It was already more than ten o'clock in the morning when Lin Tong got home, and she washed her hands and began to chop the stuffing and prepare to make dumplings.

Xu Nian hugged her thighs with an aggrieved face and didn't let go, "Mom, why didn't you come back yesterday?" Xiao Nian is so worried about you! ”

Lin Tong bowed his head apologetically and kissed his son's forehead, "I'm sorry, my mother didn't catch the car yesterday, and I won't be in the future, my mother misses Xiao Nian very much, and I'm very worried about Xiao Nian!" ”

Zhang Guilian said angrily: "You have to inquire clearly before you go in the future, fortunately, the aunt is kind, otherwise you have to go to the train station." ”

Lin Tong smiled: "Yes, fortunately, I didn't run this trip in vain." ”

She has already thought about finding someone to deliver in the future, and she doesn't want to stay outside because of the delivery.

The dumplings eaten at noon, Lin Tong didn't sleep well last night, after all, it was in someone else's house, Lin Tong still maintained the necessary vigilance, and now he just hugged the child to sleep.

Zhang Guilian looked at her and yawned, and said understandingly: "I'll come over later, you sleep for a while, let's settle things in the afternoon." ”

Lin Tong covered his mouth and nodded in agreement.

When she woke up, Zhang Guilian saw that the time was almost over, and just after entering the door and saying a few words, Wu Xuebin came.

"Lin Tong, are you back? I saw that you didn't go to my friend's house after I finished my errand yesterday, and went to town to look for you for a long time, and I was worried to death this night. The worry and concern in Wu Xuebin's words made Zhang Guilian frown when she heard it.

Lin Tong smiled: "Thank you for your concern, however, we don't know each other very well, and I don't know your friends, so why bother!" ”

Not very familiar with the sentence, Wu Xuebin's face changed, and he looked at her and stopped talking.

Lin Tong said lightly: "I still have something to do, you ...... If it's okay, wait for Zhenhua to come back and ask her to invite you to drink. ”

It's the same sentence again.

Wu Xuebin secretly hated in his heart, with an embarrassed look on his face, glanced at Zhang Guilian next to him, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, lowered his head and said with some frustration: "It's okay if you're fine...... Well, I'll go first. ”

When he walked to the door, he looked back at her with some nostalgia.

Lin Tong was writing down the things that should be paid attention to on the paper, and he didn't notice his gaze at all.

She also did it on purpose, and she didn't know how to provoke this man, obviously they were not familiar with each other.

She deliberately said that they didn't know each other very well, deliberately mentioned Xu Zhenhua again and again, deliberately opened her mouth to drive him away, and deliberately didn't send him off......

But she didn't know that Wu Xuebin's admiring and loving eyes were looked at by Zhang Guilian and remembered in her heart.

Wu Xuebin left, and Zhang Guilian asked tentatively: "You are quite familiar with Xiao Wu?" ”

After Lin Tong finished writing these articles, he raised his head and said lightly: "It's not familiar, he has sent a few pieces of furniture." Yesterday I was in the carriage, and it happened that he helped to tell Uncle Zhang from the blacksmith shop. ”

Lin Tong frowned after speaking, and said with some puzzlement: "I always feel that he is a little weird...... Forget it, don't talk about him, by the way, Sister Guilian, look, how to calculate the salary for Sister Yuzhi? ”

Zhang Guilian listened to her words, thinking that it was not only weird, but he was afraid that he might like you.

But Lin Tong doesn't seem to understand, so it's better for her not to pick on it.

Lin Tong didn't understand, she didn't understand, she didn't do anything excessive, and she didn't give him a hint, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person?

It wasn't until later that Lin Tong knew that he was doing all this for a purpose.

However, Lin Tong didn't know it now, she just felt strange and subconsciously distanced herself from him.

Wu Xuebin is a smart person who knows how to get the attention of others and guide things in his favor.

In the days that followed, people in the nearby family often found that Wu Xuebin was standing in the distance, staring at Lin Tong's home, looking like he was lost in his soul.

Soon, except for Lin Tong, there was such a rumor among all the family members: the lover of the new deputy battalion commander Xu was unwilling to be lonely, and took advantage of the man's absence to have unspeakable things with a strong man in the town.

Zhang Guilian was a little irritable these days, she didn't want to doubt Lin Tong, but Wu Xuebin's performance that day and what happened after that made her heart beat the drum.

On this day, together with Zhang Yuzhi, after the three of them finished making mung bean cake, Zhang Guilian couldn't help it, and hinted at her euphemistically: "It's not easy for us to be military wives, we used to guard the empty room at home, but now we are with the army, who knows that we still can't see each other a few times a year......"

Lin Tong didn't know that people were ordering her, and thought she was feeling.

She wanted to make Sister Guilian happy, don't think about such a heavy question, so she pretended to laugh at her, "Sister Guilian, you miss your man!" ”

Zhang Guilian: "......"

Yes, she said it for nothing.

Zhang Yuzhi smiled beside him: "Sister Guilian is afraid that you will think of a man, we are all old husbands and wives." ”

Zhang Guilian: "......"

I mean that, but can you not be so direct and tactful?

I don't usually see such a smart person, but today I can understand what she means, Zhang Guilian glanced at her more, and Zhang Yuzhi said proudly: "Xiaolin, you don't know, those people outside are full and start talking about ......you again."

Zhang Guilian was startled, and coughed busily, "Yuzhi, what are you talking nonsense?" He glared at her.

Lin Tong's hand that was packing the box paused, and asked in surprise: "Who said I miss a man?" ”

Zhang Yuzhi slipped away, "That's right, those people are talking nonsense." ”

I heard Lin Tong sigh, "I think of Xu Zhenhua, you said that I only looked at him a few times when I came, he has been gone for a few months, alas, I don't know when I will come back." Sister Guilian, they used to be like this, a few months at a time? ”

said that she missed a man directly, Zhang Yuzhi felt that she blushed a little for Lin Tong.

Zhang Guilian breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her like this, that Wu Xuebin can't have any chance.

She has to watch it closely, she can't let people ruin the military marriage, she likes Lin Tong very much, and she can't let her make mistakes.

Lin Tong really didn't know the rumors outside, she had experienced it before, she didn't care what outsiders thought of her, and she didn't care when she heard Zhang Yuzhi's words.

Anyway, whatever she does, there are people who are blind behind her back**, and she likes to say whatever she wants!

Because of her mentality, she didn't know that until something happened, it had spread outside: a story about her and someone that had to be told.

Lin Tong's life is very nourishing now.

She has a manuscript published almost every month, and a few days ago she received a letter saying that she wrote the long story of more than 100,000 words, and the publishing house decided to publish it, and gave a manuscript fee of 15 yuan for 1,000 words, which was a lot of money at that time.

That's it, it still depends on her publishing many short stories and many children's stories, otherwise, a thousand words and ten yuan are too much.

With this money, Lin Tong doesn't pay much attention to the hard-earned money of making dim sum.

She has long wanted to hire people to free herself, but Zhang Guilian disagrees, and now she hires Zhang Yuzhi to help, and she will deliver the goods, the cost is not small, and the more people are hired, the less money she makes!

Zhang Yuzhi went to deliver the goods, Lin Tong discussed with Zhang Guilian, "Sister Guilian, business is doing well now, I earned hundreds of dollars a month in May, I think we shouldn't work so hard, hire two more people!" Or if I hire someone and get paid for it? ”

"You, it's hard to get anywhere. Think at the beginning, when I was farming in my hometown, wasn't the work much more tiring than this? Zhang Guilian tasted the taste of making money, but she didn't want to give more of her money to others.

didn't talk about it again, Lin Tong scratched his head helplessly.

At the beginning of July, the news that Lin Tong and a few people were doing business still spread out.

The cause of the incident was that Zhang Yuzhi bought meat and cloth to make new clothes for himself and his children.

If there is something good, tease her, "Your man is not at home, do you have the money to buy meat and cloth?" I'm not afraid that your man will come back and scold you. ”

Zhang Yuzhi also earned dozens of yuan this month, and people said that the family had surplus food, so he didn't panic.

Zhang Yuzhi is now this mentality.

She earned her own money, even more than her man, so she got a little carried away and forgot what Lin Tong asked her to keep secret.

"This is my own money, I buy some meat for the child to eat, what can he say!"

didn't dare to be too embarrassed, for fear that the man would reach his ears after he came back and he would be beaten.

"How much money do you earn?" Who believes her words, the disdainful gaze made her brain hot, and she opened her mouth to say something that leaked, "Of course, Lin Tong and Sister Gui Lian partnered in business and hired me to make dim sum, and I earned dozens of dollars this month!" ”

After speaking, she realized that she had leaked her mouth.

"Oh, look at my mouth, Xiao Lin told me to keep it secret, hey I said, you can't go out and talk about it, otherwise she knows, and she will definitely blame me for not being strict. I made a promise. ”

Zhang Yuzhi regretted it, she didn't have a door to open her mouth, Lin Tong used her because she took care of her, and she helped her so much, but she leaked it to others, she was embarrassed!

"I'm sure I won't say it, tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that Zhang Yuzhi was squirming diligently, the people who came were unhappy, "Hey, what is the relationship between the two of us, you are hiding such a thing, it's really not interesting!" ”

Zhang Yuzhi hesitated.

When she was in difficulty, she borrowed money from her housekeeper, although it was only three or five yuan, but they lent it to her without saying anything.

"It's not that I don't say it, it's that Kobayashi specifically told me......"

"Oh, if I don't go out and talk about it, you just tell me alone."

Zhang Yuzhi thought for a while, "You must not go out to talk about it, if it spreads, you will put me in it." ”

"I know, I know, you can say it quickly, why are you learning so hard now."

Zhang Yuzhi said: "It's not a big deal, it's just, Xiaolin and Sister Guilian ......."

People are like that, thinking that you know anyway, it's nothing to say more, right? And, I'll tell you just one.

Then she told just one.

Under the questioning of the visitor, Zhang Yuzhi poured beans into the bamboo tube, except for how much money Lin Tong and the others earned, they basically said everything.

This caused an uproar.

Why?

First, because Lin Tong and Zhang Guilian are so capable, Zhang Yuzhi can earn dozens of dollars as a helper, so they must earn more, but they are capitalists in the past, and they will be criticized.

The second is anger.

Lin Tong, you actually make your own money in the name of a military workshop, this behavior is simply too bad!
