“Brother Huo, I heard that a new division commander has been transferred to the army. Why don’t you go and make some connections with him? I think that regimental commander’s heart is completely with Lu Huai’an. He doesn’t care about Brother Huo at all. Maybe he’s deliberately suppressing Brother Huo and not promoting him.”
Huo Jun frowned, and couldn't help but start to ponder Liu Cuicui's words.
After all, what he saw today showed that Liu Cuicui hadn't lied to him.
Su Wantang is indeed a capitalist's daughter.
Lu Huai'an was indeed unwilling to marry Su Wantang, and their marriage was merely a facade.
Li Lei managed to keep Lu Huai'an's marriage to a capitalist's daughter a secret. No one in the family compound knew about it. If it weren't for Liu Cuicui, he would have been kept in the dark for who knows how long.
Perhaps... he could trust Liu Cuicui's words and give it a try.
"Brother Huo, I want to buy a television set," Liu Cuicui suddenly said.
Huo Jun frowned: "Why buy that? It's useless and a waste of money."
Liu Cuicui drew circles on Huo Jun's chest: "Our family is also going to have a housewarming party. Su Wantang's family has everything. We can't be outdone, otherwise where will Brother Huo's face be?"
Huo Jun was young and vigorous, and Liu Cuicui aroused his lust, so he threw her onto the bed.
"Thinking about it again?"
"Um."
Liu Cuicui asked breathlessly, "Brother Huo, is it alright?"
"Hmm," Huo Jun replied perfunctorily.
Liu Cuicui pressed her advantage: "Brother Huo, we're married now, so you can give me your allowance from now on, and I'll definitely help you manage the household."
A clear light flashed in his burning black eyes.
Huo Jun hadn't forgotten what Su Wantang said at the dinner table today.
Liu Cuicui used to give him 300 yuan a month for pocket money. If his hard-earned money fell into her hands, wouldn't it be squandered?
"No, I'll only give you five yuan a month. If you think it's too little, you should find a job."
"Brother Huo, isn't five yuan too little?"
Huo Jun's waist felt numb from Liu Cuicui's advances.
He growled, "Ten dollars, no more."
Liu Cuicui knew when to stop.
Ten yuan isn't a lot of money, but she was very satisfied.
In her past life, Lu Huai'an didn't give her a single penny.
She relied entirely on the wooden box given to her by Su Zhichen, which contained two thousand yuan.
That's right, Lu Huai'an wouldn't give Su Wantang money, so what about Su Wantang's watch, bicycle...?
Could it be that the wooden box will end up in Su Wantang's hands for the rest of her life?
No, she had to try and find a way to get the wooden box.
......
Because of today's mediation, Lu Huai'an naturally moved back home.
However, Su Wantang remained distant from him, which made Lu Huai'an feel somewhat depressed.
Zhou Qing, who had just finished running ten laps, said irritably, "Battalion Commander, what's going on? Tell me! I'm not as unreliable as those two. If this continues, all three of us will be ruined."
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Huai'an, who did not want to continue in this state, briefly summarized the confusion between him and Su Wantang.
That's it?
Lu Huai'an's gaze swept coldly over them, and Zhou Qingqing cleared her throat, becoming more serious.
"Battalion Commander, first of all, you were in the wrong. You didn't explain yourself clearly, but instead gave your wife the cold shoulder and even brought up your family. It's good enough that she didn't hit you."
"I realize my mistake, so..."
"Your sister-in-law didn't accept it?"
"Um."
"Battalion Commander, admitting a mistake requires the right attitude. You bought your wife some clothes, hair clips, and scarves... how can you apologize empty-handed?"
"It's only because your sister-in-law has a good temper. If it were me, I would have sent you back to your dorm last night."
"Zhou Qing!"
"Battalion Commander, if you want to mend your relationship with your wife, do as I say, buy her a gift, and sincerely apologize."
"Um."
"Battalion Commander, let me say something more."
"Um?"
"Tiger said something quite right today: you have to use your mouth to speak. You may be aloof on the outside, but if you don't have anything to say to your sister-in-law, you're guaranteed to be in trouble."
After saying that, Zhou Qing slipped away again.
He doesn't talk much?
Lu Huai'an frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.
He turned around and asked for leave, then ran to the department store and carefully selected a gift.
On the way back, a torrential rain began to fall. As soon as Lu Huai'an entered the military base, Li Lei called him away.
“Huai’an, this rainstorm is quite heavy. I think it will last for several more days. You take a team to these counties to reinforce the river embankments to prevent flash floods caused by the continuous heavy rain.”
"yes."
A sudden downpour lasted for a week, and many patients came to the hospital. Su Wantang was busy treating the injured, and Lu Huai'an was also busy with rescue efforts. The two were under the same roof and unexpectedly bumped into each other.
When they bumped into each other, seeing Su Wantang looking exhausted, Lu Huai'an swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Today, as she had done in the past few days, Su Wantang took off her raincoat, changed her half-wet clothes, and was just about to continue working when Liu Hui called her to assemble.
Beside Dean Ling Yi, a tall man covered in mud, whose face was obscured but whose green hue could be vaguely discerned, walked over.
Urgent Notice!
"Days of torrential rain have triggered flash floods, resulting in serious injuries to soldiers and civilians on the front lines. We have received orders from our superiors to go and provide rescue."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this announcement, whispers immediately arose from below.
"I'm not going. It's raining so hard outside. What if there's another flash flood? Wouldn't that be sending us to our deaths?"
“I’m not going either. I have a mother-in-law to take care of and two children to raise.”
...
Ling Yi's face darkened.
They might talk about it privately, but saying it in front of officers in the military makes it seem like the nurses at their military hospital are cowards.
He shouted, "Quiet down!"
