Chapter 27 His young wife is very ambitious
Seeing Lu Chen asking this, Xu Nuo was curious and puzzled: "What's wrong? Is this a book I can't read?"
Before Lu Chen could answer, she regretted asking this question.
But they just got married. Even though they are husband and wife, they don’t even have a foundation of love. Do you have to interfere with someone reading a book?
She doesn't want to be that kind of woman!
It's just a book, so what if I don't read it? Who still has secrets and privacy?
"Forget it, I don't want to watch it anymore." Xu Nuo changed his mind again.
Lu Chen nodded: "Okay."
Xu Nuo was quite surprised by his answer. He agreed so readily?
She was a little glad that she didn't insist on reading the book just now.
Xu Nuo picked up the bowl and finished eating. He heard Lu Chen continue to say: "I am on duty once every seven days. If there is no special situation, I will usually come home."
"Okay. I understand." Xu Nuo responded.
Soon, the dinner table fell into silence.
The two of them ate a few mouthfuls of food in silence, and Xu Nuo felt that he should explain something to Lu Chen.
So she said, "I will tidy up my room these few days and get familiar with the surroundings. But I don't want to stay idle at home all the time."
Lu Chen heard the hidden meaning in her words. He knew that she had tried to look for a job when she was in Beijing before, but failed because of the household registration problem.
"The army can arrange jobs for military dependents. What kind of work do you want to do?" Lu Chen looked up at her.
"Doctor." Xu Nuo said, "Preferably a pediatrician. My grandmother and I have studied pediatrics."
Lu Chen recalled the night when she saved Lu Yiyi, and felt that her medical skills were reliable: "Okay, it's OK."
Although this was the first time Xu Nuo married a soldier and lived in a military compound, she had heard about things going on in the military family compound before.
This place is like a small society, with service centers, kindergartens, clinics, canteens, barber shops and the like.
If he were to arrange a job for her, Lu Chen would most likely arrange it for her to work in the clinic nearby in the compound.
It was close to home, but she didn't really want to work here.
To put it bluntly, she is actually just an ordinary person, and she also hopes that she can have a bigger stage. She studied for eight years for her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. She studied for so long not just to treat patients with headaches and fevers.
She wanted to go to a big hospital, with more abundant medical resources and opportunities for advancement.
Perhaps in the 1970s and 1980s when medicine was not very developed, she could have used the advanced medicine she had learned to make a difference and benefit the children of that era.
So she added: "It would be better if we could go to the hospital."
Lu Chen really didn't expect that his young wife was such an ambitious person. She was not satisfied with the clinic in the compound and actually wanted to go to the hospital.
Soon, he found out what kind of job she went out to look for that day when it was pouring rain. She must have gone to look for a job in the hospital.
"It depends on the opportunity." It was not up to him to decide where he would be assigned. It depended on the arrangement of the army. "If there is a possibility, I will fight for you."
Lu Chen kept his word.
Xu Nuo believed him, so he smiled brightly: "Okay, thank you!"
Lu Chen happened to see her smile clearly.
No wonder she smiles so sweetly, it turns out she has a pair of small dimples on both sides of her lips.
It is not very obvious when you smile, but as soon as your smile becomes brighter, the dimples become so clear.
He had never noticed it before.
After breakfast, Lu Chen put on his military uniform and went out to work. After Xu Nuo washed the dishes, he went directly to the storage room on the second floor to pack the luggage that he had not had time to pack yesterday.
Her mother-in-law helped her pack this suitcase. She only knew that there were a lot of things in it, but she didn't know what they were.
Now that I open it, it is really an eye-opener - peach biscuits, cakes, chocolate, luncheon meat and canned food.
My mother-in-law really raised her like a little girl, giving her a lot of snacks.
Xu Nuo took out this layer of things. The layer below was two large jars of pickled radish. She remembered that Aunt Lin had mentioned at the dinner table that Lu Chen liked to eat this kind of pickled radish the most. She guessed that these were for Lu Chen.
In addition to the pickles, there was also a red box. She opened it and saw a pair of watches with a note inside. She read the contents of the note and found out that it was a gift from her father-in-law Lu Huaizheng.
On the next level down is a big bag full of candies, peanuts and melon seeds. These should be prepared for Lu Chen's colleagues. He is getting married, so he should give out some wedding candies.
Xu Nuo regretted opening the box late, he should have opened it last night.
She thought that was all, but she didn't expect that underneath the candies and peanuts was a stack of red envelopes.
These were all sent by family members. Xu Nuo had clearly refused them that day, but unexpectedly he was still allowed in.
Lu Cheng gave double the portion.
One is the one in front of me, and the other is tucked inside the book "Armored Warfare" that he gave me.
Xu Nuo packed up his things and counted the red envelopes, which totaled nearly a hundred yuan.
The house happened to be empty, and she wanted to buy some things for the house, so she took out two bills from the house and put them in her pocket. As for the pile of candies, nuts and the like, she decided to pack them up and wait for Lu Chen to come back in the evening, then give them to him and let him distribute them to his colleagues.
Before leaving, Xu Nuo called his home in Beijing. It happened that Cheng Wanying answered the phone. She first briefly talked about her life yesterday and today, and finally thanked her mother-in-law for taking the trouble to prepare the gift for her.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo pushed the door and walked out.
Opposite this row of small buildings is a row of locust trees with thick trunks and lush branches and leaves. It is noon, and the sparse sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
There was a group of women sitting under the tree, about seven or eight of them, some younger and some slightly older, none of them looked over fifty years old.
They sat under the tree, each busy with their own work, chattering about their own men and children. Each of them had a smile on their face and was talking happily.
I don't know who started the conversation first: "Hey, did you hear? I heard that Captain Lu got married."
"I heard about it. This incident caused quite a stir in the army. Captain Lu is already 27 years old, and the leaders in the army are anxious to help him solve his personal problems. All kinds of beautiful girls are stuffed into his arms! Guess what? He doesn't like any of them!"
"Who said it wasn't? Aren't the female soldiers in the art troupe eye-catching? I didn't like any of them! I don't know what kind of person I'm marrying this time."
"He is the son of a senior leader in the army. The one who can marry him is definitely not an ordinary person. His status must be extraordinary, right? Hey, Qiu Ning, tell everyone, aren't your man and Captain Lu a work partner?"
Bai Qiuning was knitting a sweater for her husband. When she heard someone asking her a question, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Neither. I heard she was a girl from the countryside."
