Chapter 75

As expected, Lu Huaijing said quietly, "Captain Cheng's mother thinks it's great to be a soldier in the army.

So I want Cheng Xiaoyue to find a partner in the army."

"You mean she followed here just to find a partner?"

Tang Wan was stunned. Who said that people of this generation were conservative? They were more open-minded than she had imagined.

"right."

Lu Huaijing found it a little embarrassing, but Tang Wan saw through what he didn't say.

"Have you ever been married before?"

Lu Huaijing: …

His expression looked like he was constipated, but he didn't deny it. Instead, he explained awkwardly:

"Yes, but I can also explain the matter of my wife. I never agreed to go on a blind date with her.

I was forced to go on a blind date. They called me over to help."

At that time, Lu Huaijing had not yet been promoted. He and Captain Cheng were both battalion commanders.

"She seems to be attracted to you."

Tang Wan couldn't help feeling a little disgusted when she thought of Cheng Xiaoyue's eyes, especially since Lu Huaijing was still forced to go on a blind date.

"yes."

Lu Huaijing's expression was not very good. "I rejected them righteously and sternly at first."

"It's all in the past. I won't take it seriously."

After Tang Wan knew the truth, the slight discomfort in her heart gradually dissipated.

“I didn’t think about getting married at that time.”

Lu Huaijing didn't want these things to affect their relationship, so he told Tang Wan everything.

In fact, he was not so willing to marry Tang Wan at the beginning. It was all for the sake of responsibility.

Now he thinks differently.

Fortunately, Tang Wan did not ask any more questions. She hurried Huai Jinghuai back to the army again, and rode her bicycle to the family compound.

When they got home, Tang Zhou also came back with a backpack, and Zhang Hongyan was full of confusion.

"Big sister, I heard you guys went to the hospital again?"

"yes."

Tang Wan did not mention Xu Cuiying's private affairs. "She felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so I accompanied her to the hospital."

"Don't just worry about others, you have to take care of yourself too, don't catch a cold."

Zhang Hongyan gave Tang Wan some instructions before taking Wang Shengli home to make lunch.

Tang Zhou picked a lot of wild vegetables, and said with regret: "Sister, I didn't use the slingshot to hunt today."

He didn't dare expose himself when his sister was away.

“Well done.”

Tang Wan gave Tang Zhou a thumbs up and said, "You are amazing. It's enough for me to know about it. It would be bad if someone with bad intentions saw it."

Although a chicken may not cause a major uprising, it still has a significant impact.

The brother and sister returned to the yard chatting and laughing. Lu Huaijing was not there at noon, so Tang Wan made some pork dumplings.

Pork and flour were readily available, and she would never treat herself badly.

After lunch, the two of them ate till their mouths were full. Tang Wan took Tang Zhou and walked towards the mountains again.

Lu Huaijing is leaving tomorrow, and Tang Wan wants to make him a delicious meal while going into the mountains.

There are not many military wives in the family compound who have jobs, so some of them chop wood, and some pick wild vegetables.

Tang Wan took Tang Zhou to a remote mountain. She held a stick in her hand and knocked it as she walked.

Tang Zhou held a slingshot in his hand and a handful of stones in his pocket, ready to use at any time.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Tang Wan looked at the red fruits not far away and smiled happily:

"Zhou Zhou, it's raspberry."

"What are raspberries?"

Tang Zhou is a city kid and has rarely been to the countryside, so it is normal that he doesn't know her.

Tang Wan picked a raspberry and put it in her mouth with a smile. It tasted sweet and made her feel better.

"It's a wild fruit. Come and try it."

She picked one and put it to Tang Zhou's mouth. Although Tang Zhou was confused, he still opened his mouth and ate it out of trust in Tang Wan.

The next second, his eyes widened, "Sister, this is too delicious, isn't it?"

It tastes better than the apples given by my dad’s workplace.

"If it tastes good, let's pick more and take them back."

Tang Wan smiled, "You have a good relationship with Shengli, you can pick some and share with him."

“I don’t have a good relationship with him.”

Even as he said this, Tang Zhou did not stop picking raspberries. He carefully put them into the basket one by one.

While he was not paying attention, Tang Wan plucked a few raspberry roots and quietly threw them into the space.

The soil in the space is quite fertile, and she wants to try growing more things so she can eat them anytime in the future.

The two of them picked all the raspberries here and then walked inside. Not far away, there were peach trees and plum trees.

The fruit on it looked like a crooked melon or a cracked date. Tang Wan took a bite and it was so sour that her face almost deformed.

“It tastes terrible.”

Tang Zhou took a bite and threw the fruit away, but Tang Wan quietly threw a few peaches and plums into the space.

I'll go back and sprinkle some spiritual spring water. I don't know if the fruits on the newly grown fruit trees will taste better.

Along the way, Tang Wan also harvested a lot of medicinal herbs and wild vegetables, and threw some into the space. She also picked some August bombyx.

Tang Zhou, who didn't recognize them, was amazed again, and the two of them picked some quickly.

Tang Zhou had hunted pheasants and rabbits before, but this time his luck was not good and he didn't catch any.

As the sky gradually darkened, Tang Wan urged, "Zhou Zhou, let's go home."

“But there was no harvest today.”

Tang Zhou's face was filled with disappointment. He had finally found an opportunity to practice, but in the end, he gained nothing.

"If it doesn't happen this time, there will definitely be a next time."

Tang Wan was very optimistic. If things really didn't work out, she could just find an excuse to get some meat out. It wasn't a big deal.

Although Tang Zhou was disappointed when he heard this, he did not force himself and followed Tang Wan to go down the mountain.

As a result, after they had only taken a few steps, a pheasant swooped over in front of them.

Tang Zhou subconsciously wanted to take out the slingshot, but Tang Wan took the first step and hit him with a stick.

It was completely a conditioned reflex on her part and she never thought that she would hit a pheasant.

Finally, I caught a pheasant!

The pheasant fluttered twice and fell in front of Tang Wan, with Tang Zhou's mouth opened into an O shape.

"Sister, you are too awesome!!"

"Lucky, lucky, I'm so lucky."

Tang Wan happily picked up the pheasant, put it in the basket behind her, and hid the pheasant under the wild vegetables.

The two of them had smiles on their faces as they walked down the mountain. As soon as they returned to the compound, they happened to meet Uncle Mao who came to deliver the furniture that Tang Wan had made.

There are two sets of desks, tables, chairs and wooden barrels. Uncle Mao has good craftsmanship. The styles are simple and the surfaces are polished smoothly.

In addition to theirs, the five-drawer cabinet that Zhang Hongyan customized was also delivered.

All the military wives gathered around curiously, and Zhang Hongyan's face was full of smiles.

"Comrade, you have great skills!"

"To make a living."

Uncle Mao smiled naively and helped Tang Wan carry the desk inside. Lu Huaijing had not returned yet.

Tang Zhou also put down his backpack and went forward to help. Originally a group of people were having a lively conversation, when suddenly a man rushed over.

Tang Wan had seen this person in the hospital this morning. She was Captain Cheng’s sister, Cheng Xiaoyue.

She glared at Tang Wan resentfully, "Who told you to meddle in other people's business? If it weren't for you, how could my brother chase me away?"

It would be better to just let Xu Cuiying die. It’s not like his brother can’t get married.

Moreover, she didn't know that Tang Wan was Lu Huaijing's daughter-in-law in the hospital. After she found out, she was even more resentful towards her.
