3. Abandoned Military Wives (3) (1/2)

The news that Miao Xing and Deputy Captain Zhang were kissing in the garden downstairs spread quickly throughout the hospital.

The current atmosphere is completely different from before. When men and women are in love, holding hands and kissing each other, people will hear them without any malice. They just smile at each other and show their sweetness. Miao Xing and Zhang Yanming are a perfect match at first glance. However, Miao Xing had never concealed the fact that she liked Captain Lin. Even the nurse before, if it weren't for Miao Xing's open attitude, she wouldn't have thought of helping to match them up.

Before, everyone said that Miao Xing was good at work, good-looking, and gentle and considerate, but why didn't Captain Lin make any move.

As a result, now that Captain Lin was just injured, Miao Xing and Zhang Yanming got together. How could people not think too much about it.

As Captain Lin was married and the reason he was reluctant to agree was because of his wife, people looked at Miao Xing with even more strange eyes.

Miao Xing wanted to cry but had no tears. Even though she had accepted Zhang Yanming in her heart, she couldn't do that at this stage when Lin Shiheng had just been injured.

She wanted to clarify to everyone, but so many eyes had seen her kissing Zhang Yanming at that time. She wanted Zhang Yanming to explain that he had forced her at that time, but the man who liked her was happy to see this happen.

"Isn't this good?" The handsome man said with a defiant look on his face: "Now everyone knows that we are together."

"You!"

Miao Xing was ashamed and angry, but she was embarrassed to say that it was for her own reputation, so she had to push Lin Shiheng out: "I'm afraid Shiheng would think too much when he saw us like this..."

Zhang Yanming's originally complacent expression immediately became gloomy: "You are still thinking about Lin Shiheng? What's so good about him?"

"He's just a group leader. If I want, I can still get to his position in a few months!"

His words were exaggerated, Miao Xing's eyes flashed, and she was touched.

Her family situation was not good, her parents and brother needed money, and although the chief and deputy group leaders were only separated by a chief and deputy, the monthly salary was very different.

While hesitating, Zhang Yanming took out a gold necklace from his arms and put it on Miao Xing's neck without rejection.

"Lin Shiheng doesn't want you, are you angry? Marry me, I will make him regret missing such a good you."

Touching the gold necklace on his neck, Miao Xing bit his lip hesitantly, and finally nodded.

After obtaining Miao Xing's consent, Zhang Yanming's always cold expression relaxed, and he went all the way back to the army to prepare to file a marriage report.

He pursued Miao Xing for so long, and finally got her. Even his expression, which was always impatient with the soldiers, was rarely gentle. Unfortunately, everyone didn't like him when they came into contact with such a gentle expression.

There were originally many nurses and soldiers in the military hospital. Of course, the secrets spread in the military hospital could not be hidden from the army. Many people knew that Deputy Regiment Zhang took advantage of the coma of Regiment Commander Lin to have a good time with Miao Xing.

Zhang Yanming was spoiled since he was a child. Even after joining the army, he still had a bad temper. He was always cold and demanding to his subordinates. This became the best plot in the novel, "cold and ruthless to others, gentle and considerate to his lover". However, few people would like such a superior in the army.

Who would like a superior who kicks you when he is unhappy and punishes you for no reason, or pours water on you when you have a fever and can't get out of bed.

On the other hand, because he came up from the bottom step by step, Captain Lin knew the difficulties of being a soldier more clearly. He usually helped whenever he could and was always gentle to others.

After returning from the hospital this time, his temper became better. He kept the subordinates who came to visit him and returned the gifts. In order to prove that he was almost well, he even took everyone to the playground for a competition.

At first, they were afraid of hurting the captain who had finally recovered from his injury, but they were beaten five against one.

After that, it changed to six against one, and seven against one. After a group of people were lying on the ground, seeing the rest of the people rushing up, Lin Shiheng had to raise his hands and scold with a smile: "Surrender, surrender, you hooligans, how can you play like this."

If he continued to fight, whether he won or lost, his subordinates would only have the impression that he could fight, but now he surrendered with a smile and a joke, which made them closer.

The rest of the people were not afraid of him, and they gathered around with a smile: "Captain, I used to think you were strong in a single fight, but I didn't expect that you could do it with seven against one."

"Yes, Captain, why didn't you use this trick before? I can guarantee that if you had taken action earlier, you would definitely become famous!"

"I can still control the strength in a one-on-one situation, but when there are more people, I can't help but use too much. Okay, quickly carry the people on the ground to my room."

After being reminded by him, everyone realized that the comrades who had been beaten before were covering their bodies and screaming in pain.

A group of people hurriedly helped and lifted them up, gathered in Lin Shiheng's room, and he rubbed them with medicated wine one by one.

"Ahhh, it hurts! Captain, please be gentler!"

"You deserve it!" Lin Shiheng smiled and slapped him on the shoulder, "I told you that the more people there are, the harder I'll hit you. Why are you still rushing towards me like a fool?"

Having said that, the hand that rubbed the medicine was indeed a little lighter.

Although the man was beaten, he couldn't help but speak in a friendly way: "How could I have thought that you were serious, Captain, you really are like this!"

As he said that, he raised his thumb with difficulty.

"Stop trying to flatter me like this. Come on, get up quickly. My wife brought me this medicinal wine. Apply it once and you will be full of energy the next day."

As soon as the daughter-in-law said these two words, the wails and jeers in the whole room fell silent. They had gossiped about the love-hate relationship between Captain Lin, Deputy Captain Zhang and the nurse.

Finally, the person lying down asked tremblingly: "Captain, do you really have a wife?"

They had never heard the group leader mention it before. Even this time it was rumored that the group leader had a daughter-in-law, everyone thought it was the nurse who let her go because she was afraid of being accused.

Lin Shiheng seemed not to notice the solid atmosphere around him, and there was still a smile on his handsome face:

"You have been a little impetuous recently. Don't think too much about Deputy Zhang and I. I have a wife at home. I made this clear when I first met Miao Xing, so it is impossible for me to agree to her pursuit. It’s a good thing that Deputy Zhang is with her, and I should give my blessing.”

"But, why haven't I heard you mention it before? Captain, if you are angry, just tell us. Even if we are useless, we will definitely stand by your side!"

"Yes, Captain, this is something they are not honest about. You don't have to help them cover it up."

No one in this room could get used to Zhang Yanming. Even before, he was just as crazy as he was. He looked down upon them and everyone was unwilling to play with him.

But this time something like this happened, and the victim, Captain Lin, expressed that he didn't mind. Every time Deputy Zhang saw him, he still looked mocking and contemptuous, which made those who were close to Captain Lin feel unhappy. uncomfortable.

What are you so crazy about? You dare to show your face to the leader when he is not the leader, and you won’t turn the world upside down later.

Seeing the faces of people in the room full of indignation, Lin Shiheng's men helped the lying man to drink medicinal wine, with a hint of guilt in his tone: "It was my fault before, my wife followed me for three years. Years ago, she was so kind to me and she never thought of repaying her. I didn’t really care about her even though we were together a lot, let alone bring her here to let everyone know her. This time I almost died in a coma, and suddenly I felt so special. She did."

As he said that, he raised his head with melancholy on his face: "After walking away at a critical moment of life and death, I remembered that I only stayed for a few days before leaving. After finishing the things on hand, I plan to take leave. Go back and see your wife."

The room fell silent again, but this time it was not about the gossip, but thinking about his family.

Regardless of the salary they receive, they are respected just by wearing military uniforms when they go out, but accordingly, they also have to bear risks. Just like Captain Lin, the leader of a regiment, he is more skilled than all of them put together, and that's not it. I almost lost my life.

In the silence, a choked voice rang out: "Actually, I am too. I was very happy when I left home. Didn't I hear last time that a soldier stepped on a landmine and was killed by a bomb? I secretly hid under the quilt. Crying, I miss home so much.”

"I'm afraid, if I die, what will happen to my parents, and my sister? Without me as a brother, who will support her when she gets married in the future? I feel uncomfortable when I think about them missing me after I die..."

He was a new recruit, his face was still tender, and he started wiping tears as he spoke. Others did not mean to laugh at him, and many others also felt uncomfortable after being said.

"I also dislike my daughter-in-law for being too local. No one can understand her when she speaks in dialect. I'm afraid that she will make you laugh when she speaks in dialect, so I don't talk about her every time. Now that I think about it, although she speaks in dialect, she is very kind to me. The last time I went home, my cotton-padded jacket was scratched on the train. I found out the night before I left that she had been making me that cotton-padded jacket all night and stuffed a lot of cotton into it. When I left the next day , the eyes are all red.”

"If I die, my wife will definitely be the saddest one. I have no conscience to dislike her. I'm really sorry for her..."

The moment before his tears burst out, he was slapped back by Lin Shiheng on the head.

"What's the use of crying here? Your wife can't see it! Just know that she is good to you. Next time you have a holiday, before you leave, go to the city to pull two pieces of fabric and give them back to her. In the future, be nice to her and give her more. Write a letter at home, otherwise she will definitely miss you."

He was stunned: "But my wife can't read."

"My wife can't read either." Lin Shiheng said confidently: "Who is born knowing how to read? You will teach your wife when you go back. If she can't learn, you will make a secret code and draw every time you write a letter. , Think about it, only the two of you know this secret code. Others see it as a painting, but you see it as your wife saying she misses you. How beautiful this feels. "

When Lin Shiheng said this, less than half of the people in the group showed longing on their faces.

"Captain, you came up with such a great idea! It's amazing! I will tell my wife this next time I go home!"

They stayed for a while before going out, but the topic of discussion had changed from Deputy Zhang's ruthless fight for love to how to cherish relatives who were good to them.

Just because they don't discuss it doesn't mean they don't have a clear idea in their minds.

Captain Lin told the nurse named Miao Xing that he had a wife as soon as they met, but no one knew that the captain was liked by a nurse in the hospital. It had been rumored for several months.

This is a rush to be small.

Zhang Yanming, who wanted to marry a beautiful woman as soon as possible, did not realize that when he walked in the army, he received looks that were either strange or sympathetic.

It's just that he has always been unpopular, and no one will remind him of anything.

***

In an ordinary small mountain village, Li Chunhua opened the door and saw her daughter-in-law feeding chickens. Thinking that she had not laid an egg in three years since she got married, and thinking of the betrothal gifts when she was married and the daughter-in-law's family who always came to ask for money, she felt angry.

When she was angry, her words were naturally not very pleasant, "Are you feeding the chickens or rabbits? With such a small amount, you want the chickens in the house to be unable to lay eggs like you, right?"

He Xuezhu had long been accustomed to her mother-in-law's inexplicable attacks, and just listened silently. Anyway, whatever she said now was wrong.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Chunhua was even more angry, and she pinched her waist and cursed a few words. Someone outside called the door: "Chunhua! There is a letter for you!"

The expression on her face immediately turned into excitement: "Here it comes!"

In addition to her son, who else in this family can send a letter back!

He Xuezhu also heard it, raised her head and looked over a little timidly and expectantly, wanting to know if her husband mentioned her in the letter.

But then he thought about how he had never mentioned her in the previous letters, and his expression darkened again.
