Chapter 201: Don't Break Up
"Captain Hu, is there something wrong?" Lu Yuxiu was stunned when he opened the door. Captain Hu was the captain of the neighboring regiment. The two regiments often held competitions and were not strangers to each other.
Captain Hu smiled and said as if he was embarrassed: "I hope I didn't disturb you guys from eating?"
"I'm eating right now, would you like some, Captain?" When Lu Yuxiu heard him say that, he was polite for a moment, but he also knew that he probably wouldn't agree.
As expected, Captain Hu immediately waved his hand upon hearing this. These days, every household does not have enough food. It is okay for a child to eat a few bites of food, but it is embarrassing for an adult of his age to go to other people's homes for meals. He came here today for other things.
"Xiao Lu, this is what happened." Captain Hu told Lu Yuxiu what happened. He came to ask Lin Xia to help with the belly support belt. His tone was polite, but Lu Yuxiu was not very happy after hearing it.
Lin Xia's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is often difficult for her to turn over at night. Sometimes her legs are cramped and swollen. He is reluctant to let Lin Xia do any housework at home. The couple asked to help with one thing as soon as they opened their mouths. Why are they so embarrassed?
Although he was unhappy, Lu Yuxiu did not show it on his face. He just said apologetically: "My wife has been feeling unwell recently, so I can't help you with this."
Captain Hu understood the rejection in these words and felt a little dissatisfied. How could a pregnant woman be so delicate? She couldn't work because she felt uncomfortable? Then who would take care of the family's food and drink? It couldn't be Lu Yuxiu, right?
"Why don't you ask Comrade Lin?" Captain Hu refused to give up easily. He was already over 40 years old and he didn't expect to have a child in his old age. He felt a little excited about the baby in his wife's belly, which meant that he was still strong.
Seeing that Captain Hu didn't understand the refusal, Lu Yuxiu's eyes flashed a hint of coldness, but after all, he was a leader one level higher than him, so it was not easy to directly confront him.
Lin Xia was a little surprised to see that Lu Yuxiu had gone to open the door for a long time and had not returned. She didn't know who he was talking to, so she tilted her head to look towards the gate of the yard.
Captain Hu's gaze just happened to meet his. The other party's eyes lit up and he squeezed past Lu Yuxiu and walked in.
Lin Xia saw the other person's eyes light up and felt a little puzzled. The other person was wearing a military uniform and seemed to be a soldier from the family quarters. She had never seen this person before and didn't know to whom he belonged. Did he want to talk to her about something?
In just a few seconds, Captain Hu stepped past Lu Yuxiu and entered the room. Seeing that he was trying to enter the room forcefully, a hint of impatience and coldness flashed in Lu Yuxiu's eyes.
"You are Comrade Lin, right?" Captain Hu was stunned when he saw Lin Xia's appearance. He really didn't expect that Xiao Lu's wife would look like this.
Lin Xia did not miss the surprise in the other party's eyes. She felt a little unhappy, but she did not know the other party's identity, so she could not act rashly. She did not know the military wives in the family area very well, and she was even less familiar with their husbands.
After the little guy called people, he continued to eat dumplings. It didn’t matter to An An at all who the visitors were. Eating was the most important thing.
Captain Hu saw that the little guy was eating with relish. He could also faintly smell the aroma of the white flour dumplings, as well as a delicious taste. He could vaguely see that the filling inside was white. The child ate half of it in one bite, and couldn't wait to stuff the other half into his mouth. Seeing this, Captain Hu swallowed his saliva and regretted not responding when Lu Yuxiu asked him if he had eaten.
Captain Hu turned his head and looked around. The house no longer looked like it used to. When he and his ex-wife lived there, the house was not new and they were reluctant to spend money on renovations. In addition, the children in the family were naughty, so the house was messy and dirty everywhere. It was completely different from now.
The whole house looked brand new, and the layout inside was very cozy. The sofa placed not far from the dining table didn't look cheap, and there were curtains made of small floral fabrics hanging by the windows. Regimental Leader Hu was secretly surprised when he remembered that Lu Yuxiu had spent a lot of money to renovate the house. He thought it must have cost a lot of money, but he couldn't help but feel a little envious. You could tell at a glance that this house was very comfortable to live in.
Lin Xia saw him looking around, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Yuxiu closing the courtyard door and entering the house. She caught the unhappy look in his eyes, and Lin Xia had some idea in her mind. She interrupted Captain Hu's thoughts and asked with a puzzled expression: "I wonder who you are?"
Captain Hu didn't expect that Lin Xia didn't know him. Seeing that Lu Yuxiu didn't introduce himself, he felt awkward for a moment, so he began to introduce himself. After emphasizing that he was the captain, he explained his purpose.
"I'm sorry, my health is really not convenient. Why don't you ask someone else?" Lin Xia was speechless when she heard his purpose. Seeing that Lu Yuxiu's eyes were becoming more and more impatient, she knew that he must have refused.
Captain Hu didn't expect Lin Xia to refuse directly. He looked down at Lin Xia and realized that he had only looked at Lin Xia's appearance before. Now he realized that Lin Xia had a big belly, but she was much thinner than her belly. When he thought of his wife's fat body, Captain Hu was too embarrassed to speak.
"Haha, I'm so sorry." Captain Hu was a little embarrassed to be rejected by the couple with the same statement. He wanted to change the subject, but he saw the dumplings on the table and said as if possessed by a ghost: "Are we eating dumplings today? They smell so good."
Lin Xia was speechless. Did he want to eat for free by saying this?
She didn't like this man very much. She had heard before that he sent his eldest son to join the army and left his daughter at home to work as a nanny. She thought this man was just a bad father. But today, she saw him coming to get a belly band for Zhao Hehua again, and he seemed to like his child and care about his wife.
That can only mean that if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. Otherwise, why wouldn't he care more about the ex-wife's children? Seeing this, Lin Xia felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Lu Yuxiu heard the subtext of his words, and was feeling impatient, so he pretended not to understand what he meant.
Seeing that no one spoke to him, Captain Hu looked a little embarrassed. He smiled and said a few more words before leaving.
Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Xia sat down and saw that Lu Yuxiu still looked unhappy, so she comforted him, "Don't let this affect the delicious dumplings."
“It’s delicious!”
The little guy didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong just now. He didn't know why his father didn't eat. He picked up the fork and stabbed a dumpling hard, then took a big bite. He puffed up his little face and chewed it for his father to see, and gave Lu Yuxiu a look.
What I mean is, if you don’t eat it now, I’ll eat it all.
Lu Yuxiu was amused by the little guy's appearance. He put aside the things in his mind and began to concentrate on enjoying this delicious meal.
At night, Lin Xia was sleeping soundly in his arms, but Lu Yuxiu was a little thoughtful. If he was not just a battalion commander today, would he not be so passive?
