After hanging up the phone, the young soldier looked at the men in front of him, swallowing hard as he spoke, "Battalion Commander Lu, didn't you leave?"
The man's face was cold. "We're leaving the day after tomorrow. My mom and Qiao... if my wife calls again, just tell them I'm fine."
The young soldier's gaze fell on his blood-stained arm.
They're all like that; they only report good news and never bad.
"Yes," the young soldier replied with a salute.
"Old Lu, what's going on? The woman you're marrying isn't Qiao Shanshan, so how did it become Qiao Wanyue?" The instructor, who was listening nearby, was completely confused. When the Lu family sent the letter, they said the woman's name was Qiao Shanshan and she was a high school student. At that time, many people in the military region introduced potential partners to Old Lu, but no one expected him to suddenly submit a marriage application and even request a wedding leave.
The only problem was that the household registration book sent was changed from Qiao Shanshan's to Qiao Wanyue's. He had some questions, but since Lu Yunzhou didn't seem to care about other people's affairs, he didn't press the matter further.
But now it's clear that Lao Lu has been set up.
He couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing.
This is a slap in the face to their military region.
Wait, what did that girl say she called her by name?
Wei Jun suddenly remembered that the girl's name sounded familiar.
Lu Yunzhou didn't know what was going on.
But he probably guessed it; it was simply that seeing him not return for so long, he guessed that he was in danger and didn't want to take any risks.
But thinking of the woman's voice from earlier, a faint smile flickered across his lips.
Have you gotten the marriage certificate?
"No, the military affairs department said that the name on your application report doesn't match the name on your household registration book, so to be on the safe side, they didn't process it for you."
Lu Yunzhou said, "It's alright, let's put it aside for now. If I come back alive, we'll deal with it later." He took out a wad of cash from his pocket. "Old Wei, send this money to my wife. If I unfortunately die, please find her a good family."
He said the last sentence almost through gritted teeth.
Instructor Wei raised an eyebrow, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Yunzhou sighed, "Don't worry, I'll live well. My wife is waiting for me at home."
"By the way, take all the things my wife sent with me."
After taking a few steps, he paused.
Wei Jun twitched his lips.
He keeps calling her "my wife," and anyone who didn't know better would think they were childhood sweethearts.
Nobody recognizes him anymore!
Unrequited love
Wei Jun laughed and said, "Have someone receive the goods and return as soon as possible. Your Battalion Commander Lu is getting anxious."
The young soldier didn't understand the conversation between the two leaders.
But he understood: get married.
For him, getting married and defending the country were both important matters. Getting married was a good thing. Although Battalion Commander Lu couldn't see his new wife, he was determined to urge them to come back as soon as possible and deliver the things to Battalion Commander Lu.
Qiao Wanyue and Lu's mother went on a shopping spree at the department store.
Lu's mother and elder brother both came out carrying two boxes. Qiao Wanyue took the opportunity to say that she wanted to buy something and then they went their separate ways. When the agreed time arrived, Qiao Wanyue came back dragging two cloth bags.
Upon seeing what she had brought, Lu's mother quickly sealed the bag.
"Wanyue, these..." Wanyue's cloth bag was full of top-quality fruit, and some she had never seen before. They were obviously bought on the black market, and she wondered how much they must have cost.
That brat deserves to suffer.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and said, "Auntie, these are no trouble at all. I also prepared a portion for you."
Looking at the juicy fruit, Lu's mother swallowed hard. Nowadays, people struggle to even get enough to eat, let alone buy fruit like the ones Wanyue brought, which had a delicate fragrance in the air.
Lu's mother wasn't stupid either. "Young comrade, this is a relative of my daughter-in-law. She brought it back from another province. She didn't even eat it herself, but gave it to that brat Yunzhou. You must deliver the gift and the message."
