Chapter 183 Expressing One's Feelings



"He's a divorcee, yet he has such high standards."

"It seems this person has some problems with their thinking!"

"So Lao Wang plans to keep him under control for a while to see if there is any room for improvement and if he is still usable. If not, he will probably be transferred back to civilian life soon."

"Did Commander Wang mention Shen Xi? Ever since Xiao Shen and his wife left, we don't know how the Shen family children are doing now."

"That's pretty good. Old Wang admires him a lot. In order for Chen Xi to have a better future, he's been keeping him in check, planning to polish him up a bit more."

"That's good"

Only after receiving the letter from Beijing did she realize that the isolation of her by the commune members was all orchestrated by the Gu family.

When Deputy Commander Han learned of this elsewhere, he was furious and said to his men:

"Give Gu Yunpeng some serious training and observe whether he's any good."

"yes"

"Deputy Commander Han, who is this Gu Yunpeng to you?"

"It's alright, it's just an old friend's child who's been assigned to work in their production brigade. Here's a letter, you can take a look."

"This isn't a good idea!"

"It's alright, just keep watching."

"How could this be? Deputy Commander Han, don't worry, I will definitely observe Gu Yunpeng carefully."

"If Gu Yunpeng is a good candidate for the army and there are no other problems, then train him well. If not, then give up on him as soon as possible."

"yes"

When Commander Wang learned that Li Mianmian planned to come to Tongshi to work in the countryside, he was quite happy. When he learned that she had chosen Hongqi Commune, Xiangyang Brigade was even happier.

When Hongqi Commune was located in Xiangyang Brigade, it was right next to the commune in the east of their military region, not far from the city at all, only about 30 kilometers away.

Furthermore, the Xiangyang Brigade has a good geographical environment and other aspects.

The area is backed by mountains to the west and flat land to the east, now mostly farmland. The only downside is that the terrain is higher in the south and lower in the north, but this isn't a problem for Xiangyang Brigade. Every household in the production team has their houses built at the foot of the mountain, so they don't get flooded during rainy days.

It's not far from the commune, only a dozen or so miles away, so it's convenient to go anywhere. Besides, if anything really happens, you can just go up the mountain to the military region, which is very convenient.

However, knowing that the child did not intend to live with the other educated youth, he could understand and asked his subordinates to arrange it. Besides, it was not a difficult matter.

When they learned that Xiangyang Brigade had a ready-made empty house, they were even happier. They quickly asked the logistics department to buy the house and have them bring a few people to renovate it.

"Third Brother, you mean we can go to Xiangyang Brigade soon?"

"yes"

"The military commander said that a military vehicle will be passing through Fusong County in five days. They can give you a ride to Hongqi Commune on their way, so you won't have to worry about moving anymore."

"I can't accept this."

"The commander said you've made a great contribution. Besides, this car just needs to make a few more turns; it's no trouble at all."

"Alright then, I'll definitely thank you properly later, Commander."

"Then I'll go get the necessary documentation for the subsidy in the next few days, and then I can transfer it to Tongshi."

"yes"

"There's nothing else to do, so I'll just stay home and pack my bags."

"Want me to stay and help you?"

"Aren't you supposed to be leading troops in training?"

"It won't take up these few days' time!"

"Let's forget about it! Don't let it interfere with your work, or others will find fault with you."

"Oh well"

"Mianmian, what do you think of my brother?"

"What? What did you say? What do you mean, Third Brother?"

"No, it's nothing. By the way, what are you planning to bring with you, or are you taking everything?"

"I'm just not sure if we can take everything from the car. If we can, then we'll take it all; otherwise, we'll have to buy everything when we get there."

"Then let's take them all with us."

"Will it work?"

"Sure, no problem. This train is delivering supplies to other parts of the city, so it'll be empty on the way back. We can just take it all back for you."

"That's good. Take the firewood from the yard with you then."

"Are you really not planning to stay?"

"Why should we? If we could just leave the wall untouched, I would have pulled it down myself."

"All right"

"By the way, Third Brother, how much did the houses in Xiangyang Brigade cost?"

"Not much, 200 yuan."

"200 yuan is not a small amount."

"You'll have to give the money to your unit's leaders later."

"The commander said that money is a reward for your meritorious service last time."

"That won't do. One thing at a time."

"Then you can talk to the commander yourself later."

"I just don't know what the house is like."

"I don't know about that, but the logistics department has taken care of everything for you, so you can rest assured and stay here."

"That's really good."

After my third brother left, I packed my things while thinking about the questions he might have asked.

What do you think of my brother?

"How is it?" Oh my god, he doesn't mean to ask if I have feelings for him. Good heavens, what's going on? Why would he ask that? And when did he even have these thoughts? I'll have to ask him properly later.

But then again, I'm already 17 years old today (by Chinese reckoning). In this day and age, people can get married at 18, and if you're not married by 20, you're considered an old maid. I didn't see Gu Cuicui. Last year, Gu Cuicui was just over 20, and the men who came to propose marriage were all divorced men with children. If she could find a military officer with a child, she was considered very lucky.

In other words, I need to start planning for myself from now on.

Putting everything else aside, I definitely wouldn't date someone from the countryside. Even if it weren't for the college entrance exam, just returning to the city would be a problem. Also, nowadays, very few people from the countryside finish high school, which means communication would be an issue.

Another major reason is that I definitely wouldn't want to live with a large family; it would be both troublesome and inconvenient.

Also, the third brother is a good person, and he's the best-looking of all the brothers in the Shen family.

We grew up together, and we understand each other well, both good and bad. We have the same lifestyle, so there's no need for us to compromise or make things difficult for others.

The day before the move, my third brother came again. "You keep taking leave to come over every few days. Don't your comrades have any objections?"

"Everyone was quite happy to hear you were moving to Tongshi, and even said they could challenge you to a competition."

Who told you that?

"Commander Cheng and Commander Qian both said that when you were capturing the enemy deep in the mountains, you were so agile and swift that you even managed to tear your clothes open."

"All right!"

"By the way, Third Brother, could you answer that question you asked me last time?"

"Say what?"

"Why are you blushing? Shouldn't I be the one blushing?"
