Chapter 174 A little more than liking
Lin Wanxia’s feelings at this moment were too complicated to describe in words.
She knew the greatness of soldiers, but this was the first time she knew the pain in their hearts. She knew
the greatness of military wives, but she didn’t know the burden of being a military wife until she married Jiang Sinian.
She didn’t doubt Jiang Sinian’s words at all.
If the gunshots really rang out, when everyone fled in panic, the man next to her would definitely rush in the direction of the gunshots in the first place.
Lin Wanxia suddenly felt that the hustle and bustle was boring.
Jiang Sinian was tired after a week, and the family finally got together, why should they waste time here looking at others? !
Lin Wanxia turned to Jiang Sinian and said, "Let's go home!"
"Don't want to watch it?"
Lin Wanxia nodded, "There's nothing to see. They are openly resisting the police, and they will all be detained in a while, and then released in the end." What
she wanted to see more now was the man next to her.
As usual, Jiang Sinian drove Lin Wanxia to buy some food and drinks.
He said that he wanted to reward Jiang Sinian.
Seeing Jiang Sinian rushing to pay again and again, Lin Wanxia teased him, "Didn't you say you don't mind being a gigolo?"
Jiang Sinian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Wanxia, "I don't mind people saying that I'm a gigolo, but it's different from me really being a gigolo. Besides, it's a man's responsibility to support the family. You are capable and you are excellent. But I can still afford your food and accommodation."
His salary is also among the best in the island city, three figures a month!
The company provides meals, schooling for the children, and housing. It's
just that Lin Wanxia is too good.
Lin Wanxia chuckled.
It's hard to make a male chauvinist willingly accept being told that he's a gigolo, isn't it? !
He just likes me.
Or maybe, now he's the same as me, a little more than liking me.

At noon, they didn't eat enough at the Jin's house, so Lin Wanxia's family of three had dinner early.
Steamed shrimps, sweet and sour pork ribs, chicken stewed with potatoes, and a dish of green seasonal vegetables, three dishes and one soup.
In the evening, the weather was not hot, so Jiang Sinian moved the small square table used for dining at home into the yard.
The family of three sat around the table.
This scene is common in other people's homes, but rare in Lin Wanxia's.
The chickens and ducks all clucked around them, craning their necks to look at them curiously.
Jiang Sinian kept raising his lips, "When I change my job, we will live like this. Raise some chickens and ducks, and a puppy or a cat. When we can go out to sea, we will go out to sea. If we can't, we will just have a vegetable garden at home and lie side by side in the yard to bask in the sun."
Lin Wanxia, who originally dreamed of becoming the richest man in the world, imagined the scene Jiang Sinian said and agreed with a smile: "Okay!"
Only Xingxing was angry: "I raised the chickens and ducks!"
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Lin Wanxia laughed.
The chicks were all hatched by Lin Wanxia and Xingxing using light bulbs. Later
, Lin Wanxia was always at sea, and it was Grandpa Sun who helped Xingxing feed the chickens and ducks.
Xingxing has a deep affection for these chickens and ducks.
During the Chinese New Year, Lin Wanxia wanted to kill a chicken for him to eat, but he didn't agree.
However, Lin Wanxia has always been curious. If she really killed a chicken or duck to cook for Xingxing, what would Xingxing do?
Would he cry with heartache and say it was delicious? !
Lin Wanxia was just thinking, Jiang Sinian said directly: "Well, the chickens and ducks you raised are quite fat. When we kill them for meat, I'll give you a big chicken drumstick."
Xingxing burst into tears, and while crying, he stood up and walked out with the chickens and ducks, "You guys go! Run for your lives! Don't let my dad eat them."
Lin Wanxia was overjoyed. This bustle was much more exciting than the bustle of the Jin and Gao families.
Jiang Sinian curled the corners of his lips, watching Xingxing running away with the chickens and ducks, and suddenly said to Lin Wanxia: "You raised Xingxing so well!"
Lin Wanxia said modestly: "His parents have good genes."
Jiang Sinian smiled and nodded, "Didn't I tell you about his parents?"
Lin Wanxia actually heard it once from his leader, but still nodded.
He was willing to talk about Xingxing's life experience, which meant that he accepted her from the bottom of his heart.
Xingxing's father was Jiang Sinian's comrade-in-arms, and the two had always been partners. Xingxing's father even saved his life before he died.
And Xingxing's mother died because of giving birth to him.
Xingxing is a posthumous child.
When his father died, his mother was only two months pregnant, and everyone in the family asked her to abort the child and remarry.
It was his mother who insisted on leaving him with a child.
Jiang Sinian is not a person who shows his emotions, even when telling a story like this his expression and tone can be considered calm.
But Lin Wanxia saw the pain in his eyes, and his clenched hands showed that he was not so calm either.
Lin Wanxia reached across the table and patted Jiang Sinian's hands twice, "People can't look back! We must raise Xingxing well."
Jiang Sinian tilted his head and looked through the gap in the fence at Xingxing who was already playing with the neighbor's children, "Yeah. He looks more like my comrade-in-arms."
People who usually don't like to talk can't stop talking once they open their mouths.
Jiang Sinian told Lin Wanxia the story of how they once fought side by side.
That his comrade-in-arms was a weapons expert.
That he always showed off that he had a partner and then laughed at Jiang Sinian for being a bachelor.
When talking about the stars in the sky, Jiang Sinian's eyes were also full of stars.
Jiang Sinian rested his elbows on his knees, his hands naturally down, his head hanging down, and his back, which had always been straight, was now bent.
Lin Wanxia saw the water drops falling from his feet and being quickly swallowed by the soil.
The blood and tears of soldiers are behind them, and the blood and tears of military wives are even more behind them.
They are all great.
And she is very honored to be able to walk side by side with him.
Of course, Lin Wanxia's tenderness towards Jiang Sinian only stopped at night.
This bastard became a monster again once he took off his clothes.
He had to torture her until she cried and begged him.
When she really cried and begged him, he became even more aggressive.
Before Lin Wanxia fell into darkness, she swore that if she sympathized with this man again, she would be a dog.

The farm was completed before the seafood restaurant.
Because many breeding equipment were prepared in advance by Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia handed over the fish, shrimps and algae suitable for growth here to the local people.
Lin Wanxia was already a celebrity in the fishing village of the island city. Everyone knew that she offered high wages, and many people signed up to be workers.
But Lin Wanxia finally chose two people to look after the fish farm, one was a lame old man and the other was a middle-aged woman.
The lame old man was a retired soldier who had been to North Korea.
The middle-aged woman was once a military wife.
The reason was that her husband died.
After listening to Jiang Sinian's story, Lin Wanxia made up her mind that she would give priority to hiring veterans or military dependents in all her businesses in the future.
The military wife was recommended by Jiang Sinian and his team, and the veteran was from the fishing village where Lin Wanxia was.
The more delicate prawns have to wait for Xie Lijun to cultivate a large number of seedlings before they can be raised.
The decoration of the seafood restaurant will take some time to be completed, mainly because the decoration materials are often in short supply.
Lin Wanxia, who had not been to sea for a long time, arranged these, jumped on her Princess, and led everyone to conquer the 246 sea area again.
