Chapter 158 A Free Meal
Tang Jingqiao was intimidated by the two men's aura, and subconsciously took a small step back, frowning, "I... I am doing this for the good of the Special Operations Battalion, so that more people can see everyone's efforts.
Mingzhou, please think about it. As long as you talk to me, this opportunity will belong to the Special Operations Battalion."
"The honor of the special operations battalion is earned through our sweat and blood. We don't need to rely on such improper means to obtain it. If you really want to promote the troops, you should do your job conscientiously instead of doing these little tricks here."
Chu Mingzhou's voice was not loud, but his words were very serious. After he finished speaking, he took Lin Anan's hand and walked away.
Tang Jingqiao looked at the two people's backs as they left, her eyes still reddened.
The man next to her coughed lightly when he saw this, "Jingqiao, this is the Captain Chu you mentioned, right? It's really inappropriate for you to do this..."
Tang Jingqiao turned her head abruptly and stared at him fiercely, "What do you know! Don't forget your status and stop making sarcastic remarks here!"
The man shrugged. He was not annoyed by her scolding. He just kept some distance from her. "I dare not forget it. If I forget it, my mother will nag me to death. Okay, I will pretend that I didn't hear what happened just now. Then tomorrow..."
Tang Jingqiao snorted coldly, "Let's go to the movies tomorrow. After we meet a few more times, you can tell your parents that your personalities are not compatible. As for your boyfriend, I won't tell anyone."
"Okay~"
Lin Anan and Chu Mingzhou left Yongqian Building.
The snow is still falling, and the whole world is covered in silver.
Lin Anan exhaled a breath of white air and looked at Chu Mingzhou, "I'm a little hungry."
Chu Mingzhou's originally solemn expression immediately relaxed, "Come on, I'll take you to dinner."
"Hmm? Where are we going to eat?"
"Wait." Chu Mingzhou led people back to the mall, bought a can of malted milk and a few pounds of preserved fruits, and then walked out again.
Lin Anan was curious, so she held Chu Mingzhou's arm tightly and let him lead her in the snow.
The two walked along the street for a while and turned into an alley.
There was thick snow on the walls on both sides of the alley, and occasional snowflakes fell.
Deep in the alley, the aroma of food wafts faintly.
Chu Mingzhou led his men to stop in front of an iron gate and knocked on it.
"Who is it? Here you are."
"Aunt, it's me, Chu Mingzhou."
As the door opened, the aroma of food became stronger.
The room is spacious and fully furnished with all the necessary furniture, all arranged in perfect order.
"Hey, Captain Chu, why are you here?"
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and holding a spatula. She had obviously just come out of the kitchen, and it seemed that she was very familiar with Chu Mingzhou.
"If you're hungry, come and have a meal with me." Chu Mingzhou handed over the things he bought.
He squeezed Lin An'an's hand again and introduced: "An'an, this is Aunt Zhang, the mother of my comrade-in-arms."
Lin Anan was a little embarrassed to be brought to his comrade's house all of a sudden. He smiled and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Zhang."
Aunt Zhang was not polite. Chu Mingzhou bought it for her, so she happily accepted it. "Hey, Captain Chu's wife is so pretty! Come on, sit down. Auntie will go get some more dishes."
She turned around and shouted into the house, "Goudan, come out quickly, look who's here."
Goudan?
Although she knew that this was a nickname commonly used by people in rural areas, Lin Anan still wanted to laugh.
But her smile froze when she saw the young man coming out of the house.
The man in front of me was about 25 or 26 years old, with a very handsome appearance, but he was sitting in a wheelchair and had no legs...
"Mingzhou, is there nothing to do in the camp today? How come you have time to come to me?"
Chu Mingzhou nodded and led Lin Anan to sit down. "It's just time for dinner, so I came to have a meal and see you. This is Lin Anan, my wife."
"Hello sister-in-law, I am Kong Changming."
Kong Changming was sitting in a new wheelchair, which was very advanced, even luxurious.
This person's family is not simple.
Lin Anan nodded at him, "Hello, I'm Lin Anan."
"I know you."
Lin Anan clearly felt Chu Mingzhou's hand stiffen.
"You know me?"
"Of course, Mingzhou often mentions you..."
Halfway through his words, he was stopped by Chu Mingzhou's gaze.
Lin Anan raised her eyebrows slightly. Since Chu Mingzhou didn't allow her to say it, she didn't ask.
Listening to the two people chatting, Lin Anan also formed a preliminary impression of Kong Changming.
His family is made up of soldiers. His father and younger brother are both in the Northwest Military Region. He himself was in the special operations battalion. He retired last year due to injury and has been recuperating at home ever since.
My mother works in the Education Bureau and is a good cook, so it’s nothing unusual for comrades-in-arms to come and eat with her.
After a while, Aunt Zhang had prepared the meal and served plates of steaming hot food on the table. "Come, come, come and eat. Aunt Zhang cooked some home-cooked meals. An An, please don't be disgusted."
Lin Anan smiled and responded: "Auntie, you are too polite. This food looks particularly appetizing."
Chu Mingzhou poured a bowl of soup for Lin Anan, blew on it, and placed it in front of her.
Kong Changming was a little stunned...
This is called dislike?
"Try Aunt Zhang's cooking. You won't be disappointed."
Lin Anan took a sip of the soup with a spoon. As soon as the soup entered her mouth, her eyes lit up.
It is refreshing and tastes especially good.
“It’s delicious.”
Not worse than Lin’s mother.
After trying another bite of the dish, he said, "It's delicious. Auntie's cooking skills are really great."
Aunt Zhang was so flattered that she couldn't stop smiling. "As long as you like the food, I'll come here often with Captain Chu in the future."
At the dinner table, everyone ate and chatted.
Kong Changming was happy to see Chu Mingzhou coming, and he opened a bottle of wine and drank it.
After a few drinks, I started to recall the interesting things that happened in the army.
"You don't know, Mingzhou is a well-known hard worker. Once during a field training, he climbed several kilometers of mountain roads in order to win a third-class merit. It was really convincing.
Another time, the army organized a shooting competition. In order to get a good score, Mingzhou practiced day and night and even became deaf. However, he was still very competitive and never missed a shot..."
Are you deaf?
Lin Anan glanced sideways at Chu Mingzhou.
Chu Mingzhou shook his head slightly at her, indicating that he was fine.
Aunt Zhang was listening at the side, a look of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but then quickly disappeared.
After two more glasses of wine, Kong Changming changed the subject, looked at Lin Anan, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you know? When Mingzhou first married you, I was always guessing, you... um!"
When Chu Mingzhou heard this, his expression changed instantly, and he quickly reached out to control the man, "Stop talking nonsense."
Lin Anan blinked her eyes, she really wanted to know.
Kong Changming laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll tell you slowly when I have the chance."
"Just shut up."
Chu Mingzhou drank with him and tried to change the subject.
