Chapter 233 You are my wife, so you don’t need to say thank you

After hearing what Su Xiangnan said, Xia Qingli turned around and looked at Lu Jingchen, her eyes full of confusion.

Lu Jingchen saw her confusion and didn’t explain anything, but said:

“Didn’t I say I would take you to a place this morning? Let’s go.”

Then he took the things and walked in front.

Although Xia Qingli was very confused, she didn’t ask any more questions. She said goodbye to Su Xiangnan and followed Lu Jingchen forward.

Mai Yajun’s apology letter was posted on the bulletin board on the new family building, not far from the bus station, so it didn’t take long for the two to arrive.

At that time, people did not have cell phones or the Internet. The source of information in the army was the bulletin boards and promotion boards on both sides of the family area.

The bulletin board was used to publish the latest announcements and important information of the army.

The promotion board was used to publicize and promote various activities.

When the two men walked over, there were several women gathered at the bulletin board. Because they were standing behind them, they didn't notice them and were still discussing the matter:

"So, what we heard before about Captain Lu's wife was all false?"

"Didn't you see? The rumormongers written on it have all been arrested. Those previous rumors must have been false! And they started by saying that Captain Lu was forced to marry that country girl. Look here, Captain Lu has refuted the rumor himself, saying that he married his wife willingly."

"Yes, yes, and they also said that if anyone dares to gossip and spread rumors behind our backs again, they will punish them severely. They have even punished Mai Yajun, the person who spread the message. Don't spread those rumors anymore."

"That's why you can't believe rumors. Didn't they say before that Commander Lu didn't like this country daughter-in-law? Look, he protects her very much."

Xia Qingli stood there, listening to what several people said, and then looked up at the "apology letter" posted there by Mai Yajun. Yesterday, she was still worried about how she would deal with herself in the family compound in the future. At this moment, all these worries were resolved, and the grievances of being misunderstood by others also disappeared.

She knew that Lu Jingzhen went out overnight yesterday to deal with this matter. She was touched and grateful, and turned to look at the man unconsciously.

She felt that he was tall and handsome at the moment. If this was the real world, she would definitely go over and kiss his face, but this was the 1970s, and she was still in the army, so she naturally couldn't have such an intimate behavior.

Since she couldn't do it openly, she would do it secretly. She approached him quietly, put her hand over, and after touching his hand, she bent her index finger and gently pinched the back of his hand.

The itchy touch on the back of his hand made Lu Jingzhen stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Xia Qingxi.

Her bright eyes and slightly raised lips told him that she did it on purpose.

Such blatant and covert teasing startled the usually "serious" Lu, and his heart skipped a beat. It was a bit fresh and exciting.

Just when the two were surrounded by an ambiguous atmosphere, they suddenly heard the women in front of them continue to say:

"Speaking of which, have you seen the country daughter-in-law of Captain Lu?"

"No, but she must not be as pretty as the little daughter of the Mo family."

"Needless to say, can anyone compare to the little daughter of the Mo family? In fact, I think it's a pity for Captain Lu and Mo Xiaoxiao. They are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman! Alas! What a pity..."

Xia Qingli, who was originally immersed in joy and happiness, changed her expression instantly after hearing these words. Seeing that his wife was unhappy, he knew that she must have misunderstood. Lu was shocked and alarmed.

"Ahem!"

Several women were about to continue talking when they heard several deliberately raised coughs from behind.

They turned around and saw that Lu Jingchen had stood behind them without them knowing when.

It was clearly written on the bulletin board that spreading gossip behind people's backs would be severely punished. Now, they were caught red-handed. Almost at the same time, several women showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Before Lu Jingchen could speak, Xia Qingli beside him came up and greeted the women generously:

"Hello, ladies, sister-in-law." She was smiling and her voice was even softer and more pleasant.

Because Lu Jingzhen's face was so shocking, everyone's eyes were focused on him just now. It was not until Xia Qingxi spoke that some people noticed that there was a young lady with excellent looks and figure standing next to Captain Lu.

Just when everyone was confused, they suddenly heard this beautiful girl confidently and generously introduce herself:

"I am Lu Jingzhen's wife. I just came to the army. I will inevitably trouble all the ladies and sisters-in-law in the future. Thank you all here in advance."

What? What did she say? She is Lu Jingzhen's wife?

Several women had surprised expressions on their faces. Didn't others say that Lu Jingzhen's wife looked rustic and ugly? Everyone looked at each other, and then at Xia Qingxi.

Is this called being rustic and ugly?

Moreover, when they heard Mo Xiaoxiao praising her for being a good match for Captain Lu, she was not angry at all, nor did she say anything to embarrass them. She was very generous and magnanimous. She didn't look like an ignorant country girl at all.

At this time, someone took the lead in responding, smiling, looking at Xia Qingxi and saying,

"Oh, it's Captain Lu's wife. It's not a problem. You're so polite. Sister, if you have any difficulties in the future, just ask."

After the woman reminded her, the other sisters-in-law also responded, and began to say that it was not a problem. They also kept praising her for being beautiful and polite, and how well she matched with Captain Lu.

Xia Qingxi seemed to have forgotten that they had just said that Lu Jingxie and Mo Xiaoxiao were a good match, and she kept listening to everyone's conversation with a smile.

Although everyone's compliments to Xia Qingxi were not false, they had just been said behind her back, and it was somewhat awkward for someone else's husband to be with another woman. After a few women talked for a while, they did not stay for long and left.

Xia Qingxi then walked to the bulletin board and read the apology letter carefully. She was a little uncomfortable at first, but after reading the words written by Lu Jingxie in the apology letter, she was immediately moved again.

No wonder Su Xiangnan said that he was overbearing and protective of his wife. Anyone who read his words, which showed his preference and protection for himself, would say that he was "protecting his son."

Lu Jingzhen was about to explain to her that there was nothing between him and that Mo Xiaoxiao, and asked her not to misunderstand him, but she suddenly turned around and said to him seriously:

"Thank you!"

She thanked him so solemnly that Lu was shocked and a little uncomfortable for a while. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"You are my wife, no need to thank me."
