Lin Jiao smiled shyly and looked at Zhou Shilin calmly and generously, her tone as soft as a little sheep.
"Comrade Zhou, is this crispy pork for our family?"
Zhou Shilin had a question mark on his face.
Whose cheek is not closed properly, and the one who celebrates the New Year is released.
He only showed his true side in front of Wen Qian. He had always been cold-faced and repulsive to outsiders, so he just glanced at Lin Jiao lightly and strode away.
The smile on Lin Jiao's face suddenly couldn't be held back.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet, turned around and rushed back home. As soon as she entered the door, she kicked the dog with a ferocious look as if she was venting her anger. She was so frightened that the dog did not dare to bark even after being beaten, and did not look back with its tail between its legs. The ground ran away.
Lin Xiang frowned.
"What's wrong? Who messed with you again when you went out?"
"No one."
Lin Jiao was just a girl who was in love with spring. She was humiliated by Zhou Shilin outside. She didn't have the nerve to tell everyone about it. She went into the inner room with a blushing face, covered her quilt with a quilt and lay down on the bed to sulk.
It seemed that Lin Xiang was as big as one head and two heads.
She wrapped all the remaining dumplings in her hand before entering the inner room. She reached out and lifted the quilt off Lin Jiao. Seeing her eyes full of tears, she was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Why are you crying?" ?”
"Don't worry!"
Lin Jiao's voice had a strong nasal sound, and she raised her hand to snatch the quilt back. How could Lin Xiang give her this chance? Her face turned cold, and she stopped coddling her and asked sternly: "What's going on!"
"Woooo..."
Lin Jiao burst into tears immediately.
"There are no good people in your family's courtyard. That Captain Zhou, what does he have to be proud of? Why does he ignore others when they talk to him? Why? Am I blind when a living person like me stands in front of him... …”
Lin Xiang understood it as soon as she heard it.
She also came here when she was young, and knew that young girls have no ability to resist men like Zhou Shilin. It would be fine if they were single, but they were already married.
Thinking about it is in vain.
"You're still wronged. It's normal for people to ignore you when they get married. You, you are dreaming every day. Quickly put your wandering mind away and find a good partner. You are a grown-up person and nothing will happen to you. Understand."
Lin Jiao didn't listen to a word of her sister's nagging.
She was so shocked by the news that Zhou Shilin was married that it took her a long time to say, "Is he married?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiang quickly folded the quilt back up and said: "All married people live in this family home. How can unmarried people live in the family home? You know the Jiaren Clothing Store, his wife is the boss, listen. It’s said to be very profitable, and it’s even famous in the county.”
When Lin Jiao heard this, she felt as if she had eaten plum blossoms.
She snorted softly and said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter if you make money. A woman's heart becomes wild when she is in public all day long. A woman should stay at home, take care of her husband and educate her children, serve her husband well, and discipline her children well. This is a woman's success." Who can’t make money, I can, but I regard money as dirt.”
Lin Xiang: "..."
Just blow it.
She warned her sister to break her unrealistic thoughts as soon as possible and not to fantasize about people she shouldn't fantasize about.
"Wen Qian is dozens of times more beautiful than you. You can't compare to her even if you were reincarnated again."
Lin Jiao was furious when she heard this.
"Sister, why are you turning your elbows outward?"
***
Wen Qian knew nothing about the dispute between the Lin sisters.
After a busy day, she was so tired that her back ached. She didn't even bother to watch a movie in the courtyard. If her wife didn't go, Zhou Shilin naturally didn't go either. The two of them leaned together and talked around the stove with a special warmth.
Poor Lin Jiao is still looking forward to seeing Zhou Shilin again.
He waited downstairs until the end of the movie without seeing anyone. Everyone was numb from the cold. He developed a high fever that night, which made Lin Xiang angry and distressed. He stayed up all night to take care of her.
The next day.
New Year's Eve.
Zhou Shilin got up early and pasted the couplets with glue. He wrote the couplets himself, and the flying calligraphy looked very impressive. After he finished pasting them, he looked at them and prepared to enter the house.
Suddenly someone approached from the side.
"Comrade Zhou, can I ask you a favor?"
Lin Jiao was wearing a red coat, and the ends of her ponytail were tied with a red bow. Her face was still a little pale due to illness, and her timid look added to her frailty.
However, Zhou Shilin was indifferent.
He stared at the red paper in Lin Jiao's hand and refused directly before she could speak, saying, "No, my hand feels uncomfortable and I can't hold the pen."
Lin Jiao: "..."
She just watched Zhou Shilin tell lies with his eyes open and didn't know how to refute. She was about to act shamelessly, when she suddenly heard a sweet voice coming from the room, which made all the bones in her body tingle. .
"Brother Lin, who are you talking to?"
Zhou Shilin's frown instantly relaxed, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes that was inconsistent with his cold face. He responded to the room with a gentle voice: "No one, someone I don't know."
Lin Jiao's eyes suddenly widened.
She was actually an unknown person to Zhou Shilin? !
"you……"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Shilin entered the room with a bowl of paste and slammed the door. The cold wind brought by it filled Lin Jiao's mouth. He was really impatient to deal with this kind of food as he was celebrating the New Year. Mature woman.
Inside, Wen Qian was still lying on the warm quilt.
When Zhou Shilin came in, he stretched out his hand towards him.
"give me a hug."
"I feel cold."
Zhou Shilin went to the stove to dry himself before putting his hand into the quilt, picking up Wen Qian and leaning on his chest. Seeing the little woman in his arms leaning against him as soft as a bone, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her. one time.
Wen Qian wiped her face in disgust.
"Disgusting, spitting all over my face."
Captain Zhou, who was disliked by his wife, was rebellious. He deliberately smiled and kissed the other cheek hard, then looked at Wen Qian provocatively, with a look on his face like "What can you do to me?"
Wen Qian was speechless, muttering childishly.
Then he asked Zhou Shilin who he was talking to outside just now.
"Isn't he your admirer?"
"no."
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Zhou Shilin explained very seriously.
"I have never met this person. He may be a relative of someone's family. He asked me to write couplets for him. I refused directly."
Wen Qian nodded thoughtfully and said in a long voice, "My Captain Zhou is really a magnet."
Zhou Shilin: "..."
It's almost like a rotten peach blossom.
The two had a fuss on the bed before getting up. Zhou Shilin had no relatives here, and she was the only one left with Wen Qian's adoptive mother. She didn't want to recognize the other seven aunts, eight aunts, and relatives she couldn't reach. , so I don’t have to visit relatives and friends, and I can just live my own life behind closed doors.
I just had a casual breakfast.
For lunch, we had hot-boiled mutton. The Inner Mongolian lamb was sliced into thin slices and cooked by rolling it in the bottom of a homemade butter pan. It was dipped in sesame sauce and eaten with a mouthful full of fragrance.
Wen Qian also specially bought wine made from fruit.
It was sour and sweet with a hint of spiciness, and it was very enjoyable to drink in the ice and snow. One sip of wine and one bite of meat, and I drank too much without realizing it. The consequence of drinking too much was that I slept all afternoon, until Du Chunfeng and several other military wives I woke up when I came over to visit.
