Chapter 049 Subconsciously swallowed his saliva
Although people should not be too gossipy, Mrs. Wei agreed.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law knows what to do, but don't think too much. Most of the sisters-in-law in the compound are good. You know the ones that are difficult to get along with, like Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang's wife and a few other sisters-in-law. But they all said it in private, so just turn a blind eye and ignore it. If someone says something in front of me next time, I will tell you when you come back."
Sister Wei likes Su Wan very much. Even if she doesn't give her clothes, she will tell her.
What's more, Su Wan also gave her a dress. She had seen this dress in a state-owned store. It cost eighty or ninety yuan, but it was not as pretty as this dress. She felt even more that Su Wan was really sincere.
Su Wan thanked her and asked Sister Wei to come home for dinner tomorrow.
Mrs. Wei waved her hand and said, "I won't come. If I come to eat, you'll have to invite other people to eat. That way, there will be several tables of food. Who can afford to spend money like this?"
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"
"We're all family, no need to thank me. I'm going back now. If you want any vegetables, just go to my garden and pick them."
"good."
After seeing off Mrs. Wei, Su Wan stretched and planned to take a nap.
Not long after entering the house, Chen Yuan brought someone back.
Looking at the strange man in front of him, before Su Wan could speak, Chen Yuan introduced him, "Brother Lin, this is my wife Su Wan, and Wan Wan, this is the newly appointed deputy commander of the army."
"Hello, Brother Lin, please come home and sit for a while. I'll go get some tea."
Su Wan greeted him, and Lin Wu patted Chen Yuan's shoulder cheerfully, "You're lucky, kid. Your sister-in-law is pretty and capable."
After entering the house, Lin Wu said to Su Wan, "Do you want to go to Pengcheng to do business?"
After pouring the tea and handing it to Lin Wu, Su Wan poured a glass of boiled water for Chen Yuan, then sat down and said, "Pengcheng is now a special zone for reform and opening up. I want to go there and open a building materials store, but I don't have enough capital right now, so I need to save some more."
"I'll have someone issue you a pass. If you need any help, you can contact an old comrade of mine. He's currently working in the Pengcheng Special Zone and can help with any small tasks."
Lin Wu handed Su Wan a contact number. "His name is Zhou Weiliang. I've already contacted him. Just tell him you're Yuanzi's wife and he'll know."
"Thank you, Brother Lin!"
"Why are you being so polite? Yuanzi and I were brothers who went through thick and thin together. Unfortunately, we were never in the same unit. Now that we're finally in the same unit, he's going off for further training. If you need any help, just come to me and I'll do my best to help you."
Su Wan agreed with a smile.
Lin Wu in front of her was not as handsome as Chen Yuan. He was the kind of rough guy you see in books, tall and big. His sturdy figure could be seen even in his military uniform. Su Wan felt that he could kill her with just one punch.
Thinking of the popular rough-and-tumble novels in her previous life, Su Wan couldn't help but ask, "Is Brother Lin married?"
Chen Yuan was stunned.
Lin Wu didn't think much of it and said with a laugh, "Why would I want to get married? I want to dedicate my whole life to the country. Besides, girls nowadays are timid. They would run away when they see a big and strong guy like me."
The army did mention finding a partner for him, but Lin Wu rejected it.
He felt that given his situation, marrying a woman would only delay others, so it would be better not to get married and avoid so much trouble.
"Brother Lin has a cheerful personality, so I think a lot of girls will like him."
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't seem very happy, Su Wan immediately said, "If there's someone suitable later, I'll introduce her to Brother Lin."
"It's fine if you don't mind the trouble. I'm just worried the girls will run away when they see me."
Seeing that Su Wan seemed serious, Lin Wu did not refuse her kindness.
He touched his head and said, "If it's not too much trouble for my sister-in-law, you can introduce me to someone suitable. I may be a bit rough, but I will definitely be responsible to my wife."
The three were talking about Pengcheng Special Zone when Su Jianguo came back from outside.
He booked a room in a guesthouse outside and took a nap. He came over now to see if there was anything he could do to help.
When he returned to the house, he saw a stranger.
Chen Yuan introduced Lin Wu quickly. He said that Lin Wu was cheerful to everyone, but he looked too gangster-like. Even when he was smiling, he looked intimidating.
"Brother Lin, let's eat at home tonight. I'll cook."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Lin Wu is a free and easy person, unlike other people who are shy.
Su Wan went to cook. She bought a lot of meat when she came back today. The temperature was not high, so she could marinate it with salt overnight to prevent it from going bad.
She cooked a plate of Dongpo pork, roasted half a duck, made a pot of lamb chop soup, and stir-fried two vegetables before eating.
Lin Wu had just been transferred here and was resting for the past two days. He and Su Jianguo each had a glass of wine.
After dinner, Su Jianguo and Lin Wu both drank a little too much.
Lin Wu had a good alcohol tolerance, so he helped the staggering Su Jianguo to the guesthouse.
Su Wan cleaned up the dishes, and Chen Yuan immediately held her hand, "You've been tired all day, let me clean up!"
"Rest as much as you can now, and don't do any work."
Unwilling to let Chen Yuan work, Su Wan simply pulled him to sit on a chair and said, "You take a good rest, I'll do it myself."
She packed up her things swiftly, and Chen Yuan didn't really take a rest, but was sweeping the floor with a broom.
By the time he finished sweeping the floor, Su Wan's dishes had already been washed.
It was already dark outside, and the two returned to the room. Su Wan boiled some water, washed Chen Yuan's face, and let him soak his feet before washing her own face and feet.
When she finished her work and was about to rest in bed, she found Chen Yuan half lying on the bed looking at her.
His eyes were deep and he stared at Su Wan without blinking.
After waiting for a while, Su Wan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Yuan moved closer to the bed and whispered, "I have to go out early the day after tomorrow."
Su Wan replied as she took off her coat, "I know. I'll pack all your clothes and shoes tomorrow. I've thought about it, and if you go to study, I'll give you 300 yuan. I visit you once a month anyway, so I'll give you 100 yuan each time, so you won't have to worry about running out of money."
Chen Yuan's eyes deepened. "Wanwan, these three hundred dollars are enough for me to spend for two or three years."
It doesn't cost much to improve his food every month, and he hardly smokes, so it doesn't cost much.
"Here, take it. At your age, you should eat more meat. Don't be stingy with your money. We may not have a lot of money right now, but we have small savings too. Eat what you need and don't think about saving."
Su Wan was lying on the bed and looked back at Chen Yuan, only to meet his enlarged handsome face.
Their lips were a few centimeters apart, and smelling the faint fragrance, Chen Yuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
