Xu Sui calmed down, walked over, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Captain Lu, come in and have a cup of tea."

The man moved very quickly, and his arms were very powerful, and soon there was a small pile of blood beside him.

Lu Chenghuai put down the firewood he was chopping and clapped his hands, "Okay."

A cup of steaming tea had been placed on the table in the living room, which Xu Mian had brewed earlier.

Xu Sui was just about to make herself a cup of tea. When she looked up, the man had already picked up the thermos and the tea leaves were slowly spreading out in front of her.

It was as if she was a guest.

Xu Sui thanked her softly. The tea was still hot, so she was not in a hurry to drink it. She just held the cup and blew into it slowly.

Lu Chenghuai raised his eyes and looked at the person opposite him. A fair face turned slightly pink in the hot steam, like a peach that was about to ripen.

He moved his index finger slightly, his eyes dark, "Has my sister-in-law ever introduced me to you?"

Xu Sui put down the teacup and said, "She introduced you. She mentioned your age, work, and family."

Lu Chenghuai bent his fingers and looked at her deeply. "I'm very busy at work, and I'll be on the island for a long time. The conditions on the island are not very good. But if you need anything or want something, I will buy it for you when I have the chance to go off the island."

"My parents live in the capital, so they don't need me to pay for household expenses for now. My current allowance is 141 yuan per month. My living expenses are low, and I have some savings, which you can take care of. I live in a dormitory now, and after I get married... the organization will assign me a yard or a building."

There was a flash of surprise in Xu Sui's eyes.

The self-introduction was like writing a report, simple and straightforward, and realistic. The deposit was also said to be handled, not kept.

Lu Chenghuai leaned forward slightly, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

"I think, for now, there is nothing." Xu Sui chuckled, "I wonder if Captain Lu wants to know anything?"

"Yes." Lu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows casually, his narrow and deep eyes staring at the opposite side steadily.

Because of the height difference, he could easily see her head. Her black, satin-like hair was tied into a fluffy braid with a light blue headband, which made her temperament look particularly gentle and her exposed face was fair and delicate.

She loves to laugh.

When she smiled, her eyes sparkled with light, breaking the original coldness and becoming charming. The slender tails of her eyes were like a little fox, making it impossible to look away.

He could clearly see his own reflection in her pupils. Those eyes were very deceptive. When they looked at you, they would give you the feeling of being very serious and focused, as if the two of them were very close.

In fact, it is still alienated.

Lu Chenghuai said in a low, hoarse voice, "I want to know if Comrade Xu Mian can give me a chance to investigate?"

Xu Mian was bringing the last dish out of the kitchen when she caught a glimpse of two people chatting in the room. The atmosphere seemed to be just right, and she felt comforted.

When it was hot in the summer, they would move the dining table to the yard and eat there.

She took off her apron and said, "Come out for dinner."

At this time, Xu Bing and Wu Xuezhou also entered the yard.

Wu Xuezhou waved first, smiling brightly, "Sister-in-law!"

Xu Mian was stunned for a moment, and saw her husband shaking his head at her, indicating that it was not her invitation, and he did not know in advance that Captain Lu would come.

She quickly responded and said with a smile, "You're here too. It's time for dinner. Come sit down!"

She went to the kitchen and got two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Fortunately, it was only one extra set, so the amount of food was enough.

Inside the house, the two of them got up as early as when Xu Mian was having dinner.

Xu Sui took the initiative to say: "Captain Lu, my sister's cooking skills are still good, you can try it."

She paused. "If I'm going to investigate, I can't give you an exact time. You might spend time and energy on me, but in the end you might find that I'm not the same as you imagined. Or, I might still tell you that I'm not suitable."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Chenghuai raised the corners of his lips, "I will prove it to you. Fortunately, I have enough patience."

Xu Bing and Wu Xuezhou also looked at the situation in the reception hall opposite.

The two teacups were still on the table, and a man and a woman turned slightly to the side, seemingly having a conversation.

Wu Xuezhou pushed Xu Bing's arm and said, "Hey, Brother Xu, it turns out that Captain Lu came here to meet my sister-in-law's younger sister."

There were two people in the room, and anyone with discerning eyes could tell what was going on.

Xu Bing glanced at him and said, "I just found out about this, too."

If he had known this earlier, he would not have agreed to let this kid come to his house for free meals.

Wu Xuezhou was very excited. "It just so happens that I came here to have dinner this evening. Captain Lu is also a very talented man. He must be very close to my sister-in-law and her sister..."

He looked ahead, unable to utter the remaining word.

The couple had turned around and walked out.

The light in the house was dim. When she walked out, the setting sun in the sky just happened to shine on the girl, casting a layer of golden halo around her. When she raised her eyes, her entire face was revealed.

Wu Xuezhou thought she was prettier than his favorite actress.

He swallowed and whispered, "Brother Xu, who do you think will win if Captain Lu and I fight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Bing beside him hadn't reacted yet, but Wu Xuezhou felt the tall man not far away looking at him with a cold gaze. Even though he couldn't see his expression clearly, the strong sense of aggression still frightened him.

Wu Xuezhou felt that the love he had been waiting for for a long time had said hello to him and then ran away.

After approaching, Xu Bing extended his hand, "Hello, Captain Lu, I am Xu Mian's brother-in-law, Xu Bing."

Lu Chenghuai was actually six years younger than him, but his military rank was three levels higher than his.

Of course, Xu Bing admired him very much in his heart, and military achievements were the best way to explain one's character.

After the two of them greeted each other, Wu Xuezhou on the side also extended his hand, "Hello, Commander Lu, I am Wu Xuezhou, the deputy gunner on the ship."

Wu Xuezhou was about 176 or 177 cm tall, which was considered tall in the army, but when he stood in front of Lu Chenghuai, he was just at his ear level, and the natural sense of oppression was lost.

Lu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows and shook hands back, "Hello."

Feeling the huge pain in his palm, Wu Xuezhou wanted to cry but had no tears.

He knew that men didn't like the girls they liked to be different from him, but who knew that Captain Lu had such sharp ears that he could listen to what he said even across the yard.

Xu Sui didn't see this scene, she had already gone to pour rice wine.

In addition to the meals, Xu Mian also cooked the fermented glutinous rice that Director Yang had brought over the day before, which had now cooled in the water.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan also wanted to drink, but there was a taste of alcohol underneath, so Xu Sui just dipped a little with her chopsticks and let them taste it.
