Chapter 63 Captain Xu Comes to Intercede
Chu Mingzhou helped Lin Anan stand up, thanked Dai Lihua, and then the three of them left the medical company together.
"The door ahead is the supply and marketing cooperative. Let's go buy some vegetables on the way."
Chu Mingzhou nodded and said, "Okay."
It was almost time for dinner, and there weren't many people in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Lin Anan picked some vegetables and bought some eggs. "We have some braised food at home, so we can just add a couple of vegetarian dishes."
"Um."
Lin Zihuai watched from the side bored, occasionally picking up a piece of fruit, looking at it, and then putting it down again, "Sister, this art troupe thing is over, so do I... have to go back to the communications company?"
Lin Anan wanted to say yes, but then she thought of what Dai Lihua said and hesitated, "Let's talk about it after we have dinner."
Lin Zihuai looked miserable, but there was nothing he could do!
After paying the bill and carrying the food, the three of them went home together.
"Is Mingzhou back?"
"Aunt Jin."
"Is that... your wife? This is the first time I've seen her. She's really pretty."
"Yes, Sister Fang, this is my wife Lin Anan."
When the people in the compound saw Chu Mingzhou leading Lin Anan home, they were all confused as if they were seeing something strange...
The braver aunties and grandmas would stick their heads out to greet Chu Mingzhou and try to find out what was going on.
They were all neighbors living in the same courtyard, and many of them had helped the Chu family. Chu Mingzhou was polite to everyone and nodded in response to each of them.
But the relationship between the two...is obviously different from what they imagined!
Chu Mingzhou treats his wife very well, not at all like the rumors say.
Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask.
How to ask?
Are you asking...Captain Chu, when will you get divorced?
Lin Anan's hand was held tightly by Chu Mingzhou, and she followed him closely. When Chu Mingzhou greeted people, she nodded politely.
After returning home, Chu Mingzhou went into the kitchen with Chu Minglan, washed and cut the vegetables skillfully, and then prepared to cook.
Lin Anan wanted to help, but was driven away by Chu Mingzhou. "Go sit down. It's just two vegetables. It will be quick."
"Well then, Mingzhou and Xiaolan, thank you for your hard work~"
After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.
Lin Zihuai was stunned. "I was worried when Mom left. Now it seems that my brother-in-law is not bad!"
Lin Anan peeled a candy and put it in her mouth, "That's it."
Lin Zihuai moved closer to Lin Anan and lowered his voice, "Sister, are you still going to get a divorce? You made such a fuss at the time, I thought you two would never get a divorce."
Lin Anan glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense."
"You really won't leave?"
"nonsense."
"So you said at that time..."
Before Lin Zihuai could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Mingyu ran out of the room and saw that it was Captain Xu and Lu Qing. He smiled and called out, "Uncle Xu," then ran to open the door.
When Lin Anan saw Captain Xu coming, she immediately straightened her clothes and stood up.
Lin Zihuai also stood up, but when he saw Lu Qing, he curled his lips.
"Zihuai, let's forget about the art troupe's matter today. We may have to go to the art performance at the end of the year. I will tell you about other things in detail later. You must not lose your temper." Lin Anan warned in a low voice.
Lin Zihuai: “…”
Before he could ask why, Captain Xu and Lu Qing came in.
"Captain Xu, Instructor Lu, please take a seat." Lin Anan greeted with a smile.
Lin Zihuai was unwilling to do so, but he had no choice but to greet them, "Captain Xu, Instructor Lu."
"Oh, okay, don't be nervous, we're just here to take a look."
"It's just right for lunch. It will be ready soon."
Lin Anan felt a little embarrassed. After all, in other families, women would go into the kitchen, but she just sat there and forced the man and her little sister-in-law to cook...
"That's great. Lu Qing has been telling me several times that your stewing skills are unique in the compound."
Chu Mingyu was the first to come out and prove the truth of what he said, "Uncle Xu, it's true, it's really delicious, I love it!"
Captain Xu hugged Chu Mingyu to his side and rubbed his head with his hand, showing great affection.
It was the first time that Lin Anan saw Captain Xu being so kind, and she was a little uncomfortable. "Nothing, I'll just do it casually."
After he finished speaking, Captain Xu took out some money from his pocket, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Lin Anan.
“Then I really have to taste it.”
Exactly the same as last time, no advantage at all.
Lin Anan paused slightly, but still accepted it.
A smile flashed across Captain Xu's eyes, and he was obviously very satisfied with her behavior.
"The weather in the northwest is cold. Are you used to living here? Also, the food tastes are very different..."
He didn't mention anything about the art troupe and just talked about ordinary family matters.
Lin Anan handled the situation appropriately and with a gentle attitude.
Lin Zihuai was nervous throughout the whole process, rubbing his thighs from time to time.
"It's time to eat."
Chu Mingzhou brought the dishes to the table, and Chu Minglan prepared the meal for everyone.
The table was full again, with super large portions of braised food platters exuding a unique aroma. The vegetables were fried in an attractive color, and paired with seaweed egg drop soup, it made people very appetizing just by looking at it.
"Eat quickly."
Headmaster Xu picked up his chopsticks, tasted the stewed food, and couldn't help but praise it: "This stewed food is really delicious."
"Right, Uncle Xu, try this large intestine, it's really delicious." Chu Mingyu started sharing like a little adult.
Lu Qing also nodded, "It's really delicious. I can't forget it after trying it once."
Lin Zihuai was listening at the side. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable with Lu Qing, he didn't say anything and just ate his meal in silence.
The meal was quite lively, with everyone talking and laughing.
When they were almost done eating, Director Xu put down his bowl and chopsticks and spoke slowly, "I came here today to try Comrade Lin's stewed food skills, and secondly, to tell you about the art troupe."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Captain Xu.
Lin Anan wiped her mouth gently and said, "Captain Xu, please go ahead and talk. We are listening."
Director Xu sighed slightly, "I understand what happened in the art troupe today. It is indeed our comrades in the art troupe who did something wrong. Here, I would like to apologize to Comrade Lin and Comrade Zihuai on their behalf."
Lin Anan and Lin Zihuai looked at each other and quickly waved their hands. How could they be so shameless as to deserve the thanks from the team leader?
"Captain Xu, please stop doing this."
Captain Xu raised his hand to signal them to sit down, and then said: "Lu Qing has already given them a serious criticism and education, and has given them corresponding punishments in accordance with the regulations, and has guaranteed that such a situation will not happen again in the future.
This art performance is very important to our entire army. I came to you shamelessly just to ask for your help. I hope you can reconsider it. "
Chu Mingzhou tightened his hands on the table, but he said nothing, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Anan did not change.
He was on her side.
As long as she doesn't want to, she can refuse even if Captain Xu comes.
