◎Come, come, the show is about to begin! ◎
In the past few days, Dong Jiaojiao did not come to the army to cause trouble, so He Chengjun thought that it was almost time and the other party should have realize their mistake.
Since the political commissar kept telling him to go back again and again, he would go back and take a look.
Moreover, the political commissar also said just now that he is at a critical moment for promotion, and stability in the rear is also an aspect of the promotion assessment.
To be honest, He Chengjun decided to marry Dong Jiaojiao not entirely because of Dong Jianguo’s entrustment. He also liked Dong Jiaojiao a little bit.
They live in the same village and have known each other since childhood. Because of Dong Jianguo’s relationship, they often play together and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
The most important thing is that although Dong Jiaojiao grew up in a rural area, except for her dark skin, she is still very good-looking.
He Chengjun knew only three people in the village who liked her, and one of them was an educated youth from the city.
Whether He Chengjun admits it or not, this greatly satisfies his vanity.
Therefore, as long as Dong Jiaojiao is obedient and does not cause trouble, He Chengjun is willing to live a good life with her and will not dislike her for being from the countryside.
Of course, He Chengjun can’t go back yet. The troops are disciplined and can only wait until the training ends in the afternoon.
There is actually a two-hour break at noon. The family compound is right next to the army, and it is only a few minutes’ walk away.
Many people will go back to eat at noon, such as Yang Hongwei.
But He Chengjun didn’t plan to go back because Lu Yao said in the morning that he would stew pig’s trotters for him at noon.
Although the food in the army is good, it is only enough to ensure that you are not hungry. It is rare to eat such good things as pig’s trotters.
Anyway, Dong Jiaojiao won’t run away there. After eating the pig’s trotters at noon, it’s not too late to go back in the afternoon.
On the other side, the Military Region Research Institute, Lu Jinzhou’s office.
After several hints and hints, Li Xiang finally got him Dong Jiaojiao’s information.
Of course, in the name of investigating Lu Yao, he collected Dong Jiaojiao’s information “by the way”.
Lu Jinzhou couldn’t explain how he felt when he learned that Dong Jiaojiao was married.
Li Xiang was still chattering beside him and kept talking: “Official Lu, He Chengjun is really not a good person. It’s not enough to harm his wife, but he dares to seduce Comrade Lu Yao.”
Lu Yao is Lu Jinzhou’s niece, even if Lu Jinzhou doesn’t go home often, but the blood and family ties are there, so Li Xiang naturally speaks for Lu Yao.
“Official Lu, I think Comrade Lu Yao must have been deceived. It’s a pity that Commander Lu is out on a mission, otherwise He Chengjun would have to be taught a lesson.”
Commander Lu is Lu Yao’s eldest brother Lu Ming.
Lu Jinzhou doesn’t like to abuse his power and meddle in other people’s business. He only cares about work. Li Xiang knows this very well.
Therefore, he only mentioned Lu Ming and would not directly suggest Lu Jinzhou to help her say hello.
Seeing that Lu Jinzhou had been reading Dong Jiaojiao’s information, Li Xiang sighed and said to himself: “This Dong Jiaojiao is also a poor person.”
After Li Xiang said so much just now, Lu Jinzhou remained silent, but as soon as Dong Jiaojiao was mentioned, he immediately asked: “Why is she pitiful?”
Lu Jinzhou’s tone was the same as usual, and Li Xiang didn’t think much and directly told what he learned in the family compound.
Li Xiang swore that he did not add any exaggeration. He just relayed what the military wives said.
Of course, the part where the other party insulted Lu Yao was omitted.
But what Li Xiang didn’t know was that the so-called facts he found out were already the final version that everyone had added to and added to.
In this story, Dong Jiaojiao is completely a pitiful figure who was deceived by a scumbag, tortured by her husband’s family, and left helpless.
“Sister-in-law Liu said that Dong Jiaojiao came to join the army. Her mother-in-law gave her a death order. She must be pregnant within three months, otherwise He Chengjun will be asked to divorce her.
Dong Jiaojiao was too anxious and had no choice but to ask for help. The sisters-in-law in the hospital helped her give her advice, and then they exposed He Chengjun’s inhumanity.
Even if He Chengjun’s disease could be cured, I don’t think it would be possible for her to get pregnant within three months. Dong Jiaojiao doesn’t know if she would be able to get pregnant in the end.
Let me tell you, this He Chengjun is nothing. It’s obvious that he can’t do it himself, but he still has to blame it on Dong Jiaojiao. How can she, a young girl, get pregnant by herself?”
“Ahem… Xiao Li, when you speak, pay attention to your wording!” Lu Jinzhou’s expression was a little unnatural, and it made him feel hot to hear what he said.
“Official Lu, don’t worry. I’m always keeping an eye on you outside. Now that it’s just the two of us here, I’m going to be more casual, hehe.”
Lu Jinzhou rolled his eyes at him, and then asked casually, “What about Dong Jiaojiao? Does she want a divorce?”
“She definitely doesn’t want to. She is still asking for remedies for He Chengjun all over the world,” Li Xiang said matter-of-factly.
Little did they know that Dong Jiaojiao was just using this excuse to spread rumors about He Chengjun everywhere.
When Lu Jinzhou heard this, he lowered his eyelids and carefully stroked the paper with Dong Jiaojiao’s personal information with his right hand. He didn’t know what he was thinking.
Immediately, Li Xiang thought of Ma Ronghua’s words again and hesitated: “But I also heard from Sister-in-law Ma that Dong Jiaojiao wanted a divorce and wanted to go to the army to seek justice. But for some reason, she didn’t go after that. I guess she still couldn’t bear it.
Putting aside everything else, He Chengjun’s performance in the army is indeed very good. He became the deputy battalion commander in just five years. It seems that he will be promoted again this year. It’s a pity that with Dong Jiaojiao, It’s a useless showmanship.”
Li Xiang was transferred to Lu Jinzhou just two years ago, so he didn’t know his previous experience, otherwise he would never have criticized He Chengjun for being useless.
Because the person who he really looks down on is Lu Jinzhou.
But not anymore, but Lu Jinzhou would rather stay the same as before, so as not to have to get up and shower with cold water several times every night.
In short, this kind of thing… is difficult to comment on!
However, Lu Jinzhou finally understood why Dong Jiaojiao was so resentful towards him when they first met.
He felt disdainful of what Lu Yao had done, but then he thought about it, was his behavior very honorable?
Although others don’t know it, he himself knows it!
Lu Jinzhou felt unhappy and leaned on his seat dejectedly, feeling that this academic problem was more distressing to him than any other academic problem he had encountered before.
After struggling with himself for a while, Lu Jinzhou still couldn’t calm down and work, so he decided to go out for a walk.
As an assistant and bodyguard, Li Xiang should logically follow, but Lu Jinzhou was upset and just wanted to be alone.
~~~
When Lu Yao and He Chengjun returned to their compound, Dong Jiaojiao happened to be planting vegetables in the field at the door.
In the past few days, Dong Jiaojiao asked the comrades at the canteen to help get some seeds. After soaking them in spiritual spring water, they soon sprouted into seedlings.
Dong Jiaojiao took some and planted them in her vegetable patch to provide cover for the vegetables in the space.
Wang Cuihua was the first to see He Chengjun. The two vegetable fields were next to each other. Wang Cuihua came over to pick two cucumbers, planning to make a cold dish at night.
She saw He Chengjun and Lu Yao beside him at a glance, and quickly motioned to Dong Jiaojiao on the side: “Xiao Dong, is that your deputy battalion He?”
Dong Jiaojiao looked up and almost laughed out loud.
These two strange flowers actually dared to appear in pairs in the family compound like this, which just confirmed the previous rumors.
With this rare opportunity, Dong Jiaojiao decided to add more firewood to make the fire burn even more fiercely.
They saw Dong Jiaojiao happily running towards the door of the courtyard, shouting: “He Chengjun! Lu Yao!…”
Dong Jiaojiao repeated it loudly several times, for fear that the people around him would not know that the two opposite These are the heroes and heroines of gossip these days.
Sure enough, as Dong Jiaojiao shouted, many people looked at He Chengjun and the others, with gossip in their eyes.
Everyone slowed down unconsciously and deliberately lingered at the gate of the compound, not going in, just waiting to watch the show.
Lu Yao saw Dong Jiaojiao coming over, with many patches on her clothes, a hoe in her hand, and her hands were covered with soil, and her eyes flashed with disdain.
Sure enough, she is a country bumpkin from the countryside, and she still doesn’t forget to farm when he gets to the city.
At noon, Lu Yao heard that He Chengjun said that he would go home and stay in his compound at night. She felt uneasy, so she suggested that they come together.
Of course, the main character of the talker was gentle and considerate, thinking about He Chengjun wholeheartedly, and said that she wanted to explain it to Dong Jiaojiao again in person to prevent the other party from misunderstanding her.
He Chengjun naturally agreed and took the opportunity to invite Lu Yao to his home for dinner.
So, this scene happened.
He Chengjun’s focus is different from Lu Yao’s. After all, he was born in a rural area and is used to seeing people working in the fields. Patches on her clothes are normal.
This era adheres to the fine style of hard work and plain living, and the more patches, the more glorious it is.
A few years ago, some leading cadres deliberately sewed patches on their clothes for performance.
In recent years, this kind of thing has not happened again, but the concept does not change overnight.
It is only July 1977, half a year before the college entrance examination is resumed, and more than a year before the reform and opening up. Many people still believe in the same old beliefs.
He Chengjun only thought that Dong Jiaojiao looked particularly good-looking today.
Not only did her skin become whiter, but her face seemed to have grown longer as well. As expected, she was still nourished by the water in the city. She had just been in the city for less than half a month and her appearance had changed drastically.
Seeing Dong Jiaojiao running towards him happily, her eyes shining brightly, this scene struck a chord deep in He Chengjun’s heart.
He thought that Dong Jiaojiao must like him very much, otherwise she would be so happy when he saw him come back.
Even the beads of sweat on Dong Jiaojiao’s forehead felt very cute to He Chengjun.
He would also sweat a lot during training, which was not as sloppy as Lu Yao thought.
If Dong Jiaojiao knew that He Chengjun thought this way, she would definitely blind his eyes. Mother, you dare to even think that!
Lu Yao greeted her first with a half-smile: “Dong Jiaojiao, do you still remember me?”
This time, Lu Yao didn’t even call her “sister-in-law.”
She even felt that Dong Jiaojiao must have been deeply impressed by her appearance and temperament after seeing her last time. She felt that she would feel ashamed every night when she dreamed about her.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao unconsciously raised her chin, looking aloof.
Dong Jiaojiao suddenly changed her face, glared angrily, pointed at Lu Yao and shouted loudly: “You ignorant fox, of course I will remember you!”
The crowd around them rubbed their hands excitedly, come on, the show is about to begin!
Some people skillfully took out a pack of melon seeds and prepared to crack them. One look showed that they often eat melon seeds and always have them in their pockets.
