Chapter 475: Disappointing Revisit
Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "Is it convenient for you to carry things?"
Lu Yuxiu lifted the bag and shook it. This amount of weight was nothing.
Lin Xia guessed that he must also want to meet his old comrades, but she didn't know how many old acquaintances were still here.
If the old village chief is capable and the cooperation can be negotiated, she will definitely come many times in the future, but it is not certain whether Lu Yuxiu will have time to come.
The two walked towards the family quarters. Not long after they walked, they slowly saw the family building. A new building was also erected not far away, and it seemed that it had been built not long ago.
"If we hadn't moved, would we have to live in this building?" Lin Xia asked Lu Yuxiu, pointing at the four or five-story building.
"This is probably a new building that is not big enough for people to live in." This building doesn't look like it was built very long ago.
The two were standing on the side of the road talking when a puzzled voice came from behind them: "Who are you looking for?"
Lin Xia turned around and was a little surprised to see the person in front of her. She didn't expect to see an old acquaintance so soon.
"You..." The person in front was a little surprised to see Lin Xia, and the name was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say it out.
"Zhou Hong, long time no see!" Lin Xia laughed and called out her name first.
"Lin Xia!" Zhou Hong exclaimed, and immediately asked, "Why are you here?"
Lin Xia smiled. It was definitely not appropriate to talk about serious matters, so she made an excuse: "I have some free time now, so I'll go around and revisit the old place!"
Zhou Hong held Lin Xia's hand and sighed, "Come to my house and have a seat!"
Lin Xia was originally meeting old friends, so she didn't refuse. However, she knew that Lu Yuxiu would feel uncomfortable following them to chat, so she smiled and asked, "Then I'll go to Zhou Hong's house. Are you going to meet your comrades?"
Zhou Hong said hurriedly: "It's okay, let Captain Lu come and sit with us."
Lu Yuxiu said gently: "You go ahead, I'll go see the leader."
After Lu Yuxiu put the things at Zhou Hong's house, he left.
Lin Xia had just sat down to chat with Zhou Hong when several more people came through the open door. They all heard that Lin Xia was here and came to see what was going on. Soon, people she knew and people she didn't know all came, and the room was suddenly filled with bustle.
As soon as he saw Lin Xia, he started praising her. Noticing that she didn't seem to have changed much, he first asked about her recent situation, and then asked about her clothes.
"Yang Hongmei is with you, right? Why didn't she come back with you?" When talking about former sisters-in-law, many of them retired after several military integrations, and some old faces were rarely seen.
"It's fine, I'm busy at work!"
"Her children are grown up now and can take the college entrance examination. It would be a bit tight for her not to go to work." When my sister-in-law, who used to know me well, heard the news, she immediately became happy.
"Her child is an average student. I think it will be hard for him to get into university." Someone immediately disagreed, "Does Yang Hongmei work in a vegetable market or something?"
At that time, it was difficult for young people to find a good job, let alone women with little education.
Lin Xia was unhappy, so she just smiled and said nothing, and did not explain that Yang Hongmei was doing business with her.
The sisters-in-law next to them started chatting about the children again.
Zhou Hong originally wanted to have a secret chat with Lin Xia, but when he saw so many people chatting, he couldn't help but feel annoyed that he hadn't closed the door.
As they were chatting, there was a knock on the door. My sister-in-law, who was nearby, went to open the door and saw a very imposing man standing at the door. "Who are you looking for?"
Hearing this, Lin Xia turned around and saw that it was Lu Yuxiu as expected. She looked at the time and found that she had been here for almost an hour.
If Lu Yuxiu didn't come again, she would not be able to stay here any longer.
She originally wanted to meet some old friends, but unexpectedly, people she knew and didn't know came, making the room very noisy.
Lin Xia smiled at Zhou Hong and said, "Come visit us when you have time. We have to catch the bus back later, so I'll be leaving first."
Zhou Hong warmly asked him to stay: "Why don't you have lunch at my house? We'll be eating soon."
"It takes several hours by car. Let's come back next time." Lin Xia smiled.
Zhou Hong thought Lin Xia was just being polite, so she could only send her downstairs.
As soon as the two of them left, everyone in the room followed them, looking at Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu standing together. People who didn't know them looked at their appearance in amazement.
Before, they were wondering how such a good-looking person could be paired with a rough soldier. Now, they see that he is a rough soldier with handsome appearance.
After walking out for a while, there was no one behind him, and Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing you're not here. There were a lot of people in the room, looking at me like I was a monkey."
Lu Yuxiu was amused by her description, "Who would describe themselves as a monkey?"
"It's just a monkey. Every time he comes, he becomes more and more strange. People I don't know come up to me and ask me questions. Some even ask me if I'm married and want to introduce me to someone." Lin Xia was speechless when she thought of the scene just now.
Lu Yuxiu was originally amused by Lin Xia, but when he heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Then you didn't say you were married and had a family?"
"Of course I did!" After Lin Xia said this, Lu Yuxiu's face looked better.
Lin Xia was amused by the man's mood changes, "What about you? Which old comrade did you go to see?"
"I went to see our old house. Zhou Zheng happened to be at home, so I went to sit with him." As soon as Lu Yuxiu said this, he knew that Lin Xia would be very curious.
Lin Xia immediately regretted not going with Lu Yuxiu to check it out. "Is there anyone living in our house? How is Zhou Zheng's family? I remember He Xiao seems to be in college too."
Lu Yuxiu said slowly, "Someone lives there, so I took a look outside. Like you, he is studying in Guangcheng and plans to stay in Guangcheng to work, but Zhou Zheng is also going to be transferred to Guangcheng."
Lin Xia was surprised. "Except for the time of exams, we didn't communicate after that. I didn't expect that she was also in Guangcheng."
Although Guangcheng University has few students, the place is still quite large, and it is not easy to meet an acquaintance.
The two of them took a car back to the family compound, carrying things as they walked in the compound, attracting everyone's attention, but no one came forward to ask Lu Yuxiu about the things he was carrying.
But it wasn't so easy for Lin Xia to leave.
"What's in that big bag?" Lu Yuxiu walked into the corridor, staring at it, wanting to open the bag to see what was inside.
It’s not something that can’t be discussed. Lin Xia explained with a smile: “I just bought some dried seafood.”
"Why buy that stuff when you have fresh food instead of eating it?" Some people didn't understand.
Lin Xia didn't plan to explain one by one, and smiled and said perfunctorily: "Eat."
The next day, a fragrance wafted through the family compound, as if someone was stewing chicken soup, or perhaps some other soup.
Lin Xia was busy in the kitchen. The food she bought was to be eaten!
