Chapter 209 This little Xia is not only beautiful but also gentle

A few days before Xia Qingxi arrived, Lu Jingchen, with the help of his cousins, had already cleaned the family compound assigned to him by the army, arranged all the furniture, laid out new curtains and sheets, and built the toilet that Xia Qingxi cared about the most, and was just waiting for his wife to come.

But on the afternoon before Xia Qingxi arrived, Lu Jingchen suddenly received a temporary mission - to go to the recruit field training camp to do the final talent selection work, and the training lasted four days.

Being in the army, military orders are as strict as mountains. Lu Jingchen naturally cannot disobey orders, but Xia Qingxi will arrive tomorrow, and he must leave the army today and go to the field base, so he certainly cannot go to pick her up.

Originally, he had a photo taken with Xia Qingxi on him, so he could ask someone to take the photo to pick her up, but a few days ago when he was training soldiers, it suddenly rained heavily.

After training in the rain for two hours, his clothes were already soaked. When he remembered that the photo was still in his pocket, he took it out, but the portrait on it could no longer be seen.

Lu Jingchen thought about it and prepared to ask Su Xiangnan to help him pick up Xia Qingxi. After all, they talked on the phone and should have an impression of her voice.

But when Lu Jingzhen went to find Su Xiangnan and told him about this, Su Xiangnan's guard told him that Su Xiangnan was called home by his sister Su Man at noon, saying that his mother suddenly fell ill and asked him to go back to see her.

At this point, Lu Jingzhen could only let his guard pick up Xia Qingxi.

After carefully describing Xia Qingxi's appearance to the guard, Lu Jingzhen gave him a death order:

he must bring his wife back safely!

After explaining these, Lu Jingzhen left the troops and set off for the field training camp.

Su Xiangnan heard that his mother was ill. Although he had some doubts, he still followed his sister back home.

When he got home, he saw his mother Zhou Huiying sitting on the bedside, holding her forehead with her hand, looking listless.

Zhou Huiying was over 50 years old, but she didn't look old. She even had a sense of wisdom and gentleness that came from the years.

"Teacher Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Su Xiangnan walked into the room and sat on a chair beside the bed. He asked without much nervousness on his face.

"You're sick, can't you see it?" Zhou Huiying on the bed had a bad tone. She looked at her son and continued with dissatisfaction:

"You have been living outside and you don't know how to care about your family. If I suddenly die one day, you will probably be the last to know."

"Hey, hey, hey, Teacher Zhou, don't say that. It sounds scary." Su Xiangnan hurriedly stopped his mother, and then continued:

"I care about you, I care about you. I'll call now and ask the doctor to come and see you."

"The doctor came a long time ago. You waited for you to come back and called the doctor. I'm afraid you are really close to death." Zhou Huiying replied calmly.

"Oh, the doctor has come. He has prescribed medicine, right? Come, where is the medicine? I'll feed it to you." Su Xiangnan pretended to be serious, showing his concern for Zhou Huiying.

Zhou Huiying heard that her son wanted to feed her medicine, her face became a little unnatural, and after a moment she said:

"How can I take the medicine at any time? Don't worry about it. I will know when the time comes."

"Well, it can't be taken at any time. Then take it out and let me see what medicine is prescribed..." Su Xiangnan said slowly.

"What are you looking at? You are not a doctor!" Zhou Huiying interrupted her son and said with a guilty conscience.

Su Xiangnan had already realized that his mother was pretending to be sick in order to trick him back. Based on past experience, Su Xiangnan quickly guessed that his mother had gone to such great lengths to ask him back because she must be arranging a blind date for him.

Su Xiangnan smiled and didn't let his mother beat around the bush. He asked directly,

"Mr. Zhou, you should get off the bed. Stop pretending. Tell me, which girl is it this time?"

Zhou Huiying didn't expect that this trick could really fool her son. She quickly sat up from the bed, raised her hand and patted Su Xiangnan on the head, and said,

"Look at you. You are already 25 or 26 years old, and you haven't found a wife to settle down. When I was your age, your elder brother and you were fighting."

"Who said I won't look for her? I haven't met the right one yet. Look at that Mo Zhenzhen you introduced to me last time. She walks like this, looks at people like this..." Su Xiangnan stood up, raised his head high, looked down at the crowd with his nostrils, imitated the way Mo Zhenzhen walked, and continued:

"If I really marry her, Su Yang probably won't be able to see the face of his aunt, but only her two big nostrils."

As he spoke, he deliberately stretched and contracted his nostrils in an exaggerated manner and took a deep breath. He looked very funny.

Zhou Huiying, who was originally still angry, couldn't help laughing out loud when her son teased her. She laughed and scolded:

"This damn child..." She raised her hand and patted her son on the head gently. Her words of blame could not hide her pity:

"Everything you say makes sense." After saying that, she continued:

"Xiao Mo's character is indeed a bit arrogant, but this Xiao Xia is different. She is beautiful, has a good personality, is gentle and quiet, and is also a reporter. Her father and your father were comrades-in-arms before, and later retired to work for the Central Daily News. This girl is very talented. This time she came from the North City specifically to experience the life of the army and write articles to promote the army."

Although the mother praised this "Xiao Xia" to the sky, Su Xiangnan had heard too many words praising the blind date before, and did not show any interest. He replied with a lack of interest:

"Oh."

"What are you saying?" Seeing that her son was not active at all, Zhou Huiying was a little angry and warned:

"You'd better straighten your attitude. Xiaoxia's train will arrive at the station tomorrow afternoon. You should bring your driver Xiao Liu with you to drive to pick her up. Be positive."

"No." Su Xiangnan immediately refused, "I have a training mission tomorrow and don't have time."

"Don't give me that. Your dad said you have nothing to do tomorrow." Zhou Huiying said it out loud, with an expression that said, "Don't try to fool me." Then he said angrily:

"Look at how old you are this year? I tell you, if it doesn't work out this time, you may really be single for the rest of your life!" After

Zhou Huiying finished speaking, she saw that her son was still nonchalant. In order to mobilize his enthusiasm, she continued to popularize the benefits of marriage to him:

"Having someone who understands you is not better than being alone now. Look at me and your father. Although we have some minor frictions in daily life, we have supported each other for most of our lives. Look at you..." She originally wanted to say "your brother and sister-in-law", but when the words came to her lips, she changed her target:

"Look at Jingzhen again, he has such a cold personality! He never mentioned his wife in front of others before, but this time he went back home, he was completely docile, and he immediately applied for a family home after returning to the army, so that he could bring his wife over? So, people can't be single all the time, it's better to have a companion..."

"Okay, okay, Teacher Zhou, I'll go pick her up tomorrow, and try to find a companion for myself as soon as possible!"

Knowing that if he didn't express his opinion, his mother would definitely educate him at length, she was a teacher, and she could easily come up with words to educate people. Su Xiangnan quickly compromised and said that he would go pick her up tomorrow.
