Chapter 51



This matter was known to Yang Ai Dang, and Lin Tao and Lin Hui were called over to inquire about what happened.

Lin Tao then told the whole story, but the "spy" thing was something she used specifically to scare Lin Hui, and she also knew that if she really told it out loud, there would be no evidence.

However, Lin Hui's resentment that the warship has not returned and her curse on Lin Tao to become a widow are real.

The situation was already bad enough for Lin Hui to drink a pot of wine.

Lin Hui was beaten and had to be educated. This time, Yang Ai Dang was not prepared to save her face and asked her to write a self-criticism. A few days later, Yang Ai Dang convened a military families meeting and asked her to publicly apologize to Lin Tao in front of all the military families for the incident.

Not only that, Yang Aidang directly told the matter to Commander Qi and asked Commander Qi to call Shen Guobin so that the couple could receive education together.

On the other hand, Yang Ai Dang was also "educating" Lin Tao.

"Lin Tao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you heard anything bad, just come and tell me and I'll handle it. How can you argue with others when you're pregnant? What if she pushes you and something happens to you, and Xiao Li is not here, how are you going to let the organization explain to Xiao Li?" Yang Aidang said.

"He is out there defending his country, but his own cousin is behind the scenes not getting any protection from the organization?" Yang Ai Dang had been on Shengshan Island for more than ten years and had long stopped speaking the Xiangcheng dialect. This time he was so frightened that he even spoke the dialect.

In fact, Lin Tao was also angry before. In the past, she ignored Lin Hui's words, but today she cursed Li Chengxi and those soldiers for trouble. She really couldn't help it.

She felt at the time that even if Lin Hui's family died, Li Chengxi and those soldiers would not die.

If Lin Hui talks nonsense, she will slap her in the face!

She didn't think much about it and really did it. She was so ruthless that the slap marks on Lin Hui's face were still there and her face was swollen.

But she also knew that Lin Hui was a person who looked powerful on the surface, but was actually a very cowardly person in her heart. When Lin Tao was a child, she saw Lin Hui bullying her, and then she turned around and was beaten by a boy in the senior grade, but she didn't dare to fight back. She knew that Lin Hui was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

She bet that Lin Hui wouldn't dare to push her because she didn't have the courage to do so.

If Lin Hui pushed herself, could she bear the responsibility?

So when Lin Hui saw Shen Jiahao say that, she laughed, because she thought Shen Jiahao was a child, and if Shen Jiahao did that, it would be none of her business.

However, Shen Jiahao didn't dare to do that.

Although Lin Tao was angry at the time, she still analyzed the pros and cons in her mind.

However, in front of Yang Aidang, she did not say anything nonsense, and she admitted her mistake to Yang Aidang: "Director Yang, I remember everything you said. I was really angry today and I will definitely not do that again in the future."

"I know that you are worried about Xiao Li in your heart. No one can stand Lin Hui's sarcastic words. But your children are more important to you right now. Just leave everything else to the organization." Yang Aidang said.

Lin Tao nodded: "Yes, Director Yang, I understand."

"Okay, that's good for you to know. Don't worry, this matter will not be let go like this, the organization will give you an explanation." Yang Aidang said.

Although she said so, Lin Tao also understood that the most the organization could do was to ask Lin Hui to apologize to her publicly.

But it was already a pretty good result. After all, Lin Tao called Lin Hui a "spy" just to scare her and exaggerate the matter.

Everyone knew whether she was a spy or not, and the organization could not really treat her as a spy.

And because of the presence of Yang Ai Dang, Lin Hui is actually restrained, otherwise she would not have come to provoke Lin Tao only once or twice in more than a year.

This time Lin Tao taught her a lesson severely, and she might never dare to provoke Lin Tao again.

Even if I hate it, I only dare to think about it in my heart.

*********************************

Not long after Lin Tao returned home, Xu Yuting and Chen Shuifen learned the news.

The two of them went to Lin Tao's house together and asked Lin Tao to tell them what had happened again.

After hearing this, Xu Yuting and Chen Shuifen were extremely shocked, because when they heard this, they didn't know that Lin Tao had beaten Lin Hui. They only knew that it was Lin Hui who said those words to hate Lin Tao. After knowing this, they were very angry, and they were more worried that Lin Tao would suffer a loss.

But just now, Lin Tao said that she slapped Lin Hui?

Lin Tao, hitting someone?

Chen Shuifen's eyes widened in disbelief: "Teacher Lin, if someone else said this, I would never believe it. You would hit someone."

While talking, he noticed the little rabbit that Lin Tao raised and said, "It seems that rabbits will bite people when they are angry. This statement makes sense."

Xu Yuting was very relieved after hearing this and said, "A Tao, you beat her well. People like Lin Hui deserve to be punished. Let her talk dirty."

If it were her, she would slap him a few more times.

They chatted about some family matters, and when it was time to cook dinner, they went home.

At night, there were sudden noises in the house.

Lin Tao was worried about Li Chengxi and had not slept well. When she heard the noise getting closer, she couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." A familiar voice, low and hoarse.

Lin Tao held the flashlight in her hand and shone it forward. The beam of light fell on the person who came, and it turned out to be Li Chengxi.

It’s Li Chengxi who’s back.

Li Chengxi's clothes were all soaked, and he was soaking wet. Lin Tao looked at the intact Li Chengxi under the beam of light, and her heart, which had been lifted up for days, finally settled down. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Chengxi, why did you come back so late in the rain?"

"I'll go get you some clothes. Change your wet clothes quickly." Lin Tao stood up and prepared to get up.

However, Li Chengxi stopped her and asked her to lie down and rest. He then lit the kerosene lamp, got some clean clothes, and took a hot shower.

Lin Tao was afraid that she didn't know when Li Chengxi would come back and there wouldn't even be hot water for a bath, so she specially boiled two pots of water in the evening. Now it was just right to use it to give Li Chengxi a bath.

After everything was cleaned up neatly, Li Chengxi came in.

Lin Tao lay on the bed waiting for him. Although it was already late at night, neither of them felt sleepy.

"It's raining heavily these days. I was always worried that something might happen to your inspection team. Fortunately, you're back." Lin Tao leaned on Li Chengxi's chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that Li Chengxi is back, she feels at ease.

Li Chengxi hugged Lin Tao and said, "The progress was indeed affected by the wind and rain. That's how it is at sea. It's easily affected by the weather. Fortunately, the impact this time was not that big. We were delayed for less than three days before returning. It's so late, why are you still awake? Or did I wake you up?"

He came back very quietly, for fear of waking Lin Tao up, but he didn't expect that Lin Tao was sleeping so lightly.

"I was worried about you. I was afraid something might happen to you. If something happened to you, what would happen to me and the baby in my belly?" Lin Tao's tone was soft and coquettish. "You said you would be gone for five days, but you were delayed by three days and came back after eight days. It didn't have much of an impact."

He didn't know how he had gotten through the past three days. She was so worried about him that she couldn't help having nightmares about him getting into trouble. When she woke up and saw that she was the only one at home, she felt heartbroken.

Lin Tao looks cute and soft, but she actually has a strong character. After marrying Li Chengxi, she rarely acts coquettishly in front of him.

This happened once in a while, and it disturbed Li Chengxi's heart. He hugged her and kissed her, assuring her: "I will be fine."

At this moment, the baby in her belly suddenly kicked Lin Tao again.

Lin Tao quickly said, "Chengxi, the baby kicked me."

The couple looked at Lin Tao's belly together, and sure enough, they saw another small bulge on Lin Tao's belly. This time it was clearer than last time.

Li Chengxi reached out and touched it, and the small bulge disappeared immediately, and soon it started to move on the other side again.

Lin Tao watched for a while, wondering if these two were playing hide-and-seek.

Li Chengxi kissed Lin Tao's belly, put his face on it, and whispered, "Are you also welcoming Dad back?"

However, this time there was no response.

The couple smiled at each other. Lin Tao thought for a moment and told Li Chengxi what had happened that day.

When Li Chengxi heard this, his first reaction was the same as Yang Aidang's. He was worried about Lin Tao. She was so pregnant and yet she dared to hit someone. He was not by her side. If something happened, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Li Chengxi hugged Lin Tao and said fearfully, "Tao, nothing is more important to me than you. If you encounter any problems in the future, come to me and I will solve them. If I am not here, you can find Director Yang. Don't solve them by yourself in the future. It is too dangerous."

Lin Tao knew that Li Chengxi cared about her, so she nodded and agreed.

She was indeed taking a risk this time.

Li Chengxi saw Lin Tao agreed and smiled: "But I didn't expect Ah Tao to hit people."

"Not only can I hit people, I can also bite them." Lin Tao heard the teasing in Li Chengxi's tone, snorted lightly, and bit Li Chengxi's shoulder lightly.

Rather than biting, it would be more accurate to say that the teeth are gently grinding.

It didn't hurt, but it gave Li Chengxi a strange feeling.

The couple felt like newlyweds after a short separation. They missed each other very much during the past week. Lin Tao was undoubtedly walking into a trap. Li Chengxi groaned and his eyes darkened.

In addition, Lin Tao has been pregnant for more than five months and is about to enter the late stage of pregnancy. After entering the late stage of pregnancy, Li Chengxi dared not touch her again.

While there was still a chance, Li Chengxi didn't hold back any longer and hugged Lin Tao's slender waist.

Lin Tao's body shuddered at the slight touch.

Lin Tao was pregnant, and Li Chengxi took care of her body. Even if he wanted to do it in his heart, he didn't dare to act according to his temper.

After the conversation, Lin Tao leaned against Li Chengxi's chest, her fair cheeks flushed with red, her eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water. Her hair was a little messy, but it added a bit of charm.

Li Chengxi lowered his head and kissed her on the lips again.

With Li Chengxi by her side, Lin Tao finally slept peacefully.

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and smiling more.

Li Chengxi's group of officers who are going to patrol the sea will have an extra day off today and can join the group tomorrow.

The winds and waves were strong on the ship these days, and even though all the people on board were marines, many people still vomited.

Although Li Chengxi did not vomit, it must not have been a pleasant experience to be on the boat in the wind and waves for several days and to complete the mission.

It was too dark last night, even with the kerosene lamp lit. Later, Lin Tao was too sleepy to check with Li Chengxi carefully.

Lin Tao had a good sleep last night. When she woke up this morning, she found that Li Chengxi was not awake for the first time. She looked at the time again and realized that she had woken up too early.

She has been thinking about Li Chengxi these days and has not been able to fall asleep.

But she slept well last night, and now she was full of energy and didn't feel sleepy, so Lin Tao simply stopped sleeping. She supported her chin with her hand and looked at the man beside her.

She reached out and touched his nose and the strong lines on his face. She felt that he seemed to have lost some weight, and Lin Tao felt a little distressed.

She still had to go to class today, so she told Li Chengxi to go to the food factory to buy some meat and seafood. She wanted to make more delicious food today to reward him.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Chen Shuifen who was also going to work.

When Chen Shuifen saw Lin Tao, she asked, "Teacher Lin, has Captain Li returned?"

Lin Tao was stunned and glanced towards the house. Li Chengxi came back last night and didn't need to go to the tour group today. He hadn't left the house yet. How did Chen Shuifen know this?

Seeing her like this, Chen Shuifen smiled: "I haven't seen Captain Li, but as soon as I saw the expression on your face, I knew that Captain Li must have returned. You were worried a few days ago, but now you look so relaxed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

Lin Tao suddenly realized that her performance was so obvious.

He smiled and said that Li Chengxi had indeed returned, having returned last night.

"I'm glad you're back, so you don't have to worry about me all day long." After Chen Shuifen finished speaking, the two of them walked forward for a while, and because they didn't work in the same place, they separated and went to work separately.

*********************************

Yang Ai-dang kept her word. Within two days, she convened a meeting of all military families.

Basically all the military wives from Shengshan Island came. Some of them knew what was going on, while some didn’t. So they pulled those who knew to find out what had happened.

Yang Aidang then roughly recounted what had happened, and then said, "I have said this many times. Although you are not party members, your men are. As military wives, you should have the awareness of military wives. The military is not a country village. You can say whatever you want and quarrel if you want. You should pay attention to the impact."

Then Lin Hui read her apology letter and apologized to Lin Tao.

In front of so many military wives, Lin Hui felt humiliated. Looking at Lin Tao in front of her, she couldn't say the three words "I'm sorry".

Someone in the audience was unhappy and shouted, "Are you going to apologize or not? If you want to apologize, do it quickly."

"That's right, there's work to do at home, don't waste time there."

"What's wrong with this person? He dares to do it but dares not admit it."

"You probably don't know this, but she is the relative of Deputy Battalion Commander Shen. I really don't know what Deputy Battalion Commander Shen wants from her. She has been with the army for more than a year, so she must have gotten into a lot of trouble, right? Not as bad as the one mentioned above. But the one mentioned above was just unlucky. She gave birth to three children, but she just died like that."

"She's young, what else can I want from her?"

"Quiet, quiet!" Yang Ai Dang saw that there was a commotion below, so he quickly organized the discipline and glanced at Lin Hui, "Lin Hui, don't dawdle."

Lin Hui was a little afraid of Yang Ai Dang, so she bowed to Lin Tao and said, "I'm sorry."

Lin Tao sat there, looking at Lin Hui indifferently.

She thought to herself, when she was in Taohua Village, Lin Hui could never have imagined that one day she would be beaten by herself and would have to apologize to herself in front of so many people.

She still remembered the pride on Lin Hui's face and her contempt for herself when she was going to marry Shen Guobin.

Finally, Lin Tao said: "It's not me you feel sorry for. You shouldn't apologize to me, but to all the soldiers. Lin Hui, I hope you can remember that the land under your feet was defended by our soldiers with their lives and blood. It is because of their sacrifices on the front line that we have the good life we ​​have today. We should respect and love the soldiers, instead of cursing them to 'never come back' for our own selfish desires."

After Lin Tao's words came out, the group of military wives who were just watching the excitement at first couldn't help but stand in awe.

Because Lin Tao was right, and they would listen to whoever was right.

It was not long after the liberation of New China that they could not easily forget the suffering they endured. Their current good life was brought back by those heroes.

Even if they don't think about anything else, they have to remember that their men are also soldiers. And Lin Hui actually cursed the inspection team not to come back at that time. It was really vicious.

There were so many lives lost in the patrol team. Fortunately, they all came back safely last night.

Among them were also family members of soldiers who had just returned from the inspection team. After hearing Lin Tao's words, they felt even more empathetic and despised people like Lin Hui.

Amid the enthusiastic applause from the military wives, Lin Tao quietly returned to her seat.

Finally, Yang Ai Dang spoke, ending the meeting.

When they were leaving, Yang Aidang went back with Lin Tao and half-jokingly said on the way: "Teacher Lin, you really are worthy of being an educator. When you speak, everyone listens to you. I now feel that you are not only capable of education, but if you help the organization do political work, you will definitely be a good hand."

Lin Tao quickly said, "I just said what I thought. I haven't done a good job in education yet. If I try to do political work, won't it be a mess?"

"Don't be so modest. I saw it just now. What you said is very good." Yang Aidang said.

If others didn't know, how could she not know? She had seen dead bodies when she was a teenager, and she had helped many guerrillas. What kind of life did they live then? What kind of life do they live now?

Lin Tao's father is a retired soldier, so it can be said that Lin Tao grew up under the influence of the military.

She didn't know what other people felt, but what she said was indeed from the bottom of her heart. That day she was angry at Lin Hui for saying that about Li Chengxi, and she was also angry at Lin Hui for cursing so many soldiers that they would never come back just to piss her off.

When she was little, she heard her father tell her about the war, and how soldiers were injured, some had their hands blown off by stray bullets, and some lost their legs. They gnawed on tree roots when they were hungry, and they sacrificed their lives to defend their country.

Every time she heard this, she would hug her father with tears in her eyes.

Although her father didn't have his arms and legs broken like his comrades, she knew that he also had many injuries. These were injuries he got while fighting on the front lines. Later, when she married Li Chengxi, she saw the long scar on his back after he took off his clothes.

He asked her if she was ugly.

She stroked it gently, how could she find it ugly?

In the past, she thought her father was a great hero, but now, she has two great heroes.

Although she couldn't take up arms and rush to the front line like her father and Li Chengxi, she has been loving soldiers since she was a child.
