"Commander Lu's eyes are practically glued to his wife."
"I never thought that even a cold-faced devil could be tamed by his wife."
Everyone was astonished.
"Stop talking!" Yan Qingxue suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ran Jinnian and Lu Jinyuan bought some more things, filling their large baskets to the brim, and also carrying a large bag.
After they finished shopping, the two took a military vehicle back home.
The military region's vehicle was running its last trip of the morning, and when the two arrived, there were very few seats left.
This is a military vehicle, so Lu Jinyuan had to show his identification and family member certificate.
The driver checked and found nothing wrong: "One cent for two people."
The military vehicles weren't free; they were just given the most favorable price.
"Commander Lu." Many people on the bus recognized Lu Jinyuan and greeted him.
Lu Jinyuan responded expressionlessly.
After the young couple sat down...
"Honey, are you tired?"
"Not tired."
Ran Jinnian rested her head on his shoulder, and Lu Jinyuan's body tensed up. He was not used to such intimacy when they were outside.
"Wife, sit down." Lu Jinyuan said in a low voice.
Ran Jinnian sat up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him: "Honey, that Yan Qingxue is special to you."
Lu Jinyuan: "......."
My wife has such sharp eyes.
He said frankly, "There's nothing between her and me."
"She likes you, doesn't she?" Ran Jin had barely uttered the words when the man covered her mouth with his large hand.
Lu Jinyuan looked around and, seeing that no one had heard what his wife said, said, "Wife, I have no feelings for her whatsoever."
"I, Lu Jinyuan, am loyal to you and the country."
At that moment, he seemed to be taking an oath under the national flag, his whole body shimmering like flames.
Ran Jinnian felt a heat rise to her cheeks, and her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
His sudden confession made her forget the words she was about to say, and her mind went blank for a moment.
More than an hour later, the bus arrived at the military region.
Lu Jinyuan carried a large basket on his back and a big bag in his hand, not letting his wife suffer any hardship.
After everyone saw it.
"Commander Lu really dotes on his wife."
"Is this Commander Lu? I must be seeing things."
"Isn't it said that Commander Lu never gives women a kind look?"
"The one who doesn't give you a friendly look is another woman, not Commander Lu's wife."
The young couple returned to the courtyard.
When Zhou Hongying saw the two return, she said, "We need to prepare several tables tonight. I'll go and ask everyone to come and help."
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Lu Jinyuan said.
"Don't be so polite in the future."
After Zhou Hongying finished speaking, she left. A little while later, she returned with Yao Yurong and a few others, followed by a bunch of little kids.
They also brought over stools, tables, bowls, and chopsticks.
Everyone worked together, busy as bees, washing and chopping the vegetables, and kneading the dough for the coarse grain steamed buns and cornbread, ready to be steamed.
Ran Jinnian tried to go into the kitchen several times, but everyone chased her out.
"There are so many women here, you're a pregnant woman, don't meddle."
"You're blocking our way. Get out of here."
Ran Jinnian was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to take out fruit candies and give them to the children.
The children each took two and happily circled around Ran Jin, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
"What dishes are being prepared tonight?"
In the kitchen, Zhou Hongying felt that there were a lot of dishes, but not enough portions; it was a bit too little for stir-frying.
