Shi Tingyu ignored the people in the carriage, turned around and stood up to get off.
Lu Weiguo stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards her.
Shi Tingyu subconsciously handed her hand to him, thinking that this time he would be supporting her as usual.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiguo held her hand, clasped her waist with the other hand, and hugged her down.
His movements were neat and easy, as if he were holding a child.
Everyone's expressions were complicated. At this time, they didn't know whether they were more envious or more embarrassed.
Apart from anything else, this battalion commander Lu really loves his wife.
After Shi Tingyu landed safely, Lu Weiguo reached out and patted her on the head, then turned to look at the people in the car.
Especially the ones Shi Tingyu named before.
Not to mention these women, even men would be scared to be stared at like this.
Lu Weiguo spoke in a condensed voice, "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. I have no objection to the decision above. The third battalion commander deserves this promotion regardless of his military age or military merit."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little unsure of what Lu Weiguo meant by what he said.
Lu Weiguo changed the topic and said: "I have no objection to the decision above, but."
As soon as his words came out, the previous few people began to feel a little nervous.
"However, I am disappointed in what you have said about my daughter-in-law and her family."
"You are military family members. Which of your family members or husbands has never been on a mission? When you slandered my wife and my father-in-law, have you ever thought that the weapons in your family's hands were researched and improved by the people you slandered? ?”
"I don't ask you to be grateful, but when your relatives can return safely, I hope you will not forget the contribution of weapons researchers. It is them who make your relatives less injured or even avoid death during the mission."
"As beneficiaries, others can criticize them, but we soldiers and military families cannot."
Lu Weiguo was really a little angry. If he hadn't been in the cab and couldn't get down halfway, he would have gone forward and argued with these people.
Many of the weapons they are using now were improved by Shi Qian after he returned to China. How else could the leaders of the military region protect the Shi family so much?
Seeing these people standing and talking without pain in their backs, he felt aggrieved for his father-in-law.
Shi Tingyu looked at the man's angry appearance and felt that the man in front of him was very tall.
She reached out to hold Lu Weiguo's hand and faced the people in the carriage with a solemn expression: "My parents were decentralized and they accepted this arrangement. They have no complaints because they have feelings and they still love this place." land."
After speaking, Shi Tingyu said to Lu Weiguo: "Weiguo, let's go."
Lu Weiguo squeezed Shi Tingyu's hand, turned and left.
It wasn't until the two figures disappeared into the street that everyone slowly got out of the car.
Their expressions were either regretful or frightened, and no one dared to talk about this topic.
When the driver, Xiao Meng, saw that everyone had gotten out of the car, he leaned on the window and looked in the direction of the car. He said in a serious tone: "Sisters-in-law, if you don't want others to say anything, just tell them what you said. Not only will it chill other people's minds. If you have a bad heart, you will bring trouble to your own men."
Several people turned red with shame and hurried away.
Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo let go of their hands as soon as they walked into the crowd.
People coming and going on the street don't walk holding hands like this.
Lu Weiguo turned his head and glanced at his wife beside him, his eyes full of worry. He asked, "Have you known about those rumors?"
"Um."
Shi Tingyu didn't hide it from her. After all, she was staying in the family courtyard. Lu Weiguo, a person who often spent time at the training ground, knew it. Could she still know?
"Don't take it seriously. It's not because of you that you didn't get promoted this time." Lu Weiguo didn't know how to comfort his wife for a moment, so he told her his truest thoughts, "Actually, it's not because of you that I didn't get promoted this time." It’s good. If I get promoted at my age, it would be a bit too conspicuous. If I don’t get promoted, it would be a good thing.”
The promotion of battalion commander is an important turning point in military career. Some people who have not been promoted for many years have to retire and return home.
Only by rising to the regiment level can you stay in the military camp longer.
He is still young and can afford to wait.
Shi Tingyu smiled at her, "I know there is a reason why I wasn't promoted this time. You don't have to help me make up for it, but since you said it doesn't matter, I believe you."
Lu Weiguo didn't know whether she was a true believer or a false believer, so he could only emphasize over and over again that it was a good thing not to be promoted. Even without her, he would not be promoted.
At this time, he particularly missed Feng Wei's eloquent mouth.
Shi Tingyu took two steps forward and interrupted her chatter: "Let's go, finish shopping and go back."
The topic ended like this. Lu Weiguo accompanied Shi Tingyu to buy meat at the supply and marketing cooperative. By the way, he had to add some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home if there was any shortage.
Along the way, Lu Weiguo carefully observed Shi Tingyu's expression, fearing that she would still blame herself for this matter.
It's just that Shi Tingyu's facial management was very successful, and he didn't see any emotion at all.
After the supply truck returned, no one told anyone about what happened on the truck today.
In the afternoon.
Lu Weiguo was weeding the vegetable patch in the yard.
Feng Wei walked in and saw Lu Weiguo working with a straw hat on his head. He couldn't help but joke, "Don't tell me, you really look like that when you work."
Lu Weiguo raised his head and saw that it was Feng Wei. He piled up the grass in his hands and moved his chin towards another vegetable patch. "You're here just in time. Help me pull the weeds."
Feng Wei's mouth twitched. If he had known this, he would have died in the office.
After thinking about it, Feng Wei rolled up his sleeves.
"I said, Lao Lu, has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered in your vegetable patch? This grass has grown too strong."
"You know what the heck, our vegetable plot is very nutritious. Look at the cabbage, it's so juicy." Lu Weiguo was unhappy. Her wife was taking care of the vegetable plot, and he looked very good.
Feng Wei:......
He shouldn't have come.
Feng Wei's family does not come from a rural area, but he was once arrested by the Chief Secretary to do farm work, so he is still good at pulling weeds.
When Shi Tingyu heard the commotion and came out, she saw two men pulling weeds in her small vegetable garden.
"Jiao Feng is here, stop working, come in and take a rest."
Facing Shi Tingyu's invitation, Feng Wei said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just this little bit of land, Lao Lu and I can get it done in a moment."
Lu Weiguo also said: "Daughter-in-law, please go back to the house and rest. We are used to it, so we are not tired."
Feng Wei looked at him and bared his teeth at him.
When Shi Tingyu saw the offer, she stopped trying. She took some mung beans and went to the kitchen to make a pot of mung bean soup.
Waiting for them to finish their work to cool off from the heat.
Watching Shi Tingyu washing mung beans, Feng Wei nudged Lu Weiguo next to him with his elbow, "Lao Lu, my siblings haven't been affected by the rumors recently, have they?"
Lu Weiguo moved to the side, "What do you think?"
Feng Wei touched his chin and rubbed the mud on his cheek without knowing it, "I can't tell clearly, but people say that the calmer you are when something happens, the more you will care about it."
Lu Weiguo looked at him suspiciously, "You're not here today because of the rumors, are you?"
"I really am." Feng Wei was unambiguous. "As an instructor, I have to take care of this matter. I can't let you and your wife have conflicts over this matter."
Lu Weiguo looked at Shi Tingyu who was busy in the kitchen, but he didn't say anything unnecessary.
He wasn't sure whether his wife was telling the truth or just pretending not to care so that he wouldn't notice.
Now that Feng Wei, a eloquent person, is here, he can help comfort him.
It's better if you don't care. If you still care about the rumors, it's not bad to let Feng Wei do the ideological work.
