Shi Hong suddenly smiled and took a bite of the big steamed bun in his hand.

He married her because she was well-educated and her every move was that of a lady from a wealthy family. He couldn't expect her to do all the housework, cook, and take care of others after marrying her.

He himself is a rough man, and everyone has advantages and disadvantages.

Du Rantong curled her lips, "Of course, she finally got close to Captain Lu, who has good conditions, so she has to hold on tightly."

"Excuse me, how can you, a female comrade, look at people with tinted glasses? Just because someone comes from the countryside, he is wrong about everything he does." Shi Hong finished his steamed bun in a few seconds, picked up the hot water kettle beside him, and drank directly from the spout. "You have never met him, how do you know what he is like? Anyway, I think Comrade Xu is very good."

Shi Hong added: "I heard from Captain Lu that they plan to report their marriage in the first month of the year. If you have a chance to meet them at that time, you can't have this attitude."

He and Lu Chenghuai still have to work together!

But Shi Hong was not too worried, because his wife was a bit aloof like a scholar and didn't interact much with other sisters-in-law. Otherwise, he would have to apologize to her every day for her petty-bourgeois manner.

Du Rantong suddenly felt depressed. She didn't know whether it was because Captain Lu was really going to marry a country girl or because she was angry at him for protecting another woman.

She bit her cheek and said, "The cup is right next to you, but you don't even know how to pour the drink into the cup? I'll wash the pot later!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Shi Hong shouted from behind: "I didn't touch the spout!"

Seeing that she didn't respond, he muttered quietly, "You really have so many problems."

Having said that, even though Du Rantong couldn't see at all, he still picked up the kettle and rinsed it with a bucket of water.

Half a month later, Lu Chenghuai was finally allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

It happened to be Sunday that day, and Xu Sui brought a luggage bag to pack Lu Chenghuai's daily necessities and clothes.

Lu Chenghuai no longer looked as weak as he did when he first lay in the ward, and he could move around quite freely.

Xu Sui and he walked out of the hospital together. It was a rare sunny day. Although the temperature was not high, at least the warm sunshine dissipated some of the chill.

She tilted her head and asked, "Are you planning to keep your injury a secret from your family?"

"It's useless to tell them except to make them worry. It's not a big problem anyway." Lu Chenghuai looked at her, his lips slightly raised, "At least this time, you are with me all the time."

In the past half month, Xu Sui would come to the hospital to sit for a while after get off work every day, and come during the day when she had a break. Sometimes she would bring a few newspapers, and sometimes she would bring two books. She would give him one and sit by the window to read it. In short, she never missed a day.

He asked, "Now that I'm out of the hospital, can you tell me what your family has said?"

Xu Sui said with a smile: "Can't you guess it?"

"I want to hear it from you in person." Lu Chenghuai looked at her seriously, "I want to confirm it with my own ears."

The recovered Captain Lu now had a handsome and upright figure, a tall stature, and a calm and reserved temperament. Just standing there, he could give people an invisible pressure.

But now, Captain Lu looked at her seriously and solemnly, just waiting for her to confirm it with him in person.

Xu Sui couldn't help but curl up her lips, "They said, you are excellent, as long as you are good to me and I like you, that's enough."

The corners of Lu Chenghuai's mouth slowly raised, and his eyes, which were usually narrow and cold, were filled with warmth when he smiled.

His appearance was really cheating, as long as he had a cold face, he looked stern and intimidating. According to Xu Bing, even other officers who were older than him would sometimes give in to him.

But when he is gentle, he is really as gentle as jade, without any sense of danger or dominance. He doesn't look like a military officer, but just like a handsome, gentle and sunny young man.

Before the two of them got together, she mostly saw the latter type of him. After they were together, the strength in this man's bones gradually emerged.

Lu Chenghuai didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked, "What do uncle and aunt like? I remember you said you have a nephew?"

"There are still more than two months left. We can prepare it when the holiday is approaching." Xu Sui was a little amused.

Lu Chenghuai looked at her with an ambiguous smile in his eyes, "It's more than two months. You are not in a hurry, but I hope to get through it as quickly as possible."

More than two months is not short, but when the days go by, it just goes by in a flash.

Xu Sui pretended not to understand what he said and continued walking forward.

Lu Chenghuai looked at her fair and moist earlobes stained pink and chuckled.

When they were almost at Lu Chenghuai's dormitory, the empty space around them made Xu Sui stop and say, "I think I still need to tell you one thing. If we get married, I don't want to get pregnant too early."

"I think we should wait until our married life is well-adjusted and stable before having children."

She knew that people of this generation valued continuing the family line, especially since Lu Chenghuai would be thirty years old next year. He and his family probably hoped to have children soon.

But this is something Xu Sui has thought about carefully. Having a child is a choice, not a task. She and Lu Chenghuai are currently compatible, but they have never experienced living under the same roof. People cannot be perfect, and relationships cannot be perfect. It is not a wise choice to have a child during the adjustment stage.

Moreover, she herself hasn't figured out how to be a qualified mother.

You can say she is being hypocritical, but she needs to tell Lu Chenghuai about her thoughts before marriage. If he can't accept it...

Lu Chenghuai did not ask her the reason, and even remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I respect and agree with your idea. I also hope that we can live a beautiful life that belongs to the two of us, and then welcome a new member of the family together."

In the moment he was silent, besides thinking about how to ease his partner's worries and anxieties, he was also thinking that although he didn't want children at first, he had to have them.

If he could continue to be patient after getting married, he would be a true saint.

It's just that he has never discussed this with anyone else, and doesn't know how to avoid it.

Xu Sui smiled brightly, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

on Monday.

Not long after Xu Sui arrived at the school, Director Qin called her to his office.

After several months of working experience, Xu Sui realized that although Director Qin looked strong and fierce, he was actually a very meticulous and serious person. He never dragged his feet in doing things. The teachers around her all respected and feared him.

Director Qin's clothes were almost wrinkle-free and his waist was always straight.

After he asked her to sit down, he said directly, "There is an exchange meeting in Shanghai City. I plan to let you participate as one of the teacher representatives of our school."
