Chapter 13 Reject politely
After sleeping for a morning, Shen Qingqing regained her energy.
It would be boring to stay in the guesthouse all the time.
But she had no one to talk to, and wandering around the compound was likely to attract other people's attention.
Shen Qingqing decided to go out for a while to see the customs and culture of the Northwest and buy some daily necessities.
Before coming here, she didn't expect to stay here for so long, and she didn't prepare many things.
Although you can make do with it, paper towels are essential.
For daily use.
When your period comes, your energy consumption will be even greater, so you need to prepare in advance.
Shen Qingqing took the train from Beijing to the Northwest by herself, and changed trains twice along the way, so she knew how to get to the county town.
I plan to go to the cafeteria to have lunch before setting off.
If you can't get back in the afternoon, just stay in a guesthouse in the city for one night.
As soon as I went downstairs, I was stopped by a female comrade.
The other person had short hair, just like the lesbian I met yesterday.
"Are you Comrade Shen Qingqing?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Hello."
Zhou Xiaomei knew everyone in the compound, except this female comrade, who had a strange face. She was very beautiful, the kind that would make people unable to walk at first sight.
She was dressed very fashionably and her hair was black and smooth, and it was obvious that she had been carefully groomed.
Her whole body is fair and clean, and there is a faint fragrance on her body. I don’t know what brand of vanishing cream she uses, but it smells very nice.
She was carrying a small bag in her hand and walked down the stairs slowly, every move she made was very graceful.
As soon as Zhou Xiaomei saw her, she guessed her identity.
Upon asking, it turned out to be Shen Qingqing.
I thought to myself, Jiang Zhixun is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife!
Zhou Xiaomei explained her purpose with a smile.
"My name is Zhou Xiaomei, and I'm Lin Zhidong's wife. Tomorrow is our child's birthday, and I'd like to invite you and Captain Jiang to our home for dinner."
Worried that Shen Qingqing didn't know who Lin Zhidong was, Zhou Xiaomei added, "Lin Zhidong and Captain Jiang are comrades-in-arms. You met them in the cafeteria yesterday."
She pursed her lips sheepishly, "Lin Fengmian is my sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Shen Qingqing understood the relationship.
She knew Jiang Zhixun's attitude. He definitely didn't want her to visit the Lin family and have contact with his comrades.
So I politely declined, "I have to go to the city today, and I don't know if I can come back tomorrow."
Zhou Xiaomei said: "Captain Jiang is on vacation, let him go with you, he will definitely be able to make it back in time."
Shen Qingqing knew nothing about Jiang Zhixun's affairs, and she didn't know about his vacation either.
Since he had promised Jiang's mother, he would not hold Jiang Zhixun back and affect his transfer back to Beijing.
So it is not convenient to disclose the true marriage situation between her and Jiang Zhixun.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Qingqing said, "Then I'll try my best to come back. If I don't arrive on time, don't wait for me."
She didn't even mention Jiang Zhixun, which made Zhou Xiaomei feel like she was being scratched by a cat.
She was really curious about what happened between Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun.
Why Jiang Zhixun didn't go home for three years.
And he didn't even mention Shen Qingqing.
Now that Shen Qingqing has come to Northwest China, the couple seem to be unfamiliar with each other.
I would like to ask you, which married man would let his delicate wife live in a guesthouse alone?
Anyway, every time their Lin Zhidong comes back from a mission, he is extremely hot at night.
I wish I could stay up all night doing that kind of thing.
Jiang Zhixun and Shen Qingqing have been separated for three whole years. Any normal man would have been unable to bear it.
This is too weird!
Zhou Xiaomei didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, Shen Qingqing had come to the compound, and there would be plenty of opportunities for her to figure out what happened between her and Jiang Zhixun.
"It's time for dinner now, Comrade Shen, go to the cafeteria to eat first, and then go to the city. We will be delayed on the way, so you can't go without eating."
Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "That's what I planned too."
Zhou Xiaomei goes home to eat instead of going to the cafeteria.
After making an appointment with Shen Qingqing for dinner the next day, I went home.
Shen Qingqing had been to the cafeteria before, and this time, she was familiar with the place and got her food.
While eating, I recalled what dishes were in the cafeteria the day before and where they were placed.
All the details can be recalled, and for Shen Qingqing in the past, this was the most common thing.
But now that she is ill, she can recall these little details clearly, which is enough to make her happy for a long time.
Nothing went wrong this time and Shen Qingqing successfully filled her stomach.
I washed the lunch box and put it in the bag I was carrying instead of returning it to the guesthouse.
Maybe it will be useful when I get to the city.
…
If Lin Zhidong hadn't come to the dormitory and mentioned it, Jiang Zhixun wouldn't have known that Shen Qingqing had left the compound.
“At this time, Comrade Shen has already left by car, why didn’t you accompany her?”
Jiang Zhixun's expression was tense, and he said dryly: "Her legs are on her body, so she is free to go wherever she wants."
Lin Zhidong snorted and put on an expression that showed he saw through everything.
“Could it be that Comrade Shen didn’t tell you that she was going into the city?”
Shen Qingqing indeed didn't tell him.
Jiang Zhixun's expression became even colder.
Lin Zhidong rubbed his arms in a fake manner, “You have a cold face all day long. If I were Comrade Shen, I would not bother to pay attention to you.”
Jiang Zhixun pouted his cheek and said, "I couldn't ask for more."
Lin Zhidong couldn't help his curiosity. "You and Comrade Shen don't have a grudge, right? Otherwise, who would treat their own wife in this way?"
After being given a cold look, Lin Zhidong knew that he was overthinking again.
He touched the top of his head and said, "You young people's affairs are really hard to understand."
They are the same age, so to Jiang Zhixun, this sounded like Lin Zhidong was insulting him.
"Comrade Shen promised to come to my house for dinner tomorrow. You can come together then. If you have any conflicts, it's better to sit down and talk it out. If you avoid her, it will only complicate things."
Lin Zhidong feels that since they are married, both husband and wife should be more honest with each other.
If you have something to say, just say it.
It is not good to hide things, as it may easily lead to misunderstandings.
Jiang Zhixun said expressionlessly: "I didn't hide from her."
Lin Zhidong was amused. "Then why are you staying in the dormitory instead of accompanying your wife?"
"She doesn't need me."
This is Jiang Zhixun's true feelings. After all, this is how he has been living for the past three years.
Shen Qingqing is very independent, she even dares to move out and live alone.
Seeing that Jiang Zhixun looked confused, Lin Zhidong felt worried for him.
"A wife needs to be coaxed. You are acting like a spoiled child and giving people a cold shoulder. Be careful, Comrade Shen will not serve you anymore and will divorce you."
After saying this, Lin Zhidong felt that he was a bit of a pessimist, so he quickly changed the subject.
“Anyway, bring Comrade Shen home tomorrow, don’t leave her behind. She has no relatives or friends here, and she doesn’t even have anyone to talk to. It’s not easy.”
After finishing his talk, Lin Zhidong left.
Since he was inviting people to dinner, meat dishes were essential, so he had to prepare them in advance.
Jiang Zhixun didn't want to care about Shen Qingqing.
But as a female comrade, it would be easy for her to get into trouble in an unfamiliar place.
Besides, she was still sick, and even though she no longer had a fever, her shoulder strain had not healed.
Instead of staying in the guesthouse properly, you're just making a fuss!
With a wooden face, Jiang Zhixun put on his military coat and left the dormitory.
