The military’s guesthouse is not far from the family compound, and is populated by military dependents who come to visit their families.
Lu Fengbi took Liu Shuning and Ruibao to a guesthouse and booked a room. After sending them to the room, he left.
He was going back to his old dormitory to sleep that night. Fortunately, he hadn't moved yet and there was still a bed for him in the dormitory.
After Lu Fengbi left, the staff of the guesthouse gathered together and started whispering.
"Auntie Wang, wasn't it Deputy Battalion Commander Lu from the Third Battalion who just came to check into the hotel? I heard that he went back to get married some time ago. Could that girl above be his wife? How could they have a two or three-year-old child just after getting married? Could Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife be getting married for the second time?"
"Chun Ya, stop talking nonsense. The way Deputy Battalion Commander Lu's wife walks, it's obvious that she is a virgin. The child might be her brother's. She is marrying Deputy Battalion Commander Lu with her nephew. There are so many girls who like Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, but I didn't expect him to choose a girl with a child." Aunt Wang sighed. It was such a pity for Deputy Battalion Commander Lu. She was thinking of introducing her niece to him!
"No way, why would she help her brother take care of the child? Is she an orphan?"
"Maybe! Well, let's not worry about other people's idleness and get to work! I still have to go to the third floor to clean the bathroom!"
Liu Shuning didn't know that bringing a child here would cause so many rumors. She was willing to help take care of Ruibao, only because of Ruibao's parents and the three reward sign-in points.
In the room, Liu Shuning was packing her luggage, and Ruibao was crawling on the bed. I don't know if it was because he really regarded Liu Shuning as his mother, or if he was just brave, but he didn't cry or make a fuss when he came to a strange place.
After playing for a while, Ruibao got tired of it. He touched his belly and walked to Liu Shuning. "Mom, baby is hungry and wants to eat."
Liu Shuning looked at the sky outside the window which was gradually getting darker, and thought that it would not be convenient to go out to find food at this time, so the guesthouse should have a cafeteria.
She smiled and said to Ruibao, "Good boy, mommy will go ask if we can have dinner here, come back soon."
"Mom, I'm going too."
"Okay, let's go together,"
Liu Shuning went downstairs carrying the child and happened to meet Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang asked enthusiastically, "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Shuning smiled politely: "Auntie, where can I eat around here? The child is hungry."
"If you want to go to the army canteen, I'll show you the way." Aunt Wang pointed to the canteen's direction and showed it to Liu Shuning.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Liu Shuning was about to take the child upstairs to get a lunch box when she saw Lu Fengxue holding a lunch box.
"Wife, why did you come down? Let's go upstairs and eat."
"I thought you had gone back to the dorm. Ruibao and I were planning to go to the cafeteria to get some food."
"I came here because I was worried about you two. You just arrived at the army, and I was worried that you would be embarrassed to go to the cafeteria to buy food, so I brought the food here for you."
Liu Shuning felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect Lu Fengge to be so considerate. "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Fengbi smiled and said, "It's not hard. Go back to your room quickly. The food is getting cold."
The three of them returned to the room, and Lu Fengji opened the lunch box. Inside was a fragrant meal, including vegetables, tofu and braised pork.
When Ruibao saw the food, his eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and shouted, "Eat, eat, eat."
Liu Shuning sat on the edge of the bed holding Ruibao, and Lu Fengbi also sat down beside him.
Liu Shuning fed Ruibao, and the little guy ate voraciously, finishing half a bowl in a short while.
