Chapter 30: Something His Wife Can Do
Lu Chen doesn't like sweets.
He also couldn't understand what was so good about soda.
Since Liao Qing brought it up, Lu Chen thought that maybe he should go in and take a look. Just as he was about to take a step, he heard Liao Qing speak again.
"That's right. You probably don't have any feelings for your childhood sweetheart, right? You're such a good person, but it's really unfair for you to marry him. Forget it. It depends on your mood whether to coax him or not."
He seldom says such things to others. Once married, they are husband and wife and should jointly maintain their relationship.
But when he thought about the child bride who came from the mountains, he had a hunch that it was not a good marriage.
Being able to marry a man like Lu Chen, the young wife is considered to have made a fortune, but it's a pity for Lu Chen.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Lu Chen said, and followed Liao Qing into the service center.
"Auntie Tong, two bottles of soda, please." Liao Qing said.
Aunt Tong saw him coming and said with a smile: "You come here every now and then to buy soda for your wife and sister, why don't you just carry a box back home."
Liao Qing smiled and said, "Then it will take three days to finish the work. Anyway, I buy things on the way home from get off work, so it's convenient to bring two bottles of soda."
"Okay." Aunt Tong agreed and turned her gaze to Lu Chen. "What about you? What do you want, Xiao Lu?"
"Two bottles of soda." Lu Chen said.
"I see. I bought it for your wife."
Lu Chen nodded: "Yes."
Aunt Tong gave each of them two bottles of soda. While they were paying, she said to Liao Qing, "Today your sister had a quarrel with a little girl. It started because she bumped into the girl when she came in to buy something, broke her vase, and her watch fell to the ground. As a result, she asked the girl to pay for it and used your name to pressure the girl."
When Liao Qing heard this, his brows knitted together: "There is such a thing?"
He knew better than anyone what kind of person his sister was.
"Isn't it? That girl looks fair and pretty, with two sweet dimples when she smiles, but she's not someone you can easily mess with. People know she's your sister, and they say if Liao Hong acts unreasonably, they'll report you to the army, saying you're allowing your family members to use their status to bully others."
Liao Qing was so angry that his nose was crooked: "Aunt Tong, what kind of person is Liao Hong? Don't you know better than me? Why did you watch her bully others and do nothing?"
Aunt Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Liao Hong was choked by the words. She was afraid of getting you into trouble, so she obediently compensated the other person for the vase."
Hearing this, Liao Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this girl has some brains and can consider the overall situation. Otherwise, if someone reported him, he would really be criticized and punished.
After leaving the credit union, Liao Qing thought more and more about this matter. He turned around and asked Lu Chen, "Who wouldn't be worried when seeing my devilish sister? I didn't expect that she would be dealt with by a little girl. That girl is also talented. You said she even wanted to report me to the army... It's really interesting."
Lu Chen pursed his lips, without much expression on his face.
However, he wondered in his heart, why did the girl Aunt Tong mentioned look so much like Xu Nuo?
The two of them were talking, and before they knew it they were at the doorstep of their home.
They both had the same military rank and lived in the same building, not very far from each other.
Lu Chen arrived home first.
When he opened the door with the key, the first thing that caught his eye was the vase on the coffee table in the living room. It was summer, and the vegetable fields in the courtyard were full of various wild flowers, which looked colorful. At this moment, the vase on his coffee table was full of wild flowers.
Wild flowers are not precious, but they are extremely full of vitality, and their leaves and flowers gently sway in the breeze.
Lu Chen turned his head and looked at the window again. A curtain with a white background and light blue flowers was hanging on the half-open window.
The fluttering curtains brought a touch of warmth to this originally cold home.
"You're back!" Xu Nuo came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron around her waist and holding two plates of food in her hands. "It's time to eat. My cooking skills are average, so don't hold your hopes too high. At least you'll be able to eat and not starve to death."
Lu Chen: "I'm not picky."
"Go wash your hands. After dinner, I'll show you something!" Xu Nuo brought the food to the table.
"good."
Dinner was simple. The steamed buns were bought from the canteen. Xu Nuo cooked two bowls of porridge and fried two small green vegetables.
The two of them were eating, and Lu Chen suddenly asked, "Are you going to the service center today?"
"Yes." Xu Nuo nodded, "I also met Liao Qing's sister. Liao Qing is your work partner?"
Hearing her say this, Lu Chen knew that the girl who had clashed with Liao Hong today was her.
Thinking of what Aunt Tong said today, Lu Chen looked at her one more time.
yes.
This is what Xu Nuo can do.
"You've found a job." Lu Chen changed the subject and mentioned her work. "The army will temporarily arrange for you to work in the clinic in the compound for a period of time. When there is a vacancy in the military hospital, you will be transferred there."
Xu Nuo was quite surprised: "Can I go to the military hospital?"
She was fully prepared, thinking that the most likely scenario was that she would be assigned to work at a local hospital.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen said to arrange her in the military hospital, which was beyond her expectations.
The military hospitals have good resources and good treatment, much better than local hospitals.
"Yes. But you have to go through a selection test! You have to pass it before you can fill the vacancy."
To put it bluntly, this requires real skills and real kung fu.
"That's no problem." Xu Nuo said confidently.
"You can report to the health center tomorrow. You will start work at 8 am and finish at 5 pm. Whether you need to work overtime depends on the arrangements there."
"Yeah." Xu Nuo nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, you've worked hard."
Lu Chen raised his eyes and frowned slightly: "No need to be so polite. Let's eat!"
Xu Nuo lowered her head and continued eating. The summer weather was hot and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Lu Chen suddenly remembered the two bottles of soda he had bought. He stood up and took the orange-flavored soda on the cabinet at the door: "This is for you."
Xu Nuo was surprised: "Oh, there's soda to drink! That's great!"
When Lu Chen saw her happy, he knew that he had made the right purchase.
He opened the bottle cap with two chopsticks and handed the soda to Xu Nuo: "Two bottles, both are yours."
"Okay!" Xu Nuo smiled, and the dimples on the corners of his mouth appeared again.
"Oh my god, this soda is so delicious! Brother, why don't you just buy a box!" People were also having dinner at Liao Qing's home a few steps away. At the dinner table, Liao Hong drank a bottle of soda in one breath.
After drinking it, she still felt unsatisfied.
Liao Qing was stunned when he saw his sister drinking soda. After a while, he found his voice again: "Liao Hong, the cow in our village plowed two acres of land and its throat was so thirsty that it smoked, but it couldn't catch up with your rude posture of drinking soda. With someone like you, not only will Lu Chen reject you, no man would want you."
Liao Hong put the bottle on the table with a bang and put her hands on her hips angrily: "Brother, you always say this!"
Liao Qing: "You never change! Look at your energy, you are just like Sun Erniang who runs a black shop! You are a girl, can you be gentler and more graceful? Don't be so rude!"
"Sister-in-law! Look at him, you should control your man!" Liao Hong always brings Bai Qiu Ning into the discussion whenever she is not polite.
Bai Qiuning smiled and said, "Liao Qing, don't bother with her today. She's in a bad mood. She's not always like this on weekdays."
Liao Qing snorted, "It's not uncommon to be like this on weekdays. You're in a bad mood every day. No matter how bad your mood is, are you as bad as Lu Chen? He married a bad wife, and he didn't even give out wedding candy."
Liao Hong was unhappy about Lu Chen's marriage. After hearing what her brother said, she hurriedly asked, "Have you seen what his wife looks like?"
Liao Qing shook his head: "No. Let's not ask so many questions. This is someone else's private matter. Let's not ask."
Today, no one in the army dared to mention this matter.
In the morning, Lu Chen held a meeting with the military directors and staff officers of several battalions, without a single smile on his face.
Everyone discussed the matter and agreed that the captain's wife was not a good one. She didn't even mention giving them wedding candy, so everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter to avoid bringing bad luck.
Liao Hong wanted to go and see him, so she urged her brother: "Let's go and see him. He is your partner. You have worked together from the battalion-level position to the regiment-level position. You should show some appreciation for his marriage."
Liao Qing just said two words: "No."
Liao Hong pulled Bai Qiuning's sleeve: "Sister-in-law, look at my brother..."
Bai Qiu Ning was also quite interested in Lu Chen's wife. She had an extremely gossipy heart.
Since Liao Hong had brought it up, she took the opportunity to say, "You should go and see them anyway. After all, they're married, and you two have a good relationship. If you don't go, then just ignore it."
Liao Qing was annoyed to death by the two women, but he also felt that it made sense, so he agreed: "Okay, let's eat quickly, and then we'll go to Lao Lu's house for a walk and take a look."
