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

Meng Xiaoman ran to the military camp before he could clean up his house. When I met Meng Changqing halfway, I learned that Xiao Xiangdong had been suspended for investigation.

The tranquility of life made her forget that these were special times, and words and deeds could easily be magnified and put on the line.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't mentioned it, Xiangdong wouldn't have written that report."

"Brother and sister, don't think like that. Battalion Commander Xiao will definitely be fine. You'd better help him pack his things first. He will live in the military camp during this period."

News spread quickly in the military area, especially about this kind of thing. As Meng Xiaoman walked on the road, he felt the strange eyes of the people around him, including fear, sympathy, and prying eyes.

Meng Xiaoman quickly packed a set of bedding, two changes of clothes, and toiletries, packed them and handed them to Meng Changqing.

"Commissar Meng, can I go see Xiangdong?"

"No, you are not allowed to have contact with outsiders during the investigation."

"Then can I bring him food?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Then what's the difference between this and going to jail?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Meng Changqing warned, "Someone should talk to you in the next two days. Tell Xiangdong that you don't know anything. Remember what he said."

After Meng Changqing left, Meng Xiaoman slumped on the bed, looking at the mess in the house, with clothes and things thrown everywhere, and a sense of helplessness came to her heart.

"I'm just undergoing investigation, and everything will be fine soon." Meng Xiaoman comforted herself.

"I should have given him the disaster-avoiding talisman in the space."

Of the several talismans in the space gift package, only this last disaster-avoiding talisman was used.

"Xiaoman, are you okay?"

"Why are you here?"

It's Gu Mengjie and Zheng Xiumei.

"Old Meng told me."

"I'm here to see you." Zheng Xiumei said, "Don't worry, Battalion Commander Xiao must have been wronged and will be back in a few days."

"Yes. How could these bastards turn a good thing into such a mess!"

With that said, Gu Mengjie and Zheng Xiumei helped clean up.

"It's almost done. I'll do the rest myself. You guys should go back quickly." The bugle of the lower camp was sounded.

"Then you go to bed early and I'll be with you tomorrow." Gu Mengjie hugged her before going back with Zheng Xiumei.

As soon as the two left, Zhang Changchi came again, with sweat on his forehead and dirt on his clothes. It looked like he had just left camp and hadn't even had time to change his clothes. "What happened to Brother Dongzi?"

Before Meng Xiaoman could speak, there was another sound of footsteps. It was deputy battalion Zhang Bo, guard Xiao Peng and Xiao Xiangdong, three company commanders from the battalion.

Seeing the concern and worry in their eyes, Meng Xiaoman was moved.

"It's nothing. Just do what you should do. Train well and don't worry blindly."

"Sister-in-law!" Zhang Changchi said anxiously, turning around to leave, "I'll go to the regiment leader and ask why Brother Dongzi was suspended from his position!"

"Changchi!" Meng Xiaoman stopped him, "If this could solve the problem, I would have gone a long time ago!"

"Then are we just going to watch Brother Dongzi being unjustly accused?"

"Xiao Xiangdong is only under investigation and has not been convicted. If you rush to defend him like this, it will only be counterproductive."

"What should I do?"

"Wait. You are Xiang Dong's brother, you are Xiang Dong's comrades-in-arms. As people he trusts, you should trust him. Do your own thing as if he is still here. This is the greatest help to him."

In the next few days, Gu Mengjie and Zheng Xiumei came to stay with her every now and then.

"I'm not a child anymore. You don't have to come with me every day. Please, please, let me do the purification alone."

"Oh, if we look at it together, you can see that you are wrong." Zheng Xiumei said with a smile, "But I see that you can tell jokes, so you should be fine."

"It's nothing, you're just too nervous."

After sending the two people away, Meng Xiaoman took a pole and bucket to the private plot to water the vegetables.

When something happened to Xiao Xiangdong, Meng Xiaoman could clearly feel the change in the attitude of the people in the family area. Because Meng Xiaoman could make clothes and see doctors, these military family members usually treated her very enthusiastically. It's much cooler now.

But Meng Xiaoman also understands that in this special era, even husband and wife, brothers, father and son cannot have 100% trust, let alone such neighbors.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. Over here."

Meng Xiaoman put down her pick, looked around, and saw someone in a lotus root bush. It was Qi Xiaoyun.

"Why are you hiding here?"

"I'm afraid of being seen by the red armband. I heard that something happened to the man Xie, is he okay?" Qi Xiaoyun whispered.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern."

"Don't thank me, thank you. That's all. As long as Xie is fine, I just wanted to ask." After Qi Xiaoyun finished speaking, he quickly waved his hand, "Then let's go quickly. I won't leave until Xie leaves. It will be bad if someone sees you."

Qi Xiaoyun was not the only one who cared about Meng Xiaoman. Meng Xiaoman had found something at her door for two days in a row. Yesterday it was two handfuls of Chinese cabbage, today it is half a basket of mussels.

They are all there as soon as they open the door in the morning. They only have stuff, and I don’t know who put them there.

"You are usually so kind to everyone, and it's not normal for someone to care about your kindness." Zheng Xiumei said, "It's just that people don't dare to interact with you openly, so they can only do it secretly."

"Then you're not afraid of being implicated by us?" After Xiao Xiangdong's accident, Zheng Xiumei came more diligently than usual.

"Me? What am I afraid of? I haven't done anything bad, and I haven't seen you do anything bad. If anyone dares to slander me with empty words, I will call him an ancestor of eight generations!"

In addition to Zheng Xiumei and Gu Mengjie who often come here, Shi Cuimei also comes once, and Zhang Changchi and the others come here every two days to collect firewood, chop firewood, carry water, and leave after finishing their work. The firewood at home is more abundant than when Xiao Xiangdong was at home.

Even Qi Yanli, who didn't deal with her neighbor before, leaned on the wall and talked to her: "Chief Xiao doesn't look like a bad person."

Xiao Xiangdong could not write letters, and Meng Xiaoman could not visit him. The two could only exchange a few words occasionally through Meng Changqing.

Meng Xiaoman thought the investigation would be over soon, but she didn't expect that until mid-December, there was still no conclusion.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Meng Xiaoman bought wool, knitted a sweater for Xiao Xiangdong, and asked Meng Changqing to bring it to Xiao Xiangdong. Unexpectedly, he said: "You can go and see him by yourself."

"Really? I can go, then can I make some food and take it over?"

"Okay, he should be able to come out soon."

Meng Xiaoman went to the market and bought an old hen. Half of it was used to stew soup, and the other half was used to make chicken and fried mushrooms. She also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to cut a pound of pork belly and make braised pork. She was afraid that the meat would be too greasy. I also fried green bamboo shoots, fungus, celery, and stewed white rice.

When Meng Xiaoman was carrying a basket to deliver food, the guard who was leading her smelled the aroma and swallowed greedily.

Especially when I saw her laying out all the dishes, my eyes widened.
