Chapter 352: Confidence from Self-reliance
Chu Mingzhou and Lin Anan stopped at the same time and turned around, only to see a young female comrade in military uniform jogging towards them.
She had a pretty face, her two pigtails moved up and down as she ran, and she exuded confidence, especially when she looked at Chu Mingzhou with particularly eager eyes.
"Colonel Chu." Chen Lefang walked up to them and first smiled sweetly at Chu Mingzhou.
Then her eyes fell on Lin Anan and she nodded slightly, "This must be Lin the translator. I've heard of your name for a long time." Her tone was polite and distant, with just the right smile on her lips.
Lin Anan raised her eyebrows slightly. She was no longer a translator, but a translator. The difference of one word made a huge difference in her status.
Chu Mingzhou subconsciously protected Lin An'an behind him, frowning slightly, "What do you want?"
Seeing that he was so resistant to her attitude, Chen Lefang pursed her lips a little aggrieved.
However, her attitude changed very smoothly, as if she had thought of something, and she convinced herself in a second. She smiled again, and then handed the document in her hand to Chu Mingzhou: "This is the follow-up list of the wounded in Henan Province. I thought you must review it before your transfer."
As she spoke, her eyes were always on Chu Mingzhou, and her tone was unconsciously intimate. "It should have been delivered earlier, but the work of the medical company is too busy... You won't blame me, right?"
Lin Anan noticed that there was still some traces of medical alcohol on Chen Lefang's cuffs, and thought that she had just finished work. She gently tugged at the corner of Chu Mingzhou's clothes, signaling him to take the documents and leave.
"Okay, just put the files in my office from now on." Chu Mingzhou said coldly, and deliberately avoided physical contact when he reached out to take the files. He quickly glanced at the cover and prepared to say goodbye: "If there is nothing else, my wife and I will leave first."
"Wait!" Chen Lefang suddenly spoke in a hurry. Seeing the two people looking at her in doubt, her cheeks turned even redder and she took out a small iron box from her pocket. "I heard... you have been looking for special candies. This is for you. I didn't expect that you actually like sweets.
This is pear paste candy, a specialty of our Jinshi, very delicious, and refreshing and moistening the lungs. "
After saying that, Chu Mingzhou immediately looked at Lin Anan. Seeing that she looked normal, he hurriedly explained, "I wanted to buy you some candy, but Henan Province was hit hard by the disaster and I couldn't buy any."
"I know."
Chen Lefang's hand trembled, and the small iron box almost fell to the ground. No matter how optimistic she was, she felt bad when she saw Chu Mingzhou's appearance at that moment.
She looked at Lin Anan straight in the eye.
She has willow-shaped eyebrows, light eyes, and an oval face. Her skin is whiter than snow, and her lips are pale in color, which makes her look particularly cool and beautiful, like a delicate pear blossom wet by the rain, which is very endearing.
Chu Mingzhou likes this?
Chen Lefang was a little dazed.
Lin Anan gave Chu Mingzhou a reassuring look and said to Chen Lefang, "Thank you, comrade. However, my Mingzhou doesn't like sweets, and this candy is precious. Comrade, please take it back."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chen Lefang's face. She paused on Lin Anan's face again and forced a smile, "So it's Lin the Translator who likes it. Then you can have it."
Chu Mingzhou refused directly, "No, my wife has been feeling unwell recently and doesn't like sweet food, let alone cold food."
Tears welled up in Chen Lefang's eyes instantly. She bit her lips tightly and held the small iron box tightly. "Okay, then I won't bother you two anymore. Goodbye."
She bowed hastily and trotted away just as she had come, soon disappearing into the twilight.
Lin Anan glanced at Chu Mingzhou and said jokingly, "Captain Chu, you are quite charming!"
Chu Mingzhou reluctantly took her hand and kissed her on the lips, "My whole heart is in your hands."
Lin Anan was amused by him, "Chu Mingzhou, I am very good at judging people."
"Um?"
"You are mine, so I never worry."
“An An…”
"I suggest you look in the mirror more often and see how handsome the person I like is. It's really hard to deal with because he is being wanted by others!"
Looking at her cute appearance of shaking her head, Chu Mingzhou felt like his heart was melting.
The two smiled at each other and walked home in the sunset. The poplar trees behind them rustled, as if they were providing an accompaniment to this little sweet moment.
For the next few days, the military compound was shrouded in a mist of busyness.
Chu Mingzhou shuttled between the Special Operations Battalion and the 741st Regiment all day long, and in between handover work he also had to supervise the follow-up of the Gao Cheng incident.
Lin Anan was immersed in translation and analysis work. Those crooked foreign symbols were like clues in a maze, waiting for her to decipher one by one.
It wasn't until Saturday that Lin Anan had free time.
"Sister-in-law, aren't we going to the city with Cheng Ge'er?" Chu Minglan came running over, her pigtails swinging on her shoulders.
Chu Mingyu took the lead in answering for Lin Anan, "Sister, you go with my sister-in-law. Cheng Ge'er and I will do research and development at home."
Mother Lin couldn't help laughing and couldn't help but touch his face. "Our Xiaoyu is amazing. He will be a scientist in the future."
Lin Anan is also very happy. Her new book "Shackles" will be on the market next Monday. The printing volume this time is larger than the first time, and the preparation is also more sufficient.
She had to go to the publishing house to support her book.
She put on the new cape-style woolen coat that Lin's mother had made for her, which was a very fashionable dark purple color. She paired it with a black turtleneck sweater and a pair of black slim pants. She looked so fashionable.
"An An, it looks good."
Lin Anan's belly is already showing a little, but once she puts on the cloak-style coat, it is not noticeable at all.
Lin Anan is not just a military wife now, she is already an official translator of the military region. She has her own share of food, grain and cloth coupons, etc., and she dares to wear these beautiful clothes.
There is no way. In this era, we have to respect the thinking of contemporary people.
Sometimes, I am not only afraid of being gossiped about, but I am also afraid of affecting my man's reputation.
If you are a housewife who stays at home, if you dress too well, you will not be praised but criticized instead.
But now it's different. Not only is Chu Mingzhou a powerful husband, but Lin Anan herself is also excellent enough, talented, has a decent job, and a good reputation...
Moreover, the book she was going to put on the shelves today was about women, and there were a lot of people at the publishing house waiting for her to say hello, so she had to be decent enough.
"Let's go."
Lin's mother and Chu Minglan accompanied Lin Anan out. They both wore their best clothes and even stood straighter than usual.
Chu Mingzhou is about to be promoted, and Lin Anan is famous. Now when he goes out, who among the neighbors won’t say hello when they see him?
"Hey~ Translator Lin, are you going out?"
"Big sister, are you going to accompany Interpreter Lin out?"
"Sister Lan has grown so tall. Your sister-in-law has taken good care of her. She is so pretty."
"......"
Lin Anan would respond with a smile to everyone who came up to say hello, calling them aunt or uncle.
In fact, what satisfied her most was the way they addressed her.
Most people call her Lin the Translator, not Mingzhou's wife...
