Military Marriage in the ’70s: The Aloof Officer’s Sweetheart Chapter 6

Chapter 6

“Ah! Really? Could it be that the seats on this train are allocated according to the brigades in the villages?” Meng Wanshu exclaimed.

“We are divided roughly in different directions. I heard people chatting around me while I was having lunch just now. Most of them are from the production brigades under the Hongqi Commune,” Li Fengxian interrupted at the right time. When she noticed the looks from the girls around her, Li Fengxian continued to introduce them, “My name is Li Fengxian, and these are Feng Yuanming and Lu Zhixing. We are all educated youths from the Qingshan Brigade.”

“Hello,” Meng Wanshu greeted politely, then turned her gaze to Jiang Yule. This girl was really to her liking, especially since she had just confronted Bai Siyuan and Kang Yan, who were her family!

“Why are you staring at me?” Jiang Yule was frightened by Meng Wanshu’s stare. Compared with the puppy eyes now, she still liked the proud little girl just now more.

“I like you, you are pretty, can I be friends with you?” Meng Wanshu expressed her love very directly.

For a moment, it made Jiang Yule, a modern man, blush.

“Why is your skin so good? Are you using vanishing cream? You smell so good, what’s that?” Meng Wanshu kept mumbling to herself, like a pervert, and even got close to smell it.

If he hadn’t been so proud just now, Jiang Yule would have thought that this guy had some problem with his sexual orientation.

Embarrassed, she pushed back a little and raised her hand to touch her cheek. She had indeed become much whiter in the past few days. Her skin was delicate and smooth, and rosy, like a freshly peeled egg. Thinking about it carefully, it should be the effect of the fairy fruit.

It’s just that she couldn’t say it, but this wasn’t the smell of vanishing cream. Thinking about the skin care recipes she had come across in her previous life, Jiang Yule explained, “My mother taught me medical skills, and I use the ones I mixed myself. If you like it, when you get to the brigade and have some free time, I’ll make you one too.”

“Okay, okay. Then tell me what you want and I’ll buy it!” Meng Wanshu said in surprise. Meng Wanshu’s skin is also very fair, but her pores are somewhat obvious. Now she heard Jiang Yule say that she mixed it herself. She didn’t know how to start the conversation. She didn’t expect the other party to bring it up on his own initiative. It was really a pleasant surprise.

“Comrade Jiang Yule, can you help me prepare a copy? I will buy the ingredients myself!” Li Fengxian also whispered. She was a little dark, which had been her concern for many years…

“Sure, but some herbs may be a little expensive. We’ll treat them accordingly. If you think they’re expensive, we can look for cheaper ones with similar efficacy.” Jiang Yule readily agreed. He had done a lot of research on these for skin care in his previous life. Besides, there were also those sophisticated instruments in the space, so making some simple skin care products was not a difficult task.

“Thank you, Comrade Yule,” Li Fengxian said gratefully, and her address became more cordial.

“Just call me Yule,” Jiang Yule said in a friendly manner. They were all educated youth from the same place, so they were bound to come into contact with each other. It wouldn’t hurt to have more friends, but for those who were aggressive, she didn’t mind having more enemies.

“Then you can just call me Fengxian. Can I… teach you Wanshu?” Li Fengxian asked cautiously. She always felt that this girl was difficult to get along with, so she didn’t dare to treat her as easily as she did with Jiang Yule.

“Yes, both Wanshu and Wanwan are fine.”

As soon as Meng Wanshu finished speaking, she heard Bai Siyuan on the other side say

“Sister Wanshu has few friends, and she gets along well with Comrade Jiang. If there are any problems in the future, I hope Comrade Jiang will bear with her.”

“Please call me Comrade Meng. Do you know me well?” Meng Wanshu’s sweetness in front of Jiang Yule suddenly faded, and she rolled her eyes with disdain and disgust at the opposite side.

Jiang Yule didn’t want to say much, but seeing how disgusted Meng Wanshu was, he didn’t hold back.

“Comrade Bai has quite a few sisters, but if they are not biological sisters, you should stop talking about brothers and sisters. These days, it is not easy to be a hooligan.”

Central air conditioning, so annoying. Jiang Yule secretly labeled the other person in his heart. This kind of person is the most annoying. Just now, Kang Yan obviously liked him, but his attitude was unclear. He was still showing off like a brother and sister. Now there is another girl here, which is really annoying. She even got close to her, so don’t blame her for not giving him face.

The two girls’ merciless words completely silenced the three male comrades opposite them. They sat quietly in their seats, looking around but not daring to look at the people opposite them.

The words of several people fell into the ears of Qi Baimuchuan who was not far away.

“Brother Chuan, I can’t believe that this seemingly soft-hearted girl has such a sharp tongue,” Qi Bai said as he approached Mu Chuan.

Their seats were on the side of Jiang Yule, not far away to begin with. In addition, Qi Bai was eavesdropping on them on purpose, so he didn’t miss a word of their conversation. As for Mu Chuan, it was probably because of his poor hearing. He also listened to every word of their argument.

What a unreasonable little girl…

It gets dark late in the summer, but the sky is still bright at five o’clock. Jiang Yule looks at the lunch box on the table, then at Meng Wanshu who is sitting beside him.

“I’m going to the dining car to eat. Are you guys coming?” Although Jiang Yule was asking Li Fengxian and Meng Wanshu, he was waiting for Meng Wanshu’s answer.

During this afternoon, Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu got along better. They came from similar families and had similar values. Jiang Yule felt very relaxed when he was with such a girl.

After all, she was happily sharing the beautiful skirt she bought, but the other party was concerned about whether the skirt was practical or not, and even thought she was a spendthrift. That was more than just a disappointment.

“I’ll go! Together!” As soon as Jiang Yule opened his mouth, Meng Wanshu immediately agreed. She wanted to go with Yule and didn’t want to eat with those two disgusting brothers and sisters. She couldn’t spit out the delicious braised pork.

“Then Wanshu, Yule, you go ahead. I’ll show you something,” Li Fengxian said a little embarrassedly. She also wanted to go with them, but she was really short of money. She couldn’t afford the boxed meals on the dining car. However, although she felt embarrassed, Li Fengxian didn’t feel jealous. She thought that people should eat according to their ability. Their wealth was accumulated by their ancestors and had nothing to do with her. So when she looked at the two of them, her eyes were open and frank.

“Thank you for your hard work, Fengxian. This is for you. Thank you for helping me look after my luggage.” Meng Wanshu took out a piece of chocolate from her bag and stuffed it into Li Fengxian’s hand.

The exquisite packaging looked very valuable. Li Fengxian subconsciously wanted to push it out, but before she could raise her hand, Meng Wanshu pushed it back.

She still had the same spoiled lady tone as when she got on the car, “This is my way of thanking you, you have to accept it, otherwise I will ignore you!”

“Okay, okay, keep it to yourself. If you don’t let us get angry, we will be furious soon.” Jiang Yule looked at Meng Wanshu, who raised his chin and glanced at Li Fengxian from time to time, and said jokingly.

But when he glanced at the chocolate in Li Fengxian’s hand….is that packaging really available in this era? Jiang Yule was a little confused.

Seeing this, Li Fengxian knew that if she pushed it any further, she would be hypocritical, so she carefully put it into her bag and said to the two of them seriously, “Thank you for the candy. Don’t worry about your luggage, I will take good care of it.”

“Thank you.” Seeing Li Fengxian’s response, Meng Wanshu’s face was filled with smiles, and she was about to pull Jiang Yule to the dining car. However, before the two of them could even lift their feet, Meng Wanshu heard a voice from the side that made her extremely disgusted.

“Sister, are you going to eat? I’m going too. Brother Siyuan, let’s go together.” Kang Yan’s seat was not far from them and close to the aisle, so when she saw Meng Wanshu pulling Jiang Yule up, she guessed that they were going to eat. As expected, she came over to listen. Since she had a free dinner, Kang Yan naturally couldn’t waste it.

But Jiang Yule’s mind is really annoying. He wants to please Meng Wanshu and seduce Brother Siyuan.

However, Kang Yan only dared to think about this in her heart. Jiang Yule was a talker, and she might accuse her of something wrong. What’s more… if there was any conflict, Meng Wanshu would definitely protect Jiang Yule. Now that they hadn’t reached the place where they were going to the countryside, thinking of her mother’s warning before leaving, Kang Yan didn’t dare to go against Meng Wanshu.

“I haven’t eaten yet, stop disgusting me. If you have money, go eat by yourself. Also! I’m not your sister. If you continue to disgust me like this, be careful or I’ll call you back and cut off your living expenses.” Meng Wanshu frowned and glared at Kang Yan, her eyes full of disgust as if she was looking at stinky dog ​​shit.

“Sister…Wanwan, how could you do this?” Kang Yan began to sob as she spoke, looking like someone had bullied her, but from the perspective of others, it might not be that ideal…

Kang Yan’s skin is a bit yellow, the kind with black and red in it, and she happened to wear a bright-colored skirt, which made her look even worse. She looked rustic and now she looked like she was crying. Even a fool trying to imitate her would be more pleasing to the eye than her…

Jiang Yule was so annoyed by her appearance that he was about to say something when he heard the central air conditioner opposite start up.

“Sister Yan… Yan Zi, Wan Wan and Comrade Jiang get along well, so let them go together. I’ll go with you.” Bai Siyuan was just saying this when his mind suddenly flashed back to Jiang Yule’s remarks about brothers and sisters in the afternoon. He instantly swallowed back the words “Sister Yan” that he hadn’t said yet.

“Well… okay, then I’ll go with Brother Siyuan today.” When Kang Yan heard that she could have dinner with Brother Siyuan, she stopped crying and raised her arm to wipe away her tears.

Just this time… I just wiped off half of my eyebrows…

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yule couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Before the other party could react, he pulled Meng Wanshu away.

When they got to the next carriage, before Jiang Yule could say anything, Meng Wanshu laughed unrestrainedly beside them.

“Haha …

Seeing her laugh so happily, Jiang Yule couldn’t help but laugh too.

The girls’ crisp laughter moved the passengers around. Although they didn’t know what the two beautiful and well-dressed girls were laughing at, they were still infected by the laughter and put on a little smile on their faces. The dull carriage seemed to have color.

The two of them came all the way to the dining car. When Sister Mei saw Jiang Yule coming, she was so happy, especially when she saw that Jiang Yule brought another beautiful girl with him. Her smile became even brighter.

“Yu Le is here. Did you bring your lunch box? Sister Mei will heat it up for you.”

“I brought it. Thank you for your help, Sister Mei,” Jiang Yule said as he handed over his lunch box.

“Why are you being so polite?” Sister Mei said as she handed the lunch box to the kitchen staff. Then she came back and continued, “Yu Le, is this your friend? Tell me what you want to eat.”

“Do you know each other?” Meng Wanshu asked blankly. In her impression… these people with stable jobs don’t have such good attitudes, right?

“I just met her today. Sister Mei is a very nice person.”

“Oh, look at what you said, I’m embarrassed.” Sister Mei was embarrassed by what Jiang Yule said. She waved her hand shyly and changed the subject, “What does this lady want to eat? It’s still early, I’ll make you a portion first.”

Meng Wanshu ordered a box lunch for one yuan, and then continued, “Sister Mei, just call me Wanshu. Yule and I are both educated youth who went to the countryside this time.”

“Okay, go find a place to sit, I’ll bring it to you later.”

“Okay, thank you sister,” Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu responded sweetly. Sister Mei really enjoyed being called sister. Her hands became much steadier when serving the rice, and not a piece of meat fell out.

Bai Siyuan and Kang Yan who followed in were not so lucky… Kang Yan didn’t have much money, so she followed Bai Siyuan and ordered a 70-cent lunch box each. After that, she just stood there without any intention of taking the money or the ticket.

Bai Siyuan was helpless, he sighed secretly, and reluctantly gave the money out.

This Kang Yan… is always like this. He doesn’t have a lot of money, so he can’t keep spending money on her…

Bai Siyuan’s mind suddenly flashed with the faces of Meng Wanshu and Jiang Yule. Meng Wanshu had always been gentle to him before, but recently she didn’t know what had happened. Whenever she saw him, her face wasn’t a face and her nose wasn’t a nose. He felt that she was getting further and further away from him. How about changing her partner? But… Jiang Yule didn’t seem to be someone who was easy to get along with either…

Jiang Yule’s seat was facing the window where Sister Mei was. She noticed the clinginess between the two, as well as Kang Yan’s reluctance to pay and Bai Siyuan’s unwillingness…

It seems that Bai Siyuan….is just looking at the atmosphere…

“Come to think of it, what’s your relationship with those two masters?” Jiang Yule asked, raising his chin towards the window. As soon as he said that, Meng Wanshu’s face darkened, so he said, “I’m just asking casually. You don’t have to say anything you don’t want to say.”

“There’s nothing to hide. Bai Siyuan and his family live next door to me, so we grew up together. When my mom was alive, she wanted to get us engaged, but then she got sick and never mentioned it. On the contrary, Bai Siyuan’s parents were very concerned about it. As for Kang Yan…my dad remarried after my mom passed away the year before last. Kang Yan is the child brought by that woman…”

Meng Wanshu said it easily, but if it happened to me, my mother passed away two years ago, and my father remarried not long after that. No one could accept it calmly.

“Then your father…” Jiang Yule suddenly thought… if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather…
