Chapter 32

Lin Shu left the Liang family very late that night.

Of course, Liang Jinxi sent her off.

On the way, Liang Jinxi was still quiet as usual, but now Lin Shu's feeling about him was completely different from the beginning..

This is also very strange. They have only known each other for two days, but it seems that they have experienced a lot.

…Look, he has sent her off on this road countless times.

Lin Shu talked too much at night and was a little tired from playing. In fact, she should have gone to bed at this time.

So this time she didn't say much, just followed him and walked carefully, looking at the ground.

It was dark at night, and even with the moonlight, it was hazy.

The ground was icy and slippery, and she didn't want to fall on New Year's Day.

Until she reached the gate of the educated youth institute, she turned around and said to him: "Brother Liang, I'm here, you go back, happy new year."

"Yeah,"

He nodded at her and said, "Go in."

Lin Shu stepped onto the small dirt steps. Maybe she was too happy today. She thought of something and turned back to smile at him: "Not counting the things in childhood, in half an hour, we have known each other for two years."

Liang Jinxi was stunned.

Lin Shu saw his serious expression when looking at her, so she gestured to him and said, "In half an hour, it will be the new year. We met last year, and with the new year, isn't it two years?"

Liang Jinxi's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes were as dark as the abyss under the moonlight.

He said, "Well, almost."

Lin Shu turned around happily, opened the courtyard door, and stepped inside.

But she was careful all the way, and she never expected that there was a layer of new ice on the steps in the courtyard. She slipped down as soon as she stepped on it. Fortunately, he saw it and reacted quickly, reaching out to pull her back.

He pulled her back, and held her shoulders with his other hand until she stood firm before letting go.

But what she didn't expect was that he let go, but she didn't.

At this moment, she had turned around to face him.

Her little hand tightly grasped his fingers, and she looked up at him blankly, her little mouth slightly open, and under the moonlight, her face was shocked, confused and at a loss.

At that moment, his heart beat violently, and he had to use his instinctive restraint to restrain the impulse that arose at that moment.

Lin Shu pulled his fingers.

She felt his heartbeat, strong and powerful, hitting her heart.

His hands were big, probably because he held guns for many years, his fingers and palms had thick calluses, rough and hot, and when he held her hand, he felt strength.

Lin Shu had never felt this way before.

Such a strong sense of power, the emotions were so intense that they made people dizzy.

But she still didn't know what emotions were.

She pulled his fingers for a long time before she reacted belatedly, and hurriedly let go of his hand. She wanted to retreat in a panic, but he grabbed her arm again.

The two stood there for a long time.

She was panicked, her face was full of blush.

He stared at her. Lin Shu took a while to recover and whispered, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

He took a breath and said, "Okay, I'm paying attention this time, you go back."

"Go in first,"

He said, "I'll leave after you go in."

Lin Shu nodded.

She turned her head silently and walked back to the house with steady steps under his gaze.

Before entering the house, she couldn't help but look back again and saw that he was still there.

Xu Juan didn't come back that night.

There was a piece of paper left on the kang table, saying that she didn't know if she would come back, so she slept with her cousin at night.

The thermos was full of hot water.

There was cold water in her washbasin on the washbasin stand next to her.

It was really considerate.

Lin Shu felt warm in her heart, and her mood, which had been a little chaotic because of Liang Jinxi, finally returned to normal.

She felt that she should "touch" Liang Jinxi less in the future. The feeling was too strong, and it was difficult for her to keep it as if nothing had happened. That was too petty, and it would be bad if he misunderstood her, as it would affect their normal relationship.

As for Lin Meilan's evil thoughts, she suppressed them tightly and never let them come out again.

*****

The team didn't arrange any work for the New Year.

The educated youths had a rare leisure time. Every day, they either played together, went shopping in the county, or went to the next commune to meet with familiar educated youths.

Lin Shu didn't stay with everyone because of the textile factory's charter. She stayed at Liang's house during the day and returned to the dormitory at night to discuss with Xu Juan how to build the textile factory, what products to make, and the specific details of the products.

This topic seems simple, but there is no end to it.

From the styles and practical things liked by villagers, women and children in the village to the trends among different groups in the city, there is a lot of content.

Lin Shu's life was busy and fulfilling, but the educated youths talked more.

The main reason was that Lin Shu said she was Liang Jinxi's girlfriend before, but Liang Jinxi was far away in the army and could not be seen. Moreover, at that time, everyone had to go to work together in the team every day. At most, Aunt Hu took care of him, which was not very different.

But now it is different. The guy stays at Liang's house every day and comes back late at night to be picked up by Captain Liang... This, this is too blatant.

And with the teacher quota, many people always have a little knot in their hearts.

"It's really embarrassing for our female educated youth. Have you heard? It turns out that she has a boyfriend in Xizhou City. He is her neighbor and has been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. He likes her very much and said that he would let her go to the countryside for two years, but she is attractive. After she went to the countryside, she was spotted by the neighboring commune. In order to protect herself, she pushed Captain Liang away."It's impossible, Liu Mei, wasn't it said before that this was a rumor? I heard that Lin Shu's family and Aunt Hu's family are relatives..." "Why not?" Liu Mei, who spoke earlier, said, "Are there not many educated youth who marry locals in order to return to the city or live a better life here? But she is really capable. She is relying on an officer. It's just that she is too shameless. I don't know if it is considered cheating on military marriage for Captain Liang to be kept in the dark. If this matter is exposed, I don't know if it will implicate us?" There was some silence in the kitchen. Zhao Qin, who had been listening to them, turned to look at Chen Shufen, who had also been silent, and said, "Sister Shufen, I think what Liu Mei said makes sense. Lin Shu has problems with his conduct between men and women, and his behavior is improper. He deceived a comrade from the People's Liberation Army. This is not a trivial matter. "

"You are responsible for our female educated youth. You can't just ignore such a thing, right? If this matter is not exposed, it will harm Captain Liang for his whole life. If it is exposed and spread out, it will be said that the female educated youth of Qinghe Brigade are shameless and are cheating on marriage. All the female educated youth of Qinghe Brigade will be ashamed to see people."

"Bang".

Xu Juan, who had just walked out of the house with a washbasin, slammed the washbasin on the table and angrily said to Zhao Qin: "The female educated youth of Qinghe Brigade are shameless, and I think you are shameless now! The ugly face of jealousy is simply unbearable to look at! You said it in a high-sounding manner, isn't it just because you are jealous of Lin Shu for that teacher quota? If you have the ability, you also have a father who is a general, and you grew up in the army since childhood, you can meet a person in the army!"

Zhao Qin is the most face-conscious, and was scolded by Xu Juan like this, and she was so angry that she choked and scolded: "What general? Don't think we don't know. Her father is a counter-revolutionary. Who knows where he is doing labor reform now!"

...

Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi were standing outside the yard.

They just came from the village. When they walked here, they were separated from the kitchen in the yard of the female educated youth by a wall.

In fact, after the night of the 30th, Lin Shu tried to come back early these days and didn't let Liang Jinxi send him off.

But today is the third day of the New Year, and Liang Jinli will go to the brigade the next day. So after dinner at Liang's house tonight, he took out the regulations that he and Liang Donghe had discussed carefully and Liang Jinxi had also read, and explained them to everyone again. He came back a little late, and it was already dark.

Several villages in Qinghe Brigade are mountain villages, built along the mountains. Although the educated youth station is not far from Liang's house, it takes less than ten minutes to walk, but there are some remote corners in between.

The old lady said that although the village is generally safe, there is no guarantee that there will be any accidents, so Liang Jinli will be

... In the past two days, Lin Shu noticed that Aunt Hu's attitude towards her and Liang Jinxi had changed.

When Liang Jinxi just came back, Aunt Hu had been trying to bring them together, but she changed in the past few days after the New Year. She told Lin Shu that she actually treated her as her daughter, and asked her not to feel comfortable, and just treat Liang Jinxi as her elder brother. If she had any problems, it would be natural for her to help as her elder brother.

Lin Shu thought, maybe Liang Jinxi had said something to her.

Under such circumstances, she and Liang Jinxi had gotten along much more naturally.

Between friends and family members who were gradually getting familiar with each other.

So Aunt Hu asked Liang Jinxi to send her off again, and she herself was a very cautious person, so she agreed.

Who knew that when she got here, she heard such words inside.

Liang Jinxi's face was very ugly, and he said coldly: "Let's go."

After turning the corner and walking a little further, he arrived at the gate of the yard.

He turned his head, looked at her, and said: "I'll go in with you. "

Lin Shu felt the coldness coming from him, and the coldness was even stronger than when she saw him on the first day.

She wanted to laugh, but she found that she couldn't laugh much.

Because those people not only talked about her, but also her father.

Even though she knew that her father would be rehabilitated and reinstated in a few years, she still couldn't accept others scolding him.

"No need,"

She said.

Still trying not to be influenced by those people inside, she said, "It's okay, I can handle this matter myself."

But he ignored her, with a gloomy face, and his hand had already pressed the wooden door of the compound.

She grabbed his military coat, took a breath, looked up at him, and said, "Really, I can handle such things myself."

"You heard it, they spread rumors behind my back, just for that invisible teaching quota, or because I was dissatisfied with the care I received from my aunt, but they can only say these few words behind my back, what's the use? Because my aunt and you trust me, it's useless. So, Auntie, Uncle, Captain Liang, Sister Xiuhong, and you, your family trusts me, which is the best support. I don't need you to argue with them for anything, because, saying one more word to them is to lower yourself. "

"As for clarifying with them, I can do it myself."

"She said seriously, "Believe me, they can't bully me."

"Liang Jinxi looked at her for a while, his eyes moved from her face to her little hand holding his military coat, and finally loosened his hand on the door, took it back, and said: "Okay, then you go in, I'll be here, you go over and clarify."

"He looked like a child who was bullied outside and was discovered by his eldest brother. The eldest brother took people out, found the children who helped bully him, and then folded his hands beside him and said: "Go, beat them all up, I'll watch here, and see whoDare to fight back! "

Lin Shu pursed his lips, knowing that this was probably his biggest concession.

This person, who looked cold, was actually just like Aunt Hu, who was very protective of his shortcomings.

Lin Shu shook his head, quickly put aside his distracting thoughts, and said, "Then I'll go in."

Liang Jinxi pressed the door earlier, and the wooden door made a noise, but the people inside were arguing and noisy, so no one paid attention.

When Lin Shu pushed the door open with a "squeak", the people in the kitchen all looked at the door.

Then, the faces behind them changed suddenly.

Chen Shufen's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Liang Jinxi behind her, then looked at Lin Shu who was walking towards them, and said, "Lin Shu, you're back."

Lin Shu ignored her.

She walked straight to Zhao Qin and said, "Just now, you were saying that I was not well behaved and had problems with men and women? "

Of course, Zhao Qin also saw Liang Jinxi standing at the gate of the yard.

Seeing his gloomy aura.

Thinking that she had not said anything bad about Captain Liang, Zhao Qin's embarrassment immediately disappeared a lot, and she even felt a little pleasure in her heart.

She said: "Isn't it..."

With a "slap", Lin Shu raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

Zhao Qin screamed "ah", covered her face and took a step back, all stunned.

Her face was burning, and under the last ray of light in the sky, everyone saw that her face swelled up quickly.

No one expected that Lin Shu, who was usually very easy to talk to, would suddenly take action.

It was even more unexpected that she, who looked very delicate, could be so hard in a slap.

...They all forgot that Lin Shu grew up in the army, and didn't know that she had been studying in the army's children's school since she was a child, and there physical fitness and military boxing and various boxing were daily training items, so she was actually not as delicate as she seemed.

"Lin Shu, what are you doing? "

Chen Shufen was the first to react, and said to Lin Shu unhappily, "We are all educated youth, what can't we talk about it in a nice way?"

"Talk about it in a nice way?"

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "She has already maliciously spread rumors behind my back, accusing me of improper behavior and having problems with my relationship with men, and even went to my partner to directly destroy my marriage. Why should I talk to her nicely?"

Chen Shufen frowned and said, "If these things are not true, you should clarify them nicely."

"Clarify them nicely?"

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Why should I clarify them nicely? People have slandered me to this extent, of course I have to slap them back. Dogs have no brains, and they bite me when they are provoked. Do I have to reason with a dog? She is not smart, is it possible that you, Chen Zhiqing, are not smart either, or do you think I am not smart? "

Everyone: ...
