Carrie Lam’s sudden move left people dumbfounded. What does it mean?

Even Chu Yue frowned, which was rare.

But soon, Carrie Lam came out again, this time holding a small round bamboo winnowing basket with a pile of chestnuts on it.

Zheng Yue'e walked up to Chu Yue, her smile still somewhat awkward, but when she spoke, her attitude towards Chu Yue became much more polite.

"Comrade Chu, what happened before... was the fault of my two children. I want to say sorry to you. I know that you and Captain Lu are not petty people and will not hold it against us. Just do as you said, don't bring up the past, and let the past be the past. I accepted your wedding candy, these chestnuts are not worth much, but they are a small token of my appreciation. You can take them back and eat them with your children."

As she spoke, Carrie Lam stuffed a pile of chestnuts into Chu Yue's hands. As if afraid that she would not accept them, she poured them directly into her bag of wedding candies.

The bag, which had been deflated because of the distribution of the sugar, suddenly became full again.

Chu Yue took a look and her eyes lit up. She exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually high mountain oil chestnut."

There are many types of chestnuts. The most obvious difference is in the shape and size of the chestnuts. Some are semicircular, some are triangular and conical. Among them, the high mountain oil chestnut is conical. Among all the chestnut types, it is the most glutinous and delicious, and it is also the easiest to peel. (Picture)

Chu Yue hadn't seen this kind of chestnuts for many years, let alone picking them in the mountains by herself.

Her life was filled with patients in the emergency room, and she had long forgotten the taste of wild chestnuts. She could only occasionally see them when watching short videos online.

Even in the portable space, the alpine oil chestnut is rated as a rare plant, and the space level must be upgraded to obtain its drops.

Chu Yue’s space level was not high enough, so she didn’t get it. Unexpectedly, she got it now without any effort.

"Ah?" Zheng Yue'e was confused by Chu Yue's words. She knew nothing about the scientific name of chestnut. "What did you say? I don't know whether it is from the mountains or not, but it is definitely picked from the mountains."

Picked it up on the mountain.

Chu Yue quickly got the information she wanted and asked, "Sister Zheng, which hill is it on? Can you tell me the location?"

Carrie looked up and looked around. She pointed to a green hillside in the south of the compound and said, "There, near the top of the mountain, there are several chestnut trees. The ground is full of fallen chestnuts. You can't pick them all up. If you want to go there, be careful. The mountain road is very steep and not easy to walk on."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Zheng."

Chu Yue got the information she wanted and her smile became even more satisfied. After distributing all the wedding candies, she didn't talk any more with Carrie Lam. After a few polite words, they said goodbye.

After a while, they left the vicinity of Carrie Lam's home.

Chu Yue was thinking about tomorrow's plan. Lu Yuanbao was holding a bag full of chestnuts, which he touched from time to time on his back.

On the contrary, Chen Fengying, who had always been the most impetuous, became the one with a frown on his brow.

Chu Yue noticed it and asked, "Mrs. Chen, what's wrong? Is there something you can't figure out?"

Chen Fengying nodded excitedly and asked directly, "Sister Chu, you and Cheng Yuet-ngor almost had a fight yesterday. How come you said everything is fine all of a sudden? I was stunned."

Chu Yue said, "Now that the problem has been solved, of course we'll make peace. Besides, it wasn't a deep hatred in the first place, and my Yuanbao won the fight, so it's not a loss. Rather than having one more enemy, it's better to have one more friend, and I also got a bunch of chestnuts, isn't that a win?"

Chen Fengying thought about what Chu Yue said, "...That's true! In fact, Zheng Yue'e is not a bad person. When my Da Zhuang was sick before, she came to help me..."

The daily trivialities of life are endless once they are talked about.

The reason why Chu Yue took the initiative to show goodwill to Zheng Yue'e was for a reason she didn't say out loud, and that was for Lu Zhanlin.

Carrie Lam's lover Zhao Wenwu beat the child yesterday. The incident caused a lot of uproar and everyone in the compound knew about it. However, the reason why he beat the child was not necessarily known to everyone in the compound.

After all, it was just a fight between kids, which was a common occurrence for many sisters-in-law.

If we take it too seriously, it will make Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin seem stingy.

So if the story of Zhao Wenwu beating the child spreads, it might turn out that Lu Zhanlin used his position to pressure Zhou Wenwu to apologize and beat the child.

Chu Yue knew that rumors were scary, so she wanted to nip this possibility in the bud.

During their wedding days, Lu Zhanlin did a great job and even brought meat buns. Chu Yue naturally didn't want to be a burden to him, and also wanted to... be nicer to that man.

…

“A-choo!”

Military camp, next to the training ground.

Lu Zhanlin, who was dressed in a neat military uniform, suddenly sneezed, which immediately attracted the attention of people around him.

Especially Xu Feng, who is also responsible for the training of new recruits.

Xu Feng came closer with a sly grin, approaching Lu Zhanlin and saying, "Captain Lu, did you sneeze? It must be because your new wife is missing you."

Lu Zhanlin glanced at Xu Feng coldly and was too lazy to talk nonsense.

The more he remained silent, the more complacent Xu Feng became, with his smile full of mockery and ridicule.

"I've checked everything. Did you go back to the military compound yesterday? Although there is no clear rule that the person in charge cannot go out at will during the training of new recruits, you have always been rooted in the barracks and treated the barracks as your home. You didn't even sleep in the dormitory, but slept on the floor in the office. What's wrong? Have you changed your personality? You want a small family and don't want a big family anymore. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid your prestige as Captain Lu will be ruined."

Lu Zhanlin listened to these words without changing his expression, not even his eyebrows moved, "Why are you talking so much, aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue off?"

"Lu Zhanlin, how come we are brothers who came out of the same trench, and you never tell me the truth?" Xu Feng still pestered Lu Zhanlin, "Tell me quickly, after you returned to the compound yesterday, did you have a wife and children to rest in peace? How did you feel? Was it good?"

How does it feel...?

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Zhanlin's thoughts flashed back to last night, especially after Chu Yue fell asleep, her breath close to his neck, and her slender and soft hands, which always tickled his heartbeat like a kitten.

Several times in the dark night, the heat surged and Lu Zhanlin felt his breathing suddenly quicken and his muscles tense to the point of stiffness.

Is this what it feels like to have a wife, children and a warm bed?
