"Ha ha ha ha."
A commotion immediately erupted around them, with other soldiers joining in the jeering.
"Comrade, comrade, he's not right for you. Why don't you consider me?"
"Comrade, heroine, look at me, I am better than both of them."
The cafeteria instantly transformed into a scene of matchmaking and dating, with an incredibly lively atmosphere.
The expression on Lu Zhengting's face, sitting next to Lin Qingyan, could no longer be described as merely ugly.
He stood up, smiled at the soldiers, and said, "It is my honor to introduce myself to you. I am this lady's husband, and we are already married."
He once again experienced how glorious it was to be the man behind Lin Qingyan, and at the same time, he also felt a sense of crisis.
Upon hearing his words, the soldiers immediately fell silent.
Because no one would doubt what he said. The two of them standing together are a perfect match, both talented and beautiful, and both are quite capable. No one is more compatible than them.
The soldier who had initially said he wanted to date Lin Qingyan suddenly felt embarrassed: "Oh, so you're my sister-in-law! You're amazing! You and Deputy Battalion Commander Lu are such a perfect match."
He praised it and then quickly sat down.
Watching Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting being so affectionate, Gu Mingzhou lost his appetite for the meal he had been enjoying. He only ate half of it and couldn't finish it, so he simply threw the rest away, only to be discovered by a colleague on duty next to the canteen.
"You're wasting food, you'll be punished."
Gu Mingzhou slapped his forehead in frustration.
Lu Zhengting was riding high, but he was so unlucky!
Lin Qingyan carried the piece of meat home and gave one pound each to Zhang Saozi and Yang Qiuyue.
Yang Qiuyue refused everything, saying, "No, no, no, Qingyan, Lao Hu and I were just about to thank you, we can't accept anything from you."
"Sister-in-law, there's so much meat. Zhengting and I can't possibly finish it all, or it will spoil."
It's true that meat can be stored in the space, but you can't store meat that has already been exposed, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.
It would be better to share some with the neighbors; it would also help to improve neighborly relations.
Yang Qiuyue accepted the piece of meat with a sense of shame, saying, "Qingyan, we owe you more and more."
“We’re neighbors, let’s stay good sisters from now on, sister-in-law, please don’t say those formal things like ‘I owe you something’ to me.’”
Yang Qiuyue grew to like Lin Qingyan more and more. "Qingyan, it's so nice to have you as my neighbor."
That evening, Yang Qiuyue and Hu Jianguo brought two cans of fruit, two packets of brown sugar, and a can of malted milk powder to thank Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan refused their things, saying, "Sister-in-law, Brother Hu, please take these back for the children to eat."
Hu Jianjun and Yang Qiuyue refused and insisted on leaving the things behind. Lin Qingyan couldn't refuse, so after they left, she returned a can of fruit and a packet of brown sugar to them. She didn't take the malted milk powder, because she was afraid that if she took the malted milk powder, the couple would ask her to take it back.
After that, not only did Lin Qingyan's reputation as a "heroine who hunts wild boars" spread throughout the military family compound, but other family members who usually liked to stroll in the mountains also dared not go there anymore.
As usual, Gu Mingzhou slept with Lin Sisi and had sex with her, but before they became husband and wife, Gu Mingzhou took out a box of condoms.
"I got this at the military hospital; we'll all be using it from now on."
"Mingzhou," Lin Sisi said, feeling wronged, "I really want to have your child."
"Unfortunately, you don't deserve it."
Gu Mingzhou put it on without hesitation. Lin Sisi was speechless with bitterness. She had tried so hard for so long and only slept with Gu Mingzhou for two nights, and now he wanted to use protection.
He hoped she would get pregnant in those two nights; if that happened, no amount of precautions would help Gu Mingzhou.
After Lu Zhengting left for work, Lin Qingyan remembered the two large wild boars in her spatial dimension. She decided to go in and slaughter them so that she could easily retrieve the meat from her spatial dimension later.
She closed the front and back doors, bolted them, and went inside. She found that the two dead wild boars were still warm; the space's preservation function was truly remarkable.
She first slaughtered a wild boar with a knife, then separated the meat according to its parts, cutting it into pieces of varying sizes, which she took as she ate.
Wild boars are too big, and there are many procedures involved in slaughtering them. She only managed to slaughter one before getting tired, so she left the other one for later when she had time.
After resting for a while, and since there wasn't much to do at home, I went to chat with Sister Zhang and Yang Qiuyue. I strolled around the family compound and met other military wives. Occasionally, I would go outside for a walk.
When Lu Zhengting returned at noon, he told her that he wanted to attend an awards ceremony with her that evening. He was to be promoted to battalion commander, while Battalion Commander Zhang was to be promoted to deputy regimental commander.
That evening, Zhang Fei's family of four, Lin Qingyan, and Lu Zhengting all went to the military region auditorium.
When Lin Qingyan arrived at the auditorium, she immediately saw Gu's mother and Lin Sisi sitting in the front row.
The fact that the two of them are here must mean that Gu Mingzhou is about to be promoted.
She remembered Lu Zhengting saying that he and Gu Mingzhou had always been at the same level. Was it a curse that they always got promoted together?
Although she didn't know Gu Mingzhou's performance in the military, judging from his character alone, she could tell that his work ability was probably not very outstanding.
Someone like that can rise through the ranks must have a very strong background.
Lin Sisi looked around, as if she was looking for someone. Finally, she saw Lin Qingyan, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Lin Qingyan is here too. Is Lu Zhengting also getting a promotion?
She was very unhappy, but she still got up and went to Lin Qingyan's side.
"Qingyan, what a coincidence, you're here for the awards ceremony too."
Lin Qingyan gave a faint "hmm" and didn't say anything more. She pulled Zhang's wife to sit down in the seat next to her.
Feeling bored, Lin Sisi returned to her seat.
