When Shen Qiaoyue saw Lu He, she was about the same height as her, but much thinner. Her eyes were the same as Lu Chen's, but not quite. Lu He probably looked more like her mother.
"Um... the kitchen at home needs some repairs, let's eat at the cafeteria for lunch." Shen Qiaoyue looked at Lu He, who seemed very afraid of her.
Seeing Duan Jiahe carrying the luggage, Shen Qiaoyue quickly said, "Xiao Duan, thank you for helping Lu He with his luggage today. Let's go to the cafeteria together later. Lu Chen and I will treat you."
"Okay." Duan Jiahe didn't refuse and smiled happily.
Lu He followed closely behind Lu Chen, constantly observing Shen Qiaoyue's reaction.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and go inside, put your things down, and then we'll go eat." Shen Qiaoyue wasn't actually hungry; she had just eaten breakfast not long ago, and she thought Lu Chen and Lu He must be hungry.
What she didn't know was that Lu He had already eaten two eggs on the way back with Lu Chen.
Shen Qiaoyue reached out and took Lu He's crossbody bag, tossing it to Lu Chen and saying, "Hurry up, put your things away and let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. The cafeteria's lunch time will be over soon, and the kitchen won't be able to cook for us anymore."
Lu Chen felt that he was about to lose favor with his sister after she arrived.
I took my sister's bag and the things we bought at the mall and put them in the living room.
Duan Jiahe came out of the living room and smiled at Lu Chen.
"Remember to bring your meal tickets and money." The canteen belongs to the military. You don't need to bring food coupons or meat coupons to eat there, but you do need to bring the meal tickets issued by the military.
If you want to eat individual dishes, you need to pay for the food and the price.
When Shen Qiaoyue pulled Lu He along, she noticed that Lu He's hands were very cold.
It was obvious that she was malnourished. Looking down at Lu He's feet, her shoes were already worn out.
Remembering that she had bought shoes at the mall yesterday, she pulled Lu He into the house.
"Lu He, your brother and I bought you two pairs of shoes yesterday, one black and one white. Let's put them on first before we go eat." Originally, I was thinking of having her try them on after we ate, but seeing her like this, she must be cold.
He pulled Lu He into the room that had been prepared for her, and took out two pairs of shoes and socks that had been prepared beforehand.
"Put these on and see if they fit." Shen Qiaoyue placed the shoes in front of her and let her try them on.
Lu Chen looked at Duan Jiahe waiting outside.
"Commander, your wife treats Lu He quite well," Duan Jiahe couldn't help but tease.
"She's my wife, she'll definitely treat Lu He well." Lu Chen beamed with joy. It was his wife who suggested bringing his sister over.
My wife asked me to buy all these things.
After all, he's a boy, very careless, and doesn't understand these things at all.
Lu He tried on the black one, and it fit perfectly.
Shen Qiaoyue felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu He, perhaps because Lu He had been too enthusiastic.
"How is it? Is it suitable?" she asked with concern.
Lu He moved her feet; the clothes were very comfortable.
"Sister-in-law, are these shoes very expensive?" Lu He made all her own shoes. She was always busy with her studies and housework, so she never had time to make new shoes for herself.
After asking the question, Lu He nervously looked up at Shen Qiaoyue.
“It’s not expensive. These shoes are for you. Look how old your shoes are in the middle of winter. Your brother said you probably don’t have time to buy yourself anything at home, so he took me with him to buy two pairs. I’m glad you like them. They’re a gift from your brother.”
Shen Qiaoyue dared not accept this credit.
Although she bought the shoes, the size was probably estimated based on her age.
The sales clerk said that girls in rural areas need to do chores, so their sizes might be a size larger, so they bought size 36 for Lu He.
"We don't know your size. Do you feel uncomfortable wearing it? If it doesn't fit, we can exchange it," Shen Qiaoyue asked again, being the only one who could help.
Lu He said, "No, it's perfect."
The size is just right. Looking at her old shoes, which are size 35, she wore them out so much that her toes were warped and she couldn't even get them on.
Moreover, she had been uncomfortable wearing these shoes for over a year.
Suddenly wearing such comfortable shoes, Lu He was a little reluctant to wear them out, afraid of getting them dirty.
"As long as it's suitable, it's fine. You're growing now, and you'll need to change your shoes in a few months. Don't worry about getting them dirty. You can wash them and still wear them. Shoes are made to be worn, so don't be too careful about them. If they get worn out, we can just get a new pair." Shen Qiaoyue noticed Lu He's cautious expression and knew that she must not be having a good time at home.
In many families, the preference for sons over daughters is very serious.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Qiaoyue's words made Lu He less nervous.
"Don't be shy, let's go eat. We need to come back later to check on the kitchen repairs." Shen Qiaoyue reached out and pulled Lu He out the door together.
Walking into the courtyard, he looked at his master and asked, "Master, have you eaten?"
"We've already eaten, don't worry about us," the lead chef replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's go out for dinner and we'll be back in a bit," Shen Qiaoyue said.
"Go ahead, we can't be that fast either," the renovation worker said again.
After greeting each other, they went out of the army canteen together.
I arrived at the cafeteria and found a seat.
"Jiahe and I are going to order something to eat. Honey, you like braised pork. What else would you like to eat?" Lu Chen asked Shen Qiaoyue.
"I'm out." Shen Qiaoyue asked Lu He, "Does your sister have anything she likes to eat? There's fish and pork belly here."
