The box lunch on the train was three cents a box, the portion was large, and no food coupons were required, so many people were willing to buy them.

The lunch box Lu Chenghuai brought back contained two dishes. It was packed in a flat aluminum lunch box without a lid. The dishes accounted for one-third of the meal: one dish of white radish and one dish of braised pork with stir-fried cabbage, with only one piece of meat.

The taste is just so-so, but eating fresh, hot meals is always better than eating cold dry food, especially in winter, when steaming hot meals are always delicious.

Xu Sui couldn't eat that much, so in order not to waste food, she put some food into Lu Chenghuai's bowl in advance.

Lu Chenghuai looked at her without saying a word. After he finished eating and the flight attendant collected the aluminum lunch box, he went to buy her two tea eggs.

Xu Sui didn't eat one of the two tea eggs until the evening. The next morning, the train arrived at Capital Station.

Xu Sui tidied her hair, which she had braided on the side, and washed her face with the spiritual spring water from the toilet, and then the car door opened.

Lu Chenghuai carried all the luggage, and Xu Sui only had a small army green shoulder bag on her shoulder. As soon as she arrived at the platform, Lu Chenghuai walked up to a man, and then the two of them got out of the station and got into a green jeep.

The driver this time was different from the one in my hometown city. He stood straight with a military demeanor.

He didn't say anything while driving, his eyes were only on the road.

Xu Sui leaned against the window and looked around.

She went to school in this city in her previous life and was already very familiar with it, but the current capital was very different from the later ones.

But she was still a little excited in her heart. According to the timeline, she was now in the same city as Wei!

Lu Chenghuai could feel that Xu Sui was in a good mood at the moment. Seeing her profile looking out the window, he began to relax.

Compound.

A few days ago, a telegram was received from 깊's son, indicating 깊's train time. Lu Duosheng arranged for 깊 to pick him up at the station, while Song Yuqing was busy in the kitchen early in the morning.

It was her first time being a mother-in-law, and she had been looking forward to seeing her son bring his daughter back for so long. She was a little nervous, "Lao Lu, the girl seems to like spicy food. Is it enough if I put so much chili?"

Song Yuqing is not very good at cooking, and before, a cousin from Lu Duosheng's family has always been in charge of the housework, but they still have to go back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year.

She was worried that her cooking skills were not good enough and that the food would not suit the girl's taste.

Lu Duosheng walked in and took a look. "Why don't you go to the National Day Hotel and pack a few more dishes to bring back? The chef is very skilled and it saves time."

Song Yuqingbai glanced at him and said, "That's too casual. A family dinner is the highest standard meal. I have to let Cheng Huai feel that our family values ​​her."

"Besides, we'll be staying here for several days. We can go to a restaurant later if we want. I can only say that what I cook is not as delicious as what Aunt Liu cooks, but it's still edible."

She glanced at the chopping board and washed a few more peppers with a determined heart.

Lu Duosheng was helping to prepare the dishes. He had been through a lot, so he was better than Song Yuqing at these tasks. He wasn't very good at cooking, but he was OK as long as he could eat.

After preparing the dishes, Song Yuqing glanced at the time and estimated that they were already on the way home by car.

She was about to buy another bottle of soda. She hadn't considered that this was a new thing that had only become popular in Beijing in the past two years, and she thought the little girl might like it.

As expected, when passing by the yard, I was asked by several other households.

By the time of the Chinese New Year, all the sons and daughters who could come back came back. The ages of the families in our compound were similar, and the grandchildren were still young, not yet old enough to be the children of their children.

However, among the younger generations in the family, secret comparisons are still inevitable.

Some have already retired and have nothing to do on weekdays. Their favorite thing is to sit at the gate of the compound and chat.

Li Jingshu was a little surprised to see her going out, "Captain Song, aren't Chenghuai and the others coming back soon? Why are you waiting at home?"

Song Yuqing smiled and said, "Young people nowadays all like to drink soda. I'll go buy a bottle. Chenghuai and the others probably won't be here for a while."

Li Jingshu curled her lips. She couldn't stand Lu Chenghuai dating a country girl, and she couldn't stand the fact that the Lu couple actually attached so much importance to that girl.

What did she say when she went to Song Yuqing for Zhiyuan? She said that the younger generation had their own ideas and she would not interfere.

Now that I think about it, it's obvious that he looks down on our family.

Others had no grudges against the Lu family. They were just watching the fun when Lu Chenghuai brought a girl back. They said with a smile, "Chenghuai is the most promising one in our compound. Now that the marriage issue is settled, he can concentrate on his struggle in the future. The girl will definitely be very interested. I think you may be able to have a grandson in a year!"

Someone said: "That girl is really lucky. I remember Cheng Huai was very popular before he joined the army. And she is so lucky to meet a mother-in-law like you."

Song Yuqing waved and said with a smile: "I should thank her. The days of following the army are hard. It is Cheng Huai's blessing to have a girl willing to accompany him through hardships. Besides, Cheng Huai's partner is very good."

Even though she hasn't met her yet, she won't belittle her daughter-in-law in front of others, and she doesn't want to hear others implying that her daughter-in-law is marrying above her station.

She had good connections in the compound, and as a land student with a high position, others understood what she said and followed her will.

Someone wanted to see Li Jingshu's excitement, so after Song Yuqing left, she deliberately said, "It's still good to have a family tradition like the Lu family, treating their daughter-in-law as their own family. I saw Captain Song in the mall last time, but I didn't see him at that time, so he went to buy cloth for the girl. Whoever marries her will enjoy a good life."

Li Jingshu was a little upset. Her Zhiyuan came back with red eyes last time. Even though she explained that it was for the children, the people in the compound didn't believe her. Who made her come back at that time?

Unfortunately, she had the lowest position in the male compound, so she couldn't find fault with what he said. She could only continue chatting as if she didn't hear what he said.

But her family's Zhiyuan just came back yesterday, and they will have a comparison later. They will know that no matter how outstanding a country girl is, she cannot compare with the ladies in the inner city.

Her daughter Zhiyuan is not bad looking, and has had no shortage of boys chasing after her. It can only be said that Lu Chenghuai and the Lu family have poor eyesight!

Li Jingshu was not upset with the Lu family just because of her daughter. In the final analysis, it was because many years ago, Lu Duosheng and her son had similar military careers. Now, Lu Duosheng had been promoted several levels, while her son had not moved up.

Even Song and Qing have become the heads of the cultural troupe, while she is only a director.

She is proud and doesn't like others flattering Song Yuqing, but she can't stand being compared to others.

At about 10:00 a.m., a familiar jeep slowly drove to the gate of the compound.
