Chapter 28 No more free meals!

"Su Mei, Su Mei, you are so wicked. Huo Jianguo already has Bai Yueguang in his heart, but you are morally blackmailing him to marry you. Tsk tsk!!" Su Mei complained while pulling out a book from the table and putting the photo in it.

Then she took out a Hero brand ballpoint pen and began to take notes in her notebook.

While cleaning the room, Su Mei found a whole box of unused ballpoint pens and a handful of refills, all of which were left behind by Huo Jianguo.

This old-fashioned ballpoint pen has a simple style, but writes fluently and clearly.

Things from the 1970s and 1980s may not be so fashionable and high-end, but the quality is very good. Unlike later generations, there are a wide variety of products, but the quality is not satisfactory.

Mainly because this is a slow-paced era, people are more pragmatic, money is tight in everyone's hands, and they are very selective when buying things.

Unlike later generations, people’s desire to shop has been cultivated, and many people have become slaves to fast-moving consumer goods.

After writing for a while, Su Mei felt her fat hands holding the pen were sore. In order to flex her body, she put the pen aside, stood up and twisted around in the room.

In her previous life, Su Mei was busy with work and had no time to exercise, so she learned some simple yoga.

She thought yoga movements also had a certain effect in losing weight and shaping the body, so she tried some simple movements that she could do.

"Su Mei, you are twisting and turning like a maggot, what are you doing?" Just when Su Mei was twisting and turning until sweaty, a puzzled voice suddenly came from the door.

Su Mei, who was concentrating on the movements, was startled. She was standing on one foot and suddenly lost her balance and fell to the ground. She turned around and looked at Aunt Wang and said:

"How come you walk so quietly? You almost scared me to death."

"How can you be so exaggerated? I even called Jiang Wei to have lunch next door. You were too engrossed and didn't notice it!" Aunt Wang looked at Su Mei with a smile, and then asked again:

"What were you doing just now?"

"Do some exercise and sweat." Su Mei took the towel from the washstand to wipe the sweat off her face and said, "I want to lose weight. I'm so fat that I have difficulty walking.

So Auntie Wang, don’t always think about calling me to eat, otherwise it will hinder my weight loss journey.”

"You can lose weight by twisting like this? When I went out, I heard you say you wanted to lose weight, so I came to call you for dinner two hours late." After saying that, Auntie Wang glanced at Su Mei again and said with a smile:

"You should lose weight, otherwise it will be difficult to have a baby."

How come the conversation turned to having children? Su Mei held her forehead with her hand. She and Huo Jianguo were innocent. "I can't reproduce asexually by myself!"

"What are you talking about? You should lose weight and get rid of those bad habits. It's only a matter of time before that couple falls in love with each other, living under the same roof!" Aunt Wang winked at Su Mei with the eyes of an experienced person.

Su Mei said nothing.

I thought to myself that the fire was still burning! She has a white moonlight.

No matter how good she becomes, she still has to give room to Bai Yueguang. It turns out that Su Mei still wants to try to save this marriage and live a good life with Huo Jianguo.

Now that she had seen the photo, she no longer had such thoughts. She would never do such a thing as to disrupt other people's love.

A forced melon is not sweet. Even if she and Huo Jianguo can live together, as long as he still has Bai Yueguang in his heart, he will annoy her for the rest of her life. She doesn't want to make herself angry.

After following Aunt Wang out of the house, the two called Jiang Wei and went to eat next door together.

Aunt Wang only gave Su Mei half a bowl of noodles. It seemed that she really took Su Mei's words about losing weight to heart.

Su Mei chewed her food slowly, mouthful by mouthful. She heard that the slower you eat, the easier it is to feel full.

I don’t know who said this, but Su Mei felt the same as if she hadn’t eaten anything after finishing the meal, and her stomach was empty.

No wonder so many fat people can’t lose weight. It is indeed a very painful thing.

After putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Su Mei said hello to Aunt Wang and went out. She still had to go out for a walk after the meal to digest the food, otherwise the food would accumulate in the intestines and the nutrients would be absorbed quickly.

As soon as she walked out the door and was still thinking about which way to go, she saw a military jeep driving towards her. However, before it reached her, it stopped in front of the yard where she lived.

Looking up, I saw a man with sword-like eyebrows and cold eyes. He pushed open the driver's door and walked out of the car with his long legs.

Huo Jianguo's legs are incredibly long. Perhaps the legend that "the body below the neck is all legs" refers to men with Huo Jianguo's physique.

Su Mei was thinking that Huo Jianguo's body proportions were as perfect as the golden human skeleton diagram she had seen in the textbook, when she saw that the back door of the car was opened.

Soon after, an elder with half white hair, a stern look and a solemn aura came down from the car.

When she saw this man, Su Mei's body couldn't help but tremble violently. This trembling did not belong to Su Mei, but came from the body's instinctive fear reaction.

The original owner was fearless, but when he saw the elder in front of him, he felt as frightened as a mouse seeing a cat.

This elder has a sharp gaze, and when he looks at people, there is a sense of oppression that leaves them with nowhere to hide.

That kind of oppressive feeling was accumulated bit by bit after layers of fighting on the battlefield and the sedimentation of time. Naturally, the original owner could not bear it.

Even Su Mei couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw this, but she kept her composure and walked towards the elder with a normal expression:

"Hello, Chief Chen!"

This elder who exudes solemnity and mystery is the most noble and honorable leader in the entire frontier corps, Chen Yilon.

"Hello." Chen Yilon nodded to Su Mei. He only said two words, but Su Mei felt as if thousands of troops were charging towards her.

She thought she had concealed her timidity very well, but after hearing the name Chen Yilon, her legs went weak and she almost fell in the snow.

"Comrade Xiao Su, where did you go just now? It looks like you just came back from outside?" The next moment, Chen Yilong's calm and friendly voice rang out.

It seemed as if the oppressive momentum just now was just Su Mei's illusion.

Su Mei adjusted her mood and answered honestly, "I just went to Aunt Wang's house next door to have lunch and just came out.

How come you have time to visit my humble abode today?"

"I came to see Li Yuan. I heard that Li Yuan's surgery was performed by Comrade Su." Chen Yilon first answered Su Mei's question, and then asked casually.

After saying this, Chen Yilong lowered his eyes and thought to himself, when will Su Mei be able to say the word "my humble abode"?

Whenever he saw Huo Jianguo's lover before, she always kept a distance from him and never had the courage to approach him and talk to him. But now she had spoken to him so freely and openly, as if she had become a completely different person.

Su Mei didn't know what Chen Yilong was thinking. Anyway, the fact that she had performed surgery on Li Yuan was already known to everyone, so she naturally answered honestly:

"It's me."

"Comrade Xiao Su, you really can't judge a person by his appearance!" When Chen Yillong spoke, his eyes were always looking directly at the person he was talking to, which made Su Mei particularly uncomfortable.

What is that saying? It means you can't judge a person by his appearance. What it means is that she looks so fat and ugly, she doesn't look like someone who can cure diseases. Is that what it means?

Although she was rubbed a little, Su Mei didn't dare to get angry with this important person. She rubbed the corner of her clothes, lowered her head, and said softly:

"You're flattered!"

"Commander Chen, Li Yuan lives in my house. Didn't you say you wanted to come and see him? Come in with me. It's freezing and snowy here, and it's cold standing outside." Huo Jianguo took over the conversation and then glanced at Su Mei with a slightly warning look.

He didn't expect Su Mei to take the initiative to come up and talk to Chen Yilon. He was worried that Su Mei might accidentally say something wrong and make Chen Yinong angry, so he found the right moment to interrupt their conversation.

Chen Yilong nodded when he heard this: "Let's go in and take a look!"

As he spoke, Chen Yillong took the lead and walked in first.

After Chen Yilong entered, Huo Jianguo glanced at Su Mei and warned her, "Don't go home yet. Go to Aunt Wang's house for a while.

Also, you are not allowed to go to Aunt Wang's place to eat and drink for free. Aunt Wang is an orphan and a widow, and Li Yuan is not an official. The allowance he gets is not enough to support two people.

Don’t you have hands? There is nothing to eat in the kitchen. If you keep eating and drinking for free, I will kick you out even if it is snowing. It is really shameful.”

After scolding Su Mei, Huo Jianguo put his hands behind his back and followed her into the yard without looking back, regardless of how pale Su Mei's face turned.

Su Mei: “…………”

No, this guy is crazy. Aunt Wang was grateful to her and invited her to dinner, so she couldn't refuse the hospitality and ate two meals. Why is that called a free meal?

After all, she saved a life, which was worth a few meals. She didn't plan to eat there every day.

Besides, what else is there to eat in the kitchen except rice, potatoes and pumpkin?

If Chen Yilon hadn't been there, Su Meigao would have gone in to argue with Huo Jianguo.

She rolled her eyes fiercely at Huo Jianguo's back, turned around and walked towards the military area.

She didn't dare go to the vegetable garden. If she went there again and Zhao Ying found out, she would be accused of being a vicious person.

By the way, where is Zhao Yingren?

These few hours have passed, why hasn't she come to find her? Could it be that she found out that she was wrongly accused and is afraid to show up?

Su Mei thought that she would go for a walk to digest the food first, and when she came back, if Zhao Ying still didn't come, she would take the initiative to go to his house.

Anyway, the agreement has been signed. If Zhao Ying wants to violate it, no way.
