Chapter 373: Chun'e accompanies the army
Lu Chun'e stayed here for five days, and Zhou Mingli came just after breakfast on the sixth day.
He went to get the certificate in a hurry. He was very happy, but he felt uneasy inside.
He shouldn't have been so anxious. At least he had a little more time. After getting the certificate, he would accompany Chun'e back to tell Lu Dongping so that he wouldn't be so upset for several days.
But when he heard Lu Chun'e say that they were going to get the marriage certificate, his mind went hot and he couldn't think of anything else.
After completing the mission and returning to the team, he said goodbye and rushed to the capital.
Come here, he was mentally prepared. If Lu Dongping wanted to deal with him, he would not even blink an eye.
However, after coming here, Lu Dongping didn't even mention the marriage certificate, and his calmness made him wonder if Chun'e hadn't told her brother about the marriage certificate. In that case, it was better for him to bring it up.
After chatting for a while, Lu Dongping asked, "Is it urgent today? If not, why don't you leave after dinner?"
Zhou Mingli said, "We won't eat this time. We'll sit for a while and leave after Chun'e finishes packing." The capital was some distance away from his military region, so they had to hurry.
Lu Dongping didn't force it. He looked at him and said, "Chun'e, I'll leave it to you. This marriage is for life. You two are together on your own and you like each other. It's not a blind marriage. There are still many days in the future. It's normal for two people to have some bumps in the road, but you are a man. I hope you can be more tolerant and take care of her. If she does anything wrong, you can tell her. If she doesn't listen and doesn't change, come to me. Our Lu family teaches our girls ourselves. If we can't teach them well, we will keep teaching them. We don't want others to teach them."
Before Zhou Mingli could even bring up the matter of getting a marriage certificate, Lu Dongping started talking about all this.
The meaning of the words was clear. Zhou Mingli knew that Lu Dongping knew it, so there was no point in saying anything more.
"Brother, your condition is serious, but I will remember your words. Chun'e is a good girl, and we will live a good life together."
Lu Dongping nodded: "Okay, just remember it and live a good life. You also have a house in Tonghua Lane, so come back and stay for a few days when you are not busy."
Zhou Mingli smiled and said, "Chun'e has only been on internship for a month. She has to go back to school in September, so you'll have to look after her here, big brother."
"What are you saying? She's my own sister. If I don't take care of her, who will?" He was troubled by Zhou Mingli's behavior. He felt that Chun'e was really going to marry far away and he would never see her again. He felt so sad that he forgot that Chun'e would come back in September.
In the room, Wen Wan was also instructing Lu Chun'e.
Lu Chun'e smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll just take a few sets of summer clothes. It'll only be a month, and I'll be back at the end of August."
"You should also bring some thick clothes. You're going to the hospital for an internship, but will you have to live in the military family compound? I heard it's in the mountains there, so it's still cold in the mornings and evenings, and it gets even colder once autumn begins."
After saying that, Wen Wan thought about it, and still bit the bullet and whispered to her: "Well, after you get the marriage certificate, you will be husband and wife, and you will live together. But you are still in school, so you still have to be careful. What if, what if you have a child, what will happen to your studies?"
Lu Chun'e looked at her with a blushing face and didn't say a word for a long time.
"I'm telling you the truth." She could only say this to Lu Chun'e.
Lu Chun'e nodded: "I, I understand." She had forgotten that marriage means having children. So what should she do now? She has already obtained the marriage certificate, which means she is married. What if...
Ah, troubles!
Lu Chun'e didn't have much stuff, just some clothes to change into and some books and notes.
Zhou Mingli said that the accommodation there was ready.
For someone of his level, the house he can apply for in the family compound is quite spacious.
Wen Wan wanted to prepare something for her but didn't know where to start. She could only wait for Lu Chun'e to come over and take a look at the situation.
Zhou Mingli drove over by himself. Lu Dongping and Wen Wan sent him outside the alley and watched Lu Chun'e get in the car. The car was parked outside, and as soon as the sun came out, it heated up the car, and it soon became unbearably hot inside.
It's a little better now. If it's delayed for a while longer until noon, it will be even more uncomfortable. Sitting in it will burn you to death.
Zhou Mingli fastened her seatbelt and opened the car window: "Bear with it for a while, it will be much cooler when the wind blows."
He was right. Once we started driving, it felt much better after a while.
But just this one moment, Lu Chun'e was soaked in sweat.
Zhou Mingli pulled the car over to the side of the road, took a towel, wet it with water, and gave it to her: "Wipe it better."
"I'll do it myself, you drive, don't stop. It's better to run with the wind. It's too uncomfortable to stop." As he said that, he wiped his face, poured water on it, rubbed it a little, and wiped Zhou Mingli.
It feels a little better after wiping it. Although it is hot outside and the wind is hot, it feels much better with the wind blowing.
By the time the car drives out of the city, the temperature inside the car will have dissipated by half.
Only then did Lu Chun'e have the energy to talk to Zhou Mingli.
"Is the house clean?"
Zhou Mingli glanced at her and said, "Actually, I haven't packed everything yet." He came over here right after returning from his mission. "I went to the logistics department to get a bed, and I've got everything ready for it, but I still have to go to the cafeteria for meals, and I haven't got the cooking utensils yet. As for the rest, I want to wait for you to get there and take a look."
"Well, the military district has vehicles going out every day to purchase things. If we need anything, we can go into the city and buy it."
Lu Chun'e nodded: "That's fine, I'll only be staying for a month anyway, I'll look around and see what I need to buy, make a list and buy it slowly."
Zhou Mingli smiled, suppressed the throbbing in his heart and continued driving.
It was not until the sun set in the evening and the weather became cooler that the car started to go into the mountains.
The two of them took a break on the road and found a restaurant in a small county town to have something to eat.
"How long?"
She had never been in a car for such a long time before. Sitting in the seat motionless, her waist and buttocks hurt.
"It's almost time. There are still two hours of mountain road left."
Lu Chun'e hissed, "Didn't they say it's not far from the city?"
"Well, not far. This is a mountain city, and the city is also in the mountains."
Lu Chun'e turned to look at him: "Zhou Mingli, I feel like you are a human trafficker."
Zhou Mingli laughed out loud: "You are right, I am a human trafficker. It is not easy for people from the mountains to find a partner, so I went to the city to find one and brought it back."
Lu Chun'e smiled and pulled him.
In fact, Zhou Mingli's words were still reserved. He said two hours, but the car was on the road for four or five hours. Lu Chun'e took a nap in the car and arrived at the destination in the middle of the night.
The car drove straight to the door. Everyone around was asleep and it was quiet.
Zhou Mingli didn't turn off the engine. He jumped out of the car and opened the door with the help of the light from the front of the car. The lights in the house came on, and then he came out to pick up Lu Chun'e.
"Be careful!"
He carried the few things he brought in by himself without Lu Chun'e's help.
Lu Chun'e rubbed her arms and said, "It's really cool here."
As he said that, he followed him into the house.
I was stunned when I entered the room. I hadn't bought anything yet? Isn't it good to buy it?
The living room is right after the entrance. There is a wooden sofa and coffee table in the living room, and a dining table and chairs next to it.
The house, with its mud walls and tiled roof, was spacious. The bedroom, with its wardrobe and desk, opened from the living room. The bed, covered with a mosquito net, was against the back wall. It wasn't the uniform military color, but pink sheets and a brand new quilt, the cover of which was a satin quilt with a bright red peony pattern.
Looking at the bed, Lu Chun'e thought of the current situation.
Now that they are married, it seems they are going to live together.
Then—I didn't dare to think about it anymore and quickly looked away. As I was looking around, Zhou Mingli came in from outside.
Lu Chun'e turned to look at him: "Isn't this good? We have everything."
"Well, they were all brought over from the logistics department. Just some of the big items. We didn't have time to get the rest."
"Where is the kitchen?"
Zhou Mingli said, "It's right by the door. There's a stove built inside, and the major equipment has been purchased, but it's still not possible to start the fire. It's far from enough." Then he looked at Lu Chun'e and said, "I'll go get some water. Boiling water should be no problem. I've worked up a sweat, so I'll wipe it off and sleep more comfortably."
Having said that, he went outside again.
In weather like this, they could just take a shower with cold water, but now that they have family members, they definitely can't do that. Women are weaker and can't compare with men.
Lu Chun'e also followed him outside, to a small door next to the living room.
The kitchen was indeed just as Zhou Mingli had described, very simple. It had everything, including a stove, a chopping board, and even firewood behind it, but it certainly wasn't possible to light a fire and cook.
"Is this the original house or a new one?"
"Originally, the previous Guo Tuan was transferred, and this place became vacant. Later, I happened to submit a report, and it was assigned to me."
He was not here originally, and was transferred here after further training. It was considered a lateral transfer, but it was also because he had progressed too quickly before, so we wanted to move him to a new position and give him some time to hone his skills.
Lu Chun'e looked at the water in the pot and said, "Just a little bit hot will do."
Zhou Mingli gave her a meaningful look and said, "I still need to boil some water and put it in the kettle. I think you might need it in the middle of the night."
Lu Chun'e didn't understand what he meant. She looked outside and then at her watch: "It probably won't be needed. It's already midnight."
Zhou Mingli was laughing, and Lu Chun'e was confused.
When she finished washing up and was ready to go to bed, Lu Chun'e's previous calmness disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Mingli coaxed her into bed reluctantly.
The two hadn't seen each other for several days. Zhou Mingli had been resisting kissing her all the way, but now he couldn't help it anymore. If he hadn't thought about the midnight, he would have done the whole thing from start to finish.
But thinking that it was the first time for both of us, I should take it slow, so I stayed.
Even so, they had taken all the advantages they deserved. After getting the marriage certificate, they no longer had any worries and could have fun as much as they wanted.
