Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 44 You can't mess with them, you absolutely can't mess with them.

Sheng Zexi, who exchanged a glance with Gu Jianing, also understood what was going on and joined in her charade, saying, "If my status as a soldier means my wife has to give away even a bowl of braised pork, am I still a man? When we get to the station and the military region, I'll ask my superiors if soldiers and their wives have to give away everything and not eat anything. If that's the case, who would want to be a soldier? It's heartbreaking to think about. Soldiers fight bloody battles on the front lines to protect the people and civilians. So many soldiers have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, but here, the people I'm protecting are bullying me and humiliating my wife."

Sheng Zexi was quick-witted, and his words startled the woman.

Regardless of the era, ordinary people have always respected soldiers. They protect the country and its people, which is why we enjoy our peaceful lives today.

They are the most respectable and the most lovable people in the world.

They are fighting bloody battles on the front lines, and when they encounter military families, they should be taking extra care of them, not robbing her things!

Those around her, seeing Gu Jianing's pitiful appearance with red eyes, already felt pity. They also knew that this woman was shameless; in this day and age, could one simply ask for meat? Now, they thought of something even deeper.

As a result, condemnatory gazes fell upon them, and the words spoken were merciless.

"Our soldiers are fighting on the front lines to protect us. What's wrong with them eating a bowl of braised pork?"

"How can you be so shameless? If you want to eat, why don't you buy it yourself? If you don't have money, don't eat it."

"This child needs to be disciplined. He's so young and already knows how to cry and beg for other people's meat. What will he be like when he grows up?"

"Apologize, apologize, you must apologize!"

The woman was forced to back away after being confronted, and the little boy was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Hearing Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi's conversation, the man who had been sitting there as steady as a mountain, the woman's husband, finally couldn't sit still any longer.

What kind of talk is this?

Regardless of the soldier's rank, if what he just said gets out, they'll become famous.

If being a soldier means sacrificing everything like this, then who would want to be one?

Moreover, soldiers are charging ahead to protect their country, but their wives are so reluctant to give away even a piece of meat they bought themselves. Wouldn't that make the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles feel disheartened?
They might even be labeled as reactionary and end up in jail.

So the man stepped forward and slapped the woman across the face.

"You're spouting nonsense! Apologize to the soldier and his wife right now!"

The woman hurriedly apologized to Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, she just suddenly became confused and started talking nonsense. I will definitely teach her a lesson." After saying that, the man pulled the little boy inside. "If you're hungry, eat steamed buns. If you don't want to eat, then you're hungry."

Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi exchanged a glance. In fact, they could both tell that the man was the most despicable.

When the little boy and woman were being aggressive, this person remained completely calm and didn't show any reaction.

It was at this moment, seeing that public opinion was turning in favor of Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi, that they stood up to stop it, fearing that things would get too out of hand.

Moreover, they actually used physical violence and verbal abuse. To be honest, Gu Jianing finds this kind of person particularly despicable.

She immediately stopped giving them a second glance; they were social scum, not worth a second look.

Those around her were surprised that Gu Jianing, a pretty and delicate-looking young girl, was actually so capable.

In an instant, those who had harbored some ulterior motives towards the woman immediately abandoned their thoughts, not to mention that she had a military husband.

They are not to be trifled with, absolutely not to be trifled with.

Sheng Zexi, who had just sat down, exchanged a glance with Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing slightly raised her chin, revealing a slightly proud look in her eyes. Sheng Zexi looked at his little wife's bright eyes, hoping for praise, smiled, patted her head, and said, "That's how it should be. In the future, if anyone bullies you, you should bully them back. Don't worry about anything. I'll always be there to protect you."

Gu Jianing gave a heavy "Mmm". "Come on, let's continue eating."

"it is good."

You still have to eat, you can't let indifferent people affect your mood.

Shen Huaiyuan and Bai Juan, who had just returned from their trip, only heard about this matter when they came back. They lamented that they hadn't been there earlier, otherwise they could have said a few words for Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi.

Gu Jianing doesn't actually have a big appetite. Although she ate a little from both meals, she still couldn't finish them.

So the rest were all taken by Sheng Zexi.

A man in his prime, and a soldier who trains a lot, must have a big appetite.

After dinner, Gu Jianing felt a little sleepy.

"Go to the toilet first, then go to the top bunk to sleep," Sheng Zexi suggested.

"it is good."

The two left Shen Huaiyuan and Bai Juan to watch their luggage and headed towards the restroom.

However, when Gu Jianing was led to the restroom, her delicate and pretty face scrunched up, and she instinctively covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

It stinks, it stinks so badly, and it's so filthy inside.

Gu Jianing, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, was about to turn around when Sheng Zexi pressed her shoulder down.

"Ningning, if you need to go, then go. It's actually okay now, but in another day or two, it might be..."

"Moreover, this train journey will take three days and two nights."

Yes, it will take three days and two nights; today is only the first day.

Gu Jianing was about to cry her eyes out.

Knowing that Sheng Zexi was doing it for her own good, she pulled her scarf up a little higher to cover her mouth and nose, and gritted her teeth as she went inside.

Sheng Zexi stood guard outside, his eyes filled with heartache.

He knew that Ningning was extremely clean, but now, by following him, she was going to have to suffer all this.

Sheng Zexi felt very upset.

Fortunately, he remembered the house he had applied for while filing his marriage application.

He was very fortunate that when his superiors asked him what kind of house he wanted, he didn't ask for a tenement building, but for a bungalow with a yard, which not only had a well, but also a toilet and a bathroom, and they were separate.

Otherwise, if they lived in a tenement building, sharing the toilet, bathroom, and even the kitchen with other people, he felt his young wife definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.

Actually, the house he wanted was excellent; many people wanted it at the time, and Sheng Zexi only managed to get it through hard work and perseverance.

At the time, his supervisor even asked him if it was worth it.
Sheng Zexi thought: It's worth it, definitely worth it!
Now that he's married, he should use his military achievements either for promotion or to protect his wife; that would be the most worthwhile thing for him.

Just then, the bathroom door opened, interrupting Sheng Zexi's thoughts.

Sheng Zexi helped his pale-faced wife walk back.

Back in her seat, Gu Jianing's face was all scrunched up, and she said to Sheng Zexi with a wronged expression, "When we get to our destination, you have to boil water for me to take a bath as soon as possible."
