Chapter 124 The Orchid's Thoughts

When Lu Huailin rode his bicycle back to the family compound, it was already dark.

He was carrying many bags, which still attracted a lot of attention.

The military spouses in the family compound all craned their necks to look at Commander Lu.

I noticed that there was a basket in the front of his bicycle and another basket tied to the back seat, both of which were filled to the brim.

Sister-in-law Li curled her lip and said, "Are they not trying to make a living?"

"No matter how much money you have, you can't withstand their mockery."

Lancao stared at the abundance of things, her eyes burning with envy.

Today, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang took her to the state-run restaurant, and she thought she would get to eat braised pork.

As a result, each person ate a bowl of egg noodles. Lancao was quite satisfied, as eggs were a scarce commodity.

But when she saw Commander Lu's bicycle full of stuff, she couldn't help but compare it to his.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes. "How can we compare ourselves to them?"

"They eat meat regularly at home, almost without fail."

"Besides, Commander Lu's wife is pregnant now, so of course he has to cherish her."

The military wives whispered among themselves, "She's pregnant? She's carrying a golden boy, Commander Lu treats her so well."

Aunt Li chimed in, "It's like everyone has had a child. Back then, when we were pregnant, we were working and giving birth at the same time."

An older military wife sighed, "Things can't be compared to what we had back then."

“In our time, we would go back to work in the fields the day after giving birth.”

Lu Huailin had just arrived at the entrance of the courtyard when he met Deputy Battalion Commander Wang.

The other person was looking at him with pity in their eyes.

Lu Huailin didn't ask aloud, but he was quite surprised. Was there really someone who sympathized with him?

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang finally couldn't hold back and went over to pat Lu Huailin on the shoulder, saying, "You can't spoil your wife like this."

Lu Huailin's expression immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "What's it to you?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang gave him a "I'm doing this for your own good" look: "Your family has never run out of chicken, fish, meat, and eggs, and your wife even buys you clothes every month."

As the saying goes, "You won't go broke from eating or dressing, but you'll suffer if you don't plan ahead..."

Lu Huailin, his face cold, really didn't want to listen to his nonsense and interrupted him directly, "Stop! Don't say anything more."

Lu Huailin glanced at Wang, the deputy nutritionist, and sneered, "My wife is different from the ordinary military wives in the family compound."

"She was like this before she got married, so she can't possibly be worse off after marrying me, can she?"

Lu Huailin looked Wang, the deputy battalion commander, up and down and said sarcastically, "People like you, people like my wife."

"I will not marry you. You are like a toad trying to eat swan meat. You can't have it yourself, but you hope that others can't either."

After saying that, he pushed open the courtyard door and slammed it shut. He really thinks he's something.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yihan jogged out and was relieved to see that it was Lu Huailin who had returned.

As she carried things into the house, she muttered, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"

Gu Yihan glanced at the several cans of food, several cans of malted milk powder, and some snacks.

Lu Huailin put the things he bought away in their proper places, then returned to the living room and saw the dumplings on the table.

Feeling warm inside, I picked up the dumplings and started eating. They were filled with chives and eggs. "Honey, these dumplings are so delicious."

Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin, thinking to herself, "How could it not taste good? Now the chickens at home drink water from the space, and the eggs taste even better."

Since Gu Yihan became pregnant, Lu Huailin has taken over all the housework. When she's in a better mood, time flies by.

Before they knew it, it was Sunday again. Only Gu Yihan was at home, as Lu Huailin had gone out on a mission early this morning.

Before leaving, worried that she might be uneasy leaving her alone at home, I brought Mao Mao back with me.

"Woof, woof, woof."

Mao Mao circled around Gu Yihan, barking occasionally and then biting her trouser leg, pulling it outwards as if it wanted to run around freely.

"Let's go, we'll get out now."

Gu Yihan had just closed the gate to the courtyard when she took Mao Mao out for a stroll.

Aunt Chen from next door, holding bed sheets and blankets, asked Gu Yihan with a smile, "Where are you going for a stroll?"

Gu Yihan smiled and shook her head: "I haven't decided which way to take Mao Mao for a walk yet."

Aunt Chen glanced at Mao Mao spinning around and called out to it, "Mao Mao, come on, let's go to the riverbank, we can catch fish there!"

Gu Yihan knew that Aunt Chen was going to the river to wash clothes, but she didn't reply.

Mao Mao is very clever; it understood and ran back and forth between Aunt Chen and Gu Yihan.

And so, the two people and the dog went to the riverbank. Before Gu Yihan could even call out to Mao Mao, it jumped straight into the river.

Before long, more and more people came to the river to wash clothes.

Lan Cao walked up to Gu Yihan without anyone noticing and said sarcastically, "How strange, Commander Lu's wife actually decided to come out?"

Gu Yihan ignored Lan Cao; she was a crazy woman, and she was pregnant and didn't want to argue with her.

Gu Yihan turned around and didn't see Mao Mao in the river. She was startled and quickly walked to the riverbank.

Seeing it still frolicking in the river, I felt relieved.

Aunt Chen was washing the sheets when she noticed Gu Yihan's actions and chuckled, "Xiaohan, Mao Mao knows how to swim, which is a basic skill at the military dog ​​base."

"Aunt Chen, why haven't I seen your grandson these past few days?" Lan Cao's voice rang out from behind Gu Yihan.

Gu Yihan cautiously observed Lan Cao's every move, sensing that the man harbored ill intentions.

Aunt Chen noticed that Lan Cao was very close to Gu Yihan, but didn't think much of it: "My son-in-law is here, so I let his family rent a place outside to live."

Although Lan Cao was talking to Aunt Chen, she glanced at Gu Yihan out of the corner of her eye, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

"Ouch!" Lan Cao pretended to lose her balance and pounced straight at Gu Yihan.

Everyone around was stunned, but Gu Yihan quickly dodged just as the other woman's hands were about to touch her.

The orchid, unable to stop itself, fell directly into the water, splashing up a spray of water.

She was splashing around in the water, as if she couldn't swim.

People around realized what was happening and shouted, "Quick, someone's fallen into the water! Who can swim?"

From the crowd, people were shouting, "He can't swim!"

One of the women said, "I'll go find someone to help."

After saying that, she turned and ran.

When Mao Mao saw someone fall into the water, it immediately swam over, biting Lan Cao's clothes as it swam towards the shore.

Gu Yihan stared intently at Mao Mao's movements, knowing that Mao Mao was much stronger than other dogs.

Gu Yihan suddenly shouted, "Mao Mao!"

Those around Gu Yihan, upon hearing her cry, all stared intently at the person and dog in the water.

The orchid was seen pressing its hairy head firmly into the water, preventing it from floating.

Aunt Chen gasped, and asked uncertainly, "Lan Cao didn't do it on purpose, did she?"

The military wives around them didn't dare to say anything, with so many people watching.

Ignoring the people around her, Gu Yihan was worried about Mao Mao and called out, "Mao Mao, let go of her mouth."

The little cat in the water was also aggrieved; its paws had been grabbed by this wicked woman, who had pushed it into the water.

Gu Yihan saw that there was no movement from Mao Mao in the water, only Lan Cao splashing around for a while, but she didn't cry out for help.

Gu Yihan knew that Lan Cao was faking it, so she tried to remotely store the fluffy hairs into her spatial dimension.

The orchid in the water thought, since Gu Yihan didn't fall into the water, she would make Mao Mao die in the water.

Lancao held Mao Mao's hand, paused, and realized that Mao Mao had disappeared into thin air.

She was terrified and stopped pretending she couldn't swim, quickly swimming to the shore.

He shouted that there was a ghost in the water: "Ah... there's a ghost!"
