Chapter 147 Gu Zhenhua: What could she have done wrong
Hu Meili didn't even need to complain. On his way back at noon, Gu Zhenhua was told about Lin Xiangnan's great achievements.
The union people came with great fanfare, and everyone in the family compound knew about it.
Gu Zhenhua did not come back alone, because he was traveling with Political Commissar Xu and Battalion Commander Wang.
Hearing that Lin Xiangnan was praised again, Captain Wang didn't know what to say, "Xiao Lin is so lucky. She has opportunities to make achievements wherever she goes."
"Hey~ Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Lin is taking risks when doing this." Political Commissar Xu's expression was more nervous than Gu Zhenhua's. He comforted Gu Zhenhua, "This time it was just an accident. And in the end, we have the assistance of the police, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Speaking of this, Political Commissar Xu felt particularly guilty.
Especially when he heard that Aunt Hua also shared in the credit, Political Commissar Xu didn't dare to look directly into Gu Zhenhua's eyes.
When Lin Xiangnan first came to the staff quarters, although he had a bit of a hot temper, he was not a street urchin. He spent all day at home studying food.
If it weren't for Aunt Hua who took the initiative to seduce Lin Xiangnan for the sake of delicious food, Lin Xiangnan wouldn't have followed Aunt Hua out every day.
It can be seen from Aunt Hua’s experience when she was young that she has always been a restless person and cannot rest even after retirement.
After so many years, Political Commissar Xu has become accustomed to his mother's temper.
But he inexplicably felt sorry for Gu Zhenhua. His mother had led Lin Xiangnan astray, and he didn't know if Gu Zhenhua could accept it.
Thinking of this, Political Commissar Xu spoke for Lin Xiangnan, "The family compound is not a big place, and you will get bored after a while. It's also good to go to the city when you have nothing to do. It's unfortunate that the car was stolen for no apparent reason."
"Yes, I think so too." Gu Zhenhua agreed, "We have no choice but to stay here every day. There is no need to make our family feel bored. Every time I think of Xiaolin leaving home and running all the way to be with me, I feel guilty."
Gu Zhenhua and Political Commissar Xu had similar ideas and both felt a little embarrassed.
Because when he married Lin Xiangnan, Lin Xiangnan had no job and was wandering around. He had heard his mother-in-law nagging about him countless times.
If you don't study, don't have a job, and don't hang out outside, do you have to stay at home all the time?
There aren't that many chores to do at home, nor are there that many books to entertain myself. It's better to go out and wander around, where I can see new scenery and encounter new things every day.
Gu Zhenhua was in this situation when he was a teenager. He had experienced it, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Xiangnan playing outside.
Even though Aunt Hua is already very old, she is still dragged around by Lin Xiangnan.
Thinking about it, Gu Zhenhua felt a little sorry for Political Commissar Xu.
Gu Zhenhua said to Political Commissar Xu with great gratitude: "Fortunately, Aunt Hua came with us this time, otherwise we would be in trouble this time."
"Xiao Lin is still the best. Haven't you heard? This time it was Xiao Lin who stood in front and protected my mother." Political Commissar Xu said modestly.
Gu Zhenhua continued to praise: "How can it be the same? Aunt Hua is an old revolutionary. She is experienced. With her around, things can go so smoothly."
The government does not have strict management over firearms among the people now. Not only Lin Xiangnan can carry a gun with him, but people of Aunt Hua's level are already equipped with a gun.
But their car was only stolen and their lives were not in danger, so they didn't take it seriously.
When Gu Zhenhua and Political Commissar Xu first heard the news that Lin Xiangnan and his friend had bravely performed a heroic act, they were a little worried and angry.
But on the way home, you advised me and I advised you, and without Lin Xiangnan and Aunt Hua having to do anything, they had already calmed each other down.
After it was over, I was still feeling lucky that there was another person there, so the one at home was safer.
It is always better to work together as a team than to go it alone.
When Gu Zhenhua returned home, he saw Lin Xiangnan frying pumpkin pancakes in the kitchen. He took the initiative to ask, "Does Aunt Hua have any?"
"She has a toothache. She won't eat."
Lin Xiangnan still remembered that Aunt Hua had just abandoned her and ran away.
"Auntie Hua won't eat it. But Political Commissar Xu and the others can eat it." Gu Zhenhua said considerately, "Political Commissar Xu was also scared by what you two did."
"Is there enough flour? I'll help you knead the dough." Gu Zhenhua washed his hands and prepared to help with the work.
"No, I have a lot of noodles..."
Before Lin Xiangnan finished speaking, Hu Meili said, "I wanted to complain to you. I didn't expect you had already heard about it. You have to take good care of Xiaonan. He keeps making trouble all day long."
"Mom, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore." Lin Xiangnan was not worried that Gu Zhenhua would scold her, but she was afraid that Gu Zhenhua would nag her.
"It's over, you said it's over? I'm still worried, afraid that the gang will retaliate against you." Hu Meili felt a headache when she talked about it. When he was in his hometown, Lin Xiangnan dared to cause trouble, and now he seems to be even more capable of making trouble.
Lin Xiangnan defended himself: "The people have been arrested, there is no way to retaliate. And they dare not."
They had all been sent to labor reform, so of course they knew whose car they had stolen. These educated youth who had secretly returned to the city were always very timid and would never dare to offend the army.
Even if they really dare to take revenge, Lin Xiangnan and Aunt Hua are not afraid.
No matter what, Lin Xiangnan had his own reasons. Hu Meili didn't argue with Lin Xiangnan. She just looked at Gu Zhenhua, hoping that Gu Zhenhua could say something.
Gu Zhenhua looked at his mother-in-law helplessly. Even his own mother couldn’t take care of her, so what could he do?
Under Hu Meili's expectant gaze, Gu Zhenhua said to Lin Xiangnan: "Although you were not injured yesterday. But I am still worried. I will teach you a few more self-defense moves later."
"Okay, I'm just thinking about learning. Yesterday, Auntie Hua was complaining about my brute force. She does have some skills, but after one blow from her, the other person was not hurt at all. She still had the nerve to complain about me."
"I have the best fighting skills. If you practice with me more, you will learn it quickly. I will also teach you techniques such as climbing trees and climbing over walls. If we really can't beat them, we can always run away..."
"Okay, you teach me. I can climb trees, but I can't climb over walls."
Seeing her son-in-law's behavior, Hu Meili laughed angrily and said with gritted teeth: "Just spoil her!"
I thought he was a comrade-in-arms, but he turned out to be an accomplice.
Lin Xiangnan is a bit unruly to begin with, and with the support of Gu Zhenhua, wouldn't he be even more lawless?
But when Gu Zhenhua returned home, Political Commissar Xu persuaded him to calm down and said, "Mom, Xiaonan just went out for a walk. What could she have done wrong? The one who did wrong was the gang of car thieves."
Lin Xiangnan agreed very much, "That's right. Our Zhenhua is still the one with a clear vision and a clear mind."
Gu Zhenhua: “Hehe~”
"I shouldn't be here!" Hu Meili gritted her teeth and stood up, "Xiao Gu, you come and light the fire. I'll go out and look after the kids."
