For Yao Hua's safety, Political Commissar Yu drove her back to the family compound.
He and Yao Hua haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet, so living together is inconvenient and bad for Yao Hua's reputation. Therefore, Political Commissar Yu sent Yao Hua to Jiang Yue's house again.
When they arrived, Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian had just finished tidying up the study.
Leaving Political Commissar Yu and Lu Jingnian to talk, Jiang Yue took Yao Hua to the newly tidied study. "Hua Hua, you'll live here from now on. You don't need to go back to the compound for now."
Xu Cuilan is ultimately an unsafe factor. Today, Political Commissar Yu and Xu Cuilan reached an agreement, but Xu Cuilan may change her mind in a couple of days and suddenly sell Yao Hua out again.
Yao Hua also wanted to live here, but it wasn't possible.
"Yueyue, I think I'll go back to the compound. Our clothes aren't finished yet. My mom has already promised Commissar Yu that she won't sell me off again." Yao Hua was a bit naive, thinking that since Xu Cuilan had promised Commissar Yu, she definitely wouldn't make things difficult for her anymore.
"You don't need to worry about the clothes. I discussed it with Lu Jingnian today. There are some people from the battalion going to the regimental headquarters for a meeting tomorrow. Lu Jingnian will ask them to help bring the sewing machine to the family compound."
"You can have your clothes made here from now on. I'm here too, so I can help you."
Jiang Yue had already thought things through.
With the sewing machine issue resolved, Yao Hua can now settle down here with peace of mind.
Outside, Lu Jingnian and Political Commissar Yu were still talking. Yao Hua listened to Political Commissar Yu's voice, bit her lip, and whispered to Jiang Yue, "Yueyue, Political Commissar Yu said a few things to me on the way here."
Yao Hua whispered to Jiang Yue what the political commissar had said to her in the car.
"Yueyue, please help me. I don't know what to do to make him feel that I'm not marrying him out of gratitude."
Jiang Yue nodded and leaned closer to Yao Hua, whispering in her ear, "I understand what you mean. I'll teach you how to win over Political Commissar Yu..."
The two plotted in the study for a long time.
After seeing off Political Commissar Yu, Lu Jingnian went back to his room and lay on the bed to wait for Jiang Yue. However, after waiting for more than an hour, Jiang Yue still did not return.
Lu Jingnian sat up, threw off the covers and got out of bed, wanting to call Jiang Yue back, but he stopped himself when his fingers touched the covers.
Jiang Yue isn't coming back, she must have something to say to Yao Hua. It wouldn't be good for me to go over there now and disturb her.
Never mind, he should just go to sleep.
These past few days, sleeping with Jiang Yue in his arms has become a habit for Lu Jingnian, and tonight, with Jiang Yue not around, he feels really uncomfortable.
Lu Jingnian had never felt so uncomfortable before, tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Jiang Yue and Yao Hua chatted until late at night. Only after Yao Hua fell asleep did Jiang Yue quietly return to her room.
Afraid of waking Lu Jingnian, Jiang Yue didn't dare turn on the light. Using the moonlight shining in from the window, Jiang Yue carefully lifted the quilt and got into bed. As soon as she lay down, the man next to her turned over and hugged her tightly.
"You're still awake?"
Jiang Yue covered herself with the blanket, shifted her body, and found a comfortable position in Lu Jingnian's arms.
"You're almost asleep." Lu Jingnian put his arm around Jiang Yue's waist and held her tightly in his arms. "Go to sleep."
He really couldn't fall asleep; without Jiang Yue, he felt an emptiness in his heart.
Lu Jingnian felt like he was going crazy. He and Jiang Yue had only been married for less than a week, yet he was already so attached to Jiang Yue. This was very abnormal.
Nothing was said that night.
The next day.
When Jiang Yue woke up, without exception, Lu Jingnian was no longer at home.
Footsteps came from the living room. Jiang Yue got dressed and went out, where she saw Yao Hua carrying breakfast out of the kitchen.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue come out, Yao Hua said happily, "Yueyue, you're awake! Go wash your face quickly. I've made breakfast. Battalion Commander Lu said you're going to plant vegetables today."
"After we have breakfast, I'll go with you."
The sewing machine won't be brought over until the afternoon. Yao Hua has nothing to do in the morning, so she can help Jiang Yue plant vegetables.
She grows all the vegetables in their house; Yao Hua is an expert at growing vegetables.
"Okay, I'll go wash my face first."
Jiang Yue quickly washed her face, ate breakfast with Yao Hua, and then the two of them packed up, took the vegetable seeds, farm tools and buckets and went out.
Jiang Yue had already prepared the vegetable garden yesterday; today she just needs to sow the seeds.
The job was quick; she and Yao Hua finished it in less than a morning.
Jiang Yue used the water from the reservoir at the edge of the field to irrigate the vegetable garden. After confirming that there were no problems, she took Yao Hua back home. Since it was still early, Jiang Yue went home to put down her things and then took Yao Hua to town.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue gave Yao Hua all the money she had put in her bag and told her carefully that it was Yao Hua's own money and that she must keep it safe and not give it to others.
With tears in her eyes, Yao Hua agreed, knowing that Jiang Yue didn't want her money. Yao Hua said that she would definitely make lots and lots of clothes for Jiang Yue in the future.
Jiang Yue plans to change the medicinal diet she's giving Lu Jingnian today, replacing it with Angelica and Pig's Trotter Soup.
She felt that Lu Jingnian was tired of eating chicken all the time.
Yao Hua also bought something today, it was for Political Commissar Yu.
By the time the two returned from town, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Jingnian and the others were almost off work. Jiang Yue went home first to stew medicinal food, while Yao Hua took the things she bought to find Commissar Yu.
Just as Jiang Yue's medicinal cuisine was almost finished cooking, Yao Hua returned.
Political Commissar Yu and Jiang Zheng also returned with her.
Commissar Yu and Jiang Zheng carried back the sewing machine that Jiang Yue had requested.
"Brother, you're off work!"
Jiang Yue ran out of the kitchen and saw that Jiang Zheng and Political Commissar Yu had already entered the room, but she didn't see Lu Jingnian. She frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, didn't Lu Jingnian come back with you?"
Didn't they leave work together?
Jiang Zheng set up the sewing machine and said to Jiang Yue with a smile, "The higher-ups have temporarily assigned Jing Nian a task, so he probably won't be able to come back for the next few days."
Political Commissar Yu added, "Sister-in-law, Lao Lu left in a hurry this time, so he didn't have time to tell you."
Jiang Yue looked at the two of them, pursed her lips, and asked, "May I ask what he went there to do?"
Political Commissar Yu and Jiang Zheng shook their heads at the same time. Jiang Zheng said, "Neither Lao Yu nor I know the answer to this."
It's not that I don't know, it's that I can't say; that's the rule.
"I see."
Jiang Yue nodded, forcing a smile. "I even asked him today if he had made pig's trotter soup. Since he's not coming back, you can drink the soup."
The food will be ready soon, please sit down and wait a moment.
After saying that, Jiang Yue quickly returned to the kitchen.
"I'll go take a look."
Yao Hua quickly chased after her.
Jiang Yue stood in front of the gas stove, her eyes reddened by the steam rising from the clay pot.
"Yueyue, are you alright?"
Yao Hua walked over and looked at Jiang Yue with concern.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yue shook her head and quickly wiped her eyes with her hand.
Yao Hua felt extremely distressed when she saw Jiang Yue crying. "Yueyue, don't worry. Battalion Commander Lu is so capable, he will definitely come back safely."
