Captain Chen and Party Secretary Ji were very efficient. They quickly joined forces and divided the able-bodied men of the brigade into eight groups, each led by Ji Xiangjun, Chen Jing, and several members in charge of security, with each group responsible for security in one direction.
After searching for most of the night, they found the tracks of four or five wolves that had fled towards the back of the mountain.
During the search, Lin Haodong and Liu Pianran had a huge argument, shouting that they would get a divorce the next day.
It turned out that Liu Pianran was resting in the educated youth dormitory when Lin Haodong argued with her late at night and forced her to go home, when they encountered several wild wolves.
Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.
In the critical moment, Lin Haodong saw several wolves. Instead of taking his wife with him to escape, he pushed Liu Pianran in front of the wolves and fled alone.
Fortunately, a member of the commune shouted at the wolves, saving Liu Pianran just before they caught her, and driving away six or seven wolves.
Later, I heard that his son rescued a wolf cub caught in an animal trap in the back mountain. He thought it was a puppy and took it home to nurse it back to health.
The male wolf family came to their door. Perhaps because the wolves knew that the little boy had saved their cubs and had not harmed them, they left with the injured cubs.
Just as they were leaving, they encountered Lin Haodong and Liu Pianran arguing.
The wolf family ran away, and a group of commune members searched the entire brigade, then watched a good show.
Given Lin Haodong's act of pushing Liu Pianran out to shield her from the wolves in the critical moment, even the villagers who valued harmony the most had no face to plead with Liu Pianran.
However, Liu Pianran not only made a fuss about getting a divorce, but also demanded that Lin Haodong compensate her for the money. She loudly proclaimed the 250 yuan that Lin Haodong had given to Ji Xia on his behalf to the villagers.
Only a small number of villagers knew about Ji Xia's annulment of the engagement and the resulting financial compensation from Liu Pianran; most hadn't heard much about it. Now, everyone knows.
Lin Haodong was furious, but he accused her of being promiscuous after marriage, flirting with men everywhere, and being disrespectful to her mother-in-law.
Meanwhile, Liu Pianran tearfully recounted in front of everyone the mother and son's perverse hobbies and the various methods they used to discipline their daughter-in-law.
They didn't find the wolf, but the entire village had a huge laugh, providing them with a year's worth of amusement.
This farce lasted for most of the night until Captain Chen, unable to bear it any longer, told them to go home and discuss it among themselves, and to go to the Women's Federation in town if they had any problems. Only then did he reprimand everyone and send them away.
This time, Lin Haodong really lost face completely.
When Chen Jing returned home, he knocked on the door for a long time before Ji Xia groggily opened her eyes.
A finger gently brushed across her lips, and Chen Jing's lips curled up: "Drooling, what are you thinking about?"
"I miss your pectoral muscles, let me touch them."
Ji Xia pouted her pretty little lips and muttered something, but when she saw her parents-in-law and brother and sister-in-law in the room looking embarrassed, she was startled and her face turned red.
This is incredibly embarrassing. Why did she fall asleep while waiting for someone? It must be because Chen Jing exhausted her last night; it's all his fault.
She forced a smile and said, "The chicken my sister-in-law made tonight was so delicious. Just thinking about the chicken breast makes my mouth water."
Chen Jing's eyes were full of smiles as he put his arm around her shoulder and said to his parents, brother, and sister-in-law, "Father, Mother, elder brother, and sister-in-law, I'll take her back to her room to rest."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Ji Xia, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and hurriedly ran away. When they got to the courtyard, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Back in the room, he pinned her against the door, chuckling to himself, "Missing my pecs? Even in your dreams?"
A large hand pulled her small hand under the hem of her clothes and placed it on his muscular chest.
"Touch me if you want, what are you waiting for? Don't worry, just tell me, I'll satisfy you."
Ji Xia bit her lower lip and pinched it, her face turning red, and the corners of her eyes also reddened.
It felt really good, and she couldn't help but touch it again, then a second time, then a third time...
A large hand grasped her soft, boneless little hand, guiding it downwards.
"Just abs? Actually, I also have a long spear—"
Her low, husky voice carried a hint of suppressed emotion and restraint. Ji Xia chuckled softly, "I once heard a song. Would you like to hear it?"
“I like listening to songs. I especially love listening to the songs that A-Xia sings to me.”
Ji Xia's red lips curved slightly as she softly sang a song: "The spear pierces the clouds, forging a lifetime of entanglements... The spear strikes like a dragon, a sword shatters the heavens—ah—"
That night, Ji Xia sang all night long, accompanied by intermittent sobs, until her vocal cords were almost hoarse.
...
The night raid turned out to be a false alarm. Secretary Ji handed the matter over to Captain Chen to handle, and then took his wife and Ji Xiangjun into the city to meet with their in-laws.
Old Man Sun was satisfied with Ji Xiangjun's family background and sincerity. The two families sat in the private room and had a friendly discussion about the marriage.
Old Sun's requirements weren't high; he only asked Ji Xiangjun to follow local standards—whatever other families had for their weddings, his family had to have too.
Ji Xiangjun is not short of money now. After hearing Old Man Sun's conditions, he immediately handed over a savings book: "This is two thousand yuan saved for the wedding. It is for the wedding gift and the three turns and one ring. I think the three turns and one ring are not necessary for the time being, but you can buy them if you want. I have already prepared the industrial tickets."
The "three turns and one sound" (referring to a house, a watch, a radio, and a betrothal gift) would normally cost a few hundred yuan for an average family, but Ji Xiangjun gave two thousand yuan directly, enough to make the wedding very lively.
However, after the New Year, the two of them will have to go to work in a factory in Jiangnan, so the three turns and one sound are actually a bit of a waste.
Sun Xiaoyu took the passbook, responded shyly, and put it away.
