Chapter 58
Lu Cheng felt his neck tighten, as if a knife was on his neck. The fatigue from the afternoon sparring was immediately scared away. He hurriedly said, "You did nothing wrong." His tone was firm and his determination was strong.
Lin gently raised his eyebrows: "Then if I don't get Qian Yuelan's apology letter tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the police?"
Lu Cheng swallowed his saliva. If he didn't answer this well, he would definitely get into trouble. Although he had little contact with lesbians, he grew up under the powerful aunt and had seen how the aunt acted in front of his uncle. So he answered carefully and cautiously: "There's no need to call the police. If the army's affairs attract the police, it will not be good for the army's reputation. And if the police interfere in the affairs of the army's family compound, they will be timid. How about I handle this matter?"
Lin Qingqing was actually trying to scare Chen Zhou's mother. Of course, she would not call the police. She also had to consider the reputation of the army. But although she was not going to call the police, she did not think about letting Chen Zhou's mother go. She would definitely report to the army. What she didn't expect was that Lu Cheng would take over this matter.
"No need, it's better for female comrades to solve female comrades' affairs. Male comrades don't need to interfere." She didn't want Lu Cheng to be affected by this matter.
"Yes, Daddy's problems are solved by Daddy, Mommy's problems are solved by Mommy, and the kids' problems are solved by the kids." Lu Haici suddenly said this.
Puff...
Lin laughed softly: "Do you still understand what we are talking about?"
Lu Haici certainly didn't understand, but it didn't affect him from expressing his own opinions. However, as a self-respecting kid, he certainly wouldn't admit that he didn't understand. He nodded in a serious manner: "I understand, I'm not a three-year-old kid."
"Then how old are you?" Lin teased him softly.
"I'm five." Lu Haici's eyes widened, a little surprised that his mother didn't know his age, "Mom, how old are you?" Then he asked like a little adult.
Lin Qingqing continued to joke with him: "I'm nineteen years old." His birthday is in February, so he is an adult.
"Wow, you're so old." Lu Haici didn't know that it was not a good thing to exaggerate the age of a female comrade. However, as a little boy, Lu Haici thought about his age every day. "Then how old is Dad?"
Lu Cheng, who was hit by his son's heart again, didn't want to answer. He was afraid that his son would say: Wow, you're so old.
Lu Cheng snorted: "You are so disrespectful."
Lu Haici blinked and was a little dazed.
Lin Qingqing also looked at Lu Cheng, not understanding the fragile heart of the "old man".
Lu Cheng continued to walk forward calmly, not giving them a guilty look. Deputy Head Lu is upright and strong, but his age is the fatal injury. He even thought that if Lin Qingqing went back to the future and he also lived in that future, then when they met again, she might be a child and he would be an old man.
Just thinking about it made him feel terrible.
So Lu Cheng walked faster.
Lu Haici was confused. He asked Lin Qingqing: "Mom, why did Dad suddenly walk faster?"
Lin Qingqing didn't know either. She thought about it and said: "Maybe people have three urgent needs."
Lu Cheng was walking in front and heard her words. He almost stopped, but he walked faster.
"What are the three urgent needs?" The little boy was very curious.
Lin Qingqing: "Urgent to pee, urgent to fart, and urgent to poop."
The little boy laughed when he heard it. "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom when I get home."
"It's a good app." After returning home, the three of them started to wash up. The hot water was heated by Lin Qingqing in the afternoon. However, when Lin Qingqing was about to take a bath, someone came. "Deputy Regiment Lu, is Comrade Lin here?" Lu Cheng was bathing his son in the yard. When he looked up, he saw Chen Daliang with Chen Zhou and Chen Zhou's mother. "I'm here." Lin Qingqing was filling the house with hot water. She came out when she heard the noise outside. She didn't need to guess that the person with Chen Zhou's mother and Chen Zhou was Chen Daliang. "Is that Comrade Chen? Hello." Since someone came to her house, she naturally greeted him politely. Chen Daliang said, "I am Chen Zhou's father. I am here to apologize for what happened to my wife and son." He glanced at Lu Cheng. He was a little nervous when Lu Cheng was here, for fear of giving Lu Cheng a bad impression. Although he and Lu Cheng were not from the same regiment, Lu Cheng was the deputy regiment commander and he was the battalion commander. Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Lin Qingqing said, "This matter has nothing to do with Comrade Chen. Comrade Chen is a hero of the people. He protects his country and naturally cannot take care of his family." Lu Cheng: "..." This sounded like the opposite. But he could not express his opinion. Chen Daliang did not expect Lin Qingqing to speak directly to Lu Cheng, or rather, he did not expect Lin Qingqing to speak so directly. He was certainly not a fool to be able to become the battalion commander. He knew his wife's faults, which were that she was a chatterbox and always gave money to her parents' home. But when it came to taking care of him and the children, and taking care of the household, she was impeccable. In response, Chen Daliang took control of the family's finances. He kept his salary himself, and gave Chen Zhou's mother some money for expenses every month, as well as an extra one or two yuan for pocket money. So he had control over money matters, but he still couldn't control this woman's mouth. In the past, he didn't take it too seriously. There were many lesbians in the family compound, and everyone had a big mouth. Men were afraid of them when they quarreled. He thought this was just a quarrel between women, but he didn't know that Lin Qingqing actually wanted to call the police, which was a big deal. In fact, he also felt that Lin Qingqing was making a big fuss, and the matter was not that serious. However, he felt that it was one thing, and he could not express it clearly. "Comrade Lin said that as a man, I did not take good care of my wife and children. It was my fault." Chen Daliang answered decisively, "So I brought them here to apologize." Lin Qingqing: "..." This man is so smart that people are speechless. He could answer her sarcastic words without changing his expression. It must be said that this man is tolerant. She did indirectly say that this matter was related to Chen Daliang. How could it not be related? Although it was his duty to protect the country, he didn't believe that he didn't know what kind of person his wife was. They had been married for so many years, but now that he knew, he didn't restrict or make her change. You are his problem. But the problem is that this man's direct admission and apology blocked all her words. For the first time, Lin Qingqing was speechless. "What's wrong?" Lu Cheng suddenly spoke.
Lin looked at him gently, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, with surprise. And a touch of emotion that she herself did not understand. When she was speechless after being answered by Chen Daliang, he spoke. This feeling was like when she felt cold, the sun suddenly bloomed, making her heart feel very warm.
Lu Cheng naturally felt her eyes, but he did not look at her, but at Chen Daliang: "We are soldiers, and it is useless to just apologize. We need to know where we went wrong in order to better solve the root of the problem. Comrade Chen Daliang, since you are here to apologize, do you know where you went wrong?" Lu Cheng said, and the whole person stood up. He looked calm, but with a sense of majesty. This is the spirit of a boss treating his subordinates.
Lin Qingqing's heart shuddered, but it was not fear, but a feeling that came naturally. It was the first time she saw him with such momentum. All along, Lu Cheng gave her the feeling of being cold and gentle, and he was a warm man. But at this moment she realized that this was a warrior who would go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and his momentum was strong and cold. But at home, he put away his sharpness.
Chen Daliang stood up subconsciously: "Deputy Commander, I know where she is wrong." Although Lu Cheng has not been in the army as long as him, Lu Cheng has received the most rigorous military education, not only has he been on the cruel battlefield. He was educated physically and mentally.
To put it simply, conscripts like Chen Daliang only know how to fight, and do not understand military philosophy or psychology. But military academy graduates like Lu Cheng are different. They have a wall built in their hearts that is tough and unbreakable. They
have studied psychology and know what attitude to use when facing different types of people.
Lu Cheng: "Speak."
Chen Daliang: "She shouldn't gossip everywhere, shouldn't spread rumors, and shouldn't destroy the unity of the family compound. She shouldn't even listen to rumors. She knows she was wrong, and I know I was wrong too. I will supervise and guide her well, so I come to ask the deputy head for forgiveness."
Lu Cheng looked at Lin Qingqing: "What do you think of this?"
Lin Qingqing had come back to her senses, and she also knew that Lu Cheng had brought the topic back. She said, "I heard Comrade Chen say that she shouldn't listen to provocations. May I ask, did she hear rumors? I believe that given Comrade Chen's professionalism and character, someone must have really spread rumors, so he said that, not just making up stories, right?"
Chen Daliang: "..." He didn't expect Lin Qingqing to shift the issue here. If he denied that there was no such person, then he was just talking nonsense and shirking responsibility. He is a soldier, and this is a taboo. But if the person who spread the rumor is revealed, then... Chen Daliang took a deep breath, "Yes, she heard the rumor from someone, so she said those unverified words."
Lin Qingqing: "Who did you hear that from?"
Chen Daliang glanced at his wife: "You tell Comrade Lin who spread the rumor in front of you and instigated discord."
"Yes... yes..." Chen Zhou's mother didn't dare to say it, but under Lu Cheng's momentum and Chen Daliang's gaze, she didn't dare not say it, "It was Yang Mailian."
Lin Qingqing heard it and couldn't help frowning. This Yang Mailian seems to be a troublesome person. But the problem is that Yang Mailian is Qin Ming's grandmother. Qin Ming and Lu Haici are good friends now, and they have fought together. If they quarreled with Yang Mailian, it would inevitably affect the friendship between Qin Ming and Lu Haici, which made Lin Qingqing feel a little embarrassed.
Lu Cheng said, "Write the apology letter and explain the matter clearly."
"I... I have never been to school, I can't read." Chen Zhou's mother was a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, Comrade Chen Daliang will write it for you, and also write clearly about Comrade Yang Mailian." Lu Cheng looked at Lin Qingqing again, "Let's leave it like this for now, okay?"
Lin Qingqing paused, for some reason, she was a little disappointed. "Just as you said, write the apology letter and make things clear, I won't pursue this matter." She calmed down, maybe she was thinking too much.
Chen Zhou's mother looked at Chen Daliang, and Chen Daliang gritted his teeth and said, "I'll write, and you put your fingerprints on it." What a bad thing that has happened to him for eight lifetimes.
Lin Qingqing returned to the room to get a pen and paper. Lu Cheng was still standing, but... Lu Haici pulled his father's clothes: "Dad, I'm cold."
Lu Cheng: "..." Taking care of Lin Qingqing's affairs, he forgot about his son who was halfway through taking a bath. Looking at the soapy water on his body, Lu Cheng gave him a rare sympathy. So, Lu Cheng squatted down and continued to bathe his son.
Chen Daliang looked at Lu Cheng with some surprise. It was hard to imagine that the soldier king who seemed selfless and cold on weekdays would actually bathe his son. Lin Qingqing quickly took out a pen and paper and said, "Comrade Chen, here you go."
Chen Daliang took the pen and paper, went to the hall, and wrote down everything that had happened. Finally, Chen Zhou's mother put her fingerprints on it, and Chen Daliang was the guarantor, guaranteeing the authenticity of the matter.
After writing the apology letter, Chen Daliang asked hesitantly: "Comrade Lin, how do you plan to solve this apology letter?"
Lin Qingqing said: "As long as Chen Zhou's mother stops chewing on my tongue, I will not make this apology letter public, but if I hear it once, I will make it The letter of apology was made public and handed over to the army leaders. I don't think Comrade Chen would be affected by it, right?" She knew that this meant forcing Chen Daliang, but if she didn't put some pressure on Chen Daliang, he would never know how disgusting Chen Zhou's mother was.
Sure enough, Chen Daliang's eyes darkened: "I know, don't worry, it won't happen again."
After Chen Daliang's family left, Lu Cheng took his son, who had just taken a bath and dried his body, to Lin Qingqing's room, and then came out: "Lend me the apology letter."
"What do you want to do?" Lin Qingqing gave him the apology letter and asked curiously.
Lu Cheng took the apology letter and asked back: "Just now I said that if Chen Daliang wrote the apology letter, this matter would be over. Are you a little disappointed with me?"
Lin Qingqing paused, then shook her head: "No, I originally planned to do so. I don't want to make things too extreme, I just want to have her handle in my hand." She did think so, but when she heard Lu Cheng ask this again, she couldn't help feeling a little wronged in her heart.
Lu Cheng heard her somewhat stiff tone, which was different from her usual enthusiasm. He knew that she was angry, but she didn't show it. Lu Cheng didn't want there to be any misunderstanding between them. Besides, he himself was not the kind of person who would hide a misunderstanding without explaining it. He said, "For the Chen family, an apology letter is enough for you to hold the handle. If you go on, it will be nothing more than Chen Daliang's wife apologizing to you in front of everyone, which is meaningless. However, this apology letter has controlled Chen Daliang's wife, and can also control Yang Mailian."
Lin Qingqing widened her eyes: "You..."
Lu Cheng: "I'll go out for a while. Since Yang Mailian was the one who started the matter, she must be taught a lesson." With that, he turned around and went out.
"Lu Cheng..." Lin gently held him. She didn't know why, but her eyes felt a little sad and she felt like crying.
Lu Cheng raised his hand slightly, but then clenched his fist and put it down. He said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. This matter will not affect me, and... if for my own sake, I ask my... ask my relatives to swallow their anger, then what is the meaning of my joining the army?" The words "wife and children" were forcibly suppressed and not spoken out. Then, he said to the house, "Lu Haici, Daddy is going out for a while. You are a man, you come to protect Mom."
"I'm coming..." Lu Haici had already put on his clothes and pants, and when he heard his father's words, he hurried out of the house. He came to Lin Qingqing, "Dad, I will protect Mom."
Lu Cheng touched his head: "Good job." Then he said to Lin Qingqing, "I'm going out." He walked crisply, with big steps, but also steady. Especially his back, tall and slender.
Lin Qingqing stood behind him, watching him gradually walk away. This was the first time that someone stood in front of her, willing to block everything for her. This feeling of being protected made her feel very good. It's not that she hasn't been protected by others, her grandmother also protected her. But the feeling of being protected by grandma is different from being protected by the opposite sex.
Grandma is an elder and a relative. When she was protected by her grandma, she was still young and didn't know how to be moved. But now, she has grown up and knows how to be moved.
Maybe because grandma is a relative, being protected by her is her due, so she lacks gratitude. But after growing up, she still chooses to take care of her and accompany her by her grandma's side. This is her way of repaying her grandma.
But Lu Cheng is not a relative, so being protected by her is not her due, which makes her feel grateful. And this gratitude makes her unable to calm down.
"Mom is not afraid." Lu Haici said, "If Chen Zhou's mother and Chen Zhou's father come again, and the father beats Chen Zhou's father, I will beat Chen Zhou." Lu Haici said with great momentum.
Lin looked at him gently, the young, not strong at all little cub, but it made people feel unexpectedly at ease. "Well, mom is not afraid." She seldom calls herself a mother in front of him, because she is not his mother. Even if she is willing to raise him like a son, she will not call herself a mother. But at this moment, she is willing to do so. Because... she really thinks Lu Haici is a little man.
Tears flowed uncontrollably, drop by drop. The strange world and the lonely heart were filled at this moment.
"Mom?" Lu Haici was startled, and his voice trembled a little, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" In his heart, only when you are sick will you cry. "Mom
's eyes hurt, rub them and it will be fine. You go to bed first, mom will go take a shower, and we will tell bedtime stories together later." Lin said softly.
"Mom, go take a shower. I'll sit in the yard." Lu Haici did not doubt his mother's words. He was a little boy, so of course he would not doubt his mother's words, but he liked to sit outside and wait for his mother.
Lin Qingqing did not object: "Okay then."
...
Lu Cheng took the apology letter and went to find Commander Qin first. If the in-laws and the Qian family were not in-laws, he would go directly to the Qian family. With his position, going directly to the Qian family would be different. But the Qin family and the Qian family are in-laws, so he has to take care of Commander Qin. Of course, he is from an independent regiment. The highest person in the independent regiment is the regiment commander. There is no brigade commander or division commander above him. He reports directly to the highest leader, so Commander Qin can't control him.
But Lu Cheng respects Commander Qin very much, and he doesn't want to bypass him on this matter.
The Qin family had just finished their meal and were surprised to see Lu Cheng coming.
"Commander." Lu Cheng saluted him, "I have something to report."
Commander Qin was stunned. Lu Cheng and he had no work intersection, and he had not yet reacted to the report.
"Lu Cheng, then you guys talk, Xiao Ming and I will go out for a walk." Zhang Hongping came to her senses first and took Qin Ming out. Zhang Hongping was very clear about this, she knew that things in the army needed to be kept confidential.
Lu Cheng nodded.
After Zhang Hongping left, Commander Qin invited Lu Cheng into the house: "Lu Cheng, please sit down, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lu Cheng did not speak, but took out the apology letter from Chen Zhou's mother: "Please read it."
Commander Qin felt that this matter was quite mysterious. He took the apology letter and waited until he finished reading it: "This..." Commander Qin was a little confused, "Lu Cheng, what does this mean?" Why couldn't he understand it? Commander Qin had never been involved in women's affairs in his life. He was the kind of man who protected his country and left the affairs of the family to his wife, so he didn't quite understand Lu Cheng's intention.
Lu Cheng would not beat around the bush in front of Commander Qin. He said directly, "I am a widower with a five-year-old son. My wife was wronged by marrying me. Now she is wronged again because of my affairs. I am very dissatisfied with this. I don't want to worry about my family in the family compound when I am fighting on the front line. Originally, I brought my wife and children to the army to make us feel at ease, but now, bringing my wife and children to the family compound makes me even more uneasy.
Moreover, Yang Mailian's rumor originated from my going to the hospital. How did Yang Mailian know about this? I only met an acquaintance at that time, that is Qian Yuelan. Your aunt told my wife that it was Qian Yuelan who told her that I had been to the gynecology department of the hospital, so it was Qian Yuelan who told this matter. As a nurse, Qian Yuelan disclosed the patient's condition privately, which is unprofessional. Teacher, I came to you today to respect you. What do you think you are going to do? "
