Ma Huijuan was overjoyed and stared blankly at Gao Baoliang's tall figure.
Everyone says that Lin Chen is one of the most handsome men in Chayuan Village. Although they eat the same grains, he is tall and strong, and his appearance is as handsome as a movie star.
Actually, Gao Baoliang is no worse than him, and he has a good personality, always smiling at everyone, unlike Lin Chen, who always has a stern face, as if he owes him money.
Moreover, he's now a militia company commander, earning a salary like the workers. He comes from a good family; his father is a commune accountant. The Plum Blossom watch he wears costs over a hundred yuan, and you need a ration coupon to buy it—only those with connections can afford it...
At this moment, Gao Baoliang led his team around and came back this way.
Ma Huijuan stood aside, clutching the hem of her clothes, and rushed towards Gao Baoliang as he passed by.
Gao Baoliang was deep in thought, muttering to himself, seemingly lost in thought. He sensed a dark figure lunging at him, but instinctively dodged, only to see Ma Huijuan lying on the ground eating dirt.
"Ma Zhiqing, are you alright?" Gao Baoliang asked with concern.
Ma Huijuan raised her head, spat out the dirt in her mouth, and said, "It's nothing."
Don't feel too sorry for her; she can stand up on her own.
Just as she was struggling to stand up, Gao Baoliang caught a glimpse of Meng Jiao seeing Lin Qiao off out the door.
He clenched his fist nervously and deliberately said loudly, "Ma Zhiqing, there have been many thieves lately, remember to lock your door when you go to sleep at night."
Ma Huijuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart; Company Commander Gao really cared about her!
After waving goodbye to Meng Jiao, Lin Qiao walked over and asked:
"Brother Baoliang, you've led the team back and forth several times already. Is it really that serious?"
Gao Baoliang pulled his gaze away from Meng Jiao, who had already returned to her room, and chuckled, "That's right, the whole commune is in a state of panic right now. We can only patrol constantly every day to remind everyone to be careful."
After saying that, he hurriedly led his team away.
He walked quite a distance before his heartbeat returned to normal.
Oh, what a good-for-nothing he is! He's usually such a capable and carefree person, but now he's acting all coy like a girl!
He got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it!
We can't do that; we have to bravely face our own hearts!
He let the militia go first, and then returned to the educated youth settlement himself.
With renewed vigor, he entered Meng Jiao's room.
The room was small, only a little over ten square meters. His presence made the room feel even more cramped, which also surprised Meng Jiao greatly!
"Company Commander Gao, are you spreading rumors about the thief? I just heard it." She sat on the edge of the bed, subconsciously hiding the book she was reading behind her back, and said softly.
One sentence was all it took to completely baffle Gao Baoliang!
He had been planning to use this opening line for a long time.
"Oh, I'm here to bring you a handkerchief."
He immediately remembered that he had finally found the handkerchief in the mud last night, and even washed it clean and dried it over a fire.
It was originally meant for my own use!
Meng Jiao took the handkerchief with a look of surprise and delight. "I thought I would never find it again. Thank you, Company Commander Gao."
The handkerchief was given to her by her deceased mother, and she always carried it with her. It fell out when she fell into the water.
When Gao Baoliang saw her smile, his heart melted, and he couldn't help but smile foolishly as well.
"Is there anything else?" Meng Jiao was a little surprised to see him standing there blankly, neither speaking nor moving.
His smile froze, his mind raced, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.
"Meng Zhiqing, I saved you last time, you should at least give me something to show your gratitude!"
Meng Jiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that they had come to ask for a thank-you fee. She quickly rummaged through her green military satchel and pulled out a homemade wallet. She took out a ten-yuan note, held it out, then pulled it back, and took out another one.
Twenty yuan should be enough, otherwise she won't have money for food.
Gao Baoliang was furious. That wasn't what he meant at all. He could have just given him a book or an enamel mug, anything would have been fine. What did he need money for?
"I think your wallet is nice, give it to me." He blocked the money that was being offered, being straightforward.
Meng Jiao exclaimed in surprise, then quickly explained, "This wallet is crocheted from yarn; it's not suitable for a man..."
Before she could finish explaining, Gao Baoliang had already turned and left, leaving behind a single sentence:
Let me know when it's done!
He was really afraid of being rejected again, but luckily he was quick-witted and ran away.
Meng Jiao: "......"
Company Commander Gao's quirks are really unique!
......
When Lin Qiao returned home, Jiang Ning and her mother-in-law were cooking.
Hearing that the book she was holding was borrowed from Meng Jiao, Jiang Ning instructed, "Remember to give her those two eggs when you return it."
Lin Qiao revealed a clear yet confused look in her eyes.
Wang Xiufen quickly added, "Your sister-in-law is right. Learn more about these social skills from her. You're becoming a bookworm."
Lin Qiao then touched her nose and grinned foolishly, and casually reminded them to be careful of thieves recently.
Yu Xiaofeng, who was next door, came back from Captain Gao's house and chatted with Lin Zhoushi, telling her to hide her money well so that the thief wouldn't find it.
Lin Zhou squinted as she sewed, curling her lip in disdain:
"As long as you don't worry about it."
Last time, she was craving meat and insisted that she didn't have any money to buy it for her. She had to take a dollar out of her pocket and give it to them before they could eat meat.
You're saying she has no money of her own, so why would the eldest son's wife treat her well?
She glanced into the house. What a shrewd thief! He could see through the cracks in the bricks and spot the money hidden there!
She wasn't worried at all.
After a while, Lin Chen returned, accompanied by the ringing of a bicycle bell.
He handed a large piece of pork ribs to Wang Xiufen.
