Chapter 19: Embarrassing Miao Xiaohua
It was already late at night when Lin Momo arrived at Cheng Jinghao's house.
"I'll get you some spiritual spring water. Take a bath in it, but don't catch a cold." Cheng Jinghao helped Lin Momo take off her straw raincoat and hat.
"It's okay, this raincoat is very good, I'm not wet at all."
"That won't work either." Cheng Jinghao's attitude was firm and he had already started releasing the spiritual spring water.
"Then you should soak too." Lin Momo looked at him.
She had imagined countless times what it would be like for Cheng Jinghao to be a soldier.
It was not until today that she felt it so intuitively. For the villagers, he would act without hesitation and report later. For his comrades, he could take on the responsibility alone.
"What do you care about me?" Cheng Jinghao looked at her, staring at her straight.
“We can at least be together…” Feeling his gaze, Lin Momo blushed suddenly, and her chest began to beat violently.
"After all, we grew up together, childhood sweethearts?"
"Yeah, that's right." Lin Momo didn't dare to look him in the eye. She quickly moved the bucket into the space and then flashed into the space herself.
"Hehe." Cheng Jinghao stood there and pursed his lips.
Lin Momo covered her chest as soon as she entered the space, "Oh my god, why is Cheng Jinghao so, so..."
"What is he thinking about? The filter is definitely his military filter." Lin Momo slapped her face hard.
On the first day, Cheng Jinghao stayed at home because the first battalion had a collective rest.
녊Okay, the guy who delivered the sewing machine놌 and the guy who delivered the coal for the coal stove are here.
After the delivery cart was registered, the guard at the gate of the military district's family compound led the cart to the gate of Cheng Jinghao's compound.
This is the first sewing machine in the family compound. The first sewing machine was bought by Political Commissar Cao’s family when he married his daughter-in-law. Later, Political Commissar Cao’s son and daughter-in-law went to the Construction Corps, and the sewing machine was left in Political Commissar Cao’s home.
"Captain Cheng, your sewing machine and coal stove are here." The guard knocked on the gate. In addition to the guard and the ox cart, there were many military dependents surrounding Cheng Jinghao's house.
"Coming." Cheng Jinghao opened the door, thanked the guard, and let the deliveryman into the yard.
"Wow, there are so many people." He glanced at the military dependents at the door and said with a smile.
"Captain Cheng, the coal for this sewing machine and coal stove is not cheap. It will cost you a lot to marry such a wife." The speaker was Liu Shuanggui's wife, Miao Xiaohua.
Cheng Jinghao was about to say something when Lin Momo in the yard pulled him back.
"For your man, that would cost a lot of money, but for my old Cheng, it's nothing. Who says my old Cheng is only 26 and he's a battalion commander? Naturally, he's much better than those 40-year-olds who are still motionless."
"Pfft." Many military dependents around laughed.
There was nothing wrong with what Lin Momo said. Although Cheng Jinghao and Liu Shuanggui were both battalion commanders, their monthly allowance was 20 yuan higher than his.
What's more, Cheng Jinghao is the captain of the action team and also receives a certain amount of allowance. If he goes on a mission, he will also receive a lot of bonuses.
Liu Shuanggui has been the battalion commander for ten years and is already past the age for promotion.
"You..." Miao Xiaohua pointed at Lin Momo and couldn't say a word.
"What do you mean? Didn't your mother teach you what a good teacher is? Don't come out and embarrass yourself with your limited skills." Lin Momo put her hands on her hips, looking both cute and fierce.
"Awesome!" Cheng Jinghao stood beside Lin Momo and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
"Thank you!" Lin Momo raised her head towards him, quite proud.
"You, you wait." Miao Xiaohua turned around angrily and was about to leave.
"Hey, Miao Xiaohua, I'm waiting. I'm waiting for your Captain Liu and our Lao Cheng to practice in the training ground." Lin Momo shouted behind her.
When Miao Xiaohua heard Lin Momo's words, she almost stumbled and fell.
By the time they were together, the agreement between Cheng Jinghao and Liu Shuanggui last night had actually spread throughout the military district's family compound.
This was originally an unwritten rule of the military region, and challenges and competitions between people of the same level were allowed.
Everyone knows that it was Liu Shuanggui who complained for no reason yesterday and made Cheng Jinghao angry, so Cheng Jinghao wanted to vent his anger on him.
"These two Liu brothers are really from the same family." The family members have already started to discuss it.
"Miao Xiaohua wanted to bully Momo because of her young age, but she was killed instantly." Li He laughed. She really didn't expect that Lin Momo, who looked soft and tender, could be so good at talking.
"Hehe, Sister Li He, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you." Lin Momo laughed embarrassedly.
"That's great, Captain Cheng's wife. No wonder you're so young. Your family allowed you to join the army." The military family member said to Lin Momo.
"No, no." Lin Momo took out some fruit candies from the room and distributed them to the military families.
"When a big item is placed in the house, everyone can share in the joy."
"Oh, how sorry, we are here to see the fun." The military families all felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, take it and eat it, it's not worth anything." This fruit candy is only 0.5 cents a pound, which is really not worth much for military families.
"Thank you then!"
When Lin Momo went in, Cheng Jinghao had already installed the coal stoves, one in the main room and one in the bedroom, and the coal was neatly placed in the empty room.
"Be sure to pay attention to ventilation when using a coal stove, do you know?" After the delivery man left, Cheng Jinghao kept reminding Lin Momo.
"Okay." Lin Momo nodded seriously.
——————
The next day, Cheng Jinghao led the entire battalion to wait for Liu Shuanggui at the training ground.
The first battalion lined up in neat rows, standing at attention seriously.
Half an hour passed.
An hour passed.
"Old Cheng, Liu Shuanggui wouldn't dare to come, would he?" Zhao Zhigang walked in front of Cheng Jinghao.
"Xu 녊qing." Cheng Jinghao shouted to the queue.
"누!" Xu 녊qing, the company commander of a company under Cheng Jinghao and a member of the combat team.
"Go and invite Captain Liu Shuanggui, and tell him that the Army Commander and Political Commissar will be here in a while."
"Yes." Xu 녊qing ran away quickly.
"He Shouyi."
"You!" He Shouyi, the company commander of Cheng Jinghao's 1st company and a member of the combat team.
"Go ask Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao to tell you the truth about what happened today."
"yes."
"Xu Zhaoyang."
"누!" Xu Zhaoyang, the company commander of the third company under Cheng Jinghao and a member of the combat team.
"Go and ask the commanders of the first and third battalions to come to our first battalion training ground."
"yes."
After the three company commanders left, Zhao Zhigang gave Cheng Jinghao a thumbs up.
"Are you planning to do something big?"
"Doesn't he like to find trouble? I'll find something for him to do." Cheng Jinghao kissed her lips.
"Why do I feel like you've changed after getting married? You didn't care about this kind of thing before. You didn't do that because of Liu Shuanggui's wife..."
"Do you think my wife needs me to help her vent her anger?" Cheng Jinghao looked at Zhao Zhigang.
"..."No, that's absolutely not necessary.
