Chapter 28: Meeting a Love Rival on the First Day of Joining the Army
"From the countryside? What's going on!!" A woman with curly hair asked the question that everyone was thinking.
Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Qiuning.
Bai Qiuning's husband Liao Qing is the regiment political commissar and Lu Chen's work partner. He is eight years older than Lu Chen and is 35 years old this year.
Bai Qiuning is ten years younger than her husband and also comes from the countryside.
Liao Qing usually works in the army, and Bai Qiu Ning takes care of the housework at home. Because she has a good temper, is hardworking and capable, and keeps the house in tidy order, she is particularly popular among military wives.
Bai Qiuning and her husband are remarried.
Liao Qing's original wife suffered a difficult labor during childbirth, resulting in the death of two children. Bai Qiu Ning and Liao Qing were from the same village and were neighbors. They got together after being introduced by their families.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her reply, Bai Qiuning smiled and said, "I'm not too sure about this. I heard it from my husband Liao. He said that Captain Lu's wife came from the mountainous area, and I heard that they were engaged when they were young."
As soon as these military wives heard about child marriage, they had some ideas in their minds.
"The married couples who grew up in the village are probably not that good. Captain Lu has such high standards that he doesn't even like the female soldiers in the art troupe, so how could he be interested in the married couples who grew up in the village?"
"Oh, you don't know this, right? Whenever this happens, it must be because the woman came to the door and threatened to make trouble in the army if you don't marry her. Who is Captain Lu? He must have agreed to it just to keep his word."
"Captain Lu is already 27 years old, so the girl who was betrothed as a child must be in her twenties, right? Oh, child betrothal is really harmful!"
"Captain Lu, a good cabbage was eaten by a pig from the countryside! If you ask me, he should have married your sister-in-law! Your sister-in-law is a doctor, she's not bad, and she likes Captain Lu so much... Oh."
Bai Qiuning smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't true? Ever since I found out about this, I've been crying every day at home."
"Poor Liao Hong."
Xu Nuo originally didn't intend to listen to these people's gossip, but he didn't expect that the content of the gossip actually involved himself everywhere, so he couldn't help but listen for a while.
It doesn't matter if you don't listen, but it's really scary when you hear it!
Good job!
It seems that I have a lot of rivals in love in the military compound!
It looks like there are more than one!
Tsk tsk tsk!
Xu Nuo didn't plan to listen any more. Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone calling her.
"Hey, the one in the red skirt, I'm talking about you."
Xu Nuo turned around and saw that the person talking to her was the woman who was staring at the wool curls. Her hair was so curly that it looked like a bowl of instant noodles was placed on her head.
"Are you talking about me?" Xu Nuo turned around.
"Yes! Why haven't I seen you here before? Are you new here?" the woman with ramen hair asked her.
Xu Nuo nodded: "Yeah. What's the matter with you calling me?"
"It's okay, I just asked casually because I haven't seen you before." said the woman with ramen hair.
"Hey, Mr. Zheng, stop asking nonsense questions. Look at the girl, you can tell at once that she is from the city. People from the city have high standards, how could they look down on us?" another woman muttered.
The noodle-haired woman snorted: "Let her be high, can't I ask?"
Since the other party had spoken to her, Xu Nuo asked casually: "I want to go to the service center in our compound. Which way should I go?"
"Walk out from here and turn left. Just turn left whenever you see a road. You will arrive in five minutes." Bai Qiu Ning answered her question.
Xu Nuo thanked him and turned to leave.
"Hey, girl, I see you are not very old, are you twenty?"
Bai Qiu Ning fell in love with this girl at first sight and thought she was pretty. Her younger brother from her natal family was also serving in the army thanks to her husband Liao Qing, and had just been promoted to platoon leader this year. She wanted to introduce this girl to her younger brother.
Xu Nuo's lips curved up, and dimples sank on both sides: "No, I just turned eighteen!"
"Wow, it's so juicy!" Bai Qiuning praised with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, you guys are busy, I'll leave first!"
After leaving these people, Xu Nuo went directly to the service center and first went to the counter to buy a few feet of cloth. Among the windows in the house, only Lu Chen's bedroom had curtains, and the other windows were bare. At night, one could see directly into the house from the outside, and it felt like there was no privacy at all.
The other part can be used as a tablecloth, which is both beautiful and dust-proof.
These cloths are colorful and can add a lot of life to the home.
After choosing the cloth, Xu Nuo saw someone selling vases, and the prices were quite cheap. She has always liked flowers, so she simply picked two vases.
After buying these things, Xu Nuo saw a lot of colorful cellophane in the window. She picked out all the pink and red cellophane, then paid and walked out.
Just as she reached the door, a young woman suddenly rushed in from outside.
Xu Nuo subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she was holding a bunch of things and her movements were a little slow, so the two of them bumped into each other magnificently.
After a series of crisp ding-dong sounds, the two vases in Xu Nuo's hands were smashed to pieces, with glass shards splattered everywhere.
Xu Nuo frowned and was about to speak, but she heard the young woman complaining about her first: "Don't you have eyes? Didn't you see someone coming in? Didn't you know to hide?"
As soon as she finished scolding Xu Nuo, the woman squatted down and picked up the things that fell on the ground.
Xu Nuo looked down and found that she had dropped a small box.
In front of Xu Nuo, the woman opened the box, revealing a men's watch.
Unfortunately, there is an obvious crack on the watch dial.
"Oh, it's broken!" The woman's tone was obviously anxious, "My watch is broken! It's all your fault for not paying attention when you walk. You have to pay for my watch! You have to pay!"
Xu Nuo was stunned by this woman's ability to turn the tables. It was clearly her who rushed in and bumped into someone, so how come in her mouth, the victim was actually herself?
"You can't blame me for this. You hit me first. I haven't asked you to compensate me for my things yet, so why are you the first to complain and blackmail me? You don't have to compensate for the things that fell on the ground that aren't broken. You only need to compensate me for the two vases, which is not much, only five dollars." Xu Nuo said.
"I'll compensate you? You're dreaming!" The woman said as if she had heard a joke, "Go to this courtyard and ask around to find out who I, Liao Hong, am..."
She stopped talking halfway. She had seen all the military families in the compound more or less before, but it seemed like she was seeing the girl in front of her for the first time.
I don’t know whose family she is from?
She paused and asked, "Who are you from? How come I have seen you before?"
Liao Hong?
When Xu Nuo heard this name, he just wanted to laugh.
Good job!
I encountered a love rival on the first day of joining the army!
"Liao Hong, right?" Xu Nuo simply looked her over and said directly, "Why do you ask me who I am from? If my family's position is not as high as your brother's, you can use the big to suppress the small, right?"
