Xiao Zhenhua is 40 years old this year, with a regular appearance. There is a shallow scar from the corner of his left eye to the tip of his nose, but he doesn't look fierce.

Years of office work had endowed him with the qualities of a scholar. He could usually take a joke, and was very serious when he was serious. The soldiers under him both respected and feared him.

At this time, he patted Lu Chenghuai's shoulder, and the smile on his face, even with the scar, became a family look, "Chenghuai, we haven't seen each other for several years. I didn't expect you to be transferred here again."

They knew each other before in another unit. At that time, Xiao Zhenhua was Lu Chenghuai's superior. Unexpectedly, ten years have passed and this young man has grown so fast.

Xiao Zhenhua sighed a little, but quickly put it aside. "Come to your house in the evening, and let your sister-in-law cook some delicious dishes for us to have a good meal."

"Okay." Lu Chenghuai also had a relaxed smile on his face.

Xiao Zhenhua looked at him and said, "If you were to face those girls like this, how could you still be single?"

Before Lu Chenghuai could say anything, he shook his head and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you. It's not like you're single."

He didn't say it, but the enthusiastic Director Yang couldn't stand it.

At dinner time in the evening, he would first pick up some food for Lu Chenghuai, then take a few bites of rice himself, and then get down to business.

"Xiao Lu, you have to think carefully about your life. As a man, you have to get married and settle down."

Director Yang was really worried. In her opinion, Xiao Lu came from a well-off family, was ambitious, and was good-looking. Although he looked a bit serious, a careful conversation revealed that he was a gentle and polite child. However, he was almost thirty years old, and there was no one around him who cared about him.

Xiao Zhenhua was thinking about chatting with his comrades whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and was pouring wine. "Okay, look at this kid, he doesn't seem to be enlightened at all. The several female comrades you introduced to him earlier all had excellent conditions, but this kid still thinks it's not a good deal."

You might say that Lu Chenghuai has high standards, but he has introduced girls from the art troupe before. The figures of girls in the art troupe are measured with a ruler and only the best ones can enter.

He looked at each other and said they were not suitable.

When I asked the girl, the two of them barely exchanged a few words!

Director Yang glared at her husband and said, "What's that saying? How can a man build a career without a family? I could understand why you said you were busy with work before, but now that Xiaolu has a career, how can you not get married quickly? There must be someone to protect the rear."

"What's the point of worrying so much? Some people are not in a hurry!" Xiao Zhenhua took a sip of wine and said slowly.

Lu Chenghuai saw it, and the two of them were urging him to find a partner!

He picked up the wine glass and said, "I know your sister-in-law has good intentions, but I have just been transferred here, so I will consider it after my job is stable."

Director Yang smiled and said, "Then wait until Xiaolu gets familiar with the place as soon as possible, and I will make arrangements for you. I won't delay you at all."

Lu Chenghuai also had to agree.

At night, he lay on his back in bed with his head resting on his arms.

The moonlight shines through the window into the room, and every object inside can be seen clearly.

There was no trace of any items in the closet, desk, and chair. If he was not there, it would be as if no one had ever lived in the room.

A bit deserted.

Lu Chenghuai thought of what Mrs. Yang said that night, and that smiling face appeared in his mind again.

He knew why he felt both happy and regretful today.

It was the first time I felt the sensation of being moved, but I didn’t even know the person’s name.

I know that her eyes are very beautiful, filled with tiny stars. When she smiles, the corners of her eyes slightly rise, like a little fox.

I don't know if I have left any impression on her.

The commander who seemed stern in the eyes of the soldiers, was like a young boy at this moment, and his thoughts turned for a long time before he fell asleep.

In the family courtyard.

Xu Bing just came back.

Xu Sui was sewing clothes with Xu Mian.

Xu Mian patched up Tuantuan and Yuanyuan's clothes. The children were very active at that age, and the cuffs and knees were quite worn out.

Xu Sui embroidered a few flowers on the collar of her clothes.

Her clothes were white, and the thread she chose was of the same color, so it didn't look tacky when she sewed them, but rather looked like a three-dimensional relief.

"This is good."

Xu Mian had never seen such a pattern before. "Sui Sui, what's wrong with your brain? You have been embroidering for so many years, but you have never thought of embroidering."

What looked like ordinary clothes turned into something exquisite in the blink of an eye.

Xu Sui smiled and said, "Sister, you are busy with the house and outside every day, and you have to take care of two children. How can you think about these things? It's not something you suddenly thought of."

She acquired this skill in the welfare home. Universities or social organizations would often donate clothes to the welfare home. Her clothes were usually too big, so she would alter them herself to fit.

After a while, she felt that she had to practice something else along the way.

Xu Sui picked up a round piece of clothing and while talking about this three-dimensional embroidery method, a cute little white cat appeared.

Children love bright colors, so a circle of flowers was embroidered around the kitten using red, yellow and blue threads.

"It's really beautiful. It doesn't even need a patch. It's prettier than new clothes." With Xu Mian's aesthetic taste, she felt that this color was more beautiful than the original pattern.

Xu Mian said, "Sui Sui, can you sew the same thing on Yuan Yuan's clothes? The cat and the color of the flowers should be the same."

In a family with twins, it is impossible to dress the two daughters in different styles.

Xu Sui chuckled and said, "Of course you can, sister. Once you learn how to do it, you can also embroider some patterns on your own clothes. You can use a pencil to draw the pattern on your clothes first."

Xu Mian was capable of mending some clothes, but few people would think of embroidering some patterns on clothes, so she saw something new.

After watching Xu Sui embroider two patterns, she also learned the general idea.

But she still had to rely on Xu Sui to draw a pattern for her, otherwise she couldn't figure out what to sew.

"No wonder you don't want to buy ready-made clothes. It's better to make them yourself. You'd better choose some fabrics carefully tomorrow."

Xu Mian added: "If you see something nice and ready-made, just buy it. Don't think about saving money for yourself."

Xu Bing's monthly allowance is 89 yuan. In addition to sending 15 yuan to his in-laws every month for retirement support, he has saved a lot of money in the past few years from some personal connections.

Of course, it's also because there's nowhere to spend it.

Just now, a letter came from his hometown saying that the interest rate would be raised to 30. Before Xu Mian could say anything, Xu Bing wrote back to reject the offer.

Under the dim light, Xu Suiying's pale face was emitting a soft golden light.

Xu Mian would sometimes look at her sister's angry face and would easily become immersed in it.

She put away her things and said, "Go to bed early. If you need anything else, just tell me."

"good."

Xu Sui didn't see her brother-in-law Xu Bing until the next morning.

He was busy all day yesterday and didn't come home for dinner. He didn't get home until late at night.

"Brother-in-law, good morning." Xu Sui took the initiative to greet him.

"Good morning."

Xu Bing is not very tall, just over 1.7 meters tall, and has a very gentle temperament.

He was holding a comb and combing his daughter's hair, and his movements looked very skilled.

It creates a strong sense of disconnection from the image of Cangsang who died in despair in front of a tombstone in the play.

Xu Bing had met Xu Sui two or three times before, and had no impression of her original appearance.

But now it seems that my wife's sister is indeed very beautiful, stunning at first sight.

Thinking of how his wife had praised him for a long time last night, Xu Bing's lips curled up into a smile.
