"Mom, Mom..."
As soon as Shen Jiao arrived at her door, a chubby little kid rushed over and hugged her thighs.
Chen Jiao rubbed the little girl's head and took her hand, which was now like a meat bun. "Mom brought you some cakes. Let's go home and eat some."
While Chen Jiao was talking to Nannan, Wu Guilan had already taken the backpack from her back.
"Jiaojiao, are you tired? Mom made you some brown sugar eggs. Come, have a sip first."
After Wu Guilan took the backpack into the house and placed it in the room, she immediately handed a bowl of brown sugar and eggs to Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao didn't hesitate and ate the eggs directly, even drinking up the brown sugar water, "Thank you, Mom."
Wu Guilan took the empty bowl and smiled, "Jiaojiao, how are you today?"
Chen Jiao knew that Wu Guilan was asking about the chef application, and she smiled happily, "Mom, I passed the exam! From now on, I will be the chef of the third state-owned restaurant in our county."
Wu Guilan heaved a sigh of relief, the corners of her mouth raised in a big arc, and the wrinkles on her face were full of smiles, "It's good that you passed the exam, it's good that you passed the exam."
Then, she shouted into the house: "Zhengxu, did you hear that? Your wife passed the exam!"
Chen Jiao also entered the room, ready to tell Lu Zhengxu the good news in person.
As soon as she entered the door, she met Lu Zhengxu's deep eyes, "Wife, you're back."
For some reason, Chen Jiao always felt that there seemed to be some grievance hidden in Lu Zhengxu's deep starry eyes today.
Chen Jiao subconsciously thought that Lu Zhengxu was sad because he had sent out the discharge application letter today.
After all, for a person of faith, asking him to give up the career he loves is a blow no less than giving up his life.
Chen Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Don't be sad. Wait until you are well again. If you still want to join the army, just sign up for it."
"Wife, if I join the army again, I may still be on missions frequently, and I may not be able to come back for a mission for a few months at least, or even several years at most. Can you accept that?" Lu Zhengxu looked at Chen Jiao and asked.
"I can accept it." Chen Jiao answered without thinking. By that time, she would probably have divorced Lu Zhengxu. She would go to college, become a chef, and open her own restaurant all over the country. How would she have time to think about men?
"Oh." Lu Zhengxu responded softly and lowered his eyelids.
Shen Jiao just felt that Lu Zhengxu was a little weird today, but she was in a good mood and didn't notice the man's loss.
He said happily, "Today I bought a chicken, two pounds of fresh meat and a few pounds of bacon. I'm going to make something delicious to celebrate that I have a job and that our family will have a stable income in the future.
You take a rest first. ”
After Shen Jiao finished speaking, she went out.
Lu Zhengxu watched Chen Jiao's back disappear, then he picked up the notebook Chen Jiao gave him and opened it.
After opening it, I saw a letter inside the notebook.
The letter contained a love poem, which was addressed to Brother Yu at the beginning and signed "I love you, Jiaojiao".
The content of the letter was so disgusting that Lu Zhengxu felt like vomiting.
He remembered the night he married Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao looked at him warily with her face trembling, and told him that she had a lover and she only married him because she was defiled by him, there was nothing she could do.
But she would never let him succeed again and would never let her lover down again.
It was also for this reason that he chose to carry out the mission without hesitation on the second day of his marriage.
Originally, he had thought that after he earned the bonus from the mission, he would give Chen Jiao some compensation, divorce her, and let her go and marry his sweetheart.
But he never expected that this mission would take four years to carry out.
After he came back, his children were already able to help with cooking.
Lu Zhengxu read the love poem that Chen Jiao wrote to Chen Haoyu over and over again.
Finally, he folded it up again and put it in the notebook. He tore a page from the notebook and wrote three powerful words on the paper with the tip of his pen: "To Jiaojiao"
After thinking for a while, he folded the paper and put it aside, tore off another piece of paper and wrote, "To my wife"
Looking at the three big words "Daughter-in-law" written on the paper, he nodded with satisfaction.
But when he thought about what to write next, he frowned and even bit the pen subconsciously.
Damn it, love poems and love letters are too difficult to write, even more difficult than reuniting with Duan Qiang!
Shen Jiao knew nothing about Lu Zhengxu's difficulties.
Now is the season when new lotus roots come out. There is a lotus field in the village. After harvesting the millet, the team leader organized the villagers to dig out the lotus roots and distribute them to everyone. Their family also received five kilograms.
Chen Jiao thought that it would be a good opportunity to fry some lotus root meatballs to make braised lion's head, and then stir-fry some fragrant bacon with the wild radish that Wu Guilan had just dug up.
As for the chicken, Wu Guilan uses the dried mushrooms she picked and dried in the summer to make chicken soup, and she can also cook chicken soup noodles tomorrow morning.
In addition, she also plans to stir-fry some vegetables, as supplementing vitamins is essential.
Chen Jiao was busy in the kitchen when Lu Ping and Lu An arrived.
During the time when Lu Zhengxu was awake, Lu Ping and Lu An would come and talk to Lu Zhengxu whenever they had time, and Second Uncle Lu also came often.
Chen Jiao came out from the kitchen.
Lu Ping said, "Sister-in-law, Carpenter Li has already made the small table you wanted, and I brought it back with me."
Chen Jiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Ping. My hands are not convenient. Please help me to let Zhengxu in directly."
Lu Ping and Lu An nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work. We will go in and see Zhengxu first."
When Lu Zhengxu heard the noise, he quickly hid the love poem he had just written.
"Brother Ping, Brother An."
Lu Ping and Lu An greeted him, "Zhengxu, don't move. Do you feel better today?"
Lu Zhengxu nodded, "Much better."
Lu Ping placed the small table he brought back from Carpenter Li's house firmly on the bed.
Lu An looked at the exquisite little table, left and right, and couldn't help but praise: "Sister-in-law is worthy of being from a big city, she has a good brain.
Look how cleverly this small table is designed. It will be very convenient for you to eat, read, and write on it in the future, Zhengxu. ”
Lu Zhengxu's deep eyes showed a rare hint of pride, "Our Jiaojiao is very smart and capable."
"By the way, Brother Ping, you came at the right time, I have something I want to ask you for help.
My wife has been hired as a chef in a state-owned restaurant. It will be more convenient for her to go to work in the city every day, so she needs a bicycle.
I'll write a letter of introduction and give you money. You go to the county public security bureau to find Deputy Director Liang and ask him to help me get a bicycle. ”
