Chapter 71 Coax Her



It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the two arrived in Coconut City, where Qiao Yu might be.

Liang Su got off the boat, and before he had time to feel too much, he began to dislike the smell on his body.

There was no chance to take a shower on the boat, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

She felt more and more that it was not easy for Shen Congji to go home.

When the two arrived at the hotel, the first thing Liang Su did was to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

The place where they were was said to be the old arcade street of Coconut City. The buildings on the entire street were very Nanyang-style and somewhat similar to the old street of Cheng County.

In addition to the house, there are many local specialties, such as Qingbuliang, spicy soup rice, and coconut jelly.

Liang Su only hated that his stomach was not big enough and he couldn't eat enough in one go.

We're going to Heji by bus tomorrow.

She originally wanted to pack a plate of white-cut chicken to eat at the hotel, but Shen Congji was afraid that she would eat too much, so he said he would bring her down to eat later.

Liang Su had no choice but to give up.

"Are there so many delicious foods over in Heji as well?"

Shen Congji said: “Almost.”

Because the distance itself is not very far, the food is not much different.

Liang Su nodded and decided to save some for later eating at the base.

The next morning, they boarded a bus to Yang County.

Then we took the township bus to the Yalangwan base.

These days, Liang Su's only memory is taking the bus again and again.

It wasn't until she stood at the gate of the base that she felt relieved, as she had finally arrived.

“Deputy Captain Shen, please apply for a pass here first.”

This is Liang Su’s first time here, so he needs to fill in some information to facilitate future entry and exit.

After she filled it out, the soldier standing guard at the door gave her a stamped card.

"You must keep this safe. If it is lost or damaged, you can come here to replace it."

Liang Su smiled and thanked them, and then saw them let him go.

After entering, you will see the military family compound.

This place is similar to a village. The houses are all built in the same style and have similar specifications.

Most of them are bungalows with a yard outside and a yard wall made of stone.

Some uninhabited yards are overgrown with weeds that are almost as tall as the walls.

Along the way, many people looked at Liang Su.

They came over specifically to talk to Shen Congji just to get to know Liang Su openly.

Everyone knows that Shen Congji is married, and some even say that the person he married is his childhood sweetheart.

I thought she was a country girl, but I didn't expect her to be so pretty, fair and tender, even prettier than the dancers in the art troupe.

Shen Congji brought her to the gate of a yard and stopped. Inside was the overgrown yard that Liang Su had just seen.

Liang Su: "...You lived here before?"

Shen Congji said: "I used to live in a dormitory, a single room, not enough for two people. After I got my marriage report, I also applied for this house."

He opened the door and walked in, first pulling out the weeds in the middle to make a path for Liang Su.

"Come in first, and we'll clean up the rest later."

Liang Su got a headache when she saw this yard. Since she had moved in, it was impossible for her to do nothing.

But she had never pulled weeds in the scorching sun before.

As they walked in, a delicate voice came from behind them: "Chen Congji!"

Liang Su just turned around and saw a figure passing by.

The girl was not reserved at all and rushed towards Shen Congji and hugged him.

Liang Su was startled and looked at Shen Congji in surprise as he dodged sideways.

He then scolded the girl in a frivolous manner: "Comrade Xu Yan, please respect yourself!"

The stiff and ruthless words made Xu Yan look at him sadly with tears in her eyes.

"I heard you were married, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Shen Congji's eyebrows revealed impatience, "Comrade Xu Yan, I have nothing to do with you, why should I tell you about getting married?"

"You didn't tell me, do you know how sad I was? I cried for a long time and even asked my dad to help me and not approve your marriage report, but he refused to agree."

Liang Su finally understood. It turned out that it was the goddess who had the dream, but King Xiang was not interested.

This Xu Yan looks younger than herself, like a child. How could she like Shen Congji, an old-fashioned man?

Hearing her words, Shen Congji became more displeased.

"Comrade Xu Yan, you should be thankful that Director Xu didn't interfere with my marriage report, otherwise your father would be punished because of you!"

Xu Yan couldn't help crying, and looked at him with resentment, as if accusing the man of being cruel.

Liang Su said nothing, but still suffered Xu Yan's hatred.

Before Xu Yan came, she had already thought of a lot of excuses in her mind. She could laugh at the country girl's clothes and appearance, and she could laugh at her lack of culture and being unworthy of Shen Congji.

But at a glance, none of what she was thinking about had anything to do with Liang Su.

She is so beautiful, even prettier than me.

Her skin is also fair, much fairer than Xu Yan's, who spends years sunbathing at the beach.

Liang Su just stood there without saying a word, like a luminous body, attracting everyone's attention.

After comparing herself with her, Xu Yan found that she seemed to be inferior to her in every way.

Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help crying out and ran away covering her face.

Liang Su: "...Aren't you going to catch up?"

"What are you chasing after?"

"Comfort her, she looks very sad."

Shen Congji said seriously: “Comrade Liang Su, Xu Yan and I have no relationship. She is just the daughter of Director Xu of the Political Department of the Base Division. She has nothing to do with me.”

Liang Su was a little surprised by his sudden serious explanation.

"I see. Let's pack up first."

When she walked in, she found that there were three rooms in total, all of which were large and had good lighting and ventilation.

"You choose first. This is your room after all."

Shen Congji said: "Comrade Liang Su, are you going to sleep in a separate room from me?"

Liang Su was stunned. Shouldn’t it be like this?

"Let me remind you, this is at the base. If someone sees us sleeping in separate rooms, how are you going to explain it? Tell them this is a fake marriage?"

Liang Su's eagerness to distance himself from the matter made Shen Congji feel depressed.

"The marriage report has already been filed. You don't want me to be punished, do you?"

Liang Su didn't understand this, and when he heard it sound like it was a serious matter, he compromised.

"Then we sleep in this room, what do you think?"

The room she was pointing to was the largest, and even if a bed was put in the room it would probably still seem empty.

However, Liang Su also wanted to build a large wardrobe and a dressing table, and these two would probably fit in just fine.

"Okay, I'll go get some water. Do you want to go find the way?"

Liang Su asked, "Is there no running water here?"

"Not yet. There are two wells nearby where you can get water."

Liang Su nodded and followed him out.

Shen Congji was carrying two buckets of water, while Liang Su followed behind him, attracting a lot of people's attention.

Liang Su looked carefully and found that many of the people carrying water were women, and there were very few men coming out to fetch water.

As soon as Shen Congji appeared, he became the target of public criticism.
