"Sister-in-law, you can't drink milk?" Milk is a good thing, how come you can't drink it?
Moreover, this milk is in short supply.
It's basically something that only wealthy people can buy, or that people who are severely malnourished and hospital patients can drink.
For working families, they can buy it a maximum of twice a week, and each time it's just a small bottle.
“Yes, my body can’t absorb milk. This is what your brother bought for you. Your body is underdeveloped and you need to supplement your nutrition.” Shen Qiaoyue opened the milk and handed it to Lu He.
Looking at the milk, Lu He had never tasted it before.
Looking at Shen Qiaoyue, Lu He shyly thanked her for the milk, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
“Go ahead and drink. I’m your brother’s wife, your sister-in-law. I won’t bully you. Don’t be afraid. From now on, you’ll eat whatever we eat. There won’t be any discrimination,” Shen Qiaoyue added.
“I know, my brother just said the same thing to me. You’re completely different from my other two sisters-in-law. City people are just different. You’re as gentle and kind as the educated youth in the village.” Lu He was speaking from the heart. She thought her third sister-in-law was the best sister-in-law.
After listening, Shen Qiaoyue knew that Lu He was praising her.
Shen Qiaoyue was a little shy and said, "Don't say that. We've only known each other for a day. I might not be that good."
It was also her first time getting along with her sister-in-law, and she needed to figure out many things.
“My sister-in-law is the best.” Lu He had already spent a whole day proving this.
Shen Qiaoyue was secretly pleased.
What Lu Chen cares about, Shen Qiaoyue will protect with her life.
After having breakfast, Lu Chen returned from outside.
He took the two girls from his family to the city.
Liu Xinlan was already waiting at the entrance of the family compound.
She lives in the dormitory of the military hospital and rarely comes to the family compound.
Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyue walked out and saw Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli beside her.
"Didn't Brother Xu say he was on duty yesterday?" Shen Qiaoyue hadn't even spoken yet.
Lu He wanted to voice his question.
Xu Qianli said guiltily, "There's a deputy regimental commander in the regiment, so we can let him take the shift. I'm the instructor, so taking the shift doesn't make much sense to me."
“Okay.” Lu He didn’t quite understand.
Shen Qiaoyue knew very well that Xu Qianli liked Liu Xinlan and wanted to make a sense of presence in front of him.
Judging from Liu Xinlan's attitude, she probably didn't fall for her.
I wonder if Xu Qianli and Liu Xinlan will be able to be together in this lifetime.
“Let’s go. Today is our private time. Let’s take the bus,” Lu Chen suggested.
Moreover, they can only take the bus.
Arrived at the bus stop.
Everyone is waiting for the bus.
Lu He looked around, her mind filled with curiosity and excitement.
Lu Chen looked down at Shen Qiaoyue and asked, "Are you cold?"
"I'm not cold, I'm wearing a lot of layers, it's very warm!" Shen Qiaoyue looked up at Lu Chen and said, then noticed that Lu Chen's scarf was loose, so she adjusted it.
Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli watched this scene unfold.
Two people were randomly envied.
"Commander Lu is so good to Qiaoyue!" Liu Xinlan couldn't help but tease.
"Newlyweds, after a while they'll definitely be just like everyone else in the family compound," Xu Qianli said with a sour tone.
Lu Chen stared at Xu Qianli and retorted, "Who told you to be single now? Find someone and you'll be like us."
Xu Qianli: "..." Do you want to hear what you're saying?
Liu Xinlan looked up at Xu Qianli and asked curiously, "Instructor Xu, you're twenty-six now, why aren't you married yet?"
Xu Qianli faced Liu Xinlan's persistent questioning.
My heart ached even more.
Does Liu Xinlan really not understand what he's thinking?
Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen had the same expression as them, staring at the two of them.
Lu He's mind wasn't on that. Pointing to the bus in front of her, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law, isn't the bus here?"
The four of them looked over at the same time, but the bus didn't stop there; it wasn't the bus route they were on.
Then silence returned.
Xu Qianli looked at the intersection ahead and scratched his head.
After a moment of silence, the bus finally arrived.
Because it's the weekend, there were no seats left on the bus.
They could only stand. Only when they reached the intersection of the train station and some hospitals would people get off and they would have a place to sit.
After nearly an hour of driving and stopping, we finally arrived in the city.
As soon as you get off the bus, you're greeted by a crowd of people.
Due to the holiday, and with less than ten days until the Lunar New Year, many people have started preparing for the holiday.
"It looks quite festive." Xu Qianli got out of the car and looked at the red lanterns that had been hung on the street.
The Chinese New Year is just around the corner.
"Dr. Liu seems to be from Haishi. Is she going home for the New Year?" Shen Qiaoyue asked, staring at Liu Xinlan.
"I'm not going back. My dad remarried and has his own child. I'm no longer important to him." Liu Xinlan felt a pang of sadness when talking about her family.
"I'm sorry." Shen Qiaoyue hadn't thought of these things.
Liu Xinlan smiled and shook her head, took a deep breath and joked, "Me? It's fine to spend the New Year alone in the dormitory. My roommate has to work, and so do I. It's good to have someone to keep me company during the New Year."
Xu Qianli stared at Liu Xinlan. In fact, Xu Qianli was also alone. Every year during the Spring Festival, he would spend it alone in the army with his comrades.
Despite his numerous hints, Liu Xinlan never responded. Perhaps she didn't like him!
Looking at the two of them, Shen Qiaoyue realized that without family support, marriage would indeed be a difficult situation.
