Chapter 772 The Phone Call
Of course you have to eat well during the Chinese New Year.
The Lu family's daily life is pretty good, but in order to prevent their children from feeling too superior, the food they eat is just so-so.
But today is different.
Today is Chinese New Year, the most important festival for the Dragon people.
Whatever Xu Zijin thought of in his mind, he would write.
Soon, several main courses were decided.
"Mom, chicken, duck, fish, braised pork, seafood platter, braised pork head, six big dishes, is that enough?"
Why is it not enough?
Mother Lu knew that even though life had become much better now, how many families could afford such a sumptuous New Year?
"It's definitely enough. Didn't you promise to give the kids some cola-cooked chicken wings? There are actually seven dishes."
Yes, yes, yes, she almost forgot.
Seven doesn't make a pair, which is not good.
Xu Zijin thought for a moment and said, "Then add one more, and a charcoal grilled steak, to make eight. Eight sounds good, so let's do it!"
“In the new year, I wish prosperity to all of us!”
My daughter-in-law said eight, so that’s eight!
Anyway, Mother Lu couldn't figure out where her daughter-in-law got so much meat.
But she knew that they were all brought back for her children to eat.
"Well, I'll do as you say. Eight is eight. I'll also serve you some foreign food!"
Eight main dishes, eight side dishes, and two cold dishes, eighteen - actual!
After a discussion between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Lu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner menu was ready!
Just as we finished discussing it, the phone rang.
"young married woman."
"husband?"
Xu Zijin was extremely surprised.
I haven't received a call from Lu Hanzhou for almost a month. A month ago, he called me and said that he was going into the mountains for training.
Unexpectedly, I would be gone for a month.
I suddenly received a call today saying that I was unhappy. That was a lie.
"Yeah, it's me. Did you miss me?"
The voice on the phone was Lu Hanzhou's deep voice, and there was excitement in his steady voice, which showed that he was also very happy.
Xu Zijin's eyes were swollen and his nose was sore: How can I not think about it?
I think about it day and night, when I walk, and even when I eat.
"Yes, I really do."
"I dreamed about you last night. I dreamed that you were dancing with a female soldier."
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha”
There was a burst of laughter on the other end of the phone: "Wife, there are no female soldiers, but there are plenty of female mosquitoes and cockroaches!"
Female mosquitoes, female cockroaches... Along the thousands of kilometers of border, the number of these nasty little creatures can really only be counted infinitely.
Xu Zijin didn't want to waste the short call time on joking around. She wanted to know about the man's work and life.
"Hubby, did the training in the mountains go smoothly this time?"
"It's going very smoothly. With your lucky card, it's impossible for things not to go smoothly!"
The mission was completed exceptionally well this time, and there were new discoveries. Lu Hanzhou had been thinking about reporting this good news to his wife.
"Wife, let me tell you, your lucky card worked like a charm for the first time!"
"A few days ago, when I was leading a team to scout a place, I discovered a pristine valley."
"That place is quite secretive. Maybe no one has ever been there. But the strange thing is that it is not a dense primeval forest."
“The trees in the valley are tall but few in number, and the forest is moist but there are few weeds.”
"I almost sat on a wild ginseng plant while taking a break."
"You know, that ginseng has a well-developed root system that looks like a web. It took me a long time to dig it up."
"What's even more surprising is that not only did I find one, but everyone in my team also found one, and some even found several."
"However, no one has ever dug a ginseng bigger than mine. Everyone says that mine must be the king of ginseng!"
Is there such a good thing?
Xu Zijin was very happy: "Now everyone will get rich with you!"
"Hahaha……"
Lu Hanzhou laughed again: "Wife, our brothers' fortune depends on you. I will send it back to you after it dries."
"You went through so much trouble giving birth to a child, it must have damaged your body. Let this replenish your energy."
"So that you don't have to complain about being tired every day when I come back."
Who is it! ! !
When he came back, she complained of being tired. Did he mean that she wouldn't be tired if he hadn't come back?
Xu Zijin's face couldn't help but get hot.
This is the army's inside line. It would be very embarrassing if the operator heard it.
"Honey, your troops are also celebrating the New Year tomorrow, right?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Hanzhou knew that his wife was shy, so he deliberately changed the subject.
Alas, my young wife is too shy and won’t cooperate even when I want to indulge in my desire to talk.
——Wife, when will you become thicker-skinned?
Knowing his wife's personality, Lu Hanzhou could only change the subject.
"Of course we have to celebrate! The food in the army is very good, with plenty of fish and meat every day, it's no different from Chinese New Year."
"As for food, don't worry about us, we are fine."
"By the way, Dad is here, right?"
Xu Zijin nodded repeatedly: "They are here. Sanmao and Long Xing also arrived with Qingdou on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month."
"Husband, do you know? Shengnan is married, and you know his lover."
Is Yang Shengnan married?
Lu Hanzhou was shocked: "So fast? Who is his wife?"
Xu Zijin then talked about Yang Shengnan and Xu Qiaoqiao, and also mentioned the New Year's Day tomorrow.
"Husband, do you think this fate is really destined?"
"Last July, when Shengnan graduated and returned to the teacher's school, he said he was too busy studying and had no time to find a partner. It's been just over a year, and they're already getting married."
Fate is definitely predestined by heaven.
Lu Hanzhou believed it firmly.
"That's good. You cousins will become sisters-in-law. It will be more convenient for you to visit each other in the future."
"Wife, you have to take care of the whole family. You have worked hard."
When you are in a good mood, you will be full of energy.
Xu Zijin is in a good mood now.
With a career she loves and a group of good sisters, she feels energized every day.
The fulfilling days made her completely change her mind about lying down.
How can it be more joyful to just lie down and do nothing, eat and wait for death than to build a career for yourself and make some contribution to the army?
"No, I already have a father and a mother at home. It's not my turn to take care of them. It's my parents who take care of me."
"Husband, as a military wife, I am the happiest one."
"Having a good husband and good parents-in-law is the greatest blessing for every woman."
"Everything is fine at home, don't worry, the children are all very obedient, please take care of yourself at the border."
"Those ungrateful bastards are very mean and cunning. Keep your lucky card with you and beat them down!"
Lu Hanzhou's heart felt warm when he heard his wife's understanding words on the phone.
As a man, what else could you ask for if you have a partner like this?
"Wife, when I return victoriously, I will love you well!"
"Well, I'll wait."
The phone call lasted almost an hour, and the couple chatted about family matters.
After taking a shower, Yang Shengjun returned to the house. Seeing the deep tenderness on his brother's face, he felt sad.
"Did you call home?"
