The next day, when the military wives went to the roadside to set up a table again, they found that Battalion Commander Shi had also come to join in the fun.
Since his left hand was inconvenient, he used his right hand to give orders.
"Zhentang, you really can't stay idle!" Wang Xiu Di was amused by what she saw. He was a tall man standing among the military wives, standing out from the crowd.
Someone even joked, "Captain Shi, you really love your wife. You can't bear to be apart from her day or night."
"Of course, I can't leave such a beautiful wife for even a minute."
Everyone was joking and having fun, and felt more motivated to work.
Only Huang Xuehua looked dejected. She couldn't bear to see Shi Zhentang and his wife happy.
Why can he be the battalion commander at such a young age, while his own son, Old He, has to be his subordinate even though he is old?
Anyway, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Captain Shi, when will the commendation meeting for our Lao He's military merit medal be held? We were planning on having it that day, but then the earthquake happened."
"Sister-in-law, please ask the political commissar. I'm not sure." Shi Zhentang was neither arrogant nor humble.
"You don't know, or you don't want to say?"
“…”
Everyone exchanged glances with each other. Huang Xuehua was a woman who loved to stir up trouble. She was not good at any housework, but she was good at finding fault.
Shi Zhentang would definitely not play tricks with a woman, especially Huang Xuehua.
He was well aware of the other party's hostility towards him, but as a grown man, he didn't need to do that.
Then he heard his wife's calm voice: "Sister-in-law, your child is three years old. With such a huge disaster ahead, everyone is only concerned about survival, but you are thinking about the commendation meeting at this time. Aren't you too ignorant?"
This was the first time that Tian Yuzhu confronted Huang Xuehua head-on.
Normally, she felt that He Ziqiang and her husband were a leadership team and didn't want to make things too awkward.
Moreover, Huang Xuehua is a very shrewd person. She never stands up directly and only orders Feng Chun, that idiot. Now that she has stood up, she is looking for trouble.
Tian Yuzhu wasn't afraid of trouble. She was choked by a single word, her face turning red and then pale: "You... who are you saying has low consciousness?"
"You, are you talking about others?" Tian Yuzhu asked coldly.
"you……"
Huang Xuehua was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She was just about to grab Shi Zhentang and say, "Your wife is bullying me."
In the end, he left calmly.
If it were in the past, Shi Zhentang would definitely stay by her side.
But now that he knew his wife's true identity, he was worried for Huang Xuehua.
Huang Xuehua was stunned. The couple immediately stamped their feet and said, "Tian Yuzhu, you are the one with the lowest consciousness. You are a country bumpkin who can't even read a word. What can you talk to me about consciousness?"
"Who are you calling a bumpkin?" Tian Yuzhu rolled up her sleeves.
Shi Zhentang had already walked to the middle of the road, about five or six meters away from the military wives. He listened to his wife's words and looked down at his watch.
Nine forty, five minutes left...
According to the daughter-in-law's prediction, a carriage would come in five minutes, and the horse would be frightened and suddenly run away. When the wheels flew over, they accidentally hit a child playing on the side of the road.
Just to be on the safe side, Shi Zhentang asked the children to play somewhere farther away from the road.
If he took a few steps forward now, he would have to stop the carriage early.
But I heard that my wife seemed to be about to hit someone!
That won’t do. Although they may quarrel, beating a military wife is a different matter.
So he reminded her, "Yuzhu, talk less."
On the surface, he was trying to stop his wife in order not to offend anyone, but only Tian Yuzhu understood that he was afraid that her subordinates would not be careful enough.
Tian Yuzhu couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, today, for the sake of my man, I won't bother with you."
What?
Huang Xuehua's eyes bulged out. He was just teasing her. Bah, he thought he was so capable, but that was all.
She glared at Tian Yuzhu fiercely and was about to curse: "..."
Ta-da-da!
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and a carriage was rushing towards them at high speed. The horses seemed to be frightened, and the driver himself was so scared that he was at a loss, shouting loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Everyone was frightened at once. Seeing that the carriage was moving so fast, no one knew where it would go in the end.
Everyone quickly stood up and turned to run, except Tian Yuzhu who stood there nervously.
Shi Zhentang bravely turned sideways, stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped the reins, and finally, with the frantic help of the driver, he stopped the horse.
But the horse ran several meters from the time it started running to the time it stopped.
The handsome horse let out a long neigh and finally shook its hooves to calm down. Everyone patted their chests.
"Oh my god, that's scary!"
"If Captain Shi hadn't been holding the reins, we would have been in trouble."
"Yes, that's great. Fortunately, Captain Shi came to see Yuzhu today."
The driver quickly jumped out and thanked Shi Zhentang: "Thank you so much, soldier comrade! I don't know how the horse suddenly took off running. I guess there's something in the woods. Thank you so much, otherwise I would have been in big trouble today."
"Nothing, just go slowly on the road."
Shi Zhentang looked at his daughter-in-law meaningfully.
If you want to thank someone, you should thank that little woman.
On the other hand, he was really shocked by his wife's foresight. He didn't expect it to be so accurate, even to the minute and second.
Tian Yuzhu smiled knowingly and asked casually, "Zhentang, are you okay?"
"fine."
The young couple acted like they were flirting, not like they were worried or concerned about each other.
Fortunately, the military wives were busy calming down and comforting the children, so they didn't notice much.
The only person who saw this scene was Feng Chun. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Bah, vixen."
Look how completely captivated she was by her beloved Captain Shi. If Tian Yuzhu hadn't appeared out of nowhere, she would probably...
"Mom, you're swearing again." Dahu reminded in a low voice.
Feng Chun hurriedly defended himself: "Nonsense, I don't have any."
"You have... um..."
Erhu's mouth was immediately covered by her hand: "Don't talk too much, little brat, you know everything. When I get the pension next month, mom will buy you some candy."
The two little ones looked at each other and were instantly won over.
"Uh-huh!"
Nod and they will stop talking nonsense, and they will get candy.
…
After stopping the carriage, Shi Zhentang planned to return to the military region.
There is nothing more for him to do here, so the rest is left to his wife and the military wives.
Everyone said goodbye to him jokingly, but before they had taken a few steps, a car horn was heard behind them. The bus returning from the county town stopped by the roadside.
Li Shengli got out of the car and rushed to Tian Yuzhu without saying a word: "Sister-in-law, I want to thank you on behalf of Ding Weiwei's father. It was you who saved Ding Weiwei's leg."
What is going on?
For Ding Weiwei's father?
Tian Yuzhu had a confused expression, and Shi Zhentang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't have time to tell her about the relationship between Li Shengli and Ding Weiwei's family, so he went back and said, "Ding Weiwei's father is Shengli's junior high school teacher. He called the army yesterday and asked Shengli to go to the hospital to see Ding Weiwei."
