Chapter 21 Eyes
Watching the car going farther and farther away, Shi Tingyu felt an indescribable melancholy in her heart.
Lu Weiguo reached out and held her hand, "This year's New Year, let's go back to our hometown, and we can see each other then."
It was the end of May, and there was still more than half a year until the end of the year. Shi Tingyu suddenly felt that time was passing so slowly.
After seeing her parents off, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo returned to the family compound of the institute, but they happened to see the searchers moving things.
After the things were handed in, the house would be taken back.
They had already taken away everything they should take in the house, and they couldn't take away the remaining large pieces of furniture even if they wanted to.
Shi Tingyu just stood by and watched, feeling very uncomfortable. Although she had only lived here for a short period of time, the feeling she had here was different.
The neighbor who used to greet each other, now saw her as if she had seen some plague god.
At this time, a man in his fifties wearing glasses came down from the upstairs. He stopped when he saw Shi Tingyu and called out, "Xiaoyu?"
Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo both turned around to look.
The man was Professor Li. It was him that Shi's father went to find out about Lu Weiguo.
"Uncle Li." Shi Tingyu called out.
Professor Li smiled and nodded, and then saw the closed door of the Shi family, and was quite emotional.
"Xiaoyu, Battalion Commander Lu is a reliable person. If you live a good life with him, your parents will feel more at ease."
Lu Weiguo looked at the other person in surprise. This man knew him?
Shi Tingyu thanked him solemnly, "I will."
She was grateful to anyone who could come and greet her at this time.
Finally, Professor Li patted Shi Tingyu on the shoulder and left with a somewhat lonely look.
The story of Shi Qian and his wife spread throughout the institute's family courtyard.
Some young people who didn't know the situation would probably curse them, but colleagues who had worked with the Shi couple for a long time knew that the Shi family was being framed.
However, for such a thing where no evidence could be found at all, a good researcher was sent to the countryside.
They lamented that things in the world are impermanent, and some people feel sorry for their own kind.
This time it was the Shi family, will it be them next time?
Seeing that Shi Tingyu was a little sad, Lu Weiguo said, "Let's go home." Watching them here would only make him more sad.
Shi Tingyu looked back at him, his eyes were full of determination, and Professor Li's words just now seemed to echo in her mind again.
Captain Lu is a reliable man, and she should live a good life with him.
Suddenly, she stretched
out her hand to him. Lu Weiguo lowered his eyes, looked at the pair of white and tender hands, raised his hand and held them tightly.
Back at the military family compound, Shi Tingyu looked at the flowers that had been replanted yesterday, and finally felt something familiar.
She returned to her room and wrote a letter to Shi Muchan, telling him about her parents being sent down.
Lu Weiguo helped to mail the letter.
Shi Tingyu wanted to cook in the evening, but Lu Weiguo didn't let her. He brought her food from the cafeteria. A lot of things had happened to her, so she should rest a little longer today.
Shi Tingyu didn't say much, she felt the other party's kindness.
Life must go on, she thought secretly in her heart, she will get back on track tomorrow.
The next morning, Lu Weiguo still had a day off, so he took Shi Tingyu to familiarize herself with the daily routine.
Especially the supply trucks that travel between the military area and the town every three days. If the wives of soldiers go to the town to buy something, they like to take a ride.
Otherwise, they have to walk there by themselves or ride a bicycle.
But bicycles in this era are very expensive, and not many families have them, so it is not as convenient as taking a ride.
Today is the first time that everyone in the family compound has officially met the legendary wife of Battalion Commander Lu.
Although they have heard about the beauty of Battalion Commander Lu's wife, they were still stunned when they saw her today.
Isn't this too beautiful?
Especially when standing next to the ferocious Captain Lu, the contrast was even more obvious.
Lu Weiguo helped Shi Tingyu onto the supply vehicle, and everyone subconsciously made way for her.
It was not that they gave up their seats to Shi Tingyu, but Captain Lu's intimidation was too strong, and they were a little timid.
Seeing Shi Tingyu sitting well, Lu Weiguo went to the front driver's cab and squeezed with the soldiers inside.
As soon as he left, the expressions of the military wives in the car relaxed.
Just now, when Captain Lu was watching, they didn't dare to breathe heavily, but when they met Shi Tingyu's beautiful face, some of the people who were originally carefree suddenly became shy.
A long-haired woman wearing a dacron shirt next to him broke the silence first, "Xiao Shi, right? I'm from Instructor Feng's family. You can just call me Sister Feng. My husband and your husband have been partners for many years. If you have any questions in the future, just come to me."
Sister Feng heard about the Shi family from Feng Wei and expressed sympathy for Shi Tingyu's experience.
Shi Tingyu smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Feng."
Seeing that Shi Tingyu had a smile on his face and didn't look down on others, the other sisters-in-law also started to talk to him.
"Xiao Shi, you are not afraid of your Captain Lu's cold face at all?"
"Yes, sister-in-law Shi, I just saw Captain Lu, and my legs are shaking."
"If you ask me, Captain Lu is still lucky to find such a beautiful person like sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, your hands are so beautiful. Like tender green onions." Someone looked at Shi Tingyu's hands on her knees, and envied her in her heart, and it came out in her words.
Shi Tingyu felt that she was in a busy city, and her face was stiff with smile.
Among these people, those who called her Xiao Shi were those who had higher official positions than Lu Weiguo, or were equal to Lu Weiguo, and those who called her sister-in-law were those whose men in the family did not have a higher position than Lu Weiguo.
Lu Weiguo told her all this.
Maybe Lu Weiguo is so special that some sisters-in-law are always curious about how they get along.
Among so many eyes, Shi Tingyu felt a special gaze.
She tilted her head to look, and to her right was a woman with two braided hair. The woman was fair-skinned and pretty for that era.
Her eyes met Shi Tingyu's, and Shi Tingyu clearly felt the other's guilt.
Shi Tingyu retracted his gaze, and soon, the scrutinizing gaze came over again.
This time Shi Tingyu did not turn his head to look, and just thought that the eye contact just now was an accident.
But he stole a glance at the other's face with the rest of his eyes. He would ask Lu Weiguo if this person knew him.
It was impossible for her, who had just been married for a few days, to have any intersection with him.
The supply truck stopped in the town.
The hood of the supply truck was quite high. When Lu Weiguo saw the truck stop, he got out and waited in front of the hood.
When it was Shi Tingyu's turn to get off the car, he stretched out his hand to her.
Shi Tingyu handed her her hand. Since he held her hand last time, Shi Tingyu felt very comfortable holding hands now.
Lu Weiguo almost half supported and half hugged Shi Tingyu to get off the car.
He nodded to several sisters-in-law and took Shi Tingyu away.
This time they planned to buy some vegetable seeds and plant them in the yard.
Shi Tingyu had a spiritual spring, and she believed that the vegetables would grow well. Shi
Tingyu had never planted vegetables, whether before or after the time travel, but she knew how to plant flowers, and the principles were similar.
As for what vegetables were suitable to plant in this season, it depended on Lu Weiguo.
Lu Weiguo is indeed from the countryside. He bought cucumbers, tomatoes, loofahs, eggplants and peppers, and also bought some green onions. When the time comes, he will plant them in the ground and they will be eaten for a long time.
