Chapter 311 Newcomer
Lin Xia and the others didn't know that Captain Hu had arrived. It was not until Hu Lanlan brought her children to the Women's Federation that they learned that Captain Hu had returned and had already gone to the Public Security Bureau.
But Director Pei had already received the news that the higher-ups did not want to escalate the matter.
Lin Xia wanted to send Zhao Hehua to jail, but since her leader said so, she couldn't go against his will. At least this time, if Zhao Hehua was sent to jail for a few days, she believed that after the education she received there, she would not dare to do bad things easily again.
"Don't worry." Director Pei didn't know what to say to the child. There were other arrangements, but she didn't know how to say them.
But such things will definitely not happen again in the future, at least not in the family quarters.
Hu Lanlan still believed what Director Pei said. Although she was still nervous, she was at least not as anxious.
Lin Xia was awakened by Lu Yuxiu at night and understood why the higher-ups made such a decision. She still knew too little about this era.
Hu Lanlan didn't dare sleep all night, for fear that her stepmother would suddenly come back.
Lin Xia didn't find out until the next day that Zhao Hehua had not been taken back yet, but she also knew that it was only a matter of time.
Sure enough, two days later, Captain Hu brought Zhao Hehua back home. No one knew whether they returned in the middle of the night or early in the morning. It was so quiet that if Hu Lanlan hadn't gone to report the news, they would not have known.
Although he was brought back, this matter is obviously not over yet, and there will definitely be more notifications later.
Director Pei didn't allow them to follow up on this matter anymore, and the Women's Federation no longer needed to intervene in subsequent matters.
Three days later, Lin Xia heard that Zhao Hehua had returned to her hometown in disgrace, carrying a package on her back. The gossipers were so excited, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
It was not until Lin Xia met Lu Yuxiu in the evening that she realized that this was a requirement of the army, and that Captain Hu was also punished to write a self-criticism, which would also affect his future promotion.
I don't know how his family made the decision. Only Zhao Hehua went back to her hometown and left the child here. Captain Hu was busy at home and had little time, so in the end, Hu Lanlan had to live with the child. It was obviously something that the sister did, but it was something that the mother should do.
However, at this time, this situation is not uncommon. In many families, the younger children are raised by the older children.
Lin Xia could only say that Captain Hu deserved what happened to him. As a man who neglected his own daughter and allowed his later wife to bully the child left by his ex-wife, he could only be said to be very irresponsible.
This matter was discussed in the family quarters for a long time, until someone applied for a house in the family quarters and news came that several couples were going to get married. The topic of the sisters-in-law immediately changed from complaining about Zhao Hehua to who would live in the family quarters.
It was only at this time that Lin Xia found out that the blind date she had arranged earlier had already resulted in several couples. She only knew that Song Yu had chosen one of them because he took the initiative to come to her house and brag to Lu Yuxiu that he was going to get married.
It was not until Lin Xia saw that the house in front of her house was being renovated, and the person who renovated it was Zhou Zheng, that she realized that Zhou Zheng had also found a partner at the blind date.
I couldn't help but be curious about which girl it was. Zhou Zheng had come to my house for dinner a few times. Compared with the talkative and lively Song Yu, Zhou Zheng had a completely opposite personality. He was quiet, steady, and a little cold, which was quite consistent with his identity as a doctor.
Lin Xia was quite curious about who his girlfriend was. In the future, they would be neighbors in the houses in front and behind. However, she was at work now and had not met him yet.
It was not until half a month later, when several couples held a wedding banquet together and asked Lin Xia to do makeup for the newlyweds, that Lin Xia saw Zhou Zheng’s girlfriend. She was shocked to find that it was the sweet girl who had dimples when she smiled and looked very cute.
Lin Xia couldn't imagine the two of them together, but she somehow felt that they were a good match.
However, what surprised Lin Xia the most was that Song Yu had only boasted about having a girlfriend before, but had never said who it was. When she saw that the person was Han Wei, Lin Xia was surprised in her heart, but did not show it on her face at all.
Lin Xia no longer cared about that matter. Apart from anything else, she was still very confident in her relationship with Lu Yuxiu.
If Song Yu and Han Wei met at the blind date, it means they have been together for half a year and their relationship is stable enough to get married, which means their relationship is developing well. She doesn't think Han Wei is still thinking about Lu Yuxiu. Song Yu is young and promising, and an excellent young man, although he can be funny sometimes.
Han Wei didn't know that she had asked Lin Xia to do her makeup. When she saw her, she felt a little nervous. But she thought that she had chosen to be a soldier, and she would see him sooner or later after living in the family area. When she saw that Lin Xia didn't have any strange expression after seeing her, she felt less uncomfortable.
Lin Xia finished putting makeup on He Xiao and showed her the effect in a mirror.
"Thank you so much, Comrade Lin!" He Xiao looked at herself in the mirror with joy. She was wearing a green military uniform and her face was as radiant as a peach blossom.
She didn't expect that she would be treated like this when she was really getting married. She thought it was just getting a certificate and holding a wedding banquet, but she didn't expect Lin Xia to come and do their makeup.
"Congratulations on your wedding!" Lin Xia blessed them with a smile.
After finishing her makeup, she went on to do makeup for the other two newlyweds, and finally it was Han Wei's turn.
Han Wei saw that Lin Xia didn't say anything, and all her strange feelings disappeared. However, it was her turn to put on makeup last, and she was unsure whether Lin Xia would make her look ugly or do something bad to her.
"Close your eyes." Lin Xia couldn't help but speak out when she saw Han Wei staring at her.
Seeing that there were people around her, Han Wei couldn't close her eyes honestly. She decided in her heart that if Lin Xia did something bad on purpose, she would wash it off.
"Okay, take a look."
After a few minutes, when Lin Xia spoke, she nervously opened her eyes. When she saw that she looked better in the mirror, she felt relieved and couldn't help but admire herself.
After putting on makeup, their facial features became much more refined. The most important thing is that Lin Xia has really skillful hands. The hairstyles of the four newlyweds are not the same, but they are very suitable for them.
"Is Lin Xia ready? It's about to begin!" Director Pei came backstage to check the situation.
Since it was the first time that the army held a banquet for so many people, the venue was set in the auditorium, and the tables were moved from the cafeteria.
"Okay, you can go out now." Lin Xia checked and confirmed that every bride was beautiful, then she packed up her things and prepared to go out to the banquet.
Not long after, four couples were invited out one by one, stood on the stage and listened to the leader's speech.
The core idea of the speech was that the thoughts of husband and wife should progress together. Lin Xia inexplicably felt that it was related to the incident with Zhao Hehua. The speech also emphasized the relationship of family harmony. It seemed that the leader was also scared.
But this does not affect the sight of several couples standing on the stage, the talented men and beautiful women are a perfect match and are pleasing to the eye.
Everyone below was watching with great interest. This wedding was no less exciting than a party. It might even be more popular than a party. After all, there was no banquet at a party.
Of course, it wasn't free food. Everyone brought gifts, as the cost of hosting a banquet would be quite high. So those who had food brought food, and those who had money brought money. No one came empty-handed.
After the leader has finished his speech and the newlyweds have finished their declaration, the toasting session begins.
A bunch of idiots who had never eaten enough started running around the venue and went onto the stage to play. On such a lively day, no one stopped them. After all, it was a wedding of newlyweds, and the more lively the better.
Lin Xia ate a few bites of food and then stared at the children on the stage. The younger ones ran away after just a few bites. Lin Xia knew that the food was not tasty, so they didn't want to eat it, and she didn't force the three little guys.
After all, it is a big pot meal in the cafeteria, but it is rare to have meat dishes, so it is very popular.
"Sister-in-law offers you a toast!" Song Yu was in high spirits and said to Lin Xia with a smile.
You can tell how happy he is from the blush on his face.
