Chapter 234 Don't Alert the Snake
"clear."
After Lu Chen finished his phone call with Brigade Commander Lu, Lu Kun returned home. He didn't even have time to eat dinner before he was dragged here by his stern father.
As soon as he saw the dark signs on his face, he knew that a storm was coming.
So, he quickly stood at attention, waiting to be scolded.
As for the reason, he knew it clearly in his heart like a mirror.
"Lu Kun, is this how your mother and I taught you? Lin Ya is such a good girl, how could you do such a thing in front of her?" Brigade Commander Lu scolded.
"Dad, I really don't know why. I couldn't control myself at that time..."
Before Lu Kun could finish his words, he received a slap in the face.
"Can't control yourself? I think you are possessed by a ghost!"
Lu Kun felt really wronged and was anxious: "Really, Dad, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm really confused."
"Pa——" Another solid slap.
"What about now? Is your head clear?"
Lu Kun covered his face and said gloomily, "I am much more sober now..."
"Then tell me, how do you wake up?"
Lu Kun hung his head: "After thinking about it, I feel that I still like Lin Ya more. Xia Nan is too flamboyant and not suitable for me."
Brigade Commander Lu was furious when he heard this: "Is this what you think after you sober up?"
"right."
"Now that Lin Ya has broken up with you, are you planning to continue to pester her?"
Lu Kun said nothing.
But the meaning of this statement is self-evident.
"Do you have the nerve to do that with Xia Nan? You and Xia Nan did that in front of everyone. Do you still have the nerve to go and get back together with Lin Ya? Is this fair to Lin Ya? Is this fair to Xia Nan?"
Lu Kun: "This..."
Brigade Commander Lu simply stopped talking to his son and made a decision with a wave of his hand: "Just talk to Xia Nan for a while, and if it's suitable, you can get married."
"Is that it?" Lu Kun was very surprised by his father's decision.
Is that it?
Two slaps and it's over?
The thunder he imagined did not fall, and he didn't know whether he should be thankful for that.
"What else do you want?"
"No, I don't want to."
"If you are irresponsible, you will ruin the girl's reputation. By the way, I want you to go and talk, but you have to tell me clearly what I want in a daughter-in-law. You should know better than me, right?"
"clear."
"That's good. Get out and eat."
Lu Kun didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly rolled out of the study.
The father wants his daughter-in-law to be someone with good moral character, thrifty, hardworking, and sensible.
As for Xia Nan, will it work?
Lu Kun felt that he should be more careful and observe more. He didn't want to enter the marriage fortress blindly.
In a few days, the Spring Festival will be here.
The festive atmosphere in the compound became even stronger. Lu Chen's unit distributed a lot of holiday gifts, including rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, eggs, milk, and fruit, and even a few movie tickets.
This place has everything you need to eat, use and play.
Xu Nuo put all these things in order these days, planning to cook some delicious dishes to entertain Lu Cheng and his girlfriend.
However, what was unexpected was that Jiang Niaoniao had something to do at home, so she returned to Beijing early.
As for Lu Cheng, he has always been afraid of his older brother Lu Chen. In addition, he and Xu Nuo had once been engaged, so he inexplicably always felt that his older brother looked at him in an oppressive way because of this matter.
So, Lu Cheng found an excuse not to go over for dinner.
The troops were more cautious as the New Year approached. In addition, he was the company leader, and there was a fine tradition of the troops' leaders taking the place of the soldiers on New Year's Eve. Therefore, since he couldn't bring himself to do it, Lu Chen didn't force it.
"Are you going to be on duty on New Year's Eve?" Xu Nuo asked him the day before.
"Not on duty." The regiment headquarters was not like the company. He was not assigned the duty post on New Year's Eve, so naturally he did not need to go.
"Then let me cook a few dishes and we can celebrate?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Okay." Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's spend this New Year's Eve with Brother Liao's family."
The two of them had discussed it over the past two days so that they wouldn't feel lonely without their relatives around.
"Okay, it'll be lively." Xu Nuo agreed.
"Then I will go to see Sister Qiu Ning tomorrow."
"Um."
The next day.
The sound of firecrackers continued to rang out in the yard. The teenagers were running around in the yard setting off all kinds of firecrackers and having a lot of fun.
Lu Chen went to the army to work early in the morning, leaving Xu Nuo to have a good sleep, and then he got up reluctantly.
"Xu Nuo, come out quickly, let's put up the couplets." Bai Qiu Ning called her through the window of Xu Nuo's house from outside.
Xu Nuo opened the window and shivered in the cold wind. He quickly hugged his arms and said, "I'm here, sister-in-law. Wait for me."
"Hurry up. I've prepared the couplets for you."
"Sister-in-law, you are really thoughtful."
Xu Nuo got dressed and went downstairs. When he opened the door, small snowflakes were falling outside.
She took a deep breath. The moist air carried the scent of Xiaoxue'er and a faint smell of gunpowder, which actually reminded her of her childhood.
"This feels so good." Xu Nuo smiled.
"What's so good about this?" Bai Qiuning stuffed the glue brush into her hand, "You apply the glue and I'll paste it."
Xu Nuo took the brush and applied the paste while listening to Bai Qiu Ning's chatter.
"It would be great if the snow got heavier, as it means a good harvest! Tonight we can cook some dishes, make some meat dumplings, and drink a couple of glasses of wine, which will be delicious."
Xu Nuo finished applying the paste and turned around to ask, "Sister-in-law, did you spend the New Year like this in previous years? Did Lu Chen also come to your house to celebrate the New Year?"
"No." Bai Qiu Ning said, "We have been to the army in previous years. There are big pot meals in the army, and leaders, families and soldiers have fun together. I thought it would be the same this year. Unexpectedly, it is not the case this year. But it is good this way. It is also fun for our small family to celebrate the New Year together."
Xu Nuo still wanted to experience the kind of joy and happiness that Bai Qiu Ning had described, celebrating the New Year together, but he didn't expect that he would have no chance this year.
In the troops.
Lu Chen, Liao Qing, Wu Yue and others sat around the table for a meeting.
"The situation this year is special, and we must do our best on every shift." Lu Chen said, "For the time being, we will not allow family members to spend the New Year in the army. The New Year gifts have been distributed to everyone. Unless there are special circumstances, everyone will go back to their own homes."
"I agree." Liao Qing said, "Special times call for special treatment. We all need to pay more attention to this matter. Often, people like this do not act alone."
"I think the situation mentioned by Lu Kun needs to be paid special attention to." Wu Yue reminded, "She may have undergone special training and has some extraordinary means."
Lu Chen nodded slightly: "I'll ask Xu Nuo to go to the hospital to ask if there is any special medicine that can make you unconscious for a moment?"
"Lin Ya should know about this, right? I'll go ask her later." Wu Yue said.
When this name was mentioned, Lu Chen's heart moved slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Don't do it for now. Don't make this matter public, the fewer people know about it, the less people know. It's better not to mention it to Lin Ya."
