He joined the army at the age of eighteen, completed basic training, and earned merit in less than half a year. The merit was controversial, and he earned merit again in less than half a year.
However, his combat ability was only at a mid-level in the company, and half of the soldiers above him had better overall abilities.
He was commended for his meritorious service on a mission, the details of which were classified as military secrets. However, others still sensed his resentment from the occasional snippets of information revealed by Zhao Yu's comrades.
Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on?
As Zhao Yu's superior, the deputy battalion commander knew Zhao Yu better than the others.
Having worked with Battalion Commander Qin Yushen for so long, I've noticed that there's a slightly subtle relationship between Zhao Yu and Qin Yushen.
But Qin Yushen's attitude didn't seem like he had a good relationship with Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu came to see Qin Yushen mainly because he learned about the conflict between his sister and Lin Xiaoxiao after returning home, while he himself had been assigned a task by his mother.
The task is to make sure Qin Yushen comes back for dinner.
This was something that couldn't possibly be discussed with the deputy battalion commander.
So he shook his head and said, "I'd better go find the battalion commander. Deputy battalion commander, you're busy."
After saying that, he ran off.
The deputy battalion commander raised an eyebrow as he watched his retreating figure.
The ideological quality of the company-level officers in the battalion needs to be improved.
Ideological education classes need to be arranged.
Zhao Yu ran into Qin Yushen on his way to the training ground.
Upon seeing the person, he quickly ran up to him, "Brother, Mom asked me to invite you over for dinner tonight."
Qin Yushen frowned. "In the military, we use rank."
Zhao Yu, who meant well but was reprimanded, was very dissatisfied. "Battalion Commander."
Seeing that he was clearly unconvinced, Qin Yushen didn't argue with him and walked past him.
But she was stopped, "Mom says you have to go."
A hint of mockery flashed in Qin Yushen's eyes. Too lazy to argue about pointless things, he said, "I'm not going."
"Get out of the way."
Zhao Yu didn't move aside. "Brother, I know you don't like me, but Mom is your own mother. What's wrong with you going to eat and see her? You can't really turn your back on your family."
When he said the word "dear," he deliberately emphasized it.
It was as if it were reminding him that the two shared half of the same blood.
Qin Yushen's face appeared expressionless, but his hands were clenched tightly, and the veins bulged.
He looked at Zhao Yu and said, word by word, "Don't pretend with me. I know exactly what kind of person you are."
"I'm not going. Get out."
He strode away, and this time Zhao Yu didn't stop him.
After Qin Yushen walked a few meters away, Zhao Yu spoke again, his tone light and casual, "Mom went to invite your girlfriend herself, brother, are you really not going?"
Qin Yushen paused in his steps.
She glanced back at Zhao Yu, her eyes cold as a cicada in winter, her chilling aura transforming into icy spikes that made Zhao Yu shiver slightly.
Zhao Yu seemed to have discovered something interesting and chuckled twice.
Qin Yushen rushed to the Zhao family's house. Before stepping through the door, he was still thinking about the scene of Lin Xiaoxiao being harassed by his mother.
But when he actually stepped inside, what he saw stunned him.
Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, holding a fruit plate in her hand, with cookies and peach shortbread in front of her, and a bowl of steaming brown sugar water beside her.
I felt as comfortable as if I were at home.
There was no sign of them being mistreated.
Anyone who didn't know better would think this was Lin Xiaoxiao's house.
"You're here? Come and have some fruit, your mom bought some fresh fruit this afternoon." Lin Xiaoxiao waved to Qin Yushen when she saw him.
Before Qin Yushen could even sit down, she stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth, which he chewed mechanically.
"Is it sweet?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes." He nodded.
Clang, clang, clang...
A loud noise came from the kitchen.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and said loudly, "Mom, don't smash the pot! Although I know you're rich, we have to be careful with our money. You still have many stepchildren to support, and two biological sons. Who knows, you might even give Qin Yushen a younger brother someday. So many mouths to feed, please be careful, don't..."
Before she could finish her sentence, an impatient voice came from the kitchen.
"Shut up, I don't need you to discipline me."
"Okay, I knew Mom knew what she was doing." Lin Xiaoxiao replied, "Qin Yushen likes braised fish, so let's braise the fish in the kitchen."
"I'm sure Mom knows, right?"
He Meng, who had originally planned to make her youngest son's favorite sauerkraut fish, paused in her work of cleaning the fish.
Thinking about what I had to do later, I could only reluctantly braise the fish.
Qin Yushen didn't think anything of Lin Xiaoxiao calling him "Mom" before they even got their marriage certificate. Instead, he asked quietly, "How did you know I like braised fish?"
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him, sipping her brown sugar water and eating cookies. "You ate most of that braised fish at noon."
He ordered it.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, surprised that she was quite observant.
but......
"What did you do to make my mom so obedient?"
He knew He Meng all too well what kind of person she was.
Unexpectedly, she not only didn't make things difficult for Lin Xiaoxiao, but also cooked according to Lin Xiaoxiao's request.
This is absolutely unbelievable.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and beckoned to him. Qin Yushen obediently leaned closer, and she whispered in his ear, "It's a secret."
Qin Yushen: "......"
Seeing his blank expression, Lin Xiaoxiao laughed twice.
Then he stopped teasing him and said honestly, "I didn't do anything, it's just that your mother is up to no good."
Qin Yu understood, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Don't be silly and believe whatever she says. If anything happens, push it onto me."
