Song Nanting's eyes were unfriendly, and Lu Jianan was very perceptive and noticed the look immediately.
His heart skipped a beat, but he had no idea that he was taking the blame for his past life.
Song Nanting smiled and said, "I didn't know he could cook."
In one sentence, Lu Jianan knew where the problem lay.
Without waiting for his explanation, Hua Yingyue was also surprised, and then teased, "He is good at hiding it. I guess he wants to give you a surprise."
Song Nanting glanced at Lu Jianan with a smile, "Captain Lu is really knowledgeable and talented. There is nothing you don't know."
This tone made Lu Jianan helpless, "I'll do it for you when I have time in the future."
That's about right.
Song Nanting finally had a smile on her face.
After dinner, Hua Yingyue rushed to wash the dishes. When she came back, she saw Song Nanting and his wife talking to Lu Chengbai there.
Lu Chengbai was talking about the war in the early years. These old people liked to tell stories about that time. What was rare was that Song Nanting was interested. Lu Chengbai finally found a confidant, and he spoke passionately and enthusiastically.
When people get excited, they tend to ignore many problems.
For example, his eldest grandson gave him more than one look, but he didn't receive it.
Song Nanting did see it, but she just sat there on purpose and didn't leave, and seemed quite happy talking to Mr. Lu.
After a while, Hua Yingyue came over and said, "Don't sit on the kang all the time. Go walk around in the yard to help digest your food and rest early."
He glanced at his eldest son, and there was a hint of anxiety between his brows.
After all, they are newlyweds and haven’t had their wedding night yet. My mother understands.
Chasing a few people to stroll in the yard.
Lu Chengbai sighed, "The Northeast is still better. There is more land and fewer people. The yards we are given are bigger than those in our capital. Even in our yard, we don't even have space to grow cabbage."
But in fact, the yard was not small, it was just planted with flowers by Hua Yingyue.
Hua Yingyue ignored his words and asked Song Nanting, "Do you want to plant some roses under the wall?"
Song Nanting thought of the splendor of roses in spring and was interested. "But I don't have any of these here."
Hua Yingyue thought so too. If she had known this earlier, she would have cut some for grafting when she came here.
Song Nanting added, "I plan to plant pumpkins, winter melons, and loofahs this year. The pumpkins and winter melons can be stored and eaten all winter long, and the loofahs can be used to wash dishes when they are old, which is also very practical."
Hearing this, Hua Yingyue became interested again, "I heard Aunt Song say that they all have cellars at home, do you have one here?"
Song Nanting really didn't know about this.
Lu Jianan nodded, "Yes, it's right at the base of the wall outside the west wing, but it hasn't been used for a long time. I'll fix it up when I have time."
Song Nanting breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have a cellar. In the northeast, the temperature was too low in winter, and some vegetables could not be preserved at all. The existence of a cellar could solve many problems. Dig deeper, it would be warm in winter and cool in summer, and it would be most convenient to store fruits and vegetables. I just don't know how big this one is.
If it wasn't so late, she really wanted to go down and see what was going on inside.
Lu Jianan seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "I have five days off for the wedding. I will pack it up for you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Song Nanting nodded hurriedly and said happily, "Okay."
The other people were also very interested, as they were always curious about things they had never seen before.
Although the capital's winter is cold, Lu Chengbai and his son are both high-ranking. Most of the vegetables and meat they eat are supplied by the army's special farms. There are even some greenhouses in the suburban farms of the capital, where chickens, ducks, fish and other things are raised, so they don't have to worry about food and drink even in winter. It is impossible to imagine the life in the Northeast.
But after listening to Song Nanting's explanation, Hua Yingyue felt a little sad, "It's still too hard here..."
As she spoke, Lu Jianan's expression gradually turned colder, and Hua Yingyue didn't dare to say anything more.
A few years ago, when Lu Jianan returned to the capital to visit his relatives, Lu Minghao suggested that he return to the capital to take up a position. The father and son had a big fight over this matter, and Lu Jianan returned to the Northeast without staying at home for years.
If she continues to say bad things about the Northeast, she might anger him.
Hua Yingyue felt bad, she really just felt sorry for her son.
Lu Jianan said, "It's getting late, Grandpa, you should go to bed early."
After saying that, he held Song Nanting's hand and prepared to go back to the house.
Lu Chengbai stopped him and said, "Come back to the capital to celebrate the New Year this year."
After a while, Lu Jianan glanced at Song Nanting and said, "Let's talk about it later."
After the two of them went to wash up, Lu Chengbai looked at Hua Yingyue, sighed and said, "This is not your fault. The relationship between them as father and son did not develop overnight. With Xiao Song here, I believe it will slowly get better."
Hearing this, Hua Yingyue's eyes welled up with tears, and she choked up and said, "Hey."
Before Lu Jianan left home, the family of three had a big fight. At that time, although Lu Chengbai disagreed, he did not stop him. However, Lu Minghao tried to stop him very fiercely.
The reason why he did not agree with Lu Jianan joining the army was because the previous generation suffered terrible consequences when they joined the army.
Lu Chengbai and his wife had four children, three sons and one daughter, but only Lu Minghao survived. The eldest son died at the age of seventeen without even getting married. The second son got married and had a child, but the couple died. The child now lives with his grandparents and is not very close to his family. There was also a little daughter, who followed her husband to the battlefield when she was just over one year old and never came back.
So Lu Minghao strongly opposed his son joining the army back then.
However, Lu Jianan grew up in such an environment. He grew up listening to stories about wars of his parents and grandfathers. How could he be willing to be a soldier in the capital? He even broke up with his father and insisted on joining the army.
At that time, Lu Jianan was just a teenager, and he hadn't returned home for seven or eight years.
Later, when I was older, I went back to visit my family, and we would always quarrel over one issue or another.
A few years ago, Lu Jianan was promoted to the rank of deputy battalion commander, but Lu Minghao still hoped that he could be transferred back to the capital. The father and son had another quarrel, and even Lu Chengbai couldn't dissuade them. The relationship between the father and son became tense.
The lights in the main room came on, and Lu Chengbai waved his hand and said, "Go back to your room and rest. Everything will be fine in the future."
In the main room, Lu Jianan picked up Song Nanting like pulling a carrot.
Song Nanting hugged his head and kissed him.
"Let's go to the bridal chamber."
With a humming sound, Lu Jianan's blood rushed to his head.
After turning off the lights and getting on the kang, both of them became nervous.
The wedding night is about to begin.
