Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 13.1

When Lin Shiheng came back, He Xiaobao; whose body was covered with medicinal wine, stood by the pot expectantly and looked at the dumplings with his neck stretched and his face full of yearning.

He coughed and called out, Xiaobao.

He Xiaobao immediately reacted, he stood up straight, and in a standard military posture appeared in front of Lin Shiheng.

Yes, it seems that Deputy Zhang has a good command of recruits. Its only a few days, and you look like a decent one.

How could he not be decent?

He Xiaobaos face is bitter. If he doesnt stand well; while others go to rest, he must continue to stand. Otherwise, he has to run around. Even if his legs feel soft, he has to run. He is tired half to death, he could hardly finish running. If he does stand well, while people go back to their dormitory to eat, he has to go back to their dormitory, and stand there with sore legs and cook!

Worst of all, when he returns to his dormitory, he couldnt live in peace. It was so good at home, he only has to put his hand out or open his mouth to eat. Do whatever he wanted to do Now he lives with a group of soldiers. His clothes must be clean, even his quilt must be folded into neat tofu pieces.

(tofu pieces = clean neat square white fluffy. ? )

The most outrageous thing is that he doesnt like to wash his feet which smells like his old bedding. But the people in the dormitory insisted that he washed his feet and wiped his body, they even forced him to use soap.

(TNnote: eeewwww.. thats nasty!)

Thinking of these hardships, He Xiaobao didnt dare to complain about the ferocious Deputy Zhang and his roommates to Lin Shiheng.

He thought his brother-in-law would help stop those wonderful roommates who forced him to take a bath and wash his feet. But, he didnt expect Lin Shiheng to nod and smile after listening, with a feeling of relief he said: You seem to get along well with them.

He Xiaobao choked on the blood in his heart, and his face looked oppressed.

After a long time, he asked, When can I go home, brother-in-law?

Lin Shiheng laughed and patted him on the shoulder: When you become like brother-in-law, you can go home.

He Xiaobao looked down at his soft squishy arms and then at his slender brother-in-law standing in front of him in a neat military uniform.

Hes not going to be able to do that all his life.

Suddenly, he sees He Xuezhu coming back from buying vinegar outside. He immediately moved toward her with a face full of grievance. Even if he had eight galls, He Xiaobao still didnt dare to tell on Lin Shiheng, he can only scurry around like a little monkey towards her. He didnt look up in the process, too scared to look at his brother-in-law.

Sister, are you going to cut garlic? Shall I cut it for you? Ill get this.

He Xuezhu smiled at her brothers helpfulness. Her eyes were full of happiness.

Lin Shiheng grabbed her shoulder and said warmly, Lets go to the hospital together after dinner.

Whats the matter? He Xuezhus expression immediately became nervous. Whats wrong with you?

No, its one of my soldiers who got his hand injured when he was clearing mines and stayed in the hospital for a few days. A couple of days ago, I went back home and was busy. I didnt get to visit him. He doesnt have a wife. I think he has been eating and drinking hospital food. Ill pack him a box of dumplings and let him see you; his sister-in-law, for once.

(TLnote: soldiers consider themselves as brothers, and its natural to call a co-workers wife as sister-in-law.)

When he mentioned this, He Xuezhus face turned red, and she patted her husbands hand on her shoulder: Dont always praise me to them. Im very embarrassed.

Whats embarrassing about it?

Lin Shiheng indulged and pinched his wifes tender face with a smile: My familys Xuezhu is really excellent, they are all just begging for the medicated wine you made.

By the way, how about the medical book I gave you? If you dont understand it, how about taking it to the hospital and asking the doctor to help you with your research?

He Xuezhu shook her head, with bright eyes she said. I can understand it, Shiheng. This book is too amazing. Qiu-jie, from next door, twisted her foot this morning. I tried a method according to the book. It was really affective.

That powerful? Lin Shihengs face also showed a little surprise: When I went to buy you clothes, I saw it at the bookstall. Thinking you would like it, I bought it. If its that good, next time we go out to shop together we can buy more. I remember there are a few more books there.

Lets go. Not to buy books. But lets choose nice clothes. I also stayed in the hospital for a few days, and the doctors and Nurses there took good care of me. We should greet them together later.

He Xiaobao felt bitter while cutting garlic. He watched his sister being taken away by his brother-in-law to choose clothes. He cut garlic while his mind was busy thinking.

His brother-in-law said that he had to become a man like him.

What about buying books and clothes for your wife?

When He Xuezhu arrived at the hospital wearing her new clothes with her husband, Zhou Qianqian looked like she had taken a hit for some reason.

At that time, when she stopped He Xiaobao, many people saw it. Although Zhou Qianqians words were inaudible to others because of the volume of her speech, but He Xiaobao fell to the ground like a big prone horse and the cry of injustice while getting up was clearly heard.

Then He Xiaobao ran away while wiping away tears, leaving Zhou Qianqian alone with so many strange stares. Then she stomped her feet angrily and went back to her and her husbands house.

Zhou Qianqian left, but the gossip did not stop. Especially the last two days, people saw how she targeted Lin Shihengs wife a few times.

When it happened, they were all sitting nearby knitting.

Watching Zhou Qianqian go, several people looked at each other and said, Isnt that Xuezhus brother?

No, she used to say bad things about Commander Lin, how can she still bully his brother?

Its not necessarily bullying. Maybe theres some misunderstanding between them. After all, theyre young.

Upon hearing this, one of the military wives disagreed and said, Could there be a misunderstanding? Didnt you see that the child fell to the ground? What I saw was Zhou Qianqian going up and stopping someone from saying something. She refused to let him go, and he cried after falling. The kid didnt seem to be picking on her or anything.

Yes, I met that kid yesterday. A very good kid, Deputy Zhang, asked him to do whatever he wanted. The kid didnt dare say a word. Commander Lin is too decent, so no one took care of it. I guess, this kid was bullied by Deputy Zhang and didnt tell Commander Lin. Otherwise, Commander Lin would surely come out.

Speaking of this, several other military wives all looked somewhat disgusted.

Zhang Yanming has always been prideful and has been spoiled by his family since he was a child. He feels that he is aboveboard and straightforward, and doesnt need to cover up anything. So, he doesnt even bother looking for a reason to bully Xiaobao.

But the more he bullies, the more people wonder why he is targeting a new recruit like this. Gradually, even people who did not know about this before; all knew Deputy Zhang is targeting Commander Lins brother-in-law because his new wife liked Commander Lin once before.

Then, it leads to how Deputy Zhangs newly-married wifes various statements in the past, regardless of Commander Lin having a family. In the end, when Commander Lin was unconscious for four days, she resolutely chose Deputy Zhang.

They had never heard of such a woman! Before all of this, people also said that maybe Deputy Zhangs brain was filled with water. But from seeing how things are these days, him harassing innocent recruits because of personal animosity, turns out that they were a perfect match.

I dont know what Deputy Zhang is thinking. Everyone sees what hes doing. People are not deaf or blind. If he goes on like this, hell be punished sooner or later.

Dont you think the people who got to know the Nurse named Miao Xing from the hospital, are acting weird? Before, Deputy Zhang was a little difficult to get along with, but it wasnt as difficult as it is now. Besides that, Zhou Qianqian; who was a normal little wife, now always talks bad about Commander Lin. Not to mention that there isnt any problem with the Commander. Even if there is a problem, if she doesnt give Commander Lin some face, its like wanting to kill her own man.

Yes, it seems that is the case.

I heard that Deputy Zhang had already applied for a marriage certificate. Its looks like, in time, that Miao Xing will live in our yard. In case we get involved with her

Although now everyone says that its just feudal superstition, but in the end the age-old tradition has not passed. They still more or less believe some of it. At this moment, whether they believe it or not, they were determined to stay away from Miao Xing.

Miao Xing did not know that, even when she had not come yet. Zhou Qianqian had brought trouble from a group of people. It was break time, but she was being criticized by the Head Nurse.
