After dealing with the hospital matters, Zhan Aiping, Gu Sheng, Li Yuxia, yesterday's driver Zheng Hua, and the broken car that Zhan Aiping had repaired, the four of them drove up the mountain road and shaky back.
In order to wash away the shame, young comrade Zheng Hua drove very seriously and attentively. Li Yuxia, sitting in the co-pilot seat, kept praising him: "Young comrade, you drove much better than yesterday..."
Zheng Hua: “…” If you continue to say that, he will get emotional!
It's hard not to get upset when being watched by such a women's director. I might as well just stand guard.
Zhan Aiping and her husband Gu Sheng sat in the back, with Gu Sheng holding her shoulders. The couple looked at the scenery outside the window with interest, because this little old car was not going very fast, and ignoring its shaking, it was just like a sightseeing bus.
Apart from anything else, the scenery outside the window is really amazing. The sky here is very blue, and because there is no winter all year round, the vegetation grows lushly, the forest scenery is picturesque, and there are many wild animals.
Gu Sheng said: "There is a chance to meet Peacock."
Zhan Aiping: "I want to see the white peacock."
In addition to beautiful wild animals like peacocks, there are also frightening things like elephants, pythons, and poisonous snakes. Li Yuxia reminded: "Xiao Zhan, if you are alone, don't go into the forest."
"You think there are leaves and stones under your feet, but there may be seven or eight snakes coiled there to enjoy the cool air. Don't think I'm trying to scare you."
Zhan Aiping smiled: "Okay, thank you Director Li for reminding me."
Li Yuxia: “…”
She looked back and caught a glimpse of Captain Gu whispering something in his wife's ear. The couple laughed together, holding hands and looking at each other with smiles.
When Director Li saw this situation, she felt very upset.
What was she, the director of women's affairs, doing yesterday? She was here to mediate the conflict! She was here to appease the military families! But she did nothing to mediate the conflict that day. She just watched the military families show off their skills.
Yesterday, he drove and repaired the car, and even performed surgery at the hospital. Well, the emotional Captain Gu calmed down. Originally, I thought he would go to the dean to make trouble, but in the end, he came to do the right thing and played a huge role in the rescue command...
—The couple received praise from the military hospital!
It also said that a meeting would be held to commend them!
Li Yuxia: “…” Even movies on the screen don’t dare to act like this.
Yesterday, she accompanied someone to donate blood. When she saw the blood bag, she felt dizzy and almost caused trouble for the hospital. She had to stay aside for the whole night.
The hospital said they wanted to thank her, but she felt so unworthy that her face turned red with embarrassment.
After what happened yesterday, the relationship between the newlywed couple at the back seemed to have warmed up.
But Li Yuxia's heart sank to the bottom. She remembered her preparations and her notebook.
She really didn't believe it!
What new couple doesn’t have some conflicts
—Sooner or later she will have to mediate the marriage and family conflicts between these two people!
*
Gu Sheng and Zhan Aiping returned home. The couple took a shower and changed their clothes first. Zhan Aiping washed herself thoroughly and washed her hair carefully.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been in the hospital for too long, but I always feel the smell of disinfectant around me.
Her long hair fell to her shoulders. Compared with the Chinese New Year, her hair was longer and shiny black. Zhan Aiping applied hair oil on her hair.
Gu Sheng had already washed all the clothes for her. He got an old electric fan from somewhere and asked Zhan Aiping to blow her hair in front of the fan. It happened to be noon, and the wind was particularly comfortable.
"Did you get this old fan in exchange for your good relationships?" The climate here is hot, but not too hot. The hottest temperature is only around early summer, a little over 30 degrees Celsius, and the temperature on cold days is just over 10 degrees Celsius. If you try hard, you don't need an electric fan even on a very hot day.
It is cooler at night than during the day, so there is even less need for a fan.
Zhan Aiping quite likes this kind of climate, except that it is a little too humid and hot, making it a paradise for all kinds of insects, snakes and mosquitoes.
"Almost. I spent money on it." But it didn't cost much. The old fan can be used and it's cheap. Captain Gu, who used to spend money lavishly when he was single, has now learned to be thrifty.
Gu Sheng, who had not yet handed in his salary, planned to save some money before handing it in, so that his wife wouldn't find out that he was a prodigal son who had not saved much money after so many years of military service.
Some officers and soldiers in the army are really good at saving money. They stay in the army all year round and don't spend a penny, sending it all home.
Gu Sheng's family was well off and he didn't need to support a family. He didn't have much desire to save money. He even thought that he had no chance of getting married. So, he never treated himself badly when it came to things like cigarettes and alcohol. He would buy good things instead of bad ones. In addition to his military uniform, he would also buy himself some casual clothes from the store. As for eating out occasionally, that was not to mention...
Now that he has a family, he can no longer spend lavishly like before. He needs to be frugal, lest his wife despise him for being a spendthrift.
"Pingping, when my salary and allowances are paid next month, I will give them to you for safekeeping. I will give you my salary and savings. You will be in charge of our family's money from now on."
Zhan Aiping smiled: "Okay, Brother Gu Wu, it turns out you still have some savings..."
Gu Sheng's face darkened: "Why don't I have any savings?"
“… just not as much as you.” Comrade Xiao Gu said this with no confidence, because he really didn’t have much savings.
Although Zhan Aiping is a woman, she is more frugal than him when she is in the army and does not spend much on food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Zhan Aiping: “…” Comrade Zhan suddenly felt that their family had been swapped with another family, and that she had married a “prodigal man”.
"You spent a lot of money on your recent wedding, I'm worried that your savings will be used up." Gu Sheng paid for the wedding wine, Zhan Aiping didn't spend much money, and most of the money for moving to the new home was also spent by Gu Sheng.
—making his already tight pockets even worse.
The word "poor" is written in capital letters on his face.
Gu Sheng insisted: "Not bad."
Zhan Aiping teased: "Can't even afford a cigarette?"
Gu Sheng: “…Not really.”
He dared not buy good cigarettes, and he was too embarrassed to smoke cheap ones. It would be better to quit smoking. Captain Gu, who was only 25 years old, felt the troubles and pains of starting a family.
I can't be a cool man anymore.
—He doesn’t want to see Captain Jiang.
In the past, they were both cool together, but now only Captain Jiang is left.
"From now on, you give me your salary and allowances, and I will give you pocket money every month. As for your previous savings, keep them as your private money, your little piggy bank." Zhan Aiping guessed that the money was not much.
"Okay." Gu Sheng hugged her from behind and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't have any secret stash of money now.
—We are out of ammunition and food.
Zhan Aiping raised her hand and touched his head: "I will give you 20 yuan pocket money every month from now on."
Gu Sheng's monthly salary is not low. If it were someone else's, it would be enough to support the whole family. In addition, he had won a second-class merit before, so he received a percentage of his salary subsidy every month.
"Wife, you are so generous."
Zhan Aiping asked him, "How much are other families paying?"
Gu Sheng stretched out a hand.
"Five dollars?"
Gu Sheng: "That's quite a lot, some are just not there at all."
"Then you must remember my kindness."
Gu Sheng smiled: "My wife is the best."
In fact, they don't necessarily have to spend money during the month they serve in the army. He doesn't have to buy cigarettes, alcohol, clothes, or cook for himself. The twenty yuan is enough to get by. He can make his own clothes and eat at home. He doesn't need to drink alcohol. One or two packs of cigarettes are enough.
If you calculate it this way, life is not necessarily worse than before, but I still have the burden of supporting the family.
Comrade Xiao Gu, who is already married, sometimes still envies Captain Jiang's carefree bachelor life.
You will definitely be hurt by his words.
But it doesn’t matter, Comrade Gu’s face is now thicker than the city wall.
"Wait until tomorrow and ask someone you know to come over and make a home-cooked meal for you to meet some people. We won't cook for you ourselves. Let Xiao Xie and the others from the kitchen come. There are so many people and it will be tiring for you to cook. Let them cook for you."
"Okay." Zhan Aiping agreed. Now that she was here, she should meet the people in Gu Sheng's group.
With so many people, washing dishes and cooking will be troublesome, so it would be better to ask the kitchen staff to come and help.
"Let them bring their own pots and pans, and we can save ourselves some trouble."
Zhan Aiping smiled: "You just want me to be a lazy wife."
"I haven't had enough of the food you cooked, so how can I let others come to eat it? I will be at a big loss." Comrade Gu Sheng is well aware of the principle of "making a fortune in silence", so there is no need to shout and show off.
I’m afraid that everyone will want to come to his house for a free meal.
"Do you believe that my cooking is delicious now?"
Gu Sheng smiled: "Whether it tastes good or not, I have to eat enough first before I can tell."
"Oh, right." Zhan Aiping asked him, "Dear underground party comrade, how do you want me to act tomorrow?"
"Why are you still acting now, good revolutionary comrades? We have already arrived in the liberated areas. Look, the sky in the liberated areas is blue. There is no need to act. Just do as you please."
"real?"
Gu Sheng gently held the back of her head with his hand and kissed her on the corner of her mouth: "Is this true? I'm telling the truth. I've liked you for so many years, and now I finally marry you. Shouldn't I be happy?"
"It's nothing to be ashamed of if you tell others about it..."
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Then I will act as myself."
Gu Sheng: "My wife, take it easy and give me some face."
"Okay, okay, okay."
In the evening, Gu Sheng said he wanted to learn how to cook. The couple dared to learn and teach, so they cooked together. They made two dishes and tasted them. They were not bad. Gu Sheng commented: "When a man and a woman work together, the work is not tiring."
"From now on, I'll cut the vegetables and you cook, or I'll cook and you cut the vegetables..."
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "Let's make some soup when we have time."
"Get some pig bones when we kill the pig."
As the couple chatted, the two gluttons finished the meal together. Gu Sheng was in his prime and had a big appetite, and so did Zhan Aiping, who ate as much as an adult man. The two gluttons together consumed a huge amount of food.
Gu Sheng said with emotion: "For people like us, it is better to join the army."
Zhan Aiping: "... Or you can go and ask Dean Xu to take me in."
"Regret it? There's no point in regretting it."
"I'll become a barefoot doctor first, and my patients might give me a lot of delicious food as consultation fee."
Zhan Aiping was washing dishes at night. She didn't want to be a hands-off boss every day. "I'll wash the clothes at night. Don't take it away. I'll help you wash the clothes."
"Okay." Gu Sheng took a shower for a long time. Finally, he took a small stool, turned on the radio, and sat under the skylight, watching Zhan Aiping washing clothes.
Zhan Aiping: "...Your eyes are like those of an overseer."
Gu Sheng laughed: "It's not easy to get a chance to see you wash clothes, of course I have to take a closer look."
Zhan Aiping: "Remember to tell your comrades tomorrow that I helped you wash clothes yesterday."
Gu Sheng: "... Do you still want to gain a reputation as a good wife?"
Zhan Aiping laughed, "It's not easy for me to help you wash once, of course I have to let the world know about it."
"The clothes here are thin and easy to wash. It's not a big deal. Don't even dream of being praised."
"That's true." How long can you wash a few thin summer clothes? There is nothing dirty except dust and sweat.
After washing the clothes, the radio was turned on. The couple had nothing else to do, so they listened to the radio and studied the "sewing machine". To be honest, neither of them knew how to use the sewing machine.
The two of them fumbled and studied for a long time.
Zhan Aiping stepped on the sewing machine and found it quite fun. Dadadadada—
The fabric is passed through the needle and thread, and a neat strip is sewn out. It is very stress-relieving for both lazy people and people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it gives them an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Zhan Aiping said, "I'll just make the clothes myself."
Gu Sheng asked doubtfully, "Isn't it me who did it? I, your fifth brother, will definitely do what I say."
Zhan Aiping thought that you have to be able to do it. She discovered when she sat down just now that this sewing machine is not too high and cannot be adjusted, which is convenient for women. For Zhan Aiping's height, it is still suitable for operating the sewing machine, but it is a bit cramped. Given Gu Sheng's height and long legs, he can't even operate it.
Not suitable!
Zhan Aiping said casually: "Help me make the prints and drawings."
"It's offensive to ask you to step on a sewing machine."
Gu Sheng laughed: "You finally understand, I can't do this at all."
Zhan Aiping: "I knew there must be a trap when you agreed to it. I'm so heartbroken. I was fooled by you and made a phone call for nothing."
"Pingping, you look really beautiful when you operate the sewing machine." Gu Sheng smiled and bent down to kiss her on the face.
He made a good choice by buying this sewing machine!
His wife is going to make clothes for him!
"Gu Sheng, you are so flexible and tolerant... and you are so good at pretending, you big-tailed wolf." Zhan Aiping raised her hand and pinched his face: "You, take care of yourself, don't let me sew you with this needle."
"I'd be willing if you sewed me."
"Wife, what kind of clothes do you want to wear? I will draw it for you." Apart from other abilities, Gu Sheng's ability in drawing is beyond doubt. Although he has never studied painting seriously, he has some talent for painting. When he was a child, he even drew comic strips for Zhan Aiping.
"I want to make lotus leaf sleeves..." Zhan Aiping and Gu Sheng got together to draw. Gu Sheng had a pencil in his hand. He was very good at mental arithmetic, and the lines drawn by the pencil on the paper were proportional.
Even without a ruler, he could draw a line within 20 centimeters. He could also draw a circle with his bare hands. Zhan Aiping admired him very much for this.
The girls here know how to wear tube skirts, and Zhan Aiping also plans to make a few skirts. Of course, they can't wear short skirts at this time, they must be knee-length skirts. She asked Gu Sheng to modify it several times, but she still couldn't make a decision.
Gu Sheng: "Drawing a skirt is so particular..."
Zhan Aiping: "Forget it, I'll make you a set of clothes first, make yours, and make you a white shirt."
Gu Sheng said: "That's easy, I'll just draw it-"
Zhan Aiping: "No, this is not simple. I need to tailor it for you, make the pattern right, and add some careful waist design, and this back..."
Although the shirt is simple, the pattern of the shirt is very particular. If the pattern is not good, it will look like a grandfather's shirt, or like an insurance salesman...
Gu Sheng: "Can't you just draw it according to the military uniform?"
Zhan Aiping said: "No."
The two of them drew and drew for the whole night, but they still hadn't decided on the pattern of the clothes. They used up several sheets of draft paper. Gu Sheng kept making corrections with a pencil, and all his patience was gone.
In the end, the two of them decided to go to bed.
There is a long way to go in making clothes.
Because she had taken a shower before, she simply washed her face and feet, changed into pajamas, and Zhan Aiping lay on the bed. Gu Sheng closed the door and climbed onto the bed as well. He was particularly self-conscious and walked over Comrade Zhan to sleep inside.
Gu Sheng: “…”
Comrade Gu had no choice but to hug the person under him by the waist and throw him into the pillow. He also lay down: "Wife, I'll let you do it today. I'll lie down for ten minutes and you come up."
Today his wife wants to make clothes for him. He is willing to lie down for not only ten minutes but also half an hour.
Zhan Aiping: "Dream on."
Zhan Aiping turned her body to the side and ignored him. Gu Sheng was flexible and could "pretend". Now she felt that there was no need for her to vent her anger and press him under her. She would only be tired and would only feel a little subtle psychological pleasure. It was a waste.
This bastard is really good at pretending. He gets an advantage but still acts like a good kid. God knows if he is secretly happy about it. He likes to provoke her.
The real winner should lie still.
In matters like that, if you can remain motionless, you absolutely must remain motionless, humph.
Gu Sheng: “…”
Comrade Xiao Gu could only sigh with regret in his heart. His strong-willed wife no longer had to be strong-willed, and the subtle little benefit was gone.
He turned over and pressed the person under him. Zhan Aiping pushed his face, closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "Be gentle."
She used to be strong in everything and wanted to be better than Gu Sheng in everything, but now she feels that she can be less strong-willed and not always endure it by herself and tough it out. Maybe sometimes, it is time to show weakness.
In this matter, the woman was already at a disadvantage. Her physical strength and endurance were not as good as Gu Sheng's. It was really stupid for her to vent her anger on him.
Hearing her words "be gentle", Gu Sheng's ears softened, thinking that it was too much, a person who was usually proud and strong, just said such soft words, it was simply unbearable -
He looked down at Zhan Aiping and saw that she had her eyes closed with her crow-feather-like eyelashes closed together. Her eyelids were very thin and her skin was delicate and moist, glowing as honey-like in the dim light.
He leaned close to her ear and said, "Wife, don't worry, I'll be gentle."
*
The next day, Zhan Aiping didn't know what time she fell asleep. The dim white light outside illuminated the room. Thinking that there would be guests coming today, she covered her face with the pillowcase and just wanted to stay still.
There is no movement outside, so it should not be too late. It would be troublesome if an outsider arrived.
Zhan Aiping: “…”
Finally, he changed his clothes and got out of bed. Gu Sheng cooked porridge and brought it to him. Zhan Aiping glared at him, thinking that this guy was talking nonsense. He was gentle, but his endurance was not in vain. He always liked to make her cry. She begged for mercy, but if he had not rolled off the bed on his own when he got up early in the morning, Zhan Aiping would really kick him several times.
"Wife, have some porridge." Gu Sheng walked over to her and sat down shamelessly, smiling gently.
Zhan Aiping threw a pillow at him.
Gu Sheng reacted quickly and took the pillow.
Zhan Aiping sat cross-legged and drank her porridge with a sullen face, while Gu Sheng was like a sticky candy, being cautious around her, with a playful smile on his face, and it was obvious that he deserved a beating.
"Wife, stop being so sullen. When outsiders come, give them some face."
Give me some face!
This guy really understands tactics on a daily basis, and is well aware of the principle of "when the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy retreats, I pursue; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack." He is black-hearted and thick-skinned. He says that he cares about face, but in fact, he cares less about face than anyone else.
When it is time to make harsh words, he makes them; when it is time to beg for mercy, admit defeat and humble himself, he does it without hesitation and immediately humbles himself. Once he gets the chance, he pursues and attacks fiercely.
This bastard is particularly vindictive.
The old almanac was also dug out to ask her: "…Did you grow taller in vain?"
Zhan Aiping had a cold face and didn't give him a good look. When people from their group came, she smiled at others and gave him a sour face. Everyone around could see that the young couple was having a quarrel, and they all made faces to watch the fun.
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is angry with me and is upset with me. I will comfort her later."
"Gu Sheng, you have come to this day."
"Xiao Gu, you have come to this day."
"Captain Gu, I never thought you would end up like this..."
A bunch of "you have come to this day" that came one after another almost made Zhan Aiping laugh.
"That's Zhang Zheng from the first battalion, that's Zhou Hongliang, the instructor of the third company... and this is Commander Jiang."
Gu Sheng introduced them one by one, and Zhan Aiping just stood there to recognize them. She couldn't remember so many people at once, so she just took a look at their faces and would naturally become familiar with them later.
Captain Jiang held a glass of wine and looked at him expressionlessly, as if he was looking at a traitor: "Gu Sheng, I never thought you would have this day."
Captain Jiang is also big and strong, but his head is a little round. He has a shaved head and wears a hat. He looks much better with a shaved head than with hair, but he needs to wear a hat because without a hat, he looks like a boiled egg.
"Captain." Gu Sheng clinked glasses with him, indicating that the two of them, the "cool bachelor group", were completely disbanded from today onwards.
Captain Sun next to him said, "Old Gu, you are a very secretive guy. Didn't you say before that you would not get married and would be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Now you have brought back a beautiful wife."
The wife that Gu Sheng brought back is really beautiful. She is a retired female soldier and a female doctor. She has a good background, a good family, good looks, and is delicate and pretty. How come all the good things happen to him
—Just a bit hot-tempered.
It would be best to keep this old Gu under control.
"I can't help it. The girl I've loved since childhood is willing to marry me. I'd be a fool not to marry her."
"You two are really childhood sweethearts?"
"real."
Captain Jiang was drinking and listening to their conversation, he felt the wine in his mouth becoming more and more bitter. This boy looked like a bachelor before, but it turned out that he had a girl he liked.
He also said that he would not get married like him and live a carefree life. But he turned around and married a beautiful wife. She was pretty and they were childhood sweethearts.
He almost went to the military hospital to cause trouble the day before yesterday. It's obvious that they have real feelings for each other.
—This is hidden too deeply!
Although Captain Jiang looked unrestrained on the surface, he was actually very jealous inside. He also wanted to live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed, but he just gritted his teeth and endured it.
In the past, he had Gu Sheng to accompany him. Gu Sheng had a good family background and was good-looking. He also said that he would not get married and revealed his intention to remain single for the rest of his life. For countless days and nights, it was Gu Sheng who comforted him, making Captain Jiang think that since he was single despite having such good conditions, it was just right for them to have a companion and live a carefree life that many men envied.
Who knew that this brat would turn around and marry his childhood sweetheart, which was like the biggest blow to his heart.
In the past, many people had boasted in front of him about the benefits of having a wife, but none of these had caused much harm to Captain Jiang. Only Gu Sheng's knife was too deadly.
He said that he was a bachelor, but in fact he had liked the other person for many years. Now his long-cherished wish has come true. He is much happier than those who get married after just a few glances at each other at the blind date table. It's a relationship that has lasted for twenty years!
When Captain Jiang was young, he had countless failed blind dates, so he envied other people's true "love".
The regiment political commissar asked him: "Gu Sheng, have you handed in your salary?"
Gu Sheng said casually: "I've paid it, and my wife will manage the money in the future."
People around laughed: "You are doomed, you will be controlled by your wife from now on and live a hard life."
Gu Sheng laughed along with them: "I won't have money to buy cigarettes anymore."
Captain Jiang listened to their conversation and drank silently. He also wanted a wife!
Before leaving, Captain Jiang called Gu Sheng over and told him in advance: "Gu Sheng, let me remind you first, don't talk about your wife in front of me all the time."
Captain Jiang has seen a lot of what this newly married man is like. He can't wait to talk about his wife every day, my wife is like this... my wife is like that... It sounds like he deserves a beating.
Captain Jiang likes to chat with men who have been married for a long time, complaining about how his wife is always nagging and how the children are naughty and climb up the roof every day... These are what he likes to hear.
"Okay, Captain, don't worry." Gu Sheng gave him a reassurance, his eyes saying, "I'm definitely not the kind of person who deliberately invites hatred."
Captain Jiang: “…”
He thought to himself, there's no point in being assured. He was used to the bad habits of newlywed men. They wanted to show off loudly and shout about it. Gu Sheng would definitely be no exception. He would definitely come to show off in front of him.
How could he not show off after marrying such a beautiful wife? How could he not brag? Even the farts of this beautiful wife smell good.
When he starts showing off, we must give him a "fatal blow" and make him laugh.
—He also wants a beautiful wife.
“Gu Sheng, are you still busy over there? Come here…” His wife called him with a strangely sweet voice.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Gu Sheng ran over happily.
Captain Jiang looked at his receding back and thought that Gu Sheng used to be a "ruthless" guy. When those pretty nurses flirted with him, he ignored them and held a cigarette in his mouth with a cold face, just like he was in front of his subordinates. But now, why is he so servile in front of his own wife
Are women really that good
Anyway, he will never become such a lackey in his life!
—It would be great if Director Li Yuxia was willing to introduce him to someone.
Captain Jiang rarely comes to the family compound. He has heard of Director Li's reputation a long time ago. He knows that Director Li Yuxia, in addition to being the director of women's affairs, is also a well-known matchmaker. There is no one she cannot find. Every time she introduces someone to someone, they are always successful. She is simply the reincarnation of a matchmaker.
Captain Jiang had failed in several blind dates before, and he thought it was because of the bad introducer. Many people had introduced him to potential partners, but Li Yuxia had never been introduced to him.
Captain Jiang was thinking to himself that if the "always successful" matchmaker Li Yuxia introduced him to a partner and arranged a marriage for him, he might be able to live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed.
However, he had been stubborn before and had made it clear that it was always others who begged him to introduce him to a partner. Captain Jiang couldn't bring himself to ask others to introduce him to a partner.
This time, meeting Director Li who was also here for the warm home meal, Team Leader Jiang adopted a roundabout tactic: "Director Li, how are our teammate Xiao Gu and his wife doing these past two days after they moved in?"
Li Yuxia: “…” You are really bringing up something irrelevant.
"They have a good relationship."
Captain Jiang: "Did you also go to the military hospital before?"
Li Yuxia: "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhan, she has adapted very well, she doesn't have any emotional problems, she is really a good family member."
She had never met such a reasonable "family member", which made her feel no sense of accomplishment at work.
Captain Jiang: “…” He was just wondering why this guy hadn’t introduced him to anyone yet.
"He's a good family member, Director Li. Have you introduced anyone to a date recently?"
Li Yuxia smiled and said, "Yes, look, I have found another couple."
Her career as a matchmaker was undefeated.
Captain Jiang: "... Have you ever thought about introducing someone to Xiao Gu before?" Now that he's such a bachelor in front of her, she doesn't want to take the initiative to introduce him to someone
"What can Xiao Gu introduce? Doesn't he have someone in mind? I've seen it a long time ago. When he meets someone he likes, he will be as soft as steel... Captain Jiang, I have something to do and I'll leave first."
Captain Jiang: “…”
Li Yuxia ignored him. Although others were cold and flattering and were keen to introduce potential partners to Captain Jiang, she was not that kind of person.
In order to maintain her undefeated career as a matchmaker, Director Li said that she would never be stupid enough to pick such a tough nut to chew.
This is the only way to avoid rollover.
After the lively home-cooked meal, people dispersed. Before leaving, they helped to clean up the tables, chairs, benches, and bowls and chopsticks. They were all quick and skillful, so the house and yard became clean and tidy. People who came to eat were used to not causing trouble for others.
Zhan Aiping went to open the bedroom door, and the only small broken bed in the house saw the light of day again.
The collapsed bed should not be seen by outsiders.
Gu Sheng drank a lot of wine and sat on a bench to sober up. Zhan Aiping brought him a bowl of sour soup to sober him up. Gu Sheng took a sip and he sobered up a lot, but his mouth felt so sour that he wanted to vomit. He buried his head in Zhan Aiping's shoulder.
Zhan Aiping patted him on the back: "Why are you so shameless now? You said you handed in your salary, but you didn't even show off your 20 yuan pocket money."
"What are you showing off? Just say I have no money. My wife will be strict with me in the future so that I don't have to borrow money from others." Gu Sheng actually had a lot of experience in lending money. Everyone knew that he was in good condition and was a bachelor, so who else could they borrow money from if not him
Instead of lending it out, it is better to spend it lavishly on yourself, let people know that you have a lot of expenses and are broke, so as not to offend others and still have a lot of money left.
"Do you want me to praise you for being so smart?" Zhan Aiping patted him with a smile.
Gu Sheng buried his head in her shoulder and arched his back. Zhan Aiping touched his head and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, can I give you two injections?"
Gu Sheng: “…” Damn, he actually forgot that his wife always carries a needle with her.
"Okay, you pierced it."
Zhan Aiping gave him two injections, and Gu Sheng found that it was indeed quite comfortable. "Wife, you are really capable. It's unfair for you to go to the township hospital."
"I don't just have some ability, I am very capable."
Gu Sheng touched her head and said, "You met our team leader today. He has premature graying hair, severe hair loss on the top of his head, and gray hair growing on the sides... He got so angry that he cut all his hair off and has a bald head every day."
Zhan Aiping: "You want me to treat his hair?"
“Not really… that’s all.” Gu Sheng thought it would be awkward to proactively say to someone: I can help you cure your baldness.
It would be fine if it is cured, but if it is not, it would be annoying.
"People ask, and you say you can cure it, but I'm afraid that your ability as a quack doctor may be inconsistent, so don't take on tasks for yourself."
Zhan Aiping chuckled twice, but she didn't care about being called a quack, because this was the norm for doctors. No matter how skilled your medical skills were, in the eyes of your closest relatives, they still considered you a quack.
It’s just like you don’t believe that your classmate can be a good “doctor” or “teacher” because you have seen him distracted while copying homework.
"Do you have any days off tomorrow? Accompany me to see my brother..." Zhan Aiping felt much more depressed when she mentioned her younger brother Zhan Mingzhao. She hadn't seen him since the last time they met. He sounded full of energy on the phone, and she didn't know how he was doing here.
He said he could drive a tractor.
As an educated youth, working in the countryside every day must have been hard. Many people tried to return to the city, and her brother could have chosen to join the army and leave, but he refused.
Gu Sheng agreed immediately: "Okay, I will accompany you to meet your brother. I, the ugly brother-in-law, will finally meet my brother-in-law."
Zhan Aiping smiled: "When he sees that you have become his brother-in-law, his jaw will probably drop to the ground."
This kid also said that if Gu Sheng became his brother-in-law, he would join the army. I hope he can remember this.
When talking about her brother, Zhan Aiping couldn't help but repeat a few more questions: "My brother has been here to work in the countryside for a while. I heard him say that you went to see him. How are his conditions there? Is it hard? I'm quite worried about him. Is he living a good life every day?"
"Gu Sheng, what was it like when you met him before? He said on the phone that he was doing well, but my brother is a bit cowardly, and I'm afraid he's been bullied."
After hearing what she said, Gu Sheng's expression was very interesting. He hesitated to speak: "..."
"What are you doing? Why are you like this every time?" Zhan Aiping had asked Gu Sheng before, but he always hesitated to speak.
Gu Sheng: "It's pretty good. He doesn't have any problems with his life there."
Zhan Aiping narrowed her eyes: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Sheng's mouth twitched: "You may not believe it... As a sister, you'd better go and see it for yourself."
