Chapter 56: Protecting

Liang Jinxi certainly understood.

He just felt that his heart was about to swell.

He held her arm and turned her around to face him. He looked at her. Although she quickly lowered her eyes like a deer after looking at him, her red face and fluttering eyelashes were really very attractive.

He said in a hoarse voice: "I believe you, and you believe me. I will do my best to treat you well."

Lin Shu said "hmm" softly.

He held her in his arms again.

It's not that he didn't want to do more, but he didn't want to do more now.

Just holding her like this, the love in his heart overflowed, and he couldn't suppress it. He held her for a while, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her cheek gently, carefully, restraining his desire, like protecting his treasure.

"Captain Liang, are you back?"

A middle-aged woman's voice suddenly came from downstairs.

Both of them froze.

Lin Shu got out of his arms in a rather flustered manner. Liang Jinxi reached out to straighten her collar and said, "It's okay. It should be Yu Dongmei, the lover of the regiment commander Wang next door."

Lin Shu said "hmm", but her eyes looked at the mirror on the table.

That was her mirror, which had been sent earlier. He had put it on the table for her.

Lin Shu ignored him and went to take the mirror and looked at herself carefully. Liang Jinxi smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm fine."

It's just that her face was full of red clouds as if she had drunk alcohol.

He reached out to pull her and said, "Go down. Don't worry."

*****

Not only Yu Dongmei, the lover of the regiment commander Wang, but also Sun Aiying, the lover of the corps political commissar Li Zhengwei.

The person in charge of the mountainous corps in the military region is Brigade Commander Zheng.

But the two persons in charge who directly led the group were one regiment commander, the regiment commander Wang, and one political commissar, the political commissar Li.

Brigade Commander Zheng and his wife do not live in the Corps, so the wives of the two highest-ranking officers in the Corps are Yu Dongmei and Sun Aiying.

Liang Jinxi is said to be at the battalion commander level, but his job in this regiment is to arrange and supervise the reconnaissance training plan for the entire regiment.

It is a title second only to Regiment Commander Wang and Political Commissar Li.

So Regiment Commander Wang and Political Commissar Li also attach great importance to him.

Liang Jinxi's marriage has always been a concern.

However, everyone is curious about Liang Jinxi's newlywed lover, but the feeling is very different.

Regiment Commander Wang was promoted from the grassroots, with little education, but he is a good fighter.

HeHe was promoted because of his meritorious service during the Korean War, but later because of his cultural background, he was promoted slowly. Now he is in his fifties and still a full regimental officer.

His wife Yu Dongmei was married before he joined the army. They have three children, but two are serving in other units and one is studying at a university in Xizhou City, neither of them is around.

Yu Dongmei was very happy to hear that the new battalion commander Liang had brought the new wife that his family had arranged for him.

It's just next door, so it's usually more lively.

So just now when I heard the car outside and saw it entering the yard next door, I thought it was almost time for lunch, so I brought a plate of freshly baked scallion pancakes from the kitchen, and specially paired it with a small bowl of pickles.

The wife of Political Commissar Li over there had more complicated thoughts.

Political Commissar Li was also transferred here this year.

In the past few years, Sun Aiying had been with Political Commissar Li at the headquarters of the Chengxi Military Region, and was familiar with Deputy Director Cao of the Art Troupe. Therefore, after Deputy Director Cao was furious with Brigade Commander Zheng's lover, she was still unwilling to accept it, and she was also dissatisfied and angry about being humiliated.

So she found Sun Aiying again and complained to her for a while.

But the words changed.

It was said that when Battalion Commander Liang was injured and lived in the border hospital, his daughter Liu Hui took care of him for more than a month. At that time, Battalion Commander Liang's leader, Regiment Commander Xu, said that they were suitable and wanted to introduce Liu Hui to Battalion Commander Liang. It was originally a good deal, but who knew that suddenly Battalion Commander Liang's hometown arranged a wife for him in the countryside without discussing it with Battalion Commander Liang. Battalion Commander Liang had no choice but to go back and marry... At the end, he also tentatively told Sun Aiying that although the opinions of the family should be respected, in the army, the arrangements of the organization are more important? Please ask Sun Aiying to help ask Political Commissar Li whether such a marriage should be rejected?

As they were all in the same compound, Sun Aiying had watched Liu Hui grow up. After hearing this, she felt that Liang Jinxi had done a very bad thing. Not only did he wrong Liu Hui, but he also disobeyed the organization's arrangements.

That night, when Political Commissar Li came back, she asked her husband, "I heard that the wife of Battalion Commander Liang was arranged by his family. Is she suitable for him? Do you want to have a good talk with him? It's not the time to arrange marriages now."

At that time, Political Commissar Li had just received the marriage application from Brigade Commander Zheng.

He also frowned after reading the application.

But Brigade Commander Zheng said that Deputy Commander Han had already approved it, and it was just a formality for him. What else could he say?

He couldn't say too much. But his wife is not only his lover, but also the women's director of the family compound, so he has to remind her, and he stopped there: "Captain Liang's marriage application has been approved, but his wife's father is a capitalist roader. You should be careful when you interact with her. You should remind her when you need to, and do a good job in the family compound."

Sun Aiying was really shocked.

She was shocked and said, "What's going on? How can the Liang family do such a thing? They decided to marry such a daughter-in-law without consulting Captain Liang. Isn't this ruining Captain Liang's future?"

She frowned and said, "Such an outrageous thing, how can Captain Liang let his family make their own decisions? He doesn't even need to refuse it himself, he just says that the organization doesn't agree. Why do they refuse the organization's arrangement for such a daughter-in-law?"

"What organization's arrangement?"

Sun Aiying told the border troops about Xu Zhengwei's attempt to match Liu Hui with Liang Jinxi, and said, "They don't want a good girl with good family background, but a capitalist-roader son-in-law decided by the family. Is the family's opinion more appropriate than the organization's arrangement?"

Political Commissar Li frowned.

He didn't know there was such a thing.

When he got the application, he also felt that this marriage was inappropriate.

If this was a subordinate he promoted, he would definitely not approve it.

But Liang Jinxi was recommended by Brigade Commander Zheng, and he specifically said that Deputy Commander Han had approved it. What else could he say?

He had been in Chengxi Military Region for a short time and had not met Lin Zhaotong, but since Lin Zhaotong had been a leader of the military region, it was not surprising that someone above him wanted to take care of the descendants of his old comrade.

After all, he was just a battalion commander.

Although he also felt it was a pity.

He said, "Forget it, let's not mention it now. After all, it's someone else's family affair. The higher-ups have approved it, so don't worry about it. Anyway, you just need to take care of it, but don't make it too difficult for them."

Sun Aiying could only sleep with a lot of doubts.

So like Yu Dongmei, she heard the car outside and saw the movement next door that day, and she couldn't help but come over to see and say hello.

Liang Jinxi brought Lin Shu downstairs.

Yu Dongmei's smiling face froze.

Sun Aiying's somewhat stern face almost cracked.

Liang Jinxi and Lin Shu were who they were, so of course they saw the changes in their expressions, but they just pretended not to see anything.

Liang Jinxi introduced the two to Lin Shu, saying, "Shushu, these two, this is our Captain Wang's wife, Sister Yu, and this is our Political Commissar Li's wife, Director Sun. Director Sun is also the Women's Director of our Corps Family Compound, and the work arrangements for the family members are all arranged by Director Sun."

He introduced Lin Shu to Yu Dongmei and Sun Aiying, "Sister Yu, Director Sun, this is my wife, Comrade Lin Shu. She just came here and is not familiar with the situation here. If she doesn't understand anything, please ask Sister Yu and Director Sun to teach her."

Yu Dongmei had already reacted from the accident.

Although she was still confused, she had regained her enthusiasm and smiled, "No problem, no problem, we live next door, Xiao Lin, if you have any problems, just come to us."

He handed the cake in his hand to Liang Jinxi and said"The pancakes are freshly baked and still hot. You just came from the countryside and haven't eaten yet, so eat something first."

Liang Jinxi took it first, and Lin Shu took it again, smiling, "Thank you, Sister Yu, the pancakes are really delicious. Please sit down first and I'll pour you a cup of tea."

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome," Sister Yu smiled, "You just arrived, so we came to see you and see if you need any help. We didn't come to cause any trouble."

"How could we cause any trouble? I should have gone to see Sister Yu and Director Sun first, but I let you come first."

Lin Shu put the pancakes on the table while talking, and then went to the closet to get the thermos, and Liang Jinxi went over to help her get two enamel cups.

These were neatly placed on the closet, and she had seen them before.

"Is the water hot?"

Lin Shu turned around and asked Liang Jinxi. "It was poured yesterday, so it should still be warm."

Lin Shu took the thermos and poured water for the two people on the table, smiling, "The water poured by Brother Liang yesterday is warm, so please don't be disgusted by it, Sister-in-law and Director Sun."

Director Sun didn't say a word during this series of words.

Of course, she had been observing Lin Shu and how Lin Shu and Liang Jinxi got along.

Yu Dongmei looked around the house.

It was not messy at all, it was clean and tidy.

She smiled and said, "Tell us if you need anything and we will get it for you."

Sun Aiying finally spoke up and said, "Xiaolin, wait for you to pack. I will take you to the family compound office tomorrow and tell you about our family compound work."

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Director Sun."

"Director Sun, you can take her to see her."

Liang Jinxi, who had packed his luggage after seeing them sit down, turned around and said, "But she has been helping our brigade's textile factory with design and planning work before. Now she has to help. She may not be able to fully participate in the work of the family compound during this period."

Sun Aiying's face, which had relaxed a little because of drinking a sip of water, suddenly became serious again.

Yu Dongmei was very curious and asked, "The brigade's textile factory? Xiaolin, you used to work in a factory in the countryside. What does this design and planning work do?"

"Sister-in-law, our countryside is in the mountains. It is very poor and has many mountains. The income of the team mainly depends on growing cotton, but the villagers there are very clever and many have good skills, so the commune supports and set up a textile factory..."

"Xiaolin, where is your hometown? How did you get to Captain Liang's hometown?"

After Lin Shu introduced the textile factory for a while, Sun Aiying interrupted and asked.

"I used to live in Xizhou City, but actually my hometown is also in Captain Liang's home. I am a distant relative of Captain Liang's family, but it is really a bit far. My grandmother is my mother-in-law's cousin."

Lin Shu smiled.

After talking for a while, a smell of smoke came from the kitchen.

A few people turned around and saw Liang Jinxi actually lit the stove...

Yu Dongmei stood up and went to see, saying: "Hey, Captain Liang, why did you light the stove? We can just eat pancakes for lunch. If not, we can go to the canteen to get some food."

Liang Jinxi smiled and said: "No need, just boil some water and cook some noodles, simple, do my sister-in-law and the director want to eat here?"

"Why is this necessary?"

Yu Dongmei stood up and said, "Then you guys are busy, we will go back first, and we have to prepare lunch when we go back."

"Speaking of lunch, I remembered,"

Lin Shu saw Liang Jinxi soaking dried mushrooms, and stood up, smiling, "We still have to go home. I brought some dried mushrooms. Brother Liang, where did you put them? I'll take some for Sister Yu and Director Sun. "

Yu Dongmei and Sun Aiying declined, and Lin Shu smiled and said, "We picked them and dried them on the mountain ourselves. They are not valuable. Sister-in-law and Director can just try them."

...

When Yu Dongmei and Sun Aiying left the house, Yu Dongmei weighed the dried mushrooms in her hand and smiled, "Captain Liang's wife is really pretty and smart. No wonder Captain Liang agreed to this marriage. I think he loves her very much. But this girl is really good, generous and polite. She seems to be well educated."

Sun Aiying frowned even more.

She was a bastard of a capitalist roader. She didn't look like a bastard of a capitalist roader, but more like a daughter of a capitalist family...Look at the hand holding the cup, which was more dazzling than the white porcelain jar, and her behavior, every frown and smile, she didn't look like a working people.

It's not that the eldest daughter of a capitalist family is spoiled and barbaric with the style of an eldest daughter and can't do anything. She is cunning, and it's scary to be like this, and it can corrupt people's hearts.

Here, Yu Dongmei and Sun Aiying went out and talked about Lin Shu.

Lin Shu was also talking about them.

She walked to the kitchen and saw Liang Jinxi fanning the fire very vigorously. She laughed and asked him, "Are those family members working very hard?"

As soon as Director Sun opened his mouth, he helped her stop.

She also talked about cooking noodles, which was probably to help her drive away customers.

"There's no rush for work,"

Liang Jinxi put down the fan and said, "You should understand it first, see the situation, and then find something you like to do."

Director Sun obviously had a prejudice against her. Before she came over, he asked her about her situation several times when he met him. Today, he kept looking at her when he came over. It was obvious that he was here with bad intentions.

He wouldn't teach her and arrange her to do some land reclamation and farming work.

Lin Shu looked at him and smiled, then raised the corner of her mouth and said, "We are allIt's not cooked. Aren't you afraid of spoiling me by doing this? Director Sun looks serious and fussy. Isn't this going to hold you back? "

"No,"

He came over and tapped her head, saying, "How heavy can you be? Why are you holding me back? Don't just stand there. Come and cook noodles with me. Just help me. I'll get the eggs. You help me get the dried mushrooms. I'll cut them later."

Lin Shu curled her lips again. Isn't this just a matter of convenience?
