Chapter 159: Who are you insulting
"Classmate Lin, we are leaving our family in your hands."
After expressing her meaning in Mandarin with a rural accent, Granny Xu made a summary speech.
Lin Shu was not annoyed. She listened quietly, turned to look at Xu Dongmei, and said, "Sister Dongmei, is this what you mean too? "
Xu Dongmei finally raised her head.
She looked at Lin Shu, her face flushed, and she stammered. She knew that this was inappropriate, but she was getting too aggressive.
... She had just begged Lin Shu to help her find a unit in Nanzhou a few days ago, and now she was begging him to transfer her husband over.
It's not the same as catching a sheep to pluck wool, alas.
But she had no choice.
She really wanted her husband to be transferred to the Nanzhou base, so that she wouldn't have to worry about him getting into trouble at the border, and their family could be reunited, like Lin Shu's family... In the past few years, her two children have been living with her mother-in-law in the countryside of Hezhou. She could only take them to the border village to live for a few days during holidays. Usually, the family of four had to live in three places.
She always envied Mu Linshu's life, this time she can find a job in Nanzhou, if her husband is transferred to the Nanzhou base, then their family can live like this... Although they are still not as rich as Linshu and live in a big house, at least the family is reunited.
So she also felt embarrassed, but she had no other way, and whether this thing can be done is actually only in Linshu's mind.
And Linshu, although he has a tough side, he is gentle, kind and considerate most of the time. He has been taking good care of her and her two children in the past few years.
She squeezed her hands and whispered: "Linshu, I'm really sorry to bother you again. I really want the family to be together in the future. It was okay when I was young before, I could fight and always wanted to have a goal. Now that I'm old, I just want to be able to be reunited as a family. "
As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Lin Shu understood her desire for a family reunion.
Who doesn't want a family reunion, a husband and wife reunion?
Otherwise, she would not have given up Xizhou University or Zhongda University and chose Nanzhou University.
...Of course, this is also based on her own confidence and her clear plan for her life.
But she never thought of using the relationship of her father or any of her uncles to let Liang Jinxi stay in Chengxi Military Region, or directly transfer to Guangzhou Military Region.
She never thought about it, let alone mentioned it to Liang Jinxi.
But she did not blame Xu Dongmei.
After all, Xu Dongmei is different from her.
She grew up in the military region, and some The people around her taught her about principles, either verbally or by example, and it was almost engraved in her bones.
But who told Xu Dongmei this?
She knew it was embarrassing, but she still held on to the fluke mentality... In her heart, the boundaries were originally very vague.
At most, she felt embarrassed to ask for help, and did not think that this matter itself was wrong.
Lin Shu saw her embarrassment, thought about it seriously, and said: "Sister Dongmei, the army has its own discipline, and family members must not interfere in matters such as relocation... Sister Dongmei, think about it, my husband has been in the border army for more than ten years, and the soldiers under him have been with him in the army through life and death. In terms of affection, isn't it many times stronger than the affection between us? But those soldiers, where to stay and where to be transferred, are all decided by the army. They go wherever they are needed and go as arranged by the organization, and they don't say that they can do whatever they want in private. "
Xu Dongmei: ...
Lin Shu's words "In terms of affection, it is not many times stronger than the affection between us" made Xu Dongmei's face almost burn, embarrassed and ashamed.
But Lin Shu was very serious, and his expression was just talking about the matter, as if he was not scolding anyone...
"Student Lin, this..."
When Granny Xu heard that Lin Shu's words were obviously a rejection, she was unwilling and shouted out, wanting to refute, but as soon as she spoke, Lin Shu glanced at her and waved his hand to stop her.
I don't know if it was evil, but that glance really made Granny Xu shut up.
Lin Shu stopped Granny Xu, and then turned to Xu Dongmei and continued: "But I understand Sister Dongmei's feelings of wanting to reunite. In fact, you should discuss this matter with your husband and reach an agreement. If he wants to come to Nanzhou, he can apply for a transfer to the army. If you want to stay in Nanzhou to work, the army will definitely consider it as appropriate and ask the relevant departments to arrange a job for your husband in Nanzhou. "
Xu Dongmei's face turned pale.
Grandma Xu, who was stuck in her words, almost jumped up.
Demobilization?
After the war, there were countless demobilized soldiers. Most of them went back to their hometowns. If they could arrange a place to eat public food, it would be very good. If they could stay in Nanzhou City, their husband would not have a good position because he only had a junior high school education... It would be better to stay in the army.
XuDongmei actually had some thoughts. She was a motivated person. She wanted her husband to be transferred to the Nanzhou base, where he would have more free time. She could also help him make up for his lessons and try to pass the military academy entrance exam in the next two years. This way, he would have a wider path in the future, whether he stayed in school as an instructor or returned to the army.
But it was definitely not the right time to transfer to civilian work.
Xu Dongmei looked unhappy. Granny Xu was a straight shooter. She said to Lin Shu, "Student Lin, what are you talking about? This is just a matter of one sentence for Brigade Commander Liang. You and Dongmei have been classmates for four years. During these four years, Dongmei has taken care of you and your children. Whenever she makes something..."
"Mom!"
Xu Dongmei was embarrassed after hearing what her grandmother said. She stopped her and said, "Mom, how can you say that? It has always been student Lin who has taken care of me, Dabao and Erbao. Compared with what Lin Shu has done for us, what we have done is simply not worth mentioning..."
They just brought some local specialties from the countryside to Lin Shu's family, and made some clothes for Lin Shu's children when they had time... But does Lin Shu's family need this?
Every time she brought something over, didn't Lin Shu give them several times more?
When did they go to the border village on vacation and not be taken care of by Lin Shu and his family?
Lin Shu always knew who Granny Xu was, and he was not angry about what she said.
She just looked at Xu Dongmei and said, "It's okay, those are just small things. I'm just telling you a possible plan. If you don't want to change your job and want to be together, you can only adjust your job and go to the border village or the nearby town to work... You can always find a suitable one."
Then why did he come to you?
But Lin Shu looked sincere and serious, and his upright attitude was all for your sake, making it almost impossible for you to say your selfish thoughts.
Xu Dongmei couldn't say it, but Grandma Xu could.
However, she wanted to speak again, but was begged and dragged away by Xu Dongmei, who looked pale.
After leaving the house, Granny Xu slapped her daughter-in-law and said to her, "You are useless. You are just thin-skinned. What's the use of having face to live? It's just a matter of one sentence for her. You should put down your face and cry and beg her. If it doesn't work once, come twice, and if it doesn't work twice, come three times. You are classmates. She can arrange a job for you in the city. Now she just wants her husband to drop a big tree from the border to Nanzhou. How can she not do such a simple thing for you?"
At this point, she suddenly slapped Xu Dongmei, which scared Xu Dongmei, who was in a depressed mood.
Then Xu Dongmei heard her say, "Just say you are pregnant. She is not a cruel person. You cry and beg her with your body, and she will definitely agree to you!"
Xu Dongmei: ...
Her face burned even more, and she was shocked and anxious.
She came here with a shameless face because she thought that if Lin Shu agreed, she would do it.
It was just a loss of face, but if Lin Shu agreed, their lives would be turned upside down.
But Lin Shu refused, and she knew Lin Shu's character, so she knew it was impossible, so she gave up the idea.
She took a deep breath and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? You don't know Lin Shu's character. If I said I was pregnant and asked her, she would be sympathetic, but she said directly today that military affairs should be handled impartially... If she helps us submit a written application, saying that I am pregnant, so I apply for the organization to arrange for Dashu to be transferred to Nanzhou, and then the army finds out that I am not actually pregnant, then I am afraid that Dashu and my future will be over, and Dashu may be punished, and there will be no further possibility in the future!"
"Is it, is it that serious?"
"Of course it is! How can the army let you make as much noise as you want?"
Grandma Xu was frightened, but she finally calmed down.
In the room, Teacher Ruan handed Lin Shu a glass of water, touched An An's head, and then sighed to Lin Shu: "Shu Shu, you are really amazing. In the past, some relatives asked me and Limin to arrange things for them, such as arranging soldiers, arranging jobs, and everything else. I think it is not appropriate, but Limin is a man of affection, sharp tongue but soft heart. He arranged everything within his ability, and offended everyone who could not be arranged."
She shook her head as she spoke.
She didn't like to care about these things before. When she asked for help, she looked soft on the surface, but she was very firm. She refused to agree to anything and said directly that she didn't know and it was not possible.
However, when she asked for help from her husband, she didn't care what her husband did.
Lin Shu drank a sip of water, sighed, and said: "I proposed the solution sincerely."
It was not an excuse.
After that, she added, "Sister Anhua, you are good like this. I just like to worry, and worrying makes me old."
Teacher Ruan glanced at her, looked at her face that had not changed at all in four years, and lowered her head with a smile.
Then her eyes moved from Anan, who was looking at her and her mother, to Ah Fu, who was lazily and slowly flipping through the picture album, and suddenly laughed: "Shushu, it's strange. You said that your Zhenzhen, Anan and Ah Fu have such different personalities, but why do I feel that they are all a little similar? That kind of dark and mean energy, matched with three completely different personalities, is not at all inconsistent... Unlike our Honggang and Hongliang, they are all big fools, just like their father."
Lin Shu almost spit out water.
This must be a criticism of Liang Jinxi, right?
