The time on the train is still difficult to endure, especially now that the trains of this era are not as strict as later generations. The middle aisle is full of people. Not to mention, Lin Shiheng and the others are sitting diagonally on the ground, and an elder sister who is sitting on the ground actually still has a bag in her hand. a live chicken.
The mixture of various smells made He Xuezhu, who would have been uncomfortable with her pregnancy, even more uncomfortable. She tried her best to endure the retching with a white face, and while she was enduring, a pair of hands suddenly gently placed her head on her own. On her shoulders, He Xuezhu raised her eyes and met Lin Shiheng's caring gaze.
"Let's sleep with me for a while, it should be much better after a sleep."
During this period of time, she was taught by her husband to write and write every day. The person He Xuezhu trusted the most in her heart had long since become him. She relaxed at this moment and obediently leaned her head on the shoulder of the man beside her.
Lin Shiheng loves cleanliness very much, she can smell the soap fragrance at the tip of her nose at this moment. During this period of time, because of her pregnancy, He Xuezhu's body has been uncomfortable, but her heart is a hundred times more peaceful than before.
Getting along with Shi Heng in the past made her feel that the two of them were just strangers with a marriage certificate. After marriage, life was more about living with her mother-in-law. In the past, she would secretly comfort herself in her heart, and Shi Heng would not take her there. The army was just worried that her mother-in-law was alone at home. In fact, he also loved her as a wife very much, otherwise he would not have mailed back half of the allowance every month.
I think so, but in the bottom of my heart, I always have a touch of inferiority and cowardice.
She was afraid, afraid that Shi Heng, who was walking higher and higher, would suddenly find out how useless his wife was, and that she would end up being abandoned in the end.
He Xuezhu was not afraid of suffering or being scolded, even if she was beaten, she just wanted to stay in this home.
Her husband's indifferent attitude and her mother-in-law's disgusting words made her tremble. Every day she opened her eyes and worked hard, hoping to express her useful information.
If he was really abandoned, He Xuezhu would have nowhere to go.
But now, leaning on her husband's broad shoulders, the tip of her nose was familiar with the scent of soap, she closed her eyes, put her hand on her already slightly bulging abdomen, and a reassuring smile appeared on the corners of her lips, falling asleep in the noisy voice. go with.
He Xiaobao was still a little fresh when he first got on the train, but when he was surrounded by people and unpleasant odors, and after sitting for a few hours, his back was sore, and his stomach was growling with hunger, the idea was fresh. Forgot about it long ago.
When He Xuezhu was not asleep before, he could still eloquently brag to his sister and husband that he was playing cards with his buddies in the village, how much he could win in one game, and when He Xuezhu fell asleep, Lin Shiheng would not let him speak.
He wanted to go home, to eat his mother's food, and to sleep on the warm quilt that his daughter-in-law took out to dry in his bed every time the sun came out.
He Xiaobao held back for several hours, getting more and more aggrieved, and couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law..."
"Shh."
The handsome-looking man who was wearing a military uniform and whose waist remained straight even after sitting for a few hours responded quickly, "Keep your voice down, and don't disturb your sister."
Noisy! Noisy!
Mother didn't say it, the sisters are all girl movies, and they all have to hold his brother.
He Xiaobao's heart was full of slander. Seeing how his capable brother-in-law was taking care of the third sister so carefully, he didn't dare to ignore He Xuezhu's feelings like he was at home, so he could only lower his voice and whispered aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law, I hungry."
"There is food in the bag."
Lin Shiheng freed one hand and threw the bag to He Xiaobao, "Take two steamed buns to eat."
He Xiaobao opened it and saw that there were steamed buns. His stomach was growling and he was about to take it out to eat. Suddenly, he saw two apples underneath, and his eyes lit up immediately.
Although he is much loved, his family should be poor or poor, and a good thing like an apple can only be eaten once when it grows up.
He didn't even plan to ask, he just took it out and put it in his mouth, but before he put it in, Lin Shiheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
He Xiaobao stared blankly at him with his mouth open: "Brother-in-law?"
From the time they made an appointment to go to the army together until now, didn't my brother-in-law take special care of him
"This is for your sister."
Lin Shiheng took the bag in one hand, put the apple back, and threw the two steamed buns to He Xiaobao.
He Xiaobao was shocked holding the steamed bun.
"Brother-in-law, how can you treat me like this? I'm your younger brother! Why would you give my sister something like an apple!"
His attitude is so taken for granted, after all, since childhood, his mother taught him that the girl's films were bad and even didn't even have to be eaten. He, a boy, had to eat the best.
"Little treasure."
Lin Shiheng put the bag on his knees, put his slender hands on the acupuncture points on his wife's head, massaged neither light nor heavy to ensure she would sleep more deeply, looked at his wife and brother, and asked:
"Did your brother-in-law give you the money for marrying your wife?"
He Xiaobao thought for a while and nodded, "Yes."
Although the first two brothers-in-law also gave, but this third brother-in-law gave the most, otherwise his mother would not ignore the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law and go to the third brother-in-law's house every day.
"Every time you come to the house, do I treat you well?"
He Xiaobao laughed: "brother-in-law, you are good to me, and I know that too."
Although Aunt Li glared at him, every time his brother-in-law came back, he could still get some benefits.
Seeing his smug smile, Lin Shiheng continued to speak softly: "Then you know, why am I being so nice to you?"
He Xiaobao couldn't answer this time. After chattering for a long time, he cautiously and tentatively asked, "Because we hit it off?"
Lin Shiheng shook his head with a smile, his voice was still gentle, and only the two of them could hear it: "Xiaobao, look at you, you are such a big person, and you have no courage and are too young to work on the ground."
"Every day I know that I don't talk about playing cards, and I have to take care of my daughter-in-law who just gave birth to a child. I have no loyalty to my friends, I have no filial piety to your mother, and I don't take care of the children. Said, I'm surprised that you can live so long without being beaten to death."
He Xiaobao stared blankly at the gentle smiling person in front of him: "Sister, brother-in-law..."
Lin Shiheng smiled and freed up a hand, like a good brother, and gently touched He Xiaobao's head: "I am good to you because you are Xuezhu's younger brother."
"Xiaobao, if your sister is happy, your brother-in-law is happy."
"Your sister is unhappy, and your brother-in-law will make you unhappy."
His smile was still very gentle, but He Xiaobao's face turned pale with fright. The brother-in-law who had always been good to him suddenly became like this, enough to make his body tremble slightly.
"I-I want to go home."
"I'm getting out of the car!"
Lin Shiheng withdrew his hand, first wiped his fingers on He Xiaobao's new clothes in disgust, and then returned to He Xuezhu's head, who had fallen asleep because of the massage acupoints.
The handsome man's voice hinted lightly: "Xiaobao, you told your brother-in-law before that you and the two bastards in the village play cards every day, right? They also opened a small gambling room?"
"You said that if I go to the public security bureau to report it, I will tell them that you provided the clue..."
He Xiaobao's brain was blank.
Those two bastards, but the leader of the village, he will die, he will definitely die.
Don't look at He Xiaobao running rampant at home, but all he relies on is his own mother's doting and holding. As Lin Shiheng said, He Xiaobao is a coward who is face-to-face and is scolded and dare not retaliate.
Facing the man who said such terrifying words, but his smile did not change, He Xiaobao's eyes turned red.
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong..."
He confessed.
woo woo woo woo.
***
He Xuezhu slept very sweetly this night, and even her stomach, which had been feeling uncomfortable, relaxed a lot. She opened her eyes, only to find that she was still leaning on her husband's shoulders, and quickly straightened her waist.
"Shi Heng, how long have I slept? Are your shoulders uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, what is this?"
Lin Shiheng smiled, took out the apple and water from the bag, and handed it to her, his eyes were gentle: "Do you have a dry mouth, drink some water?"
He Xuezhu took it, her face flushed because she was asleep before, and she smiled and said to him, "I don't know if this train is crowded, it's very hot."
"Sister, are you hot??"
He Xiaobao, who was sitting across from him, hurriedly and diligently picked up a book that Lin Shiheng was reading before on the table, and fanned He Xuezhu.
He Xuezhu looked at this younger brother with a look of fright: "...Xiaobao?"
It's good that he doesn't let himself fan the wind. What's the matter, and he's giving her sister an advantage
"Little Treasure, go get some hot water after drinking the water." Lin Shiheng didn't look surprised at all, he handed the kettle over, watching his fat wife and brother hurriedly agreed, hugged the kettle and squeezed it out. Turning her head to the surprised He Xuezhu, she said, "What's wrong?"
He Xuezhu: "... Xiaobao, why is he so diligent?"
I also got water. When I was at home, I wished I could do everything on the bed.
"It's like this when kids grow up."
Lin Shiheng gently embraced his wife's shoulders: "Don't you want Xiaobao to grow up earlier?"
He Xuezhu still couldn't believe it. She leaned against her husband's arms and her voice was dreamy: "I'm not dreaming, right?"
She had thought about how good it would be if Xiaobao could be sensible. Compared with her mother who was always beating and scolding, He Xuezhu still had hope for this younger brother who had secretly stuffed her with food when she was a child.
It's just that as He Xiaobao grew up, he might not even remember him when he was a child.
The car stopped, and the people who arrived at the station got off one after another, and then some people got on the bus.
Lin Shiheng carefully guarded his wife beside him, the crowd was surging, and a figure sat on He Xiaobao's seat.
He Xuezhu hurriedly said, "Sorry, there is someone in this position."
The man in the seat put down the things impatiently without raising his head: "Can't I buy it?"
"Deputy Zhang?"
Hearing the voice full of doubts on the opposite side, Zhang Yanming stiffened and raised his head in disbelief, just in time to meet Lin Shiheng's slightly frowning gaze.
"Yanming, help me carry it..." Miao Xing's voice came from behind. She struggled to walk through the crowd with two large bags and wanted to hand it to Zhang Yanming, who was sitting in the seat, when she found him After his shocked gaze, he followed and looked at Lin Shiheng, his expression froze.
At this moment, the two of them were sweating all the way because they almost missed the train. Then they looked at Lin Shiheng, who was sitting across from him. His uniform was neat and clean, and his handsome face was very refreshing.
Whether it was Miao Xing, who still had some thoughts about Lin Shiheng, or Zhang Yanming, who loved face and thought he was a rival in love, his face was not looking good.
Especially Zhang Yanming, he was looking forward to visiting Miao Xing's family, but after he went there, he only saw two sloppy old people who were sloppy and kept asking about his salary and a sloppy old man. Brother who wants money.
What's even more outrageous is that the younger brother, who is not at all like Miao Xing, gave him money to buy tickets, but he was able to spend all the money, and Zhang Yanming didn't have a ticket when he went to buy it again. , and when they were about to leave, the younger brother came out and stopped him from leaving without paying, which almost caused the two of them to delay the train.
Originally, the smell of sweat was enough to make Zhang Yanming angry, but when he was most embarrassed, he bumped into Lin Shiheng.
The man who used to be full of arrogance in the past had a gloomy expression and said nothing.
He Xuezhu didn't know the grievances between the three, and asked curiously, "Shi Heng, do you know each other?"
"In the army, Zhang Yanming and Zhang's deputy regiment, and the one next to him is his wife."
Lin Shiheng didn't seem to see Miao Xing's line of sight at all. He tilted his head and glanced at He Xuezhu softly before saying, "My wife, He Xuezhu, is going with me this time."
Before Zhang Yanming could speak, Miao Xing spoke first: "Hello."
She looked at He Xuezhu, and saw that although her appearance was delicate, her skin was a little yellow, her exposed hands were not as white as her own, and her belly even had a little belly, and she immediately felt a sense of superiority in her heart.
But she is such a woman, who can compare to her
Just thinking of this, a chubby young man holding a kettle was squeezed out of the crowd. When he arrived in front of him, he didn't care about anything else, so he put the kettle in front of He Xuezhu first.
"Sister, is it still hot when you drink water? I'll give you a fan."
Seeing Zhang Yanming looking at him, Lin Shiheng said, "Lieutenant Zhang, this is my wife's younger brother, He Xiaobao, a child. You are taking his seat this time."
Looking at He Xiaobao, who was caring for his sister in every possible way, and thinking of Miao Xing's younger brother's desperate look for money, Zhang Yanming's face became even darker.
I don't know how lucky Lin Shiheng is to have such a sensible wife and brother.
They are all brothers, how can they be so different.
