Chapter 156 Another Rival Appears



The radios that Gu Changzheng brought back all had the same problem. After he repaired one, the rest were done quickly.

However, he didn't fix it right away; he planned to take it back and repair it slowly.

"Are we really going to bring all this stuff back with us?" Lu Huaijiao looked at the large sack and felt a headache coming on. "With so much stuff, how are we going to bring gifts for Mom and Dad?"

"..."

Gu Changzheng felt that his wife's focus seemed a bit off.

"Honey, I'm your husband, and you didn't even bring me a gift." So why should I bring anything for his parents?

Okay, although I don't really want to say it, Gu Changzheng is a typical example of someone who forgets his mother after getting married.

Lu Huaijiao ignored Gu Changzheng.

They're going back the day after tomorrow, so she needs to think carefully tonight about what to buy to take back with them. Ideally, she should buy everything by tomorrow and then pack it all up and mail it back.

These things of Gu Changzheng's are not easy to mail. If the post office opens them for inspection and finds out that they are this, Gu Changzheng will be finished.

So I could only send the gifts and some daily necessities that Lu Huaijiao bought.

"I don't care, I'm bringing a few bottles of wine for Dad and some face cream for Mom, you have to take them."

She doesn't get involved in relationships at all.

Gu Changzheng nodded in agreement; he didn't want his wife to lift a finger either. She could just carry a small bag, wear a straw hat, and look pretty.

If you really make her carry things, you'll end up worrying about it yourself.

At that moment, Gu Changzheng suddenly felt like he was Lu Huaijiao's father...

Realizing his thoughts were getting a little dangerous, Gu Changzheng quickly pulled himself out of his jumbled thoughts and started thinking about other things seriously.

The next day, the couple got up in the morning, picked up the photos from the photo studio, and then headed to the department store to buy things.

Lu Huaijiao exchanged a lot of receipts with people, and Shu Aiguo also gave her some receipts a few days ago, so she could basically buy whatever she wanted.

But even without a receipt, it doesn't matter. Lu Huaijiao has money; she can spend several times the price to buy the kind that doesn't require a receipt.

Gu Changzheng diligently helped carry the things, watching Lu Huaijiao buy this and that without stopping her, and even gave her some advice.

By the time Lu Huaijiao had finally finished shopping, Gu Changzheng was also laden with bags and packages, his body completely covered in them. His empty hands and graceful steps created a stark contrast with Lu Huaijiao, who walked beside him with her hands free.

The two went directly to the post office, packed up all the non-fragile items, filled out the address in Dawancun, and mailed them back.

There were five large packages in total, and Lu Huaijiao couldn't even remember what she had bought inside.

In short, she felt that these were all things she needed.

In the years before the college entrance examination was implemented, Lu Huaijiao felt that using these things in the countryside was not considered extravagant.

After paying the postage, Lu Huaijiao saw another package or so over there and let out a soft "uh".

"Did we buy this too?"

She'd forgotten exactly how much she'd bought. Looking back now, it seems she really had been a bit extravagant?

Lu Huaijiao wondered if she should vow to be a thrifty and hardworking girl.

The thought flashed through her mind, almost instantly dismissed by Lu Huaijiao. Frugality and thrift—that wasn't for her.

She'll just be a spendthrift for the rest of her life!

After leaving the post office, the couple walked home together.

They had agreed to have dinner at Aunt Pang's house today, so they had to go back early.

They had just returned home when He Chun came over to call them to dinner. Lu Huaijiao picked up the things she had just bought at the department store and went to Aunt Pang's house.

Aunt Zheng and the others are also eating here.

To Lu Huaijiao's surprise, besides Aunt Zheng and Aunt Pang who were busy, there were two men who looked similar to Gu Changzheng. They had buzz cuts, sharp features, and tall statures.

Those dark eyes, when they look at someone, seem to see into the depths of that person's soul.

It looks extremely creepy.

When Lu Huaijiao went in, they looked up at her.

Aunt Zheng walked over with a smile and introduced them to Lu Huaijiao, "This is your second brother Liu, and this is your brother He. Jiaojiao, do you still remember these two wild boys? They came back to visit their family without saying a word today, so it's good that you can meet them the night before you go back."

To be honest, Lu Huaijiao didn't remember much.

But when Aunt Zheng said that, she remembered that the two people must be Aunt Zheng's second son and Aunt Pang's son.

When we were little, we used to play together.

Lu Huaijiao obediently called out "brother".

Her obedient appearance made Liu Huai, who didn't have a younger sister, feel an irresistible urge. He stepped forward and reached out to ruffle Ba Lu Huaijiao's hair, just like he did when they were children.

A cough from the side interrupted his actions.

Liu Huai raised his head and his gaze fell on Gu Changzheng, who had been following Lu Huaijiao. What he met was Gu Changzheng's very unfriendly expression.

Everyone was young, full of vigor, and all men, so Liu Huai could easily understand the meaning in Gu Changzheng's eyes.

Is this a case of protecting one's own?

(Gu Changzheng: No, protect our ancestors!)

"Hey, little Huaijiao, who is this?"

Liu Huai's voice was very nonchalant, which didn't fit his role as a soldier at all.

Lu Huaijiao grunted and tilted her head towards Gu Changzheng: "My husband? The father of my child?"

Her introduction was quite straightforward.

This instantly robbed Liu Huai of his excuse to tease Gu Changzheng. He lowered his eyes and pretended to be very sad, but soon he suddenly raised his head and smiled.

"Little Huaijiao, didn't you promise when you were little that you would be your brother's bride when you grew up?"

These words were clearly said on purpose to provoke Gu Changzheng.

Sure enough, Gu Changzheng's face immediately darkened.

Zheng Shujuan frowned, wondering why her second son was still so immature at his age. Just as she was about to say something, Lu Huaijiao smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I married my brother."

As she spoke, she reached out and took Gu Changzheng's arm, whose face was very pale, and smiled at Liu Huai, saying, "Fourth brother is also a brother! I didn't break my promise."

Liu Huai: ...

I was careless and got tricked by the little girl.

The sound of Aunt Pang bringing out the last dish from the kitchen and calling them over to eat signaled the end of Liu Huai's unseen prank.

As a top chef at a state-run restaurant, Aunt Pang's culinary skills are absolutely superb.

While enjoying her meal, Lu Huaijiao couldn't help but think that once the market opened up, she should simply buy the state-run restaurant and send Gu Changzheng to learn cooking from Aunt Pang.

That way, she'll be able to eat delicious meals every day from now on...

Lu Huaijiao thought her idea was pretty good.

I just don't know if Gu Changzheng likes it or not?
