Chapter 109

Jiang Nian's eyelashes trembled, and she looked up at Lu Yu: "Xu Yan and Liu Qiang divorced. Liu Qiang not only beat her, but also didn't want the child. He sent the mother and the child away."

She couldn't help crying, and threw herself into Lu Yu's arms and sobbed. She felt distressed when she thought of Xu Yan's experience: "I'm afraid Xu Yan will follow in my footsteps for the rest of her life. Lu Yu, I want to find Xu Yan and help her."

Lu Yu hugged Jiang Nian and patted her thin back: "I know which commune Xu Yan's parents are in. I will send a telegram to Xu Yan's brigade tomorrow to ask about her situation. The people in the commune will explain Xu Yan's situation after receiving the telegram."

Jiang Nian felt better after hearing this.

Lu Yu wiped the tears from her face: "Don't cry, or your eyes will be swollen tomorrow."

Zhang Xiao didn't see Jiang Nian and Lu Yu come out for a long time, and joked towards the kitchen: "Captain Lu, Sister Jiang, you two live in the kitchen?"

Zhu Jun smiled and said: "That's right, what do you two say that we can't listen to?"

Lu Yu rubbed Jiang Nian's head and said to the outside: "I'm whispering to my wife."

Jiang Nian burst into laughter, stretched out her hands to hold Lu Yu's shoulders, and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips, but she was too short to kiss him, so she kissed Lu Yu's Adam's apple. The man's Adam's apple rolled violently a few times, and he held back the fire in his body and inside, The warning without any intimidation: "Don't kiss randomly."

Jiang Nian was getting more aggressive and kissed him again.

Seeing the veins on Lu Yu's forehead tense, Jiang Nian looked down at the changes in his body and felt that he had played too much. He was so scared that he quickly retreated to the front of the chopping board, put two dishes in front of him and walked out. From his back, you can see that he was running away in panic.

Lu Yu: ...

He closed his eyes to calm his anger and took out the remaining dishes in two batches.

Zhu Jun and Lu Yu drank some white wine during this meal. When they were lying in bed at night, Jiang Nian turned over and hugged Lu Yu, talking about Liu Qiang. She wanted to report Liu Qiang. He had an affair with Zheng Hong in the early years, which tortured Xu Yan. He was indifferent to Xu Yan in the past two years, and he was entangled with other women. Now he has abandoned his wife and children.

He knows Xu Yan's temper, so he led Xu Yan to initiate the divorce and take the children away. He made himself clean and innocent, so that no one can find fault with him.

This kind of person is the most insidious and malicious.

Lu Yu rarely saw Jiang Nian so angry and disgusted with someone. He patted Jiang Nian on the back and said, "Leave these things to me."

Jiang Nian looked up at him and said, "You want to report Liu Qiang? But he must have thought of all the ways out when he divorced Xu Yan."

Lu Yu said, "What he did will always leave traces." He paused and continued, "Someone will report it."

After that, he blocked Jiang Nian's mouth.

Jiang Nian struggled for a while, staring at him with bright eyes, and when he found a gap, he said, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yu said, "Continue what I didn't finish in the kitchen."

Jiang Nian: ...

She tried to stop him: "Zhang Xiao and Zhu Jun are next door."

Lu Yu laughed softly, "Don't worry, I'm very quiet, they can't hear it."

Jiang Nian: ??? The next morning

,

Lu Yu sent a telegram to Xu Yan's commune. He sent an expedited telegram, so if it was fast, he would receive a reply in about two days.

Zhu Jun had a seven-day vacation, and he stayed here for four days. Jiang Nian cooked for them in various ways, which finally made Zhu Jun have a good meal. Zhu Jun brought a lot of food this time, including pheasants and rabbits hunted by his father from the mountains.

Zhang Xiao did not go to work, and stayed at home in the courtyard to take care of the baby. In the past year, she has become familiar with the military wives in the courtyard. She told Jiang Nian that the family who moved into Feng's house is now fine. The deputy head of the regiment sent his mother away. Now the couple has a good relationship and is very friendly with Zhang Xiao.

On the day Zhu Jun left, Lu Yu received a telegram from Xu Yan. In that era, telegrams were charged by word. There was only one sentence on it: Xu Yan left with her two children and a soldier.

Jiang Nian thought about it for a whole day but couldn't figure it out? Which man did Xu Yan leave with?

No? Could it be that Liu Qiang repented and went back to pick up Xu Yan and her son?

After Lu Yu came back in the evening, Jiang Nian asked him: "Who do you think that man is? Is it Liu Qiang?"

Lu Yu said: "I will ask Zhu Jun tomorrow. He just returned to the army today and should know."

Because he was always worried about Xu Yan, Jiang Nian couldn't sleep well at night and had nightmares one after another. He dreamed that Xu Yan returned to her parents' home and married an old bachelor. The old bachelor sold Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jianwu, and bullied Xu Yan by beating or scolding her. She woke up before dawn and was so angry that she wanted to take a train to beat Liu Qiang up.

Lu Yu couldn't help laughing: "Are you so angry? You cursed Liu Qiang in your dreams at night."

Jiang Nian was startled: "Did I talk in my sleep?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Yeah, he cursed quite fiercely."

Jiang Nian: ...

Lu Yu got up and made breakfast, then left after eating. He first called the troops over there and asked Zhu Jun about the situation of Liu Qiang and Xu Yan before going to the regiment. When he returned home at noon, Jiang Nian asked him about it as soon as he entered the house. Lu Yu said, "No, it was Liu Qiang who answered Xu Yan's phone. "Xu Yan, Liu Qiang has given up the family compound, and the house has been allocated to other families."

Seeing that Jiang Nian was distracted, Lu Yu comforted her, "I will ask people about Xu Yan's whereabouts during this period."

Xu Yan was no longer a city resident after divorcing Liu Qiang. She took her two children and left with a soldier. Lu Guosheng transferred to the police station to work in household registration a few years ago. He should be able to find someone to help check where Xu Yan's current household registration is.

Lu Yu told Jiang Nian about this, and Jiang Nian felt relieved.

The next day, Lu Yu called the operator and was transferred to the police station where Captain Lu worked. It was in the county town next to the original city, two hours' drive from the urban area. They said that Lu Guosheng had gone to the countryside to investigate the population and household registration, and would not be back for more than half a month.

Jiang Nian had been embroidering at home during this period. This time, the embroidery was the one from overseas. Lu Yu was also very busy during this period, often leaving early and returning late. Sometimes he could not go home for two days. Shu Xue often came to see Jiang Nian. She was also embroidering at home now, but for the time being, she was embroidering small embroidery pictures, which were fixed in an embroidery shed so that she could visit people everywhere.

Tian Mai came over on Sunday and asked Jiang Nian and Lu Yu to go to their house for dinner in the evening. Lu Yu was too busy to come, so Jiang Nian went over with a can of maltose. Deputy Head Kuang was not at home either. According to Tian Mai, the Third Regiment has been very busy recently.

Kuang Qian made a cup of malted milk for Jiang Nian. The little girl was more lively than she was six months ago. She smiled sweetly: "Auntie Jiang."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you." Then he asked, "How are you doing in school now?"

Kuang Qian had a little pride on her face: "I am the monitor of the class now. The teacher praised me in front of the whole class today."

Jiang Nian held the enamel cup and smiled: "Qian'er is great. Keep it up."

Tian Mai took the food to the outside. Jiang Nian saw a plate of roast chicken, delicate white flour steamed buns and a plate of stir-fried pork with beans on the table. Everyone knew how difficult life was for Deputy Head Kuang's family, and Jiang Nian knew it even better. Although Kuang Qian didn't need to pay tuition to go to school, she still had to pay for books. Kuang Xiu also had to pay a few yuan for painting every month. Deputy Head Kuang also had to send some money back to his mother. Add to that the daily expenses, and there wasn't much left after a month.

Her family was already in financial difficulty, and they even bought such a luxurious meat when they invited her and Lu Yu to dinner.

"Where's Xiu'er?"

Jiang Nian asked.

Tian Mai said, "Xiu'er was supposed to be here tonight. Teacher Ji came here early today. Old Kuang sent Xiu'er to Xiuzhuang. She is doing great now. Teacher Ji told me that Xiu'er is painting better than before. She plans to take Xiu'er to Dongshi in winter to see the snow scene there. This way, she will have pictures in her mind when she paints."

Jiang Nian was also happy for Kuang Xiu.

After having dinner at Tian Mai's house, Jiang Nian went back. Lu Yu still didn't come back that night. Yue Qiao came to look for her early the next morning. Then she realized that not only Lu Yu didn't come back, but also Battalion Commander Lei, Battalion Commander Fang, and Deputy Commander Kuang.

Lu Yu walked for ten consecutive days and didn't come back until the evening of the eleventh day.

Jiang Nian was half asleep. When she turned over, she suddenly fell into a cool embrace. The man's hands were around her lower back, and her small vest was pushed up. Jiang Nian opened her eyes in a daze, looking at Lu Yu who was so close to her. It took her a while to react: "When did you come back?"

Lu Yu lingered at the crevice of her neck: "I just came back a while ago."

Jiang Nian raised her neck high, enduring Lu Yu's passionate kiss, and her deep sleepiness faded away. They had been separated for ten days, and there was no news from him during these ten days. Although she knew that Lu Yu had gone out on a mission, she still couldn't help worrying about him. Every night when she looked at the empty house, she would miss Lu Yu.

"Niannian"

Lu Yu picked up Jiang Nian and switched their positions.

He liked to see Jiang Nian's emotional eyes when she sat on him, and liked her biting her lower lip and calling his name.

The consequence of not seeing each other for ten days was that Jiang Nian had back pain the next day and could hardly get out of bed.

The next day, He Yue came home and saw Jiang Nian walking with her hands on her waist. She was stunned for a moment and then began to laugh.

Jiang Nian:...

She patted her lower back, coughed, and said, "I was just washing clothes and I'm tired of bending over."

He Yue had an "I understand" expression on her face, which made Jiang Nian blush, and she quickly changed the subject: "Is there something wrong?"

He Yue said seriously, "I'm here to bring you something." She gave both jars of pickled vegetables to Jiang Nian: "The child and I are leaving the day after tomorrow, and Lao Fang is leaving at the end of the month. I don't know when we will be apart again. Goodbye."

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you leaving together?"

He Yue said: "No, I will take Fang Xia and Fang Guo back first at the beginning of this semester, send them to school, clean up the house assigned there, and wait for Mr. Fang to come back at the end of the month."

The two have been neighbors for a year. He Yue is also a straightforward person. Jiang Nian gave He Yue a piece of good cloth and asked her to make clothes for the children.

On the day He Yue left, Jiang Nian, Guan Lu, Yue Qiao and Shu Xue saw her off together. The two children waved goodbye to them reluctantly. This was the first time that Jiang Nian saw off the military wives in the family building of the army in Yuan City.

On the way back, the security guard chased after him and shouted to Jiang Nian: "Comrade Jiang, there is a call for you and Captain Lu."

Jiang Nian turned around and asked: "Who is it?"

The security guard said: "The other party said it was from Huyang County Police Station."

Jiang Nian first thought of Captain Lu.
