Xu Yingying was not surprised to see Liu Baogen, but she didn't expect to suddenly see her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Although she married Liu Baogen, they got married in haste and she traveled all over the province, and she never met Liu's family.
It can be said that Xu Yingying was not mentally prepared at all.
But, there was more to her surprise.
After saying something to her colleagues, she came out to have a detailed chat with Liu Baogen and the others.
She was a little surprised to see that Liu Baogen was wearing casual clothes instead of military uniform this time.
"Yingying, let's find a place to sit down and talk." Liu Baogen suggested.
There was no way he could hide this matter anymore, so it would be better for him to be honest.
They found a state-owned restaurant and sat down. Liu Baogen took charge and ordered a few dishes at random.
When the table was empty, he said to Xu Yingying seriously, "Yingying, I want to tell you something. I'm not in the army anymore."
"What?" Xu Yingying's eyes widened.
"Alas, I was framed by Zheng Tiansen and expelled from the army. I couldn't defeat him, so I had no choice but to leave."
"How could he do this! What about your other leaders? Is there no one who can speak reasonable?" Xu Yingying felt like the sky was falling.
"If I could, I would have done it long ago." Liu Baogen smiled bitterly.
Even if he wanted to be honest, he had already discussed with his mother and sister that he could not tell Xu Yingying the whole truth and could only blame it all on Zheng Tiansen.
Even when Liu Baogen lost his position as platoon leader, Xu Yingying had never felt so desperate.
What did she see in him? Wasn't it that he was young and promising, and that she could become an officer's wife? In the future, there was the possibility that the husband would be rich and the wife would be glorious, and everything would get better and better.
But what to tell her now, he is no longer in the army.
If he doesn't join the army, he will just be a country resident and unemployed. Any job he finds in the city with similar conditions will be better than his!
Before they got married, she was pregnant with his child.
Liu Baogen went from regret to relief, but Xu Yingying now felt extremely regretful.
If she had known earlier, she would not have planned to get pregnant, and ended up getting herself into trouble.
Seeing Xu Yingying's unhappy expression, Liu's mother felt uncomfortable.
"Baogen didn't do it on purpose." She just felt that her daughter-in-law was really ignorant and didn't even show her displeasure to her son.
Xu Yingying glanced at her, without a trace of respect in her eyes, only disdain.
"So, now that you can't join the army and don't have a job, what are you going to do?"
Even though he could tell Xu Yingying's tone was bad, Liu Baogen didn't get angry like he usually did. Instead, he said patiently, "Yingying, don't worry. I still have some money. I'll stay and we'll live a good life. I'll also take care of you and the baby in your belly. When there's a suitable opportunity, I'll find a job."
His sincere attitude actually made Xu Yingying unable to vent her anger. She just said in a low voice: "What else can I do if not?"
Mother Liu really wanted to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, but her son stopped her with a look, and she was very angry.
It hasn't been long since they got married, and she already has this attitude towards her son. If they have a baby in the future, there will be chaos. Otherwise, I have to teach Baogen a lesson in private. He can't live like this. How can he let his wife control him?
But she didn't expect that in their family, she always had her husband under her control.
I can only say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seem to be natural enemies, and rarely can they get along harmoniously.
As the food arrived, Xu Yingying ate it in a listless mood. Seeing the Liu family's mother and daughter eating in such a pretentious manner, she felt more and more disgusted.
He is a country bumpkin, old-fashioned and ignorant.
Xu Yingying lives in a shared dormitory with others, and she can't take them to rest.
There was no other choice, so Liu Baogen could only take his mother and sister to live in a guesthouse.
After knowing how much a room costs per night, even though there are still some valuable items at home, Liu's mother can't help but feel distressed.
Liu Baogen also knew that living in a guesthouse was not a long-term solution, and he was already planning to find a house.
Since he didn't plan to stay, he had to consider where the couple would live.
Since he couldn't live in his wife's dormitory, he had to let Xu Yingying move out.
Otherwise, what's the point of living?
Right now, he is busy settling down in the city, and has no time to care about Zheng Tiansen and Linglong. All the hatred is suppressed in his heart.
Let’s talk about Linglong.
Thinking that Political Commissar Hao had also been of great help in the matter between Zheng Tiansen and herself, Linglong included him in the dinner.
Finally, Hao Chunlei knew about the dinner party and wanted to come along, which led to her joining in.
These two were her friends, and they asked to come and try her cooking. Linglong couldn't refuse, so she just invited them both.
With Zheng Tiansen's support coupons, Linglong went to the grocery store and made a careful selection.
Some dishes that are difficult to prepare also need to be marinated in advance.
Hao Chunlei and Jie Jie said they wanted to help and came to Tong's house early.
But they have never cooked at home, and even if they help, they can only help wash and pick vegetables.
Seeing Linglong busy and working in an orderly manner, Jie felt emotional towards Hao Chunlei.
"Linglong is beautiful and can cook delicious food. If I were a man, I would have snatched her home long ago."
"That's right, Captain Zheng is so lucky." Hao Chunlei nodded seriously.
Linglong's ears had already turned red when she heard them talking, but she had to pretend to be busy as if nothing had happened.
With Hao Chunlei and Jie Jie by her side, Aunt Tong had a lot of free time and would just stroll outside and listen to the radio.
Zheng Tiansen, Political Commissar Hao and Tong Dazhu made an appointment to go to Tong's house for dinner after finishing their work.
Perhaps he was also looking forward to seeing Linglong having a big meal, so he would look at his watch from time to time.
Outside the military camp, a fashionable woman walked to the door.
"Comrade, this is a military base. No unauthorized persons allowed."
"Hello, comrade from the People's Liberation Army. I'm here to look for someone."
"Who are you looking for?" asked the sentry on duty.
"I'm looking for Zheng Tiansen. My name is Wang Meiqin and I'm his family member."
Looking at Wang Meiqin's attire and remembering that Zheng Tiansen was from Beijing, the sentry suddenly understood.
"Comrade, please wait a moment. I need to ask for instructions."
Although he already believed that Wang Meiqin was Zheng Tiansen's relative from Beijing, he still had to leave as it was the rule.
Wang Meiqin smiled politely. "Thank you for your help."
Zheng Tiansen was transferred by the call from the duty room and told that a family member named "Wang Meiqun" was looking for him at the door. He immediately stood up, confirmed it again and again, hung up the phone, and quickly ran out of the office.
Tong Dazhu happened to come looking for him, but he only saw his back walking away and didn't have time to call him.
When Zheng Tiansen rushed to the camp gate, he saw a familiar figure that he had not seen for a long time.
"Misaki-sister, why are you here?" He was surprised.
When she saw him, Wang Meiqi's eyes lit up, and she felt that all the hard work and effort of coming all the way here was worth it.
"Tiansen, long time no see." She gave what she thought was the most perfect smile.
In the camp, the dinner horn also sounded at this time.
