Su Tangxue picked up a sour plum and put it into her mouth, squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
She and Lu Qinglin went to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon and confirmed that she was pregnant. She bought some sour plums when she came back.
"Okay! Okay! Your mother will be happy when she finds out."
"I think so too."
"No, I'm going to burn some incense for your mother and tell her the good news."
Su Tangxue looked at her father smiling like a child and felt happy for a moment.
Early the next morning, Su Tangxue was still sleeping in, but Lu Qinglin had already gotten up and started packing.
Ever since Lu Yulong knew his daughter was pregnant, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night. He was worried that his daughter wouldn't have enough to eat on the train back to the army today, so he got up early to prepare rations. He also borrowed sour plums from his neighbor and boiled a small bottle of rock sugar sour plums.
At that time, when his wife was pregnant with his daughter, she only ate this to stimulate her appetite.
Li Chuchun frowned in the morning as she looked at the table of pickled vegetables, but she didn't say anything. After all, she was about to divorce Lu Yulong.
She had agreed with Lu Yulong last night that they would get the marriage certificate after this meal, and when Honglian's belly got bigger, she would move out and take care of Honglian.
From now on, she won't have to do so much work to take care of the whole family.
After packing up the things, Lu Yulong insisted on giving me a ride and said he could use his bicycle to help take the things to the station.
When Su Tangxue and Lu Qinglin went downstairs, they ran into Zhao Xinghua chatting with others. Ever since her daughter Zhao Xiaoju came back, she was eager to tell everyone in the hospital how well her daughter was doing.
Seeing Su Tangxue coming downstairs, he couldn't help but show off to Zhao Xiaoju that she was living a comfortable life in the army.
"If you ask me, this woman, being beautiful is useless. She needs to marry well, especially if she marries into a village and becomes a widow."
Su Tangxue stopped and Lu Qinglin frowned.
Seeing Su Tangxue coming over, Zhao Xinghua raised the corner of her mouth in a mocking smile.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here? Auntie was talking about those blind girls, not you. Don't get yourself involved."
"Really? If Auntie hadn't explained, I would have thought she looked down on me and country folk!"
"How could that be? After all, Xiaoxue, you are going back to the countryside. How could I possibly look down on country people?"
"Oh? You know I'm going back to the countryside?" Su Tangxue raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled.
"Your status as a man isn't like Xiaoju's, so you can't join the army. Shouldn't you go back to the countryside?"
Zhao Xinghua laughed out loud.
When the people around heard this, they dared not breathe.
"Aunt Zhao, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm just going to join the army."
"How is that possible? Just you? And you're going to join the army? You don't even think before you tell a lie!"
Zhao Xinghua's voice of doubt rose several degrees, and she looked down on him even more.
"What? Don't believe it?"
"I don't believe it. If you can join the army, it will be a miracle."
Zhao Xinghua rolled her eyes speechlessly. Su Tangxue was about to go back to the countryside, but she still wanted to pretend. How shameless.
Su Tangxue glanced at Lu Qinglin, and Lu Qinglin knew what his wife wanted to do. He immediately took out the piece of paper from his inner pocket and handed it to the aunts who were watching the show on the side.
Fortunately, some people in the compound were literate and immediately noticed the three big words "promoted to battalion commander". They looked at Zhao Xinghua jokingly with excitement while holding the item.
They had long been tired of Zhao Xinghua's bragging, and finally found a way to fight back.
