Chapter 44

Since the 29th, the entire camp has been preparing for the [-]th night party, setting up the stage, writing big characters, and arranging the venue... Everyone is very busy.Although these soldiers cannot go home to celebrate the New Year with their families, the taste of the New Year here is no worse than that of their hometown.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, every soldier in the army is allowed to make three-minute phone calls to his family.Even so, there are only a few people in their hometown who have a phone, and there are still not many people in front of the phone, and more people send New Year's blessings by writing letters.

Liu Yun took Qin Zhanguo to line up in front of the telephone, and called Zhang Liu.The store has made money, and for the convenience of contact, they installed a phone in the store.

Zhang Liu was overjoyed when he received a call from his daughter and son-in-law, "Xiaoyun, you have to take good care of Zhan Guo, it will be hard for him throughout the year."

"..." Liu Yun pinched Qin Zhanguo's arm vigorously. Who made him please her mother so much? She replied reluctantly: "I know!"

The time was almost up, Qin Zhanguo picked it up again, said a few words of blessing in a hurry, and hung up the phone.

Not having a phone is really inconvenient. Liu Yun felt that after she came to join the army, the first thing to do was to fix the phone. When the big brother came out, the whole big brother would be needed. Although it was as heavy as a brick, it was worth nothing.

After the phone call, the husband and wife walked in the camp arm in arm.The winter in the northern country is cold, and the snow on the ground is crunching.Liu Yun herself wore a long red down jacket, thick boots, and a large natural heater beside her, making her whole body warm.

The husband and wife understand and trust each other, which makes Qin Zhanguo feel at ease. He feels that if such a thing is changed to another woman, there will definitely be a scene, and he will quarrel with him no matter what, but his wife believes in him. Now And so close to himself, such a wife, no one else ever dreamed of.Excited, he stretched out his long arms and hugged him in his arms, "Is it cold, do you want to go back?"

"No, the clothes on me are quite warm." This was custom-made by her, and it was stuffed with a lot of good fluff. "By the way, you can also find time to wear the one I brought you, it's warm."

Qin Zhanguo laughed, and the rigid outline softened, "We soldiers can't be afraid of the cold. Sometimes when we go out on missions, we lie on the snow several meters thick and can't move. It's really not cold. What."

Liu Yun reached out and grabbed his arm, it was still hard, but now he finally knew why his skin was so thick, it turned out to be frozen out.

The sound of singing came from the barracks next to it. The loud soprano came out through the wall, and it was very clear in the wilderness.

"Where is the singing?"

Qin Zhanguo's complexion was a little bad, "...the art troupe."

"Oh, it's very nice." Liu Yun didn't get entangled in this issue, and continued to move forward.After walking a few steps, the door of the camp was opened, and a group of men and women in military coats came out. The girls all had two long black braids, and looked very energetic.

Those people were chatting and laughing, as if they were discussing something, and suddenly they all noticed Liu Yun and Qin Zhanguo at the gate, with weird expressions on their faces.

Liu Yun stood up straight and let everyone look at her generously.

Suddenly a girl came over, she looked to be in her twenties, but her figure was very petite, even wearing a heavy military coat could not conceal her frail body, her eyes were watery, with that small cherry mouth, She is also a peach blossom beauty just like her.When she ran in front of them, she raised her head slightly with joy on her face, "Qin Zhanguo, are you here to see me?"

"..." Qin Zhanguo's body was a little stiff.He ignored the girl, but looked at Liu Yun who was on the side. Seeing the half-smile on Liu Yun's face, his heart tightened, then he turned his head and said coldly, "No, I'm with you." I came with my lover." As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head to look at Liu Yun.

When the girl heard this, the smile on her face froze. She turned her head to look at Liu Yun, as if she just saw Liu Yun, her eyes took a look, and then she said: "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Zhao Mei."

Although she was smiling and looked gentle and kind, Liu Yun could see pride and disdain in her eyes.This is a spoiled girl, but there seems to be a bit of scheming.

Liu Yun glanced at her calmly, and then said to Qin Zhanguo, "Zhan Guo, who is this?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Zhao Mei's eyes, "Didn't Zhan Guo mention me to my sister-in-law?"

If others heard this, they would definitely think that there was something between Qin Zhanguo and her, but Liu Yun didn't look jealous at all, instead she shook her head, "Zhan Guo didn't mention you, but—" She deliberately prolonged her voice , then approached Zhao Mei, lowered her head and smiled and said, "I heard that a little fly has been hopping around my man recently. It's quite fun to listen to it as a story. Thank you, sister." Then Standing up straight and leaning against Qin Zhanguo, he smiled at Zhao Mei very eagerly.

"You..." Zhao Mei's face was pale, and then she looked at Qin Zhanguo next to him, who seemed to have nothing to do with herself, and her heart ached, "Qin Zhanguo, you are too much! Your eyes turned red, and then wiped your face. Tears run away.

A little girl who was waiting for her saw her run away, so she hurriedly ran after her, not forgetting to look back at them as she ran.

Liu Yun raised her eyebrows, thinking, is she trying to pretend to be a little white flower?
She looked up at Qin Zhanguo next to her, "What does she mean? Does this make everyone think that our husband and wife are bullying others?"

Qin Zhanguo's face was also ugly. He didn't know why he could meet this woman even after taking a walk with his wife. "do not care."

He also heard what Liu Yun said just now, but what his wife said was the truth.Before, he thought of this girl too simply, so he didn't guard against her at all. Later, when some ugly words came out, he didn't think about this person, and he didn't say harsh words because he was concerned about this girl's reputation.As a result, there was a lot of trouble, and he realized that the girl had really hidden such bad intentions towards him.In the end, people in the entire camp spread gossip.If it weren't for my wife's enlightenment, I wouldn't even think about it this year.

Thinking about it this way, I no longer have the desire to go shopping.

"Go back." Turning around, he dragged Liu Yun to the military building.

Seeing Qin Zhanguo's black face, Liu Yun secretly smiled. She said that deliberately just now, and she didn't believe that Qin Zhanguo would still have a good impression of such a man who tried to harm him.Humph, she wouldn't tell that girl, there was a saying later - 'A smart woman only concentrates on dealing with men. '

Zhao Mei ran back to the dormitory crying all the way. As soon as she entered the dormitory door, she lay on the bed and cried non-stop. Her petite appearance was very pitiful.

After a while, roommate Liu Man came back.

Liu Man is Zhao Mei's good sister. She has a round apple face, big eyes, and a lively and generous personality. She grew up with Zhao Mei and loves sisters. She can't see Zhao Mei, who has always been weak, being bullied. Worried about Zhao Mei, she decided to go up and scold the couple.It must be that woman who heard those rumors and provoked Zhao Mei just now.

She sat by Zhao Mei's bed and patted Zhao Mei's shoulder lightly, "Xiao Mei, don't cry, let's stay away from them in the future."

Zhao Mei cried for a while before she raised her head, her eyes were red from crying, she sobbed and wiped her tears, "Manman, do you think I'm really that bad? I just admire him very much, nothing else. Why does he hate me so much?"

"A poor battalion commander, what is there to admire." Liuman frowned and said, "You, you are too kind, and you are kind to others, but they don't appreciate it. Don't give anything in the future. You listen to those people's rumors. It's so ugly, if you say you seduce a married man, I think those who spread the word are shameless!" She would not believe that Zhao Mei, who has always been gentle and kind, would do such a thing.

"He is a good man." Zhao Mei shook her head and sighed: "It's a pity to marry such a wife. Manman, do you know that I heard people say that Qin Zhanguo was tricked by his father back to get married, and then he was so angry that he couldn't help it. , ran back to the army on the eve of marriage, do you think he is so happy?"

"You have to suffer if you are not happy. He even married someone else's girl, but you have to treat her well. If you only think about love in this marriage, as my mother said, then you are not a man." Liu Man said to Qin There is no objection to the marriage of the couple in the Warring States Period. Her parents met on a blind date, and they are living a good life now.So she doesn't value the love in marriage so much, as long as she can live.

Hearing what Liu Man said, Zhao Mei's heart sank, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, then she forced a smile and said, "But his wife looks pretty good even though she was born in a rural area. Although the words are a bit harsh, saying I……"

Liu Man was in a hurry, "You said something ugly, right? I knew it, she definitely said you just now, just wait, I will find her tomorrow."

"Don't go." Zhao Mei hurriedly stopped, and then lowered her head, looking very aggrieved, "I, I can't spread bad words anymore, Manman, after what happened last time, my mother doesn't like me anymore Now, you know, my embarrassment in that family."

Hearing this, Liu Man also turned off the fire.Everyone in the compound knew that although Zhao Mei was Uncle Li's daughter, she was actually not from the Li family.Zhao Mei's father and Uncle Li are good comrades-in-arms. When they fought together, Zhao Mei's father died. Her mother remarried when she found out. Zhao Mei was only two years old at that time, and there was no one at home to take care of her.Seeing that she was pitiful, Uncle Li took her home and raised her.Although she is called the daughter of the Li family to the outside world, she is not allowed to be named Li.

She sighed, reached out and shook Zhao Mei's hand, "Xiaomei, Uncle Li and Aunt Song really love you."

"Well, I know, so I can't make them worry anymore, woo woo..." Zhao Meihong cried with eyes red.

Seeing her like this, Liu Man felt uncomfortable, thinking bitterly that it was Qin Zhanguo and his wife who caused it!

On the [-]th day, Xu Hui came to Liu Yun's house to look for her.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were both very happy.This time Liu Yun brought Xu Hui a down jacket, light blue, which matched Xu Hui's temperament very well.

Xu Hui's eyes lit up when she saw the long clothes with beautiful lines. She put them on carefully, and felt instantly warmer, and it was much lighter than cotton clothes.

"Sister-in-law, it costs a lot of money. I can't take it, or Gao Liang will blame me." She carefully took off her clothes, but Liu Yun quickly blocked it with her hand, "What is given to you is yours. I brought them. I happen to be in the clothing business at home, so I took two extra pieces when I bought them, and I bought them specially for you."

Xu Hui put it on this time, turned it around, and then took Liu Yun's arm, "Sister-in-law, I don't even know how to thank you."

Liu Yun said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether you are grateful or not, just dress appropriately." She has always been generous to people she has a good relationship with.

At noon, the men were all helping out in the camp and didn't come back for dinner, so Liu Yun simply left Xu Hui at home for dinner.Randomly fried two stewed vegetables, the smell when they came out of the pot made Xu Hui spit, "Sister-in-law, why are you so good at cooking?"

Liu Yun put all the food on the table, and Xu Hui hurriedly brought two bowls of white rice to the living room together.The two sat around the table while eating and chatting about the past six months.

"Sister-in-law, since you left last time, several sister-in-laws have come to the camp, but they are all very close to Changqing, and two of them are closer to me.

Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, and Chang Qing's character is similar.Liu Yun took a bite of the food and said with a smile: "When I come next year, we can be companions."

Xu Hui was very happy when she heard that, "When will my sister-in-law come next year? It would be great if my sister-in-law came. I must learn your cooking skills."

"Well, next June."

"Oh, it just so happens that I'm going to be on summer vacation at that time, and I have a lot of time, so let's go out for a stroll together." Xu Hui seemed very looking forward to Liu Yun's coming to join the army.Among her military wives, Liu Yun is the most caring.

"Okay, just take me to get acquainted with this place."

In the afternoon, Xu Hui led Liu Yun out to find the other two military wives who were familiar with each other.

The other two men from the military wife's family are not in the same battalion as Qin Zhanguo.One is Wang Huilan, the daughter-in-law of Communications Company Chief Xu Changchun, in her 20s, with a round face and fair skin, and a very cheerful personality.The other is Xu Min, the daughter-in-law of the first battalion commander Wang Yue. She is the oldest among them.Liu Yun followed and called sister-in-law.

Wang Huilan said regretfully, "It's a pity you came late, otherwise we could have played together."

They couldn't get along with Chang Qing's group, so they signed up for the program alone. Xu Hui was in charge of the program, and a poem was recited.

Liu Yun said with a smile: "It's the same when I cheer you on from my seat. Your program is well chosen, it's novel enough, and it's attractive."

"Okay, speak louder and support us." Wang Huilan said with a smile.

Although it was the first time for them to meet, their personalities were easy to get along with. In addition, Liu Yun had a pretty appearance and gentle temperament, which made the new acquaintances like it very much.

In the evening, Liu Yun went to the party with the three of them. They went to the backstage to put on makeup, and she tiptoed at the door looking for Qin Zhanguo.

Qin Zhanguo was also taking aim in the field, his eyes were very good, and he saw Liu Yun looking around at the door all at once.She was still wearing the thick red gown, her whole face was flushed, and her charming appearance had already attracted some people's attention.

"Go in." Qin Zhanguo had already walked in front of Liu Yun, with a serious expression on his face, but there was still a warm smile in his eyes.

Liu Yun didn't hesitate, grabbed his arm and complained, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time, and I thought I had placed an order."

"Just arranged for the soldiers in the battalion to line up, let's go, let's go too." There was a bit of doting in his eyes.

"En." Liu Yun nodded, obediently following Qin Zhanguo's steps and walked over.

As soon as they got to their seats, the soldiers all shouted "Hello, sister-in-law."

Liu Yun also greeted warmly, "Hello, happy Chinese New Year."

"Happy Chinese New Year, sister-in-law." The soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, instantly attracting the attention of people from other places.

Liu Yun was excited, but also blushed slightly.

Li Feng, the political commissar, just walked over, wearing a white scarf, and looked quite artistic.I saw him lecturing to the smiling soldiers: "Go, go, a bunch of rough people, don't scare my sister-in-law, or we will have to cross another five kilometers."

A group of soldiers laughed again.

His words seemed to help Liu Yun out of the siege, but the meaning of the joke was more serious, and Liu Yun gave him a funny look.

It was Qin Zhanguo who rescued the siege in time, glanced at the soldiers, and said two words, "Sit down." These soldiers who were still laughing just now immediately straightened up.

Liu Yun was very surprised by their performance of prohibition. Sure enough, only the army can have such an effect.

After a while, some leaders of the military region came, and they sat in the first row, and everyone was no longer young.These people are all soldiers who have really experienced battles. The blood on their bodies and the sharpness of friction in the flames of war are incomparable to many people who joined the army later.

"Warring States, who is Uncle Yang's comrade-in-arms?"

Qin Zhanguo glanced up, then lowered his head and whispered: "The third position in the first row."
