But she actually loves the captain's two daughters and that young man. Su Su said she loves him!
The people around you have four wheels, so they are reluctant to leave and have to share the surprise with the people around them.
Aunt Zhang waited until the door was closed before she raised her voice, "It's Sui Sui, it turns out you are the most beautiful girl in our Qingshan Brigade. You have been away for half a year and you seem to have grown up. I almost didn't recognize you just now."
Another man said, "I still remember that she greeted me when she saw me on the road two days before she left. I didn't know what to say at first, and I didn't even have the courage to talk to her. And Xu Mian, I watched her grow up. There was no difference in the first few years after she got married. How come she is so different after not seeing her for a few years?"
Xu Sanjin had his own opinion on this. "Don't you think about it? Xu Mian knew her husband was the deputy battalion commander a few years ago. She was different from us at that time. She was already an official, and this year she was promoted to battalion commander, which makes her even more different."
He looked at the gate of Xu's courtyard. Although he couldn't see the scene inside, he knew that with two successful daughters, they must be having a great time.
Xu Sanjin shook his head. "I asked Xu Sui to ride my ox cart before, but only half a year has passed and she is already riding on four wheels. I see this cart must be for her boyfriend. She has a temperament that doesn't look like an ordinary person. A regiment commander is several levels higher than a battalion commander."
Someone enviously said: "Who in our brigade will dare to say that our daughter is a loser in the future? One of them is living a better life than the other. It seems that they are definitely willing to subsidize their parents. In the future, the Red Army and the defense of the country will rely on these two brothers-in-law. Not only will they live a good life, but the brigade leader and his men will be good at planning. Let our daughter go to school for a few years, and she won't have to worry about the rest of her life."
Since Auntie Zhang was a distant relative of Zhang Yunxiu, she was not used to hearing people say this, "Come on, forget it. The captain's family really doesn't favor boys over girls. A captain should have this awareness. Don't you see how many people said he was stupid when his family was in trouble?"
"Xu Mian has been married for so many years. She has been in the Red Army and defending the country every day. Later, she relied on herself to defend the country. When she became a soldier, she was not fake at all."
As for Xu Weiguo's temporary job, she did not mention it. Instead, she said that he did not rely on his brother-in-law to join the army.
As they discussed, some simply envied the captain's family for becoming wealthy. "With these two good sons-in-law, the captain's family no longer has to buy two pieces of meat every time, one to fry and one to stew."
Speaking of meat, the atmosphere that was originally being discussed enthusiastically suddenly became quiet for a moment.
It turns out that only when you can realize a good life can you feel the difference in the future.
Xu Hongjun first took Lu Chenghuai to put the luggage of the three people in their respective rooms. Xu Mian and Xu Sui's rooms had been cleaned and the quilts were large quilts weighing more than 10 kilograms.
They arranged Xu Weiguo's room for Lu Chenghuai. Zhang Yunxiu cleaned it spotlessly and placed all the daily necessities in a box next to the bed.
The box can usually be used to store clothes and quilts. Xu Weiguo used it as a desk when he was in school, which was very useful.
After Lu Chenghuai thanked him, he took out the gifts he had prepared from several boxes and luggage bags.
He mentioned the living room, which was the formal entrance.
Zhang Yunxiu brought him a cup of tea. Seeing that he brought something, she didn't know how to accept it. Xu Changgen looked expressionless, but he was actually a little uneasy in his heart. As for Xu Dashan, he felt that he, as a grandfather, just needed to watch from the side. In this situation, it would be better for Sui Sui's parents to make the decision.
Xu Dabao took Tuantuan and Yuanyuan to play in the yard. Xu Sui asked Lu Chenghuai to put the things by the wall. Turning around, she saw Zhang Yunxiu finally said, "These, these are too...Lu, why are you carrying so many things?"
Now there is no fancy packaging for things, you can tell what is in it at a glance when you bring it.
There is no need to say much about the fabrics, clothes and food, but the main thing is that there is also a radio.
Although Zhang Yunxiu didn't want to appear uneasy in front of her son-in-law, she was still a little uncomfortable with all these things.
There wasn't a single household in their brigade that had a radio! People in the city couldn't even afford one, so it would be a bit weird if they actually accepted such a precious item.
Xu Sui knew that she was shocked by the radio, but in fact, those clothes were not much cheaper than the radio.
She didn't say anything about it, but just went over and hugged Zhang Yunxiu's hand affectionately, "Mom, these are for you and Dad, and the clothes that Grandpa bought. You can try them on later."
Lu Chenghuai prepared tweed coats for all three of them, a pair of leather shoes for Xu Hongjun, a pair for Xu Weiguo even when he was not at home, a piece of cloth for Xu Dasao, and Xu Dabao had nothing.
He was very well prepared. Xu Sui didn't know how he knew the family members' identities, but he was usually a good listener to Xu Mian, so Xu Sui probably remembered what he heard.
During the time she and Zhang Yunxiu were talking, Lu Chenghuai had actually chatted with Xu Changgen.
Xu Changgen, who had always been showing the image of a calm patriarch, was discussing state affairs with Lu Chenghuai very attentively. Even Xu Dashan and Xu Hongjun, who had been sitting next to them drinking tea, came over at some point and joined in the conversation from time to time.
Men of any age love to discuss military affairs and national policies.
Especially since there were few information channels in the Qingshan Brigade, Lu Chenghuai could just pick a few things that would be enough to get closer to his father-in-law.
Zhang Yunxiu felt that this son-in-law was more capable, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was. She whispered in Xu Sui's ear, "After dinner tonight, tell me how you two got to know each other."
Xu Sui only said in the letter that the two of them were introduced by a female cadre, but she didn't say anything about the process. Zhang Yunxiu was curious, but she didn't dare to ask in the letter.
Xu Sui nodded. She didn't worry that Lu Chenghuai would encounter any setbacks when meeting his parents. This man looked calm and steady, but he was actually very cunning and had different ways of getting along with different people.
Now it is indeed the case. Only Xu Mianxiao thinks he is good and even praises him, "This Lu has a bigger personality than your brother-in-law. When your brother-in-law came to our house for the first time, he answered every question asked by my father. I felt bored sitting next to him."
"He is certainly nervous. He is nervous, so he says he is familiar with the topic." Xu Sui pursed her lips and chuckled. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man looking at her, as if he could see through what she was thinking, with a smile in his eyes.
He was afraid that he had two pairs of ears, so he could hear their conversation and turn around and calmly answer her father's questions the next second.
