Chapter 112

Xu Yan looked up at Zhu Jun. It was three months since she heard Liu Qiang's name again. She had a strange feeling.

No matter what she did now, the first person she thought of was Lu Guosheng.

Jiang Nian thought of what Lu Yu had said before that someone would report Liu Qiang. Could it be that Liu Qiang's accident was related to this incident?

So he asked curiously, "What happened to him?"

Zhu Jun said, "I heard from the deputy regiment commander that several people wrote letters to complain about Liu Qiang, saying that he had an affair with his comrade's sister and had a bad style." He paused, glanced at Xu Yan, and continued, "He didn't pay his family his salary. Most of it went to that woman. Liu Qiang has also abandoned his wife and children. The organization is still investigating his other affairs these days. We will decide how to punish him after all the investigations are completed."

Xu Yan frowned. Even though she had nothing to do with Liu Qiang now, she still felt angry and disgusted when she thought about it. She was hungry at home with her child, while others had two children but didn't have one. He lived a hard life of eating two meals a day and being hungry for one meal a day, but he used the money to support another woman.

Zhu Jun said, "Sister Xu, someone should come to you to ask about Liu Qiang in the next two days, just tell the truth."

Xu Yan sneered, "I will definitely tell you everything!"

Jiang Nian sighed.

She didn't expect Lu Yu to act so quickly. He caught Liu Qiang's handle in just one month. Not to mention what he could find out in the follow-up investigation, the two evidences of abandoning his wife and children and raising a woman outside were enough to expel him from the army. If he was found out about something else, he might even have to go to labor reform.

She was very curious now, what other shameful things did Liu Qiang do?

Jiang Nian and Xu Yan took the 6pm train and arrived at 7am the next morning. Lu Yu and Lu Guosheng were waiting at the entrance of the train station. Jiang Nian wanted to visit Xu Yan, but Lu Yu was unable to leave. Lu Guosheng took them on a bus to Huyang County. Lu Guosheng now lives in the city, and his family lives in a slightly more spacious tube-shaped building with three rooms and a living room. The corridor is where everyone cooks together.

The old lady has been following Lu Guosheng in taking care of Lu Zhijun for the past few years and has gotten used to staying here. With the old man taking care of everything at home, the family is not in a mess. The old lady lives in one room, the three children live in one room, and Lu Guosheng and Xu Yan live in one room. Xu Yan said that although the house is small, she feels at ease and she is willing to live with Lu Guosheng even if it is only one room.

When Jiang Nian came, she insisted on going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy milk, biscuits and candy. Lu Guosheng and Xu Yan couldn't persuade her, so they let her go. They lived on the third floor. When Jiang Nian climbed upstairs, she saw the old lady cooking in the corridor. She smiled and called out, "Auntie, I'm here."

The old lady heard the voice, swung the spatula in her hand and covered the pot, turned her head and looked over there. Seeing that it was Jiang Nian, she laughed out loud, "It's you. Oh, you're beautiful again after half a year. Yanyan, take Jiang Nian into the house and sit down. Guosheng, go buy a pound of pork head meat and I'll mix it for us."

Lu Guosheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

"Mom, I'll cook. You go into the house and take a rest."

Xu Yan went to take the spatula from the old lady, but was pushed away by the old lady: "You are not needed here. Take Jiang Nian into the house and get some hot water for the child. It must be tiring to come all the way here. You two take a rest first. The meal will be ready soon." The

old lady pushed Jiang Nian and Xu Yan into the house. Seeing the things Jiang Nian was carrying, she smiled and said: "You are just here, kid, but you bring so many things."

The three children in the house were sitting in the kitchen. The children were sitting at the table doing their homework. When Liu Jianye heard the old lady calling Jiang Nian's name, he jumped up, brought Liu Jianwu and Lu Zhijun over and called her Aunt Jiang. Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Hey."

After living with the two children for more than two years, it was the first time that Jiang Nian saw that their clothes were no longer patched and shabby, but clean and tidy, and their hair was cut short. Although Liu Jianye was still not talkative, he smiled more often than before.

Lu Zhijun called Aunt Jiang in a sweet voice. Jiang Nian found that this child had changed the most. He was a completely different person from the Lu Zhijun who was crying and crying under the tree a few years ago when Lu Guosheng held him. Lu Guosheng came back soon, carrying a pound of pork head and a roast chicken. The living room was not big, and the table was not big either, but the whole family squeezed on one table, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Jiang Nian left at three o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Guosheng sent her to the gate of the army, and Lu Yu was waiting outside to pick her up.

On the way back, Jiang Nian whispered, "Zhu Jun told me and Xu Yan that several people reported Liu Qiang and he is under investigation."

Lu Yu nodded, "Yeah."

Jiang Nian didn't say anything. After returning home, she threw herself into Lu Yu's arms and said, "Did you ask someone to write those letters of reporting?"

Lu Yu hugged Jiang Nian and rubbed her forehead with his nose. A smile appeared in his eyes, "No."

Jiang Nian understood immediately and nodded several times, "Yes, how could it be our Captain Lu."

Lu Yu laughed, held Jiang Nian's neck and kissed her lips, "Niannian."

"I missed you."

Jiang Nian hugged his neck and replied, "Me too."

.The

battalion commander Fang next door passed away, and a few days later a new military wife moved in. Jiang Nian didn't expect it to be Yu Liang. Yu Liang had applied for marriage a month ago and asked for seven days to go home to get married. He didn't bring his wife until the house of the family building was approved.

At the dinner at Yu Liang's house in the evening, Jiang Zhou, Lou Zhi and Chen Yao took turns to get Yu Liang drunk. There was no shortage of noise at night, and even Lu Yu drank two more glasses of wine.

A few days later, Jiang Nian received a letter from Zhang Xiao.

The letter said that Liu Qiang was expelled from the army and sent to the countryside. Because it was not convenient to call, she sent the letter and also sent one to Xu Yan. After reading the letter, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Who made Liu Qiang not cherish Xu Yan? He deserved to be sent to the countryside to suffer.

When it was the season for tilling the fields and planting vegetables, Lu Yu would go to the fields during his lunch break. Jiang Nian would prepare lunch and bring it to the fields. In her free time, she would embroider. This time the embroidery was not small, and she managed to finish it within three months. When the new director called her, Jiang Nian went to the embroidery shop. There were several senior leaders in the shop, including Ge Mei, the deputy director of the city. The overseas partner was a young woman, about the same age as Ge Mei. When she saw Jiang Nian, she was surprised that she was so young.

This time the partner sent a custom-made embroidery. Jiang Nian took a look at it. The size of the embroidery was very large, a horizontal painting, 1.5 meters by 90 meters. The embroidery was also very complicated. It was a big project. She was given a year to pick it up next year. This embroidery was a custom-made one that the partner was looking forward to, and the remuneration for the embroidery was also considerable.

Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment before accepting it. The director packed the embroidery and handed it to Jiang Nian. After the partners and leaders left, she called Ge Mei: "Sister Ge, let's take a walk."

Ge Mei said: "Okay."

The two walked on the streets of the city. Ge Mei bought two bottles of ice soda, handed one to Jiang Nian, and asked: "How are you doing recently?"

Jiang Nian said: "Pretty good."

She took a sip of ice soda, turned her head and looked at Ge Mei: "Sister Ge, how is your work arrangement going?"

Ge Mei said: "The approval should be coming soon. I estimate it will be around next month."

It was lunchtime. Ge Mei took Jiang Nian to the Red Star Hotel and chose a small compartment by the window. After ordering, she said "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Nian lowered her head and smiled, then turned to look at the passers-by: "I plan to take a break after finishing this embroidery, and I will embroider one picture every year in the future."

Ge Mei was stunned: "Can you tell me?" She said regretfully: "Your embroidery skills are one in a thousand. This is a pity."

Jiang Nian looked at Ge Mei and smiled: "I want to take care of my eyes. My eyes are not very comfortable from embroidery in recent years."

Ge Mei looked at Jiang Nian's bright and beautiful eyes. Her eyes were very lively, and her eyelashes were curled and thick. It would be a pity if these beautiful eyes were ruined because of embroidery, but things in the world have always been that you can't have your cake and eat it too. However, it would be good for Jiang Nian to balance the two.

After parting with Ge Mei, Jiang Nian went back and met Shu Xue who came to see her at the door of her house. Shu Xue was four months pregnant. Before, she was asked why she and Lu Yu didn't have a child. She said that she would plan to have a child in two years after she finished her embroidery work.

Seeing Shu Xue looked a little anxious, Jiang Nian frowned, subconsciously thinking that she had quarreled with Chen Yao, so he asked, "What happened?"

Shu Xue said, "On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative with Guan Lu this morning, her water broke. Deputy Head Luo took her to the county hospital, and Chen Yao went with her. I couldn't sit still at home, so I came to find you. I looked for you several times but you were not at home."

After that, he walked over and took Jiang Nian's hand, his face a little pale: "Sister Jiang, I saw Guan Lu screaming terribly when Deputy Head Luo took her away. Do you think giving birth must be very painful? I don't dare to give birth anymore."

Jiang Nian: ...

She had never given birth before, and couldn't imagine the pain, but she still comforted Shu Xue. After holding it in for a long time, she said, "Don't be afraid, you can give birth if you grit your teeth."

Shu Xue: ...

She didn't believe it would be so easy.

As they were talking, Yue Qiao's anxious voice came from the corridor: "Jiang Nian! Jiang Nian, are you home?"

She was shouting while running. She heard the voice before she even reached the door of her house. Captain Lei shouted anxiously: "Slow down, don't fall again. Oh, ancestor, can you not be so anxious?"

Jiang Nian couldn't help laughing when she heard it. She hurried to the stairs and ran into Yue Qiao who had climbed up with difficulty. Yue Qiao took a breath, with sweat on her forehead: "I've just come back... " I just heard from the military wives in our area that Guan Lu is about to give birth?"

Shu Xue said first: "Yes, her water broke and

she is in the county hospital now." Yue Qiao grabbed Jiang Nian and said: "Let's go and see Guan Lu. It's just right to see how she gave birth. When it's my turn to give birth, I will have experience and I won't be so scared."

Shu Xue said: "I will also learn from the experience."

Jiang Nian: ...

This is the first time she heard that there is a way to learn from the experience of watching children give birth.

Yue Qiao ran downstairs again with her big belly, bumping up and down. Captain Lei was about to collapse. He didn't know why he liked this lively and noisy young wife. Even with her big belly, she made him worry.

At the intersection of the regiment headquarters and the family building, they met Lu Yu and Gu Shizhou. Seeing the hurried appearance of several people, Lu Yu frowned and subconsciously approached Jiang Nian: "What happened?"

Before Jiang Nian could speak, Yue Qiao said first: "Guan Lu is about to give birth. Let's go to the hospital to see her and learn about the experience of giving birth."

Jiang Nian: ???

Why did you take her along?

She blinked and looked up to meet Lu Yu's smiling eyes. The man smiled and said: "Go slowly on the way."
