Chapter 42 Urgent Return to the Army

The next day, Su Mo woke up with backache. The man was no longer on the kang. She heard some noises in the room, probably making breakfast.

Su Mo finally understood why those women in later generations said that if they didn't have some ability, they wouldn't marry soldiers. If it was dry, they would die of drought. If it

was wet, they would die of wet. She hadn't experienced the dryness yet, but she felt the wetness, which was really enough.

Lu Changzheng entered the room and saw that Su Mo had woken up. He quickly brought hot water and asked his wife to wash up.

There was no way. He had gone too far last night. If he didn't behave well today, his wife would probably be really annoyed.

Su Mo ignored him and got up to wash up outside.

Lu Changzheng was beside her, carefully saying, "Wife, it's cold, don't use cold water, I've heated up some water." After saying that, he poured out the cold water that Su Mo used to brush her teeth and replaced it with the warm water he had prepared.

Su Mo was really angry and amused to see how he was acting like a bootlicker.

After brushing her teeth, Lu Changzheng rolled up the towel for Su Mo and handed it to her.

"Come on, wife, wipe your face."

Su Mo:...

She glared at him, but Su Mo still took the towel, but she also spoke, "You don't have to do this."

"It's no problem, I'm happy to serve my wife."

Seeing Su Mo wipe her face, Lu Changzheng took the towel, washed it once, and rolled it up again and handed it over. His wife likes to be clean, so she wipes her face several times.

After washing up, Su Mo went to the toilet again, and then went to have breakfast.

Lu Changzheng cooked porridge for breakfast, with pickled vegetables, which he probably got from his parents in the morning. There was a bowl of chicken soup left over from last night, and Lu Changzheng heated it up and gave it to Su Mo.

"After dinner, let's go to the county town. I want to buy some vegetable seeds, some cotton and cloth to make a cotton jacket. It's getting cold, and I didn't bring a cotton jacket. By the

way, I'll call my uncle." Su Mo said. "Okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lu Changzheng agreed immediately. His mission for the next few days was to accompany his wife well, and she could do whatever she wanted.

After dinner, Lu Changzheng washed the dishes, rode his bicycle, and took his wife into the city.

As soon as the couple arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a small car rushing over. In this day and age, small cars are extremely rare, and the couple couldn't help but take a second look.

After passing the young couple, the car suddenly stopped, and a young man got out of the car and shouted to the two.

"Comrade, are you Comrade Lu Changzheng?"

Lu Changzheng stopped and asked, "Yes, what can I do for you?"

The young man ran over quickly, "Great. Comrade Lu Changzheng, I'm from the county armed forces department. I received a call from your unit saying that there is an urgent military matter and you need to return to the unit immediately. We are here to take you to the train station."

There is no train station in Qingxi County, so you have to go to the city.

Lu Changzheng was startled, got off the car and saluted: "Thank you for your hard work, comrade. You go to our brigade headquarters and wait for me. I'll tell my family and we'll be there in an hour at most."

"Okay." The young man said, then ran back to the car and drove to the brigade headquarters.

Although she knew that Lu Changzheng would return to the team in a few days, she was stunned by the fact that he was leaving so suddenly.

"Wife, I can't go to the county town with you." Lu Changzheng was reluctant, but as a soldier, this was his mission. Whenever the motherland needed him, no matter where he was, he would rush there at the first time.

"It's okay, let's go back, I'll help you pack your things." Su Mo said.

"Okay." Lu Changzheng turned the car around and rode to their little home. They didn't say a word along the way.

After returning home, Lu Changzheng parked the car and said, "Wife, you pack up first. I'll go tell my grandfather and my parents."

"Okay." Su Mo nodded.

Lu Changzheng had just washed yesterday's clothes this morning, and they were still wet and hanging on the clothesline. Fortunately, he was wearing casual clothes yesterday. I don't know if he wants to take them with him.

Su Mo returned to the room and took out Lu Changzheng's luggage bag from the kangqin. There were only two sets of military uniforms in it, nothing else.

Su Mo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Thinking that it would take him two or three days to travel by car to return to the army, he needed food on the way. Su Mo quickly started a fire and boiled the dozen eggs in the cupboard.

It is said that a poor family can become rich on the road. Lu Changzheng had given him all his money, so he should not have much money on him. He quickly went back to the kang and counted out ten large group coupons from the small cabinet. He also took some food coupons. It seemed that food coupons were also needed to buy food on the train.

After taking the money coupons, Su Mo didn't know what else to pack. She suddenly felt a little empty in her heart.

After thinking for a while, she took out two cans of luncheon meat from the space, tore off the label paper on the can, and after confirming that there were no other marks on the bottle that could easily be worn, she stuffed them into Lu Changzheng's luggage bag. As for the material problem, the imported products of Friendship Store are different from those in China. When

Lu Changzheng came back, he saw his young wife sitting on the kang with her head down. When she heard the voice, she looked up at him, and her eyes seemed to be a little red.

Lu Changzheng felt a pain in his heart.

"Wife, I'm back."

"Oh... I cooked eggs for you. Please wait a while. Your clothes are all in the luggage bag. There is nothing to pack. Yesterday's clothes are still wet. Do you want to take them with you?" Su Mo quickly stood up and said.

"I won't take it with me. I'll leave it at home."

"Okay. Here, I got you two cans of luncheon meat. You can eat them on the bus. Also, I put 100 yuan and a few grain coupons in your bag. Remember to keep them and don't lose them."

"Wife, I have money on me. You don't need to take it with you. You can spend it. Take the cans of luncheon meat with you. You can keep them for yourself."

"A poor family is rich on the road. Take it with you. It's just in case you need to spend money on the road. Take the canned food with you. If you don't eat it on the road, you can eat it when you get to the team."

Lu Changzheng looked at his wife who was trying her best to act calm, and walked over to hug her.

"Wife, I'm sorry." He must let her go with the army as soon as possible.

"Don't say that. You have to protect your country. This is your mission."

Su Mo was a little confused. When she married Lu Changzheng, she thought that they could just get what they wanted and live together.

But now that she heard that he was leaving, she was reluctant to let him go.

Could it be that she had been alone for a long time, and suddenly she came to a peaceful era and her husband treated her well, so she began to sink?

After hugging her for a while, Lu Changzheng finally let go.

"Wife, I have to go." If it wasn't a particularly urgent matter, the army wouldn't have known that he was married and directly sent the county armed forces to pick him up.

"Well, good. Have a safe trip!" Su Mo said, "Don't worry, I will take care of your grandfather and parents on your behalf."

Lu Changzheng gave her all the money, and he would send money back every month in the future. She was taking care of the elders on his behalf, and there was nothing wrong with that.

The eggs were cooked, and Su Mo went out and picked up the eggs. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything to put them in, so she directly put them in the lunch box she used to eat at the educated youth camp.

Lu Changzheng looked at the lunch box full of eggs and said, "You don't need so many. Just take a few and save the rest for yourself."

"Take them all. I'll buy more here. You'll be in the car for two or three days." Su Mo insisted, "Take the rest too!"

In order to reassure his wife, Lu Changzheng also took a step back, "Okay, I'll take everything, but you really don't need so much money. I'll only take 50."

"Okay." Su Mo didn't insist.

Lu Changzheng took out the bills from his luggage bag, counted out 5 and gave them back to Su Mo, then stuffed the lunch box with eggs into the luggage bag.

"Wife, remember to lock the gates of the courtyard and the house before going to bed at night. If anything happens, go find your parents and elder brother. Don't worry about firewood in winter. I told Lu Guoping yesterday that he will find someone to help you get it. Just give them some money when the time comes." Lu Changzheng said worriedly. "

And don't work too hard. Do farm work if you want to, and don't do it if you don't want to. We don't need those work points. Just be well." "

I will write to you when you get to the army. If you need anything, just write to me or send me a telegram, or call me. I have just written the phone number and put it on the kang table."

Listening to Lu Changzheng's mumbling, Su Mo suddenly had tears in her eyes.

"I know, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself. You have to take care of yourself in the army too, you are a married man now."

Lu Changzheng kissed Su Mo's forehead, "Don't cry! I will come back when I have a vacation."

"Yeah!" Su Mo forced a smile and nodded, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Seeing Su Mo like this, Lu Changzheng felt so distressed that he almost exploded. He hugged Su Mo and kissed her hard again, then picked up the luggage bag and strode out.

He had to leave quickly, if he stayed any longer, he would be reluctant to leave.

Su Mo hurried to follow behind.

When passing by Lu's house, Lu Qing'an and Li Yue'e were already waiting at the door, and Li Yue'e was holding a small bundle in her hand.

"Old Third, Mommy cooked some eggs and made some pancakes for you. Take them with you on the road."

"Mommy, my wife also cooked some eggs." Lu Changzheng took the bag, thinking of giving the eggs back to his parents.

"Take them with you. If you can't finish them on the road, take them back to your comrades. You're in such a hurry. Your family didn't prepare anything for you to take." Li Yue'e held Lu Changzheng's hand as he untied the bag.

The three of them sent Lu Changzheng all the way to the brigade headquarters .

Lu Xingjun, the eldest brother of Lu, was also at the gate of the brigade headquarters at this moment, chatting with the young man who was driving the car. Seeing Lu Changzheng coming, the young man hurried to turn the car around.

"Mom and Daddy, wife, eldest brother, I'm leaving."

"Well, Old Third, don't worry. I'm at home. I'll take care of you." Lu Xingjun said.

Lu Changzheng waved, then turned around and strode towards the car. After Lu Changzheng got on the car, it drove away in a flash.

Li Yue'e looked at her third daughter-in-law with red eyes and felt a little guilty.

Everyone says it's good to marry a soldier, but only the family members of soldiers can understand the taste of it. They can only

stay at home for a few days a year, and they are often worried, afraid that they will hear bad news one day.

Now, there is one more person who is worried.
