Chapter 35: Liang Shuhuai's face immediately turned ugly after hearing what Secretary Zhao said. He had a reason for actively applying to the commune to run a primary school. His son told him that he

He could only think positively, that the educated youth was educated and good-looking, and her son would definitely be good-looking and smart, and have a family in the city, so he might have a good future.

If she could get a teaching quota, the family would live better.

But after all the trouble, he didn't expect Secretary Zhao to say such a thing.

Liang Jinxi's father, Secretary Liang, had done him a favor, and the two families had always had a good relationship. He had no problem giving a quota to Lin Zhiqing, but which brigade had a primary school, and the teachers were sent from the commune? At most, they would stay for a month or two, and then leave after teaching the new teachers in the brigade.

Liang Jinxi glanced at Liang Shuhuai, and then said to Secretary Zhao: "No need to give it to her. She is now thinking about running this textile factory well and feeding everyone. Let the team decide the teacher's quota."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

But who can see any clues from his face?

Secretary Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well, well, it's worthy of you to choose the object yourself, Jinxi. This character is really not an ordinary girl."

After speaking, he patted his head again and smiled, "Look at me, just because she refused to go to Shitan Brigade at the beginning, I know she is an extraordinary girl, Jinxi, you are really, how can you find such a girl, really."

How beautiful, the old landlord's daughter who was carefully raised in the past is not as beautiful as this girl.

She is also sweet and knows how to behave, and she is devoted to Liang Jinxi.

It's amazing...

Liang Jinxi stood with a smile.

His expression was gentle, but he didn't have the shyness of an unmarried man talking about his girlfriend.

To put it nicely, he was steady.

To put it bluntly, he was thick-skinned.

He was proud in his heart.

He also felt that his girlfriend was really hard to find anywhere, but she just happened to be here.

*****

On the way back, Liang Shuhuai feltLiang Jinxi thanked him excitedly.

Liang Jinxi smiled and said, "She is running a textile factory this time, thanks to your support, so it is only right for her to give up the teacher's quota to other people in the team."

Who is Liang Jinxi?

He hasn't been back to the village for two years, but after returning to the village for two days, he basically knows everything about the village and the commune.

He also knows that Liang Shuhuai's son has taken a fancy to a female educated youth.

There was a commotion last night.

But he always finds women's affairs troublesome.

Even if he didn't have a partner before, he saw many in school and in the military family compound.

... In this kind of thing, there are always people who are willing to fight and people who are willing to be beaten.

So he never says much about this kind of thing.

Liang Shuhuai was a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head and said, "Okay, just because of what you said, we will support this textile factory. When we go back and start work tomorrow, we will have people clean up the warehouse."

During this period, Liang Jinli didn't say anything.

However, after he and Liang Shuhuai separated in the brigade, he said after coming out: "Jinxi, the factory matter is a big deal, but no one knows what will happen now. No matter what, how can it compare to the position of a teacher? And shouldn't we discuss this matter with Lin Zhiqing?"

Perhaps because Liang Jinli has always been upright, Lin Shu is very close to Aunt Hu Zhou Xiuhong, but has always been polite to Liang Jinli.

Lin Shu calls Liang Jinli "Captain Liang", and Liang Jinli also always calls Lin Shu "Lin Zhiqing".

Liang Jinxi smiled and said: "It's okay, she said that she is not interested in this teacher quota, I think she is also suitable for running a factory."

Being a teacher is easier than doing farm work, but it is not easy.

It's not like he hasn't taught students before. There are only two teachers in a class of students. They have to talk non-stop and teach those things over and over again. Most people are afraid that their throats will get hot after teaching for two days.

Besides, he saw her writing and drawing, her little brain was very clever, she should like things with more flexibility.

So he could understand what she said last night.

Liang Jinli suddenly realized.

It turned out that his brother had talked to someone a long time ago.

He smiled and said, "So that's it, then you have talked about it, have you talked about when to get married? You know, mom is very anxious, and if you get married, will you take her with you to the army?"

Liang Jinxi still said the same thing: "Let's talk about it after we come back from Xizhou City."

Thinking of what she said last night, and the way she looked up at him last night, Liang Jinxi's mouth corners rose.

Liang Jinli didn't care after hearing what his brother said.

His brother has always been a man with his own ideas, and he must have known what he was thinking.

*****

The next day, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the two set off for Xizhou City as soon as the car was opened.

There were few cars and many people during the Chinese New Year, and the road was difficult to travel on snowy days. After several bus trips, it was almost dark when we arrived at Xizhou City.

After taking a bus from Xizhou City Station to the vicinity of Song's house, Liang Jinxi suggested: "It's too late, let's find a guesthouse to stay and eat something first."

The two of them had been traveling all day and had not had a good meal.

It was not a good time to go directly to Song's house.

Lin Shu nodded without hesitation.

After spending a few days together, and the fact that he seemed to be silent on the way, but in fact he was always very thoughtful, but kept a certain distance to take care of her, she already trusted him very much at this moment.

Liang Jinxi took Lin Shu to a guesthouse near Song's house and asked for two rooms.

The two had complete letters of introduction, and Liang Jinxi was a soldier, so although the two aunts at the front desk looked at them a few more times, they still didn't say anything and opened a room for them.

Just before the two turned around and walked to the stairs, the two people at the front desk behind them started chatting.

"This couple looks really good, like movie stars. They booked two rooms. Are they brother and sister? That PLA comrade looks good. I wonder if he has a partner?"

An auntie said.

"Don't even think about being a matchmaker. They have different surnames, so they are definitely not brother and sister. Even if they booked two rooms, they came out alone to visit Xizhou City. They must be engaged couples. And don't you look at them? The way the girl smiled at the PLA comrade just now was enough to make you fall down."

The auntie who just received the two said.

Lin Shu was climbing the stairs. When she heard this, her foot slipped on a step and she stepped on empty air and sprained her leg. If Liang Jinxi next to her hadn't seen her and grabbed her with one hand, she would have probably rolled down the stairs.

There was a sharp pain in her foot.

Then, the two damn aunts behind him said, "Oh, it's true. They haven't even entered the room yet, and they've already carried him up. Oh, if they weren't PLA comrades, we should report them."

"Come on, they're an engaged couple, why are you reporting them? Besides, these PLA comrades are usually in the army. It's probably not easy for them to see each other. Can't you be considerate?"

"That's true,"

Another one muttered, "But I think the age difference between them is a bit big..."

This time, Liang Jinxi, who was supporting Lin Shu, froze.

He lowered his head and said, "Did you twist it?"

Lin Shu shook his head and put his hand on his clothes to stand up, but he felt a sharp pain in his feet as soon as he exerted force.

Feeling her hand pressing on him suddenly exert force, looking up and seeing her face in pain and tears in her eyes, how could he feel anything?Don't understand?

He bent down and reached out to lift her trouser legs, but there was a layer of trousers underneath, and then there were thick socks underneath...

He gave up, stretched out his hand and pressed gently, and Lin Shu cried out in pain.

He said: "I'll carry you... upstairs."

Lin Shu: "No, no need, I can walk!!"

He saw her biting her lip.

He looked down at the stairs again.

It's just a staircase, where can it sprain?

Okay.

Lin Shu waited for the pain in her foot to ease and then helped him stand up.

Unfortunately, determination alone is useless for some things. She endured the faint pain and raised her foot to step on the upper step. There was another sharp pain, and she gasped with a "hiss".

Liang Jinxi was speechless.

He walked down two steps silently, and then said: "This is the first floor, there are two more floors. Even if your ankle is not seriously sprained, it may become more serious if you walk two more flights of stairs. Do you want to stay in the guesthouse and not be able to do anything tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Come up."

His tone was really that kind of, "You sprained your ankle, why are you being so pretentious?"

Do you really take the words of the old lady seriously? ...That kind of thing.

...Lin Shu really wouldn't have any misunderstandings about him.

These days, especially on the way to Xizhou City, he has always kept a distance from her like revolutionary friendship. Whether it is physical distance or tone of language, it will never make people think too much.

If you are shy, then you are really being pretentious.

Lin Shu exhaled.

Turn around and silently climb onto his back.

Lin Shu has been carried by others for many years.

She lay on his back, feeling so embarrassed that she even ignored the pain in her feet.

Because of his tone and attitude, she didn't think about anything else, let alone any romantic thoughts. She just felt that how could she be affected by the words of two aunties. She sprained her ankle while climbing the stairs... He had done his best to accompany her to Xizhou City. If she caused more trouble, even if he didn't say it, she would feel uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I was careless just now, and,"

When she finished the second flight of stairs, she finally said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those two aunties. I didn't mean to say anything about you... They have eye problems."

After thinking for a while, she added in a low voice, "I will pay attention in the future."

"It's okay."

He said, "Just be careful outside."

It's okay with him, but you still have to keep a distance with outsiders.

Lin Shu couldn't say anything more.

I was so suffocated.

He carried her all the way to the third floor. When she reached the door, she wanted to come down, but he opened the door with one hand, then kicked it shut with his foot. When he came to the bed, he put her down and sat on the bed, saying, "Sit for a while. I'll get a towel and some cold water. I'll check your feet later and give you a cold compress." He went to the bathroom. Lin Shu heard the sound of water, and she looked down at her feet. He said he wanted to check them for her, and she couldn't wait for him to take off her shoes and socks. She took a breath, stretched her legs, took off her shoes, put her feet on the bed, and took off her socks. She saw that her ankle was swollen a little, but it wasn't serious. It was really painful when she moved. Liang Jinxi came out and saw her bare white jade-like feet, frowning and biting her lips, pressing her ankle with her thumb. He sat forward and held the foot without hesitation. He paused and said, "Don't press it. If it's really sprained, the more you press it, the worse it will be."

After that, he stretched out his hand to push her hand away, touched her ankle, and squeezed it evenly, probably to see how badly it was injured, and then directly wrapped the wet towel in his hand around her ankle.

Lin Shu screamed "Ah" and suddenly retracted her foot.

... It was winter, and the towel was as cold as ice.

He held it tightly and said, "It's okay, just bear with it. You must apply cold compress first. I will help you rub other parts later, so you won't get frozen."
