Lou Luhui's face turned even darker after hearing clearly the two old men's plan.
The third sister hasn't figured it out yet, but she's already thinking about the fourth sister? This is unbearable!
Besides, if it was someone else, it would be fine. How important is a girl's reputation? In the future, if the third sister doesn't like Wang Linkun, won't she just get a bad reputation for being arrogant
Tian Xin is my wife’s biological sister, just like my own sister.
Despite her young age, she is considerate enough to get up early every day to make breakfast for the whole family, and she also carefully studies recipes suitable for pregnant women.
Although Mr. Wang said this out of selfish motives, it was mostly out of good intentions.
After all, even Wang Linkun's family has not given in, so others have to think twice before making any moves.
The first is to consider whether he is better than Wang Linkun, and the second is whether he has the courage to steal Wang Lujia's girl.
But he felt that what Wang Lu did would do more harm than good. After all, he and Lao Chen were not so bad as to be unable to protect a little girl.
Thinking about this, Lou Luhui curled his lips slightly and said, "Commander, look at you, you took the joke seriously. But my third sister is really young, so it's too early to talk about getting married. It will take at least a few more years."
Hearing this, Political Commissar Liu looked at his old partner with an expression that immediately turned into a gloating one. You deserve it! You dare to say anything.
Wang Lu was embarrassed, but when he thought about it, what he said just now was indeed inappropriate, so he looked at everyone and bravely admitted his mistake: "What I mean is that Comrade Tian Xin is still young, what are you, Zhou, dreaming about? Everyone knows who is real and who is fake, and you are not right just because you cry!"
At this point, he pointed at the crowd of onlookers and said, "It's New Year's Day, what do you have to do? Go away."
When the leader got angry, everyone had to suppress their curiosity and scattered like birds and beasts.
After all the onlookers left, Brigade Wang said to the guard beside him, "Go find Zhou Dajun and ask him to come to my office immediately. I want to ask him if he was involved in this matter and how he plans to solve it."
Compared with Political Commissar Liu's gentle approach to doing things, Brigade Commander Wang is usually decisive and resolute.
He ignored Ma Erhua's crying and asked two young soldiers to take her away.
Seeing that Ma Erhua was still trying to throw a tantrum, Wang Lu glared at her and said, "If you don't stop, I'll have you thrown off the island right now!"
Hearing this, Ma Erhua immediately shut her mouth. Not to mention crying, she didn't even dare to breathe to make any loud noise. She saw with her own eyes how Liu Xiujiu was thrown out like a dead dog.
Seeing this, Tian Mi almost wanted to roll her eyes. As expected, he was a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak.
Of course, only Brigade Wang can come up with such a tough solution.
"Tiantian, are you and elder sister okay?" After everyone had left, Lou Luhui supported them and asked worriedly.
Tian Mi shook her head: "My elder sister and I are fine, but what did Wang Lu mean by that? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"
"That's right, brother-in-law, our third sister is still young. Let's at least wait until she is 20 years old." Tian Yu also looked disapproving.
Lou Luhui felt wronged: "Wang Lu did mention this matter, but Lao Chen and I refused every time."
After listening to her husband's explanation, Tian Mi no longer asked about her third sister. Instead, she took her eldest sister's hand and turned back to the health station.
Tian Xin just happened to run out. Her face was a little pale. She was relieved to see that her sisters were fine. "Big sister, are you okay? The head nurse said you wouldn't let me out. I was so worried."
Tian Mi took her sister's hand and said, "What's the hurry? Are my elder sister and I the kind of people who are easy to bully? But you, how are you? Are you scared?"
Tian Xin shook her head: "Before I could react, Xiaoyan pulled me away, and then the head nurse chased me out."
As for what the old lady said, she didn't believe a word of it. She knew exactly how her elder and second sisters treated her. If she had any doubts, it would be because she had a bad conscience.
"I'm glad you didn't get scared. Do you still want to accompany Xiaoyan to make ice lanterns? Or do you want to go back with us first?" Tian Yu raised his hand to smooth out the messy hair on the third sister's head.
Hearing this, Tian Xin said, "Wait for me," and immediately ran back to the health station.
About two minutes later, she hurried back and took her elder sister's hand: "I have an appointment with Xiaoyan to make ice lanterns in the afternoon. I will go back with you first."
On the way, Tian Xin tried hard to act normal.
It was only after she got home and her second brother-in-law left that she worriedly asked, "Second sister, is it bad for my second brother-in-law to talk to the brigade commander like that?"
Tian Mi was sitting on the sofa, squinting her eyes and drinking milk tea. She didn't care when she heard that: "It's okay. Your brother-in-law has a good relationship with Wang Lu. Besides, Wang Lu won't get angry over such a small matter."
At this point, she suddenly held the cup and said to the little girl seriously: "Xinxin, although you are still young, there are some things that Second Sister still needs to explain to you clearly."
"What?" Why did you suddenly become serious
Tian Yu also looked over curiously.
Seeing the little girl getting nervous again, Tian Mi patted her head soothingly: "Don't be nervous, I just want to make it clear to you where I and your elder sister stand. We took you here because you are a good girl. As your elder sister, we hope that you can see more of the world and have better possibilities in the future. But we will not make the decision for you about your marriage partner. It's a matter of a lifetime, and you have to decide it yourself. It's just that you are too young now. I suggest that you consider it after you are 20 years old. For now, we should focus on studying. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I meant. You are my sister, and we are helping you voluntarily. But for your marriage, the sisters can only give you some advice, but we won't make the decision. Don't worry."
Although Tian Xin felt that it was not realistic for her to find such a thing on her own, as her sisters said, she was still young and there was no need to rush.
At worst, she can just ask her elder and second sisters to give her some advice.
Brigade Commander's Office.
Brigade leader Wang had a dark face and gave Zhou Dajun a stern lecture, ordering him to send that troublesome brother away immediately.
As for Ma Erhua, he warned her clearly that this was the first and last time, and if it happened again, he would show no mercy.
Lu Wang is a man who really protects his own men. He is very nice to his soldiers and doesn't seem to be arrogant on normal days. However, if anyone makes a mistake, he will transform into a fire-breathing dragon and spray the person so hard that he can't even lift his head.
".I'll say it one last time. Your mother is not a good person. I suggest you send her back to her hometown and bring your wife and children over. Otherwise, you will be implicated by Comrade Ma Erhua sooner or later!"
Of course Zhou Dajun knew what kind of person his mother was, but every time he asked her to go back to her hometown, she would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide. She was his mother, what could he do
"Did you hear what I said?"
Zhou Dajun straightened his expression and said, "I heard it!"
Wang Lu waved his hand in disdain: "If you hear it, hurry up and do it for me."
"yes!"
After driving away the listless Zhou Dajun, he walked around the office for a few rounds and finally got angry and made a phone call.
A certain army in the south.
Wang Linkun, who was also busy with New Year's preparations, walked into the group leader's office with a helpless look on his face, and was not surprised to be met with his gloating expression.
"Lin Kun, what's going on with your old man? He called yesterday and called again today? Isn't this another call to urge us to get married?"
Except for his high nose, the rest of Wang Linkun's face does not look like his father. If you think carefully, he looks about 70% like his uncle.
His mother Ruan Mei's family are all intellectuals, so his temperament is not like that of a soldier. His skin is so white that it never gets tanned. He looks gentle and handsome, and he always smiles. People who don't know him will be deceived by his appearance and think he is gentle and elegant.
But those who are familiar with him know how dark this person is inside.
Even though he felt helpless about his father's persistence, his face was still as bright as spring breeze: "Captain, I met my sister-in-law when I came here just now."
The team leader was confused: "What?"
The gentle and handsome man said gently: "I told my sister-in-law where your wine is hidden."
The head of the group stood up angrily and pointed at the man: "You! You little bastard, why did you tell my wife? Is it easy for me to hide some wine?"
Wang Linkun raised his hand and pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and asked with a smile: "Why did the captain laugh at me?"
"I" the captain stood up angrily, speechless for a moment and then argued: "I just laughed at you, but that was just now. You took action earlier than me. When you told your sister-in-law, I hadn't done anything yet! Tell me, why are you so wicked?"
Wang Linkun said calmly: "Oh! I just predicted the leader's behavior in advance and took the initiative."
"You little rascal, you're just drinking the good wine I saved up with great difficulty!" The captain beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Captain, I guess you can still save it if you go back now."
Hearing this, the captain glared and ran out.
After everyone left, the regiment commander's orderly asked curiously: "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, when did you tell your sister-in-law?" He went to call someone to answer the phone, but he clearly came with them, so how come he didn't see it.
Wang Linkun sat on a chair waiting for a call. During this time, he comfortably made himself a cup of tea. Hearing this, he chuckled: "Oh~ I lied to him."
The attendant's expression twisted, and then he said in a cryptic way: "Then didn't the captain, who was so impatient, report the drinking incident directly when he got home?"
"Well, that's bad. It seems to be the case. However, I didn't say that. It was the captain himself who told Xiao Wang that drinking is harmful to the body. I was doing this for his own good."
Seeing Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's sincere expression, Xiao Wang, the orderly, whose scalp was inexplicably tingling, swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, I'm going out first."
Just then the phone rang, and Wang Linkun said gently, "Well, go ahead and get busy."
After saying this, he reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello? Dad! It's me."
After confirming that it was his eldest son who answered the phone this time, Wang Lu directly told him what happened today. At the end, he said angrily, "Tell me, why can't you come back to see me? Good girls are sought after by hundreds of families. Do you really think you are the best? I have lost all my face for you, an unfilial son. But you lied to me and said there was a mission. Do you think I am stupid? Get lost, you still want to lie to me. I called your leader and he said you were on holiday for the New Year. What? Before you lied to me, didn't you think of informing your leader first?"
Wang Linkun moved the receiver to the side to save his ears, then chuckled and said, "Captain, you are not wronged."
"What? The commander is not wronged?" The voice of Brigade Wang, like firecrackers, came from the phone again.
Wang Linkun took off his glasses and placed them on the table. He pinched his brows and put them back on before saying, "Dad, I don't object to blind dates and marriages, but the other party is too young. I remember you said he was only 17 years old during the Chinese New Year. If I really go back to see him, what has your son become? An animal?"
"Do I want you to marry her now? Do you think I'm a beast? I just want you to get to know her first. She may not like you, so why are you being so hypocritical?"
"Okay, Dad, it's New Year's Day, don't be angry. Although I don't have any mission, I am trying to get the opportunity to go to the military academy for further studies for a few years next year. Now I really don't have time to think about a partner." Wang Linkun is a very rational person. He knows very well what he wants. At least in the past few years, he just wants to fight for it while he is young. After he graduates from the military academy, he should be able to be promoted to the regimental level in two years.
There are many talented people in the army. If he doesn't try his best while he is still young, he can't always rely on his father to pave the way for him.
As for becoming brothers-in-law with Brother Lou and Brother Chen, it would be the best if it works out, but if it doesn't, it doesn't matter. After all, their friendship over the years is not in vain, and he believes in each other's character.
If he really encounters difficulties, they will help him without him even asking.
Of course, he also understood his father's anxiety, as the old man would retire in ten years at most.
In this world, people forget about you when you leave, and favors become less and less each time you use them.
"Can you go to military school for further studies? Have you managed to get it?" Hearing that his eldest son really had something to do and was not just perfunctorily doing it, Wang Lu finally felt better.
Wang Linkun chuckled: "Don't worry, don't you know your son yet? He won't say anything he's not sure of."
“You little brat, it’s good that you understand. But you should also keep Tian Xin in your heart. She is a really good girl, and her family also said that they won’t let her find a partner before she turns 20. So after you finish college, maybe you will still be able to find a partner.” After all, Wang Lu really likes Tian Xin, and Lou Luhui and Chen Gang standing behind her.
This time Wang Linkun didn't say anything to spoil the fun: "Okay, don't worry, I'll keep it in mind."
The father and son chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
After he put the receiver on the phone, Wang Linkun suddenly became curious about how good the little girl named Tian Xin was who was so loved by her parents.
In the evening, after taking a shower, Tian Mi gave the down jacket she had made with great difficulty to her husband for him to try on.
Lou Luhui was a little surprised. As he put on his clothes, he asked, "It's done so quickly? Did you do it for yourself?"
Tian Mi helped her husband button his clothes. Zippers seemed to have just appeared at that time and were not available here, so they could only use buttons. For this, she also learned the skill of buttonhole making: "No, I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, I stay at home every day. You have to go out and get cold, so I'll make it for you first."
Hearing this, Lou Luhui was so moved that he bent down and kissed his wife: "My Tiantian is so nice."
Seeing the man's genuine emotion, Tian Mi tactfully swallowed back the words "Practice your skills well and then make it for yourself".
Never mind, she was actually so considerate and virtuous: "How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, it's quite warm." There was a kang (a heating pad) burning in the room, and he had just finished a shower, so he felt warm in a short while.
Tian Mi turned around and took her husband's military uniform hanging in the cupboard: "Put it on and see if it makes you feel uncomfortable."
Lou Luhui did as he was told. After buttoning up to the top, he moved his arms a few times and said honestly, "It's not as comfortable as wearing a military uniform alone, but it's much more convenient than a military coat. It's especially light. It's good. Thank you for your hard work, Tiantian."
As he said this, the man hugged the person and kissed her again.
Originally, I really just wanted to hug her and kiss her, but as newlyweds, it's easy for something to go wrong.
As they were kissing, they rolled onto the bed.
When Lou Luhui took off his clothes and was about to bend over again, his wife raised her hand to cover his lips.
He smiled and reached out to hold his wife's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, then asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Tian Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm pregnant, have you forgotten?"
a bolt from the blue!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Lou Luhui's whole body was stiff. After a while, he kissed his wife's already swollen lips deeply, then he sighed and turned over to lie flat on the outside.
He really forgot about it just now.
Seeing her husband lying on the side gasping for breath, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, Tian Mi turned over, half-lying on him, and kissed his eyes. He looked pitiful, his eyes were red with grievance, making people want to bully him: "Hui Hui, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
Lou Luhui's Adam's apple rolled rapidly after being kissed. He put his arms around his wife, and along her back, he said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine. As long as you don't provoke me, I'll be fine in a while."
But your muscles are almost stretched into rocks, and your breath is getting hotter and hotter. You don't look like you're okay.
After lying on the man in silence for more than ten seconds, Tian Mi bit her lip softly when she saw that the man was not in a good condition. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
Suddenly, the veins on Lou Luhui's forehead popped out. He excitedly held his wife's hand and gritted his teeth, saying, "Keep your word."
“.”
The next day was New Year’s Eve.
Early that morning, Lou Luhui went to the army refreshed.
According to him, the whole day will be very busy, with a pig-slaughtering banquet in the morning, a movie at noon, and a performance (social gathering) by the art troupe in the afternoon.
In order to make time for those unmarried guys, married officers would always be extremely busy at this time.
Of course, as it was his first time to participate in this event as a married man, Lou Luhui expressed his pride.
After her husband left, Tian Mi stayed in bed for a while, massaged her sore arms for a while, and then got up.
Because today is the New Year's Eve, we have to prepare more sumptuous lunch and dinner.
There are eight people in the family, plus Zhou Jianshe, and several single officers under her husband and brother-in-law. There are about fifteen or sixteen people for lunch, so she has to go there early to help her eldest sister.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at my eldest sister's house, I found that my eldest sister and third sister were already busy.
While hanging clothes, Tian Mi asked with a smile: "What time did you get up? I got up early today, but seeing how you look, you guys must have been up for an hour or two, right?"
"Haha, almost. I'm busy during the Chinese New Year every year. If I don't get up early, I'll miss it. So the mutton should be stewed in advance, right? Braised pork is also a good job. Go have breakfast first, and then come to help after you finish eating." Tian Yu was blanching pork. After her second sister took breakfast out of the pot, she hurriedly said:
"Oh! I almost forgot. Open the door under the table. There's food inside."
Tian Mi was drinking porridge. She hummed vaguely when she heard the words, then stood up to open the cupboard door. Looking at the various snacks inside, she asked in surprise, "Where did all these foods come from?"
"What your brother-in-law brought back yesterday was a New Year gift from Ge Yun. It was a whole big package. When you go back later, you can take some back to eat."
"Okay!" Tian Mi took out a fried dough twist and put it into her mouth without being polite to her elder sister.
She held the fried dough twist in her mouth, peeled the egg shell and put it into the porridge bowl, and picked up two pieces of dried radish. She dragged a stool and sat at the kitchen door. While eating breakfast, she chatted with the two people: "How is Ge Yun now?"
When Tian Yu mentioned this, he was very happy: "She is fine. She wrote me a very thick letter. Xiaoyun is the only girl in her family. Her parents dote on her, and her brother and sister-in-law also spoil her. From the words in the letter, you can see that she has recovered well."
Tian Mi sighed: "Ge Yun is both unfortunate and lucky. Not every married girl can be treated well by her parents."
In later generations, there are too many women who become outsiders after they get married.
Hearing this, Tian Yu also sighed: "What you said is right. It's hard for women in this world. Once you get married, your parents' home is not your home, and your husband's home is not your home either. So when choosing a man, you must choose well, otherwise it will be you and your children who will suffer. Xiaoyun was born into a family that loves their daughters. Most families would not let their children divorce just because of a fight between husband and wife. They just persuade them and let them endure it because they think divorce is shameful."
At this point, she glanced at her third sister who was cutting vegetables and warned her, "Big sister is talking about most families. If you get married in the future and someone bullies you, don't endure it. Tell the sisters and they will take care of it for you."
Tian Mi also nodded: "Big sister is right, we are here to take care of everything, don't be timid outside."
Tian Xin stopped what she was doing, and after a while she managed to say something softly: "Or I'd better not get married. It's too troublesome."
"Haha, that's fine, as long as you are happy and can withstand the gossips from others." In fact, if she hadn't happened to meet a Hui who satisfied her in every way, she wouldn't necessarily have to get married.
If she had known at that time that the gold could be exchanged for two places in the army, she might have been living a different life now. All she can say is that everything is fate.
Of course, she will never stop investing in herself. Even if something really happens in the future, since she has the courage to get married, she also has the ability to get divorced.
"Nonsense? Who doesn't get married?" As a native of this place, Tian Yu couldn't accept the arguments of his two younger sisters and scolded them with a dark face.
Tian Mi stuck out her tongue and buried her head in eating.
Seeing that she was obedient, Tian Yu looked at the third sister with satisfaction: "You still have to get married. Besides, not all men are bad. Look at your eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, aren't they very good? It shows that most men are good."
"That's not necessarily true. In my family, Hui people are a minority."
"you shut up!"
Tian Xin: “Puff!”
Lunch on New Year’s Eve is considered the most sumptuous meal of the whole year.
Even if the family is poor, they have to serve two meat dishes, such as pork and fish.
If the conditions are better, they will add a dish of fried eggs, which is at least a meat dish.
When the men came back and saw the two eight-immortal tables put together, filled with delicious dishes, except for Lou Luhui, Chen Gang and Zhou Jianshe who already knew about it, the other officers all showed surprise on their faces.
The two brothers-in-law did not entertain anyone. They asked the officers to find a seat themselves and went straight to the kitchen.
Their wives are pregnant, and if the team wasn’t too busy, they would all like to help at home themselves.
After entering the kitchen, Lou Lu went up to his wife who was cooking and took the spatula from her. Then he asked softly, "Are you tired? Let me do it."
Chen Gang also helped his wife sit aside, took the soup spoon from her hand and continued to scoop soup: "Comrade Xiaoyu, you have worked hard, go out and have a rest."
Xiao Fang and Xiao Zhou, the waiters who had come to help for half a day, looked at each other.
There's still some space left, why do I suddenly feel difficulty breathing
Or should they go out first
After Xiao Fang and Xiao Zhou left, Tian Mi half leaned on her husband and said, "It's OK. Didn't you ask Xiao Fang and the others to come and help? I just flipped the spoon a few times, so I was tired."
"That's good. Actually, according to what Lao Chen and I said, this year is a special case. It's the same if we go to Brigade Wang or Political Commissar Liu's house for a meal. You don't need to work so hard."
Chen Gang was about to take out the soup bowl. Upon hearing this, he looked at his wife and said, "That's right. It would be great to go to the leader's house and eat ready-made food."
Tian Mi looked at her sister speechlessly, chuckled twice in her heart, and said, Thank you so much, Captain Wang and Political Commissar Liu.
There are eight meat dishes, including braised pork, mutton and sea cucumber soup, abalone with sauce, spicy fried octopus, braised fish, steamed egg with dried shrimp, pork stewed with vermicelli, and stewed goose. The portions are so generous that you can feel full even if you eat the vegetables, let alone eat with rice.
After the last seafood and vegetable soup was served on the table, Chen Gang, as the head of the family, took the lead in picking up the wine glass: "As for me, I won't say any more nonsense, I know everyone is greedy."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Zhou Jianshe even started to make a noise: "If you know, just tell us quickly. Then we can start eating. We are all waiting to start eating."
Hearing this, Chen Gang raised his hand and smiled: "Okay, okay, okay! I won't nag anymore. Let's raise our glasses together. I wish you all a happy new year in advance! All the best!"
"Happy New Year! Everything goes well with you!"
