Chapter 138: A thief broke into the house?
Lin Xia was tidying up at home. After the sun had been shining for a day, Lin Xia saw that the ground in the yard was slightly dry, so she started to tidy up.
The seedlings are already as tall as my calves, so there is no need to remove the branches they are tied to. July and August are when there are many typhoons, so this will avoid further trouble next time.
Lin Xia moved the stone that was pressing down the oil painted cloth, and opened it to see that all the vegetables were still alive except for some that were pressed down by the cloth. They had been planted for more than a month, and the leaves were green and growing well. After being nourished by the rain, they would probably be even better.
I work for a while and then take a break. I don’t feel very tired. But when I sit down quietly, I will think of Lu Yuxiu unconsciously. I don’t know when he will come back.
The next day, Lin Xia took the little one out early in the morning and asked Yang Hongmei to go shopping for groceries together.
As the weather got hot, she wore a short-sleeved shirt, and her slightly bulging belly was somewhat noticeable, mainly because she was not fat to begin with.
Halfway through the walk, Zhao Xianglan also came. She smiled happily when she saw her, and the few of them chatted and laughed.
Lin Xia saw a young woman in front of her turned her head and looked at her. Her movement was quite large, and their eyes met. The other person looked at Lin Xia's belly several times.
Yang Hongmei saw it, said nothing, and walked away slightly quicker.
This was exactly what Lin Xia wanted. She also wanted to leave quickly. The other person's eyes looked strange. Although there was no hostility, she still decided to stay away from her.
Only after they walked away did Yang Hongmei whisper, "That's Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou's wife. She might have heard us talking about your pregnancy."
Lin Xia was a little confused. Her pregnancy was not a big deal, so why did it attract other people's attention?
"It seems like she isn't pregnant yet?" Zhao Xianglan said with emotion, as if she remembered something.
"Yes, I heard that she has seen a doctor and taken a lot of medicine, but she just can't get pregnant." Yang Hongmei's tone was full of pity. She is also a woman. Although she has not been troubled by not being able to get pregnant, she was also terrified when she gave birth to her first child.
It was not until she gave birth to a boy that she gained a stable foothold in her husband's family. When her second child was also a boy, she wanted to join the army, but her mother-in-law disagreed. Finally, she said that the child had grown up and did not recognize his father. Only then did her mother-in-law agree.
Lin Xia then understood why that person looked at her like that, but she still felt that the look was not right. Since she didn't know him and had no dealings with him, she didn't take it to heart.
"Come to think of it, there is another pregnant woman in our family quarters, who is only one month older than you." Zhao Xianglan thought as she looked at Lin Xia's belly.
"Are you talking about Captain Hu's wife?" Yang Hongmei suddenly remembered, and the expression on her face was indescribable.
"It's her." Zhao Xianglan wanted to laugh when she thought of this person.
"Who is it?" Lin Xia saw that Yang Hongmei's face looked strange and asked curiously.
"She used to live in your house. She was the one Captain Hu married later. She had a terrible personality. Fortunately, she moved to the staff housing estate." Yang Hongmei felt a headache when she thought of her. Fortunately, she moved to the staff housing estate.
Lin Xia found it a little funny to see Yang Hongmei having such a headache, but she didn't know what to say since she had never seen it before.
Zhao Xianglan also had a sad look on her face, but she found it somewhat funny to see Yang Hongmei having a headache.
When they arrived at the market, Lin Xia immediately started shopping.
Yesterday I had to trouble someone else to bring me things, so I could only buy a few things casually. Now I can buy things by myself, and it feels great to buy whatever I want.
By the time her bag was bulging and her hands were full, Yang Hongmei and Zhao Xianglan were no longer surprised, as they were used to it and even helped her carry some things.
Lin Xia arrived home with lots of bags. She sat on the sofa to relax for a while. When she was hungry, she ate some snacks and read a book. Then it was noon.
Lin Xia then got up and started to show off her cooking skills, pan-fried hairtail, casserole with shrimp and vermicelli, and a vegetable. Even though Lu Yuxiu was not at home, the meal was still very sumptuous.
Lin Xia's appetite is now quite big. She eats less staple food and more vegetables. In the end, there is not much left of the three dishes.
I also took the little one to class in the afternoon. After finishing the class, I sewed the diaper and took An An upstairs early to read a story while he leaned on the bed.
Not long after she lay down, Lin Xia felt a slight noise coming from downstairs, perhaps because she was pregnant but her ears became more sensitive.
Lin Xia didn't care at first, thinking it could be a mouse, so she didn't pay attention to it. Just as she was about to go to sleep, she heard another soft sound.
Maybe she sensed something, but Lin Xia lost all her sleepiness and her heartbeat quickened. Was there a thief? Or was there something dirty?
Although this is the military area, what if? Lin Xia's mind was full of thoughts, and a mess of thoughts came to his mind for a while.
Her heart was beating fast and her palms began to sweat. Lin Xia got up quietly. She didn't dare to turn on the light. She picked up the stick behind the door and gently opened it.
Unable to wait until the bad guys went upstairs to the bedroom, Lin Xia took the stick and moved quietly, preparing to go downstairs to check.
When I reached the stairs, I felt something was wrong. The lights downstairs were on. Even a thief wouldn't be so bold as to turn on the lights to steal things, right?
Suddenly, Lin Xia thought of another possibility, her eyes lit up and she went downstairs.
Perhaps he heard her footsteps, the man came out of the kitchen. He was wearing a gray military uniform, his face was much darker and he was much thinner.
Seeing her startled, he said, "Why aren't you asleep? Did I wake you up?"
Lin Xia put down the stick in her hand and ran over to hug him, her eyes a little moist. It would have been better if they hadn't seen each other, but when she saw him, all the longing in her heart came out.
"Are you guys home okay?" After hugging them, Lu Yuxiu finally felt his heart filled.
They also rushed back overnight and could have rested in the camp, but they always felt that something was missing and couldn't help but want to come back and take a look.
"I'm fine. Are you...hurt?" Suddenly remembering something, Lin Xia touched her whole body.
"You're really not hurt." Lu Yuxiu grabbed her hand and said gently.
Lin Xia reached out and touched his face. He was obviously very thin. All the flesh she had built up before was gone. She felt a little distressed, but couldn't say anything.
"Are you hungry?" Lin Xia remembered that he came out of the kitchen, and he must be hungry and looking for something to eat.
Lu Yuxiu nodded helplessly. Their kitchen was really clean and there were never any leftovers. He had been searching for a long time but couldn't find it, so he was thinking of cooking some noodles.
"I'll do it." Lin Xia also remembered that there was no refrigerator, and she was afraid that there would be problems if there were leftovers the next day, so she cooked according to the prescribed amount in the evening.
I went to the storage room to get noodles, eggs and dried shrimps to prepare the noodles.
Fry the eggs into poached eggs and add the dried shrimps into the pan. Add water directly to the pan where the eggs were fried and the noodle soup will be milky white. Add some vegetables and it will instantly become rich.
Lin Xia knew how much a man eats, so she cooked a full bowl of noodles. It was fine before she was pregnant, but she gets hungry quickly after she got pregnant. Now, she couldn't help herself as her mouth was watering when she smelled the fragrance.
Seeing her cooking in her pajamas, he couldn't help but walk up to her and hug her. As soon as he stretched out his hand, it touched her stomach and his hand froze immediately.
This is....
