Lin Jinghe had a strange expression on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Li Xia said, "Just tell me, it's okay."
"In fact, six or seven years ago, Political Commissar Shen's wife introduced me to Captain Gu for a blind date. But I was a little late that day, so he walked away with a gloomy face. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to say a word. I felt that if I had opened my mouth at that time, he would probably have hit me."
Thinking back to what happened back then, Lin Jinghe still couldn't help feeling scared.
"So I'm particularly worried that Captain Gu will treat you badly..." Lin Jinghe said.
This is different from Li Xia's impression of Gu Weicheng. Although he looks serious at ordinary times, he doesn't seem like someone who would hit others casually.
It's certainly not good to be late for time, but he wouldn't do anything violent, right?
Although she didn't know Gu Weicheng six or seven years ago, she still had confidence in Gu Weicheng's character. He couldn't be the kind of person who would hit others.
His fists are only thrown at enemies and bad guys.
Li Xia said: "Weicheng is very nice to me, but I still want to thank you for caring about me so much."
Lin Jinghe felt embarrassed: "Actually...actually I'm not that good. At first, when I heard that Captain Gu had found a country wife, I also gloated over it.
Because I thought, since he is so fierce, he can only marry a country girl. But after seeing you, I realized that there is not much difference between city people and country people. Who said country people are not good-looking? If someone says this to me in the future, I will be the first to disagree!
And you are so kind-hearted. I really like you. The more I like you, the more I can't help but worry about you. "
These are all true words from the heart.
Lin Jinghe couldn't sleep well when she thought that Gu Weicheng might abuse Li Xia.
Even though her husband Yan Ziming told her that Gu Weicheng was not the kind of man who would beat his wife, she still didn't believe it.
How could it be wrong? He looked so fierce, with a stern face all the time, just like a big iceberg. Such a man actually married such an excellent wife like Li Xia!
"You are actually very cute. Although you have gloated over other people's misfortunes, you have the courage to speak out your true thoughts, which shows that you are a genuine person. I like you very much."
"As for any possible misunderstandings about that matter, I will ask Weicheng when I return."
Lin Jinghe was obviously very happy when Li Xia said that she liked her too, but she didn't quite believe the latter part of the sentence.
Just then, Political Commissar Shen's orderly came to find Li Xia.
"Sister-in-law, the political commissar wants you to go to his office."
"Okay." Li Xia said, and then said to Lin Jinghe, "Then I'll go over first, and we'll talk next time."
Lin Jinghe nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Li Xia followed the orderly toward Political Commissar Shen's office.
Political Commissar Shen was a very kind man. When he saw Li Xia, he asked her to sit down and personally poured her a cup of tea.
Li Xia was quite nervous. After all, Political Commissar Shen was Gu Weicheng's leader. Gu Weicheng usually had to stand at attention and salute him when he saw him, and he also had to stand while answering him in his office.
But at this moment, Political Commissar Shen actually poured tea for her personally.
"Thank you, Political Commissar." Li Xia said.
Political Commissar Shen smiled and said, "You are Xiao Gu's lover. Seeing is believing. You and Xiao Gu are indeed a perfect match. You gave a very good lecture today. This is a little reward from the organization. Take it."
It was an envelope with money in it.
Li Xia quickly said, "Political Commissar, this is what I should do. I can't take the money."
"This is a personal award given to you by the organization. You should take it." Political Commissar Shen's expression became a little more serious.
"Okay then, thank you organization, thank you political commissar." Unable to refuse, Li Xia had to accept it.
Before you came to join the army, there were some voices in the army against you. I also did ideological work with Xiao Gu many times, thinking that it was not a long-term solution for a couple to live apart. Now that I have met you, I know that Xiao Gu has good vision and did not marry the wrong person. "Political Commissar Shen said with a smile.
Political Commissar Shen told Li Xia so directly that there had been some complaints about her in the army before, but it was because after meeting Li Xia, he knew that she was a reasonable person.
If it were some military dependents, they would probably make a big fuss when they heard this.
After hearing this, Li Xia smiled and said, "I know what Political Commissar Shen said, but I didn't come with the army before for other reasons."
She also told Political Commissar Shen what she had said before. She knew that the promotion of soldiers in the army was largely determined by the relationship between the couple. If a soldier could not even solve the problems in his family, the organization would have to consider the soldier's ability.
Li Xia can't hold Gu Weicheng back, so these explanations are necessary.
After leaving the political commissar's office and on the way back, Li Xia opened the envelope and found that there were eighteen yuan in it.
It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s half a month’s salary for an ordinary worker!
When An An returned home, she heard the door open and immediately went to greet her: "Mom, you're back!"
"Well, what is An An doing?" Li Xia touched An An's head and sighed again, it feels so good to touch!
An An pointed to the book on the rattan table and said, "I'm reading. There are some words I don't know. I'm waiting for mom to come back and tell me how to read them."
Mrs. Tao was drying beans in the yard next door. When she saw Li Xia coming back, she poked her head out and said,
"Xiao Li, you're back. I asked An An to come to our house to play, but he refused to come and just sat there reading a book. I couldn't understand how there could be such a well-behaved child! Our Ai Min is still young, and Ai Guo and Ai Dang are both in elementary school. They never open their books after school. I wish they could be like An An."
Li Xia smiled and said, "Every child has a different personality. It's good to be patriotic, love the party, and be active and lively."
I walked over holding An An's hand and told him how to read and what the words he didn't know meant.
After teaching, Li Xia said, "An An, how about I buy you a Xinhua Dictionary? I'll teach you how to look up words in the dictionary. When you come back and you don't know a word, you can look it up in the dictionary. There are also annotations for the words in it."
An An's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
"But before that, you have to learn pinyin first." Li Xia thought of another problem. If you don't know pinyin, you won't be able to recognize it even with a dictionary because you don't know how to spell it.
An An doesn’t know what pinyin is, but is very willing to learn.
"This eighteen yuan is a reward given to me by the organization. We will use this money to buy a dictionary for An An." Li Xia said.
An An whispered, "Mom, next time I will save people too, and use the money I get from saving people to buy things for you too."
When Li Xia heard this, she looked at An An with a smile, squatted down and said patiently:
"An An, the starting point of saving people must be to save people, not to get rewards. Mom saved little brother at the market this time, and she didn't think about getting a reward, right?
If there is no reward, will we not save people? Mom does not advocate saving people when we cannot protect ourselves, but we should do it with a clear conscience when we can. However, if we encounter something that children cannot help, we should seek help from adults. "
An An listened to her mother's words and nodded vigorously: "Mom, I understand."
"Good boy." Li Xia rubbed the top of An An's head.
An An's hair has grown a little long, so I'll take him to get a haircut later.
When Gu Weicheng came back in the evening, Li Xia had already prepared dinner.
The family sat together for dinner, and Gu Weicheng said, "Your class was good today, Teacher Li."
Today, Li Xia was called Teacher Li all day long. She didn't expect that Gu Weicheng would call her that when he came back.
Seeing that Gu Weicheng was trying to tease her, Li Xia curled her lips and snorted, "You didn't come to class, how do you know?"
Gu Weicheng smiled and said, "I heard from others that the political commissar praised you in front of me and said that I married a good wife."
Speaking of Political Commissar Shen, Li Xia smiled and said, "Today I went to the Political Commissar's office and he even poured me some tea."
"Such high treatment? I haven't even had it." Gu Weicheng sighed. Every time he went to the political commissar's office, he would listen to him convey the policies.
Before Li Xia came to join the army, the political commissar said to him most often: "Xiao Gu, you can't just focus on work, you have to maintain good family relationships too."
Now that Li Xia has joined the army, his ears are no longer tortured.
Li Xia raised her chin and said, "How about it, isn't it amazing?"
Gu Weicheng looked at Li Xia's slightly pouting red lips and thought she was so adorable that he really wanted to hug her in his arms and give her a kiss.
"By the way, let me ask you something. Do you still remember Deputy Captain Yan's lover?" Li Xia remembered what Lin Jinghe said and planned to ask Gu Weicheng what was going on.
"I know. What's wrong?" Gu Weicheng said.
"Have you two been on a blind date before? Tell me what happened."
Gu Weicheng looked puzzled: "I had a blind date with Lao Yan's wife? Wife, who told you that?"

Captain Gu: The sky is falling. I came back from work one day and suddenly found out that I had an affair with my comrade's wife.
