Military Marriage in the ’70s: The Aloof Officer’s Sweetheart Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Meng Wanshu waved her hands, “Look, does this seem boring? With Mu Chuan’s personality, I’m afraid he won’t even look at me if I die in front of him.”

“That’s impossible. Brother Chuan was a soldier before. If civilians got into trouble in front of him, he would definitely save them.”

Meng Wanshu glared at Qi Bai for such a disappointing and unromantic remark.

“Am I talking about whether I live or die?!!!” Meng Wanshu punched Qi Bai.

Seeing his puzzled expression, she took a long breath and continued, “I mean, from what I’ve learned about Mu Chuan in the past few days, he’s not the type to be soft-hearted towards girls. If he had no feelings for Yu Le, would he still help her after knowing Yu Le’s thoughts? And even give his water to Yu Le to drink?”

Hearing Meng Wanshu’s analysis, Qi Bai’s eyes were a little evasive. Knowing these secrets but not being able to share them was really going to make him sick. However, he didn’t dare to tell anyone about Brother Chuan, so he could only perfunctorily say, “That’s right. When I was in the army, Brother Chuan didn’t even let me use his water bottle.”

“See! Right! I said how could I be wrong?” Meng Wanshu’s thoughts were confirmed, and she clapped her legs excitedly. That’s what she said, if she was wrong, then all those romance novels she read in her previous life would have been in vain.

Mu Chuan just likes Yu Le. Compared to Yu Le’s idea of ​​twisting the melon, Mu Chuan is the one who really likes him. But why did he reject him? Yu Le’s attitude when he came back that day clearly showed that Yu Le had expressed his affection, but was rejected by Mu Chuan.

Meng Wanshu couldn’t figure it out, her rosy little face wrinkled tightly…

“Don’t think about it. Go take a rest and drink some water. Don’t get a heat stroke.” Qi Bai didn’t want to continue talking about Mu Chuan. He was really afraid that he would betray Chuan if he couldn’t hold it in….

“Okay, I’ll go check on Yule, Aunt Gaixian, I’m going to go get some water, I’ll be right back.”

“Okay, no rush, take a rest.”

After Aunt Gaixian finished speaking, Meng Wanshu got up from the ground and ran towards Jiang Yule. When she got to him, she sat down on the ground without caring about anything.

Aunt Gaixian felt a pang of pain when she saw this. She felt it was a pity that the new clothes that other families couldn’t even wear during the New Year were worn by this little girl and rubbed against the dirt.

However, Aunt Gaixian was just sighing, not really thinking that Meng Wanshu was a spendthrift. After all, he had the means, so it was only natural for him to treat her better.

“Yu Le, are you okay?” Meng Wanshu pulled the clean spot on her sleeve to wipe the sweat off Jiang Yu Le’s face and asked worriedly.

“It’s okay, I just squatted for too long and have some hypoglycemia, but it’s nothing serious.”

“Well, then take a break. You’ve already pulled out a lot. Auntie Gaixian said that she saw you doing such a good job on the first day of work, right?”

“Really? Then I have to be more restrained, otherwise the captain will find out when I slack off in the future,” Jiang Yule said jokingly.

“Hahahaha, that’s right. We have to prepare for being lazy in the future.” Meng Wanshu said with a smile and looked at the time. “Yule, what do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll make it for you. You’ve been tired all morning, so you need to replenish yourself.”

Jiang Yule thought about it. The weather was too hot and he didn’t seem to want to eat anything. Thinking about the food in his space, Jiang Yule’s eyes lit up. He leaned close to Meng Wanshu’s ear and whispered, “Hamburger Fat House Happy Water, please?”

“Yes!” Meng Wanshu said in surprise. The weather was just perfect! But the surprise was fleeting. Meng Wanshu frowned and thought about the things in her house. “Yu Le, I don’t seem to have anything…”

“I have! Just order whatever you want, I have everything you want!”

“Wow, Yule, you’re so nice, I love you!” Meng Wanshu exclaimed happily, and the next moment she gave Jiang Yule a kiss on her pink and tender face.

Jiang Yule pushed Meng Wanshu away in disgust, but Meng Wanshu would never let Jiang Yule hide away. Her mind was full of hamburgers and ice cola. She kissed Jiang Yule twice before letting him go. The two girls laughed together.

“Brother, are you envious?” Just as Mu Chuan’s eyes unconsciously looked at the little girl who looked disgusted but smiled happily, Qi Bai’s slightly teasing voice rang in his ears.

Mu Chuan turned back and glared at him unhappily, then lowered his head and continued to do his work. If he did more, the little girl would have to do less.

“Brother, I’m asking you, are you envious?” Qi Bai said, somewhat worried about his own safety. He stepped a little further away and continued, “Today it was Wan Shu who kissed me, but in a while it might be another man who kissed me. What if it was Zhou Jiashu? That scene…tsk tsk tsk tsk”

As Qi Bai spoke, he became more and more immersed in his own imagination and did not notice that Mu Chuan was looking at him. When he realized it, he was kicked by Mu Chuan and staggered.

Qi Bai, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Mu Chuan who was weeding the field again with dissatisfaction. He said, “Why did you move your feet when you were just talking?”

“Brother…think about it…” Qi Bai wanted to say something else, but he saw Mu Chuan looking at him with a gloomy face. His expression was very scary. Qi Bai didn’t dare to say anything else. He could only smile and walk away, saying as he walked, “No more, no more.”

After the people left, Mu Chuan lowered his head to work again, but his eyes unconsciously swept over the girls sitting over there laughing and playing.

It must be said that Qi Bai’s words touched him. Not to mention Zhou Jiashu kissing Jiang Yule, even the scene when Zhou Jiashu looked at Jiang Yule tenderly and Jiang Yule affectionately called Jiashu brother when they first got in the car was even more dazzling.

What brother and sister? He doesn’t believe in that. Just like the woman who harmed his family before, she was the daughter of his father’s old friend. She kept saying that he was her brother, but she used her brother and sister to get close to him. If she couldn’t achieve her goal, she would destroy him.

Therefore, in Mu Chuan’s opinion, the so-called brothers and sisters just gave themselves a relatively reasonable identity for a purpose.

The same is true for Zhou Jiashu, not only Zhou Jiashu, but also Zhou Jialin!

When he thought of this, Mu Chuan felt itchy and looked at Jiang Yule with a possessive desire that he himself hadn’t even noticed.

Every household was busy with their own work and did not notice Jiang Yule’s situation, except for one person.

Nie Xiangdie saw all the situation on Jiang Yule’s side.

A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes

It was obvious that she was the one who fell in love with Mu Chuan first, so why did Jiang Yule deprive Mu Chuan of all sight as soon as he appeared!

Nie Xiangdie first met Mu Chuan at the beginning of the year. It was also the first time he came back from the army to visit his grandparents after something happened in Mu Chuan’s family.

At that time, there was a heavy snowfall in Qingshan Brigade. Li Wanguo accompanied Nie Xiangdie to the town to pick up the parcel sent by her family. The educated youth Zhou Ningxin also went with them.

If Nie Xiangdie’s thick clothes had not been damaged by Nie Shuhui’accidentally’, she would not have gone to the town when it was snowing so heavily.

But later, Nie Xiangdie was particularly glad that she went to the town that day and did not even tell her family about Nie Shuhui’s bad behavior.

If it weren’t for Nie Shuhui, she wouldn’t have gone to town, nor would she have met Mu Chuan

Until now, the scene of seeing Mu Chuan is still deeply engraved in her mind.

It was snowing heavily that day, and the road was very slippery. Nie Xiangdie accidentally fell into a ditch on the side of the road. Li Wanguo and Zhou Ningxin didn’t have the right tools to pull her up. She sprained her foot and was unable to climb up. Just when she was at a loss, she looked up and saw Mu Chuan, who was dressed in military uniform, carrying a bag, and looking at her.

He was straight, handsome, and inexplicably reliable. At that moment, Nie Xiangdie’s heart inexplicably felt much calmer.

Mu Chuan took out an old universal rope from the package and gave it to Li Wanguo

“Use this”

Li Wanguo took the belt, threw one end to Nie Xiangdie, and held the other end in his hand. Mu Chuan lent a hand at the right time, and after pulling the person up, he pulled the universal rope and turned away neatly.

Qi Bai: You see, my brother Chuan will still lend a hand when he sees people in trouble.

Meng Wanshu: Your brother Chuan helped my sister and me at that time!

…..

At that time, Mu Chuan had just learned that his family was harmed by that woman because of him. Mu Chuan didn’t want to have anything to do with women at all, so he left in a decisive manner.

When Nie Xiangdie came up, she only saw Mu Chuan’s back, but that one glance also engraved him deeply in her mind.

She asked his name, but he left without answering.

It was not until she returned to the village that she heard from the villagers that it was the grandson of the Shen family, named Mu Chuan…

After that day, she went to Shen’s house, but she didn’t see Mu Chuan. A few days later, she got the news that Mu Chuan had left. She thought she would never see Mu Chuan again…

God knows how happy she was when she heard the news that Mu Chuan was coming back for a long vacation, but why…why this time, Mu Chuan had someone else in his eyes!

Thinking of this, Nie Xiangdie walked towards Mu Chuan step by step, her steps were pious, as if she was walking towards her own faith.

“Comrade Mu Chuan, do you still remember me?” Mu Chuan, who was thinking about his brother and sister, was interrupted by this strange voice. He looked up unhappily. The voice was strange, and the person in front of him was even more strange.

“I don’t remember,” Mu Chuan said coldly. He recognized the person in front of him as the one who had a conflict with Jiang Yule in the morning. He felt inexplicably disgusted. Sure enough, he still hated women. Jiang Yule was the exception.

“I… I’m Nie Xiangdie. I’m the girl you saved from the roadside ditch during the heavy snow at the beginning of the year. I wanted to thank you at that time, but unfortunately I didn’t get to see you.” Nie Xiangdie didn’t expect Mu Chuan didn’t remember her at all. She explained anxiously, trying to evoke his continued

At this point, Mu Chuan stopped pulling out the weeds and stared at a spot on the ground, as if thinking about something.

Nie Xiangdie thought he remembered, and continued in an excited tone, “You remembered it, right, Comrade Mu Chuan? I really thank you for that day…”

Hearing the woman’s nagging, Mu Chuan frowned, his eyes still fixed on a certain spot on the ground, and said in an unhappy tone, “I don’t remember whether I saved you or not, but you are going to trample my seedlings to death.”

“That was the seedling that Jiang Yule had just avoided while sitting on the ground because he was dizzy, but it was stepped on by this inexplicable woman!” Mu Chuan complained in his heart.

Nie Shufen didn’t expect Mu Chuan to say this suddenly. After a moment of shock, she looked at the rice seedlings under her feet and exclaimed apologetically.

“Oh, sorry, Comrade Muchu”

The voice was a bit harsh, and Mu Chuan’s face darkened a little, and he ignored this inexplicable woman.

Nie Xiangdie just stood there, at a loss as to what to do. It was not right to leave or not to leave.

Under the big tree, Jiang Yule, who was joking with Meng Wanshu, restrained his expression, raised his chin in the direction of Mu Chuan with a teasing look, and signaled Meng Wanshu to look over there.

“See, I was wondering why you looked so different this early in the morning when we first met, and your face and nose are not the same. It turns out this is the reason.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, look at this aggrieved little expression, do you think Mu Chuan will fall for it?”

“Who knows? It’s almost time. Let’s go back first.” Jiang Yule stood up and walked home with Meng Wanshu carrying tools. As for the work in the field? Aren’t there two of us? We are so affectionate. We should work hard and do more….

After the two left, Nie Xiangdie lingered for a long time before leaving. After they left, Mu Chuan subconsciously looked under a big tree not far away. The two little girls who were laughing and playing just now were gone. He stood up and looked around but didn’t see anyone. There was no one on the way back to the village.

Mu Chuan frowned and glanced at Qi Bai who was not far away, and asked in a deep voice, “Where are they?”

“Who?” Qi Bai looked up with a dull look. After looking for a long time, he didn’t know who his brother Chuan was asking.

If he didn’t want to know where the little girl was, Mu Chuan didn’t want to talk to these two idiots. He let out a long breath and pointed at the empty tree patiently, “Where is she?”

Qi Bai looked in the direction of Mu Chuan’s finger and said, “Yu Le and Wan Shu, look at you, Yu Le is Yu Le, leave it to them, how would I know who you are talking about?”

“Get to the point!” Mu Chuan felt that his anger was about to reach his head. What on earth was wrong with this guy?

“Let’s go home!” Qi Bai shrank his neck subconsciously after being scolded by Mu Chuan, and didn’t dare to say a word.

“When did you leave?” Mu Chuan asked

“Oh, when you were talking to that female educated youth.”

Mu Chuan:…I drew my sword and looked around, feeling confused. Are you talking about me?

Mu Chuan once again let out a long breath, so long that Qi Bai felt he was about to pass out.

But even so, Mu Chuan still felt very tight in his chest.

After finishing the morning’s work for my aunt and Jiang Yule, I went home feeling a little dejected.

Shen Family….

“What’s wrong with this kid? He didn’t look so depressed before. Did something happen this morning?” Grandma Shen looked at Mu Chuan and pulled her eldest daughter-in-law aside to ask.

“No, I saw Mu Chuan just went to work, and he didn’t talk to Yu Le like that, what could have happened?” Fang Aiping didn’t know, and she was guessing in her heart, could it be that his confession failed? It shouldn’t be, there are so many people in the area, Mu Chuan knows his limits, he definitely can’t say these things at this time, so what else could it be?

“You should go and take a look this afternoon. I always feel that this child is not in a good state. He looks so dejected, just like your eldest son when he was abandoned by the educated youth,” Grandma Shen complained.

“Mom! Don’t mention the Wen Ke thing anymore. Besides, it was you who disagreed, so how could Wen Ke be abandoned?” Fang Aiping was not happy about her son being criticized, and she argued unconvincedly.
