Chapter 42
Married.
Lin Shu married the soldier.
She didn't like him, no matter what he did, she couldn't like him.
Some things can't be forced.
Zhou Chengzhi crushed the cigarette butt hard, crushing the tobacco into pieces, exposing the blue veins on his hands, and bulging the muscles on his arms.
Lin Meilan was also frightened.
She looked at him, gritted her teeth, and said, "In fact, cousin Shu doesn't like that guy either. Cousin Shu and I are sisters, we grew up together, and I know very well that she had no intersection with that man before. Think about it, with Cousin Shu's personality, how could she say that man was her boyfriend without ever seeing him, and then marry him in a few days? "
She said what her mother told her about the reason why Lin Shu married Liang Jinxi.
She said, "Brother Chengzhi, you also know very well that if Cousin Shu marries you, she can only live a good life, but your power cannot reach that far, you can't save my cousin. But that man may be able to, even if he can't, he can take Lin Shu to the military district to meet my cousin's former comrades, the heads of the military district, those people have watched my cousin grow up, and have a friendship with my cousin who went to the battlefield with my cousin."
"Brother Chengzhi, my cousin will come out, even if my cousin can't save him this time, within a few years, he will be reinstated, and even get promoted. Brother Chengzhi, give up on cousin Shu, otherwise the methods you use will backfire on you and your family in the future. "
Zhou Chengzhi turned his head to look at her suddenly, and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, which made people feel scared.
He looked at her as if he was studying something, and said: "Oh, you are so sure that your cousin will come out? Why, you also believe in that man, so you backed off? You don't even want to go to college?"
Lin Meilan's heart almost jumped out of her chest when he stared at her.
She bit her lip, forced her heart back, took a long breath, closed her eyes, and said: "I want to go, brother Chengzhi, one more person means one more way. If you don't get that quota for me, it will be a bargain for others. In your heart, even if I am far inferior to cousin Shu, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts. If you help me with this quota, I promise you that you will never suffer any loss in the future. "
She paused and said, "Didn't you ask me why I was so sure that my cousin would be able to come out? I tell you, it's because I suddenly started to have some dreams some time ago, some prophetic dreams. I didn't take it seriously at first, but later they all came true."
"For example, my cousin was sent down, and my cousin would come back... You don't believe it, do you?"
She suddenly remembered something, whispered a name, and said, "This leader, he was also persecuted a lot before, but next month, he will be reinstated next month. He will change many policies and redress the cases that were wrongly approved before. These are state secrets. If I hadn't dreamed, I would not have known. You wait until next month to know if what I said is true."
Zhou Chengzhi's pupils shrank suddenly.
Lin Meilan said: "I will never make up such things. I will dream of some major events happening. These are very useful to you. It is not difficult for you to give me a university quota. The steel plant can recommend it, but you will always be able to use my ability. "It's Lin Shu," she said slowly, "Don't mess with her anymore, really, you can be nice to her, but don't force her anymore, you should understand, I'm saying this for you, not for her." "If you really love her... In fact, a person's life is so long, she doesn't like that man, but she can marry him to save her father.Give it to him, and you will have many opportunities in the future. Really, in a few years, the chaos in our country will end and we will usher in an era of rapid development. At that time, as long as you can seize the opportunity, you can become one of the richest people in our country, or even the richest. At that time, if you still want her, there will definitely be countless opportunities. Why should you rush for the moment? "
"Reconcile with her temporarily, and then slowly look for opportunities in the future. There will always be opportunities. You should know that if you force yourself to get close to her now, it will only make her hate you more, or you will get nothing, and it will only make the relationship worse. "
"Lin Shu is a person who is soft on the outside but hard on the inside, and she is also very smart. She will know the means you force her and use behind her sooner or later, but if you treat her well without asking for anything in return, she will always say good things to you. Who knows if there will be any opportunities in the future? "
"You persuade me so earnestly," Zhou Chengzhi still rolled tobacco in his hands. He sneered and said, "Are you persuading me so earnestly just for a recommendation quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? Since you can foresee all this and know that as long as you seize the opportunity, you can become one of the richest people in our country, why do you still want the recommendation quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? "
Lin Meilan thought to herself that he still wouldn't completely believe her.
He was still testing her.
"Even if there is an opportunity, it will be a few years later,"
She said, "I don't really want the degree from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. But don't you know what kind of life I am living now? Going to college is just a way to get out of my current life. As for the opportunities you mentioned a few years later, yes, I can dream about some things, but you know there are opportunities, but I don't have the confidence that I can definitely catch and hold them, but you are different. I believe in your ability and skills, so I want to cooperate with you. "
Just like in later generations, who doesn't know that buying land and enclosing land can make you rich, who doesn't know that you can make quick money in the entertainment industry, but you have the ability to enclose land, do you have the confidence to be successful in the entertainment industry?
When she just came here, she was also eager to fight and ambitious, but in the end, reality made her sober.
She didn't want to spend all that effort to toss.
If someone is capable, she can easily get the best life, why should she toss herself?
Wouldn't it be nice to take good care of your beauty and enjoy life?
She didn't want to rely on him completely.
But she must at least have a certain foundation and a platform first.
She was not afraid that he would doubt herself now.
She would organize the information well, Sooner or later, he will completely believe her.
*****
After Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi went to the textile factory, they went to the department store.
They did business first, strolled around the shoes and clothes, looked at the prices, and took Xu Juan's letter to the office building behind to find Xu Juan's uncle, Director Wang.
Director Wang was quite enthusiastic when he heard that the people from his niece's team came, but he was a little hesitant after hearing what they said.
He said: "The things here are all approved by the upper level, and some of the factory's things are fixed, but it's okay. You set up a factory, and then produce some samples and bring them over, and apply for sales with us. At that time, I will mention it to our secretary to see if we can buy your products."
Although he didn't agree, it was completely reasonable.
Lin Shu was very happy to get this answer.
She thanked him: "Okay, thank you Director Wang for your trouble. "
He then gave Director Wang the things that Xu Juan had asked them to bring. They were all mountain products, dried mushrooms and dried vegetables, etc., and said with a smile, "Xu Juan personally went to the villagers' homes to collect them. They are very fragrant when cooking noodles or soups. If there is a chance next time, we will let Xu Juan come back by herself."
Director Wang smiled and said, "You, my young comrade, are quite thoughtful. You are asking me to do my best for my niece."
Lin Shu laughed and said, "I am pragmatic."
Director Wang liked Lin Shu's pragmatism very much. After speaking, he packed a lot of things from his office and asked Lin Shu to help bring them back to Xu Juan.
This was not for him, so of course Lin Shu brought them all.
It was still some time before the department store closed after leaving Uncle Wang's office. Since he was already in the department store, Lin Shu smiled and said, "It's not easy to come here, let's buy some gifts for Auntie and the others. "
Liang Jinxi naturally agreed to her request.
Lin Shu did not go to choose directly.
She also brought a list and bought many gifts for the Liang family according to the list.
Most were from Aunt Hu, including rain boots, because Lin Shu remembered that Aunt Hu's rain boots had been patched again and again, and they could no longer be seen in their original state. Also, because there were too many patches, they were actually not waterproof at all. She also asked for a few pairs of plastic gloves, which Aunt Hu and Zhou Xiuhong could use to wash clothes and dishes. In such a cold snowy day, they washed dishes and clothes directly every day, and they had frostbite on their hands, which was itchy and painful. She also asked for a coat. In fact, the things she wanted to buy were quite There are many, but time is tight, so I bought the most important things first.
In addition, there are also gifts for Shitouzhu, Liang Donghe, Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu.
However, they are not important things, each of them only has one or two things.
This time she came to tell Aunt Yao that most of the things stored in their house were sent to the brigade. She planned to pack them up well, and many things could be given to Zhenzhen and Zhuzhu.
When she was about to pay, Liang Jinxi paid first, and Lin Shu didn't care about this. She nodded and said, "If you buy it, Auntie will definitely be happier, but I'll pay for Sister Xiuhong and Sister Donghe."Some of those things still need tickets, which Liang Jinxi didn't have, but Lin Shu had them all ready.
Liang Jinxi didn't care about her little insistence.
It's fine as long as she likes it.
Anyway, he will give her his money in the future.
After paying, Lin Shu was sorting out the things she bought with her head down. Another salesperson came over with a bag and said to Liang Jinxi, "Comrade, the scarf you asked for just now is a big red one that sells well. There is only one left."
Lin Shu raised his head curiously and saw that the salesperson had already stood in front of the counter and took out a big red wool scarf from a paper bag. Then he turned his head to look at Lin Shu and smiled at Lin Shu in a low voice, "Comrade, your wife has good taste. You have fair skin, and this big red scarf will definitely look better than the beige one you have now. It's warm and beautiful."
Lin Shu's little face turned red.
Liang Jinxi seemed to have heard nothing, his expression did not change at all, he just said: "Well, then please open another order, comrade."
This scarf is made of wool and costs twelve yuan, which is one-third of an ordinary worker's salary, and it may be the food ration for two months of the villagers in the commune.
Lin Shu whispered: "It's expensive."
She felt a little guilty because she didn't know who he was giving this scarf to.
He was giving it to someone else, so why did she care whether it was expensive or not?
Liang Jinxi continued to act as if he didn't hear anything, and went to the side to issue an invoice and pay.
The salesperson wrapped the scarf and handed it to Lin Shu, secretly glanced at Liang Jinxi's tall and straight figure, and then smiled and whispered to Lin Shu: "Comrade, your lover really loves you."
Lin Shu: ...
Although the explanation was strange, Lin Shu felt very uncomfortable to be called Liang Jinxi's lover so frankly.
She coughed lightly and said, "Not a lover."
The salesperson looked at Lin Shu in surprise, then smiled with relief and said, "Oh, sorry, sorry, you are just a couple, right? It's my fault. I thought you were newly married when I saw you like this. Sorry, but comrade, your partner is really good to you."
She saw it all just now. The female comrade spent so much time shopping, and the PLA comrade was waiting for her seriously by the side, without a trace of impatience. His expression was obviously cold and scary to others, but when he looked at her, people felt that he was focused and gentle.
Such a gay man is really rare.
Lin Shu was even more embarrassed.
But she couldn't clarify that they were not a couple, right?
If they were not lovers, why would they go to the department store together to buy these old things?
Besides, is it necessary to explain so many things to a salesperson?
Lin Shu blushed and left the department store under the salesperson's smiling eyes.
Because of this, the two of them didn't say anything on the way back. It was just the rush hour when they went back. There were no seats on the bus, and even the standing area was crowded with people. Although Lin Shu held the railing, she either bumped into him or was squeezed by people when the bus turned several times. Later, he simply protected her in his arms.
There were so many people on the bus, but Lin Shu seemed to only feel his presence, and seemed to only smell the breath in his arms, and the temperature of his hot air on her head.
This made her breathing a little stuffy, and she had to keep it steady to avoid confusion.
She didn't allow Lin Meilan's previous thoughts to come out... otherwise it would be even more chaotic.
Lin Shu is not a fool.
To be honest, sometimes if she really didn't feel anything unusual, she would be pretending to be stupid.
It's just that sometimes she seemed to catch something, and the next moment his attitude and the completely blank thoughts made her feel that if she misunderstood something, she was just being sentimental and wanted to rely on him.
...After all, he had warned her several times with that look at the beginning, asking her not to have any intentions towards him.
In addition to Lin Meilan's thoughts, she was afraid that she would be affected, so she resolutely did not allow herself to think wrongly.
Thinking in this way, her mood slowly calmed down again.
It was dark when she returned to the guesthouse.
The two put the things in the guesthouse first, and then bought a few meals at the guesthouse and went to the Song family.
Liang Jinxi specifically asked for a mutton soup.
He said: "Take it to the Song family to eat today, and next time we buy mutton and cook it ourselves. The taste of my cooking will not be worse than that of the store."
Lin Shu smiled at him and said: "This is already very good."
She was in a good mood today, and whether she drank mutton soup or not would not affect her good mood.
