Different from what Xu Sui had thought before, she thought the courtyard that Lu Chenghuai was talking about was a siheyuan.
Because she knew that the country was suppressing the capitalists and the reclaimed courtyards were given to the cadres and workers.
However, the direction this car was heading was the Military Academy in the west of the capital, where several branches of the military were lined up in order.
After passing the Princess Tomb, the jeep stopped at the gate of a courtyard and was allowed to pass after inspection.
This hospital refers to the unified military district hospital, where you can visit hospitals, elementary schools, middle schools, bathhouses, shops and the like. In short, if you live there, you will have all the necessary facilities.
There are a few three-story buildings on the roadside. Lu Chenghuai said, "These are the office buildings of the ministries and the military. Once we pass this area, we will be home."
Xu Sui had never asked about the identity of Lu Chenghuai's father before. She knew that he was an old revolutionary, but based on his mother's identity, she knew that his father must not be a simple person either.
But those who can live in the military district hospital are basically the first batch of military and civil servants after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Because of her background, she wouldn't know this.
Xu Sui opened the window a little, and the cold wind from outside came in through the small gap, making the air in the car at least a little fresher.
The car slowed down a lot after entering the courtyard, but before long, the family courtyard was in sight.
The same people were still at the gate of the family compound.
Song Yuqing had already returned from buying soda, and it was normal for her to go home and prepare food by now, but since she knew the time her family and her boyfriend would return, she had to meet them and discuss matters after returning.
The older generation in the courtyard basically came from all over the country, and most of them were not from the capital, but they were also shocked that Lu Chenghuai found a country girl.
You know, their children of that generation basically played with the brothers in the other courtyard, and they were in a completely different world from the kids in the neighborhood.
The kids in the capital are divided into the academy faction, the military academy faction and the village faction. When these kids from the academy want to find a partner, they look for their fellow academy students, and they have nothing to do with the old capital people.
Just like Li Jingshu's daughter Zhiyuan, she also dated a man from an academic background, and that man's parents were both in graduate school.
Although they would not tell Song Yuqing about the rural girl that Lu Chenghuai had found, they all felt in their hearts that the girl must be a powerful person.
The jeep stopped at the gate of the family compound. Needless to say, after parking the car, the driver took the initiative to go to the back to pick up the luggage.
Lu Chenghuai and Xu Sui got in the car. The gate of their courtyard was relatively simple, but it was considered good in that era.
Lu Chenghuai was wearing a dark blue lapel woolen coat today. The weather in the north was cold, so he wore something thick underneath, but it didn't make him look bulky at all.
Xu Sui was wearing a beige woolen coat. She bought the fabric and had it made by a tailor before New Year's Day. Although the style was simple, it had the advantage of being tailor-made to fit her body. It was specially made long and paired with a wide and long red scarf.
She is tall, with a standard frame, and this outfit gives her a charming beauty.
However, the window had just been opened and a cold wind blew in. At this time, the tip of her nose was slightly red and her eyes were sparkling like a pool of autumn water.
Xu Sui's eyes were stimulated by the cold wind and she felt like crying, but the feeling was not strong.
After Lu Chenghuai finished taking his luggage, he paused when he looked back at her, then walked over and held her hand, "Don't worry, my family will like you."
Xu Sui knew that he had misunderstood, but she did not explain. She just shook his hand back and smiled at him.
Since 1966, the country has banned the sale of lipstick, powder and perfume, but she is not embellished, but her appearance is more and more outstanding, with thick eyebrows, round and high nose, light pink lips, and even wearing a red scarf, there is still a sense of coolness under the reflection of the red.
Lu Chenghuai couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.
This was different from when he first met her. Back then, she was defensive towards him but polite when communicating with him. She would also take the initiative to bring him up during conversations. Now, although she talks less when they are together, he feels much more at ease.
But now looking at her like this, he still feels a sense of unreality.
The girl he likes should go to his house.
Xu Sui was a little puzzled when she saw that he didn't move, "Aren't you going in?"
Lu Chenghuai raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Go in, let's go home first."
Xu Sui didn't know why his arm strength was so good. Although the luggage of the two of them was as light as possible, it was still not small. Especially when Zhang Yunxiu left, she also packed a lot of dry goods in it.
But he was carrying two boxes in his hands and a military bag on his shoulders, and he held her with his free right hand and never let go.
Walking into the family compound gave Xu Sui a subtle sense of familiarity. This feeling reminded her of the sisters-in-law in Haidao's family compound, who also liked to sit in one place, the most convenient place to observe the situation in the compound. It could be said that they could see and hear everything.
However, their attire is much more refined. It's not that they are very Western-style, but the quality of their clothes is already emphasized.
As soon as Lu Chenghuai and Xu Sui passed through the courtyard gate, the people inside looked over at them as if they had sensed something.
Although Lu Chenghuai hasn't returned for two years, their focus is clearly on the girl next to him.
Lu Chenghuai greeted them, and Xu Sui followed suit, calmly accepting their gazes.
Maybe it was pure curiosity, maybe there was malice in it, Xu Sui also looked over with a smile on her face.
"Cheng Huai is back, wow, your girlfriend is really pretty." The man finally came to his senses, "After all, youth is good, look at her skin, it's so tender that it looks like it can be squeezed out of water."
The main thing is that she has a delicate skin and tender flesh, which doesn't look like a country girl! In their impression, country girls have to do a lot of work, and their sex life is also rough. Even if they are pretty, they can't compare with the girls who have been carefully raised in the orphanage since childhood.
The girls in their orphanage are more arrogant than the boys.
But Lu Chenghuai is not only a first-rate looker, impeccable in every way, but also has a great temperament.
Even with so many people staring at him, he didn't show any petty airs, and his face didn't look awkward at all.
It was so different from what they had thought before!
No wonder Lu Chenghuai kept holding the girl's hand. Which guy would be unable to move when looking at a girl like this?
After Lu Chenghuai and Xu Sui left, someone else said, "This woman is so exquisite."
None of them said much just now, mainly because they didn't know what to say. None of them looked like someone in a magazine.
Even Li Jingshu, who had been looking forward to watching the show, pursed her lips, turned around and walked home.
Xu Sui didn't care about those people. She wasn't a member of Lu Chenghuai's family either, but she maintained basic courtesy and remembered everyone's last name when Lu Chenghuai greeted them.
Lu Chenghuai's house was a small three-story building, and he walked in with Xu Sui. When they passed the entrance, they saw Mr. Lu sitting on the sofa in a gabardine suit.
