The time on the train is still very difficult, especially in this era, the train is not as strict as later generations. The middle aisle is full and crowded with people. Sitting across from them on the floor, Lin s.h.i.+heng could see an elder sister carrying a live chicken in her hands.

All kinds of smells mixed together, which made He Xuezhu, who was already uncomfortable while she was pregnant, even more uncomfortable. Her pale face desperately endured nausea and was putting up with it.  A pair of hands suddenly and gently leaned her head on his shoulder. He Xuezhu raised her eyes to see Lin s.h.i.+heng's caring gaze.

“Sleep on me for a while. It should feel much better.”

During this period of time, He Xuezhu was taught to write by her husband every day. He became Xuezhu's most trusted person a long time ago. Now she relaxed and leaned her head on the shoulder of the man next to her.

Lin s.h.i.+heng loves cleanliness. She can smell the soap at the tip of her nose right now. He Xuezhu's body has been uncomfortable during this period of pregnancy, but her heart is a hundred times more peaceful than before.

She used to live with her mother-in-law after marriage. She used to secretly comfort herself at the bottom of her heart. He never took her to the army base because he was worried that her mother-in-law was at home alone. In fact, he loved her very much, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent half of the allowance every month.

(allowance = this is different from his monthly salary. An allowance is a subsidy the government gives soldiers for food and other things.)

She wants to think so, from the bottom of her heart, but she always has a bit of an inferiority complex.

She was afraid that when she felt too comfortable, he would suddenly find out how useless his wife was, and she was afraid that in the end she would be abandoned.

He Xuezhu is not afraid to bear hards.h.i.+ps, nor is she afraid of being scolded. Even if she is beaten, she just wants to stay in this family.

Her husband's cold att.i.tude and her mother-in-law's disdain made her tremble and work hard as soon as she opened her eyes every day; hopefully to express that she was useful.

If she is really abandoned, He Xuezhu has nowhere to go.

But now, leaning against her husband's broad shouldersー the tip of her nose was familiar with this smell of soap, her eyes closed, her hands gently resting on her slightly protruding abdomen, her lips had a slight smile with peace of mind. She went to sleep in the midst of all the noise.

He Xiaobao still had some fresh energy when he got on the train. When he sat around for hours with people and bad smells, his back ached and his stomach hungry and grumbling, the novelty of the idea had long been forgotten.

Before, when He Xuezhu wasn't asleep, he could still talk to his sister and brother-in-law about how much he could win in a game by playing cards with his friends in the village. When He Xuezhu fell asleep, Lin s.h.i.+heng wouldn't let him talk.

He wanted to go home, eat what his mother cooked, and sleep on the warm quilt that his wife took out to sun every time there was suns.h.i.+ne.

He Xiaobao held back for hours and became more and more annoyed. He couldn't help saying, “Brother-in-law…”

“Shh…”

The handsome man, dressed in military uniform, who remained upright even after sitting for several hours, quickly responded, “keep your voice down and don't disturb your sister.”

If it's noisy, it's noisy!

Mother said, the sisters are all unimportant girls. They have to take care of this brother.

He Xiaobao's heart was full of condescension. He watched his capable brother-in-law carefully take care of his Third Sister. He did not dare to ignore He Xuezhu's feelings like when he was at home. He could only lower his voice. He felt wronged and whispered, “Brother-in-law, I'm hungry. ”

“There is food in the bag. ”

Lin s.h.i.+heng frees up one hand and throws the bag to He Xiaobao. “Take two steamed buns to eat.”

He Xiaobao opened it and saw steamed buns. He was hungry and was about to take it out to eat. Suddenly he saw two apples underneath. His eyes lit up immediately.

Although he is much loved, the family is still poor. Good things like apples can only be eaten once in a long time.

He didn't intend to ask. He took it out and directly put it in his mouth. Before he could put it in, Lin s.h.i.+heng held out his hand to grab it.

He Xiaobao stared at him with his mouth open, he was stunned. “Brother-in-law?”

Since they agreed to go to the army together, shouldn't brother-in-law take special care of him?

“This is for your sister to eat."

Lin s.h.i.+heng took the bag in one hand, put the apples back, and threw the two steamed buns to He Xiaobao.

He Xiaobao was startled, holding the steamed buns.

“Brother-in-law, how could you do this to me? I'm your brother! An apple is such a good thing, why should I give it to sister?”

He takes things for granted. After all, from childhood to this big, his mother instilled in him the habit of seeing the girls eat poorly; or not eating at all, while he; the boy, got the best food.

” Xiaobao…”

Lin s.h.i.+heng put the bag on his knee. His slender hands fell on his wife's head acupuncture points, not light nor heavy, he ma.s.sages to ensure that she will sleep more heavily. Looking at his brother-in-law straight in the eyes, he asked:

“Did your brother-in-law give you the money to marry your wife?”

He Xiaobao thought about it and nodded, “Yes. ”

Although the first two brothers-in-law also gave them some, he still gave them the most. Otherwise, his mother would not ignore Elder Brother-in-law and Second Brother-in-law and go to Third Brother-in-law's house every day.

“Every time you come to my house, do I treat you well?”

He Xiaobao chuckled: “Brother-in-law, you are good to me. I know that."

Although Aunt Li always glared at him, when brother-in-law came back he would still get something good.

Seeing his smile, Lin s.h.i.+heng continued to whisper softly: “Do you know why I am so nice to you?”

He Xiaobao couldn't answer. He thought about it for a long time, and asked cautiously, “Because we hit it off?”
