Chapter 080 Who do you look down on?
Lin Wanxia: "..."
As an independent woman in the new century, she really couldn't understand the concerns of squad leader Zhang.
Of course, apart from gossiping, she didn't care much.
What she cared about more was: "Wang Cuiping said she would go to your leader to make trouble tomorrow. What punishment will you get if she makes trouble there?"
Leaders can only manage their own soldiers and not the families of ordinary people.
Jiang Sinian was about to speak.
"You don't have to lie to me. Things will get to me sooner or later. You might as well tell the truth and I'll see if there is any solution. Anyway, even if you are punished, I won't get used to her." Lin Wanxia emphasized.
Jiang Sinian thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "It should be 20 strokes each."
Because they are more concerned about team spirit.
During training, some people have good grades and some have poor grades.
However, they will not favor those with good grades, at least not on the surface. They
will often put those with good grades and those with poor grades in the same group and rank them according to their total grades.
Most of the new recruits are young people, who are often passionate and energetic, and there is a high probability that they will fight.
Whenever this happens, they will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane, including those who just watched the fun.
At most, the one who fought will be punished with 10 kilometers, and the others will be punished with 5 kilometers.
So when Wang Cuiping made trouble to the commander, he and squad leader Zhang would be punished regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
"Don't worry." Jiang Sinian explained, "It's nothing more than corporal punishment, or each of them will write a self-criticism."
"What does corporal punishment mean?" Lin Wanxia asked to the end.
"Run five or ten kilometers, maybe? If not more, I'll just wash my comrades' socks and brush their shoes." It's no big deal anyway.
Lin Wanxia asked again: "How is your physical strength? Can you handle running ten kilometers?"
Jiang Sinian straightened his back subconsciously, "Who are you looking down on?"
Lin Wanxia smiled and asked back: "Are you sure it won't affect your promotion or your job loss?"
"Of course not. If this will affect the internal employment system, wouldn't it be a mess? What's the point of working hard to improve our abilities? Wouldn't it be possible to just let our wives and children go to other people's homes to make trouble and file a complaint, and solve the problem of our opponents?"
"In that case..." Lin Wanxia laughed happily, "Then you should be prepared to run a lot! I don't plan to get used to Wang Cuiping, and this matter is not over yet."
Jiang Sinian: "..."
"However..." Lin Wanxia pointed at the bedding that squad leader Zhang had just delivered, "You can return these to the grocery store and secretly give the money to squad leader Zhang. If he doesn't want them, you can find the address and send it to his brother and sister-in-law. Anyway, it can't return to Wang Cuiping's hands."
Jiang Sinian gave Lin Wanxia a thumbs up, "You are still smart."
He didn't expect things to be handled this way.
As for running, just run, anyway, it's five kilometers every day, it doesn't matter.
It's just that it would be a bit uncomfortable if he has to wash socks or something.
He decided to check his housekeeping frequently recently.
As far as he knew, every time he checked his housekeeping, his teammates would wash the dirty socks that had been accumulated for a long time.
"What are you going to do next?" Jiang Sinian asked curiously.
Lin Wanxia shrugged, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm tired and have no energy today, I'll think about it carefully tomorrow."
Wang Cuiping did not give Lin Wanxia a chance to think carefully.
Before dawn, she heard the sound of "bang bang bang" coming from downstairs, and the floor was faintly shaking.
Lin Wanxia opened her eyes suddenly. Was there an earthquake?
Looking sideways, she saw Xingxing sleeping soundly, and Jiang Sinian next to Xingxing had no intention of waking up. Lin Wanxia felt a little relieved.
If it was an earthquake, there would have been chaos outside, with people shouting and rushing out.
Since it was not an earthquake, then something must have happened downstairs.
Lin Wanxia listened carefully, and the bang bang bang sound was very regular. It
didn't sound like cutting vegetables.
No, this is the location of the bedroom. All this location on this building should be bedrooms.
Three or four in the morning? Regular movements?
Lin Wanxia gritted her teeth, thinking, could it be a building shaker?
There shouldn't have been such advanced stuff in the 1980s.
Jiang Sinian suddenly spoke up: "Were you woken up? You have to get used to it."
"Do you know what this movement is?"
"Yeah." Jiang Sinian still closed his eyes, "The sound of a long wooden stick tied to a hammer hammering the roof."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
It really is a building shaker.
But it's a simplified version.
Jiang Sinian narrowed his eyes and saw Lin Wanxia sitting there thinking about something. He blinked hard, became a little more awake, and sat up. "Are you unable to sleep because of the noise?"
Lin Wanxia shook her head, "Does she often use the building shaker to do this to you?"
"Huh? What building shaker?"
"Does she often hammer the ceiling like this?"
"Not too often. Because I'm not in the compound very often, Xingxing is not around when I'm not around. Xingxing is young and doesn't care about anything when she plays. Sometimes her toys fall to the ground or something, and she'll come to me if she makes any noise that annoys her.
I can't do anything about it. The child really didn't do it on purpose. She probably thinks that I don't care about the child and indulge him. Later she figured out this way to make us feel bad. It was really annoying at first, but there was nothing I could do about her. I'm a grown man and I can't argue with her. Besides, it's no use arguing and she won't listen. Later Xingxing and I got used to it. It's been a long time and it's quite hypnotic."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
Her determination to deal with Wang Cuiping became more resolute.
Jiang Sinian was afraid that Lin Wanxia would be wronged. "The building in the back is newly built, and its layout is more like that of an ordinary building. How about I apply for a house in the back?"
"No need. She will move if she wants to." Lin Wanxia lay back down. "Go to sleep first, and talk about it after you wake up."
She could fall asleep knowing it was not an earthquake.
This little noise did not bother Lin Wanxia.
When people are tired, this little noise doesn't matter.
Lin Wanxia not only fell asleep, but also slept until dawn, full of energy.
When she got up, Jiang Sinian and Xingxing were not at home.
Breakfast was placed on the table outside, and there was a note next to the bowl.
Jiang Sinian said that he went to work, and Xingxing went to the team with him to play.
Let her rest after dinner.
There was a bowl of rice porridge and a plate of pickled vegetables on the table, and there were two boiled eggs in a plate.
After washing up, Lin Wanxia sat at the table, eating a home-cooked breakfast, basking in the sunlight coming in from the window, and her heart was warm.
It seems... it feels really good to marry a soldier.
After breakfast, Lin Wanxia didn't rush down to find Wang Cuiping to trouble her.
As they walked, she asked for Jiang Sinian's work unit and asked Xingxing to go out to the city with them. They
were going to live here for a month, so they had to buy some daily necessities.
Jiang Sinian heard that she was going out, so he asked for leave to accompany them.
Lin Wanxia was embarrassed: "We don't have anything to do, it's not good to delay your work, right?"
"I have nothing to do these two days." Jiang Sinian shook his head, "Besides, we said we would hold two tables of banquets, so we have to go out to buy some wedding candy, cigarettes and wine."
