Chapter 379 This is my man
Xia Juanjuan looked at Li Zhan who suddenly appeared in front of her in astonishment, and said with a smile: "Where are you from? Why didn't you send a telegram in advance when you came back?"
She knew that Lizhan should come back in July, but she didn't know the exact time.
Lizhan smiled and said, "I just got off the train and came here directly. Juanjuan, won't you introduce your classmates to me? Who are these two?"
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Lu and Han Rui, and his gaze towards Han Rui was noticeably longer.
Xia Juanjuan felt somewhat guilty.
But classmate Han Rui wanted to stir up trouble, and asked in a familiar voice: "Juanjuan, do you know this person? Hello, my name is Han Rui, and I am Xia Juanjuan's... uh... classmate."
Li Zhan cast a cold look at Han Rui.
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
This bastard...
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "This is Chen Lu, our roommate. This one...he just introduced himself, his name is Han Rui."
Lizhan said "Oh" and calmly asked Han Rui, "Student Han and Juanjuan are classmates?"
Han Rui said: "No, I am from the English department."
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
She was impressed by Li Zhan's reconnaissance ability, it was so cool!
In order to prevent Han Rui from saying anything else, she quickly said, "Chen Lu, let me introduce you to my man, Li Zhan."
Chen Lu was originally watching Li Zhan with her heart pounding. But when she heard Xia Juanjuan introduce this as her man, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened.
"Juanjuan...this is your...husband?"
Han Rui also widened his eyes in shock.
After Xia Juanjuan rejected his confession immediately, Han Rui felt unconvinced.
He had already inquired about it, and it seemed that Xia Juanjuan's husband was from the countryside. After all, he was a top student at Peking University. How could he be inferior to a country boy?
Although he didn't have any intention of interfering in other people's marriages, he was secretly thinking in his heart that if he had the chance to meet Xia Juanjuan's husband in the future, he would definitely have to surpass him!
Now look what’s the use of comparing shit!
In terms of appearance and physique, none of them can compare to her.
There is also his professional identity. He is a top student at Kyoto University, but looking at the military uniform on this man, he should be a soldier. In this era, who wouldn’t envy those who can wear military uniforms?
He still can't beat him!
Who said that this person is a rough country guy?
Li Zhixin, Sun Hui and Feng Yue, who had just made a mistake in identifying the person, were extremely unbalanced when they heard that the handsome and hateful man in the co-pilot's car was actually Xia Juanjuan's husband!
How is this possible!
How could such a handsome man marry Xia Juanjuan?
Although... they had to admit that Xia Juanjuan was pretty, but... she was pretty like a fox spirit, and there was no way she could be worthy of an upright and selfless soldier!
Xia Juanjuan doesn't deserve it at all!
Well...it must be an arranged marriage at home, and the man is not willing to accept it in his heart!
Chen Lu asked the question that everyone was wondering: "Juan, Juanjuan, didn't you say your man was a country boy? How come... he became a soldier?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled innocently and said, "Who says a country boy can't join the army? He joined the army when he was sixteen."
As he said this, he didn't care about others and smiled at Li Zhan, "Your sudden attack scared me. Bai Zihan, you must have received his letter in advance, right? You didn't even tell me."
Bai Zihan spread his hands innocently and said with a smile: "He wants to give you a surprise, and I want to inform you, wouldn't that make me a traitor?"
Li Zhan glanced at him and said with a smile, "That's enough. Don't be stingy. By the way, why are you carrying so much luggage? Where are you going?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It's not my luggage, it's Chen Lu's. She was going to the train station, and I said I could just take her there."
Li Zhan listened, nodded, and said, "Then hurry up and get in the car. I'll let Lao Bai take Student Chen there."
Li Zhixin and Sun Hui, who were standing by, turned pale in the subway.
They boasted for a long time, saying that it was their men who drove over to pick them up.
As a result, before they even got on the car, Xia Juanjuan and Chen Lu, two local turtles, got on first!
Feng Yue was still talking about something else and asked in a low voice: "Zhi Xin, Sun Hui, when will the car that picks us up arrive?"
Li Zhixin and Sun Hui both glared at her coldly and ignored her.
Sun Hui whispered to Li Zhixin, "Have you ever seen this old white guy when you were in the army before? Could he have stolen the army's car and went to the train station to pick someone up? He is so arrogant to use the public car for personal purposes. Let's report him!"
Li Zhixin was speechless.
If it's about using the bus for personal purposes, isn't it the same thing when their men come to pick them up?
Isn't reporting something like walking into a trap?
As they were talking, another jeep drove over and stopped at the school gate.
When Sun Hui saw this, she perked up and finally regained some face: "You're here! Really! You're so late!"
Sure enough, after the car stopped, two men in military uniforms got out and greeted Li Zhixin and Sun Hui.
"Heart!"
“Hui Hui!”
Before they got close, one of them noticed Bai Zihan and Li Zhan and quickly pulled the other person.
The other person looked a little embarrassed when he saw it.
Sun Hui walked over and raised her hand to hit her fiancé: "Why did you come just now? I'm so embarrassed..."
Her fiancé, whose surname was Zhang and who was at the rank of deputy battalion commander, said in a low voice, “Stop making trouble!”
As she spoke, she and Li Zhixin's husband, whose last name was Wang and who was a battalion commander, trotted a few steps to Bai Zihan's front, saluted straight, and shouted, "Captain Bai! Why are you here?"
This is a big deal...
Li Zhixin and Sun Hui were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned pale.
The driver in the car just now turned out to be their man's direct supervisor? !
Bai Zihan said, "At ease. We are not on duty now, nor in the military, so there is no need to salute. Are you here to pick up your wife?"
Both of them felt a little embarrassed. Captain Wang began to reflect on himself: "I'm sorry, Bai Tuan! The women were ignorant, so we...we will go back and reflect on our mistakes now."
Bai Zihan smiled and said, "There's no need to review. Since you're here, just take your wife home, otherwise you'll have made people wait for nothing. By the way, this is Li Tuan... No, it should be Li Deputy Commander. Hey, hey! Don't salute again, didn't I say I'm outside now? Li Tuan has just returned to Beijing City, and will meet everyone in the army in a few days."
Everyone present stared at the battle in a daze.
He is so young, looks to be around 30 years old, and he has become the deputy division commander?
Han Rui felt that he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey because he had such a high opinion of himself in the past.
Don’t say that you are still young. Even if another ten years pass, when he is thirty years old, he may not be able to achieve the same achievements as others!
Aren’t Li Zhixin and Sun Hui’s men examples of this?
He is about the same age as Lizhan, or even older, and currently he is only at the battalion commander level...
Li Zhixin and Sun Hui didn't know what to say.
The man of Xia Juanjuan, whom they have always looked down upon, is actually the superior of their man’s superior!
This face is slapped...
Li Zhixin was very concerned about his reputation, so he was in no mood to wait for the bus. He turned around and left angrily.
Seeing this, Sun Hui quickly followed suit.
Bai Zihan smiled and said, "Well, my wife got angry and ran away. I won't keep you any longer. Go and chase her."
The two were about to salute, but then they remembered Bai Zihan's words and nodded awkwardly and went to chase after the person.
Here, Xia Juanjuan and Chen Lu got on the car and asked Bai Zihan to take them to the train station.
Chen Lu had a lot to say, like gossip about how Sun Hui's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and how dark Li Zhixin's face was at the time, but Li Zhan and Bai Zihan were there, so he had to endure it.
Arriving at the train station, Chen Lu dragged his bags into the station.
It would take some time before her train started checking tickets, so Xia Juanjuan didn't stay with her.
Chen Lu hugged Xia Juanjuan and said, "Juanjuan, didn't you say you would come to Guangzhou during the summer vacation? You know my home address, you must come to my house!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I were to go there, I would definitely visit you at your home."
The two said goodbye, and Chen Lu reluctantly walked into the station.
After Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan, Bai Zihan went back home.
Bai Zihan still drove the two of them to the entrance of the alley where the courtyard was located and then went back.
After Bai Zihan left, the two of them stood at the door. Li Zhan glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "A classmate from the English department, huh?"
Xia Juanjuan: “…”
She knew that this man hadn't said a word the whole time, and it turned out that he was waiting for her here!
"Ah, just... we know each other occasionally, but we're not very familiar with each other." Xia Juanjuan evaded the question.
Li Zhan suddenly leaned over and bit her earlobe as if punishing her. His deep, magnetic voice scraped against her eardrums: "You really don't know me well? Wait till I examine you carefully tonight."
Xia Juanjuan was startled and quickly covered her ears.
Although this alley is quiet, it is not deserted. This bastard is doing this in broad daylight...
"If someone sees you doing this, you'll be reported as a hooligan!"
Li Zhan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Playing hooligan? I can't touch my wife?"
Having said that, he couldn't help but lean over and want to bite her lips again.
As a result, before he succeeded, the door creaked open.
The two of them separated quickly and awkwardly, stroking each other's noses and pretending to be normal.
Lin Yuru poked her head out, and seeing Lizhan, she smiled in surprise and said, "Lizhan? I thought there was a voice outside the door! It turns out that Lizhan is back! What are you two doing at the door instead of going in after arriving home?"
Xia Juanjuan's cheeks turned red and she glared at Lizhan unhappily.
Lizhan was thick-skinned and didn't seem to blush. He just grinned and said, "Mom, I'm back. I was just about to go in!"
At this time, the triplets poked their heads out from the door one by one.
The three little heads are exactly the same and very neat.
When they saw Lizhan, they all rushed out, hugged Lizhan's thighs, looked up and shouted: "Dad! Dad! You're back!"
Yaoyao was a beat slow and didn't hug the legs, but he hugged Yanyan and Yeye, which was considered as hugging his father's thigh.
Li Zhan felt worried when he saw these three identical little heads.
It's quite difficult to recognize him right away after not seeing him for over half a year.
However, fortunately, after living on the island for two years, I finally got used to the little movements of the three little guys, and after a few tries, I was able to recognize them.
He picked Yaoyao up and couldn't help laughing, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've gained a lot of weight! I can hardly hold you!"
Yaoyao said proudly: "Dad, I'm almost six years old! Mom said we can go to school in the fall!"
Yanyan and Yeye saw it and shouted, "Dad, it's my turn!"
Lizhan put Yaoyao down, then picked up Yanyan and Yeye one by one, and said with a smile: "Well, I can't hold you either! You've all grown up!"
As he spoke, Lizhan entered the yard surrounded by the three young guys.
This was Lizhan's first time to visit this courtyard. He first entered a smaller courtyard, which was used to store sundries. After entering the second gate, he came to the large courtyard where Xia Juanjuan and the others lived.
There were two crabapples in the yard, lush and green, and the grape trellis cast a cool shade. There were tables and rattan chairs underneath, so people could stay cool in the yard. There were bunches of grapes on the trellis, not yet ripe, but one could predict at a glance that the harvest would be very good in August or September.
In the large water tank in the corner, lotus flowers are blooming luxuriantly.
At the end of the corridor there is a small door leading to the back, and it is obvious that there is another courtyard at the back.
Li Zhan couldn't help but be stunned. Such a large courtyard house with three entrances, can it be rented for fifty yuan a month?
It couldn't be that the money was given by the Fu family. His wife was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so she deliberately said less, right?
However, Li Zhan did not mention this matter.
The weather in July was already very hot. At noon, Xia Shuangshan drove Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei back from school. When he saw Lizhan, he was also surprised.
Li Zhan looked at the tricycle suspiciously and asked, "What is this..."
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Dad can't sit still. He's using this cart to haul coal for people outside."
After hearing this, Li Zhan just said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.
I had cold noodles for lunch.
The cucumbers freshly picked from the backyard were chilled in well water, and the carrots, chili peppers, scallions, coriander, etc. were all washed, shredded and set aside.
There were also the oyster mushrooms that Xia Juanjuan had just taken out in the morning. She blanched them in boiling water and then tore them into small strips.
Xia Juanjuan and Lin Yuru began to knead the dough, then cut it into thin noodles and boiled water to cook the noodles.
After cooking, take out and rinse with cool water. Then add shredded cucumber, carrot, oyster mushroom, green onion, ginger, coriander, etc., and pour the prepared sauce on them. It's done.
People in Jingshi like to eat sesame sauce, and Xia Juanjuan also likes sesame sauce, so I also prepared sesame sauce. Those who like it can add it themselves.
There were also some vegetarian dishes on the plain noodles, and the braised beef made yesterday was taken out from the space and a few pieces were cut into each person's bowl.
There is also a golden fried egg in each bowl.
After lunch, we scooped up a watermelon that had been frozen in the well, cut it into pieces, and ate it under the grape trellis.
When summer came, Xia Juanjuan would take out a watermelon every other day, saying that she had bought it. She would then put it down in the well and share it with everyone at noon or in the evening when they were taking a break to cool off.
