Chapter 30
After finishing the training, Li Nianhe returned home and conveyed Captain Cheng's order to his wife. The more Cheng Hehua listened, the more frightened she became.
Oh no, Captain Cheng really has something against me!
"Nianhe, do you think that I used Captain Cheng's name to fool your mother last time, and he has been unable to get over it, so he is just waiting for a chance to give me a beating." Cheng Hehua's cute round face instantly turned into a bitter one. She had left a bad impression on her man's superior!
This is so embarrassing, what should I do?
"Not really." Li Nianhe patted his wife's back and sat down with her. After sending his mother back to the troops, he explained to Captain Cheng again, "Captain Cheng said he doesn't mind, but you still have to be careful in the future."
"Maybe he is just a smiling tiger." Cheng Hehua said aggrievedly, with a bit of melancholy, "Look, you told me not to meddle in other people's affairs, what does that mean? Do you think I am too talkative and nosy? And you told me to improve myself and actively learn and make progress, which clearly means that my current thinking is backward and not positive."
It’s over, it’s over. How come I gave people this impression?
"Then go and learn. It's a good thing to learn more words." Li Nianhe didn't take it seriously. He thought his wife was overthinking it, so he stood up and prepared to go out for a walk.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Cheng Hehua pulled her man back and made him sit down at the table. "Do you think this is just my business? I think so. Captain Cheng said I am secondary. He mainly wants to give you some advice."
"Me?" Li Nianhe frowned and looked at He Hua, puzzled, "Isn't it you? What does it have to do with me?"
"Think about it, when Captain Cheng suddenly told you this, it seemed like he was talking to me, asking me to learn and improve. Maybe it's not appropriate to say it directly to you, so he's telling you something through me. We're a family, so whose progress is not progress?"
"ah???"
"How do you usually behave in front of Captain Cheng?"
"It's OK."
Cheng Hehua thought her man was stupid. "It's OK, but it's not OK! You need to let Captain Cheng praise you, saying that you are good and excellent! This time, Captain Cheng's intention is definitely to let you, along with me, learn more and make progress."
Li Nianhe gradually figured out some of the tricks from his wife's explanation. He slapped his thigh and said, "It seems to be the case!"
“Is that so?”
"Let's learn and improve together!"
Li Nianhe was now burning with a passion for learning, but just as he took out a book from the room to read it, he saw his wife was about to go out.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Cheng Hehua kept walking and said, "I'm going to look for Sister Lulu. Team Leader Cheng is so scary. I have to persuade her again."
"What did you advise her to do?"
The one who answered Li Nianhe was Cheng Hehua, who hurried away with the hem of her clothes dancing in the air.
——
"Sister Lulu, I can't introduce you to anyone." Cheng Hehua was a little sad. It was the first time she was preparing to be a matchmaker for someone, and the person she was trying to find was Comrade Jian Lu, who was beautiful and kind-hearted.
Jian Lu politely refused once before, but Cheng Hehua always felt that she was wasting her time on Cheng Zheng and hoped that she would be more sober. Unexpectedly, she actually backed out now.
"Really?" Jian Lu naturally understood that Comrade Cheng Hehua was thinking seriously about her. However, there was indeed no one in the entire army who was more handsome and outstanding than Cheng Zheng. Why should she give up the one who suits her heart and settle for him?
"Yeah." Cheng Hehua nodded sadly, "But you still have to be sober. Captain Cheng is very powerful and kind-hearted, but he may be a smiling tiger. You can't take him down. He said he didn't mind last time, but now he thinks I'm not motivated enough and wants me to go to the blind class to study."
Lulu is such a nice person, let’s just forget it!
Jian Lu: “...?” How can this person laugh?
However, it is good to attend the literacy class. She is worried that she can't find a suitable opportunity to become cultured.
"Sister Hehua, can I go to your blindness-eliminating class?"
Cheng Hehua looked at Jian Lu and thought she was a good comrade who was striving for progress. She held her hand and said, "It should be possible. I'll help you find out. Let's study and improve together!"
Cheng Hehua, who is now devoted to the pursuit of progress, moved quickly. Within two days, she had signed up Jian Lu for the class and asked her to go to class with her next Saturday.
A few days before the class started, Dunzi learned that Aunt Lulu was going to attend the class, and he was particularly enthusiastic and friendly and offered his own notebook to her.
"Aunt Lulu, you can use it to write."
Only a few pages of the small book were used to record Dunzi's calligraphy practice. He excitedly asked Aunt Lulu to write something as well.
Being stared at by an elementary school student, Jian Lu got carried away and almost forgot to write in the elementary school student's handwriting. Fortunately, she corrected it in time at the last moment.
"Mom, take a look, whose handwriting is better, mine or Aunt Lulu's?"
Feng Xiuhui didn't understand any of this. She looked up from her busy work of spinning wool, took a look, and chose one based on her feeling. "The one on the left."
"Oh, I lost." Dunzi was a little sad.
Jian Lu wasn't very happy either. What was there to be happy about after beating a primary school student?
On Monday, Hengheng and Dunzi went to the first grade and second grade respectively.
Most of the children in the yard had also gone, and the family yard, which used to be noisy, suddenly became much quieter.
Cui Yuhe, with her four-month-old belly, was talking to Feng Xiuhui and Jian Lu at home.
Feng Xiuhui and Jian Lu came down from the stairs with half a piece of brown sugar in their hands.
"You're pregnant, so you still need to nourish yourself more." Feng Xiuhui was also familiar with the Xu family, so she directly made her a cup of brown sugar water.
Holding the thermos, he poured a cup of water for himself and Jian Lu.
"Sister Xiuhui, I'm not going to hide it from you. My pregnancy wasn't that stressful. It was much easier than Hengheng's."
"The second child is better." Although Feng Xiuhui said she only gave birth to one child, she has seen many people who gave birth to several children.
Jian Lu took a sip of hot water, looked at Cui Yuhe's belly, and thought of Hengheng's well-behaved appearance. "Sister Yuhe, Hengheng looks quite quiet now. Was he so noisy when he was in your belly?"
Thinking back to when she was pregnant with Hengheng a few years ago, Cui Yuhe's thoughts drifted away, "That's not the case. At that time, Lao Xu and I thought we were going to have a naughty boy, but Hengheng is now very well-behaved, but too quiet, not as strong as Dunzi."
"Oh no." Feng Xiuhui swallowed the water in her mouth and complained, "Hengheng is still the best. Our Dunzi is too stubborn. He always makes me feel a headache."
This is the secret of being a parent: everyone thinks the other person's child is better. However, if you really want your children to have different personalities, you will naturally be reluctant to do so.
Jian Lu found it interesting to listen to her two sisters-in-law talking, and it was a good way to kill time. However, the topic started to lead to her.
"Once Lulu and Captain Cheng get married, they will give birth to a big fat boy." Feng Xiuhui looked at Jian Lu's pretty appearance and thought about Cheng Zheng's handsome appearance. She wondered how good-looking the baby would be!
Cui Yuhe has been bored recently because of her pregnancy. Chief of Staff Xu has been very strict with his wife and told her to get enough rest. How can she not be excited when she hears other people's gossip?
"Hey, Lulu, what's going on between you and Captain Cheng? Tell us now!"
Jian Lu looked at the two gossipy faces standing in front of her and just smiled and said, "That's it. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard."
"Hey, what's wrong with Captain Cheng?" Cui Yuhe slapped the wooden table, almost scaring Jian Lu.
She wasn't worried about the table, she was worried about the pregnant woman!
"Sister Yuhe, don't get excited. Pregnant women need to keep a good mood and don't upset the fetus."
A trace of anger appeared on Cui Yuhe's pretty face. "Captain Cheng, what a fool! The marriage is already decided, why are you still hesitating? If I were him, I would get married right away and take Lulu home. Wouldn't it be good to have a wife and children and a warm bed?"
Feng Xiuhui was not as aggressive as Cui Yuhe, so she basically agreed with what she said, "Captain Cheng keeps hesitating and refusing to agree, Lulu, don't be afraid, I'll introduce you to someone else. There aren't many other people in this army, but there are many men. With your looks, you can just find one!"
In fact, I didn't tell you that in the past few months, many military families came to inquire about you, asking if you were married or engaged, and I turned them all away. Even if Captain Cheng disagrees, I can make clear arrangements for you and will never let you go back to that miserable home."
After getting to know each other for some time, Feng Xiuhui almost treats Jian Lu as her own sister.
Cui Yuhe almost cursed Jian Hualin's eight generations of ancestors after hearing Feng Xiuhui's story about Jian Lu's family situation. "Don't worry, we are here for you."
Jian Lu almost burst into tears after hearing this. There are still many good people in this world.
"Thank you, Sister Xiuhui, Sister Yuhe."
"However, it would be best to marry Captain Cheng. Captain Cheng is perfect except for this matter." Feng Xiuhui started to praise others after she finished her harsh words. "Compare my Liang to others, he is not as good as them."
Jian Lu: "...This is inappropriate."
Cui Yuhe also smiled and echoed, "Same goes for our Lao Xu."
"My two sisters-in-law, if Political Commissar Liang and Chief of Staff Xu heard this, they would be very sad." Jian Lu teased them with a smile.
"What's the big deal? I'm telling the truth. If you ask Lao Liang to come, he'll say the same thing. Even though they often quarrel, they have a good relationship. They're friends who risked their lives on the battlefield."
Once Feng Xiuhui started talking, she couldn't stop. "Thinking back then, our old Liang almost died on the battlefield..."
"Ah?" Jian Lu's heart tightened when she heard this, "Fortunately, I'm safe and healthy now."
"Of course not. Thanks to Captain Cheng for saving him. Old Liang has said this eight hundred times."
From Feng Xiuhui's mouth, Jian Lu listened to her talk about Cheng Zheng who fought desperately in the war and survived from the gates of hell...
Cui Yuhe cracked melon seeds while listening to Feng Xiuhui's story. She concluded, "If Captain Cheng had been as steady, accurate and ruthless as he was on the battlefield, Lulu wouldn't be sitting here now. She would be sitting in the family compound that they both share."
——
Cheng Zheng, who was rejected for not being steady, accurate and ruthless enough, had just finished a day's training and returned to his single dormitory to take a shower.
After packing up, I prepared to go out to the family compound, to see Lao Liang and Dunzi.
Dressed in military uniform and looking smart and capable, Cheng Zheng closed the wooden door and met Political Commissar Wei from next door.
Political Commissar Wei is 28 years old this year and is the only bachelor in the army, along with Cheng Zheng.
He looks honest, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features are fairly regular.
However, although both are single, Political Commissar Wei enjoys a much better reputation in Brigade Song than Cheng Zheng.
After all, one is to take the initiative and fight and be defeated again and again; the other is to be passive and reject one after another.
What a different attitude!
Brigade Song encouraged Political Commissar Wei again and again and scolded Cheng Zheng!
"Captain Cheng, where are you going?" Political Commissar Wei is now in high spirits. He and his partner are just one step away from getting married, and should not be far from reporting the marriage.
The two have been in love for a few months and are now inseparable. If they hadn't planned to let the girl's family meet him, they would have been married by now.
However, after waiting for 28 years, Political Commissar Wei is not in a hurry!
He can still wait a few more months!
"Yes, go find Lao Liang."
"Hey, Captain Cheng, I'm not saying anything bad, but I'm getting married soon, why don't you hurry up?"
Although Political Commissar Wei was much less good-looking than Cheng Zheng, he was in high spirits because of good things happening to him. In addition, he was dressed neatly at the moment, so he looked energetic and refreshed.
"Remember to hand out wedding candies when the time comes." Cheng Zheng didn't respond. He just glanced at Political Commissar Wei and found that this man was indeed a little different.
He changed out of his military uniform and put on a fashionable plaid shirt with a stand-up collar, which made him look a little younger.
Political Commissar Wei noticed Cheng Zheng's gaze, his mouth stretched to the horizon, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and he stroked his plaid shirt with both hands, "How is it? Isn't he a bit handsome?!
Even though I'm not as good looking as you, as the saying goes, we men can still look good if we dress up, right?"
Cheng Zheng looked at Political Commissar Wei, who was feeling very good about himself, and nodded, "Very good."
At the beginning, they were both bachelors and unmarried at an advanced age. Political Commissar Wei looked at Cheng Zheng with a kind of revolutionary feeling of brother in distress. Now, he is about to get married, but his brother is still alone. How sad it is.
Every bit of help you can give is a plus!
"Old Cheng." Political Commissar Wei saw that there was still some time, so he had to pass on his experience. He put his hand on Cheng Zheng's shoulder and opened his heart to him.
"If you ask me, you shouldn't be so cold. You haven't been attracted by any of the lesbians who have courted you before. Don't be too picky. If you meet a good girl, just say yes."
"Yeah. I know."
"Hey, why don't you listen to advice..." Political Commissar Wei knew how Cheng Zheng would answer. He would definitely not be persuaded. He blurted out the answer, but halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
This person actually agreed today? !
This is very strange. He looked out of the corridor window and muttered, "The sun rises from the west today?"
Something is wrong. It is so wrong!
"You don't have a girl you like, do you?"
It is said that people in love have a keen sense of smell.
Cheng Zheng didn't comment, pointed outside and urged him, "If you don't go out, the date will be ruined."
“Ouch!” Political Commissar Wei slapped his thigh, not caring about others. He still cared about his own target and hurried out. After running a few steps, he turned back to look at Cheng Zheng and made a fist gesture, “When it’s time to strike, strike!”
Cheng Zheng looked at the back of Political Commissar Wei as he left in a hurry, and could only sigh. It was magical that the usually mature Political Commissar Wei acted like a young boy when talking to his partner.
The island in June was already unbearably hot. Cheng Zheng walked towards the Liang family step by step, accompanied by the setting sun that was slanting across the sky.
——
"Comrade Jian Lu, I have made up my mind. I will continue dancing."
The Liang family's house was also very lively at this time.
In the evening, Qian Jingjing suddenly showed up and asked to talk to Jian Lu alone. Feng Xiuhui looked at her warily, and then she and Political Commissar Liang took Dunzi to play downstairs.
Jian Lu didn't expect that this silly cannon fodder female supporting role would wake up so quickly. She is really teachable!
However, Qian Jingjing was still a little arrogant and completely forgot how she praised Jian Lu in front of Dong Jing.
"But it has nothing to do with you. I figured it out on my own."
"Oh, that's good too." Jian Lu didn't care about this and just encouraged her, "It would be best if you can figure it out. Dance well."
"As for Captain Cheng." Qian Jingjing raised her fair little face and sat down opposite Jian Lu, "Tell me your love story so that I can give up."
Jian Lu: “…?”
How can there be such a perverted request!
"I have always longed for a free and romantic love. I hate feudal arranged marriages the most. Child marriages, family engagements, and marriages arranged by parents and matchmakers are not romantic enough. But after you said that day, I went back and thought about it. Captain Cheng is a good person and handsome, but he doesn't like me. Why did I keep chasing him? Comrade Jian Lu, tell me, how did you and him develop a romantic love? Was it you who took the initiative to bring up the engagement or was it him? He is such a taciturn person, he probably wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative."
Jian Lu pursed her lips and avoided his gaze. What does this mean?
She hasn't conquered Cheng Zheng yet. Forget about romantic love. She and Cheng Zheng have nothing to do with romance or love.
"If I say that ours is the most feudal and traditional arranged marriage, would you believe it?"
Qian Jingjing: “...!!!”
"You guys are actually following the feudal tradition to arrange this?" Qian Jingjing's eyes almost popped out, but then she thought, "Captain Cheng actually agreed, that's very romantic."
Jian Lu couldn't figure out her train of thought. Was this girl too good at imagining things? "No, I've been here for a few months, and Captain Cheng hasn't relented yet. Now I'm like a bully who wants to rob a decent woman. The only difference is that I have a guilty conscience and am still waiting for his nod."
"That's too much!" Qian Jingjing's pretty face wrinkled and she clenched her right hand into a fist. "Since he didn't say he wanted to cancel the engagement, why don't you acknowledge it? The great leader once said that any relationship that is not for the purpose of marriage is just hooliganism. Your situation is similar.
Comrade Jian Lu, are you too thin-skinned? Our comrades have said that a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man, and vice versa, a strong man is also afraid of a clinging woman. You should be brave enough to take the initiative. "
Jian Lu was speechless as she looked at the girl. She felt that she didn't seem to have any persuasive power. She had been pestering Cheng Zheng for a year or two, but it was all in vain!
"Yes, I failed. Now the fire of revolution has been passed to you!" Qian Jingjing had forgotten everything about the past at this moment and was enthusiastically giving Jian Lu advice. She just didn't believe that no one could defeat Cheng Zheng!
Jian Lu was brainwashed by Qian Jingjing. She suspected that this girl was pinning all her hopes on her to do what she didn't dare to do to Cheng Zheng.
How about pretending to fall into his arms after a chance encounter, or having him carry her to the sanitation center after suffering from heat stroke...
Well, I've read a lot of romance novels secretly.
"Just give it a try anyway." Qian Jingjing said with a dry mouth. It turns out that letting go is so easy!
"I know, I know. Counselor Qian, please have some melon seeds and peanuts."
Hearing this title, Qian Jingjing puffed out her chest and felt like a sacred hat was being worn on her head.
"Aren't you worried about you coming over home?" Qian Jingjing cracked melon seeds and chatted casually with Jian Lu.
"Worried?" Jian Lu started talking. Jian told Qian Jingjing about the situation of the Jian family, which made Qian Jingjing very excited.
"Is your father a human being?" Qian Jingjing had lived a wealthy life since she was a child, and her family was full of people who loved her. She never expected Comrade Jian Lu to be so miserable. She held Jian Lu's hand with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Comrade Jian Lu, I wanted to come to you to trouble you the other day."
Without waiting for Jian Lu to react, Qian Jingjing took out a few bills from her pocket, estimated to be about three or five yuan, as well as two cloth coupons and a meat coupon, and stuffed them all into Jian Lu's hands.
"Take it. It's not easy for you. Don't let yourself down in the future."
I remember that in the original book, Qian Jingjing heard the tragic life story fabricated by her fake sister Dong Jing, and she was very open with her heart, but was hated by her instead, and was instigated by her step by step towards tragedy.
Why doesn't this person have a little more time to think?!
However, when she looked up and saw Qian Jingjing's watery almond eyes and her sincere expression as she tried to give her something, Jian Lu's heart softened. This was probably the kindness that had never been worn away in her.
"I don't want the things anymore. I appreciate your kindness. Thank you, Jingjing."
"Okay, then you can tell me if you have any difficulties." Qian Jingjing didn't force it. She took back the money and receipts and invited Jian Lu to go out and play. "Would you like to come to our military region in the future? You can come and watch when there is a cultural performance."
"Sure, but not right now."
"What's up?"
"Well, I'm waiting in line to see if I can get a job." The words "living off the fat of the earth" are too heartbreaking. Jian Lu doesn't spend much, but she takes the initiative to pay five yuan for Feng Xiuhui's food every month. She can't just spend without earning.
Last time, I asked Feng Xiuhui to find a job for me. I wonder if there will be a chance to grab a job.
"Work? I can help you!" Qian Jingjing felt that she finally had a place to use her skills. "My aunt can arrange this! My aunt is the wife of the brigade commander of Captain Cheng, you know that, right?"
——
Cheng Zheng strode to the Liang family, with three military cloth coupons in his trouser pockets, a total of eight feet. He said he would give them to Comrade Jian Lu that day, but after returning from the county, he was busy again and didn't find time for a week. He only delivered the cloth coupons today.
When I walked downstairs to the family compound, I saw Dunzi and Hengheng playing hide-and-seek with a group of other kids. It was a sticky day, but they were not afraid of the heat and they all ran with red faces.
"Uncle Cheng." Dunzi was here to catch someone, so he took the time to distract himself and lean towards Cheng Zheng, reporting in a low voice, "Aunt Lulu is upstairs."
Cheng Zheng: "...Who asked you this?"
"Let's go play." Cheng Zheng tugged at the short hair of the stool and went upstairs.
As a result, as soon as I walked to the second floor, I ran into Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang. The two of them had just chatted at Xu Lang's house, and while chatting, they went upstairs to look for photos of the summer training that year. The two of them started by comparing who had better training results and then who was tanned more.
Liang Haisheng remembered that Xu Lang had been tanned into a black-faced monkey, and Xu Lang said that Liang Haisheng had become as black as charcoal. Neither of them would admit defeat.
"Go, go, go, I have some photos from that time upstairs, let's see who is darker."
Feng Xiuhui and Cui Yuhe standing by frowned, wondering how these two men, who were almost 30, could be so childish!
"Old Cheng!!!"
Xu Lang saw his savior at the stairwell, stepped forward and grabbed him, "Tell me, who got tanned more, me or Lao Liang, during the summer training in 1965?"
Cheng Zheng looked at the two men as if he had seen a ghost, "Is there something wrong with your brains?"
I've heard of people comparing weight-carrying running speed and shooting accuracy, but I've never seen a tanning degree comparison.
"Don't worry about that, just tell me who is darker."
"How could I remember? It was so many years ago." Cheng Zheng didn't want to pay attention to these two people.
childish!
"Hey, let's go upstairs and look at the photos!" Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang were getting excited and determined to decide the winner, so they prepared to go up to the third floor of the Liang family's house.
"Captain Cheng, don't pay any attention to them. They are just like three-year-old children." Feng Xiuhui came out of the house after hearing the noise and kept on criticizing Liang and Xu. "You are here to see Lulu, right? She is at home. By the way, Comrade Qian Jingjing is here too. They are having a good chat."
Feng Xiuhui was worried about Jian Lu, so she went upstairs on the pretext of getting something, and saw the two of them talking happily. My goodness, she had never seen such a scene before, how could a comrade who liked Director Cheng and Director Cheng's fiancée talk so happily?
Qian Jingjing is here too?
Were you having a good chat?
Cheng Zheng thought again of what Jian Lu said to Qian Jingjing on the beach, which really made him feel embarrassed.
The three grown men went upstairs, and when they arrived at the door of the Liang family's house, they ran into Qian Jingjing who was about to leave.
Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang's eyes widened suddenly. This situation was terrifying! Cheng Zheng, Jian Lu, and Qian Jingjing, what would happen if these three met directly?
"Hello, Political Commissar Liang, Chief of Staff Xu." Qian Jingjing had also met the two of them at her uncle Song Lu's house, so she greeted them politely at this moment.
"Comrade Qian Jingjing, hello, are you on vacation?"
"Well, I came to stay for a day. I have something to do."
Qian Jingjing, who used to want to show off in front of Cheng Zheng, didn't even glance at Cheng Zheng. Political Commissar Liang was quick to realize that something was wrong.
"Captain Cheng, I have something to say to you." Qian Jingjing and Liang Xu finished their conversation and then looked at Cheng Zheng.
Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang looked at each other, their eyes shining. Who would care who got tanned a few years ago at this moment?
"Do you need us to step aside?" Political Commissar Liang was very considerate.
"No need." Qian Jingjing was righteous and confident. Thinking of what happened to Comrade Jian Lu, she looked at Cheng Zheng angrily and said, "Captain Cheng, please don't be rude to Comrade Jian Lu. What needs to be decided must be decided."
After saying this, Qian Jingjing, the proud lead dancer of the cultural troupe's dance team, walked away with her head held high, swinging her two braids.
She had to ask her cousin Qian Honglian to help arrange a job for Jian Lu.
Qian Jingjing left in style, leaving Cheng Zheng confused, Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang petrified.
"Lao Liang, did I hear you right?" Xu Lang patted Liang Haisheng's arm. "Lao Cheng, is he a hooligan?"
Liang Haisheng looked at Cheng Zheng in shock, shaking his head and muttering, "Well, you kid, you actually acted like a hooligan to a girl! Tell me, did you hold Comrade Jian Lu's hand or kiss her on the lips?"
Jian Lu came out of the house after hearing the noise and said: ???
What's going on!
Cheng Zheng first saw Jian Lu coming out of the house, and then heard Liang Haisheng's words. He couldn't help but look at Jian Lu's red lips. His face was a little hot, and he said angrily, "What are you talking about!"
"Comrade Qian Jingjing just said that you were being rude to Comrade Jian Lu. We heard it right."
"That's right, Comrade Jian Lu, you've come at the right time. Tell me, did Old Cheng behave rudely towards you? Don't worry, we'll take care of it for you."
"That's right! You can speak boldly, the organization will definitely stand on your side!" After Xu Lang finished his impassioned speech, he immediately gossiped, "Did he get your hand stuck?"
Being a hooligan? Jian Lu looked at Cheng Zheng and found that his eyes were a little wandering. What was going on? He was too easily shy!
"Political Commissar Liang, Chief of Staff Xu, you must have misunderstood." Forget it, she had to rescue Captain Cheng. "Jingjing didn't mean that. We were talking earlier. She mentioned what the great leader said, that love without the purpose of marriage is hooliganism, so she said that. Captain Cheng definitely did not do anything inappropriate to me."
On the contrary, I was the one who attacked him.
I'm so ashamed.
"Ah~ Hey~" Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang sighed at the same time. They thought Cheng Zheng had finally come to his senses and knew to hold the hand of his fiancée, but what had caused all the fuss was this?
"Forget it, let's go and see who gets the darkest sun."
Liang and Xu hurried into the house to look for the photos, leaving Cheng Zheng and Jian Lu looking at each other in bewilderment in the corridor.
"Brother Cheng, why are you here?"
After Qian Jingjing's shocking remarks and Liang Haisheng and Xu Lang's instigation, Cheng Zheng realized that when he raised his eyes he was staring at Jian Lu's red lips unconsciously, and when he lowered his head he glanced at Jian Lu's white hands.
Cough cough.
"Oh, I... I brought you some cloth coupons." He took out three military cloth coupons from his trouser pocket and handed them over. Cheng Zheng explained, "I was a little busy recently, so I couldn't come over."
"You can ask Political Commissar Liang to bring it to me." Jian Lu looked at him with a smile.
This remark awakened Cheng Zheng from his dream. He had never thought about asking Liang Haisheng to bring the cloth coupons to Jian Lu.
Cheng Zheng realized what he was thinking and felt that he couldn't stay in this place.
After teasing the old cadre, Jian Lu, who knew the principle of knowing when to quit, happily accepted the offer and had no intention of being polite to him. After all, she had spent several feet of cloth coupons to make clothes for this man. "Thank you, Brother Cheng."
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll leave first." He spoke as if there were some little demons behind him who wanted to eat his flesh.
Jian Lu looked at Cheng Zheng's hurried back, smiled, and went back to the house with the cloth coupons.
......
After leaving the family compound, Cheng Zheng did not return to the single dormitory, but went straight to the office of Brigade Song of the army.
Song Lu has been busy preparing for the second half of the year's training plan and has probably not returned home yet.
Seeing Cheng Zheng suddenly appear in the office, Song Lu was a little surprised, "What's wrong? You even found yourself here."
"Brigade Commander, I'd like to ask you to help me arrange a job." Cheng Zheng raised his hand and saluted.
"Assign work?" Song Lu was now excited. Cheng Zheng had never asked him to do anything before. The sun was rising from the west today. "Who are you assigning work to?"
"As for jobs for military families, I know the supply and marketing cooperative on the island is in need of a salesperson. This position is pretty good." Being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative is a respectable job. It's very popular and relatively not that tiring. Cheng Zheng has inquired about it carefully and it's a good job.
Oh, the sales clerks are all lesbians, Song Lu came to his senses, "Are they for your fiancée?"
"Um."
Song Lufei tried hard to hold back his laughter as he looked at Cheng Zheng, resisting the urge to applaud. He never thought that Comrade Jian Lu, who was very low-key, could actually make Cheng Zheng, who never asked others for help, come to him.
"Of course you can." Song Lu was thinking, "Then let me ask you, people outside think that Comrade Jian Lu is a relative of Liang Haisheng's wife. If we arrange a job for her now, should the quota be counted on the Liang family or your Cheng family?"
Cheng Zheng looked at Song Lu, opened his thin lips slightly, and said firmly, "My home."
