Meeting Mom and Dad?
Li Wenzhu knew that Xu Zhizhi married him only because she was attracted to him, and his military status satisfied her vanity.
Six months into their marriage, she showed no concern for herself and was even more indifferent to her parents.
However, we can’t blame her. When they got married, Li Wenzhu only said that her parents were also in the Great Northern Wilderness, but Xu Zhizhi mistakenly thought that her parents were also soldiers on the frontier.
Afterwards, she somehow learned that her parents were corrupt officials who had been sent to the countryside, and she started to make trouble for her.
He firmly insisted that he would not accompany the army.
Why are you suddenly asking to meet my parents?
The news of her sacrifice had such a profound impact on her.
“Why did you suddenly want to meet my parents? Why don’t you go over tomorrow night?”
Xu Zhizhi hadn’t expected him to ask that. She rested her chin on her hand, watching the sun slowly sink below the horizon, and a sudden pang of melancholy washed over her.
“My mother passed away from illness a few years ago, and my father also disliked me because I was a girl.”
The soft sunlight of the setting sun fell on Xu Zhizhi’s pretty face. Li Wenzhu sat down next to Xu Zhizhi, gently holding her soft, white, pearl-like fingers, and spoke softly.
From now on, my parents will be your parents!
“Um!”
Xu Zhizhi’s eyes lit up, and she leaned against his shoulder, “Honey, how come you’re so lovable!”
Throughout their journey together, she discovered that Li Wenzhu was a rare and considerate comrade.
A few kind words are all it takes to make someone dizzy with delight.
She excels at everything, from housework to external affairs.
Comrades like this, no matter where they are, are the backbone of society!
Xu Zhizhi enjoys working with such diligent colleagues.
Yes, this little space is their company. Xu Zhizhi calls herself an original shareholder, Li Wenzhu is the CEO, and the baby she is about to have is their first batch of employees.
Whether a small company can be developed and expanded depends on the CEO’s execution ability!
Anyway, the general direction is definitely correct.
Looking at her rosy cheeks, so delicate and innocent, Li Wenzhu felt an uncontrollable heat and throbbing surge through his body.
The love in his wife’s eyes was genuine; she was truly devoted to him. When he saw the gossipy twin Li Xinran tomorrow, he would definitely protect his wife.
Li Wenzhu gently squeezed his wife’s hand. Her hand was soft and fragrant, and it felt very comfortable to hold.
“Let’s rest today. If you don’t want to cook tomorrow, just wait for me to come back from the cafeteria!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhizhi resolutely refused.
“I brought back a lot of cured meat and sausages from my hometown. Tomorrow I’ll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they have any vegetables for sale, and I’ll cook for you!”
Li Wenzhu was surprised, “You can cook?”
The two got married at the maternal grandfather’s house and lived together for only a month. Xu Zhizhi had never set foot in the kitchen, and he always thought she couldn’t cook.
Xu Zhizhi smiled, her eyes crinkling, “I’ll show you what I can do tomorrow!”
Li Wenzhu looked down at her bright smile, and felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, as if a feather had brushed against it!
“It’s late, go to sleep.” After a long while, Li Wenzhu finally replied in a low voice.
After washing up, Xu Zhizhi lay back down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the two covered themselves with blankets separately.
The kang (heated brick bed) is different from a wooden bed; no matter how Xu Zhizhi tosses and turns, the room remains completely silent.
At this moment, she amplified her senses to an infinite degree. She stared at the moonlight for a while with her eyes open, then slowly fell asleep. She slept exceptionally peacefully during that sleep.
Early the next morning,
I didn’t even hear the reveille.
After finishing his morning run, Li Wenzhu went straight to the cafeteria to get breakfast. When he came back into the house and saw his wife’s quiet eyes, he couldn’t help but smile and subconsciously touched his wife’s blushing cheek.
So smooth!
After watching for a while, he turned around and went to the kitchen to light the stove. This house had been lived in by a commander before. There was a separate toilet with a water tank in the yard, and the firewood in the kitchen was still used up.
But then I thought about how my wife had grown up in the city and definitely wouldn’t know how to use a wood-fired stove.
He simply lit the stove as a side effect, then kept the breakfast warm inside so his wife could eat it hot when she got up.
After leaving breakfast for his wife, Li Wenzhu took a long stride and headed towards the camp.
On the training ground, the soldiers were all tanned, but Li Wenzhu, who was tall, fair-skinned and had a slender figure, stood out and attracted the attention of many female soldiers, cultural performers, and several female comrades from the cooking squad.
Many of the female comrades already knew that Battalion Commander Li had returned to the camp, but they didn’t expect to see him so early in the morning.
How come you’re still so handsome? You haven’t gotten tanned at all!
Although Battalion Commander Li was fair-skinned, he did not appear sickly at all. On the contrary, he had a very strong physique, and you could feel the powerful and full muscles on his biceps even through his clothes.
The female soldiers’ eyes practically popped out of their sockets, especially the fair-skinned, nightingale-like Bai Xue, who was the head of the cultural troupe.
Snow White was surrounded by fans, who chattered excitedly around her.
“Snow White, your Prince Charming has returned.”
Bai Xue gestured towards the people around her with her chin, “What nonsense are you talking about? I only knew Battalion Commander Li from before!”
Everyone laughed and joked.
“Then you’re childhood sweethearts. I think Bai Xue and Battalion Commander Li are the best match in our camp. When are you going to have your wedding?”
Bai Xue blushed bright red after being teased.
Lian Guihua, who happened to be passing by with breakfast, overheard the whole scene. Seeing the lark smiling like a flower in the crowd, she pouted and couldn’t help but complain.
“They’re still talking about a wedding banquet? They probably don’t know that Battalion Commander Li brought his men back yesterday!”
Lian Guihua already had a loud voice, and she was deliberately speaking so that Bai Xue could hear her. Bai Xue naturally overheard her words.
She pushed through the crowd and hurriedly asked…
“Sister-in-law, who did Battalion Commander Li bring back?”
Lian Guihua had met this nightingale before. She was beautiful, could write poems and sing lyrics, and was a well-known talented woman in the art troupe.
She smiled at Bai Xue, “Commander Li brought his wife yesterday.”
After saying that, she pouted in disgust, “But that wife isn’t as capable as you. She’s lazy, greedy, and incredibly stupid!”
Upon hearing that Battalion Commander Li was already married, the female soldiers exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of sympathy as they looked at Bai Xue.
Everyone originally thought that Bai Xue and Battalion Commander Li were the most compatible couple in the camp.
They were a perfect match, both in terms of height and complexion.
Why!
Snow White is the flower of the camp; who could be more beautiful than Snow White?
Upon hearing Lian Guihua’s words, Bai Xue bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly reddening, and turned to the crowd, saying…
“Don’t talk about me and Battalion Commander Li anymore, he already has a wife…”
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
The female soldiers reacted in various ways to the situation. Several of the comrades who were on good terms with Bai Xue saw that the person had run away and quickly chased after him.
Some people stayed behind and asked Lian Guihua for directions.
“Is Battalion Commander Li’s wife even prettier than Snow White?”
Although Lian Guihua didn’t like Xu Zhizhi, she couldn’t bring herself to say that Bai Xue was prettier. She gritted her teeth…
“You’ll see when you get there!”
…
Bai Xue ran back to the practice room and changed into a white cotton dress.
Fingers rest on the piano keys, moving continuously.
She wants to remember the pain of heartbreak, and she wants to write this profound feeling into her songs.
The female soldiers who followed saw Bai Xue’s thin jacket and couldn’t help but shiver.
Her roommate Xia Hong stepped forward to persuade her.
“Xue’er, shouldn’t we wear more layers so we don’t miss the rest of the performance?”
Bai Xue turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing sadly at the person who had followed her, a single tear sliding down her cheek.
“You don’t understand, only this white can express the pale and helpless heart I feel right now. I want to write my current feelings into my song…”
