Chapter 53 Returning Home
Lu Wenbin didn’t let Shi Tingyu and the others wait any longer. He bought the train tickets the next day and prepared to send his mother back home.
Lu Wenchan suddenly felt like she had lost her backbone.
She took Aunt Lu's hand and said, "Mom, do you have to go? Can you stay? If you leave, I'll be alone."
Aunt Lu sighed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother and sister-in-law are here, how can you be alone?"
Lu Wenchan snuggled up to her mother and said in a low voice, "If you leave, what if my sister-in-law bullies me? My brother listens to her the most."
Aunt Lu glared and whispered, "How dare she? You are a salaried person. At most, you can pay five or six yuan a month to your brother and others, so that you can still have thirty yuan left, which is not too little."
Lu Wenchan felt a little distressed when she thought about having to pay five or six yuan less every month. Originally, she didn't have to pay a penny when her mother was here.
Aunt Lu could see what she was thinking, but she also knew that her daughter would have to rely on her son in the future, so she tried to comfort her: "I know you are stingy with the money, but if you give it to your brother, it won't be considered as giving it to outsiders. Besides, didn't you find your job here because of your brother's connections? If you stay here, you can find a capable partner in the future."
Lu Wenchan pouted, still unwilling on her face, and muttered: "But when you were here, we didn't pay a penny."
Aunt Lu rolled her eyes at her. "What do you know? I didn't pay because I came to take care of your sister-in-law during her confinement. How dare she ask me for money? You are different. You will live here permanently in the future. It's okay for one or two months, but if it lasts for a long time, you won't have a good life." In the
end, Lu Wenchan didn't care about the money anymore.
Su Qiaoyue held her child and watched her mother-in-law and sister-in-law talking in secret. The rich expressions on their faces opened her eyes.
She knew that what the two were talking about must be related to her, but she didn't care. The troublesome mother-in-law was going back, and she was happy today.
As for the sister-in-law, without her mother-in-law to support her, she went from a noisy sparrow to a shrunken quail.
When Aunt Lu went out, she passed through a long corridor. It was summer, and few houses had their doors closed. They all opened their doors to the corridor to keep the air cool.
Seeing Lu Wenbin carrying a bag and Aunt Lu changing into new clothes, they all looked outside curiously.
A neighbor who was familiar with Aunt Lu asked, "Aunt Lu, where are you going?"
Aunt Lu said embarrassedly, "My daughter-in-law has finished her confinement and the family can't leave me, so I'm going back."
The man was surprised and came out without caring that he was picking leeks in his hand. "You're too sudden. You finally came here, so you should stay a few more days."
Seeing the other person's gossipy expression, Aunt Lu's face turned pale.
Now that things have come to this, those who know their place should say goodbye and let them go.
"I won't stay here anymore. The place is small and inconvenient to live here."
The neighbor looked sympathetic, "Who said it wasn't? A family of several people squeezed in here. It's really not as spacious as the countryside."
But after saying that, she still had no intention of letting the other party leave. She took a few steps closer and lowered her voice and said, "Tell me the truth, Aunt Lu, is it because of the incident with Captain Lu's wife that you left?"
Aunt Lu was miserable. She didn't think it was a big deal when she spread the rumor, but now she became the center of gossip. It was really suffocating. It was
Lu Wenbin who was in front who found something wrong and said, "Sister-
in-law, we have to leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch the car. Mom, you should hurry up and catch up." Aunt Lu seemed to have heard some kind of amnesty. She hurried towards her son and shouted, "Okay, I'll be right there."
The neighbor's sister-in-law curled her lips and went back to the house with the leeks.
I have to have a good chat with the neighbors later.
It is said that this little Lu's wife is really amazing. She sent people back to their hometown just because of a rumor.
But Aunt Lu's mouth is really powerful.
The news that Aunt Lu returned to her hometown quickly spread in the family compound.
Others didn't know, but some neighbors who were close to Aunt Lu knew it. Aunt Lu didn't think about returning to her hometown so soon.
When chatting with them, Aunt Lu often said: Oh, there is nothing to do at home, I plan to stay here for a few more days, and then go back with Binzi for the New Year.
But now it is more than half a year away from the New Year.
Those who are interested naturally know why, and their views on Shi Tingyu have also changed a little. At first, when they didn’t know the identity of her parents, they just thought that she was a beautiful girl with a good family background.
Later, she became a teacher and painted murals, and everyone thought she was capable. Until her family background was revealed, they looked at Shi Tingyu with tinted glasses.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that because of a rumor, Aunt Lu was forced to return to her hometown. This little Lu wife is really amazing.
When everyone gathered in the toilet sink at the end of the corridor to wash clothes, they couldn't help but chat for a few words. Now there was a topic, and everyone was talking about Xiao Lu's wife.
Shi Tingyu became famous again.
But this time, everyone didn't dare to say too much.
Shi Tingyu didn't know all this. At this time, she was listening to the principal talking about the interview.
The interviewers arrived at the school in the afternoon, and at noon, he, the principal, accompanied them to the military district cafeteria for lunch.
Shi Tingyu didn't have any objections to this. She just waited for the interview in the afternoon.
Principal Ren glanced at her and said, "How about you go to lunch with us at noon."
"Is this appropriate?" She didn't really want to have lunch with outsiders.
"Why not? You have a share in the interview this afternoon. You can have lunch together at noon to get acquainted with the people there." Principal Ren thought more and more that it was a good idea, and couldn't help teasing Shi Tingyu, "You may even get to see your little Lu."
Finally, Shi Tingyu was convinced.
The cafeteria knew that people from the radio station and the newspaper were coming, so they were also very alert.
The interviewers went directly to the camp, and the sentry on duty took them to the cafeteria.
These leaders had explained it.
This time, the agency primary school won an honor, and it was also the face of their military region.
There are children of their military region people there.
This is really an honor for them.
Shi Tingyu followed Principal Ren to the camp after the morning class.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, it was not yet time for the soldiers to eat, and the entire cafeteria was filled with interviewers and receptionists.
Shi Tingyu looked at the receptionist who had his back to the door. His towering height and thin waist made him look like her man.
Principal Ren looked at him and laughed, and said to Shi Tingyu: "What was I saying? You're meeting Battalion Commander Lu."
Shi Tingyu was not embarrassed by the teasing. She and Lu Weiguo were husband and wife, and this was not a shame for her.
This interview team was led by two people, one was Sun Qing from the radio station, and the other was Zhou Ming from the newspaper.
In addition to the two people, each group also had reporters, photographers, office staff and others.
When they saw Principal Ren and Shi Tingyu walking towards them, they could not help but be stunned for a moment.
They knew Principal Ren and had seen him when the awards were presented, but they did not know the person next to him.
However, this female comrade really looked like a fairy.
This Jinling Military Region is really interesting. Some people are as fierce as gang bosses, and some are as beautiful as fairies in the sky.
