When Liu Cheng got the letter, he was in the field training in the partial army, and he couldn't leave, and when he returned to Chuncheng a month later, the admission letters came down.= As for Zhang Xiulan, she has already packed up her things, but when the day comes, she will leave with her things.When he returned home, when he entered the house and saw his mother looking up at him, he didn't say anything, Liu Cheng knew that he was still angry with himself, and took the initiative to break the silence, "Mom, where is Xiulan?"
”I went into the house while changing my shoes.Mother Liu stopped the grandchildren who were going over, and said lightly, "I'm going to school, making clothes upstairs, how can I prepare a few decent clothes, wouldn't it be a pity not to dress up at a young age." ”"Then I'll go upstairs and have a look."
Seeing that his mother was blocking his sons from getting close to him, Liu Cheng went upstairs stupidly.Mother Liu hummed lightly.As for Liu Yu, I happened to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup today, and it was only half a month before the delivery date, and my stomach was very active in the past few days, and the examination said that it was hypoxia, so I had to go to the hospital every day to inhale oxygen.Zhang Xiulan made a few coats according to the weather in Shanghai and the wind was strong in winter, and knitted two sweaters to wear, and was making pants at this time, when she heard someone pushing the door in, she thought it was her mother-in-law, but when she turned around and saw that it was Liu Cheng, the smile on her face faded directly."
You're back."
The smile fades away, but people still talk, but you can't find fault with it.Seeing his wife's strange appearance with himself, Liu Cheng only felt powerless, but he still stepped forward cheekily and hugged the person in his arms, "Did you really choose such a far university?"
”In fact, there is such a design university in the province nearby, and when the two of them were not angry before, they also said such a thing, but this halfway has changed, and you don't have to guess to know what's going on.Zhang Xiulan naturally took off the hand on her waist.Withdrawing from his arms, "I'm making clothes, don't mess with it." ”While lowering his head and continuing to cut his clothes, he said, "I thought about it for a while, it's better to go to a big city, so that my vision can be more open."
It's you.Got back to the group to do something?
”When it comes to the regiment's affairs.Liu Cheng's face tightened again."
This time I took a special leave to pick you up, since you have to go to school, there are still some days, right?
I'll pick you up and stay home for a few days. ”"No, I don't.I still have to report in half a month, and I will accompany my children more these days, after all, this walk is four or five months, and the army is there.More time when you're in the army and less time at home.So I don't have to take care of myself, and you can take care of yourself. ”Zhang Xiulan didn't raise her head, otherwise she would definitely be able to see Liu Cheng's dark look.Even though these are normal words, I hear them at this moment.Liu Cheng only felt harsh, obviously he was leaving, but he didn't even go home.This is not a daughter-in-law's way of doing things, so you don't need to think about it deeply.I also know that this is cold to him.Liu Cheng didn't speak again, Zhang Xiulan didn't ask questions like in the past, the two were silent like this, Zhang Xiulan didn't feel embarrassed to do the work in her hands, Liu Cheng didn't stand or walk, and stood there stunned.And the position where he was standing was next to the bed, which naturally hindered Zhang Xiulan from cutting clothes, and finally Zhang Xiulan was unconsciously driven to the side to stand, without even raising his head to look at him.When Zhang Xiulan finished cutting her clothes, it was already half an hour later, and after packing up her things, Zhang Xiulan raised her head to break the silence, "Are you going today or tomorrow?"
If I leave today, I won't be in a hurry to cook, and if I leave tomorrow, I'll cook now. ”"Let's go tomorrow."
Liu Cheng's tone was tinged with quality.Zhang Xiulan nodded, "Is this okay?"
Will it delay your work?
You also saw it, I'm fine, if there is something in your army, go back first. ”Where is this caring for yourself, and this is driving people away.Liu Cheng's temper also came up, "Okay, then I'll go back first." ”Dropping the words, he turned around angrily and walked out.waited for everyone to stride out of the house, Zhang Xiulan's eyes showed a cold color.Liu Cheng strode downstairs, and when he saw the mother and children in the living room, he remembered the purpose of coming back, paused, and did not go out, but went directly to the opposite of his mother and sat down.Teased the child.Liu's mother's eyes were fine, "I just saw you rushing downstairs, is there something urgent?"
”Liu Cheng didn't look up, "It's okay." ”Concise answer.Mother Liu snorted, "I thought you were going back to the group to do errands." ”Now when he heard it coming out of the mouth of his family in the group, especially at this moment, Liu Cheng only felt as if he was mocking what he had lied about last time."
Mom, last time I knew that I lied and you were upset, wasn't I afraid that you would misunderstand?"
Mother Liu interrupted him, "Misunderstanding?
You go to pick up your comrades, to be honest, why should we misunderstand?
You are buried like this, which shows that you are weak in your heart. ”Liu Cheng was speechless before explaining, "Because Li Meili and Xiulan had quarreled before, I was afraid that if I said it, I would pick her up, and Xiulan would think about it more." ”"Liu Cheng, I don't care how you explain it, you remember your identity, you are a soldier."
When Liu's mother talked about the soldiers, she was full of emotion in her heart, "Do you know how difficult it is to be a military wife?"
As a husband, you can't help your wife share the affairs of the family, and you think too much for your wife, which means that you are not a good husband and you are not good enough. ”"Mom, I know that this incident made Xiulan misunderstand, don't worry, I will explain it to her well."
Where would Liu Cheng not understand this."
I'm also old, first your sister's business, and now it's your business, I thought you should always be able to make me worry, Xiulan is sensible and capable, even the girls in the city can't find such a thing, you can do it yourself."
Mother Liu shook her head, stood up and walked to the staircase and shouted to it, "Xiulan, come down and cook." ”only heard an answer, and after a while, Zhang Xiulan stepped downstairs, "Mom, what do you want to eat at night?"
”As a result, as soon as he looked up, he swept to Liu Cheng, who was playing with the children in the living room, and withdrew his gaze lightly."
Isn't there meat in the fridge at home?
Just make some braised pork and make some rice, and it doesn't have to be too troublesome. ”was still angry with her son in her heart, and Liu's mother didn't cook a bunch of dishes for her son like she did in the past.Zhang Xiulan responded with a smile, and then entered the kitchen.In the evening, Liu's father and Liu Yu entered the house front and back, since they had grandchildren, Liu's father rarely did not go home, and when he saw his son come back, Liu's father was puzzled."
Leave again?"
Obviously, Liu's father was very dissatisfied with his son's constant leave.Liu's mother raised her eyebrows, and she also understood that her husband was standing up for her daughter-in-law, so she simply took her granddaughter to the kitchen, as for what the father and son said when they entered the study, no one knew, but when Liu Cheng came out, his face was not good-looking.During the meal, Liu Yu kept talking to Zhang Xiulan, and after he came back, he didn't pay attention to Liu Cheng, and Dong Biwu's attitude has always been normal.After a meal, Liu's mother and Liu's father took the children to the yard in a circle, and after Zhang Xiulan cleaned up the kitchen, she and Liu Yu went upstairs to see the clothes, and Dong Biwu and Liu Cheng sat in the living room and talked.Seeing the two of them go upstairs, Dong Biwu whispered, "It's the first time I've seen Xiulan angry, you have to coax well."
Besides, Xiulan is also very difficult, her mother's family doesn't care if she doesn't ask, she wants to fight for anything after she marries, she doesn't want people to look down on her, and she is more tired than other military wives.When I was in Beijing before, I didn't understand this, I only thought that my mother was sick, and I didn't care about your eldest sister's feelings, and now I regret it when I think about it. ”Speaking of this, Dong Biwu hesitated, "Actually, the people of the Li family came to apologize, you can ignore it, now my family and the Li family are in a very stiff fight, although this matter is not Li Meilan's fault, but in the end she also got involved." ”As a result, now because of a Li Meili, Liu Cheng and Xiulan are unhappy, Dong Biwu has always felt very guilty in his heart, so his wife asked him to inquire about Li Meili's transfer, and he never refused.Knowing that Liu Cheng was not good at talking, Dong Biwu continued, "Xiulan is going to school, you can't let her go with anger, it's a few months to go like this, won't the two of them become more and more angry?"
”Dong Biwu's Liu Cheng didn't understand, otherwise he wouldn't have hurried back, and was reprimanded by his father, and his father obviously didn't approve of him getting close to Li Meili, thinking that his father was also dissatisfied with the Li family because of the Dong family's affairs, but Liu Cheng felt that he thought about the affairs of the army first, so there was nothing wrong with this.The father and son also quarreled for the first time.Wait until more than eight o'clock in the evening, the family rested, Liu's mother wanted to take the children, but Zhang Xiulan refused, took the three children upstairs, saw Liu Cheng in the house, the children pounced, and Zhang Xiulan pounced on the bed, Liu Cheng was directly brought to the head of the bed, with three children in between, Zhang Xiulan slept at the end of the bed.Liu Cheng obviously didn't like it when he saw his wife arrange it like this, when he was in the army, the three children slept together, and the two of them slept next to each other.But after the children were asleep, Liu Cheng touched the darkness to the end of the bed, and squeezed into the bed, Zhang Xiulan naturally didn't sleep, and was angry with him, where would he come up, as soon as the person approached, he stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't wake up the children, go to sleep." ”This kind of thing was rejected, Liu Cheng's face was gloomy, but thinking that if he was not cheeky, the two could only keep fighting coldly, Liu Cheng didn't care about his wife's refusal on the bed, and pounced directly, "I know that the words of that day are heavy, you are angry, but I am also uncomfortable, I have not been happy for a day in these two months, and it can be regarded as a punishment, so don't be angry." ”Zhang Xiulan pushed him away angrily, "Liu Cheng, can you not do this?"
It's not that you say you're not angry and don't get angry, you're saying that you have children, what are you making a fuss about. ”Liu Cheng didn't care, he tore off his daughter-in-law's clothes yesterday, "Then I'll admit my mistake tomorrow, let's do business now." ”(To be continued)...
