Chapter 291: Disagreement
"Mom, what's wrong? Who made you angry?" Ling Sheng asked with a faint smile on his face.
"Nothing." Qin Huayun was in a bad mood at the moment, but didn't really want to say anything.
Last time she discovered that her stepson was very protective of Xu Nuo, and the two of them almost parted on bad terms.
So, this time she decided to be more cautious.
"You seem to be in a good mood today. Is there anything good about your work? Tell me about it."
Ling Sheng's mouth curled up slightly: "It's nothing. I told you, I don't know if you like to hear it."
It sounded like there was some happy news at work, so Qin Huayun was naturally very interested: "My son is very modest. How about I guess?"
"Okay." Seeing that she was quite interested, Ling Sheng didn't say anything and let her guess.
"Are you going to be selected as an advanced individual? Or have you published an academic paper?"
“Neither.”
"What is that?" Qin Huayun couldn't think of anything more pleasing than this. "Then I can't guess, you can just tell me."
"She completed the promised mission and did it very well. I heard that she was praised by the Military Region Health Department, and Dean Qi was very satisfied with her..."
Before Ling Sheng could finish his words, Qin Huayun's face drooped.
"No wonder she was so happy when I met her today, it turns out it was because of this!"
Ling Sheng was stunned: "Have you met?"
Qin Huayun curled her lips and said, "Meeting? No. How can she still have me in her eyes now? She is only concerned with being complacent about her achievements."
The same argument again!
Ling Sheng felt a headache.
She didn't know when it started or why, but her dissatisfaction and resentment towards Xu Nuo suddenly became stronger.
"Mom, she definitely didn't see you. She still has the proper manners." Ling Sheng explained for Xu Nuo.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Qin Huayun glanced at her son and couldn't help but say, "You really support her! But it's a pity, if you could have met her earlier, she might have become your wife."
"Mom! What you said is wrong... Xu Nuo and I can never be a family. It's immoral to break up other people's marriages. Besides, I can see that Xu Nuo loves her husband Lu Chen."
What's more, destroying a military marriage is a crime, and he can't do such a thing.
Qin Huayun didn't say anything else, otherwise, this would be like "there is no point in talking."
Both mother and son restrained themselves a little, preventing the conversation from escalating to a worse point.
Qin Huayun temporarily lost interest in talking to Ling Sheng, and got up and went into the kitchen to cook.
"Mom, let me do it. You go and rest." Ling Sheng said.
"No, I'm just bored and it would be nice to have some work to do. If you're willing, you can help me."
"Okay, I'll help you then."
The days in summer are exceptionally long. It is already past six o'clock, and the sun is still bright outside.
Xu Nuo returned to the compound and went straight to the service center, bought some vegetables and meat, and prepared to make something delicious in the evening to reward himself.
When she walked in, Aunt Tong hadn't gotten off work yet.
Seeing her coming to buy food, Aunt Tong greeted her warmly: "It's time to get off work! Today's fish is newly arrived and very fresh. You can take two home to eat."
"Okay, I haven't eaten fish for a long time. Please help me choose one. It shouldn't be too big, and Lu Chen and I should be able to finish it in one meal." Xu Nuo said.
"How can one be enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough! Really enough!" Xu Nuo said hurriedly, "We've both been very busy lately, and he hasn't had time to buy a refrigerator. He bought too much fish, and he can't eat it or store it. It's too hot in the summer, and it's easy to spoil."
"That's true." Aunt Tong nodded and picked out a lively fish for Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo bought some vegetables and meat and was about to pay for them all: "Aunt Tong, can you please calculate how much do I need to pay in total?"
"What's the money? Don't worry, just think of it as auntie treating you."
"That won't do! Let's make things clear." Xu Nuo refused.
The two of them argued for a while, and finally, Aunt Tong gave her a fish.
"By the way, don't leave yet. Send another fish to Bai Qiuning." Aunt Tong said, "She has a happy event."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nuo understood.
"Okay, I'll take this job."
Aunt Tong also picked one for Bai Qiuning, strung it with a hemp rope and handed it to Xu Nuo: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Aunt Tong, you're welcome." Xu Nuo thought of Lu Junjun in the hospital and briefly told her the situation.
Aunt Tong said, "Old Lu and I both know about this. Although they can't come back to live here, Old Lu still calls them every day to show his concern. Junjun is the sweetheart of the second brother's family. He turned a disaster into a blessing this time, and he has to thank you for your help."
"Don't say that. It's because Junjun has a good health and is blessed. In addition, the doctors in the department have worked together to achieve this result."
"Thank you anyway."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xu Nuo was anxious to go home to cook, thus ending the conversation.
Xu Nuo went back to his own home first, put down the things he bought, and then went to Bai Qiuning's house next door.
She knocked on the door twice, and after a while, Liao Hong came out to open the door.
"Xu Nuo, you're back! Where did you go these days? My sister-in-law and I were still talking about you two."
"I'm on a business trip." Xu Nuo shook the fish in his hand, "Aunt Tong asked me to bring you a fish."
"Come in quickly!" Liao Hong took the fish and led Xu Nuo into the house.
Bai Qiu Ning was sitting on the sofa eating melon seeds. When she saw Xu Nuo coming, she called her over to eat with them.
"Sister-in-law Qiu Ning, congratulations!" Xu Nuo smiled and congratulated, "You are going to be a mother! Brother Liao must be cherishing you to the sky, right?"
"Who said it wasn't!" Liao Hong poured two glasses of water and brought them over, one for Xu Nuo and one for her sister-in-law. "My sister-in-law is now a first-class protected animal in my family, more precious than a giant panda! My brother doesn't even dare to speak loudly now, for fear of scaring his children."
"Sister-in-law, you are very happy!" Xu Nuo said with a smile, "You won't have to worry about being in a bad mood if you marry a man like this."
"It's okay." Bai Qiu Ning was obviously very satisfied and replied with a smile.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not bad...Your requirements are really high." Liao Hong rolled her eyes and complained to Xu Nuo, "Now that this couple has a baby, they don't care about their sister's marriage at all."
Bai Qiu Ning reached out and poked her forehead. "You have no conscience. Who would introduce you to someone you don't want? The person your brother introduced to you recently is at least a reinforced platoon, if not a company, right?"
"What nonsense! Who would like such a jerk?"
"Let me keep an eye out for you." Xu Nuo volunteered, "There are quite a few unmarried young men in our company. If there's a suitable one, would you like to meet them?"
"Forget it, I don't want to find a doctor." Liao Hong said, "I just want to find someone like Wu Yue, who doesn't have a pretty face."
Xu Nuo: "Your requirements are too high. Most people really can't satisfy you."
"Don't worry about her, let's talk." Bai Qiuning held Xu Nuo's hand and asked some questions about what to pay attention to during pregnancy.
Xu Nuo glanced at the nice weather outside the window and said, "You should go out and move around more. Look, the courtyard is now shaded by green trees, and the evening breeze is not so hot. It will be good for you and the child to walk around and breathe some outdoor air."
Bai Qiu Ning said quickly, "Don't dare! Don't dare go out! You haven't been in the hospital these two days, so you don't know that someone in the hospital has recently had measles!"
