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

Meng Xiaoman shook her head, "I'm not going. I'll take a day off. I want to spend more time with my daughter. You can go and play."

Li Siqi was a little disappointed, "Okay, tell me why you got married young. Otherwise, it would be fun if we went together to have fun."

In the blink of an eye, Saturday came. Li Siqi was originally excited and wanted to have a big time, but after trying on the clothes, he felt a little depressed. During this period of time, she had been studying hard and lost several pounds. Her already loose clothes became even bigger and looked bloated. The thought of meeting new friends and taking photos tomorrow made her unhappy.

"Hey, Xiaoman, do you know where I can change my clothes near the school?"

"Change clothes?"

"Yeah, my clothes are too baggy and they don't look good on me." She asked her second brother to bring some handsome male classmates over, but she ended up wearing such ugly clothes, how could she look so attractive?

"What kind of clothes do you want to change? I can try it." Meng Xiaoman didn't say too much before seeing the clothes.

Li Siqi's eyes lit up, "Really? You know how to make clothes? I'll show it to you when I go back to the dormitory at noon."

What she wanted to change was a blue woolen jacket. The areas on both sides of the waist were too fat and the waist was not visible. It looked very bloated when worn.

"I can change it." When I came to Haishi from Yushan, a sewing machine was also mailed to me.

"That's great!" Li Siqi looked excited, "No wonder your clothes look so good and fit so well. It turns out you can make clothes."

"Yeah, I worked in a garment factory before going to the countryside."

Meng Xiaoman told Li Siqi her address and asked her to pick it up early tomorrow morning.

Mrs. Wu's house was not rented out, and most of it was empty except for the few rooms they lived in. Meng Xiaoman tidied up one room and used it to store sewing machines and make clothes.

Meng Xiaoman took apart the threads on the waist side of the top, trimmed away the excess fabric, and then used a sewing machine to sew the threads. In addition to her waist, Meng Xiaoman also closed her sleeves, making her look more harmonious.

Looking at her flexible tailoring, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but praise, "Comrade Meng, it's a shame that you don't become a tailor!"

You must know that Haishi people pay special attention to dressing up. No matter how poor they are, they still have to dress decently when going out. A discerning young man who cannot iron his trousers still needs to fold them and press them under the pillow to flatten them. Many girls even find someone to alter their waists after buying clothes, or add some of their own ingenuity to the clothes to make them more in line with their body shapes and make them look special.

Aunt Zhou's words gave Meng Xiaoman an inspiration. Why didn't she open a tailor shop? Although the market has not yet been liberalized, it has been loosened a lot. There are more and more small vendors from the countryside coming to the city to sell vegetables. It is not illegal for her to open a tailor shop.

The more Meng Xiaoman thought about it, the more feasible it became. Although there are a lot of gold and silver treasures in the space, they cannot be liquidated now, so they still need to accumulate funds honestly first.

Moreover, after living here for a period of time, Meng Xiaoman feels that living in a bungalow is very comfortable. It has the convenience of a big city, the tranquility of the countryside, and can grow vegetables and flowers. She wants to buy one. You must know that the highest return on investment in the future is house and land.

It's just that the house can't be traded now, and she doesn't have enough money. If you spread your tailoring business, you can save money while waiting for the housing market to open up.

After making up his mind, Meng Xiaoman wrote a letter telling Xiao Xiangdong about the idea.

At this time, Xiao Xiangdong was sitting in the brigade commander's office, and beside him were political commissar Wei Heping and regimental leader Zhang Dechang.

Brigadier Xue Zhengqiang sat behind his desk, holding his application with a solemn expression on his face, "Comrade Xiao Xiangdong, let me tell you the truth, the seat of the first regiment commander will be vacant soon. I also have regiment commander Zhang and political commissar Wei. , are very interested in you taking this seat. If you apply to be transferred to Haishi, not only will this seat be given up to others, but your level will also most likely be reduced. You know, someone like you can sit in the group under the age of thirty. There are not many people with long positions in the army. It would be a shame if you just give up."

Xiao Xiangdong's various abilities are very good. I thought that his combat ability would decline after returning from injury. Because as the number of missions increases and injuries increase, the physical fitness and combat effectiveness of many soldiers will decrease. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiangdong rose instead of falling. He completed several important national tasks in succession and was very successful and made many military exploits. It has become a sharp knife in their military region.

However, now, this outstanding warrior in his prime has to change his profession. The brigade commander rubbed his swollen temples and felt a headache.

"Brigadier, I have already thought about it. I can accept a lower level, as long as I can be with my wife and children."

Xiao Xiangdong's attitude was very firm.

He should be very happy that his soldiers can treat their families like this, but the army is really short of comprehensive talents like him who have strong combat capabilities and scientific and cultural knowledge.

Brigadier Xue Zhengqiang suppressed his irritable heart and followed the temptation, "It's good that you value family so much, but you have to think about it, only when there is a country, there is a family. The country is now facing various serious risks both internally and externally, and it is soldiers like you who are needed. At that time, the country and the army have trained you for so long, are you planning to leave at this time? Moreover, the new technologies and knowledge you learned last time in Haishi have not been used yet, so leaving like this is a waste of resources. Very irresponsible!" After speaking, Xue Zhengqiang's tone became serious.

After Xue Zhengqiang finished speaking, he slammed the table angrily. Seeing Xiao Xiangdong bowing his head and remaining silent, he glanced at the political commissar Wei Heping.

Wei Heping walked up to Xiao Xiangdong, sat down, and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner, "Xiangdong, those of us who are soldiers work hard, not for our families, for our wives and children. If you want to take care of your wife and children, we all Understand. But think about it, isn’t it because we are working hard outside that our wives and children can live a good life? Don’t worry, the brigade commander and I are not unreasonable people. Do you think this is okay? Stay in the military camp first. The camp plans to select elites from each regiment and form an independent regiment. You will be the leader and be responsible for training these people. On the one hand, what you have learned can be achieved. To maximize your value, on the other hand, in Haishi, we also have time to help you find a position that is more suitable for you.”

Zhang Dechang also advised: "Yes, Xiangdong, you are so capable. It would be too wasteful to serve as an ordinary officer in Haishi. The brigade commander and political commissar have said so. I will definitely get you a higher position." Haishi is a big city with a lot of expenses. It will be better for Comrade Meng and his children if your allowance is higher. You can stay here for a while with peace of mind. The family home will still keep it for you, and you can take care of Comrade Meng when he goes on summer vacation. The child will come back to Yushan to accompany you."

He is a husband and a father, but he is also a soldier and a warrior. After a while, Xiao Xiangdong nodded, "I understand, thank you brigade commander, political commissar, and regimental commander!" After saying that, he saluted the military salute and strode out of the office.
