"My name is Kuang Guomei! You remember it, right?" Kuang Guomei stared at Jiang Lin.
Kuang Guomei?
Jiang Lin looked at the other person carefully. It turned out that he had a square face, a square chin and broad shoulders. If he hadn't had curly hair, he would have looked square.
Kuang Guomei looked at her proudly, "You remember it, right?"
Jiang Lin: “I don’t remember.”
Kuang Guomei was furious. "Jiang Lin, stop pretending here. I don't believe you don't remember. Back then, when Bian Haitao didn't want you, you cried and cried like you were dying. It's shameful!"
Bian Haitao?
Jiang Lin remembered, "Oh, you are the daughter of the school director."
She didn't know about Kuang Guomei, but she knew that the school director's daughter married Bian Haitao and that they used connections to join the army.
Jiang Lin felt a chill when she saw her expression that said, "Stop thinking about that excellent man of mine."
Kuang Guomei: "I don't know what means you used to get in through the back door, but I warn you, stay away from Bian Haitao. He didn't want you a long time ago, and now..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Lin interrupted her. "You said there was so much tender tofu and you didn't want to eat it, but you insisted on picking up the tofu dregs. Do you think the tofu dregs you picked up are so delicious?"
Kuang Guomei was stunned for a moment and didn't immediately respond to Jiang Lin's suggestion.
Jiang Lin did not give her a chance to savor the subject and continued to speak in rapid fire, "With his character, he abandoned his marriage partner in order to climb up the social ladder and used you as a stepping stone. Do you think it is honorable to be stepped on by him? I am not afraid to tell you that he can betray me and be with you in order to stay in the city, and he can also betray you and be with someone else in order to get promoted and make money. You are just a stepping stone, and he is a pile of tofu dregs. You have nothing to show off. Go wherever you want and don't bother me."
Kuang Guomei originally wanted to provoke Jiang Lin and humiliate her to feel superior, but Jiang Lin interrupted her and her face suddenly turned ugly.
Because Jiang Lin was so right, Bian Haitao didn't take her seriously at all.
When they first got married, he would coax her just to please her. Later, when she went to the army and was far away from home, her father couldn't do much to help her, and he took her less and less seriously.
In the past, she quarreled with him, said hurtful things to him, and accused him of thinking about Jiang Lin. At first, he said things like marriage and going to the countryside had nothing to do with them. Later, her father's influence became less and less, and he became more and more arrogant, especially after he got promoted, and even said that if Jiang Lin was willing, he would take her out of the countryside and raise her for life.
She used to make a fuss, but later she didn’t dare to do it at all because she was afraid that Bian Haitao would divorce her!
Seeing her face turning pale and blue, Jiang Lin thought she was going to lose her temper, so she said, "I don't remember you at all. You were the one who started the fight first."
Kuang Guomei hated her to death because she was her husband's first love and he always missed her. What was even more hateful was that she was different from other little vixens, and he just flirted with her and didn't take it seriously. Now he came to humiliate her, but she actually said she didn't know him. Isn't this the biggest humiliation?
Dabao and Xiaobao had been sitting there drinking sweet water and talking quietly. Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't say anything, the woman looked like she was going to eat someone. Dabao suddenly lost his temper, "Why do you always come to see my mother? My mother doesn't want to talk to you at all!"
He suddenly threw the bowl in his hand towards Kuang Guomei. Kuang Guomei was unable to dodge and was hit. She screamed and the bowl fell on the muddy ground and rolled, but it didn't break.
Jiang Lin was also surprised. Although Dabao was usually a little serious, he actually had a good temper, was polite to others, and was well-behaved and never naughty or mischievous. Why did he suddenly lose his temper today?
Kuang Guomei came to her senses and immediately stamped her feet and cursed: "How can a wild child from the countryside be so uneducated?"
Dabao rushed over and punched Kuang Guomei in the stomach, "Go away and don't come to my mom again!"
Kuang Guomei quickly stepped back and saw Dabao, a child of seven or eight years old, with an angry face and eyes glaring at her as if they were spitting fire. She even forgot to continue pestering him and turned away angrily.
Dabao said angrily to her from behind, "If you come and bully my mother again, I will beat you to death!"
Xiaobao immediately ran out to pick up the bowl, looked at it lovingly, and said to Dabao, "Dabao, what's wrong with you? You threw our bowl!"
Dabao seemed to know that he was wrong. He lowered his head and said nothing, but he stiffened his neck and refused to admit his mistake.
Jiang Lin was a little stunned for a moment. She had no experience in educating children. Her two children were very well behaved in the past, and even if they were a little naughty, they were not too naughty. So she had never encountered such a situation.
She hesitated for a moment and asked Dabao: "Dabao, why did you hit someone suddenly?"
Dabao: "I've wanted to fight for a long time!"
Beat Cheng Ruhai, beat Liu Honghua, beat Meng Yiyi, beat Bian Haitao, beat all the bastards who want to bully them, beat all the bastards who want to persuade her to leave!
Jiang Lin: “…”
Xiaobao pulled his hand and said, "Dabao, you can't hit people even if you are angry. The teacher said hitting people is wrong."
Dabao: I just want to beat them, I just want to beat them, I just want to beat them to death!
Jiang Lin smiled, walked up to Dabao and rubbed his head, "Why are you so angry? First of all, you should not get angry. When it comes to hitting someone, you have to see if you can beat them first. If you can't beat them, won't you suffer a loss?"
Dabao: I will fight even if I suffer a loss!
Jiang Lin: "Sometimes Mom can't control herself and has to beat up the bad guys. Dabao is a good boy and won't beat up innocent people, right?"
Dabao nodded: "Of course not."
"That's fine, but you have to protect yourself when fighting the enemy."
Dabao originally thought that she would criticize him, and was ready to be punished or spanked, but who knew that his mother didn't criticize him. Instead, he felt a little embarrassed and said to Jiang Lin: "Mom, you won't punish me?"
Jiang Lin: "Why should I punish you? If you hit someone for no reason, then mom will punish you. Today, that woman deserved to be beaten, so mom will not punish you. However, mom still wants to emphasize that beating people can't solve all problems, you have to use your brain."
Although she beat Liu Honghua and Wei Qiongfang, she felt that beating people would solve the problem, at least it would make them afraid to mess with her. But of course she couldn't teach a child like this!
Dabao doesn't understand any truth. Children are impulsive and have bad tempers. Even if adults explain something to them, they won't understand or remember it. Before he realizes it himself, the adults' reasons just go in one ear and out the other.
Anyway, if that bad man comes to see his mother again, he will beat him!
Even if you can’t win, fight!
Jiang Lin thought Dabao had understood, so she happily ended the question and joked with them, "Old people say that even dogs hate children of seven or eight years old. That's because children of seven or eight years old start to rebel, don't listen to adults, have their own ideas, are impulsive, and learn some uncivilized things. You can't do that, can you?"
Xiao Bao laughed and said, "Linlin is not a dog, Linlin doesn't mind."
Jiang Lin: “…”
Alas, it is impossible to explain the scope of “dogs too” to a child.
At this time, Cheng Rushan came over on a motorcycle. Xiaobao immediately pulled Dabao to run over, but Dabao didn't move. Xiaobao ran over by himself and climbed onto the motorcycle, "Dad, you are amazing. You can drive a car and a motorcycle."
Cheng Rushan lifted his arm and put him in the truck bed. "When you grow up, Dad will teach you. Don't touch the keys."
He stepped down with his long legs and walked over to look at the mother and daughter. The atmosphere was a little subtle. "What's the matter?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Nothing."
She said to Dabao, "Come and help mom get the things so that we can go visit grandpa and grandma."
Dabao glanced at Cheng Rushan and said, "Dad."
Cheng Rushan put his big hand on the top of his head and squeezed it, "What's wrong?"
"I lost my temper."
Cheng Rushan's eyes darkened, "You got angry at your mother?"
Dabao shook his head, "No."
Cheng Rushan: "All men have temper, but they cannot vent it on their mothers and wives."
Dabao nodded, and seeing that Cheng Rushan didn't criticize him, he went to help get the things.
Dabao and Xiaobao sat in the car, Jiang Lin packed up and briefly told Cheng Rushan what happened.
Cheng Rushan frowned slightly, "Leave it to me."
Cheng Rushan took them to Jiang's house on a motorcycle. The road was wide and there were few cars, so he went very fast.
Today is Xu Aimei's day off, she is washing clothes and cleaning at home. Since moving to a bigger house, the family has a lot of space, and the daughter and son-in-law have built a kang and a stove for them, so they sleep very comfortably in winter, and Jiang Erge is in much better health, and he didn't cough as badly last winter as in previous years.
When she heard the sound of a motorcycle outside, she thought it was Lu Hang. Then she heard Dabao and Xiaobao calling "Grandma" in clear voices.
Xu Aimei went out to greet him happily, "Moving here?"
Dabao and Xiaobao went over to greet their grandmother, holding her hands and talking to her affectionately.
Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan came in together, bringing some food.
Xu Aimei: "Don't take anything when you come here next time. Come back whenever you want. Don't be so formal."
If there were some grudges in the past, or like the neighbors always grumbled that a daughter after marriage is an outsider, it is best not to come back for dinner, and when she comes back, they have to consider whether she brings too much. However, Cheng Rushan has always been generous to his Yue family. Xu Aimei no longer has such an idea. Instead, she wants them to save money. It is not easy to move to the city to live.
She took some snacks and apples for Dabao and Xiaobao.
Cheng Rushan let Jiang Lin and Xu Aimei talk while he went out for a walk.
Jiang Lin told him to just go. She guessed that Cheng Rushan wanted to visit Fan Huiyuan and her friends, say hello, and visit old lady Mo. The old lady loved him very much, and Lu Hang would mention him specifically in his letters.
Xu Aimei cut an apple for Jiang Lin to eat as well. She said, "Your second brother is much better now. Someone will introduce him to a date in the spring."
Eat well, don't get sick, and you'll be in better shape. Jiang Erge has a good foundation, is tall and good-looking, and even if he doesn't have a formal job, as long as he's healthy, there are girls willing to marry him.
Jiang Lin was happy for her second brother, "It would be great if it works."
Xu Aimei: "It's just that I can't even work. If I had a formal job, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Jiang Lin said: "Don't worry about work. The policies are getting better and better. My second brother has a good temper and skills. What can't he do when the time comes?"
Since the 1980s, as long as you are diligent and persistent, you can make money by setting up a street stall.
Jiang Lin felt that it would not be a bad idea for his second brother to be a self-employed person. He could save up some money and then open a shop. This would be a place to make a living. He didn't need to become rich, but a comfortable life would be enough.
Jiang Lin was not a wealthy person in her previous life. What mattered most to her was that her family lived happily together. So even though she traveled through time now, she didn't have the idea of getting rich or becoming a wealthy person.
In her previous life, she had met many people, some of whom were worth hundreds of millions, but she saw that not all of those men and women were happy, and some even complained that they were not happy after becoming rich. Of course, she would not really believe it. If you are not happy with money, at least you still have money. If you are not rich, you may not be happy either. Poor couples are always sad. But it is undeniable that there are more temptations after becoming rich, and people just can't resist temptations.
So she thinks it's good to live a comfortable life, not worrying about food and clothing, not aiming too high, living a down-to-earth life and enjoying small happiness every day.
She is very happy now.
Xu Aimei smiled and said, "You are right. I see a lot of people doing speculation here now. As long as they don't use big objects that are too eye-catching, no one will care."
Jiang Lin said, "Mom, please ask my elder and second brothers to buy more parts to assemble the radio. There is a great shortage of parts in the countryside right now."
Throughout the 1980s, radios, bicycles, and sewing machines were extremely popular in rural areas, and a bicycle repairman could support his entire family.
Xu Aimei: "Can it work?" It's fine to assemble for my daughter's family, but if I resell it, wouldn't that be a crime? And I'll lose my job as a temporary worker. Although she said that she was jealous of the speculation and profiteering, but deep down she still looked down on it. After all, everyone looked down on speculation and profiteering, and the policy also criticized it. It's okay to talk about it, but she still hesitated to do it.
Jiang Lin knew what she was thinking. It wasn't just Xu Aimei who was like this. Most people were like this nowadays. In the 1980s, when someone made money, those who didn't make money and were still poor would look down on them behind closed doors and say that they came from shady backgrounds and were shameful.
"Of course. If you're afraid, just give it to me first. I'll let Brother Shan take it back and put it in our supply and marketing cooperative. This is legal, right?"
Seeing her daughter speak so openly, Xu Aimei seemed to be doing nothing wrong, so she smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try."
Buying parts from the factory is always more convenient and cheaper than buying them from outside. I just did it in the name of my second brother, after all, the eldest brother’s official job cannot be affected.
In the evening, Qinqin, Xiaoke and Xiaoluo came back from school. Dabao and Xiaobao immediately had playmates and they played together.
Jiang Lin helped Xu Aimei cook. Soon Jiang Dongjian and Song Lijuan came back. They were very happy to see Jiang Lin and the children. Song Lijuan hurried to grab a fish.
As they were talking, Cheng Rushan, Lu Hang, Qian Bo, Jiang Xinglei and others came over.
They were carrying meat, fish, eggs, and noodles, and as soon as they entered the door they said, "Aunt Xu, we're here to eat."
Whenever Cheng Rushan came, Lu Hang and Qian Bo would look for him. Jiang Xinglei found it very strange because Qian Bo was obviously very afraid of Cheng Rushan! Lu Hang was a fool. When he saw his brother-in-law, he kept asking about Linlin and how Linlin was. Jiang Xinglei wanted to beat him up, but his brother-in-law was not angry. Instead, he answered his questions seriously.
What a bug!
Lu Hang was so excited when he saw Jiang Lin, "Meilinlin, long time no see, did you miss me?"
Jiang Lin: "Miss you, showy? What kind of pants are you wearing?" Lu Hang was wearing bell-bottom pants. Two years later, all the men in the streets and alleys of the city started wearing these pants. They were bright red, pink, and burgundy. They were as cute as they could be. With a perm and big sunglasses, he couldn't be more fashionable.
Lu Hang was very proud: "Is it nice? I'll get one for Brother Shan too, it's made in Hong Kong!"
Jiang Lin's face changed: "Stop it! You are not allowed to call me Brother Shan!" That is my exclusive name.
She glanced at Cheng Rushan and was glad that he wasn't wearing Lu Hang's bell-bottom pants, which were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Cheng Rushan smiled at her and signaled her not to worry.
Qianbo is relatively quiet. He has given up on Jiang Lin and started going on blind dates. Unfortunately, he can't help but use her current self as a benchmark to measure the girls he goes on blind dates with. He thinks she is not good in this way and that way. He has dated many girls, which made his parents very angry and they said they would not care about him if he continued to behave like this.
He looked a little sluggish.
Those who were admitted to the university naturally had a lot to talk about when they met. Jiang Lin did not have a work unit, and would be reassigned a job after graduation. Those who left work units basically continued to receive their wages and food coupons, and returned to their original units after graduation.
Of course, after going to college, you will become a cadre when you come back!
Finally, Big Brother Jiang and Second Brother Jiang came back together, both carrying a bunch of spare parts in their hands. Second Brother Jiang was very happy. Although Big Brother Jiang was still calm, his eyes were brighter.
They were especially happy to see Jiang Lin's family there.
Brother Jiang said, "I got a lot of discarded parts. If you pick them out, they can be used to assemble several four-tube radios."
A few stations are enough in the countryside, no foreign stations are needed, four triodes are already good enough.
Brother Jiang smiled and said, "Dabao and Xiaobao are really lucky stars. As soon as they arrived, they brought good news. Your uncle's salary has increased."
Song Lijuan was so surprised that the fish slipped out of her hand and she asked hurriedly, "How much is it now?"
Brother Jiang smiled and said, "Not much, eighty-six dollars and fifty cents."
Jiang Xinglei and the others were envious. "Brother, you are a level 10 worker now? 86.5, I only make 30!"
The tenth-level worker is the highest level of skilled workers. When he is promoted to the next level, he will be an engineer. He graduated from the provincial university, so he is more than qualified to be an engineer.
Xu Aimei and Jiang Dongjian were also very happy. Their eldest son used to live a muddle-headed life, but he suddenly became smart in the past two years. He knew how to think about his family and strive for his job. Especially when Linlin got into college, it seemed to be a bit of a stimulus for him. He not only took the initiative to help, but also contacted teachers and classmates again later.
We should also thank Cheng Rushan. Whenever he comes, he will chat with his eldest son if he has time. Although the old couple don't know what they talk about, they know that every time after chatting with Cheng Rushan, the eldest son is in good condition. Now he is full of energy and spirit. Although he is still not so talkative, he smiles more.
Brother Jiang has become motivated and energetic, and Song Lijuan is the happiest. Although he was very nice to her before, she always felt that there was a layer between them and she couldn't touch his heart. Now, if she says ten sentences, he can respond with three or five sentences, and he will also take the initiative to chat with her.
So she was more affectionate to Jiang Lin, Dabao and Xiaobao, and asked her daughters and sons to entertain the little guests well.
Jiang Lin told his eldest and second brothers about the radio, "Brother, can't you increase your production speed? There is a huge demand not only in the city but also in the countryside."
Brother Jiang thought about it. The production line of their factory could not keep up with the production speed. Not to mention the countryside, even the supply in the city was not enough.
"Our technology is too backward. We need to introduce foreign technology, but we don't have enough foreign exchange."
This is a very realistic problem. At present, there are very few things that can be produced in China, and they cannot be exchanged for foreign exchange. After finally saving enough, we want to introduce a certain production line, but in the end we are still being fooled. People don't give us advanced and good technology, but those obsolete old products from the 1930s and 1940s.
Jiang Lin said: "Brother, you are technicians. You may not be able to reform the entire production line, but you can still reform practical problems one by one. I believe in you."
Domestic technicians and researchers have never been worse than others, but they have accumulated too little in the past and their theoretical foundations have been damaged. However, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and the improvements made in production and life will also change many aspects from small to big.
Brother Jiang's eyes flashed with excitement. The factory's policy was changing. In the past, it only focused on politics and ignored production technology, but now it has begun to lean towards production. He didn't need to campaign, and the salary he deserved was raised, which was evident.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will try our best."
Jiang Lin encouraged them to keep working hard. If they didn't work hard, they would be eliminated sooner or later. In a few years, foreign electronic products shipped from open ports such as Shenzhen would quickly seize the domestic market, destroy some factories, and cause a series of problems.
Although the general trend is irreversible, we still need to work hard.
Maybe if we work harder in advance, there will be a different outcome?
They discussed setting up a joint sales outlet, planning to expand Jiang Lin's embroidery products, as well as some specialty products brought in by Cheng Rushan, plus radios, glass, hardware, etc.
Lu Hang was idle all day, but he was able to make a living. Ever since he got close to Cheng Rushan, he wanted to follow Cheng Rushan in his work. For him, it was so cool to bring cloth and cotton to the south, and then bring tea and other good things from the south back. He didn't even want to go to technical secondary school.
Unfortunately, Cheng Rushan refused to let him follow because Cheng Rushan felt that Lu Hang was too erratic. It was okay to let him play around and do unimportant things, but if he was given a very important task, no one would be able to take the responsibility if something went wrong.
After all, transport business is not a child's game. Duan Changan and Zhu Junjie can do it, but Lu Hang can't.
Setting up a reselling and distribution outlet at this time would suit Lu Hang's wishes just fine, so that he wouldn't be pretentious.
After dinner and chatting for a while, they said goodbye and returned to the military compound.
Xu Aimei was also worried that since they had just arrived, the children of cadres in the compound would bully Dabao and Xiaobao, so she wanted to find a connection to allow the two children to study here.
Cheng Rushan just said it was okay. Although he seemed to be doting on his children and always accommodating their requests, he would not easily compromise on certain matters. For example, some problems had to be solved by the children themselves, and the troubles of growing up had to be faced by them themselves.
His own life experience tells him that life will never be smooth sailing. No matter how well you do, there will always be people who look down on you and dislike you. How do you deal with all kinds of people, some good to you and some bad to you?
These are not just about listening to others, nor are they just about relying on parents' protection. They need to be explored and understood step by step on their own. Only after falling will they remember and develop useful principles of doing things that suit them.
They returned to the dormitory at night. Cheng Rushan looked next door. It was dark and no one was there. The door was still ajar.
Cheng Rushan turned on the stove to boil water, and the room soon became warm.
Jiang Lin sorted out the things her parents had given her, which were mainly daily necessities and food, including a few kilograms of noodles and eggs.
Dabao said to Xiaobao, "Let's go upstairs and sleep."
Cheng Rushan has already raised the fence, and Dabao sleeps quite well and won't fall down.
Xiaobao thought it was fun to climb up and down, so he agreed. The two brothers climbed onto the upper bunk, leaving the lower bunk for their parents to sleep on.
Dabao remembered something and took out a black clay pot they bought and placed it under the tree roots opposite. If he got up again at night, he would go there to pee. After cleaning up, he ran back to sleep. The child played like crazy during the day and basically fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow at night.
Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan packed up and went to bed early. Since they couldn't sleep, they chatted and discussed their future arrangements.
When the night was quiet, she listened to all kinds of noises coming from the next door and even the next door, snoring, loud talking, footsteps, and even the clacking of garlic. You guys really have something to do this late at night.
Jiang Lin lay in Cheng Rushan's arms, rubbing against him with evil thoughts.
Cheng Rushan: “…”
Jiang Lin whispered in his ear and seduced him with a pinched throat, "Do you want it?"
Cheng Rushan: I can't stop thinking about you when you speak normally, and you still tease me like this, look at what you are capable of.
Jiang Lin flirted with him for a while, and found that he was already very tense, but still did not move, which made her admire him. She smiled and said, "Dear Shan, your will is as strong as iron, go to sleep." She was just flirting with him with bad intentions, but she didn't have the guts to do it, after all, there was no sound insulation.
As soon as she finished speaking, he pressed her down and kissed her, rubbing her until her whole body became limp and she began to moan.
Cheng Rushan kissed her lips to block out all the sound.
Jiang Lin lowered her voice and begged for mercy: "People will hear us!"
The dormitories are next to each other and there is no sound insulation. If someone sneezes loudly at one end, you can hear it here.
Cheng Rushan said in a hoarse voice, "Keep flirting?"
Jiang Lin: ...I don’t dare anymore.
Then she listened to the next door, the next door, and the next door. Why was there no movement? Before, there was clearly some people smashing garlic, kicking and stomping, sneezing and talking, yawning and farting, and all kinds of things. Why was there no movement now?
All fell asleep in one second? Not good!
Cheng Rushan, who had been teasing her, stopped moving, kissed her, threw off the quilt, got up from the bed, and went to open the door in his slippers.
The moon wasn't out at this time, the lights in the dormitory were off, and it was dark outside.
But Cheng Rushan still saw a group of men outside their dormitory, hunched over and sticking their heads out, as if they were eavesdropping on a bridal chamber affair.
It seemed that no one expected him to suddenly open the door and come out. Everyone was startled and immediately pretended to get up at night, pass by, or take a walk, yawning, and some people greeted each other, "Oh, what a coincidence, are you peeing too?"
When they were having dinner this morning, they heard He Liang say that a young couple had just moved in with them. They were very handsome and had two handsome sons. Wow, the young couple was so loving.
They are all wolves who are in love with the fifth girl. As soon as you hear it, you will understand what love means. No matter how straight a man is, he can't tell the difference in the clothes women wear. If you say something about someone, he will definitely come up with a bunch of dirty jokes.
As long as a young couple moved in, even if they did nothing, in their eyes it was a place of revelry every night, and they were very jealous of Cheng Rushan.
So, Cheng Rushan’s first thought was: Damn it, I can’t live here!
Around seven o'clock the next day, Jiang Lin, Dabao and Xiaobao were washing up at the door.
Xiaobao: "Mom, where's my dad?"
Jiang Lin: "Let's go get some food." Cheng Rushan had been feeling very depressed these past two days. He didn't dare to stay near her in the morning and got up and went out around five o'clock.
Dabao rinsed his mouth with a gurgling sound and went to check his own urine can. He was about to take it to clean it, but he immediately shouted, "Who filled our urine can?"
Xiaobao also ran over to see, oh my god, he was so angry!
At this time, He Liang came over with a bun in his mouth, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, Dabao and Xiaobao, go and see!"
He had a special liking for Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan. After he had gossiped about Jiang Lin in the morning, he became even more friendly with them now.
Jiang Lin: "He Liang, what are you looking at?"
He Liang smiled and said, "Brother Cheng is competing with someone."
Jiang Lin was a little puzzled. Cheng Rushan was not a person who liked to show off. He was very low-key. Why did he compete with others? He was not an active soldier. He was a member of the transport team and had no training mission.
Dabao and Xiaobao were so excited that they ignored the urine pot and pulled Jiang Lin to see it.
They followed He Liang to the playground. The playground of the military compound was just a decoration on weekdays. After all, there was a military camp behind it and training was done there. The military compound in front was either filled with cadres, logistics or family members. Only the guard company and sentries here trained here.
The rows of dormitories where Jiang Lin and the others live are their territory.
When they came to train in the morning, they found Cheng Rushan there. His movements were crisp and clear, and his strength was controlled freely. He had both the endurance of holding back and the explosive power of punching like a tiger, fully demonstrating the beauty of strength. This successfully aroused the dissatisfaction of seven or eight young men, who wanted to compete with him.
Among them were the young men who lived next door to them, Zhao Quanyou, He Changjiang, Du Qiang, Bie Dongshan, Fang Chengguang and He Liang were also there.
Fang Chengguang just went there to exercise, while He Liang just strolled around to watch the fun and have breakfast.
He Changjiang and his group of young men, who were in their teens and full of energy, were eager to make trouble all day long. Seeing that Cheng Rushan had just arrived and was tall, handsome and had a beautiful wife, they were jealous and could not help but find fault with him.
"Hey, are you Cheng Rushan from the transport team? The transport team also practices this? Do you dare to compete?" He Changjiang was sweating and stared at Cheng Rushan arrogantly.
He Liang was a big mouth, so when he saw someone getting into trouble, he wanted to help mediate. "He Changjiang, you are capable. Why are you looking for someone outside the staff? If you have the guts, go find us, Chengguang."
I can’t beat you up.
Cheng Rushan had already been running for 40 minutes and doing various exercises for another 40 minutes. It was estimated that Jiang Lin would get up and go to get food. He wiped his sweat with a towel and planned to put on his cotton jacket. Hearing this, he raised his thick eyebrows and looked at He Changjiang: "What are you competing for?"
They had already annoyed him by eavesdropping yesterday, so even if they didn't make trouble, Cheng Rushan would find an opportunity to get to know him.
Zhao Quanyou also came over and started to cheer: "Military boxing!" He Changjiang got an excellent grade in military boxing, which was considered top-notch in the military camp. This was the only event in which he could compete with Fang Chengguang.
He Changjiang glanced at Cheng Rushan: "Do you dare?"
Cheng Rushan: "Put on some airs and let's see."
He Changjiang did not do the preparatory move, but instead performed a side kick with double arms to show his elegance and proficiency.
Cheng Rushan frowned slightly, "Are you performing to earn money?" It's just a show.
He Changjiang was immediately enraged. "Hey, who are you, kid? Are you looking down on me?"
Cheng Rushan: "You treat military boxing as gymnastics? That's good. Sorry, I can't keep you company." He put his cotton jacket on his shoulders and turned to leave.
Seeing that he actually dared to look down on him, He Changjiang immediately forgot his initial contempt for provoking him and rushed forward with a punch, "Come on, let's see how powerful you are!"
Cheng Rushan heard his fist coming, but he did not dodge. Instead, he leaned forward and instantly raised his leg to kick He Changjiang hard.
His legs were naturally longer than his arms, and his strength was so great that He Changjiang had to parry his kicks.
Fang Chengguang saw that Cheng Rushan did not defend but attacked, and all of his moves were military boxing moves, each of which was powerful and as fast as thunder. He Changjiang was no match for him at all. After five moves, He Changjiang could not resist, but Cheng Rushan did not let him embarrass himself and left him room for maneuver.
Fang Chengguang: "He Changjiang, stop embarrassing yourself!"
As he spoke, Cheng Rushan's toes had already kicked He Changjiang's throat, frightening Zhao Quanyou and others so much that they shouted, "Stop!"
However, when Cheng Rushan's swift and fierce kick was about to hit He Changjiang, he suddenly withdrew his force, and the force disappeared like a drop in the ocean.
"Good!" Fang Chengguang applauded. In fact, there are no specific moves in martial arts. The purpose of training is to be able to fight and resist being beaten, to be able to counter the enemy's moves, and to break through the enemy's weaknesses as soon as possible to win. Being able to protect yourself and attack the enemy is a good martial art.
There is also another most basic yet most difficult requirement: the ability to control and release force freely!
In addition to being able to punch as hard as a tiger, you also need to be able to control your punch. Controlling the force you exert is much more difficult than punching hard.
He Changjiang's face changed. He almost felt the fierce force hitting his neck. The next moment, his throat would definitely be broken by that brutal force!
The other party showed mercy!
He Changjiang's legs went weak and he almost fell down. Zhao Quan grabbed him.
Bie Dongshan was not convinced, "You have to be able to fight and run. Can you run fast?"
Cheng Rushan: "I'm not an athlete, I'm just an average runner."
Bie Dongshan wanted to compete with him because his 100-meter speed was very fast. To be frank, he could compete with any athlete.
Don't go to Dongshan to compete in the 100-meter race.
Cheng Rushan said calmly: "Let's compete after you do fifty push-ups." He estimated the opponent's physical strength and had no intention of embarrassing him, nor did he deliberately consume his leg strength.
Bie Dongshan's mouth twitched.
He Liang: "Dongshan, don't be shy, fight!" He likes to watch the fun and is not afraid of big trouble.
The result was that Bie Dongshan’s short-distance escape skill, which he was proud of, was not better than others.
Fang Chengguang knows, however, that some soldiers with excellent physical fitness actually have more explosive power than athletes. For example, in the 100-meter sprint, their short-term speed is comparable to that of a 100-meter champion, but they do not focus on just that one item.
He was very curious why Cheng Rushan, who was so capable, was in the transport team.
He watched Cheng Rushan beat He Changjiang and the others to a pulp. This kid was really amazing, and his physical fitness was so good that it made people jealous.
Zhao Quan was still unconvinced. How could a transporter be so capable? Who was he? If he was so capable, would he need to live in a dormitory?
You are so awesome, why are you still doing transportation? Why don't you go to the back and be a regiment commander? At the very least, you can be a company commander! I don't believe it! They must weigh Cheng Rushan's weight.
"Let's fight in teams!"
"Do you dare?" Although He Changjiang felt that it was unfair to win against one opponent with more than one opponent, he was still somewhat unwilling to accept it and always wanted to find an event to suppress the opponent.
Cheng Rushan raised his eyebrows. Apart from the fact that he didn't eat breakfast, there was nothing wrong with him.
He wanted to say he would come back after dinner, but Fang Chengguang, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, sneered, "Your face is thicker than the calluses on the soles of your feet!"
Bie Dongshan shouted, "Chengguang, don't just stand there and watch. You are number one in combat training, so go ahead!"
Fang Chengguang snorted coldly: "You are so handsome, why would I go for you? Don't turn me off!"
Don't laugh at those people from Dongshan.
He Liang had already brought Jiang Lin and the others to watch the fun, and was explaining to Jiang Lin, Dabao and Xiaobao, "Brother Cheng is amazing. Look at that horizontal bar. He did 80 of them without getting red in the face or out of breath."
"He Liang, which group are you with?" Zhao Quanyou called him, "Brother Cheng, your ass is moving pretty fast."
He Liang smiled and said, "I'm in the same group with my sister-in-law, Dabao and Xiaobao. Just admit defeat and don't embarrass yourself. Don't you know your own weight? If you were as powerful as you think you are, wouldn't you be the platoon leader in the back?"
He Changjiang and his group were a small group, and they wished to make Fang Chengguang the leader, but unfortunately he was not keen. He Liang and Fang Chengguang were brothers, so he was naturally not afraid of them and often made fun of them.
Dabao and Xiaobao were extremely excited and kept cheering for Cheng Rushan.
“Come on, Dad!”
“My dad is the best!”
Cheng Rushan performed physical training such as fighting, sprinting, and horizontal bar. He Changjiang and others were impressed and even challenged him to a shooting competition.
Cheng Rushan: "I'm sorry, I've never practiced shooting."
When he joined the suicide squad, it was already a peaceful period. There was no large-scale war, and there was no need to use guns casually, so there was no condition for practice. Of course, he knew how to use a gun and his accuracy was good, but he had not received much professional training.
He Changjiang and his friends thought they had discovered his weakness and insisted that he agree to it.
Fang Chengguang said: "It's okay, I'll go with you to the shooting range to practice some other day. You can beat them in two days."
He Changjiang: "Chengguang, you look down on others too much."
He Liang laughed loudly, "It's what you deserve! You have no shame!" How can you be so capable of eavesdropping? He didn't blame himself for talking nonsense, but only blamed them for blocking the door and window and eavesdropping.
Cheng Rushan said to He Changjiang and the others, "As logistics personnel, your physical fitness is already excellent."
Not only did these words fail to comfort the other party, but they made He Changjiang and the others feel like they had eaten a fly - they were transferred from the military camp in the back.
This is so damn embarrassing. Am I too weak or is the other party too strong?
Cheng Rushan said goodbye to them and went to get food. He walked up to Jiang Lin, Dabao and Xiaobao and said, "You must be starving."
Jiang Lin: "No, we cooked porridge, heated up steamed bread slices, and have cakes. There's no need to eat in the cafeteria." She took a towel and wiped the sweat off the back of Cheng Rushan's neck to prevent him from catching a cold from the cold wind. She also asked him to put on his cotton jacket as it was still very cold here at the beginning of the Waking of Insects.
Everyone saw the couple chattering as if no one was around. The previously cold Cheng Rushan was so soft in front of his wife - the kind of love between men and women that the passionate young people looked down upon the most! To them, a real man must have a woman, but a woman is just a foil and a necessity, and cannot hinder a man's ambitions!
Cheng Rushan left with his wife and son, and He Liang immediately followed them to have a free meal.
He just saw the fried sauce that Jiang Lin took out, which was sandwiched between steamed buns and mixed with noodles, and they were all very delicious.
"Hey, Chengguang, you really give him face. He is just a transport team leader." He Changjiang and the others were a little unconvinced. They grew up together with Fang Chengguang, and Fang Chengguang had never taken the initiative to treat them like this. He Changjiang couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
Fang Chengguang: "Fortunately he is only the transport captain, otherwise you would have had a chance to fight him? Why are you not convinced?"
A few of Zhao Quan's men started to make a noise: "Chengguang, if you didn't make a move, we wouldn't have completely lost!"
"Yes, unless you compete in the next round."
Fang Chengguang waved his hand indifferently: "I admit defeat. I can't beat him."
Just like what Cheng Rushan said, their boxing skills look good, but they are just for show, just fancy moves, and have not been tempered in the face of life and death. Cheng Rushan learned the moves to kill people, or rather, he did not learn the moves, but the essence of fighting, how to protect himself and kill the enemy. Even the simplest moves, with power and speed, can kill people.
Moreover, he saw murderous intent in Cheng Rushan's eyes. It was not the arrogance of young people who refused to admit defeat like He Changjiang and others, but a real desire to fight.
This kind of temperament is very attractive! Especially to those who are competitive and never admit defeat.
Jiang Lin and the others returned to the dormitory and had millet porridge, steamed bread slices, dumplings, boiled eggs, and a small bowl of noodles. They took the noodles out and boiled them in cold water, then mixed the noodles with hot sauce.
He Liang got a bowl of noodles, looked up and saw Fang Chengguang coming over, and said with a smug smile: "Chengguang, you are late."
Dabao and Xiaobao were very enthusiastic and said to Fang Chengguang: "Uncle, we will sleep on your bed and treat you to some noodles."
So Fang Chengguang got a bigger bowl of noodles, and half a boiled egg from Dabao, which made He Liang very envious. It wasn't about the half egg, but why didn't these two kids give it to Fang Chengguang instead of themselves?
I obviously talked to them a lot, and told them stories and gossip! At the playground, they all called me Uncle He and were so affectionate!
Hey, they just think Fang Chengguang is good-looking and do things based on his appearance. How can they be so smart?
Hearing that they were going to go through the enrollment procedures for Dabao and Xiaobao after dinner, He Liang said, "Today is Sunday, and the school is closed. You don't know, the teachers in this compound are lazy. There are no classes on Saturdays, and there is no one today. I'll take you to talk to the principal and arrange it directly."
The teachers of the military district primary school were assigned from outside schools, but the principal was their logistics cadre, Director He of the Health Department, who concurrently served as the principal.
Fang Chengguang said, "We can't eat the kids' noodles for nothing. I'll take them there."
He Liang chuckled, "Then the He Changjiang River will flood."
