Chapter 11



Qingdao University is located in the provincial capital of S Province.

It was only three hours' drive from the military area where he was located, and it would only take more than two hours to get there.

This would be better than her staying at home.

He also didn't want her to stay at home all the time; he could only see her and his son a few days a year.

Thinking of this, his mood became much brighter.

Su Ruo didn't expect things to be so simple.

She was not an unrealistic person and certainly knew what kind of resistance and risks she would encounter if she took her son out to live alone.

Even Wu Guizhi would probably be in chaos.

If it doesn't delay the exam, going to the military district with him would definitely be the easiest option.

The only concern is...his husband.

She thought about it carefully, weighed the pros and cons, and finally did not refuse. She just said: "It's so sudden, is it convenient for you to arrange it? And where Guoguo and I live..."

Han Zecheng appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually holding his breath, waiting for her answer.

Hearing her say that, I knew she was almost willing to do it. My heart finally relaxed, and my expression eased. I smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient. I will submit the application for the married dormitory when I go back tomorrow. I will stay in the guesthouse for two days tomorrow night. There are many empty houses in the military area. It will be approved in one or two days."

Under normal circumstances, you might have to queue up to apply for a married dormitory, but the military area was renovated a few years ago and a new family building was built, so there are still many vacant houses.

He has a high rank, so as long as he submits his application it should be approved quickly.

Is it that easy?

Su Ruo looked at his smile and was stunned for a moment.

This seemed to be the first time she saw him smile since she opened her eyes.

He had a cold and hard look, and his expression was always tense, which made people feel pressured. But when he smiled, albeit a faint smile, he actually looked very good.

She wanted to ask him, if it was such an easy thing, why didn't she join the army before.

But she moved her lips and didn't want to ask anymore. Hearing him and his mother talking about "divorce" right away, she roughly guessed that their relationship must not have been very good in the past.

Since it wasn't very good, who knew if there were any minefields in it, so she thought it would be better not to ask for the time being.

She was so absorbed in thinking about these things that she didn't say anything.

Han Zecheng thought she still had some concerns, so after thinking for a while, he said, "Aruo, I know you don't remember anything. Don't worry, even if you go to the army, I won't force you to do anything. Before you are ready, we will just treat each other as ordinary relatives. After all, you are Guoguo's mother and I am his father. No matter what, we are still a family."

Force her, force her for what?

Su Ruo was stunned, and then her mind flashed back to the time when he kissed her last night...

Well, she wasn't worried about that.

She didn't think he looked like that either.

She was just worried that it would be awkward for the two of them to get along with each other.

After all, even if he didn't do anything, he was still her nominal husband, and it was awkward to live with him... and sleep in the same bed...

She turned her face away, arbitrarily sorted out the things on the table with her hands, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, okay."

After saying that, he felt it was not enough, so he added "thank you" in a low voice.

Han Zecheng saw that she looked a little flustered and her ears were slowly turning red.

She had never been so easy to talk to before.

Not so obedient and soft.

Don't blush easily.

He didn't know what he felt, so he just stood behind her and looked at her for a long time before he said, "Okay, I'll get you some water to wash your face. After breakfast, pack up and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

He set out at three or four in the morning so that he could get back to the military area before lunch. After settling them down, he could go and complete various procedures in the afternoon.

This is really vigorous and decisive.

At this moment, Su Ruo didn't care about being shy or embarrassed. She quickly raised her head, took a breath, shook her head at him, and said with a smile: "No, I'll go out with you. I haven't met anyone else yet."

After making the decision to leave, she was no longer afraid of seeing anyone again.

Take a look at the situation. It doesn’t matter if there is anything wrong. I’ll be leaving tomorrow anyway.

******

This time the two of them went out and there was no one in the main room.

Han Zecheng took Su Ruo directly to the kitchen.

Sister-in-law Liu Xiumei was serving porridge and preparing to take it out. When she saw Han Zecheng and Su Ruo come in, she carefully called out, "Second brother, second brother's wife."

Han Zecheng said hello to Liu Xiumei and went to the back to get a toothbrush and toothpaste for Su Ruo. When Liu Xiumei saw this, she put down the porridge and rushed forward to get the thermos to pour water into the wash basin for Su Ruo. While pouring the water, she smiled and said to Su Ruo, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling better today? If you are not feeling well, take a rest for two more days."

Su Ruo had heard that it was this sister-in-law who took care of her when she was sick the past two days, so she hurried forward and said, "I can do it myself. Thank you for taking care of me these two days."

Liu Xiumei has finished pouring the hot water.

She scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank and mixed it into the hot water, while she smiled and said, "We are all family, why are you being so polite? My Pi Xiaozi and Lai Qiu have troubled you a lot on weekdays."

She had three children, all of whom attended the commune primary school and were taken care of by Su Ruo.

Over the years, first the youngest son Laichun, and then the daughter Laiqiu, would go to and from school on the back seat of Su Ruo's bicycle.

In addition, Su Ruo was also generous. She often bought things for the children. If there were Korean fruits to eat, she would also prepare some for Lai Chun and Lai Qiu.

She was not a heartless person, nor was she spoiled by her parents like the third sister and her third brother's wife. She thought it was natural for Su Ru to buy anything for them. How could she not be grateful?

But Su Ruo didn't know all this.

She just felt Liu Xiumei's kindness, so she smiled at her, took the toothbrush and cup handed to her by Han Zecheng, and followed him outside to brush her teeth.

Liu Xiumei sighed as she looked at the backs of the two people, one tall and the other slender, who both looked pleasing to the eye and very well matched.

She heard the quarrel between her mother-in-law and her second brother just now at the door.

She knew what her mother-in-law was thinking.

Isn’t it just that you want your second brother to marry a rural woman who is easier to control?

In this way, she can hold both the fruits and her second brother's money in her own hands.

But she didn't think about it. Her second brother graduated from a military academy and now has a bright future in the army. Even if he is divorced, how could he possibly be interested in the kind of obedient and easy-to-control rural girl that her mother-in-law likes?

In fact, let alone the ones that my mother-in-law liked, even among the educated youth she had met, she had never seen another one with as good looks and temperament as Su Ruo.

She felt that if her mother-in-law continued to make trouble like this, no matter what would happen to her second brother and his wife, her second brother would become more and more fed up with her mother-in-law and this family.

******

After Su Ruo finished washing up, she helped her sister-in-law Liu Xiumei take the bowls and plates to the main room to set up the chopsticks. At this time, Han Heping and Wu Guizhi also came out of the room.

Then Han Jiasong, Han Jialin and the children from the back room also came to the front to eat together.

The whole family came over, and the main room, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became crowded.

Perhaps it was because Han Heping had persuaded her well. Although Wu Guizhi still looked unhappy at the dinner table, she did not say anything unpleasant.

The Han family had two tables for dinner.

Han Heping, Wu Guizhi and the men had a large 8-person table.

Several daughters-in-law and the children, except Han Laidong, the eldest daughter-in-law who had gone to the fields to earn work points, were sitting at another small square table.

There was a large bowl of porridge and a bowl of pickled vegetables on the big eight-immortals table, but the pickled vegetables were fried with fat, and they looked greasy and particularly tempting.

There were also a few cornmeal buns cut into several pieces and a few wild vegetable and egg pancakes.

The pancake is not very oily, but the yellow egg topped with green wild vegetables looks very delicious.

So the children sitting on the small tables looked at the big eight-immortal table eagerly.

The reason was simple. Although there was porridge, pickles and cornmeal buns on the small table, there was no wild vegetable and egg pancake.

Han Zecheng frowned when he sat down, and he looked back at Su Ruo.

Su Ruo smiled at him and shook her head slightly.

She really doesn't care about this.

Everyone's living conditions were difficult at that time, but Su Ruo's family conditions had been good since she was a child, and Lin Wanhua didn't dare to skimp on her food, so she really didn't feel anything about just one or two meals.

Wu Guizhi felt even more upset when she saw the eye contact between her son and daughter-in-law.

But thinking of the old man's advice to him, he endured it and just took the bowl of omelets to distribute the omelets to the people at the table, and said heavily, "Let's eat."

However, as soon as the meal started, Han Lai Qiu, the youngest child in the first room, and Han Lai Bao, the only child in the third room, went to the big table with their bowls of porridge.

No one else said anything, and it was apparently like this all the time.

Han Guo, however, sat there obediently, not even looking at the table.

Su Ruo looked at him in surprise, feeling somewhat proud that she had taught her son well.

"Guozi, come and sit with your dad. Grandma will give you some omelette."

At this time, Wu Guizhi suddenly spoke to Han Guo who was sitting at the small table.

Han Guo looked up at Su Ruo, then looked at Wu Guizhi who was talking to him with a smile.

He blinked and said, "Because my dad is here? No, just drink the milk. My mom will buy me some later."

This is really rich information.

Wu Guizhi's face suddenly turned dark.

This is really a case of bad bamboo bringing out bad bamboo shoots. The vixen's son is so cunning and annoying at such a young age!

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became awkward.

Wu Guizhi directly stuffed the egg pancake on the chopsticks into the bowl of Han Laibao, the grandson of the third family next to her. Finally, Han Laibao gave her a flattering smile and whispered, "Thank you, grandma. I knew you were the best to me!"

Wu Guizhi's complexion looked better.

He no longer paid attention to Han Guo and picked up another omelet to share with the others at the table.

Han Guo curled his lips and sneered almost inaudibly.

Su Ruo almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

This is indeed her son.

She held back her smile, reached out to grab a cornmeal bun and stuffed it into Han Guo's mouth, thinking, I'll teach him a lesson after we leave.

Nothing more happened at the dinner table afterwards.

Han Zecheng was a soldier, and even when he was eating he kept his back straight and his expression stern. The others were afraid of him already, and Wu Guizhi, the only one who was not afraid of him, was choked by Han Guo, and she was also worried. Even though her beloved Han Laibao tried to coax her, she was in no mood to talk much, so the Han family had an especially stiff breakfast.
