Chapter 37 What else can we do?
Xiao Beiming was commended for his third-class merit.
Because his actual combat performance was brilliant, he saved a comrade who had accidentally entered a minefield, and he also ranked first in the previous exam.
Now you don’t have to change your career, as long as you get a bachelor’s degree, you will have the hope of promotion.
Sang Feiwan happily hugged Xiao Beiming's neck and flattered him for more than an hour.
At night, Xiao Beiming couldn't help but torment her until she was exhausted and fell asleep.
During the weekend, Sang Feiwan asked Xiao Beiming to take her to Chief Lu's house.
She wanted to thank Chief Lu properly, and Sang Feiwan had also thanked everyone else who had helped Xiao Beiming write the guarantee documents.
One taught the child to play the pipa, and the other gave two sets of clothes.
On the way to Chief Lu's house, Sang Feiwan also bought a bunch of nutritional products, such as soy milk powder, wheat oil essence, old rock sugar, old-fashioned cakes, cordyceps sinensis, and tea.
She bought everything she saw until she had spent all the money she had.
Just as he was about to get in the car, Xiao Beiming saw a store selling stuffed puppets and plush toys.
"There's stuffed toys for sale over there. What kind do you want? I'll go get it."
"No, we have no money, let's go."
"I still have five."
"I only have five dollars. You'd be crazy to buy a stuffed animal. You're not going to be able to make ends meet after this!"
After Sang Feiwan said this, she suddenly felt something strangely familiar, as if she had seen it online: "Spending five yuan on a meal? Are you crazy? I'm going to have trouble living like this!"
Others’ stories are just jokes, but hers are all about life!
Sang Feiwan sighed deeply, "Let's save this money. The Chinese New Year is less than a month away, and I have to give my mother-in-law some extra money during the New Year."
"If we go back for the Spring Festival, we'll have to spend money on travel expenses and buying New Year's goods."
"I just got some money from Lu Ci for my investment. If she doesn't take the initiative to give me dividends before the New Year, I won't be able to ask for more. I won't get the money from Tang Yong until July of next year."
It takes a long time for the project investment to be recovered, at least one year at the fastest.
"I'll go borrow some from my colleagues tomorrow," said Xiao Beiming.
Sang Feiwan said, "That's not necessary. You don't have to worry about the money. I'll take care of it."
"Making money to support the family is a man's responsibility. How can I ignore it and let you shoulder the responsibility?"
Sang Feiwan disagreed with what Xiao Beiming said.
But it's understandable.
Being responsible is also a man’s advantage. After all, men with this advantage are very scarce in the future.
So Sang Feiwan stretched out her finger and hooked Xiao Beiming's chin, just like teasing her fat orange dog at home.
This action is teasing.
At the same time, I said to him, "Hey, give me a chance! I want to support a handsome husband."
Xiao Beiming's face flushed instantly, but he said with a straight face, "Don't mess around."
We arrived at Lu's house half an hour later.
Sang Feiwan dragged Xiao Beiming and headed straight to Chief Lu's study. "Uncle Lu, my husband and I came to see you."
"I brought you some things. I didn't know what you would like, so I just bought some random things."
Lu Weiguo had seen a lot of things, but he was still shocked by the amount of stuff the couple was carrying. "Did you buy out the entire supply and marketing cooperative?"
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Thank you so much. Thank you for taking care of my husband."
Lu Weiguo stood up at this time and asked the couple to sit aside.
He called someone to pour in some tea.
After a long moment, Lu Weiguo looked at Sang Feiwan and slowly spoke, "You don't have to thank me. Captain Xiao was able to stay here entirely because of his own abilities. I've also notified the military district to distribute the books I gave him to others."
Sang Feiwan was stunned for a moment.
"I'm still waiting for you to find me after you find out, but it seems Captain Xiao hasn't told you a word."
This incident was so unexpected to Sang Feiwan that she looked at Xiao Beiming.
Then he looked at Lu Weiguo and asked, "Why did you do this? Do you hate me, so you were actually trying to appease me on the surface, but in your heart you were thinking about how to deal with me?"
People in high positions can never be threatened by small-time minions at the bottom.
Their style of doing things has always been to appear as steady as a rock and not get angry easily, but behind the scenes they can send their minions into ruin with just a flick of the finger or a few words.
But this shouldn't be the case.
Sang Feiwan had read in the original book that Lu Weiguo was grateful for the Sang family's kindness and had always taken good care of her. Even if she did something outrageous later, he never dealt with her behind her back.
Lu Weiguo replied calmly, "Of course not."
"No matter how you act, I don't mind. This is what our family owes you. As for Xiao Beiming, those who defend the country can be less educated, but they must not have bad behavior."
Therefore, his plan was just to test Xiao Beiming's character first.
If Xiao Beiming went back and told Sang Feiwan that he had distributed books to everyone who was going to take the exam, and that Sang Feiwan had come to him to make trouble, then Xiao Beiming would definitely not have kept her.
He did not reject Sang Feiwan at the beginning, firstly to appease Sang Feiwan; secondly, because he wanted to observe Xiao Beiming.
"So, my husband's character has passed the test?!" Sang Feiwan understood what Lu Weiguo said and immediately stood up excitedly.
Sang Feiwan quickly handed the teacup to Lu Weiguo and offered him tea respectfully, "Uncle Lu, have some tea."
"Thank you for not immediately getting rid of me when I was young and ignorant, and for not arbitrarily denying my husband because of my ignorance. Thank you for being willing to give him a chance."
Lu Weiguo was a little surprised, "You are not angry, blame me?"
According to his understanding of the little girl's temper, she pretended to be sensible and well-behaved on the surface, but in fact she had a hot temper.
The eldest lady had a bad temper and beat and scolded Xiao Beiming. He had seen it with his own eyes.
In fact, Sang Feiwan had shown that she wanted to give up and continue living a good life with Xiao Beiming. She even came to him to ask for the exam scope so that Xiao Beiming could pass the exam, and even threatened to commit suicide. All these made Lu Weiguo extremely surprised.
Sang Feiwan squatted in front of Lu Weiguo again, looking up at him, "Uncle Lu, I know I've been willful and ignorant, and I've made things difficult for you. You're an upright person, and you did the right thing."
"You are my elder, the one who watched me grow up. I also regard you as my father. You know that I am willful and ignorant and you will not punish me."
"I will never embarrass you again. I will be a good and obedient daughter."
Lu Weiguo sighed sincerely, "You, my child, have finally grown up."
At this moment, he thought that if Sang Feiwan's mother saw this face that looked so much like the deceased, she would definitely be comforted.
Sang Feiwan has grown sensible and found a husband worthy of her trust. He has done his best for the Sang family.
Sang Feiwan stood up again, snorted twice, and said, "But I still blame you. You've hurt my husband's heart. You must ask your chef to send me delicious food for a month!"
This is just a way of acting coquettishly, and it is also because she and Xiao Beiming are poor now and have no money.
She was worried about what to eat for her next meal.
Lu Weiguo laughed heartily and said, "That's fine!"
After visiting Lu Weiguo, Sang Feiwan and Xiao Beiming went back.
Of course, when she went back, she packed a lot of food in big and small bags.
When they got in the car, Sang Feiwan sighed with deep emotion, "It's true. No one who can reach a high position can sit there casually."
"It was a close call. Fortunately, you were so capable, husband, that you were able to escape danger."
"It's a good thing you didn't tell me that Uncle Lu gave books to other people."
Xiao Beiming helped her fasten her seat belt and said to her, "It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't let me read the book in advance, I wouldn't have been able to pass the exam."
He didn't tell Sang Feiwan, not because he was upright, but because Sang Feiwan had done enough for him, and he didn't want her to go to the trouble of threatening the leader for him.
Thinking back on this period, Sang Feiwan had gone to the head of the department to help him, taught people to play the pipa every day, and even stopped buying clothes to save money to pay the fine for his third brother.
"That's right, so you have to treat me better, okay?" Sang Feiwan was beaming with joy, her eyes full of smiles, and she stretched out her finger to poke Xiao Beiming's arm.
"Answer quickly and say you know."
Sang Feiwan urged him again, still poking him with her fingers.
Xiao Beiming looked at her like this, his heart softened and warmed, and he responded, "Yeah, okay, I understand."
"Actually, you've been very nice to me now. You should promise to always be nice to me and never change your mind." Sang Feiwan thought for a moment and continued.
Xiao Beiming looked at her intently, "Have you decided to spend your whole life with me?"
"Listen to what you say, what do you mean? It's only a lifetime, what can we do about it?"
Sang Feiwan said this to comfort Xiao Beiming and give him peace of mind. In fact, she had never thought about the future at all, let alone her whole life.
She lives one day at a time.
If there was a way to return to real life, she would definitely go back.
Xiao Laosan was sent to night school. He had one day off a week, so he would come back on the day off.
Mainly, he gave the snacks he learned to make to Sang Feiwan.
Let his elder brother and sister-in-law know that their tuition payment for him was not in vain.
"The honey cakes are delicious. You brought back too much. They will go bad if I can't finish them. Give some to your neighbors."
There is no refrigerator here, so the small cake can only be kept for two or three days at most.
Xiao Laosan listened to her, kept the beautiful ones for Sang Feiwan, and distributed the rest to other neighbors.
He also asked Fatty where there was any vacant land for planting, and he found a piece of land to plant vegetables.
Sang Feiwan was leaning on the upstairs window, sending Xiao Beiming to work, when she saw Xiao Laosan carrying a farming tool and going to a vegetable field a few hundred meters away from home.
So when Xiao Lao San came back, he asked him, "Do you want to farm? You still have to go to school, so you probably don't have time to farm, right?"
"I want to grow seedless watermelons for you, sister-in-law. The seedless watermelons you mentioned are probably only available abroad. I can't afford them and I can't buy them." Xiao Laosan touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"But I went to the city library to borrow some books. I'm trying to study the biology you mentioned. I'm sure I'll be able to grow the seedless watermelons you love in the future."
Sang Feiwan looked at him with great relief.
