Song Shuxi's English class is scheduled in the afternoon, two hours every day, with a total of 10 students.
When I arrived at the classroom, I saw two familiar faces, Wei Jianguo and Liu Xingguo. The remaining eight were young soldiers in their twenties, and they were very serious.
"Hello everyone, my name is Song Shuxi. Captain Zhang and Political Commissar Xu asked me to teach you English. Let me first take a look at your basics. Introduce yourself in English. You can use a pseudonym, or talk about anything that interests you. Just speak English."
Song Shuqian was unsure about the extent of the military confidentiality regulations, so she simply let them say whatever they wanted. She wasn't really interested in these people.
"Wei Jianguo, you go first, and Liu Xinguo next time." At times like this, you have to start with people you know.
Wei Jianguo has already learned a little from Song Shuqian and can speak a few simple sentences with standard pronunciation.
Liu Xinguo can also say a few simple words.
The rest of the people can also speak a little bit.
After the confirmation, Song Shuxi began daily teaching. She used a situational simulation method, spoke the simplest English, avoided uncommon words and sentence structures, and required them to memorize what was taught every day.
The tasks are not difficult and they learn easily.
At the beginning, these soldiers secretly wondered whether Song Shuxi, a young girl, was a relative of the family and had no skills to waste their time.
After one class, they realized they were wrong. Song Shuxi's English was really good.
Her accent is the same as those foreigners.
After speaking a week's worth of words in one class, Song Shuqian felt her throat burning with pain.
Wei Jianguo brought over a glass of water and said, "Are you tired? Drink some water quickly."
Song Shuqian felt a little embarrassed. She took the water with a red face and drank a few sips.
It was only then that everyone knew that this English teacher was Wei Jianguo’s wife.
Wei Jianguo had training in the afternoon, so after saying goodbye to everyone, Song Shuqian returned to the family compound alone.
Wei Jianguo was left alone here while everyone made fun of him.
Lu Erping, who had a very good relationship with me, said, "Old Wei, I didn't expect your sister-in-law to be so pretty and talented. How did you get her? Do you have any experience to share?"
Wei Jianguo thought about his daily interactions with his wife, "Yes, it is true. Be more sincere and look at things from her perspective."

On the first day of teaching, Song Shuxi was very nervous and couldn't sleep at noon.
Now when I get home, I feel tired and fall asleep as soon as I lie down on the bed without even having time to change clothes.
This sleep lasted a little long. When Wei Jianguo came back from training, he saw Song Shuxi wearing the same clothes she had worn in the morning, lying in a rocking chair, sleeping soundly.
"Wake up, wife, get up and eat something, then go back to your room and sleep."
"Why are you back? What time is it?"
"It's seven o'clock. I'll go cook. You get up by yourself."
"good".
After saying that, Song Shuxi sat on the recliner, motionless, for a full 10 minutes with a dull look in her eyes. In her consciousness, she was dreaming, dreaming that Wei Jianguo came back to cook for her.
Why do I have this dream?
Song Shuqian couldn't figure it out.
Wei Jianguo was worried while cooking, so he came over to check, and he got a silly wife.
He looked silly, and it was obvious that he was half asleep.
Letting her continue to daydream, Wei Jianguo went to the kitchen to busy himself.
It took me 10 minutes to wake up completely. I washed my face, refreshed myself, and got myself ready.
It was late, so Wei Jianguo made a bowl of tomato and dumpling soup, adding some Zamonmeng flowers picked from the mountains. It was especially delicious.
After finishing a bowl, I felt warm and comfortable. "Jianguo, the zamonmeng flower is really delicious. It is also delicious when used to make cold dishes."
"I'll ask if there are any comrades over there so we can exchange some." These seasonings are local specialties of the grassland. When Wei Jianguo went there on a mission, his fellow villagers sent them to the military district as a token of their gratitude.
“How was my lecture today? Is there anything I can improve?”
"It's very good, very perfect, and no need for improvement. Wife, you don't know, after you left, they were so envious of me, they kept praising me, they were almost confused by it."
Wei Jianguo was laughing so hard, it was obvious that he was very happy to be praised today.
"What did you praise me for?"
Song Shuqian held her chin with both hands and asked with sparkling eyes.
Wei Jianguo...I almost forgot that his wife loves being praised the most.
"They say I married a girl who is both talented and beautiful, and most importantly, we both care about each other. My dear wife, I was so nervous when we first got married. I was afraid that you would look down on me and that I am an illiterate compared to you."
Wei Jianguo was speaking the truth; his wife liked the finest of things, and he was just a rough guy.
If it weren't for this fucked up era, the two of them would have never had any contact with each other.
Song Shuqian said with a smile, "I don't have any worries about this. The young general and his sweet little wife are so beautiful. The young general is a great hero outside, but a rough man at home.
When I was a child, I particularly liked stories like this when I read novels. After marriage, the novel becomes reality. "
Wei Jianguo hugged her in his arms. He especially liked hugging Song Shuqian. Sometimes, even though his wife is right next to him, he feels she is very far away.
Just hold her, she will always be there.
"I didn't expect you to have such an idea. Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being my wife, you have good taste."
Song Shuxi felt so itchy because of what he did to her that she laughed out loud.
"When we were going on a blind date, I was the one who took the initiative to tell my grandfather that I wanted to choose a soldier. I felt that the military was safe, soldiers were reassuring, and most soldiers were very straightforward."
"So how many soldiers have you been on blind dates with?" Wei Jianguo asked cautiously. He knew that blind dates were a thing of the past, but he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
"Two. I met one in the morning when I went on a blind date with you, but he wasn't suitable. After meeting you in the afternoon, we got the marriage certificate right away."
This is really a pleasant surprise. Wei Jianguo thought that the Song family would arrange ten or eight people for Song Shuqian to choose slowly.
"What are they thinking? Parents who truly love their children would not cast a wide net like this. It is not good for their children's reputation. They would usually select carefully first, investigate the most satisfactory one, and then arrange for their children to meet him."
After listening to Song Shuxi's explanation, Wei Jianguo was satisfied.
The days that followed passed quickly as I was teaching.
The 10 people selected are excellent in all aspects, including academic performance. Their English improved rapidly and after only one month, they were able to communicate in daily life.
Song Shuxi's teaching work ended perfectly.
This also means that Wei Jianguo has to go on a mission again.
While Song Shuqian was packing his things, she said, "Wei Jianguo, I know there is a confidentiality agreement. I'm not asking for anything, but one thing: you have to come back alive. It doesn't matter if you're missing a few limbs.
Remember, our family is rich and can support the two of us. We can also have enough money to raise a few more children in the future.
You must come back alive. "
Wei Jianguo came over and hugged Song Shuxi. He knew he couldn't hide it from Song Shuxi. During their daily mission abroad and teaching English, Song Shuxi had already guessed it.
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will come back alive. I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."
After packing up her things and watching Wei Jianguo leave, Song Shuqian felt her heart beating very fast and she felt inexplicably anxious.
She didn't go home until she couldn't see anyone anymore.
Mo Ying was very smart. He sensed that Song Shuxi was in a bad mood, so he came over and rubbed against her.
