Chapter 25: Doing that in broad daylight?
When the sisters-in-law heard this, their eyes lit up immediately. There must be something fishy going on!
They didn't care about the second half of He Meijiao's sentence at all, and just focused on the first half and asked.
"Seducing a man? Comrade He, did you misunderstand something? Comrade Chu looks fair and clean, and seems quite gentle and polite. He doesn't look like that kind of person."
He Meijiao sneered, "Misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes, how could there be any misunderstanding? It's only her first day here, and she's already showering in the house in broad daylight. She's not even dressed yet, and she's rushing out to open the door, eager to be seen by a man! A woman like this, what else could she be but a vixen? Sisters-in-law, I advise you to be more careful. A single rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. If she alone ruins the reputation of the entire compound, you'll all be disgraced too!"
He Meijiao threw down these words, raised her chin proudly, turned around and walked away with a cold face, leaving a group of sisters-in-law looking at each other in bewilderment.
The reason why the sisters-in-law were waiting for He Meijiao was, firstly, to watch the fun, and secondly, they wanted to persuade He Meijiao that since Lu Zhanlin was already married, she should stop thinking about a married man.
There are many unmarried men in the army, such as Xu Feng from the 5th Company of the 3rd Regiment. Company Commander Xu is tall and strong, and he is a good candidate.
(Xu Feng: A-choo! Which bastard is cursing me?)
Who knew that the sisters-in-law had no time to say what they wanted to say to He Meijiao, but instead heard a shocking piece of news.
In the 1970s, the most taboo thing was behavioral issues, especially in relationships between men and women. In society, people were charged with hooliganism and could be shot to death.
He Meijiao's mocking words to Chu Yue were like a landmine dropped in the hearts of her sisters-in-law.
The ground was blown up!
"You're doing that in broad daylight? Are you so impatient?"
"Captain Lu usually looks cold and doesn't seem like the type to do anything out of the ordinary. I think Comrade He is right. It must have been a woman who seduced him!"
"Did you see that child she's carrying around? She only looks about eighteen or nineteen, and that little boy looks at least four or five. Calculate their ages... Tsk tsk, they say you can't judge a person by appearance. I think this woman is no ordinary woman! She's already tied up Captain Lu when she's only a teenager!"
"She's like this on her first day in our compound. What will happen in the future? Will it really be like what Comrade He said, and bring trouble to us?"
The sisters-in-law kept gossiping with each other, and the more they talked, the more exaggerated it became.
In this way, Chu Yue is not only a vixen who seduces men, but also a scheming woman who is scheming against men at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Some people agree with it, while others can't stand it.
Chen Fengying frowned and retorted, "They're a young couple who've been apart for a long time, so why are they doing something behind closed doors? It's not bothering you. Do you have any right to make irresponsible remarks?"
"Chen Fengying, how can you talk like that?" one sister-in-law retorted, "Are we wrong?"
"That's how I talk! What's wrong with you? You're always gossiping about other people's affairs. If you have time for this nagging, you might as well make some coal briquettes for the winter. Humph, I don't like to hear you slander a girl who is willing to risk her life to perform surgery and save others."
Chen Fengying opened her eyes wide, not at all timid. When it came to quarreling, no one in the entire compound could beat her!
After she finished humming, she turned and left.
After Chen Fengying left, Xia Xiaolan, who was standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, also quietly left. There was no doubt that she was on Chen Fengying's side.
After this one left, other people followed one after another.
In the end, only two military wives were left, Wang Xiulan and Li Dahua. It was really terrible! Many people had said those words just now, and it wasn't just these two people who said them!
Wang Xiulan and Li Dahua immediately fled.
…
That day, Chu Yue cleaned the house inside and out, and Lu Zhanlin did not come back.
At dinner time, Song Qi came to deliver lunch boxes, as well as daily necessities such as sheets, quilts, and pillows for use at night.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Captain Lu's orderly. I follow Captain Lu's orders every day. Captain Lu asked me to deliver these two meals. Captain Lu just returned from a mission, and the army is about to have new recruits. He's got a lot to do, and he's going to a meeting at the military headquarters tonight and won't be back. Don't be angry with Captain Lu. If you need help, come to me. I can do anything."
Song Qi handed Chu Yue the hot lunch box and did not forget to explain to Lu Zhanlin.
As a serviceman, he is loyal.
"Song Qi, thank you for making this trip. Once the house is cleaned up, we can cook. You won't have to go back and forth so much in the future." Chu Yue thanked him and invited Song Qi to sit in the house for a while. "Have you eaten? Do you want to come in and rest for a while?"
Song Qi waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, sister-in-law, it's all part of my job, it's not a big deal. It's too late today and I don't have time. I'll send it over tomorrow after I get the furniture from the General Affairs Office."
Speaking of this.
Song Qi suddenly stood at attention and saluted Chu Yue, his young and tall figure standing straight with an proud military posture.
Chu Yue was dazed when she heard Song Qi's loud voice saying, "Welcome sister-in-law to join the army! I wish you and Captain Lu a happy marriage and a happy life together!"
As for having a baby soon, to outsiders, it seemed that Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue had already achieved it.
After Song Qi finished speaking, he grinned at Chu Yue. Perhaps he felt embarrassed himself, so he turned around and ran away.
Chu Yue had seen many patients suffering in the hospital, and it had been a long time since she met such a lively young person.
Young, energetic, full of purity and enthusiasm, it makes people feel warm inside. She is indeed the cutest person!
For the first time since Chu Yue traveled through time, she truly liked this world.
It seems that her decision to join the army was not wrong at all.
Chu Yue turned around and saw Lu Yuanbao standing there in a daze, obviously frightened by Song Qi's sudden decision.
Chu Yue patted his head and said, "Yuanbao, it's time to eat."
The evening lunch box was much simpler than the lunch at noon. It was the same old stir-fried shredded potatoes, and the other two were also vegetarian dishes. They should have been what Song Qi got in the army canteen. Due to the shortage of supplies, the soldiers ate these.
There was still some braised pork belly left from lunch, so Chu Yue lit a fire and boiled some water, then heated it up in the only big iron pot she had.
At dinner, she gave all the braised pork belly to Lu Yuanbao, and taught him to put the white rice in the pork belly gravy, which made the fragrant meat taste better when mixed with rice.
The shiny meat is wrapped in crystal clear white rice, emitting curls of hot steam, and it is so fragrant.
Lu Yuanbao changed his voracious eating habits at noon, and looked at the fragrant gravy mixed with rice, but he held the chopsticks and did not move for a long time.
He tilted his head for a while, and finally pushed the aluminum lunch box in front of Chu Yue.
With his dark eyes shining, he said to Chu Yue, "Meat, this is for you."
