Fu Shen looked at Yang Guohua and asked, "Political Commissar, are you also going to see Yueyue and the others off?"
Yang Guohua said helplessly, "I would like to take them to the dock, but Comrade Wang won't allow it."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue suppressed a laugh and said, "Godfather, you can see us off here. There's no need to take us to the dock."
If the four of them go to the dock together, and then he walks back alone, wouldn't that be pointless?
Fu Shen originally wanted to take them to the train station, but she disagreed. However, Fu Shen said with a worried look that he was afraid of bumping into her because of the crowds at the train station. He wanted to personally escort her to her seat to put his mind at ease. He also gave her a long list of instructions. If it weren't for his mission, he would have been able to make it in time.
She thought that Fu Shen would probably send them directly to Beicheng.
Although the man was a bit long-winded, it was all because he cared about her deeply.
Wang Jingyi simply said, "Ignore him, let's go."
Wang Jingyi didn't have much luggage; it looked like she only had two or three sets of clothes.
Just as he stepped outside the gate, Zhao Jian rushed out and said, "Commander Fu, your father called."
Su Yue immediately looked at Fu Shen, only to see a hint of annoyance flash between his brows.
"From now on, whenever my parents call, just say I'm not in the army or I'm on a mission. If they ask when I'll be back, just say it's not convenient to disclose that information."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian nodded, turned around and ran back to the guard's room. He said something to them and then hung up the phone.
In a brigade in the southern part of the city, Fu Liugen stood there, stunned, listening to the busy tone on the phone.
Liu Xiuying frowned at him, her tone unfriendly: "What did that unfilial son say? Did he forget to send us money back?"
Fu Liugen put down the phone and said, "The soldier said he's not here; he's on a mission."
Liu Xiuying said viciously, "Why is he always on missions? Why haven't I seen him die out there?"
Every time I need to contact him, it's always about a mission, a mission.
Upon hearing this, Fu Liugen quickly glanced nervously at the door, frowned, and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want someone to hear you wanting to go and collect manure?"
Liu Xiuying said nonchalantly, "I'm not making this up. Last time I asked him to come back for the wedding, he said he was on a mission. This time I asked him why he didn't send the money back, and he said he was on a mission again. If he loves going on missions so much, he might as well die out there, it would save us..."
Fu Liugen suddenly raised his hand and slapped Liu Xiuying hard across the face with a loud "smack".
Liu Xiuying instinctively covered her face, staring at Fu Liugen in disbelief. She realized that she had already been hit twice by Fu Liugen for talking about Fu Shen.
Even without the village secretary present, she's determined to fight back.
Just as he was about to push Fu Liugen, Fu Liugen forcefully pushed him to the base of the wall.
Before Liu Xiuying could speak, Fu Liugen glared at her and said through gritted teeth, "No matter what, he's still a soldier. How can you curse a soldier like that? Do you have a death wish?"
Liu Xiuying retorted, "There's no one else here, so what's the point of saying anything?"
Fu Liugen said angrily, "Are you blind? Isn't that person sitting in the accountant's office a human being?"
That man was the village accountant. He would come to the village committee office at six o'clock every day to open the door so that villagers could make phone calls if they had any urgent matters. He would stand guard there and charge for making those calls.
No matter who makes the call, they have to pay 50 cents each time, but answering the call is free.
After exchanging only a few words, she was asked to pay 50 cents, which made Liu Xiuying even angrier.
No matter how angry Liu Xiuying was, the accountant didn't care, and with a smile on her face, recorded the money in the ledger.
When Wu Zhongjian arrived at the brigade, the accountant told him in detail about the argument between Fu Liugen and Liu Xiuying in the telephone room.
The accountant said, "I heard Liu Xiuying start the argument, Fu Liugen slapped her, and the two almost got into a fight. After that, I don't know what they said."
Wu Zhongjian frowned. "You're always eavesdropping on other people's phone calls. You have no privacy at all. Who will dare to make a phone call here in the future? When the public funds are insufficient, we'll deduct it from your pocket."
