Chapter 189 Helping Friends

It's obvious that they didn't get the scriptures well. Which couple would give gifts on such a festival?

But Lin Xiangnan was not picky. After coming to her senses, she happily put on the hairpin and looked forward to the August 1st Army Day.

"It seems that the recent rectification movement in your army is still useful. You have made great progress."

Gu Zhenhua coughed lightly and said, "We are all comrades-in-arms, and it is only right that we help each other."

During this period, except for Captain Wang who was not living a good life, other families lived in great harmony.

When a family has problems, most of the problems are with the men, but they themselves don’t realize it.

But after communicating with each other, the men with a little conscience began to reflect on themselves. Once they changed, the family atmosphere immediately became warm.

Even if you will fall back into your old habits before long, it is good to be able to recognize your mistakes for a short time.

But Captain Wang was in a miserable situation. He was the typical person who was criticized during this period and had to write many self-criticisms.

He became so depressed after writing this.

Gu Zhenhua had heard his review and self-criticism, but he knew as soon as he heard it that what Captain Wang said was all a fig leaf.

Captain Wang still hasn't figured out the key things.

They are all comrades who fought side by side. Even if they don't like Battalion Commander Wang's approach, Gu Zhenhua and Political Commissar Xu still don't forget to give him advice and try to help him improve.

"I'm changing, I'm changing, I'm really changing." Captain Wang promised: "From now on, if I see a woman, I will run away. I promise there won't be any gossip about my behavior anymore."

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but shook his head, "You still haven't understood it. Forget it, your newly married Liu Feng hasn't made any progress in all these years, so it doesn't matter."

"I know your Xiao Lin is very capable." Captain Wang couldn't help but mutter, "It's not like I don't know that. There's nothing to brag about in front of me."

Lin Xiangnan's status in their department was obvious to all. Even Captain Wang could not say anything. At most he could only complain that Lin Xiangnan's life was too leisurely.

Gu Zhenhua is very supportive of Lin Xiangnan's attitude towards life.

With a brain like that, if he still works so hard, he will have no way out. It's good to work hard while having fun.

When Lin Xiangnan stayed at home and didn't go shopping in the city, Gu Zhenhua would ask with concern, "Why didn't you go into the city this week?"

"Auntie Hua helped an old friend last month. This month, she plans to keep a low profile and stay at home."

There was no point in Lin Xiangnan going shopping alone without anyone to accompany him.

"Is it because I have spent all my salary?" Gu Zhenhua said under great pressure, "I should have a chance to be promoted to deputy regiment commander this time, and then my salary will be able to increase a bit."

"Don't worry. Aunt Hua's salary isn't enough, but ours is. If it doesn't work out, I can still work two more hours a day."

Aunt Hua keeps a low profile, not because she has no money, but because the friend she helps has a sensitive identity.

Aunt Hua herself was very sensitive about these things. When she met old friends, not only her son didn't know about it, she even didn't bring Lin Xiangnan with her, for fear of implicating her own people, so she was very cautious.

She has been so cautious over the past ten years and has never had any problems.

Lin Xiangnan knew that those people would become big bosses in the future, but she never thought of currying favor with them. Aunt Hua wanted to protect her, so she obediently did not follow her and take risks.

No matter what happens in the future, these people are indeed trouble now, and it is easy to get yourself into trouble if you get involved with them.

But she had been hanging out with Aunt Hua for so long that she was unconsciously treated as one of her own.

Even if she went into the city alone to buy things, she was dragged to ask for help.

"Sister Xiaolin, can you lend me some money first? My grandpa is coughing up blood, and I want to take him to the hospital to buy medicine."

Lin Xiangnan pointed at his nose and said, "Me? We have only met a few times and have never spoken to each other. You're asking me to borrow money?"

She was stunned, okay? A child who was almost a stranger came up to her and called her name and asked her to borrow money.

If it weren't for the wrong era, she would have almost suspected it was a scam.

"I'm sorry, sister. I was so anxious that I lost my mind. Can you help tell Grandma Hua that my grandfather is sick and that I'm Guo Jiren and that Grandma Hua knows me?"

Only after the child introduced himself did Lin Xiangnan trust him a little more.

She had an impression of this family and even knew where they lived.

Usually when she and Aunt Hua were strolling around on their bicycles, they would occasionally meet them, and Aunt Hua would nod at them and say hello.

On the surface, it seems like they know each other, but the relationship is not very familiar.

But Guo Jiren dared to borrow money from Aunt Hua and said it so naturally. Lin Xiangnan knew that they must have a good relationship in private.

Seeing the child's anxious look, Lin Xiangnan was also worried that his grandfather would get sick.

If it was delayed for a day, the child's grandfather would be gone. Not only would Lin Xiangnan feel guilty, but he would also be embarrassed to face Aunt Hua.

She took out ten yuan from her pocket and said, "I'll lend you this money first. Take your grandfather to the hospital for treatment. I'll tell Aunt Hua when I get back."

"Thank you, sister." Guo Jiren took the money, thanked her, and hurried home to find his grandfather.

Lin Xiangnan continued his shopping spree. After buying the things, he went to the street urchin Gao Ziqiang to buy a bag of eggs and an exquisite small ornament.

When she got home, she took the things she had bought and went to see Aunt Hua.

"The herbs you asked me to bring for you are already prepared. Just soak them in wine."

Lin Xiangnan put the medicine bag on the table and said, "I was walking on the street today and saw a kid named Guo Jiren who asked me to borrow money for his medical treatment. I lent him ten dollars."

"Oh. Then you stand here and wait, I'll give you the money." Aunt Hua said calmly.

"Don't you even ask what's going on? The kid rushed up to me and asked me to borrow money. I was shocked. But later I guessed that you two were acquaintances."

Lin Xiangnan felt that Aunt Hua should at least praise himself for his cleverness.

Aunt Hua counted the money while saying, "I asked him to do this. I told him you were my neighbor and that he couldn't find me, so I asked you to help pass the message. You have a lot of free time, so it's easy to run into you."

After she retired, she lived in a family compound. Although it allowed her to avoid the limelight, it was not very convenient to contact others. Usually, she was the only one who contacted others, and no one else contacted her.

"You sound like you're so busy." Lin Xiangnan was speechless. No wonder Guo Jiren knew her last name was Lin. It turned out that Aunt Hua had already told her that.

"Yes, it's because we are both free. That's why it's been almost two years and this is the first time Xiao Guo has come to you."

Aunt Hua said proudly, "And I didn't assign the wrong person. Not only are you free, you also have money. Your ten dollars will help them out of their urgent need, won't it?"
