Chapter 13

Three days later, it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Liang Jinxi returned home in the heavy snow.

After graduating from the military academy, he went to the border special forces and had not been back for two years.

But this time he was different.

He was transferred to the Chengxi Military Region, where it only took five or six hours to get back to Yuanhe County.

Compared to the border, it can be said that it was near his home.

And everything on the border had been explained. Although he preferred to stay at the border, he knew in his heart that training special reconnaissance soldiers was more important than personal preference in a sense, and it was more meaningful for him to accept this task with his body that had not fully recovered from his injury.

A stage came to an end, and the mood was still very different.

Very relaxed.

As for his mother's "I've arranged a wife for you", he didn't take it seriously at all.

His mother had never been able to force him to do anything successfully.

He believed that his mother would never do such an unreliable thing.

Liang Jinxi returned to his hometown with a leisurely mood, but unfortunately his trust in his mother was ruthlessly hit after he got off the bus in the county and stepped on the land of his hometown.

He got off the train and took a bus to the county, and then took a tricycle from the county to the commune. He didn't plan to take any other car and was going to walk back directly from the commune. Unexpectedly, he met Secretary Zhao of the commune on the way. He said hello when he met him.

Then Secretary Zhao smiled and said: "You kid, I was going to introduce you to a partner when you came back, but I didn't expect you to be so quick and find one yourself. NoBut you have good taste. That girl is not only good-looking, but also has a good temper. I heard that your mother likes her very much. A few days ago, your brigade secretary discussed with us that he wanted to set up a primary school in your brigade and strive for a primary school teacher quota for your wife. "

Liang Jinxi:???!!!

Secretary, what are you talking about?

He handed a cigarette to Secretary Zhao and said, "What kind of taste do I have as a secretary?"

Secretary Zhao smiled, shook the cigarette, and said, "This is not taste. Your wife looks like this. If you still think you have no taste, then your eyes must be in the sky! "

Liang Jinxi: ...

What does his wife look like?

What does his wife look like?

Secretary, I don't know, you know?

He pulled the corner of his mouth, and finally remembered his mother's telegram.

Is his mother serious about him?!

...He looks good, has a good temper, and his mother likes him very much...Liang Jinxi finally had a bad premonition.

Then, he was irritable.

Fortunately, he has always been stable, even if he is emotional, his face is just a little tense, and he doesn't show anything.

He used to be so violent. His temper had long been suppressed under the surface in the army over the years.

He just looked at the aura that was intimidating.

After taking a look at the secretary's face, he didn't want to talk anymore.

Anyway, no matter whether it was a partner or a wife, he would not want it, whoever decided would be the one to choose.

But this was a family matter, he could just deal with it at home.

He didn't want to say anything more, so he casually said a few words to Secretary Zhao and left.

Then he walked home with a "crunching" sound on the snow.

He met several groups of villagers on the way, and they all stopped to say hello to him, and inevitably they all came to him. Talk about his "wife" and ask him if he wants to get married this time.

Get married...

Liang Jinxi walked all the way home, looking relatively calm, greeting fellow villagers with a sincere expression, but it was hard to describe what was going on inside.

The unhappiness that was pressing on him was like snow under his feet, getting harder and harder.

When he entered his yard, his temper was as hard as a brick.

Then he stepped into the yard and saw his mother and a girl chatting and laughing while collecting clothes under the clothesline.

The girl had her back to the wooden door of the yard, and her mother was The other side of the clothes.

"Shushu, you are a good kid, but if you are with Jinxi, don't be too soft. You don't know Jinxi's temper. His father and I were really worried when he was a child. His brother has been stable since he was a child. He looks stable, but he has a bad temper. When he was a child, no one in the village who was a few years older than him had not been beaten by him. Fortunately, people were afraid of him and didn't provoke him later... But his father and I didn't have anyone to apologize to others for him. When he was six or seven years old, his father beat him with a wooden stick and broke so many sticks."

Liang Jinxi: &%$#!

Lin Shu seemed to be frightened.

She opened her mouth and said after a while: "Auntie, Brother Liang, Brother Liang has such a bad temper?"

If she said she was his girlfriend without permission, would he eat her alive?

"That's right! "

Auntie Hu said.

But after she finished speaking, Auntie Hu realized the panic in Lin Shu's tone, oh, don't scare the child... Isn't this deducting points from her son!

She hurriedly comforted him, "But that was when he was a child. He has lost his temper when he grows up, but he just speaks harshly. But I tell you, he has been a child with ideas, responsibility and reason since he was a child. He could go hunting in the mountains with his uncle at a young age. At that time, there were often wild boars in the mountains..."

How old was he to go to the mountains to hunt wild boars?

What does this have to do with reason?

Lin Shu was even worse.

Auntie Hu saw that Lin Shu's eyes were not right, and hurriedly changed her words, saying, "Shu Shu, don't worry. If Jinxi treats you badly, I will beat him to death with a big stick!"

Liang Jinxi:...

"Mom! "

He shouted with a gloomy face.

When I was a child, you couldn't beat me to death with a stick, who are you going to beat to death now?!

It was earth-shattering.

Lin Shu was frightened, no, so frightened that her hands trembled, and she turned her head and looked over in amazement while grabbing her clothes.

Liang Jinxi was originally looking in the direction of his mother.

But when Lin Shu turned her head, he subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked over at her.

The four eyes met.

They were all stunned.

Liang Jinxi was stunned because although he had heard Secretary Zhao say that the girl was "good-looking", to him, good-looking There is no concept or meaning of "bad", they are all the same.

But this is not included.

Some very old words that came from nowhere even popped up in his mind.

What does "skin as white as cream, frost as white as snow" mean?

What does "eyes as bright as stars, eyelashes as long as feathers" mean?

Even though Liang Jinxi was full of irritability and dissatisfaction, at this moment, it was like a hot fire suddenly encountering ice and snow, and it froze.

Of course, it was just that moment.

He quickly glanced over, and then continued to look at his mother, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Mom, what are you talking about? I haven't been home for two years, and the first sentence I heard was to beat me to death with a big stick? What did I provoke you? "

Lin Shu blinked.

He was still frightened.

Is this Liang Jinxi?

In fact, he looked a bit like his brother and his father, but he was much taller. He was just standing there, and he had an intimidating aura. He was a bit rough, and his eyes were intimidating... But he was not like the one described by Aunt Hu, who went to the mountains to hunt wild boars when he was a few years old and broke countless sticks when he was a child.It was still far from the truth.

It was impossible to say that Lin Shu had not worried at all before after telling such a big lie. Fortunately, the Liang family was really good, honest, kind and enthusiastic. Liang Jinxi was a soldier and an officer, which made Lin Shu feel more at ease.

But when Liang Jinxi stood there, talking with a sullen face and cold eyes, her heartbeat was still a little anxious, "bang bang".

"Jinxi!"

At this moment, it was Aunt Hu who was in the best mood.

Even though she knew that her son would come back in the next two days, she was still surprised to see him.

She didn't care about her son's tone and smiled, "Oh, you are finally back. Don't use that weird tone to talk to me. You haven't come back for two years and you don't give your mother a good face."

Aunt Hu put down her clothes and went to meet her son.

Liang Jinxi was speechless. You found me a wife before I came back. Do you want me to give you a good face?

I didn't get angry and ask you what was going on. It's already a good patience now.

Aunt Hu walked up to Liang Jinxi and wanted to carry his luggage, but she found it too heavy and stopped.

She said, "Okay, why are you standing there like a wooden stake? It's snowing and you've been traveling all day. Go inside."

After that, she turned around and called Lin Shu, saying, "Shushu, you go back to the house too. Jinxi is back. Go in and talk to him. I'll go and cook him a bowl of brown sugar eggs."

"No need."

"Auntie, I'll go. You talk to Brother Liang."

As soon as Aunt Hu finished speaking, Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi said at the same time.

Auntie Hu laughed. See, they have a tacit understanding.

She smiled and said to her son: "I don't know you yet. I'm afraid you haven't eaten much on the way. Come in and eat something to warm up, and talk to Shushu."

"No need, I'll do it myself in a while."

"Didn't I tell you to talk to Shushu first? Then go in and pack up. Forget it, you don't like brown sugar eggs, I'll cook for Shushu and a bowl of noodles for you."

Auntie Hu ignored her son. After saying a few words, she hurried back to the kitchen, leaving the place outside for the two of them.

Liang Jinxi twitched his mouth and watched his mother say something like a gust of wind and then leave. He turned his head with some patience to look at the person his mother asked him to talk to, the "wife" she found for him.

But... he looked at her and had to admit that this girl was really... a little pretty.

Even if he looked at her a second time, she was still dazzling.

He never felt anything about whether a woman was pretty or not.

But he had to admit that there would be exceptions at this time. But, is he a lecher?

Where did he find her?

Lin Shu was frightened by the other party's direct gaze, and felt weak.

She also felt hot on her face, ears, and heart.

He looked like he had something against her, and looked at her with disgust... Was it because he just heard her talking to the old lady, or did he hear some news on the way back or before?

After all, people here are all very straightforward...

Facing such a look that seemed to see through you inside and out, even your hair, Lin Shu couldn't tell the same stupid lie as before, "I like you, I fell in love with you when I met you twice by chance when I was very young."

Her throat was dry, she licked her equally dry lips, took a deep breath, and said dryly under the pressure above her head: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liang,"

"Deputy Battalion Commander Liang, I am Lin Shu, an educated youth in the village, who went to the countryside more than a month ago."

Educated youth? He thought his mother would arrange a girl for him from the village or a nearby village, but it turned out to be an educated youth?

But she doesn't look like a village girl.

But wait, he just went to the countryside more than a month ago, and his mother arranged a wife for him?

Is his mother so anxious to find a wife for him that she's going crazy?

Or is there something fishy going on?

Liang Jinxi didn't say anything.

Lin Shu gritted his teeth, fearing that something might go wrong if he didn't explain clearly, so he simply closed his eyes and talked more and more, explaining everything in one breath, saying: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liang, Aunt Hu is my cousin's mother. When I went to the countryside, my mother chose this place specifically because Aunt Hu and Uncle Liang's family were there. But something went wrong when I first came here. The Shitan Brigade insisted that I go to them and asked me to be a private teacher. There would be no free lunch in the world, and I was afraid that there was a scam, so I had to say that Brother Liang was my partner and resolutely came to Qinghe Brigade." Lin Shu finished this paragraph in one breath without taking a breath in between. When she got to this point, she looked up at Liang Jinxi, took a deep breath, and said with a stern expression as if she was going to die, "I'm sorry, Deputy Battalion Commander Liang, I know this is very unfair to you. I took advantage of you, so I told Auntie that I just like you and you don't like me at all. So you can tell Auntie that we are not suitable and I am just wishful thinking."

She bowed to Liang Jinxi.

Liang Jinxi: ...
