Yu Sui was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She called out politely, "Sister Guan."
Mrs. Guan hummed, "If it's true, how can you just let those people go? How about this? You write a report, and I'll mail it to the railway public security bureau on behalf of the army, telling them to punish the thieves severely. Do you have a pen? Write quickly."
Captain Jia, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke for the first time: "Changqing, forget it! The Public Security Bureau will handle it themselves. It's inappropriate for us to say anything."
Guan Weiqing didn't even bother to look at her face. She said, "Sister, I already told you, I got my watch back. There's no loss! Forget it!"
Sister-in-law Guan's voice rose. "How can we just let it go? It's because of your attitude that there are so many thieves. You should let them deal with it as soon as possible. I'm willing to help you, what else do you want? If I go and talk to them, they won't dare to refuse. Don't be so ungrateful. Hey, do you have a pen?"
That someone, of course, is referring to Yu Sui.
Yu Sui saw Xia Lin's hand moving and clenching into a fist. She quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his way. "Sister-in-law Guan, I'm not very literate. I'm afraid I can't complete such a difficult task."
Mrs. Guan tilted her head and looked at her for a long time, then said, "Oh, she's quite pretty... Well, forget it. I can't help her... I can only let her go. Then you can go back first."
"Of course. Thank you, Sister Guan, for your concern."
Yu Sui maintained a reserved smile, turned around, took Xia Lin's hand and left.
But when I got to the door, Sister Guan spoke again: "Wait, those gloves, they said you knitted them, knit a few more pairs for me and I'll give them away."
Yu Sui blinked her big eyes and asked, "What gloves?"
Mrs. Guan folded her arms across her chest and said, "These are the gloves in the bag Xia Lin brought. Don't you know?"
"Ah, there are gloves inside?" Yu Sui turned to Xia Lin'er in feigned confusion, blinked, and then said to Guan Saozi insincerely, "Oh, I see, Xia Lin'er bought them."
Mrs. Guan: "I was thinking, those gloves look so fine, they look like they were bought in a big city, how could they be knitted? And you lied to me that they were knitted, haha!"
"I'm sorry, but he knows that someone as clumsy as me can't come up with anything decent. He's just trying to smooth things over for me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed my sister-in-law, but it has to be store-bought to suit my sister-in-law's status. If there's nothing else, then we're leaving!"
After Yu Sui said this, Mrs. Guan waved her hand as a farewell.
Yu Sui pulled Xia Linbei and walked out quickly.
The two of them looked at each other only when they reached the main passage outside.
Xia Lin was very unhappy: "Why is this woman like this? Although everyone said she was arrogant before, I didn't expect her to be so arrogant. I thought you just arrived and she was eager to meet you and get to know you, but she acts like a bureaucrat's wife!"
Yu Sui looked around to make sure no one was around before she whispered, "Don't talk, go home first."
The two walked back home in silence. Yu Sui closed the door of the small suite and then pulled Xia Lin into the inner room to talk:
"Honestly, I also find that woman annoying. I never thought there would be such a family member in our army. The more this is the case, the more it proves that she must have a strong family background. You should quietly find out about it, so that you don't accidentally offend anyone in the future."
Xia Linbei nodded: "I understand. But you are smart and good at talking, otherwise you would not have to write materials, and you would have to help such a proud woman weave things. It's really unfair to you!"
Seeing that he looked very depressed, Yu Sui asked with a smile: "Hey, if she ordered me to knit for her, what would you do?"
"No!" Xia Linbei answered very straightforwardly: "I will tell her directly that my wife is busy at home and I can't knit!"
"Aren't you afraid of offending her? What if you get promoted in the future..."
"If I have to suck up to people like this to get a promotion, I might as well go home and be a clerk! I don't like the idea of having my wife suffer so much for this!"
Yu Sui felt sweet inside and walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek: "I love it when you say that! However, we don't know each other well yet, so there's no need to get into a conflict."
I don’t know if this guy heard what I said next, but since his wife kissed him, he must return the favor.
Xia Lin hugged Yu Sui and kissed her twice, then said, "Let's talk while we cook. This is a dormitory and there's a lights-out time. If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to wash up."
With the pickled meat brought from his hometown, Xia Linbei steamed a plate of it for Yu Sui on the stove in a short time.
The young couple ate while it was hot, and Xia Lin had to go to sleep in the dormitories in the back rows, fearing that if he went too late, it would be inconvenient to turn off the lights.
But the plan was so difficult to put into action. Xia Lin walked to the door but refused to open it. "I'll come early tomorrow morning, and after dinner, I'll take you to see Sister Yan Zi."
Yu Sui: “I understand.”
"I've left the fire burning. If it's too hot, put it out using the method I taught you."
"I know. I've said it twice."
"Don't be afraid at night. We are all comrades here. If anything happens, just shout loudly."
"Hey, how many times have you been like this? Go to sleep now. If you hadn't said it, you'd only be back today. You still have to go to the border tomorrow? Why don't you go to bed early?"
"It would be better if you didn't mention it. Now that you mention it, I'm even more reluctant to leave." Xia Lin walked back and hugged Yu Sui in his arms: "I'm back to the border camp. It will take at least half a month before I come back to see you. Sui, I can't bear to leave."
There was still some sadness in his words.
Yu Sui felt a little uncomfortable, but she let him hold her and said obediently, "I will work hard and try to stay a little longer."
Xia Lin was silent for a moment before responding, "To be honest, I like being in the frontier. I always feel that the country has raised us, so we should serve the country wholeheartedly. Otherwise, I should have retired earlier and returned home to take care of you. I am sorry for you."
Yu Sui: "Don't say that! Without soldiers defending our country, how can ordinary people live in peace? No, don't worry, I can make more than just rice cakes and candies. When Sister Yanzi finds out I can do other things, she'll keep me!"
"My wife is really capable. Well, since you're new here, you should take it easy. I'm leaving now."
Only then did Xia Linbei leave.
Yu Sui lay on the kang, still feeling quite fresh.
There are no kangs in the south, and this big kang is warm and spacious to sleep on.
Yu Sui sat cross-legged for a while, then began to clean up the recent harvest.
He had used the money he had obtained before to buy a motorcycle but suffered a huge loss. However, he made some money from selling Yu Qiu's bicycle, and there were also some miscellaneous income, including the one coin he got from lying that Aunt Luo had stolen his meat, which he sold for about ten thousand yuan. So Yu Sui still has nearly one hundred thousand yuan!
I have so much money, I really don't know where to spend it.
