Chapter 66

Jiang Nian felt the vibration of Lu Yu's chest. She didn't dare to tell the truth or tell Lu Yu her true origin. She whispered, "It's okay. I just suddenly thought of your elder brother."

Lu Yu didn't say anything else. He hugged her for a while before saying, "It's time to eat."

"Yeah."

Jiang Nian smiled and followed Lu Yu to the kitchen.

He made corn cakes and stir-fried vegetables in the evening, and steamed a bowl of egg custard for her. Jiang Nian was absent-minded during this meal. She was always thinking about what happened just now. It was fine when she came back last year, but why is it not right this year?

"Jiang Nian."

Lu Yu raised his eyes: "We will leave tomorrow."

Jiang Nian was stunned: "So soon?"

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Nian's bright eyes, and said "hmm": "Tomorrow morning we will go to pay tribute to Uncle Xu and Big Brother, and then go to see the old professor, and come back to pack up and leave."

Jiang Nian didn't expect time to be so fast. She said "oh" and lowered her head to eat egg custard with a heavy heart.

Her lips were a little broken, and it hurt a little when eating.

She pursed her lips, thinking about the panic in Lu Yu's eyes when she regained consciousness just now. This seemed to be the first time she saw him lose control in a year of getting along. Jiang Nian clenched the chopsticks, raised her head to look at Lu Yu, and suddenly met the man's eyes looking at her.

Then she quickly lowered her head.

Did Lu Yu notice something?

After all, her reaction just now was so abnormal that even she felt something was wrong.

After dinner, Jiang Nian washed up and went to bed early. She thought she would suffer from insomnia and toss and turn, but she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. She once again dreamed that she was back at home in the new century. She opened the door as usual, thinking that it would be the scene of her grandparents, parents calling her for dinner, but she saw another her sitting at the dining table, who looked exactly like her, wearing her clothes, and calling her relatives.

Jiang Nian was stunned and thought for a moment that this was herself.

"Grandpa, grandma,"

"Dad, Mom,"

Jiang Nian called out, but they didn't notice anything.

She frowned, thinking it was probably a dream, so she turned back to the room and found that the book that was originally placed on the bedside was gone. There were footsteps behind her, and Jiang Nian turned around and saw another 'Jiang Nian' coming over and standing only a few steps away from her.

'Jiang Nian' smiled slightly, with kindness in his eyes. Jiang

Nian's hand holding the door handle suddenly tightened, and he knew her identity almost instantly: "Are you...Xu Cheng's wife?"

'Jiang Nian' didn't say anything, walked past her into the room, and brought the trash can in front of her.

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and lowered her head. In the trash can was a pile of burnt paper. Some parts were not completely burned, and the words on them could be seen.

——She couldn't bear the humiliation and crashed into the wall.

This was a sentence that appeared at the beginning of the book. The handwriting that had disappeared once again clearly appeared in Jiang Nian's eyes. She suddenly clenched the paper and looked up at Jiang Nian opposite her. Jiang Nian was still smiling and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Jiang Nian just felt weird.

She thought of her abnormality that night. Could it be related to Jiang Nian's burning of this book?

So she asked, "When did you burn it?"

Jiang Nian handed her the phone and numbered seven on it.

That is to say, it was seven o'clock in the evening, which was exactly the same time as when she was spreading the mattress in Xu Cheng's room.

No wonder she suddenly felt dizzy at that time, and there was no explanation for her abnormal behavior afterwards, which was related to the burned book.

'Jiang Nian' typed a few words on her mobile phone again: Live well with Lu Yu.

At that moment, Jiang Nian's head suddenly hurt, and then she opened her eyes and shouted unconsciously: "Lu Yu——"

Lu Yu's low and powerful voice came from outside the house: "I'm just outside the door."

Jiang Nian breathed violently, looking at the beams above in a daze.

Is this a dream or reality?

Is her body in the new century occupied by 'Jiang Nian'? But when she bumped into the wall last time, she clearly saw that she was covered with a white cloth.

"Jiang Nian."

"Are you okay?"

Lu Yu's worried voice came from outside. Jiang Nian blinked, and her thoughts gradually came back to her mind. She stood up, put on her clothes and walked out. Looking at Lu Yu standing outside the house, her eyes were a little sore and swollen. She walked over and hugged Lu Yu, buried her head in his arms, listened to Lu Yu's trembling heartbeat, choked for a while, and then said: "I dreamed of her."

Lu Yu frowned slightly, hugged Jiang Nian tightly and said nothing.

Jiang Nian sniffed and added, "I dreamed of your elder brother."

Lu Yu said, "Let's go to worship elder brother tomorrow morning."

Jiang Nian hugged Lu Yu tightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you still awake?"

Lu Yu raised his hand and rubbed her head, "I couldn't sleep, so I sat in the yard."

He paused and continued, "It's still early now, you go back to sleep, call me if you have anything, I'll be outside."

Jiang Nian nodded gently, "Okay."

She went back to the house and lay down in the quilt. She slept until dawn the next day, and got up when she heard the sound of water outside. Thinking of what happened last night, it seemed like a real dream. Jiang Nian patted her face, put on her shoes, and went out to wash up. Lu Yu had already prepared breakfast. She sat on the bench and looked at Lu Yu with a smile: "Did you not sleep last night?"

Lu Yu brought the dishes to the table, looked at Jiang Nian's bright and beautiful eyes, and smiled: "I slept."

After breakfast, the two went to pay tribute to Xu Cheng and his son. When Jiang Nian got up and left, Lu Yu was still there. He said to Jiang Nian: "You go to the field and wait for me first, I'll be back later."

Jiang Nian nodded: "Okay."

She stood at the field for a while, kicking the ground with her toes. She heard footsteps behind her, turned around and saw Lu Yu patting the ground in his hands and walking towards them. She smiled and said: "Let's go see the old professor." Lu

Yu smiled and said: "Okay."

The two returned home and packed some corn cakes and some vegetables for the old professor. Lu Yu cut some meat yesterday and bought a bucket of malt extract and put it in a small cloth bag. It was snowing and everyone in the village stayed in the house to warm themselves by the fire. They took advantage of the few people to go to the old professor.

When passing by the educated youth site, Jiang Nian turned around and saw two male educated youth fetching water from the well and several female educated youth cooking in the stove room. It seemed that they were working together. When they arrived at the cowshed, the old professor was sitting in front of the stove and making a fire. His skinny hands were warming themselves by the stove and he rubbed his hands from time to time. He was wearing the cotton jacket that Jiang Nian gave him last year.

The old professor heard the footsteps behind him and turned his head. Just as he was about to turn his head back, he suddenly paused: "You are here?"

Jiang Nian ran over with a smile: "How was your last year?"

The old professor's face was full of smiles: "I am still the same as before." After that, he led the two into the cowshed. Although the inside was simple, it could at least keep out the cold.

Jiang Nian was talking to the old professor. Lu Yu put the small cloth bag on the pillow at the head of the old professor's bed. He saw a letter pressed on the pillow. The envelope was half exposed. Only the sender's surname was Xiang. Lu Yu sat on the bed made of wooden boards and watched Jiang Nian talking to the old professor with sparkling eyes. They were all talking about how they were doing this year.

She spoke very quickly, for fear that he would interrupt her.

Lu Yu could see that every time Jiang Nian came to the old professor, he would start talking.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Old comrade, I don't even know your last name yet?"

The old professor smiled kindly, "My last name is Ling and my given name is Zhiyuan."

Lu Yu looked at the old professor and asked, "Comrade Ling, do you know a man named Xiang Shizhou?"

The old professor was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the pillow. Half of the envelope was exposed, with only the word "Xiang" on it. He pursed his lips and hesitated before saying, "I know him. He was a student I taught for a while.

" After reading it, he turned to Lu Yu: "Do you know each other?"

Lu Yu said: "We worked together for half a year."

The old professor's eyes were a little hot, his lips moved, and after a while he asked: "How is he now?"

Since he was sent down here, Xiang Shizhou would write him a letter every year and send him a lot of food. He only taught him for three months, but this child missed him for so many years. Every year, the letter he sent back only had a few words, asking him to take care of himself. Lu

Yu said: "He is very good." He

didn't say much.

The old professor didn't ask more questions either. Sometimes, it's best to stop at the right time.

Jiang Nian was afraid that Lu Yu would ask the old professor about their past, so she waited until they stopped talking before she started talking again. When they were almost done talking, they said goodbye and left. Jiang Nian said, "I'll come back to see you next year."

The old professor smiled and said, "Okay, drive slowly on your way."

On the way back, Lu Yu looked at Jiang Nian's face, which was a little red from the cold, and couldn't help rubbing her cheek: "Every time you come here, you like to talk more."

The man looked at her and smiled, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Jiang Nian coughed twice: "I felt that I got along well with the old professor, so I talked a few more words."

Lu Yu chuckled: "Yeah."

After returning home, the two packed their things together. Lu Yu went to the kitchen to cook. Jiang Nian folded up the bedding and wrapped it with a sheet. After cleaning up this room, he was about to enter Xu Cheng's room when Lu Yu called him: "Don't go in."

Jiang Nian was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Lu Yu said: "Come and help me light a fire."

"Okay."

Jiang Nian turned around and ran to the kitchen, sat in front of the stove to light a fire and warm himself by the fire. His legs were warmed by the roasting and felt much warmer.

After dinner, Lu Yu washed the dishes. Seeing Jiang Nian going to Xu Cheng's room to clean up, he frowned and said, "Go tell Aunt Zhao and the others that we are leaving. I will go to clean up." Then he

went straight to Xu Cheng's room.

Jiang Nian said, "I will be back soon."

Hearing the footsteps going away, Lu Yu quickly put the bedding in the corner and wrapped it with a sheet. When he picked up his bag and walked out, he looked back at the clean and tidy room. After what happened to Jiang Nian last night, he didn't dare to let her step into Xu Cheng's room again.

He was afraid that the Jiang Nian in front of him would disappear...

Lu Yu took Jiang Nian's small cloth bag and walked out of the yard. When he locked the door, a passerby asked, "Lu Laoer, are you leaving so soon?"

Lu Yu said, "The holiday is almost here."

When Jiang Nian came out from Aunt Zhao's house next door, she saw Lu Yu waiting at the door with a bag. She trotted over, her bangs were blown by the wind, and her nose tip was frozen red. She exhaled white air while speaking: "Have you taken all the things?"

"I have."

Lu Yu handed her the scarf, and Jiang Nian took the scarf and put it on. When the two left the village, Jiang Nian glanced in the direction of the Jiang family. Lu Yu was anxious. There was no chance to go to the Jiang family to ask for money today. When she comes back next year, she will go to anger the Jiang family again.

The two hurried to the city to have a meal, and then got on the train.

Lu Yu bought two berths. It was dark when the train started. Jiang Nian fell asleep as soon as she got on the train. She woke up twice in the middle of the night and saw Lu Yu sitting next to her to protect her. The berth of Jiang Nian was a middle-aged woman. Seeing Lu Yu protecting Jiang Nian like a baby, she whispered: "Comrade, you are really good to your wife."

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and smiled: "It should be."

The train arrived the next morning. Jiang Nian was sleeping soundly. Lu Yu leaned over and gently pushed Jiang Nian's shoulder: "Let's go."

"Oh."

Jiang Nian opened her eyes sleepily and was led off the train by Lu Yu. She slept soundly all the way. When they arrived in the city, Jiang Nian said, "I want to go to the state-owned embroidery house. We are moving to the original city. I can't do the embroidery here anymore. Go and tell Director Wang and the others."

Lu Yu nodded: "Okay."

They went to the embroidery house. Lu Yu was waiting outside. Jiang Nian opened the door. After entering, Zhang Xiao ran over to Jiang Nian as soon as he saw her: "Jiang Jie, when did you come back?"

Jiang Nian smiled and said: "Just came back."

Zhai Peipei and Lu Xiaojing heard the voice and came out from the partition: "Are you done now? Can we embroider the pattern?"

Lu Xiaojing said: "It just so happens that I don't understand a needle method, can you help me with it?"

Jiang Nian smiled and said: "Okay."

She walked into the compartment to teach Lu Xiaojing acupuncture, and talked with Zhai Peipei and Zhang Xiao. During the casual conversation, Zhang Xiao just knew that Jiang Nian was going to move to Yuan City. She was stunned for a while before reacting, and her eyes suddenly turned red: "Jiang Jie, I can't bear to leave you."

Zhang Xiao sniffed, she thought that after moving to the family compound in a while, she would be able to see Jiang Jie every day.

Lu Xiaojing was also stunned for a moment: "When you say you're leaving, I feel really reluctant to let you go."

Zhai Peipei smiled: "It's good to go to Yuan City, Director Ge is now in Yuan City, you can still work under her when you go there."

Everyone knew that it was much better to be with Ge Mei than with Peng Yin.

Zhang Xiao leaned on Jiang Nian's shoulder: "Jiang Jie, when are you leaving?"

Jiang Nian shook her head: "I don't know, but it should be in the next few days."

She stretched out her hand and pinched Zhang Xiao's face: "You are almost a mother, why are you still crying?"

Zhang Xiao lowered her head: "I can't bear

to leave you." Zhai Peipei and Lu Xiaojing were also reluctant to leave, but Deputy Tuan Lu was going to be transferred to Yuan City, and Jiang Nian had to go with him, otherwise she would stay here alone, what if something happened again?

Peng Yin went to the embroidery shop and came back with Director Wang. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jiang Nian coming. Director Wang was about to tell Jiang Nian about the new embroidery, but she heard Jiang Nian suddenly mention that she was leaving.

Director Wang was stunned: "What?"

Peng Yin was also stunned, staring at Jiang Nian with wide eyes.

Jiang Nian explained, "My brother-in-law has been transferred to the original city, and I have to go with him." Seeing Director Wang's frown, she said embarrassedly, "Director Wang, I'm sorry, I can't embroider for the embroidery house in the future."

Director Wang:? ! !

Peng Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, at least Jiang Nian's departure had nothing to do with her.

Director Wang looked at Jiang Nian: "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Jiang Nian shook his head firmly: "Sorry, I have to leave with my brother-in-law."

Director Wang: ...

He is still hoping that the embroidery house's profits will turn around and go up this year.

Zhai Peipei and Lu Xiaojing didn't say anything. The two watched in the cubicle. Zhang Xiao touched her belly and was not in a good mood.

Director Wang left dejectedly, and Peng Yin didn't say anything else. Jiang Nian said hello to Zhang Xiao and the others and left. Lu Yu was waiting outside. When he saw Jiang Nian come out, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Are you done?"

Jiang Nian nodded: "Yeah."

Far away from Xiuzhuang, Lu Yu took Jiang Nian's hand and pinched Jiang Nian's soft fingers: "We will leave in two days. I will go to the regiment to make the handover in the next two days."

"Okay."

The two caught the morning bus and waited to arrive at the troops at noon.

Lu Yu put the gift at her house, pumped two buckets of water from the well and carried them to the kitchen, and said to Jiang Nian: "I'll go to the group first and come back later."

Jiang Nian tied an apron, took out the frozen meat, smiled and said: "I'll make you noodles with mixed sauce, you can come back and eat later."

Lu Yu said: "Okay."

He walked to the door of the kitchen, glanced at Jiang Nian standing in front of the chopping board, suddenly stepped over to hug Jiang Nian's slender waist and kissed her lips heavily.

"Hmm..."

Jiang Nian's eyes widened, the healed wound on her lips felt wet, and the hand holding the knife froze in mid-air.

Lu Yu pinched the soft flesh on Jiang Nian's waist, kissed her neck again, and said hoarsely, "I'll be back later."

Lu Yu's breath was stripped away in an instant, and Jiang Nian came back to her senses. She turned around and saw Lu Yu walking out of the house in a decent manner. His tall and straight back didn't look as gentle to her as before. He looked almost the same as when she first met him.

Jiang Nian: ...

She turned her head and continued to cut the meat, with a smile in her bright eyes. She licked the wound on her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, which was a little painful.

This wound was bitten by Lu Yu when he was at Xu's house.

Lu Yu should have noticed her abnormal behavior that night, but he didn't know if he believed her excuse. After all, traveling through a book was too unbelievable. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed it. Lu Yu

came back as soon as Jiang Nian finished lunch, and left in a hurry after lunch.

She packed all the things in the house into a big backpack, sorted and packed the clothes she had made this year, and when she was almost done, she took out the food from the small cloth bag and went to Xu Yan's house. It was dark at this time, Xu Yan was cooking in the kitchen, and Liu Jianye was sitting in front of the stove, lighting a fire. Seeing Jiang Nian coming over, Liu Jianye called out, "Aunt Jiang."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang has brought you some food."

Liu Jianye smiled, and Liu Jianwu heard the voice and ran in from the yard: "Auntie Jiang, I want to eat delicious food."

Xu Yan patted his head: "You are the greediest."

Jiang Nian brought a bucket of maltose, a pound of sugar, three cans of pickled vegetables and some wild mushrooms: "Except for the maltose, the rest are what Sister Feng asked me to bring back for you. She asked you to take good care of the two children at home."

Xu Yan's eyes turned red and she burst into tears. She wiped her tears. Tears fell from her eyes: "Thank you."

Jiang Nian smiled and said: "What do you have to thank me for?"

Xu Yan was mixing cornmeal and rolling noodles for the two children in the evening. She said to Liu Jianye: "Put the food away and don't let Jianwu eat it all at once."

Liu Jianye nodded: "Okay."

After Liu Jianye left, Xu Yan whispered: "During the few days you were away, something happened in the Tang family. There was a lot of noise in the family compound."

Jiang Nian didn't expect things to be so noisy. Although it was not so fast, she still asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Xu Yan said: "Tang Ze got divorced, and took the initiative to apply for transfer to other places for training." After that, she frowned: "Everyone in the family courtyard is wondering, the two have always had a good relationship, and Sun Ying is still pregnant with the Tang family's child. How come Tang Ze doesn't even recognize the child? This divorce is particularly clean."

Jiang Nian thought: Your child is Wu Youshan's, and Tang Ze has a green grassland above his head.

She seemed to have just learned the news: "So many things happened."

Xu Yan continued, "Captain Tang's mother came to our family compound to cause trouble the day before yesterday. She wanted to find Captain Tang, but Captain Tang left early in the morning. The old lady was angry and had no place to vent, so

she went to Captain Tang's house to make trouble. Sister-in-law Chen almost had a fight with her mother-in-law, and in the end it was Captain Tang who sent her back home before everything was settled." She also heard what Chen Fang said at Tang Ze's house that night.

Because the Tang family had always been supporting the Chen family, Captain Tang's mother had always been bossing around Chen Fangyi until Tang Ze married Sun Ying, the daughter of a director. Captain Tang's mother was so happy, but before she could be happy for long, Tang Ze divorced his wife. Sun Ying left, and Tang Ze also ran away. The old lady came here to get nothing, so she took out all her anger on Chen Fangyi.

After returning from Xu Yan's house, Jiang Nian went back to the kitchen to cook.

I baked pancakes and fried two dishes in the evening. There were footsteps outside the yard. Jiang Nian turned around and saw that not only Lu Yu came back, but Song Bai and Zhu Jun also came. As soon as Zhu Jun entered the door, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to eat again."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I'll cook two more dishes."

There was some smoke in the kitchen. Jiang Nian bent down with a spatula to cook. The fragrant smell overflowed from the window. I heard Zhu Jun say that the food here was much more fragrant than that in the cafeteria. Lu Yu and Song Bai washed their hands by the well, and they went into the kitchen one after the other to serve the meal. Zhu Jun moved the table into the house.

Lu Yu went out with the scallion pancakes, and Song Bai came out with two plates of dishes. She stopped suddenly, looked at Jiang Nian's snow-white profile, and whispered, "Sister-in-law."

Jiang Nian added water to the pot to make egg drop soup. Hearing this, she turned to look at Song Bai: "What's wrong?"

Her eyes were bright, and Song Bai's handsome face was reflected in her pupils. Song Bai pursed her thin lips for a moment, and smiled, "The rice cooked by sister-in-law is delicious."

Jiang Nian couldn't help laughing, "If it's delicious, eat more."

She beat the egg drop soup and served everyone a bowl.

Several people were eating in Lu Yu's room. Jiang Nian felt full after just a few bites. Lu Yu raised his head and looked at her: "Do you want to eat more?"

Jiang Nian shook her head: "I'm full."

Song Bai said: "Sister-in-law, it's better for you to eat more and gain some weight, so that your body will be stronger."

Zhu Jun agreed: "Deputy Captain Song is right, it's a blessing to eat fat."

Jiang Nian:...

She doesn't want to be fat.

After dinner, Zhu Jun and the others took the dishes to the kitchen, and Lu Yu went to wash the dishes. Seeing Song Bai was going to sweep the floor, Zhu Jun picked up the broom first: "Deputy Captain Song, let me sweep the floor, otherwise I'm too idle."

Song Bai:...

After Lu Yu washed the pots and bowls, he boiled some hot water for Jiang Nian and brought it into the house. There was a brazier burning in the house, so it was warm but not too cold. He glanced at Jiang Nian who was sitting on the bed: "I'm going back to the dormitory."

Jiang Nian nodded gently: "Okay."

"Come out and lock the door."

Lu Yu stood at the door of the house, and when Jiang Nian came in, he held her neck and kissed her on the lips: "I'm leaving."

Jiang Nian's face suddenly turned red, and she felt that Lu Yu really kissed her whenever he got the chance.

After seeing off Lu Yu and the others, Jiang Nian took a quick shower and went to bed. The next morning, she was awakened by the sound of water. She got dressed and went out. Lu Yu had already prepared breakfast. While eating, he said, "Tomorrow, several comrades will come to our house for dinner."

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and said, "Then I will prepare the ingredients today."

Lu Yu had to do handover work in the regiment these two days and had been busy. He left without stopping after dinner. She had just finished washing the pots and bowls when she heard the police soldier shouting at the door, "Comrade Jiang, there is a call for you."

The first person Jiang Nian thought of was Ge Mei.

She washed her hands and went with the police soldier. As soon as she picked up the phone, Ge Mei's voice came from the other side: "Jiang Nian, I heard from Sister Zhai that you are coming to Yuan City?"

Her voice was filled with a happy smile.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Well, Lu Yu is going to be transferred to Yuan City, and I'm going with him."

Ge Mei asked, "You two..." Thinking it was inconvenient to talk on the phone, she changed the subject, "When are you coming?"

Jiang Nian said, "The train the day after tomorrow."

Ge Mei paused and asked, "Jiang Nian, when you come to Yuan City this time, are you going to follow Lu Yu to his family compound or stay with me first?" Without waiting for Jiang Nian to reply, she added, "I think It would be better for you to live with me for the time being."

Jiang Nian understood Ge Mei's meaning belatedly. If she went to the family compound with Lu Yu, she could only be uncle and sister-in-law before the marriage certificate report came down, and then her marriage would inevitably be criticized. If she lived with Ge Mei first, and waited for Lu Yu's procedures to be completed, she could live in the family compound as Lu Yu's wife. This way, she would save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I understand."

After talking to Ge Mei for a few words, Jiang Nian hung up. She went to the vegetable market and the food market, bought a lot of things, and just walked to the gate of the unit, she saw a very unexpected person.

"Jiang Nian."

Sun Yuan walked towards Jiang Nian in thick clothes, a cotton hat and a scarf.

Jiang Nian was a little surprised: "How are you?"

Sun Yuan said: "I'm almost well, can we talk?"

Jiang Nian said: "Wait a minute."

She ran to the police station, put all her things in it, and said she would be back later. Then she went outside with Sun Yuan. The two walked along the bare roadside and unknowingly walked to the county town. Sun Yuan suggested having lunch at the state-owned hotel. Jiang Nian nodded: "Okay."

Sun Yuan chose a seat by the window, ordered two dishes, and looked at Jiang Nian: "The main reason I came to see you this time is to say thank you."

Jiang Nian took a sip of water: "I didn't do anything."

"No, you did a lot." Sun Yuan said with a grateful smile on her face: "If you hadn't opened that door, I might have died from excessive blood loss. If you hadn't said those words to me in the hospital, I would still be living in agony. Jiang Nian, I'm very glad to have met you."

Jiang Nian never explained the purpose of his words from beginning to end, but was just being polite to Sun Yuan.

The food was served, Sun Ying ate quietly, halfway through she looked at Jiang Nian: "Is there any grudge between you and Sun Ying?"

Jiang Nian paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and told her about the Yanyan curtains, without mentioning Lu Yu. Sun Yuan sneered: "She is just that kind of person, hoping that everyone will follow her wishes and treat her as a treasure. She was like this in the compound, and she is still like this after she got married."

Jiang Nian asked, "How is she now?"

The mockery on Sun Yuan's face was even stronger than before: "She was sent to another place by my father."

She hesitated for a moment, but still told the story of Sun Ying: "She had an affair with Wu Youshan before she got married, and married Captain Tang while pregnant with Wu Youshan's child. This matter could not be concealed. Captain Tang left after divorcing her. The Wu family did not recognize the child. Wu Youshan got angry with his family and left with Sun Ying. Now there are only Ding Hua and my father left in the family."

Sun Ying left, and it was Ding Hua's turn next.

Ding Hua had bullied her openly and secretly over the years, and she had to get back at all these accounts.

Sun Yuan said, "I was the one who told everyone about Sun Ying and Wu Youshan."

Jiang Nian said very little during the meal. He basically just listened to what Sun Yuan said. Sun Yuan said that her husband was sentenced, Sun Ying and Wu Youshan went to a place where no one knew them, and Ding Hua's position as a team leader in the factory was also affected. All of this was instigated by Sun Yuan.

Jiang Nian couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect Sun Yuan to be such a strong person.

She did so many things in just over 20 days.

The two walked out of the state-owned hotel, and Sun Yuan smiled and said, "Jiang Nian, can I come to see you in the future?"

Jiang Nian looked at Sun Yuan with a faint smile on his face: "I'm leaving, and I may not come here in the future."

"Is that so."

Sun Yuan's face showed a bit of loneliness, and then she smiled and said, "Then we'll see each other again if we're lucky."

Jiang Nian nodded, curved her lips and smiled, "See you again if we're lucky."

She left the state-owned hotel and was about to reach the army when she heard quick footsteps behind her. Jiang Nian was startled, and before she could turn around, her wrist was tightened, and her body was forced to turn around and threw into a strong embrace. The man's chest was as hard as iron, and it made Jiang Nian's nose sore and painful.

"Where have you been?"

Lu Yu's voice came from above her head. The man's hand clasped her lower back tightly, almost embedding her into her hip joints.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had forgotten to tell Lu Yu that she had gone out with Sun Yuan.

She raised her head and looked at Lu Yu. Seeing the veins on his neck tense, she knew he was anxious and whispered, "Sun Yuan came to the army to find me. She and I went to the state-owned hotel. She thanked me for sending her to the hospital last time."

Hearing Sun Yuan's name, Lu Yu frowned slightly. He didn't ask about her and just said, "Let's go back."

He also went back at noon and didn't see Jiang Nian, so he went to the police station to ask. The policeman only knew that she had left with a woman and hadn't come back until this point, so he couldn't help but start to worry.

At this moment, people passed by on the street. Lu Yu reluctantly let go of Jiang Nian and rubbed her head: "Next time, remember to tell the police where you are going."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Okay."

They returned to the army. When passing by the police station, Lu Yu took back all the things Jiang Nian bought. Jiang Nian asked, "Have you not eaten yet?"

Lu Yu said, "I'm just dealing with a few people. I have to go to the regiment later. I will be done with my work tonight."

Although Lu Yu said he was dealing with a few people, Jiang Nian still didn't want to join in. She ate the noodles she made for him and left after dinner. Lu Yu's comrades would come over for lunch tomorrow at noon, so Jiang Nian packed up the things in advance and Lu Yu didn't come back until it was dark.

Jiang Nian warmed up the bowl of dinner and put it in the pot. She went back to the house and waited for more than an hour but still didn't see Lu Yu come back, so she got up

and went to the door of the regiment headquarters to check. It was fine during the day, but it was windy at night. Jiang Nian wrapped a red scarf around her neck and ran to the door of the regiment headquarters against the wind. Most of the soldiers inside had left, and only a few people came out. When they saw Jiang Nian, they asked, "Are you waiting for Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?"

Jiang Nian nodded gently, "Is he done with his work?"

The soldier said, "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu has been with the regiment commander all afternoon, and I haven't seen him."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you, I see."

After a few people left, Jiang Nian continued to wait outside.

The lights in the regiment were dim. Several people from the third regiment came out. One of them touched Song Bai's arm and said, "Hey, look, isn't that the sister-in-law of Deputy Regiment Commander Lu?"

Song Bai turned around and saw Jiang Nian standing alone outside the regiment. The cold wind blew on her, and her hair was flying. She stamped her feet, covered her mouth with her hands, and rubbed her hands with white air. She looked very cold.

Seeing Jiang Nian stretching her neck to look inside, Song Bai ran out quickly and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Jiang Nian shivered with the cold, and her little face was red from the cold. "Is Lu Yu done with his work?"

Song Bai said, "He is not here. He went to the battalion headquarters with the commander of the second regiment. It is estimated that he will be back later. Come on, I will take you back first."

"No, no."

Jiang Nian rubbed her hands: "You go and do your work. I'll go back first."

After that, she walked forward with her head down. She ran fast, but she could only push Song Bai one step with two steps. Song Bai unbuttoned his cotton coat and put it on Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian was shocked: "I'm not cold."

During the struggle, Song Bai held her shoulders and she couldn't move. Jiang Nian found that his strength was the same as Lu Yu. Once he used force, she would not even have the room to resist. Looking at Song Bai, she was shocked. Song Bai was wearing a thin sweater, Jiang Nian felt her eyelids twitching: "I'm not cold, put on your clothes."

Song Bai smiled and said: "Okay, sister-in-law, don't refuse me, your face is frozen into a red apple."

After that, he pressed Jiang Nian's shoulder and turned her over. Even through the thick clothes, the shoulder under his fingers was still thin and thin. Song Bai felt that Jiang Nian was petite and small. If she was his soldier, she would lie down in one move.

Seeing that Song Bai was determined to send her off, Jiang Nian really couldn't refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and put on Song Bai's clothes and run as fast as she could to get home, so as to return the clothes to him as soon as possible. She ran for a while and found that Song Bai followed her steadily, making her look like a turtle.

Jiang Nian: ...

It was dark and windy, and Jiang Nian's attention was distracted to Song Bai. For a moment, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and was hit by a small pit and fell to the side. Song Bai reached out to steady her. His bony fingers couldn't help but use some strength, and his voice was filled with laughter: "Sister-in-law, run slower."

Jiang Nian smiled awkwardly and shook her arms. Song Bai's eyes looked at Jiang Nian's misty eyelashes for a while, and the palm holding her arm suddenly couldn't bear to let go. Noticing the struggle in his palm, Song Bai took a deep breath, let go of her hand and said: "Sister-in-law, watch your steps, don't fall again."

Jiang Nian: ...

She didn't want to fall either.

If she falls flat on her face, she will lose all her face.

When she ran back to the door of her home, Jiang Nian handed the clothes to Song Bai. When Song Bai reached out to take it, his fingers accidentally touched Jiang Nian's cold fingers. A tingling and inexplicable throbbing went straight to his heart, and his chest was blocked and sour. He clenched his cotton coat tightly, watching Jiang Nian smile at him, his Adam's apple moved a few times, and he asked with a hot head: "Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about remarrying?"

Jiang Nian: ? ? ?

Seeing Jiang Nian stunned, Song Bai's face suddenly turned red, and he put on his coat neatly: "I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

He ran very fast, and in almost the blink of an eye, his back merged into the night.

Jiang Nian came to her senses, but she didn't understand what Song Bai meant. She went back to the house and warmed herself by the fire in front of the brazier. She washed herself up after she was warm. After washing up, she lay on the bed and looked at the dark beams. She thought about going to Yuan City and didn't fall asleep until midnight. Lu Yu didn't come back.

Jiang Nian was awakened by the sound of the horn the next day. She yawned and heard footsteps outside. She knew that Lu Yu had come back. She put on her clothes and ran out. Lu Yu was carrying water to the stove. When he saw Jiang Nian, a smile appeared on his cold and handsome face: "There is hot water in the thermos. Come over to eat after you wash up."

"Okay."

Jiang Nian washed up and went to the kitchen. The breakfast that Lu Yu ate was the one she had left for him last night. Her portion was freshly made by Lu Yu this morning, and there was also a bowl of steamed eggs. When Jiang Nian sat down to eat, she heard Lu Yu say, "You went to the regiment headquarters to see me last night?"

Jiang Nian took a sip of the hot porridge: "Yes, Song Bai said that you went to the battalion headquarters with the regiment commander."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, and his dark eyes fell on Jiang Nian's bright eyes: "Did he send you back last night?"

Jiang Nian nodded: "Yes."

"Eat more."

Lu Yu put some meat in her bowl and said, "The ones who came at noon today are the battalion commanders of the regiment, Zhu Jun and Song Bai, and Xu Yan and her family. I will help you make lunch after dinner."

Jiang Nian looked up at him: "Aren't you busy today?"

Lu Yu said: "No, I'm having a last gathering with my comrades today. We will take the 7 o'clock train tomorrow afternoon. We can arrive at five in the morning."

Speaking of Yuan City, Jiang Nian thought of what Ge Mei said, hesitated for a moment, and just when he didn't know how to start, he heard Lu Yu say: "When we get to Yuan City, you stay with Director Ge first. After I report, I will apply for the application report and apply for a family home. I will pick you up after all the procedures are completed."

Jiang Nian was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Yu and Ge Mei to think of the same thing.

Seeing the surprise in Jiang Nian's eyes, Lu Yu reached out and rubbed her head: "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and smiled: "Nothing."

She didn't eat much in the morning. She drank half a bowl of porridge and ate half a bowl of egg custard. In the end, all the leftovers went into Lu Yu's stomach. Lu Yu washed the pots and bowls, and Jiang Nian ran back to the house to pack all the washed clothes into a big bag, then went to Lu Yu's room and packed his clothes.

At noon, Xu Yan came to help. There were not enough tables and chairs at home, so Lu Yu moved the tables and chairs from Xu Yan and Captain Lu's homes. Jiang Nian cooked three tables of dishes and also made several kinds of pastries. At noon, voices and footsteps could be heard from outside the yard.

The first person to come in was Song Bai, wearing a military uniform and carrying a large bag of things.

Lu Yu placed the dishes on the table, looked at Song Bai carrying a pile of things, and frowned slightly. Jiang Nian came out of the kitchen and saw Song Bai put a pile of things on the table. He was stunned for a moment: "Why did you buy so many things?"

Song Bai looked at Jiang Nian's bright eyes, then looked at Lu Yu, and said to Jiang Nian: "I want to talk to Lu Yu."

Lu Yu's dark eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he almost guessed what Song Bai was going to say.
