Chapter 11 Fulfilling one's responsibilities
Huo Tingxiao saw Xiao Sun standing there in a daze, "What? Don't you understand?"
Xiao Sun quickly shook his head, "No, Captain, I'll deliver your things to the dormitory right away."
After a moment of stagnant silence, Shen Qingran spoke, "Comrade Xiao Sun, I'm sorry to have troubled you on the way. I'll treat you to a meal later."
Sun Feng immediately smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll deliver the captain's things first, see you next time."
Although he didn't know what the commander was thinking, it was his duty to obey orders.
The vehicle gradually drove away, raising a light cloud of dust.
"I'll take you in."
Huo Tingxiao bent down and picked up her luggage and another bag.
Walk towards the family compound.
Shen Qingran didn't say anything, but she knew very well why he did that.
It was simply because he was afraid that she would climb into his bed.
I feel a little aggrieved.
It’s not because he doesn’t live at home, but because it’s really uncomfortable to be misunderstood, and there’s no way to explain it.
She followed in small steps.
A tall and handsome man, followed by a petite and beautiful girl in military uniform, naturally attracted many people's attention.
Many old ladies and young wives in the family compound were leaning over to look this way.
After walking for a distance, Shen Qingran was already sweating profusely.
In such a hot summer, she felt like she was about to be steamed.
He finally arrived in front of a house and stopped.
He turned around, pushed open the fence and invited her in.
Her already fair skin was glowing as if soaked in milk, and her loose army green jacket was curved up and down.
The calves, which cover just below the knees, are straight and slender.
There was a dark gleam in his eyes.
Turned and walked towards the yard.
Seeing a stone bench, Shen Qingran sat down in the small courtyard to rest for a while.
Take a look at the layout here.
But suddenly, a strange voice sounded in my ears.
"Oh, you are the country girl that Xiao Huo married?"
A pair of eyes were looking at Shen Qingran.
"It's so hot in summer, wearing a man's military uniform is not going to make you look good."
"A man's military uniform should not be worn carelessly. This little Huo is really ignorant."
Her voice was so loud that it naturally attracted a lot of people around her to gather around.
His eyes moved back and forth between her and Zhao Cuifang in an ambiguous manner.
All the older military wives in the entire family compound know about it.
Zhao Cuifang moved into the compound under the pretext of being Captain Kong's distant cousin, just to find a better family for her daughter.
The first one he fell in love with was Huo Tingxiao.
Unfortunately, Huo Tingxiao refused, but the girl insisted on doing so. In the end, she got a bad reputation and hastily married a worker.
Zhao Cuifang was holding her breath.
Two days ago she heard that Huo Tingxiao married a country woman.
That gave her the opportunity.
I almost took a loudspeaker and announced it everywhere.
In the past two days, she has been scolding Huo Tingxiao in front of everyone, openly and secretly, saying that he is blind and that even a village girl can fancy him.
She never expected to see Shen Qingran's appearance at the door today.
She is so beautiful that she looks like a fairy descending to earth.
It just went silent.
A few people nearby who didn't get along with her couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words to her.
"No wonder Captain Huo hasn't gotten married for so long? It turns out he likes such beautiful women. Most people can't compare to him."
Zhao Cuifang was so angry at these words that her teeth ached and she rushed over.
What's the point of being pretty? You're just a country woman.
She was even more arrogant, "What kind of good woman would run around wearing men's clothes? It's obvious that she is not decent."
A seductive little S-type product.
Shen Qingran glanced at her. Is this woman crazy?
She stood up, her tone still restrained.
"Auntie, the clothes I'm wearing belong to my husband. They've been soaked by the drink. Am I going to run around outside with wet clothes?"
Zhao Cuifang was choked by her words, what a sharp-tongued little girl.
She had never suffered such a punishment before, and she immediately started cursing.
"Country people just don't know manners. Didn't your family teach you to respect your elders?"
"Zhao Cuifang, you are so shameless. When did you become someone else's elder? Aren't you afraid of making a fuss when you say this?"
Shen Qingran turned her head to look at the woman who was speaking for her. She had shoulder-length hair, and was wearing a floral shirt and navy blue pants. She had a regular appearance, and she looked like someone who was in a peaceful and prosperous country.
"Chen Hong, stop pretending to be a good person. After all, I have lived in the compound for so many years. How can I not be considered an elder?"
Although Shen Qingran is not the type who likes to argue with others, today is her first time in the compound.
If you are cowardly, everyone will step on you in the future.
She nodded seriously, looking like she was being taught.
He said sincerely, "Aunt, I just arrived today and didn't know there was such a rule. I will go to the political commissar and ask how many elders there are in our compound. I will definitely visit them one by one."
Zhao Cuifang didn't expect that Shen Qingran, a newcomer, would dare to speak so harshly.
You also have to go find the political commissar, who is a treacherous villain.
"You are so sharp-tongued. Today I will teach you a lesson."
At this time, a cold and low voice was heard.
"Who are you going to teach the rules to?"
Shen Qingran turned her head and saw Huo Tingxiao's chilling eyes. His sharp gaze was full of oppression, which made people feel afraid.
That is the aura of a superior that has been cultivated over many years.
Suddenly, Zhao Cuifang took a few steps back.
"Xiao, Xiao Huo, you are here."
Huo Tingxiao stared at Zhao Cuifang's face coldly, "I will invite Captain Kong to go with me to the political commissar later, and count in front of him how many elders I, Huo Tingxiao, have."
When Zhao Cuifang heard that Huo Tingxiao was actually going to take her brother-in-law to the political commissar, she immediately wilted.
If my brother-in-law knew about this, he would definitely kick me out.
Now that her sister is gone, she has finally been able to live a good life, so she won’t go back.
Besides, she...Thinking of this, Zhao Cuifang quickly spoke.
"That's not what I meant, Xiao Huo. It's all a misunderstanding. I just said it nonsense."
As he said this, he slapped himself on the mouth a few times.
He turned around and smiled apologetically at Shen Qingran.
"Girl, I was just joking with you just now. You are so generous, don't take it to heart."
Shen Qingran looked at Zhao Cuilan and smiled coldly. This person is really shameless.
What? If you mind it, you are narrow-minded.
Just as Shen Qingran was about to speak, Huo Tingxiao's thin lips moved slightly, "Then I will go to see Captain Kong later. I hope this aunt will be more generous and not bother with me."
The boomerang pierced her body and Zhao Cuilan was completely defeated.
Apologize sincerely to Shen Qingran.
"sorry!"
Huo Tingxiao glanced at the other person coldly, turned around and took Shen Qingran's hand and walked home.
Everyone watched a great show, and when it ended, everyone naturally dispersed.
After entering the door, Huo Tingxiao immediately let go of Shen Qingran's hand.
Shen Qingran stood aside, looking at him with a frown and a dark face.
"Thank you for today. I will avoid them next time."
Huo Tingxiao looked at her with her head lowered and her eyes moved back and forth over her body carefully.
There was a slight arc between his eyebrows.
I don’t know if she really meant that or if she was just pretending for herself.
But none of this matters.
He was just fulfilling his responsibilities just now.
In a cold voice, "No need, just do as it should be."
