Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

Meng Xiaoman deliberately ignored him and asked Zhang Changchi, "Tell me, why?"

"Handsomeness is one aspect, and stability is another. Later I found out that just because he doesn't like to talk or joke, his sisters-in-law think he is stable and reliable. But someone like me who is cheerful and talkative is said to be unreliable. Spectrum. Tell me, am I wronged?"

"I'm sorry for you, you big-headed devil. By the way, Uncle Zhou Qiang asked you when you would come back that day. From what he meant, he might want to introduce you to someone, right, Grandpa Zhang?" Xiao Xiangdong said, changing the subject.

Zhang Quanliang nodded, "He revealed this to me. I told him that I will wait for you to come back and see what your opinion is. Do you want to meet? To be honest, it's time for you to consider life-long matters."

Zhang Changchi shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, I don't want a partner. As long as you and Changming are healthy, I'll be satisfied." "What are you talking about? At your age, how can you not get married. Changming has As for me, just live your own life."

Zhang Changming also said: "Yes, brother, I am in much better health now and can work again."

"Let's wait and see when you can carry a sack of grain." Zhang Changchi silenced his younger brother with one sentence, "Okay, okay, I have my own ideas about the target, so don't worry about it."

After eating, Zhang Changchi packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen without waiting for Meng Xiaoman to make a move, and Zhang Changming also helped.

"Let the guests clean up, okay?" Meng Xiaoman looked at Xiao Xiangdong.

"It's okay, let him take care of it."

After cleaning up, Meng Xiaoman asked Xiao Xiangdong to fish out the watermelon from the well and cut the watermelon to eat.

Zhang Changchi, like Xiao Xiangdong before, eats very quickly. This is a habit of soldiers. After Zhang Changchi ate a piece of watermelon, he repeatedly praised: "Your watermelon is so sweet, crispy and sweet. It is the first time I have eaten it so delicious." of watermelon.”

Zhang Quanliang also said: "The vegetables grown by Xiao Meng are also very good, and they often deliver them to our family. By the way, last time the food at home was burned, she sent us all the millet, cornmeal, and some other cereals we eat."

"Actually, there aren't many things. You should deal with emergencies first."

After eating, Xiao Xiangdong and Zhang Changchi went to the breeding area to help build a house. Seeing that Zhang Changchi had something to say to him, Xiao Xiangdong deliberately walked slower.

The two found a shady place and stood talking.

"What's wrong? What's going on? You can't say anything? Also, your arm looks a little weird. How did you do it?"

Although Zhang Changchi behaved normally when working, Xiao Xiangdong's observation ability and understanding of him had already seen him. I was just afraid that Grandpa Zhang and Zhang Changming would be worried, so I didn't ask him face to face.

"You asked so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer first?" Zhang Changming lost his cheerful look, and his expression was calm but bitter.

He took out a pack of economy cigarettes from his trouser pocket, opened it, took out one, handed it to Xiao Xiangdong, stretched it halfway, paused, took it back, and held it in his mouth, "I almost forgot, you don't smoke.", Then he took out a box of matches, lit the cigarette, and took two puffs.

Economy cigarettes are the cheapest type of cigarettes. You can buy a pack for only eight cents and a cigarette ticket.

In this slightly choking smoke, Xiao Xiangdong looked at his friend and former comrade-in-arms, feeling a little strange.

"Actually, you learned how to smoke when you were injured. In order to save me, you lost your legs and had to be discharged from the army. I really blame myself and feel guilty. When I can't sleep at night, I often think, Why was it not me who was injured? If I had died, would I feel better? You took me to join the army, but I made you leave the army. You are so good and have a bright future, but you have to go back to your hometown and become a useless person. Then For a while, when I closed my eyes, I saw the comrades who died that time, and you, covered in blood. When I woke up, I felt very depressed. I heard that smoking can make people relax, so I bought it and tried it. .”

As he spoke, he put out the cigarette that he had only taken a few puffs on, but did not throw away the cigarette butt. He just held it in his hand and played with it. "However, it's of no use. I just light one when I'm upset to make the surroundings less deserted."

Xiao Xiangdong looked at him, calmly and honestly, "I have never blamed you, and I have never regretted it. I also told Grandpa Zhang that even if it were not you but other comrades, I would still make the same choice. So, you don't need to feel guilty. and self-blame.”

Zhang Changchi smiled bitterly, stared at him and said, "You know, just because you are so frank and sincere, I feel even more guilty. By the way, why are you so good?" Zhang Changchi hammered his arm, and it turned out that he was involved. Reached his injured arm.

"What's past is past. Besides, if it hadn't been for that disaster, I might not be as blessed as I am today. I'm a blessing in disguise. From this point of view, I still have to thank you?"

"You mean sister-in-law?"

Xiao Xiangdong nodded, with a gentle smile on his face.

Zhang Changchi had never seen such a gentle smile on his face. His expression at this moment was like seeing a ghost, "Brother Dongzi, you have changed a lot since you got married. Why do you smile so horribly now? It's better to teach him a lesson." I’ll have a meal.”

"You'll know when you have a lover." Xiao Xiangdong glanced at him with disgust.

Zhang Changchi threw the cigarette butt in his hand far away. "Forget it, women are too troublesome. My brain can't understand it."

"By the way, how did you get this arm?"

Zhang Changchi touched his arm, his eyes full of resentment, "The secret was leaked during the last mission. Not only was the mission not completed, but the team also suffered heavy losses. Several comrades did not come back, and some were injured. I'm okay with that. It’s a light one, and I’ve been raising it for more than half a month. The superiors thought there was a mole, and I only let him come back to visit my relatives after going through all the checks and confirming that there was no problem.”

"Haven't found out yet?"

Zhang Changchi shook his head, "No, Brother Dongzi, this time I come back, I actually have another task, which is you."

Xiao Xiangdong looked confused. "Me? What's the matter?"

"Yeah, it's you." Zhang Changchi nodded and continued: "There should be more than one insider this time. There is a suspect above, and they are preparing to lure the snake out of the hole. Those in the camp must cooperate with this operation. And now there is another one Important tasks need to be carried out, no mistakes can be made, safety needs to be ensured, and there is an urgent need for an absolutely reliable person to carry out the tasks. This kind of person cannot be selected from within the military camp, but can only be selected from outside."
