Chapter 222 No man is good
"What kind of beauty is this?" Xu Nuo also came over. Gossip always makes people unable to stop.
"She is very beautiful. At first glance, you can tell that she is mature, intellectual and has a lot of connotation." Liao Qing couldn't help but praise.
"Who is this beauty?" Lu Chen asked casually.
"I don't know the details, but I heard that he has some connection with our Brigade Commander Lu's family." Liao Qing said this and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Xu Nuo, "He is also a doctor, with the same profession as you. I heard that he also works in the military hospital..."
Xu Nuo wanted to ask a few more questions when Bai Qiu Ning came over on a bicycle. Seeing her husband leaning against the car window and talking to someone, she also came over.
"Hey! Captain Lu, Xu Nuo, when did you come back? I was wondering who my old Liao was chatting with so enthusiastically. He was out for most of the day and didn't even come back home."
"Sister Qiu Ning." Xu Nuo waved at her in the car, "We just got back and haven't gone home yet."
"I just told Liao Hong today that you might not come back for the New Year this year. I didn't expect you to come back. Why? Aren't you going to Beijing to reunite with your family?"
Xu Nuo's smile froze for a moment: "My father-in-law's old comrade invited him to spend the New Year in the south, so we just came back."
"No wonder! That's great. We can celebrate the New Year together this year. It will be so lively!"
"Yes."
Bai Qiuning and Xu Nuo were chatting and interrupted Liao Qing. He urged, "Aren't you going out? Go quickly. It won't be too late to talk again when you come back."
Bai Qiuning glared at him and said, "What about you? You don't let me chat, but you're chatting happily. People haven't even entered the door yet, but you're already chatting. Let me ask you, what are you chatting about? You seem so happy."
"Nothing." Liao Qing raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. "I just saw Lu Chen and his wife came back, so I just wanted to show my concern."
"Really?" Bai Qiuning squinted at him, her expression clearly showing that she didn't believe it at all.
"certainly."
"I don't believe you." She turned around and looked at Lu Chen, and asked, "Captain Lu, you can't lie. Tell me what Lao Liao talked about with you?"
"Old Lu, think it over before you speak." Liao Qing took the opportunity to remind him.
Lu Chen said: "Beauty, a great beauty."
Liao Qing widened his eyes, disliking Lu Chen for not being nice enough and betraying him right away.
"I knew it." Bai Qiu Ning said with a look of understanding. "Ever since that woman showed up in our compound, you've been talking about her like crazy. What's so beautiful about her? I think you should go to the ophthalmologist to have your eyes checked out."
"What do you mean by that?" Liao Qing didn't want to hear it. "Who in the compound doesn't gossip? I was just making a normal comment, and you got angry with me again."
"You men... hehe." Bai Qiuning sneered twice, "None of you are good."
"Hey, hey, hey, you're just talking about me. Don't generalize. Captain Lu is still here. You're scolding him too."
Bai Qiu Ning: "I didn't say anything about Captain Lu. He is an exception."
Lu Chen pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "Don't involve me in your quarrel."
Xu Nuo could see that Bai Qiu Ning seemed to be interested in the newcomer.
The beauty was quite dissatisfied: "Sister-in-law, who is the new beauty?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly when I get back."
"good."
The car had been parked here for quite some time. After Lu Chen said hello to Liao Qing and his wife, he asked Xiao Wei to drive the car back home.
Xiao Wei helped Lu Chen move his luggage home, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, he drove back to the army.
After returning home, Lu Chen first lit the fire at home to warm up the house.
Xu Nuo cleaned the house inside and out, and was busy until after lunch when he finally finished.
These days, she hasn't been able to have a good rest because of the mess at home. Today, when she returned home, she went straight upstairs to take a nap after finishing her work.
It was rare for Lu Chen to be in such a leisurely mood. He had never had the habit of taking a nap, so he accompanied his wife to bed for a nap.
The two of them had a good sleep, and when they opened their eyes again, the sky outside was completely dark.
Xu Nuo stretched his limp limbs in the bed, turned over, and faced Lu Chen: "After a good night's sleep, I feel even more tired."
Seeing her lazy sleeping face, Lu Chen smiled. He raised his hand and stroked her cheek: "You continue to lie down. I'll go see if there's anything to eat in the cafeteria."
"Okay, as long as I can fill my stomach." Xu Nuo was not picky at this moment. As long as she was not allowed to touch the cold water to cook, it was better than anything else.
Lu Chen put on his pants, tied his belt, and was about to put on his coat when he heard a knock on the door downstairs.
He casually threw on his coat and went downstairs in a hurry.
The door opened and Bai Qiu Ning stood at the door. He started with a warm invitation: "You two haven't cooked yet, have you? Come on, let's go to my house for dinner."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. We won't go." Lu Chen declined politely. "Xu Nuo and I will just have a bite tonight and go to bed early."
"The couple has slept for the whole afternoon, how can they rest? Listen to my sister-in-law and come to my house for dinner. Lao Liao has prepared the wine and food. If you don't go, Lao Liao will be angry with me."
"sister in law……"
Before Lu Chen could finish his words, Bai Qiu Ning said, "It's decided. Dinner will be served in ten minutes, and it will be just you and your wife."
After saying that, she turned around and left, leaving Lu Chen no room for refusal.
As soon as Bai Qiuning left, Xu Nuo came down from the stairs: "What did my sister-in-law say?"
"I'd like to go to her house for dinner. Do you want to go?" Lu Chen asked Xu Nuo for his opinion.
"Go!" Xu Nuo said without hesitation, "I want to know about that beautiful lady."
Besides, I have been away from here for two months, and I don’t know what has happened in the compound recently.
She also wanted to find out.
Since Xu Nuo was willing to go, Lu Chen didn't say anything.
The two of them put on their clothes. Xu Nuo took out the specialty snacks he brought back from Beijing from the suitcase and followed Lu Chen to Liao Qing's house.
When the two of them walked in, they saw the table was filled with delicious dishes, such as sweet and sour spare ribs, braised pork elbow, mixed fish cakes... Xu Nuo was dazzled by the sight.
"Sister-in-law, are we living a miserable life? Are you going to spend all of Brother Liao's monthly allowance to entertain us?" Xu Nuo said jokingly.
"We can't finish this, thanks to your recipe. Our life at home has improved by more than two levels compared to usual." Liao Qing was in a good mood when talking about this.
Originally, he and Lu Chen were work partners, and they had a good relationship over the years. And because the women of the two families were doing business together and making a lot of profit, their relationship became even closer.
"Come, come, sit down!" Bai Qiuning invited the couple to sit down, "Let's have a couple of drinks today."
It was at this time that Xu Nuo realized that Liao Hong had not shown up.
She then asked about Liao Hong's whereabouts: "Sister Qiu Ning, why don't you see Liao Hong?"
Speaking of this, Bai Qiuning sighed deeply: "Don't mention it, it's really a sin to talk about it."
