The Pretty Military Wife

The careful Liang Xinyue noticed that when Li Wu heard the sound of Secretary Fu and others coming out, his expression seemed a little impatient.

But in the blink of an eye, she still greeted me with a smile:

"Secretary Fu, excuse me for interrupting you. I just heard that this guy is back, so I came to see him."

Everyone was invited to sit in the conference room on the second floor.

Zhou Guoliang took out the candies he had just bought and placed a handful on the table in front of each person:

"Please have some candy. Today is the day Xinyue and I get our marriage certificate. I'm treating everyone to some wedding candy."

Liang Xinyue was originally sitting in a corner, but after hearing what he said, she had to stand up and stay with him with a silly smile.

Amid the blessings, she sat down again shyly, quietly observing these people from the side.

Xu Wenshu brought over a thermos to make tea, and Liang Xinyue stood up to help serve the tea to everyone.

After everyone sat down again, Li Wu, the highest official here, spoke:

"I am very happy today. I heard that Guoliang is back, so I decided to come here."

"It's not easy, young man. Not many people can come back alive after this trip. You are very good."

Liang Xinyue could see that Li Wu looked at Zhou Guoliang with a complicated look in his eyes. He felt that it was not easy to see his own shadow in Zhou Guoliang, and he also felt a little proud!

Li Wu turned around and said to Secretary Fu:

"Now that I'm here, I have to explain some things. I heard that you classified Comrade Zhou Guoliang as a missing person. I'm here to prove it. I'm in a hurry. I'll have someone send a copy of the proof to you for your files."

"Ten years ago, Comrade Zhou Guoliang joined the army through my recommendation. At that time, we were recruiting a special type of soldiers needed by the country, which could not be announced to the public. At that time, there were only two outcomes for those who went out: one was to return alive after making meritorious contributions, and the other was to return as a martyr after dying."

"Fortunately, Comrade Zhou Guoliang has returned after performing meritorious service. We should correct what should be corrected in his biographical files. If you need any supporting documents, please go to the Armed Forces Department to get them."

"In addition, in the past ten years, their families should have received the compensation and care that the families of military martyrs should have enjoyed. Please calculate what your government has paid, and I will be responsible for compensating what our armed forces have paid. This is what we should do."

He turned to look at Zhou Guoliang and said:

"I'll contact the old political commissar later, and I'll record and add to your military medals. Nothing should be missing. We can't let any soldier down."

Zhou Guoliang stood up suddenly:

"Thank you, chief."

Li Wu laughed:

"In terms of rank, you are now higher than me. I am just a few years older than you. From now on, I will be happy if you call me Brother Li. Sit down quickly. Did you have a good time recruiting soldiers this time?"

Zhou Guoliang smiled and said:

"The preliminary work went smoothly. We may leave in three days. I haven't been home for ten years, so I took a day off to come back and see my family. By the way... We have been engaged since childhood, so I came back to get the marriage certificate and then prepare to take her with me to the army."

"Okay, okay, okay, it's my duty. I put my country first, and then my family. You have done a great job. You have worked hard over the years. This time, I will give you a small..."

Seeing that Li Wu couldn't say his name for a while, Liang Qinyue stood up and said:

"Commander, my name is Liang Xinyue."

"Oh, okay, Xiaoliang. You will be husband and wife from now on. When you get to the army, you must support Guoliang's work. Guoliang must also take good care of Xiaoliang. As a couple, you should take care of each other."

"Yes."

This is a reminder from the elders.

Unable to refuse, he had lunch with Secretary Fu and Minister Li in the commune cafeteria at noon.

To be honest, Xu Wenshu, who was watching from the side, felt that Liang Xinyue really didn't look like a peasant woman.

Although she looked like an ordinary country woman, pale and thin, and no matter how clean her clothes were, her trousers and elbows were covered with patches.

But she was not at all nervous when eating with the commune leaders and county leaders. She ate in a very quiet manner, not at all like the busy peasant women in the countryside, so she finished her meals quickly.

During the meal, everyone joked that it was their wedding banquet, and she also cooperated with Zhou Guoliang to stand up and serve tea to everyone, very gracefully.

After dinner, Xu Wenshu went to write another letter of introduction for Liang Xinyue.

Because Liang Xinyue was going to join the army from here, she would need this letter of introduction whenever she stayed in a hotel or took a bus along the way.

When Li Wu was leaving, he said that he had to go to Dayang County to see Zhou Guoliang and the others off, and asked the people accompanying him to settle the bill for the meals they had eaten in the cafeteria today:

"We are not here to instruct the work. We are all taking advantage of the public. We must not take advantage of the public for food."

Zhou Guoliang also brought Liang Xinyue back home carrying the newly bought things.

Time was running out and they had to rush back to Dayang County overnight.

When she returned home, the family members were getting ready to go to work. Liu Jinxiu saw the bundle of things in her son's hand at a glance and reached out to take it. She thought it was bought for her.

Zhou Guoliang handed it to Liang Xinyue and said:

"Put it in my bag, and then pack your clothes. You don't need to bring anything else, just a change of clothes."

Liang Xinyue nodded, took the things and walked towards her room.

"What are you going to do for her? Give the new things to mother. She will distribute them to whoever deserves them."

Zhou Guoliang did not contradict his mother, but just said:

"Dad, Mom, we have obtained the marriage certificate, and the commune has also issued a letter of introduction. I will take Xinyue away."

"what?"

"what!"

The ones who exclaimed were Liu Jinxiu and Zhang Lianhua.

That won’t work. Someone has been taking care of them for the past three years.

Now that Liang Xinyue is gone, don't I have to do all the housework myself?

"That won't work! You're going to be a soldier, what is she going to do?"

Liu Jinxiu said immediately.

"Mom, I'm already 27 or 28 years old. I'm married. What's wrong with me taking my wife with me? How can I give you grandchildren if we're not together?"

Zhang Lianhua patted her belly:

"Isn't it already possible? This is what we agreed to give birth to for you. By the way, Third Brother, you can't just ignore it. Giving birth to a child and raising it requires money and someone to take care of it. If I didn't want to give birth to someone who would worship you, I wouldn't have given birth to this child."

Zhou Guoliang frowned, and Liu Jinxiu turned around and started to curse:

"You rotten thing, if you want to have a child, it's the one you and your wife conceived. If you don't raise it, who will? You gave it to the third child because he couldn't come back. Now that the third child is back, why does he want your baby?"

Zhang Lianhua is no pushover either:

"Mom, you can't say that. Who told me to give birth to a child for the third wife? The third wife is back now, but I'm pregnant too. What's the matter? Don't you want it now?"

"Let me tell you, this is not like planting winter melons and pumpkins. If you don't want the melons anymore, you can just pick them. But you can't pick these.

"You have to do the math, Third Brother. I need to eat at least some eggs and chickens so that the child can grow up well. After the child is born, he needs clothes and food, and he needs money. Your brother and I don't have any money."

In a word, it just wants money!
