Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Don’t you miss me?
Liang Xin did not tell Lu Chongfeng about her career plan in detail.
I just told him that I wanted to return to the 11th Division after graduation.
After Lu Chongfeng got off work and went to the mail room to get the letter, he looked at the 11th Division and thought for a long time. Could it be that Liang Xin was planning to join the army?
He wrote down this question and asked Liang Xin.
I got the braised pork broth and two corn buns from the cafeteria and took them home to make some for Xiaoju and Xiaobai.
He also wrote to Liang Xin about the ups and downs of the daily fights between Xiaobai and Xiaoju.
A large-scale discussion on "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth" was launched on university campuses across the country.
The discussion at Jiangjing University was also in full swing.
Liang Xin could hear her classmates' heated arguments wherever she went, but she was too lazy to join in.
Therefore, her classmates also said that she was rational and clear-headed.
After class, Liang Xin rode her bicycle to Jiangjing Agricultural University to find Lu Wei and give her some food coupons.
Passing the must-go Jiangjun Bridge, before getting on the bridge, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from under the bridge.
The voice trembled with fear, as if it was under some kind of coercion.
Liang Xin frowned, pulled the handbrake, supported herself with one foot, got off the bike and pushed it towards the bridge, frowning, "What do you want to do!"
Two men wearing green military jackets and green military caps under the bridge hurriedly turned around and were startled when they saw Liang Xin's face. Then the panic on their faces faded away and they became serious.
"Little comrade, don't get me wrong. We are from the military compound. This person owed us money and refused to pay it back for a long time. We are here to ask her to pay it back."
Liang Xin looked at the female comrades huddled by the bridge. "Military compound? Which one? Why have I never seen you before?"
The two men's serious expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at each other and then at Liang Xin.
The man wearing a military cap asked back: "Where are you from? Why have I never seen you before?"
Liang Xin suddenly looked at the trembling female comrade and said, "Qian Shuyao? The teacher and classmates are looking for you everywhere. Why are you not going to class? What are you doing here?"
The female comrade who had been burying her head suddenly looked up and saw that it was Liang Xin. After being shocked, she immediately staggered to her feet with the help of the bridge tunnel behind her and ran uphill.
Seeing this, the two male comrades wanted to reach out and grab it.
Liang Xin suddenly rang the bicycle bell, startling the two of them.
The two men stopped for a moment and missed the opportunity to catch Qian Shuyao.
Qian Shuyao hid behind Liang Xin and looked at the two men under the bridge with fear.
Liang Xin looked at her and said, "Button it up."
Qian Shuyao looked down at his collar button, his face turned pale, and he buttoned his shirt in a panic.
After the two men reacted, they immediately followed and walked uphill.
Liang Xin suddenly waved to several people riding bicycles in the distance, "Teacher Lin, Qian Shuyao is over here!"
The two men under the bridge took a look at the group of bicycles in the distance, their faces changed, they stopped and retreated back to where they were.
Just as I stood firm, I heard the sound of shutter clicks.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Liang Xin put away the camera she was carrying and said, "Our teacher and classmates are already here. If we don't leave now, will we be embarrassed when we return to the military compound?"
The two men were stunned and looked at each other, while nervously looking at the camera in Liang Xin's hand, but they were even more nervous about the cyclist team that was obviously approaching.
Seeing that the cycling team was approaching, the man in the green military jacket pulled the man in the hat and ran under the bridge.
Liang Xin patted the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Get on first."
Qian Shuyao got into the car in a panic.
Liang Xin rode her bicycle out.
The bicycle team following behind were all 28-inch bicycles, and they soon surpassed Liang Xin's women's bicycle.
Qian Shuyao was stunned for a moment as he looked at the cycling team going away.
Not the teachers and classmates in school.
Liang Xin did not go to the Agricultural University. Instead, he rode along the Jiangjun Bridge back to the gate of the military compound and stopped the bike.
"It's safe here. You can go to the bus stop in front and take the bus back."
Qian Shuyao looked at the serious guards at the gate of the compound, swallowed, and was surprised that Yu Liangxin didn't ask anything, "...Thank you."
Liang Xin was pushing her bicycle into the compound when she heard Qian Shuyao calling her. She stopped and turned back.
Qian Shuyao grabbed the shoulder strap of her messenger bag and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I don't owe them money."
Liang Xin looked at the guards who were close at hand, turned the bicycle around and pushed it in front of Qian Shuyao.
Qian Shuyao looked embarrassed to speak, "...I, I am the descendant of a capitalist."
Liang Xin's expression was normal and she was very calm.
Qian Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief. "They were threatening me and asking me for money, but they didn't do anything to me."
Liang Xin nodded, "That's good."
Qian Shuyao didn't know what to say.
Liang Xin said: "If you encounter something like this again in the future, you can call the police."
Qian Shuyao's face turned bitter. "I'm a bastard. How can the police control someone like me?"
Liang Xin said: "The people's court has been restored. If the police really judge people based on their background and fail to enforce the law impartially, you can sue them."
Qian Shuyao was surprised: "People's Court?"
Liang Xin nodded, "Everyone is equal before the law."
Qian Shuyao clenched his fists, with surprise and joy mixed on his face, "Thank you, Liang Xin."
Liang Xin thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know those two people? Are they really from the military compound?"
Qian Shuyao shook his head. "I don't know where they are from, but even if they are not from the military compound, they must be related to the military. Otherwise, how could ordinary people wear old military uniforms and caps? So, someone like me can't afford to offend them. There is no other way except to hide and endure."
In this era, a green military uniform and a green hat can make one shine among the ordinary class.
It is indeed an existence that the "landlords, rich peasants, counter-revolutionaries and bad elements" dare not resist.
"Your family's property should have been confiscated?"
Liang Xin looked at Qian Shuyao and asked, "Why did they ask you for money?"
Qian Shuyao said: "They know that I went to college and I get a 15 yuan subsidy every month."
"You didn't know them before?"
“I don’t know him.”
"Since you've gone to college, that means there's nothing wrong with your political review." Liang Xin said, "If he bullies you again, go to the police and report them. If necessary, I can be a witness for you, and the photos in my camera can also be used as evidence."
Qian Shuyao's eyes slowly filled with tears, but she held back for a long time, not letting the tears fall. "Thank you, Liang Xin, you are worthy of being a hero."
Liang Xin watched Qian Shuyao get on the bus and ride the study bike back home.
"Liang Xin is back, why are you so late today?"
Hu Fenglian walked out of the room. "Are you hungry? I made some red dates and white fungus soup. Let me fill your stomach first."
Liang Xin came back late, just in time for Chief Lu to get off work.
Lu Heping, who lived in the school dormitory, did not come back.
Lu Yueji is back.
At the dinner table, Liang Xin told what happened in the evening.
Chief Lu slammed the table and said, "Give me the camera, Xiao Wei, and have someone develop the photos now!"
Liang Xin handed the camera to the guard Xiao Wei, "He may not be from the compound."
"Yes, the city is in a mess right now, and everywhere is crowded with people."
Hu Fenglian shook her head and said, "Millions of educated youth returned to the city, with no place to live, no jobs, and no chance of getting into college. They had no money, no food, and no drink. Their minds would be crooked."
"In addition to the educated youth who returned to the city, why do I seem to have seen several people who joined the army return?"
Lu Yueji looked at her parents curiously, "They were doing well in the army, but suddenly some of them were demobilized, some were discharged, some were demobilized, and some were demobilized. What are they doing here?"
Chief Lu snorted coldly.
Hu Fenglian's face changed, and she asked alertly, "Is there going to be a war?"
Lu Yueji uttered an “Ah!” and dropped the spoon she had just picked up into the bowl. “No wonder! Are they still soldiers? Why didn’t they prepare for war when it was time to fight? Why did they all run away from the army!”
"Shut up."
Hu Fenglian looked at her daughter sternly, "Don't say that again when you get out of here!"
Lu Yueji covered her mouth and looked at Liang Xin.
There was no expression on Liang Xin's face.
Ten years ago, cadres were demoted to lower-level areas, and in order to protect their children, they used their connections to get their children into the army.
The purpose is to protect the safety of the children. If a war is about to break out, there will always be people with connections who can hear the news in advance and bring the children back.
“It is only when you compare yourself to others that you realize how different people are from each other!”
After hearing what Lu Yueji said, Liang Xin returned to the 11th Division during his vacation and saw Lu Chongfeng, and he had a deeper understanding of it.
Lu Chongfeng took the initiative to apply for a transfer to the 22nd Regiment as deputy regiment commander, and concurrently served as training team leader of the pre-war armed training brigade, ready to receive orders to go to the front line at any time.
Pushing open the black wooden door that he hadn't seen for half a year, Xiaoju let out a "meow" and ran over quickly, rubbing against Liang Xin's legs.
Liang Xin squatted down and touched Xiaoju's head. Xiaoju turned over and rubbed against Liang Xin's palm, which was more intimate than ever before.
Lu Chongfeng walked into the room carrying Liang Xin's luggage. Xiaobai followed in from behind, raised his front feet and was about to lie on Liang Xin, but Lu Chongfeng grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him aside.
Liang Xin stood up and looked back at the lean and strong Xiaobai, "Why does Xiaobai seem... more mature and stronger?"
"It's been wrecking havoc at home all day, and it's full of energy." Lu Chongfeng put his luggage on the ground, "I'll take it to the field for training."
"...As a military dog?"
"He is very stupid, with only brute strength but no brains. He cannot be a military dog."
"Woof!"
Xiaobai understood, crawled on the ground, and barked at Lu Chongfeng repeatedly, making low sounds to scare Lu Chongfeng.
Liang Xin walked up and touched Xiaobai's head, and Xiaobai's "woof" suddenly took a different turn and became coquettish.
Lu Chongfeng: "Stupid dog, sissy!"
As he said that, he put Xiaobai on a rope and led him to the backyard.
Liang Xin followed and went over to wash her hands.
As soon as she finished applying the soap, Lu Chongfeng hugged her from behind.
Li Mao's voice suddenly came from the wall: "Liang Xin is back?!"
Lu Chongfeng's body stiffened and he slowly loosened his hand.
Li Mao had already seen the two people's posture, and he lay on the wall in a daze, "I'm sorry, I was too excited, but I can understand Lu Chongfeng, you just pretend I don't exist, Liang Xin, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were back, so that I could make dumplings to welcome you!"
Liang Xin smiled and looked up, taking the towel handed over by Lu Chongfeng, "I didn't tell you in advance because I didn't want to tire you out."
"Why bother making dumplings? I estimated the time and knew you would be back around this time. It was so hot that I didn't go to buy meat in advance, but I saved all the meat tickets for this month for you!"
Seeing Li Mao lying on the wall in the hot sun, Liang Xin waved at her and said, "Come sit at home, don't get a heat stroke."
Lu Chongfeng took the watermelon that had been chilled with well water, cut it into pieces, put it on an enamel tray and brought it to the living room.
We were taking a break at noon when Xia Xia, Wang Daya and Zhong Xuelian all came running over.
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
Liang Xin took the watermelon and distributed it to everyone, and finally gave a piece to Lu Chongfeng.
Lu Chongfeng first picked out a piece of the middle part that looked sweet and gave it to Liang Xin, then took the watermelon from her hand.
"You've been gone for half a year, and a lot of things have happened." Li Mao held up a palm leaf fan, "Jiangkou was selected as a model city for military-civilian integration, and Doctor Liao and Deputy Commander Zhu divorced, but it wasn't an easy divorce."
Liang Xin took a bite of the sweet watermelon and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It wasn't that difficult." Zhong Xuelian said, "At first, Deputy Division Commander Zhu really didn't want to divorce, but Doctor Liao had to give in a few steps in order to get a divorce. With the help of the division leaders, he finally agreed to the divorce."
Li Mao nodded. "Anyway, it took a month or two before we divorced."
"It's better to get divorced."
Liang Xin said, "After a year of smoking, Dr. Liao has gotten rid of a lot of anger."
"That's right, otherwise Dr. Liao wouldn't have been able to bear this and let him go."
Xia Xia whispered, "However, the division headquarters has been investigating this matter for a long time. Even if Dr. Liao didn't say anything, it would be impossible for Deputy Division Commander Zhu to leave the army so easily. At most, he was spared from prison due to Dr. Liao's concession."
Liang Xin suddenly smiled, "Sister-in-law speaks very cultured now."
Xia Xia blushed, "You're a college student and you say I'm educated!"
"Teacher Yang is now helping my sister-in-law review every night." Li Mao said with a smile, "He even bought a radio for my sister-in-law so that she can learn English by listening to the English lectures on the People's Broadcasting Station. He said he would send her to the county town to study at the TV University."
Liang Xin smiled and asked, "What do you plan to learn, sister-in-law?"
"It's still early."
Xia Xia blushed and said, "I have a low level of education and have just started learning English from ABC. I don't know when I will be able to master it, and even if I learn it, I don't know when I will be able to pass the exam."
"It's normal. Many students in university also start learning English from ABC."
Liang Xin asked about the bakery again.
More and more family members came to see what Liang Xin had become after going to college.
Lu Chongfeng sat on the chair, lowered his head and spit out watermelon seeds.
Everything in the bakery is going on as usual, with no change in daily sales; the bakeries are quickly sold out once they are served.
After they finished eating the watermelon and drank a pot of herbal tea, it was time to go back to work in the afternoon, and the family members left.
But Lu Chongfeng also has to go to work.
Lu Chongfeng slammed the door shut and walked into the long hall with a sullen face.
Liang Xin looked at his expression and couldn't help laughing. She walked over and kissed his face. "You go and do your work first. I'll tidy up at home. There's still one or two months for summer vacation."
Lu Chongfeng touched his face and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I just ate too much watermelon."
Liang Xin looked at the kitchen and said, "Besides, we're already home. If I'm hungry, I can just cook something for myself."
Lu Chongfeng looked at the Sanwu brand wall clock on the low cabinet, grabbed Liang Xin's wrist, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, let go and took a step back, "The pre-war training is very intense, I'll go first."
Liang Xin nodded.
From the long hall, rooms, study, kitchen to the bathroom, everything is spotless and things are neatly arranged. It doesn't look like a temporary cleanup. It is the result of long-term hygiene habits and cherishment for this home that can make it so clean.
Liang Xin took a quick shower and went to the logistics office.
Director Wu of the Logistics Department was stunned when he saw Liang Xin coming, and then he asked in surprise: "Comrade Liang Xin is back?"
"Long time no see, Director Wu."
Liang Xin sat down and got straight to the point: "I'm here to look for information on the farms at the base."
"farm?"
Director Wu was surprised and asked, "What do you want this information for?"
Liang Xin asked, "The farm shouldn't involve military secrets?"
"No, the farm is just like the production team in the commune. There are no secrets."
Director Wu sat down and asked, "I'm just curious, why do you suddenly want to see the farm?"
"Most of the research groups in our class chose to go to the countryside for research." Liang Xin said with a smile: "I stayed in the 11th Division during the summer vacation. I thought there were several farms in the base, so I didn't want to go to the commune to do research like others."
"Okay, if it helps you study, I'll go find some information for you now."
Director Wu went to the logistics information room and brought back a pile of information. "These are not important materials. The weather is hot, you can take them home and read them."
"Thank you, Director Wu."
Liang Xin picked up a thick stack of information and said, "Director, can I go in and take a look at these farms in person?"
Director Wu was stunned again. "Okay, you are a military dependent, there is nothing you can't go to, but many farms are not as good as the production fields of Xiahe Brigade. What are you going to do in the wilderness? Oh, to study, right?"
Liang Xin smiled slightly and nodded.
"Section Chief Lu... Now he's called Deputy Regiment Chief Lu." Director Wu said with a smile, "They often go to the farm for field training. If you want to go there one day, you can follow their command vehicle. It shouldn't affect your work."
Liang Xin thanked him again, thought for a moment and said, "Director Wu, the war is about to start. I have a friend who is a student at the Agricultural University. I have studied foreign military rations with her. Is it possible for the logistics department to approve some money for our bakery? I want to buy some equipment to make new compressed biscuits."
"Appropriation? Comrade Liang Xin, the base has no money, let alone the 11th Division."
After Director Wu finished complaining about his poverty with a bitter face, he said, "But the new type of compressed biscuits you just mentioned... have you ever experimented with them?"
Liang Xin thought about it and nodded. "I have done several experiments in the research and development room of the Agricultural University. Compared with the compressed biscuits developed 20 years ago, they can keep people from being hungry for a longer time. If the 11th Division really can't afford to introduce them, I can hand over the formula and let the military district food factory or local food factory produce them as soon as possible to prepare for the war."
Director Wu of the Logistics Department kept tapping the table with his fingers. "Comrade Liang Xin, I know what you mean. You could have handed the formula directly to the military compound in Jiangjing, but you didn't. You went back to the 11th Division to ask me first. I am really touched. So, you go back and wait for a day. I will leave now to find the head of the logistics department of the base, and I will give you news tomorrow."
Director Wu is a smart man. Liang Xin thought it was a great achievement, so she said nothing more and left with the information.
In one afternoon, Liang Xin finished reading all the information about the base farm.
Military farms can be summed up in one word: poor.
It is even poorer than some commune production teams.
The reason for poverty is that the mechanical area only reaches 20%.
Over the past ten years, the managers of the farm have basically been suspended and transferred cadres, who have been growing crops in an orderly manner to supply several factories on the base.
There is no production sideline.
The daily necessities needs of soldiers and their families still have to be met by local authorities.
Lu Chongfeng rushed home before dark and saw the coffee table in the living room filled with open books. He looked at Liang Xin in the book and a smile immediately appeared in his eyes. "Why don't you take a rest during the holiday? You are still reading here. Have you eaten in the afternoon?"
"In the evening, Li Mao sent over dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions."
Liang Xin sorted out all the information and said, "The grass carp in the kitchen has been killed. I will wait for you to come back and then start cooking to make grass carp stewed with vermicelli."
"If you're not home, I'll be back even later."
Lu Chongfeng put the hat on the hanger and walked towards Liang Xin. "I'm alone when I come back. I'm not used to it at all."
Liang Xin looked at him. "It's been a semester, and you're still not used to it?"
Lu Chongfeng picked up Liang Xin, turned around and sat on the sofa, then held Liang Xin on his lap and said, "I'm not used to it."
Liang Xin glanced at the bolt and made sure it was locked before she fell into his arms and sniffed the soapy scent with steam. The familiar smell made her relax. She played with the discipline button on his throat and asked, "Are you still going to train tonight?"
"Leave it to Captain Shen to lead the team for training in the evening."
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, then lowered his head and looked at her face carefully, "You've lost weight."
"Mom and Xiaoshi cook different kinds of meals for us three times a day, but I'm not only not losing weight, I'm getting fatter..."
Lu Chongfeng's lips suddenly pressed down.
Kiss her violently.
Liang Xin hugged him.
Lu Chongfeng put his hand under Liang Xin's shirt, stroked it gently, and measured it with his five fingers spread out.
Liang Xin felt itchy from his touch and left his lips.
The measuring hand slid behind her waist, moved up to hold her back, and pushed her back.
The hot breath entangled with her tongue tip, and Liang Xin's face gradually became radiant.
I opened my eyes and looked at him. His long drooping eyelashes looked like two feather fans. I couldn't help but raise my fingers and press the small mole under his left eye.
The tip of her tongue was bitten lightly, as if accusing her of inattention, and Liang Xin smiled softly while holding his lips.
Lu Chongfeng was breathing heavily, his black eyes were even more brilliant than her face, making his whole face exude a sense of indulgence and lust.
But he hasn't done anything yet.
"You don't miss me?"
Liang Xin leaned forward, kissed the small mole under his eye, and rubbed it with the tip of her teeth. Sitting on Lu Chongfeng, he could clearly feel the moment she rubbed her teeth, and his whole body trembled. "Guess."
"A short absence is as good as a new marriage."
Lu Chongfeng looked at Liang Xin, "Could it be that it's been too long?"
“.......”
Liang Xin pressed her finger against his lips and said, "I'm hungry."
Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin tightly, buried his head in her shoulders for a long time to calm down, and then stood up holding Liang Xin, "I'm going to make grass carp vermicelli."
Liang Xin pressed his chest and whispered in his ear, "I missed you so much."
Lu Chongfeng's five fingers instantly sank into Liang Xin's bones. He resisted the urge to tear open Liang Xin's shirt and said with heavy breathing, "I'll go cook for you first."
Liang Xin deliberately slid down his legs.
While sliding down, Lu Chongfeng slowly clenched his hands into fists.
He looked up at Liang Xin who was standing up, her white shirt sticking to her graceful and soft curves, her pink lips had just been kissed by her, and her pair of slender eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water, delicate and timid.
He never knew that the white shirt worn by everyone in the military camp would be so seductive on Liang Xin.
Liang Xin went to the kitchen and asked, "Besides the grass carp rice noodle soup, what else do you want to eat?"
As he passed the door of the room, his feet were suddenly lifted off the ground and he was picked up by the waist.
The door of the room was also kicked shut with a bang.
