Chapter 773: Yang Shengjun was stimulated
The two of them lived in a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room, and shared a bathroom.
The telephone is in the living room. It is a military phone. It cannot make external calls, but can be transferred to internal lines.
Seeing Yang Shengjun coming back from taking a shower, Lu Hanzhou immediately put down the phone.
He looked up at Yang Shengjun and said, "Well, I've been out for so long, I'm afraid she'll worry."
"Shengjun, you should call home too."
Thinking of his home, Yang Shengjun shook his head and said, "I'll call tomorrow. It's too late today. My mother must be asleep."
"Hanzhou, you should also take a shower and rest early."
"I haven't had a good night's sleep outside these days."
How dare I sleep outside?
There are conflicts on the border every day nowadays. If you fall asleep, you may be eaten like dumplings by the enemy.
Suddenly, Lu Hanzhou remembered the good news reported by his wife: "By the way, Shengjun, my wife just said that Shengnan got married."
"I married my wife's second uncle's youngest daughter, Xu Qiaoqiao, who is a very outstanding girl."
"She also said that your whole family will come to my place tomorrow to celebrate the New Year together."
What?
Is my brother married?
The one he married was... Yang Shengjun really didn't know this news.
Besides being shocked, my emotions were so complicated that they were indescribable.
He regretted his marriage countless times.
I regret it even more now.
He was thinking again: If I hadn’t been obsessed with responsibility…
If the person he married was Xu Zijin and his brother married her sister, how harmonious would their family be!
But what about now?
Yang Shengjun didn't blame Wang Lu.
He knew that this was not only his sister-in-law's problem, but his problem was even bigger.
It is because of his stubborn mind, dull emotions, and inability to distinguish between responsibility and love that he has ended up like this.
Back in his room, Yang Shengjun lay on the bed with his face up, looking at the dark ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
That night, Yang Shengjun was physically tired but couldn't sleep.
Compared to him, Lu Hanzhou and Xu Zijin had a dreamless night and fell asleep until dawn.
Because all the men went to the border, many families in the housing estate spent the New Year casually, but the Lu family prepared to celebrate it in a lively manner.
Early in the morning, Lu Simao started to kill chickens and ducks in the backyard.
Chang Qiumian didn't come in the morning, so Lu Yulan went into the kitchen and took over from her mother as the chef.
At eight o'clock, breakfast was served.
Xu Zijin just finished practicing yoga and came down from upstairs.
"Ziwang, are Sister Xiaoying and Sister Xiaoli here?"
As soon as these words fell, Qiu Xiaoying ran out holding Sanbao: "Teacher, we have been here for a long time."
The two sisters were in very poor health. After Xu Zijin gave them Lingwan water to drink, the two sisters grew a lot taller in just over a year.
Xu Zijin smiled at the girl who was almost 1.6 meters tall in front of him and said, "Okay, let's get ready to eat."
After dinner, I went to the Military Service Center.
At this time of year in previous years, this place was very lively, but when Xu Zijin arrived there, he found that it was particularly deserted this year.
There is no New Year atmosphere at all.
The person answering the phone at the service center today was the relative of Deputy Commander Chen. Because of what happened to Zhu Xiaolian, Wu Meiying forced a smile when she saw her.
"Xiao Xu, are you here to make a call?"
The main force has gone out, and only two family members work in the service center every day, one selling things and the other answering the phone.
By the afternoon, except for one soldier who was left to guard the place, all the family members had gone home to celebrate the New Year.
"Yes, Aunt Wu, are you on duty today?"
Xu Zijin didn't expect it was her, and he had nothing to say to Wu Meiying, so he could only respond with a smile.
However, Wu Meiying was exceptionally enthusiastic.
"Come, come, there's a fire here, sit here and play. There's no one here today, so just take your time."
It’s free to play slowly, right?
Xu Zijin didn't know what to say.
But since he was her elder and she had no grudge against him, she immediately went over and sat down.
I made four calls in a row, each lasting about five minutes.
After settling the bill, Xu Zijin prepared to leave...
"Xiao Xu..."
Just as she was about to stand up, Wu Meiying stopped her.
Xu Zijin looked up at her: "Aunt Wu, is there anything wrong?"
Wu Meiying pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Xu, can I ask you for a favor?"
"The children want their mother to come back and spend the New Year together. Can you do me a favor..."
What the hell are the kids thinking?
Xu Zijin knew that Zhu Xiaolian's son and daughter went to the city to reunite with their mother every Sunday.
I’m afraid that the children’s statement that they miss their mother is not true, it is this aunt who does.
Now that Zhu Xiaolian has become rich, the noodle shop’s business is so good that you can’t get noodles unless you queue up at mealtime.
And I heard that her ex-husband Chen Qi had trouble at work and was fired, and the factory director's daughter no longer wanted to be with him.
It seems that this aunt wants to bring Zhu Xiaolian together with her son.
I really admire these people's brains.
Xu Zijin smiled faintly: "Aunt Wu, I'm afraid Sister Xiaolian won't be able to come."
Wu Meiying was shocked: "Why? Is she so busy?"
"Yes, she is not free."
Xu Zijin nodded: "She's married, so she has to go to her husband's house for the New Year."
What?
Is Zhu Xiaolian married?
Wu Meiying was shocked by the news: "Who would marry her? Xiao Xu, you are not kidding me, are you?"
What does it mean?
Xu Zijin was a little unhappy: "Aunt Wu, do you mean that no one else will marry Sister Xiaolian except your Chen family?"
"Is she ugly, or is she a bad person?"
"No, no, no."
Wu Meiying knew she had said the wrong thing.
"That's not what I meant. I meant, she's not young anymore, why did she get married all of a sudden?"
“I haven’t heard the kids say that.”
What does it mean to say the wrong thing?
That’s obviously what I meant!
Xu Zijin believed that this was what Wu Meiying meant.
You want other people's money and look down on others. You really are like a whore who wants to be a saint!
Xu Zijin despises people like this the most.
"Aunt Wu, Sister Xiaolian has been divorced for more than a year. She is beautiful, kind-hearted and rich. There is a long queue of people who want to marry her."
"The man she married this time was a retired soldier named Chen Liqiang, the office director of the Municipal Supply and Marketing Company, who was five years older than her."
"Brother-in-law Chen was married, but his wife fell ill ten years ago and passed away five years ago, leaving him with no children."
"He is a relative of Sister Xiaolian's business partner. He fell in love with Sister Xiaolian at first sight and pursued her for half a year. Sister Xiaolian finally agreed not long ago."
"After New Year's Day, we had a meal together, and Brother-in-law Chen said that he would treat Sister Xiaolian's child as his own."
Wu Meiying just felt her head buzzing, and she didn't hear a word of Xu Zijin's subsequent words.
At this moment, there was only one voice in her heart: Zhu Xiaolian is getting married, so what should her son do?
She has lost her job, is in her thirties, and has two children to support. Who would be willing to marry her in the future?
