Chapter 76 The duck is cooked and its mouth is hard.
"You're of absolutely no use! Erzhuang, don't drag me into this if you want to get yourself killed!" After saying that, Dazhuang moved the telescope towards other people's homes.
At this time, he saw Liao Qing wandering around the house with his bare chest and waving a fan, and he also saw Bai Qiu Ning standing on a stool to hang clothes on the balcony.
The red panties fluttering in the sun were particularly eye-catching.
"If you don't go and steal, I will. You protect me from the wind!" Er Zhuang said as he was about to slide down from the tree trunk.
Da Zhuang slapped him on the head and said, "Aren't you stupid? Today is our day off and it's noon. Aren't you afraid of being discovered if you go stealing at this time? If you want to steal, you should wait until they go to work!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"Wait." Seeing Er Zhuang insisting on stealing Xu Nuo's nightgown, Da Zhuang couldn't help but ask, "Why did you steal someone else's skirt?"
Er Zhuang chuckled: "It's useful, don't ask yet. You will know when the time comes!"
Da Zhuang: “I have a hunch.”
Er Zhuang: "What premonition?"
Da Zhuang: "Your legs are going to be broken by our dad!"
"Bah, bah, bah! You have a crow's mouth!"
Xu Nuo came to the gate of the army holding an umbrella and carrying a basket. A sentry came down from his post and stopped her with a salute.
"Hello comrade, I'm here to deliver food to Captain Lu. Could you please make a phone call for me?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Okay, please wait."
The sentry in the booth was about to pick up the phone to call Lu Chen when Xu Nuo saw a tall and slender figure walking towards him from afar.
That figure looked very much like Lu Chen.
She squinted her eyes and took a closer look. It was indeed Lu Chen: "No need to fight, he's already here."
Lu Chen saw Xu Nuo waiting at the door and quickened his pace to walk out.
"Are you hungry? I made a lot of food for you..." Xu Nuo said as he handed him the basket and pointed at the paper tag on the lunch box. "Look, there are braised spareribs, boiled fish, stir-fried prawns, minced garlic eggplant, sugar-coated tomatoes, and cucumber vermicelli. Your cafeteria should have rice, right? I didn't bring any for you."
"How did you do so much?" Lu Chen was a little surprised. Seeing the sweat running down her cheek, he subconsciously went to wipe it for her. "Thank you for walking such a long way in such a hot day."
Xu Nuo's lips curved up, revealing a hint of a smile: "I haven't cooked for you much these days, so I'll make a little more today since I have time. It's not hard work! Hurry up and take it in, or it won't taste good if it's left out for too long."
"good."
"Then I'm going back."
Lu Chen nodded slightly.
Xu Nuo walked back holding an umbrella. In the sunlight, his two slender legs looked particularly white and conspicuous.
Lu Chen didn't rush back. He just stood at the door and watched Xu Nuo walking further and further away.
A group of young soldiers who had just returned from the street passed by Xu Nuo. Someone whistled at Xu Nuo twice, and then they all stopped, looked at Xu Nuo and joked with each other.
"Where did this girl come from? She's prettier than the girls in the art troupe."
"Whose partner is this? So lucky!"
"Hey, do you dare to go up and ask for contact information or something? Maybe you can really find a partner in the future!!"
"She's so fair and tender, I'm afraid I can't afford to keep her..."
A group of people walked to the entrance of the regiment while talking and laughing. Suddenly, someone saw Lu Chen standing next to the sentry post. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, his face was stern, and his eyes were serious and sharp.
Everyone braked suddenly, stood straight, raised their hands and saluted: "Captain!"
Lu Chen's eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a loud voice, "Everyone, put down what you are holding and run five kilometers in the training ground! You must finish it within nineteen minutes! If you are one minute late, you must do one hundred push-ups! Follow the order!"
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to ask why. They just answered in unison: "Yes!"
Wu Yue was waiting impatiently for his meal in the office. He stood up to stretch his arms and legs, then stood in front of the window. He unexpectedly saw a group of soldiers sweating profusely under the scorching sun at noon.
He pushed open the window with a bang, watched for two minutes, and couldn't help but sigh: "How hardworking! Training in the middle of the day, I don't know which devil instructor ordered them to do this, aren't they afraid of getting a heat stroke?"
The door behind him rang, and Wu Yue turned around, just in time to see Lu Chen coming in with a basket.
He took them without hesitation and opened the lunch boxes one by one: "Oh! Your wife is really good! She sent so many dishes here... I am also benefiting from you today."
"I've never seen you so greedy before." Lu Chen glanced at him.
"You sound resentful," Wu Yue grinned, "Are you still feeling sorry for him? Let me guess, based on your personality, you must be thanking your young wife again, right?"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it as it should be?"
Wu Yue raised his hand and knocked on the table: "What are you thanking me for? Husband and wife are always so polite to each other, when can you be more intimate? Hmm? When have you ever seen a couple in love being so polite? The polite ones are still treating each other as outsiders..."
"Eat." Lu Chen didn't say anything.
But looking at his expression, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"By the way, there is a group of people running in circles downstairs. Who is so heartless that lets them run? Don't you have any sympathy for the soldiers..."
"Me." Lu Chen picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and put it into his mouth. It tasted surprisingly good. "I saw them whistling at the woman at the door and talking about her behind her back."
"There's such a thing? They are rebelling against us! They deserve to be punished!"
In this era, the frivolous behavior of soldiers whistling at women is a violation of military discipline and the image requirements of soldiers. In addition to being punished, they should also receive corresponding educational criticism.
"Wait." Wu Yue seemed to have remembered something and asked hurriedly, "That woman... couldn't she be Xu Nuo?"
Lu Chen didn't say anything.
Seeing his expression, Wu Yue knew it was true. He couldn't help but laugh: "I knew it!"
Lu Chen frowned and glanced at him: "Whether that person made a promise or not, this is a violation of military discipline. I am not seeking revenge for personal gain! Do you understand?"
Wu Yue chuckled: "I understand, I understand!"
Lu Chen said nothing more, lowered his head and ate quietly.
Wu Yue: "You're really not angry at all? It's all for the public? To be honest, it's not shameful! The biggest problem with you is that you don't have a big mouth. It can drive people crazy!"
"Yes. Both. Wu Yue, I am also a human being!"
Wu Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Lu Chen, you are just a stubborn person! You didn't admit it just now, but now you are embarrassed, right? You deserve it!"
"Stop talking nonsense, finish your meal and continue the meeting!"
The sun sets.
Lu Chen finally finished his work and went home. Just as he was about to open the door with his key, he saw Bai Qiu Ning coming back from the east, sweating and covered in dust.
"Captain Lu, you're back? Your Xu Nuo is not at home. She is working in the northeast corner of the compound!" Bai Qiu Ning said with a smile.
"Isn't the northeast corner a wasteland?" Lu Chen asked.
"Yes." Bai Qiu Ning said, "That piece of land is not small. It's just lying there anyway. Didn't the leaders above say that we can use the land rationally? We plan to plant some crops there. It just so happens that your Xu Nuo is free, so we took her over! As a result, she is also interested and is digging the land there. I won't talk to you for now. I'm so thirsty. I'll go back and drink some water first."
Seeing her hurriedly open the door and go home, Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and decided to go home first.
After entering the house, he filled a military kettle with water, wet a white towel and put it on his arm, then went out carrying the kettle.
As soon as she reached the edge of the wasteland in the northeast corner, she saw Xu Nuo digging the ground hard.
Xu Nuo grew up in a city of reinforced concrete and had never done farm work. When Bai Qiu Ning pulled her over to open up the land, she was full of curiosity and wanted to experience the leisurely pastoral life described by literati.
However, it is now discovered that this is not the case at all.
Others were digging the ground easily, but when it came to her, the hoe was either tilted to the left or to the right, and she almost hit her feet several times.
She claims to be no fool.
When I got here, it was like the first day I got to know my hands and feet. I couldn't coordinate them properly, and after a few tries, blisters appeared on my palms.
"Hey, Xu Nuo, are you from our countryside? How come you don't even know how to farm? Look at the work you have done, it's not even as good as that done by a dog!" The person who spoke was Gou Yuexiang.
When she saw Xu Nuo couldn't do any work, she came over and mocked her.
"Sister Gou, although I came from the countryside, I have never worked in the fields. I have always been learning medicine from my grandmother." This was the only answer Xu Nuo could give.
She was not the original owner and could not explain why she couldn't dig the ground.
Gou Yuexiang listened with disgust: "We rural people don't know how to do farm work, isn't that forgetting our roots? We women should be more virtuous, do the work well, take good care of men, and this family can be considered a home. Don't just have a vixen-like body and think that you can rely on that to hook a man's heart, everyone will get old one day, right?"
Xu Nuo felt something was not right when hearing this.
I feel like Gou Yuexiang is making innuendos.
"Sister Gou, are you talking about me?" Xu Nuo asked directly.
Gou Yuexiang smiled sarcastically: "No? Are you overthinking it? I can't even talk about my own family affairs, how can I talk about you?"
Xu Nuo smiled and replied, "Isn't that right? I also think that you are too full to worry about your own family and you have to interfere in other people's affairs. Let's not talk about anything else, just use your face and body to hook a man's heart, the premise is that you have to have the capital. If you are like some people with a face as dark as a Li Kui, a body that is thick as a cylinder but not tall, and all waist except butt, how can you attract men?"
"puff--"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The wives of the soldiers who were busy reclaiming the land around them couldn't help but laugh.
Gou Yuexiang was furious. She stared at the thick flesh on her belly and shouted angrily, "Xu Nuo, you are talking about me!!"
Xu Nuo waved his hands repeatedly: "How can that be possible? Don't take it personally! If you insist on scolding me, then there's nothing I can do about it!!"
Gou Yuexiang was upset, but she couldn't refute Xu Nuo's words, so she could only say bitterly: "How can I say that I am older than you? I am saying these two words to you for your own good! You only keep yourself skinny and tender, you don't have the style of us working people at all! Look at your hands, aren't those the hands of a capitalist lady? Are they the hands of someone who does farm work?"
"Sister-in-law, you can't take advantage of your age and talk about capitalist girls all the time. Didn't you just say it wasn't me? Why are you so anxious to slap yourself in the face now?"
If she doesn't treat me well, then there's no need for me to give her face.
Gou Yuexiang had never lost an argument before, but was repeatedly confronted by Xu Nuo. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to curse like a rural shrew.
"Sister-in-law, you're right. Xu Nuo's hands are not for farm work." Lu Chen came over with a kettle, handed the towel to Xu Nuo, and continued, "She has been studying medicine since she was a child. Her hands are used to hold a stethoscope, prescribe medicine, perform surgery, and save lives. As for the farm work in the fields, I'll do it. I'm a man, I can't just sit there doing nothing and ask my wife to do this hard work."
