"Brother, when did you come?" Su Niannian had just entered the backstage when she saw Su Jianshan coming towards her.
"Just now, sister, Cockroach and his men went to the commune and brought back two fat pigs to the canteen. Tomorrow I will bring you two bowls of pig soup. Don't eat too much for dinner." When Su Jianshan returned to Ning County, he learned that Zhang Yan had always gone against everyone's opinion and reserved a temporary worker position for him. He returned to the army as he wished, and was able to help his sister get meals and occasionally send small things to Liu Tao. His life was simply wonderful.
He pretended to go out, and Su Niannian quickly grabbed his arm and reminded him in a low voice: "Chen Niannian is outside, she is not in a good mood, you should be careful."
"I understand."
Su Jianshan later learned from Zhang Yan that speculation and profiteering was a very wrong behavior, and that Chen Niannian could be imprisoned for life for the wrong things she had done. The only sympathy he had for her gradually dissipated as he heard and saw more of her. Su Jianshan knew that he was easily deceived, so he avoided her whenever possible and simply ran away through the back door.
Su Niannian couldn't help laughing at his cute look. Her worried brother was actually like a child at heart. How could such a person bear the burden of another person's life? Su Niannian understood the difficulties between husband and wife. She hoped that Su Jianshan chose to get married because he loved her and was happy, not because of his age...
With this thought in mind, Su Niannian had a hint of sadness on her face the moment she stepped into the backstage.
A pair of hands pressed on her brows. Gao Shanyue poked her head out, her makeup still on. She smiled and joked, "Who messed with our pregnant woman?!"
"No problem." Su Niannian smiled and pulled her hand down.
After changing her clothes, Liu Tao returned and saw Su Niannian. She couldn't help but say something more: "Niannian, I saw Chen Niannian. Was it an illusion? Wasn't she demoted to the quarry because of speculation? Or was it a misunderstanding? Do I need to apologize to her? I'm always unsure about this matter. She looked at me with a suspicious look."
Gao Shanyue smiled and put her arm around Liu Tao's shoulder. "Chen Niannian came here with the leader of the garment factory. If she was released, she must have been wronged or someone really did it. If the sky falls, I will hold it up. Taozi, don't underestimate her. Wait until I change my clothes and meet Comrade Chen Niannian. I will help you clear up any misunderstandings. Don't be afraid."
Gao Shanyue had been the captain of the second team for a while and was very familiar with Liu Tao. She did what she said and went straight to the audience seats after changing her clothes.
He directly pulled Chen Niannian, who was chatting with a team member, over.
Chen Niannian was a person who was always able to judge the situation. She understood that her return from the quarry was related to Jin Chuan and the male comrade surnamed Gao. If she remembered correctly, that comrade said that he had a particularly arrogant and domineering cousin in the choreography team, and she could tell who she was with just her toes.
So when Gao Shanyue came to act as a lobbyist, Chen Niannian suppressed all her resentment in her heart. She smiled, as if the person who had just threatened Su Niannian in the corridor was not her. She still smiled and greeted everyone: "Niannian, Liu Tao, and Comrade Gao, I am communicating with the deputy captain of your team about making new clothes in the spring. If you need anything, you can come to me."
There was nothing strange in her smile.
As a salesperson in a garment factory, winning people's hearts is a necessary means. She says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. She knows that Su Niannian will not expose her.
Sure enough, the other party just lowered his eyes indifferently.
He looked aloof, as if he was too lazy to watch her performance.
Instead, it was the one named Liu Tao who carefully apologized to her. Chen Niannian smiled and said that she didn't care and that it was a blessing in disguise, otherwise she wouldn't have gone from the supply and marketing cooperative to the garment factory. Except for Jin Chuan, no one else knew the sadness, suffering and pain in it. How could these female comrades who looked glamorous on the surface understand the suffering of the lower class?
Chen Niannian moved among them with a smile, and the glance that fell on Su Niannian was like a leech attached to the bone, carrying an imperceptible resentment.
On the way back to the dormitory, Liu Tao was still immersed in excitement: "I heard that their garment factory has the idea of selling to the outside world. The styles of the clothes are very novel. A team of people has already taken action. Nian Nian, can you accompany me to go shopping in a few days?! I have collected all the cloth coupons from my parents this month, just enough to make two clothes. I feel embarrassed to go to her alone, but it’s different with you. You are her good sister..."
"no."
"What?!"
"Chen Niannian is not my good sister. She just told me that she was breaking up with me half an hour ago." Su Niannian took a deep breath and reminded Liu Tao in a friendly way: "I can tell you responsibly that she did go into the quarry. She is now a completely different person. Liu Tao, her motives for approaching us are not pure. Don't trust her too much."
"She can't just do this to cheat me out of two cloth coupons, right?!" Liu Tao muttered. She believed Gao Shanyue. Chen Niannian smiled just as sincerely just now, and even made an appointment with a team of people. If others can do it, why can't she and Su Niannian do it?
Although she had doubts in her heart, for Su Niannian's sake, Liu Tao suppressed the idea of going to the garment factory to look at clothes.
…
A week later,
The garment factory's novel clothes gradually became a trend in Ning County, and there was a tendency that they would surpass the supply and marketing cooperatives. The supply was even in short supply. The three or four female comrades who went to the garment factory to buy clothes praised Chen Niannian to bits. At the same time, a strange rumor was fermenting wildly in the art troupe.
"Have you heard?! Our Deputy Captain Su looks glamorous, but she is actually someone else's child bride. She traveled thousands of miles to the northwest with her pregnant belly just to avoid her in-laws."
"Yeah, they say her husband is old, ugly and disabled. She's like a flower stuck in cow dung. She's flirting every day. Maybe she's looking for her next boyfriend. She looks so glamorous on the outside, but she's so rotten on the inside. It's disgusting. I thought she was a good person..."
As the second team's popularity grew and many people worshipped Su Niannian like an idol, she was also met with abuse and slander from a small number of people.
Everyone likes to see a high-ranking beauty fall from the altar. Su Niannian is good at everything except her invisible husband. Everyone smelled something was wrong and started to complain about it. When Liu Tao heard about it, she almost vomited blood in anger.
Even though she argued with reason, the other party responded with one sentence: Let's take the guy out for a walk to see if he is a mule or a horse!
"..."
"You didn't see the looks on their faces. They simply said that Deputy Commander Gu was worthless. You should know that you are a military wife! You are a military wife!" Liu Tao's eyes turned red with anger!
Su Niannian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's okay. Once Gu Zhiye comes back, the problem can be solved."
Just as he finished speaking, a trembling and excited roar suddenly came from outside the choreography team dormitory: "Deputy Captain Su! Your husband is waiting for you at the entrance of the regiment, hurry up!"
“???”
Speak of the devil, here comes Gu Zhiye, and he's back so soon? !
Su Niannian's heart beat inexplicably faster. She patted Liu Tao's hand, then walked outside. When she passed by the two enthusiastic female comrades, she nodded and thanked them.
Su Niannian looked even more beautiful when she looked at her from a closer distance. The skin on her cheeks was white and translucent, as white as a peeled egg. The girl with pigtails clenched her companion's hand excitedly: "I'm dead! I'm dead! Deputy Captain Su is so beautiful! A fairy!"
The other girl with pockmarked face curled her lips and said sarcastically, "What's the use of being pretty?! Didn't you see what her husband looks like? He's a cripple..."
