Chapter 142: Nuonuo is still young, you... take it easy.
As soon as Cheng Wanying said this, Xu Nuo's face turned even redder.
What did she say?
Whatever you fear will come true.
Perhaps sensing the young couple's embarrassment, Cheng Wanying smiled and gave them a few more instructions: "Chenchen must be exhausted after just coming back from the disaster relief site, go to bed early. Mom has something to tell you tomorrow."
Lu Chen nodded slightly: "You should also go to bed early."
The next morning.
The sunlight came in through the kitchen window, illuminating Xu Nuo's busy figure.
She stood in front of the stove, holding a spatula in her hand, gently flipping the fried eggs in the pan. Her movements were a little slow. From time to time, she rubbed her waist with her hand, and there was a trace of fatigue on her face.
Cheng Wanying had just picked the vegetables and turned around just in time to see this scene.
Her eyes lingered on Xu Nuo's waist for a moment, and then she revealed a meaningful smile, and she understood in her heart.
After Lu Chenchen ran back, he entered the kitchen and saw Xu Nuo busy, so he walked over and naturally took the spatula from her hand, saying gently: "Let me do it, you go and take a rest."
Xu Nuo said softly: "No need, I'll be done soon."
Lu Chen pulled her aside without saying anything and gently pressed her shoulders: "Be obedient and go sit down."
Xu Nuo couldn't persuade him, so he had to sit down at the dining table obediently, but his hand unconsciously rubbed his waist again.
Cheng Wanying saw this scene. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, walked to Lu Chen, and said in a low voice: "Lu Chen, Nuonuo is still young, you... take it easy."
Hearing this, Lu Chen paused and then realized what Cheng Wanying meant.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure, coughed lightly, and whispered back: "Mom, I know, I will pay attention."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Cheng Wanying didn't say anything more. She just patted his shoulder and said with a hint of teasing, "Young people, enthusiasm is a good thing, but you have to know how to control yourself."
Lu Chen nodded, a rare look of embarrassment on his face. He turned to look at Xu Nuo, and saw that she was lowering her head and pretending not to hear, but her ears were red, and he couldn't help but laugh.
After breakfast was served, Wu Yue and Lu Cheng came over and sat down with their crutches.
Xu Nuo got up to serve the porridge and heard someone knocking on the door.
"I'll go open the door." Lu Chen stood up.
He opened the door and saw that the person standing at the door was Zhang Laishun from the reconnaissance company.
Zhang Laishun saw Lu Chen and quickly stood at attention and saluted: "Captain Lu! I'm here to give Auntie a train ticket and pick up Captain Lu back to our reconnaissance company."
As he spoke, he took out the train ticket from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.
Lu Chen glanced at the ticket, then glanced at the jeep parked at the door, and nodded slightly: "Come in."
Zhang Laishun glanced into the room and saw that everyone was eating: "No, I'll just wait in the car."
"That's fine."
How could Zhang Laishun dare to do that? Last time, he "acted out loud" in front of Lu Chen, saying that the other person was an old cow eating young grass, which made the scene very embarrassing.
"No, Captain. I'll just wait in the car and take a nap for two minutes."
Seeing that he was determined not to come in, Lu Chen no longer forced him.
"I seemed to hear Zhang Laishun's voice." Lu Cheng said vaguely while chewing a steamed bun.
"It's him, here to take you back to the company." Lu Chen said, handing the train ticket to Cheng Wanying, "Mom, are you going back to Beijing today?"
"Oh, my train ticket is here." Cheng Wanying quickly took the ticket and took a look. The train was at 2:30 in the afternoon. "I wanted to tell you about this last night. I have to go back. I've been away for quite a while. Yiyi is also sick, so I should go back too."
"Then I'll take you there this afternoon."
Cheng Wanying nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you to go there."
"Mom, you're so polite."
Seeing that everyone was leaving, Wu Yue couldn't stay any longer: "How about I also..."
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "I'm on vacation at home for a week, why are you running away? Stay and relax."
"Okay then." Wu Yue agreed.
Lu Cheng finished his meal in big gulps, put his bowl and chopsticks on the table, stood up and said, "Mom, brother and sister-in-law, brother Yue, I'm leaving first. I'm almost recovered from my injuries, so I'll go back to the company."
Seeing that he had indeed recovered a lot, Lu Chen did not force him to stay: "Okay."
Lu Cheng was picked up by Zhang Laishun. In the afternoon, Lu Chen and Xu Nuo sent Cheng Wanying away and returned home.
After entering the compound, I happened to meet He Kuan.
He took the initiative to step forward and greet Lu Chen and exchange a few words.
From Lu Chen, I learned that Wu Yue did not return to the army, but stayed at Lu's house for a few days to recuperate.
His intuition told him that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
When he got home, he went straight to Lu Hongying and said, "Wife, Deputy Commander Wu is recovering at Commander Lu's home. Do you think we should go visit him?"
Li Hongying was doing needlework. When she heard what He Kuan said, she immediately agreed: "Okay, go buy some nutritional supplements, and when Cuiying comes back, we'll go over and take a look together."
"Where is she?" He Kuan asked.
"I'm going to sell roast chicken. I'll definitely be back before dinner."
He Kuan listened to his wife and went to the credit union to buy a lot of things - fruits, milk powder, malted milk, biscuits and canned food.
When he got home, Li Cuiying had already returned and was happily trying on clothes.
"This dress looks familiar." He Kuan said casually.
"This dress is mine." This tweed jacket is the best piece in Li Hongying's wardrobe. Its maroon color makes it look particularly festive.
Li Cuiying had always liked her sister's dress and always wanted to wear her clothes, but her sister wouldn't let her.
She was going on a blind date today, and Li Hongying gritted her teeth and took out this dress.
Li Cuiying put on the new dress and looked in the mirror, she was so beautiful that she couldn't stop smiling: "Sister, this dress suits me very well. Otherwise, you can give it to me."
Li Hongying looked embarrassed and was about to speak, but He Kuan spoke first.
"If you could marry Deputy Commander Wu, would you still worry about not having good clothes to wear? He would give you a monthly allowance of more than 100 yuan, and he could buy you a new coat every two or three months."
Li Cuiying thought about it and realized it was the same thing: "Brother-in-law, do you think that Deputy Head Wu would like me?"
"Yes." He Kuan said, "Always pay attention to your words and actions, and don't bring the country woman's ways with you. You still have hope."
Li Cuiying curled her lips: "Just beat around the bush and call me a shrew."
"Your brother-in-law didn't mean that."
"Okay, stop protecting her. Hurry up and cook. After dinner, we can go see Deputy Captain Wu." Li Cuiying urged.
She thought about it for most of the night last night. Even if Deputy Captain Wu was not good-looking, she would accept it.
After all, he is the leader of the group and is provided with a car for traveling.
How impressive it would be if this were made known to others!
After marrying Wu Yue, she earns more than 100 yuan a month. She doesn’t even have to sell roasted chickens. She can just enjoy her life in peace!
