Chapter 221 You should leave now
Lu Chen got up to open the door and saw Aunt Lin standing at the door with red eyes.
"Aunt Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Lin's nose felt sore, and two lines of hot tears rolled down. Before she could say a few words, she choked up and said, "It's okay, come downstairs, your parents have something to tell you."
"good."
A few minutes later, the couple came down from the stairs.
Lu Huaizheng and Cheng Wanying sat side by side on the sofa. Cheng Wanying had stopped crying, and her eyes were swollen like rotten walnuts.
"Mom, are you feeling better?" Xu Nuo sat beside her and asked softly.
"I'm fine."
"Mom, regarding Zhang Man's matter, I..."
"Nono, let's not talk about this." Cheng Wanying was afraid that she would think too much, so she gently held her hand, "She was wrong in this matter, and you did nothing wrong. As his mother-in-law and Yiyi's grandmother, I am definitely sad, but this is not directed at you. Do you understand, child?"
Xu Nuo nodded slightly: "I don't want to see you like this, but Zhang Qiang and Zhang Man have gone too far, so I have to fight back."
"You're not wrong." Lu Huaizheng said, "No one is bullying people like them. I called you two down for only one thing - you go back tomorrow."
When he finished speaking, Lu Chen was slightly startled.
Xu Nuo was also surprised.
"Dad, what are you doing..."
Lu Huaizheng glanced at his son and said, "Zhang's parents are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid they will make trouble every now and then. You won't be able to spend the New Year well at home, so why don't you return to the army?"
"Huai Zheng, we are so lonely during the New Year, it would be nice to have two more people. Haven't you been looking forward to spending the New Year with Lu Chen for so many years?" Aunt Lin couldn't help but interrupted, "Besides, why don't we just tell the guards to stop the Zhang couple?"
"Forget it, let's go back." Lu Huaizheng sighed lightly.
This was the result of his consideration.
At home, this New Year will probably be a difficult one. Cheng Wanying felt bad for the state of her son and daughter-in-law.
Not to mention Lu Feng this year.
The two of them felt uncomfortable staying, and the key point was that the atmosphere was not suitable.
What if the old couple comes to bother us again and cause more trouble?
Lu Chen and Xu Nuo had obviously thought of this when they were upstairs.
Since his father had proposed it, Lu Chen did not refuse: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xu Nuo also nodded: "Then we will book the tickets tomorrow. But, after we leave, what will happen to you two?"
"You don't have to worry about us." Lu Huaizheng had already thought about it. "We are leaving Beijing during the New Year. My old comrade is in the south and has called me many times to invite me to go to the south to experience the warm spring-like feeling. Your mother and I will go there with Aunt Lin and Yiyi to celebrate the New Year."
Leaving this environment can dilute this emotion, which is good for both him and Cheng Wanying.
"As for Lu Feng, it depends on his wishes. If he wants to go with us, then he can go with us. If he doesn't want to go, then he can stay and look after the house by himself." Lu Huaizheng gave the other party room to choose. As for whether to go or not, it was up to him.
"Let's do this." Lu Chen also felt that this was the best choice at the moment.
Cheng Wanying patted the back of Xu Nuo's hand and said, "Go back. You two can spend a peaceful year together."
"I understand, Mom." Xu Nuo agreed.
After dinner, Lu Cheng called from the army. He knew nothing about what was going on at home, but when he talked about the New Year, he was extremely envious: "Dad, I have to stand guard for the soldiers on New Year's Eve this year, so I definitely can't go home for the New Year. You guys eat more dumplings for me! I really envy my big brother and big sister-in-law, I can happily celebrate the New Year with you."
"What? Are you lonely?" Lu Huaizheng asked him.
"Needless to say." Lu Cheng looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and a feeling of homesickness arose spontaneously. "I haven't seen my second brother, second sister-in-law and Yiyi for a long time. Yiyi is so cute, I want to go back and hug her."
"Then hurry up and find a partner and get married. Wouldn't it be enough for you to have a child? Why envy others?" Lu Huaizheng was annoyed. Another person who didn't want to get married.
They are already in their twenties. The army encourages young people to get married and have children. It's not that it is not allowed, but they just drag their feet and refuse to start family life early.
"Dad, are you upset? Why do you make me so bad-tempered?" Lu Cheng felt puzzled.
"I don't like you! You are not as tall as your brother, your grades are not as good as your brother, and your position is not as good as your brother. You don't work hard to learn these things like your brother, but you have learned this not to get married."
"I... I am wronged! Dad, I will bring my partner back to show you next year, okay?"
"What do you think? Stop talking so much nonsense! If you're okay, talk to your mom.
Cheng Wanying was still in a bad mood. She cried for a long time and her voice became hoarse. She was afraid that her son might hear something wrong, so she quickly waved her hands.
"Your mother is tired, so let's not talk for now. Let's talk later. Bye." After Lu Huaizheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a click.
Lu Cheng, who was thousands of miles away, felt that something was not right, so he called Lu Chen again.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and Lu Chen did not hide the truth from Lu Cheng and told him the whole story.
Lu Cheng expressed his attitude: "You and sister-in-law are right. I will go back and persuade mom."
"Yes." Lu Chen said, "We will go back to the army tomorrow. If we have time, we can have dinner together."
"Okay, brother, see you in the army."
The next day, dusk.
Lu Chen and Xu Nuo packed up and prepared to leave. Lu Huaizheng sent Xiao Chen to take them to the train station.
Before leaving, Xu Nuo hugged Lu Yiyi and kissed her again and again, and secretly put a small red envelope in her pocket.
"Let's go, it's time to get in the car." Lu Huaizheng urged.
Xu Nuo took out two big red envelopes from his pocket, handed one to Aunt Lin and the other to Cheng Wanying.
"We left in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare New Year gifts. This is a little gift from Lu Chen and I. Please accept it."
Aunt Lin and Cheng Wanying refused to accept anything, and both of them declined in unison, saying, "It's not easy for you to make money, so you should keep the money for yourself."
"Who said it's not easy." The sound of bicycle bells came, and brothers Lei Ming and Yang Dong came together.
Lei Ming got off his bicycle and walked over with a smile: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Cheng, Aunt Lin, my sister-in-law and my brother will feel bad if you don't accept their kindness. Let me tell you a secret, my sister-in-law is not short of money, she is very rich."
"How do you know? Did you look at his passbook?" Aunt Lin glared at him with a smile.
"How should I know?" Lei Ming took out a thick envelope from his pocket. "See? I'm sending dividends to my sister-in-law."
He handed the envelope to Xu Nuo: "Sister-in-law, I heard from Da Chengzi that you were leaving today, so as soon as the bank opened this morning, we lined up to withdraw money. There are 5,000 yuan in it. This is all for now. We will work hard after the New Year, and we will definitely need more money!"
"We have calculated the accounts and written them on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. Remember to take a look at it later." Yang Pan said while lying on his car, stretching his neck.
"Oh, that's indeed a lot." Aunt Lin smacked her lips.
Even Cheng Wanying was stunned. No wonder Zhang Qiang and Zhang Man went to such great lengths to get the formula. The money was flowing into their pockets like water. Who wouldn't be jealous?
"In that case, we'll take it." Lu Huaizheng said.
Seeing that they accepted the red envelopes, Xu Nuo felt much more at ease.
"Work hard!" Xu Nuo said to Lei Ming, "I have a good business here. When you make a name for yourself in this business, I will introduce other businesses to you."
"Oh, thank you sister-in-law!" Lei Ming hurriedly thanked her.
"What sister-in-law! This is the God of Wealth!" Yang Dong said.
"What? That's the Goddess of Wealth!" Yang Pan corrected his elder brother's way of addressing her.
"Stop yelling nonsense." Xu Nuo hurriedly stopped them, "What Goddess of Wealth? I don't deserve to be called that."
"Okay, stop chatting. It's getting late. Don't miss the train." Lu Huaizheng urged again.
Lu Chen and Xu Nuo got in the car, opened the windows, waved goodbye to their family and friends, and started their journey back.
We were jolted on the train all night and arrived at our destination the next morning.
Xiao Wei was already waiting at the station in his car. When he saw Lu Chen and Xu Nuo coming back, he happily went up to them and helped them with their luggage.
"Captain, sister-in-law, shall we go eat something first, or go home first?"
Lu Chen glanced at the time. It was around nine o'clock in the morning. It was a little late for breakfast and a little early for lunch.
"Let's go back first." Xu Nuo said, "I'm not hungry yet. When we get home, we can just clean up and have lunch directly."
"Okay." Lu Chen nodded and said to Xiao Wei, "Go home first."
"Yes, Captain."
After nearly an hour's drive, the military vehicle arrived at the military compound and drove towards the colonel building.
On the way, Lu Chen saw some people setting off firecrackers, and some even hung colorful balloons on the trees.
"The New Year atmosphere is so strong." Xu Nuo sighed.
As he was talking, he met an acquaintance in front of him, who was Lu Chen's work partner, Political Commissar Liao Qing.
"Old Liao." Lu Chen opened the window and stuck his head out to greet him.
"Oh, you're back! I thought you would come after the Chinese New Year." Liao Qing was overjoyed. "It's great that you're back. We originally said that your house would be quiet during the Chinese New Year, but now it's really lively."
"Desolate? I think the compound is quite lively. The compound was decorated quite early this year, with colorful balloons hung up and firecrackers set off." Lu Chen said casually.
"This isn't a New Year's decoration! Hey, Old Lu, let me tell you something!" Liao Qing came over with a mysterious look on his face, "Something sensational has happened in our hospital recently."
"Sensational?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, "How sensational."
"Let's put it this way. It was as sensational as when you first married a wife."
"Tell me about it." Lu Chen curled the corners of his mouth.
"A great beauty has come to our yard! It is no exaggeration to say that she is a great beauty!" Liao Qing said loudly.
