Chapter 43 Chapter 43 I like to talk to you before going to bed...
Liang Xin looked back at the unhappy Lu Chongfeng and chuckled, "We've been married for so long... I was thinking about the new sister-in-law in the bakery."
"Instructor Song's family?"
Lu Chongfeng was led away by the topic, "What happened to her?"
"Are you familiar with Instructor Song?"
“Not familiar.”
Lu Chongfeng put away the dishes and wiped the table clean with a rag. "I never realized before that soldiers could have so many relationship problems."
"man......"
Liang Xin said, "That's all."
"I'm not like them."
Lu Chongfeng poked his chopsticks on the table and said, "Even if I become a general, I will still be loyal to my leader."
Liang Xin looked at his arrogant face, and raised the corner of her lips, "Then I wish you can get what you want soon."
After training in the morning and evening and at night every day, Lu Chongfeng would go to the bathhouse to take a shower before coming back.
After washing the dishes, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth, then returned to bed.
Lu Chongfeng took the yarn from Liang Xin's hand and asked, "You haven't told me yet, what do you want to do with Instructor Song's family?"
Liang Xin's eyes were tired, so she handed him the needle in her hand and asked him to put it on the box. "Nothing happened. Instructor Song didn't give his family a salary or a shopping permit. The mother and daughter lived on wild vegetables in the family compound for a few days..."
"What?"
Lu Chongfeng sat up suddenly, "Is there such a thing in the military camp?"
"Now, this instructor Song has suddenly become a different person, gentle and considerate to his family. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Lu Chongfeng scratched his head, "He wants to have a relationship with his family member?"
Liang Xin: “….”
Liang Xin rubbed her eyes, lifted the quilt and lay down, "Turn off the lights, go to sleep."
“Don’t.”
Lu Chongfeng lay down in the quilt and hugged Liang Xin from behind, "I like to chat with you before going to bed."
Liang Xin didn't say anything and closed her eyes to sleep.
"I'll think about it carefully."
Lu Chongfeng rested his chin on the crook of Liang Xin's neck, turned his head to smell the scent of Liang Xin's vanishing cream and shampoo cream mixed together. His head slowly seemed to be filled with a layer of mist, and the hands around Liang Xin's chest gradually began to stir.
Liang Xin patted his hands.
"Thinking about it. Thinking seriously."
Lu Chongfeng grabbed Liang Xin's hand and rubbed the delicate back of her hand. "Do you think he has bad intentions? How did you meet a lesbian who needs help again?"
Liang Xin: "......I want to know too."
Lu Chongfeng raised his face, smiled and kissed Liang Xin's chin, "If the men in this barracks could be half as good as you, the rear would be much more stable."
Liang Xin pretended to yawn.
I mentioned Wang Daya just now just to avoid the topic of Wei Yuanyang.
"Go to sleep. I'm going to dig shepherd's purse tomorrow morning."
"Aren't we finished talking yet?"
"......"
Lu Chongfeng took Liang Xin's hand, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then kissed it, "You can rest assured about this matter. First, you saved Commander Yang's daughter, and then revealed the matter of Deputy Division Commander Zhu. The division leaders now attach great importance to the rear issues. It is impossible for them to allow Instructor Song to bully his family members and even behave like an ungrateful person. The army will never allow the emergence of Chen Shimei-style soldiers!"
"It was because the army didn't allow him to do so that he suddenly changed his mind."
"What's the meaning?"
Liang Xin turned over and slept face to face with him. "If you don't want to sleep, change the subject and stop talking about other people in bed." Lu Chongfeng lowered his head and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Liang Xin: “….”
Liang Xin yawned and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Lu Chongfeng kissed her.
Liang Xin: “….”
What comprehension!
It was still dark and the electricity wasn't back on when there was a knock on the door.
Liang Xin was too tired last night to get up to take a shower. Even though Lu Chongfeng brought a basin of hot water to the bedside, she was unable to get up.
Lu Chongfeng knew that she would have a day off the next day and wouldn't have to get up to go to work, so he did this over and over again, as if she was very hungry. In the end, Liang Xin didn't even have the strength to hug his neck.
Looking at Lu Chongfeng getting up, his body without pajamas, his muscles were full of strength. If he continued training like this, even the tigers in the mountains might not be able to beat him.
"Which family member is so proactive before the wake-up call has even been sounded?"
Lu Chongfeng put on his military uniform and looked back at Liang Xin. "I used hot water to wipe you twice last night. Do you want me to boil some water for you to take a bath?"
Liang Xin didn't feel uncomfortable under her body, so she got up and tidied up the quilt, "Go and see who it is."
Lu Chongfeng casually grabbed a handful of messy hair with both hands, fastened his hair button, and walked out.
"Hello, Director Liang, are you home?"
"exist."
Lu Chongfeng looked at Wang Daya standing outside and asked, "Why so early?"
Wang Daya was very nervous. "I, it's not early. If I go too late, it will be gone."
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down."
When Liang Xin walked out of the room, she had already tidied up her braids and arranged the sheets and quilts, "Did Xiaoya go to school?"
Wang Daya glanced at Lu Chongfeng, who was almost as tall as the door. She felt a strong sense of oppression and wanted to hide away. "I'll go first. I'll go first and call Li Mao, my sister-in-law."
Wang Daya disappeared at the door in an instant.
"Look how scared you are."
"How did I scare her?"
Lu Chongfeng closed the door, looking puzzled, "Do I look scary?"
"You're not going to train?"
"The division commander has to go to the base for a meeting this morning. I'm going to exercise first and will bring you soy milk and fried dough sticks when I come back."
Liang Xin nodded, watched him walk out, and went to the kitchen to help Xiaoju and Xiaobai soak the steamed buns.
The two little ones were sleeping soundly in their old cotton-padded jackets.
Xiaoju curled up his body, while Xiaobai lay on his belly with his feet resting on the bamboo basket.
The sun rises from the east, casting light into the yard.
Liang Xin heard the noise from Li Mao next door, calling Daqiang, Erqiang and Xiaodan to eat.
He washed his face with an enamel basin and poured the water into the pepper field.
"Liang Xin, are you up?"
Li Mao climbed up the wall with a white steamed bun in his hand. Before he could say anything, Daqiang also climbed up and raised the bread in his hand, "Auntie, the bread is so delicious, thank you!"
Seeing Daqiang's head being patted down by Li Mao, Liang Xin laughed and said, "You're welcome."
"Daya said the service center has received a batch of seedlings. After we finish digging wild vegetables, why don't we plant them today while we have a day off?"
"Okay."
"Then hurry up and have breakfast. We'll go call them later. Daya has already picked out which piece of shepherd's purse has the most."
Liang Xin was surprised for a moment and nodded.
I ate soy milk, fried dough sticks and eggs.
Liang Xin picked up the vegetable basket, found a small hoe with a short handle, put on a pair of blue sleeves, changed her five-hole cotton shoes and put on black strapless cloth shoes.
Lu Chongfeng looked at Liang Xin's feet wearing shoes and smiled for a moment.
Liang Xin: "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Chongfeng squatted at Liang Xin's feet and measured her feet with his hands. "They suddenly became very small."
“.......”
boring.
Liang Xin threw the hoe to the ground. The sense of crisis she had developed over the years made Lu Chongfeng stop immediately. "Murdering your husband?"
"Liang Xin, gone?"
Li Mao's voice came from outside the door. From the noise, it seemed that Zhong Xuelian and Xia Xia had also arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, everyone was there, gathering around the door.
The door next door suddenly opened and Yu Honghong came out. "What are you doing?"
No one answered her.
Yu Honghong didn't feel embarrassed and asked again: "Just now I seemed to hear that you were going to pick shepherd's purse? It happens that I also want to eat shepherd's purse fried rice cake, I will go with you."
Li Mao curled his lips and said, "You are so shameless."
Xia Xia looked at Liang Xin, "What should we do?"
"Shepherd's purse grows wild, so you can dig it whenever you want."
Liang Xin looked at Lu Chongfeng and said, "Bring back a big yellow croaker at noon."
Lu Chongfeng nodded, put on his hat, and strode away with his chest out.
The poplar forest beside the field ditches has a warm and humid climate with plenty of sunlight and water.
Shepherd's purse, thatch, dandelion, morning glory, and purslane are everywhere.
Liang Xin squatted on the ground, pulled out a thatch needle from a clump of emerald green grass, peeled off the tender green skin covered with dew, put the snow-white and soft flower spike into her mouth, and chewed it gently, enjoying the sweetness and fresh grass fragrance.
Suddenly, a handful of fresh green straw was handed over.
"Liang Xin..."
Li Mao's voice suddenly stopped and he looked at the gay man who suddenly appeared next to Liang Xin.
Liang Xin stood up while chewing straw and looked at Wei Yuanyang who was wearing a green military uniform.
"You still like to eat thatch." Wei Yuanyang looked at the thatch in his palm. "When I saw this this morning, I thought of your preference for eating it. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Wei Yuanyang's eyes hid a hint of surprise as he stared at Liang Xin.
Li Mao stood in front of Liang Xin and said unhappily, "Comrade, why are you staring at other people's family members like this?"
When Xia Xia and others heard the noise, they all ran over here carrying hoes and vegetable baskets, looking at Wei Yuanyang warily.
"Don't misunderstand, sisters-in-law." Wei Yuanyang explained, "I am Wei Yuanyang from the kitchen squad of the 3rd Company of the 22nd Regiment. I am a new recruit who just joined the army this year. Liang Xin and I have known each other for a long time and we are also relatives."
"know?"
Li Mao turned around and looked at Liang Xin, "Really?"
Liang Xin nodded, "He owes me money."
Wei Yuanyang: “........”
For a moment I didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.
"You owe me money and you want to pay it back with straw?"
Li Mao looked at the straw in Wei Yuanyang's hand and said, "You are dreaming too much. Or do you want to give me some straw in order to borrow some more money?"
Wei Yuanyang was even more speechless. He wanted to open his mouth several times but didn't know what to say.
Li Mao pointed at Wei Yuanyang and said, "See, I was right. You have a good heart, don't fall for this."
"Who is this?"
Yu Honghong suddenly stared at Wei Yuanyang.
As the male lead, he is naturally very handsome.
After three months in the recruit company, although he got a little tanned, he had built up muscles and looked more manly than his previous pretty boy look.
In the past, it was a purely intellectual aura, but now it is an outstanding temperament that is both literary and martial.
Liang Xin picked up a small hoe and squatted down to cut shepherd's purse.
The shepherd's purse spread out on the ground like green lotus flowers, with serrated leaves. Liang Xin found that the hoe was not easy to use, so she changed to a sickle, cut a fresh shepherd's purse easily along the ground, shook off the soil, and put it in the basket.
When others saw Liang Xin was busy, they realized that Wei Yuanyang was not a close relative of her family.
When they heard that he was a soldier from the 22nd Regiment's kitchen squad, they realized that there was no danger, so they squatted down with their tools and started picking wild vegetables, and ignored him.
During the three painful months in the recruit company, Wei Yuanyang persevered only because he thought of Liang Xin.
When he heard that Liang Xin was working in logistics, he gave up the path of a military and political cadre and joined logistics.
Now that they finally meet again, he is very excited, but he finds that Liang Xin doesn't care about him at all, which makes him feel sad.
Although Liang Xin had this attitude, Wei Yuanyang's joy at seeing Liang Xin just two days after arriving quickly overshadowed the pain. He stepped forward and cut several fresh shepherd's purse and prepared to put them in Liang Xin's basket.
Liang Xin took the basket away, frowned and looked up, "Are you crazy?"
Wei Yuanyang held the shepherd's purse in his hand and said, "I just want to help you."
Liang Xin carried the sickle and the basket, walked away from him, and squatted in another place.
Wei Yuanyang pursed his lips and looked at Liang Xin's back.
Suddenly, an empty vegetable basket was handed to Wei Yuanyang.
Yu Honghong smiled and said, "Give it to me."
Wei Yuanyang turned his head to look at Yu Honghong, then looked down at the basket in her hand, and casually threw the shepherd's purse into the dung basket filled with pig grass next to him.
Yu Honghong: “….”
Looking at the shepherd's purse in the dung basket in surprise.
No cadre had ever treated her like this.
Not to mention he's just a little warrior.
Wei Yuanyang walked towards Liang Xin, when suddenly, he heard the sound of running footsteps coming from the poplar forest.
Liang Xin also heard the footsteps and turned around to see Lu Chongfeng running up the slope with big strides. His black hair fluttered in the wind and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto his face, making his facial features look as if covered in a layer of gold.
As soon as he saw Wei Yuanyang, his eyes narrowed slightly and the leaves under his feet made a "crunching" sound.
Wei Yuanyang resisted the urge to step back, stood where he was, and looked at Lu Chongfeng.
When Yu Honghong saw this scene, she thought of Xie Kangmei's uncontrollable cowardice when she saw Lu Chongfeng, and she couldn't help but look at Wei Yuanyang again.
"Why are you here?" Liang Xin didn't stand up, but bent down to cut the shepherd's purse in her hand.
Lu Chongfeng suddenly stood behind Liang Xin, glanced at Wei Yuanyang, and reached out to pull down the hem of Liang Xin's blue thin jacket.
Liang Xin was dragged down onto his calves. Lu Chongfeng quickly reached out and held her armpits on both sides. "Am I strong?"
Seeing the two people's familiar and intimate actions, Wei Yuanyang tightened his grip on the sickle and smiled, "Chongfeng, long time no see."
Lu Chongfeng helped Liang Xin up and looked down at her legs. "Are you feeling numb?"
He did not respond to Wei Yuanyang's words.
Wei Yuanyang didn't feel embarrassed. "I have to feed the pigs every day. If you want to eat wild vegetables, I can cut some every day and send them to you."
“No need!”
Lu Chongfeng didn't even look at Wei Yuanyang. Thinking of Liang Xin who had just squatted down, a small piece of skin on her waist was exposed under the hem of her clothes as her hands moved. He took the sickle from Liang Xin's hand, squatted down, and cut a piece of shepherd's purse.
As the sickle moved, the soil was turned up and hit Wei Yuanyang and Yu Honghong's feet.
The two of them quickly took a step back.
Yu Honghong said: "Chief Lu, people are so polite to you, how can you have this attitude?"
Liang Xin looked over and asked, "Are you helping others when you see injustice?"
Lu Chongfeng was stunned.
Wei Yuanyang was also stunned.
Lu Chongfeng raised the corners of his lips.
Liang Xin is protecting her!
Wei Yuanyang looked at Yu Honghong and said, "Don't get me wrong, this is how we get along. There is no such thing as politeness or impoliteness."
Yu Honghong said "Oh" and stood beside Wei Yuanyang without moving.
The family members who were cutting wild vegetables on the ground were watching silently.
Li Mao couldn't help but ask, "Officer Xie is not at home?"
Yu Honghong subconsciously glanced at Wei Yuanyang and said with a smile, "He has been transferred to another company. My dad said that he always causes trouble at the division headquarters. Commander Yang, please transfer him away. Calm down."
"Why don't you want this piece?"
Liang Xin pointed to the remaining shepherd's purse in a large patch and asked Lu Chongfeng. After asking, she squatted down to pull it out, but Lu Chongfeng held her elbow and stopped her from squatting down. "You stand and command, I'll do it. This leaf is all yellow. Do you want more?"
"If we pick off the yellow leaves, won't all that's left be green leaves?"
"Okay, I'll listen to the leader."
After taking the initiative several times, Wei Yuanyang did not move forward. Holding the sickle and dung basket, he walked to a wild vegetable bush where he could see Liang Xin in the corner of his eye, and squatted down to cut grass for the pigs.
“Have you bought the yellow croaker?”
"......No."
Seeing Wei Yuanyang through the telescope, Lu Chongfeng ran over immediately after finishing his training.
Sure enough, this kid had bad intentions and was waiting here for Liang Xin.
"I'll finish cutting it for you later, and then go to the service center to buy it."
"Liang Xin, this piece of shepherd's purse is almost done." Xia Xia was carrying a basket full of shepherd's purse. "I'm going to get some more dandelions to make dumplings tonight. Do you want some?"
"If they take all, they'll be gone." Zhong Xuelian also cut a basket of shepherd's purse. "We'll pack them all and give some to them."
Liang Xin nodded, "Okay, I'll trade you guys for the spring rolls."
"Comrade Liang Xin!"
Downhill from the poplar forest, another shout was heard.
Wei Yuanyang was the first to notice that it was the director of the logistics department. He immediately stood up and saluted, "Hello, Chief!"
Director Wu glanced at Wei Yuanyang, who looked like a leader. He then looked at Liang Xin with a different expression, saying with a flattering smile, "Director Liang, I've been looking for you everywhere. Please come and help me!"
Wei Yuanyang was stunned at first when he saw the logistics chief's attitude towards Liang Xin.
Then he remembered that Liang Xin is now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and he heard the logistics chief addressing Liang Xin again.
Director Liang?
Liang Xin became the factory director?
Wei Yuanyang was completely stunned.
Liang Xin pulled out a piece of straw and put it in her mouth to chew. Her attitude was neither enthusiastic nor cold. "What's the emergency?"
"The bread you sent us yesterday happened to coincide with the leaders from the headquarters coming to inspect, so we took the bread as a midnight snack." Director Wu clapped his hands, "I didn't expect that the leaders from the headquarters would be full of praise for the bread made by the bakery! They hinted to us this morning that they wanted to taste the bread again. Hurry up, help us and make another batch!"
Xia Xia, Li Mao, Zhong Xuelian and Wang Daya all stood up with surprise on their faces.
Liang Xin said slowly: "The bakery is closed today."
Director Wu said "Oh!", walked up to Liang Xin, and whispered, "Comrade Liang Xin, this time it's Deputy Minister Liu who came from the logistics headquarters. This is not only related to our division, but also to the first batch of mobile funds for the entire base. In fact, the reason why I temporarily let the bakery operate for a week is because I was busy receiving leaders from the headquarters. I was so busy that half of my hair turned white. This is the first time they took the initiative to ask what they want to eat. Comrade Liang Xin, Deputy Minister Liu has the authority to allocate at least 200,000 mobile funds. If it can be allocated smoothly, your bakery will be the first to make a contribution!"
Wei Yuanyang looked at Liang Xin with a confused look on his face.
How could Liang Xin become so important after arriving at the 11th Division?
"What kind of relatives are you?" Yu Honghong suddenly asked, "Liang Xin is a great hero of our 11th Division. The military newspaper has published headlines about her saving lives for so many days, and you didn't even know she was your relative, Liang Xin?"
Wei Yuanyang frowned, ".......In the recruit company, all I do is sleep and train. I haven't read a newspaper for a long time."
"It's okay. You'll know after watching more." Yu Honghong said in a friendly tone, "Liang Xin and I are very familiar with each other. Even my father has praised this relative of yours. Soon, the creative classes of the film studio and the art troupe will come to the 11th Division. When the works are put on stage, you will know how amazing Liang Xin is."
Wei Yuanyang's reaction was not as Yu Honghong had expected, not becoming closer to her. Instead, he looked as if struck by lightning, and watched Liang Xin walk away with a look of shock in his eyes.
Liang Xin walked all the way back to the camp, and the logistics director was almost patting her shoulder and pouring her tea, and he said a lot of nice things to Liang Xin.
Liang Xin finally gave in. "Bread needs to be fermented several times, which takes at least half a day. It won't be ready in time for breakfast."
"I'm sure they will understand this." Director Wu of the Logistics Department said hurriedly, "It's still in time to use it for lunch."
"Okay then, we won't plant vegetables today." Liang Xin handed the sickle to Lu Chongfeng, "Although we are not on the payroll and don't get paid, we are family members, and family members are also considered logistics personnel. We have to help out."
Xia Xia and Li Mao lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter.
"Don't worry, as soon as the headquarter leader leaves, I will go to the bakery to arrange your salary!"
Director Wu finally gave in and promised, "I've seen everything your bakery does. Even the 11th and 3rd Regiments, which are miles away from the division, can't help but come over to buy some cakes after seeing the egg cakes Section Chief Lu brings over. There are quite a few repeat customers. I know everything!"
Liang Xin was stunned and looked at Lu Chongfeng in surprise.
I knew that people from the other two groups would come to buy snacks because I heard about it.
But no one knew that the news was actually spread by Lu Chongfeng.
Lu Chongfeng walked towards the service center, "I'm going to buy some yellow croaker and go home to cook."
"Chief Lu..." Xia Xia nodded in affirmation, "That's great!"
"Not only good, where can you find such a good man?" Li Mao's face was still full of surprise. "He did a good thing for his wife, but he didn't say a word. Liang Xin, we are lucky to have you again."
Liang Xin said, "You guys knead the dough, and I'll pick the shepherd's purse."
"Isn't this important?" Xia Xia turned on the faucet to wash her hands. "Isn't it related to a large sum of money? What if the taste is not right?"
"Just do it right."
At this moment, the four people in the bakery admired Liang Xin even more from the bottom of their hearts.
Facing the leaders of the reception headquarters, Director Wu of the logistics department had half his hair turned white, but Liang Xin remained calm and treated everything as normal, and did not even bother to sell it to other family members.
Liang Xin leaned against the door of the bakery, watched Lu Chongfeng walk out of the service center carrying yellow croaker, and waved to him.
Lu Chongfeng grabbed a handful of hair and slowly turned around, "I'm going home to cook."
Liang Xin took the shepherd's purse basket from his hand and asked, "Why are you shy?"
"Who's shy?"
Lu Chongfeng straightened his back and asked, "I know that?"
Liang Xin chuckled, "I'll make shepherd's purse spring rolls, shepherd's purse fried rice cakes, and shepherd's purse and yellow croaker soup for you at noon... I'll only make them for you, okay?"
