The Pretty Military Wife

Chapter 23 I'm old

"Yesterday I saw you liked this dress, but we didn't have much money with us yesterday, so today I asked Xiao Wei to buy this dress. This is the only one we have, and I don't know if the size is right. You should try it on."

To be honest, in this temperature, he only needs to wear a thin coat, but he bought woolen clothes.

Liang Xinyue in her previous life had many pieces of clothing, both long and short, but Liang Xinyue in this life has never seen such good clothes.

Liang Xinyue seemed a little afraid of damaging the clothes, so she reached out and gently touched the clothes.

However, she didn't expect that when she touched it, the calluses on her hands became a little rough because she hadn't done anything for the past two days.

I accidentally hooked a thread on my clothes.

Liang Xinyue panicked and tried to pull her hand back, but she pulled the string a little longer.

She quickly used her other hand to help remove the red mark that was stuck on the raised skin.

But Zhou Guoliang saw it, frowned and turned over to look at Liang Xinyue's palm.

How can this be the hand of a girl of twenty-one or twenty-two years old?

This is the hand of an old farmer.

Not only are the palms of my hands covered with calluses, but they also have many cracks.

The skin that was hooked by the thread just now was the cracked epidermis that had healed, and the dead skin on the outside began to curl up.

Even though I was a soldier and was working hard all day, my palms were covered with calluses, but my hands were just a little stronger.

But Liang Xinyue's hands were already skinny and covered with calluses and cracks.

Touching her hand was like touching a rough stone.

Zhou Guoliang's heart trembled slightly and he pursed his lips.

Liang Xinyue knew that she looked ugly now. Not only was she skinny, but she didn't have a single piece of healthy skin. Even though they didn't hit her face, her forehead was bruised and had some bruises.

Liang Xinyue withdrew her hand uncomfortably.

Zhou Guoliang didn't say anything else, but picked up the clothes himself:

"Come, try it on. I've already bought it, so you can't let me wear it, right?"

Liang Xinyue subconsciously clenched her hands into fists to prevent her rough palms from touching the fabric, and still followed Zhou Guoliang's hand to put on her clothes.

To be honest, the clothes are nice, and Liang Xinyue's height looks really good in them. It's just a little big, so it looks a bit empty on her body.

Zhou Guoliang sorted it out and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. In winter, if you wear two more layers of clothes inside, it won't be too big."

Liang Xinyue looked at the dress that looked like a piece of red cloth hanging on a bamboo pole, with no waist or curves at all, and could only smile awkwardly.

However, in this day and age, I feel that such good clothes are very valuable gifts.

Liang Xinyue carefully took it off and folded it and said:

"It's a little big, but it should be fine once I gain some weight."

Zhou Guoliang looked at the time and said:

"I'll be right back."

Liang Xinyue knew that they would be leaving tomorrow, so she packed all her things. She didn't have a bag of her own, so she just put all the clothes she packed into Zhou Guoliang's bag.

As I was packing, I frowned. I haven't bought anything in the past two days, and it feels like the bag can't hold any more.

It was getting dark, Xiao Shun and Gu Sanding went to see the new recruits they had received. This time they received more than a hundred soldiers.

Nowadays, there are many young people who cannot get enough food at home, so they might as well go out and join the army.

Of course, after all the physical examinations, those who failed were not accepted. Those who were accepted were taken away.

However, they successfully completed the mission this time, and now all that’s left is to bring these new recruits back.

Zhou Guoliang took off the belt around his waist when he came back from a trip, then said with a smile:

"Let's go, let them mess with us if they want. Don't be afraid, I will deal with them if they go too far."

Liang Xinyue didn't say anything, but followed Zhou Guoliang to the end of the corridor with some embarrassment. There was a red light in the room.

A man who was not in military uniform came out:

"Captain Zhou, congratulations. I'll have someone bring some hot water right away."

"Thank you."

"No thanks, no thanks."

The man left quickly, and before leaving he smiled at Liang Xinyue, as a greeting.

Xiao Wei may have heard their conversation. He stood at the door and saw Zhou Guoliang and Liang Xinyue coming. He shouted into the room:

"Welcome the bride and groom. Applause!"

The people in the room immediately applauded. Zhou Guoliang reached out and took Liang Xinyue's hand and walked in with a smile.

Liang Xinyue wanted to pull her hand back out of embarrassment, but Zhou Guoliang's palm was like a vise, holding her tightly, and she couldn't pull her hand back.

At the instigation of Captain Xiao and others, they stood on the prepared front podium.

Liang Xinyue quickly looked around the room. They were able to create a red light by wrapping the incandescent bulb with red paper.

On the rostrum there is a portrait of the great man, and below it is a big red double happiness character.

Some people also made lace patterns out of red paper. I don’t know how they did it, but they made a lace net on the roof that looked like a spider web.

There were two tables in front of the main podium, on which were neatly placed some moon cakes, all wrapped in paper, with a red "happiness" character on top.

It really looks like there is a festive feeling like a wedding.

Zhou Guoliang told Xiao Wei something, and Xiao Wei immediately went to get the things he had left in the room.

Xiao Wei brought a bag of candy and placed it on the table again.

Gu Sanding stood up and said:

"Everyone, today is the big day for our leader and sister-in-law. It is also the Mid-Autumn Festival. We will hold a small ceremony for the leader."

"Let us first ask the head of the group and my sister-in-law to bow three times to the great man."

Zhou Guoliang pulled Liang Xinyue and turned around to bow three times to the statue on the wall. He turned around again and never let go of Liang Xinyue's hand, but just held it with another hand.

The warmth coming from his palms made Liang Xinyue slowly feel less nervous.

Gu Sanding said again:

"Please tell us a few words, Captain."

Zhou Guoliang smiled and said:

"What's there to talk about? Do you want me to give you some ideological education or martial arts guidance?"

Gu Sanding said seriously:

"You need to pass on your experience to the brothers. Look here, besides you, only Lao Xiao is married. You need to teach us how you, an old cow, managed to get this tender grass, my sister-in-law. Isn't that right, brothers?"

The others clapped and some even shouted "oh oh".

Zhou Guoliang raised his foot and kicked Gu Sanding:

"Am I old?"

As he said this, his eyes shifted towards Liang Xinyue cautiously.

If Gu Sanding hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have cared. He was five years older than Liang Xinyue.

Does she also think she is old?
