Chapter 99 Xiao Lu is worried about his wife
Lu Weiguo and his friends are going back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year. According to Shi Tingyu, they should bring a gift when they meet for the first time.
Seeing that she values his family so much, Lu Weiguo feels very touched.
He often hears his comrades talk about how their wives fight with their mothers.
For example, their mothers have one face in front of their comrades, and another face when they are not around.
Another example is that the wife doesn't like her mother-in-law. When her comrades are around, she can still give her a good face, but when they are not around, she calls her an old fool.
He was amazed to hear this.
This good family has been made to be like enemies.
He thinks his parents are good people, and he can tell by looking at the life of his eldest sister-in-law.
After getting married, they lived separately, and just gave some filial money every month, and the sister-in-law could make the decisions at home.
Now seeing his wife like this, he is even less worried about their future relationship.
Everyone is sincere to each other, except for the weird ones.
This time they bought a lot of things, and Lu Weiguo and his wife packed a big bag and sent it to the post office.
Shi Tingyu originally wanted to send some money to Lu's father and mother.
They are Lu Weiguo's parents, and they help take care of her parents who were sent down to the countryside. Now she and Lu Weiguo are living a good life and making a lot of money, so she thought about sending some money to the two elders.
Unexpectedly, Lu Weiguo said, "No need. We just need to give the same amount of filial piety as my eldest brother and his family. My parents won't accept any more, and it won't be good if my eldest brother and his family find out."
After hearing what he said, Shi Tingyu gave up the idea.
Don't let her whim disrupt the original harmony and peace of the Lu family.
But before leaving, Shi Tingyu went to the post office and called Shi Muchan.
They had bought clothes here, so Shi Muchan didn't need to prepare for her parents. Sending too many things to the cowshed could easily cause trouble.
Shi Muchan felt a little guilty when he heard that his sister had prepared everything.
As the eldest son, he did not take on the responsibility of taking care of his parents. Instead, it was Shi Tingyu, the younger sister, who was taking care of it.
Shi Tingyu knew that Shi Muchan had burdens, so she said, "I don't lack money now, so keep your salary for marrying a wife."
Shi Muchan thought that she meant the money her parents gave her, so she didn't say anything.
But he felt a little guilty.
Shi Tingyu didn't think it was a big deal. Shi's father and mother's situation was special, and it was not a good thing to take care of them too much.
Shi Muchan often had to go on missions in the barracks. Because Shi's father and mother were demoted, he was somewhat affected by the army. With so many eyes staring at him, he couldn't do anything.
Even she, a married woman, was talked about for a long time when her family background was known, let alone Shi Muchan.
After the call with her sister ended, Shi Muchan looked a little depressed.
Shen Ziming was the first to notice that he was not in a good mental state. As an instructor who had worked with him for many years, he felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to care about him.
"What happened to you recently? I see that you are not in a good mental state." Shen Ziming sat down beside his bed in the dormitory.
Shi Muhan said, "I'm fine."
"You don't look fine now." Shen Ziming said, "You are like this after receiving the call. Is there something wrong at home?"
He thought of Shi's father and mother being sent down, and the person who could call him was most likely Shi Tingyu.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but tighten. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't resist the delusion in his heart and asked, "Did something happen to Xiaoyu? Is she... not doing well after marriage?"
Shi Muhan glanced at him and didn't miss the worry and anxiety in his eyes. Thinking of what happened during the blind date, his heart turned cold. "Xiaoyu is doing well after marriage. She is very happy, and her brother-in-law likes her very much."
Shen Ziming was in a complicated mood. He didn't know whether he was more relieved or jealous at this time. After all
, the beautiful girl was getting farther and farther away from him.
Since the last time he broke the appointment, his family has been trying to introduce him to someone, but he doesn't want to see any of them and doesn't want any of them.
His relationship with his family has also become much more tense.
He was a political cadre, but he found that he had no idea how to deal with the matter of Shi Tingyu.
Finally, reason prevailed, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and concentrated on counseling Shi Muchan.
It was not known whether Shi Muchan felt that he was annoying, or did not want to talk to him about family matters, but in the end Shi Muchan forced himself to send him away.
On this day, taking advantage of the day off, the family of Zhao Tuan from the family courtyard hosted a dinner party, as a farewell to acquaintances.
In two days, the new head of the regiment transferred from other military regions will take office, and they are also preparing to leave Jinling.
It is said that the army is transient even though the barracks are permanent.
This was just a sentence before, but everyone was deeply touched at this moment.
Shi Tingyu came early to help the regiment commander's wife, and also came with Liu Xiaohong, Su Qiaoyue, Zhang's wife, Feng's wife, etc.
The men in their families were all soldiers under Zhao's command.
This time, the direct leader was to be transferred to other military regions, and these old subordinates also had to see him off. Shi
Tingyu and her friends did not come empty-handed.
She brought some chestnuts and vegetables grown at home.
After seeing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Your vegetables are the best. We grow the same vegetables, but ours are just not as delicious as yours."
"That's right. Captain Lu sent some vegetables to our old Feng before. He talked about it for a long time after eating it."
The sister-in-law of the regiment commander was a little surprised after hearing this. "Really? Then I have to taste it carefully. I am lucky today."
Shi Tingyu smiled and said, "I can't taste it normally. It may be because of the seeds."
No one investigated further. After all, it is common for the quality of vegetables grown to vary.
They don't eat it often, so they can't find any difference.
Shi Tingyu's good cooking skills are recognized. Since she came to help, she didn't hide it. It would be ugly if she was shy.
She took the initiative to suggest cooking, and the team leader's sister-in-law was a little embarrassed.
Shi Tingyu said, "You guys prepare the side dishes, and I'll be in charge of cooking. This job is easy. Sisters-in-law, don't think I'm lazy."
The team leader's sister-in-law smiled and said "Oh" repeatedly, "This cultured person's words are so nice, it's obviously her who suffered."
Finally, with everyone's compliments, Shi Tingyu took the position of the chef in the kitchen.
Several other sisters-in-law helped with the side dishes.
When the cooking started, several sisters-in-law did not go out. They stood by and watched so that they could help at any time and learn the cooking skills. After
sautéing the green onions, ginger and garlic, Shi Tingyu put the cut vegetables into the pot, and soon the kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.
Lu Weiguo was a little worried about his wife, so he got up and went to the kitchen when no one was paying attention.
In the kitchen, Shi Tingyu was waving a spatula to stir-fry vegetables. Seeing that there were still a lot of side dishes beside him, he asked, "Do you want my help?"
Everyone was startled and found that it was Lu Weiguo. The head of the group, his wife, hurriedly said, "It's Xiao Lu. You are not needed here. You and Lao Zhao should go have tea first."
Sister Feng and Sister Zhang were more familiar with Lu Weiguo.
Sister Zhang lived next door to Lu Weiguo, and she knew the relationship between the young couple the most on weekdays. She joked, "Sister-in-law, I don't know this. Xiao Lu is worried about his wife."
Although Lu Weiguo usually had a cold face, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.
He is just worried that his wife is too busy to handle it.
