Chapter 67

"Deputy Regiment Commander Lu."

Battalion Commander Lu and Zhu Jun came over, along with several battalion commanders in the regiment, including Battalion Commander Lu's mother and Lu Zhijun. Lu Zhijun and Liu Jianwu went out to play, while Liu Jianye helped Xu Yan wipe the board, etc.

In the kitchen, Xu Yan whispered, "Jiang Nian, what do you think Deputy Colonel Song is going to say to Deputy Colonel Lu?"

Jiang Nian was also curious: "I don't know."

She turned her head to look outside, and unexpectedly met Song Bai's eyes. The man smiled at her, then turned back to talk to Captain Lu and the others. The man thought for a moment, and was suddenly startled, which scared Jiang Nian. She turned her head to look at Xu Yan: "What are you calling?"

Xu Yan blinked weakly, moved closer to Jiang Nian and whispered, "I... Why do I feel that Deputy Colonel Song's posture looks a bit like he's here to ask for a kiss."

Jiang Nian:???

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the marriage? Could it be that someone from the Third Regiment has a crush on Lu Yu and wants Deputy Regiment Song to come over and be a lobbyist?"

Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat almost as soon as these words came out.

Could it be that Song Bai really came here to mediate with Lu Yu?

The food was ready and put on the table, with women and children at one table and men at two tables. Because Lu Yu was leaving tomorrow, Zhu Jun brought three bottles of white wine when he came over. Everyone was going to the group in the afternoon. A few of them just drank to satisfy their cravings, and Lu Yu drank the rest.

Jiang Nian turned her head to look at Lu Yu, and saw that veins on his forehead were slightly protruding, and a few red bloodshot eyes were climbing in his dark pupils, as if he was drunk. Noticing her gaze, Lu Yu looked over here, and their eyes met in the air. Jiang Nian said worriedly: "Drink more hot water."

Lu Yu's eyes were filled with tenderness: "Okay."

Song Bai took the wine and drank it in one gulp. The spicy taste went straight into his lungs along his throat. He looked at the tenderness in Lu Yu's eyes, pursed his thin lips for a few minutes, and then looked at Jiang Nian. She lowered her head and talked to Xu Yan. It was unknown what she said, but there was a smile at the end of her curved eyebrows.

Song Bai took another sip of wine.

Captain Lu touched Song Bai's arm: "Drink less, you still have to go to the regiment in the afternoon."

Song Bai said: "It's okay."

The old lady picked up some food for Lu Zhijun, glanced at Jiang Nian and smiled: "You are 24 this year, right?"

She also heard it from others, it should be about the same.

Jiang Nian was a little surprised that the old lady suddenly mentioned this matter, thinking that she was also going to match her up like others, and the smile on her face unconsciously faded a little: "24."

The old lady smiled and said: "That's not young, if you meet the right one, you should think about yourself."

After that, she chatted with other people, and never mentioned that she would find a match for her. Jiang Nian smiled and said: "I remember what my aunt said, if I meet the right one, I will take it to heart."

The old lady smiled and chatted with Xu Yan next to her.

"Sister-in-law, after you left with Vice Colonel Lu, we won't have the blessing to eat such delicious food again."

Zhu Jun happily ate a mouthful of meat, cherishing the last meal.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "When we have a chance to meet again, I will cook for you again."

Hearing this, Zhu Jun slapped his thigh and said, "Then when Zhang Xiao and I have time, we will go to see you, and then we can eat the meal cooked by sister-in-law." After

lunch, everyone left, and Xu Yan and the old lady stayed to help Jiang Nian clean up the dishes.

"Lu Yu."

Song Baiying glanced at Jiang Nian in the stove room: "I want to tell you something."

Lu Yu put the stools together, his eyes were red, and he smelled of alcohol. He put the stools on the table and said to Song Baiying: "Let's talk outside."

So the two of them carried the table and stools out, first returning them to Xu Yan's house, and then to Captain Lu's house.

At this time, everyone went to the regiment, and occasionally passed by a few military wives on the road. Lu Yu and Song Baiying walked on the bare path. Song Baiying pulled his buttoned collar and said: "Lu Yu, does your sister-in-law have a partner?"

Lu Yu paused for a moment, looked at the road ahead with cold eyes and said nothing.

Song Baiyin seemed to smile: "It's unnecessary for me to ask."

The two walked to the training ground. Everyone was in the dormitory at this time, and there were not many people in the training ground. Song Baiyin rolled up his sleeves and looked at Lu Yu: "Practice?"

Lu Yu: "Okay."

He took off his coat and hung it on the pole, rolled up his sleeves, raised his brows, and looked at Song Baiyin opposite him. His drunken eyes were dark and bottomless like a cold pond.

The two men started fighting in the training ground, their moves were as fast as the wind, and their punches hit the flesh. This time, the fight was even more fierce than the night of New Year's Eve. They both wanted to suppress each other, and they were very ruthless in their moves. Zhu Jun and Captain Lu passed by the training ground. Captain Lu frowned and wanted to go up to stop the fight, but Zhu Jun stopped him: "They practiced as soon as they drank, and they were fine after practicing. Let's not go over."

Zhu Jun still remembers the punches he received on the night of New Year's Eve. He was in pain for several days.

Captain Lu: ...

This was the first time he heard that they practiced after drinking.

When they walked away, Lu Yu and Song Baiyin had also finished their fight. They sat on the training ground, their heads and faces covered with sweat. Lu Yu raised his hand to rub his short hair, stretched one leg straight, bent the other, put his elbow on his knee, looked at the group of people running on the training ground, and pursed his thin lips into a cold and hard line.

Song Baiyin took a breath, rubbed his face with both hands, and said straight to the point: "I want to marry Jiang Nian."

Lu Yu elbowed him, Song Baiyin turned his head to avoid it, raised his elbow to block it: "I know how you feel about my sister-in-law, but I don't want to give up just like that. Lu Yu, I don't care about anything, I just make do with everything, but this matter of Jiang Nian... I want to fight for it."

He stood up and looked down at Lu Yu: "Let's compete fairly."

Lu Yu smiled suddenly, but stopped smiling after a moment, stood up and met Song Bai's cold eyes, his low voice calm and strong: "Do you know what the first thing I will do when I go to Yuan City this time?"

Song Bai's eyebrows were wrinkled, vaguely guessing, but he didn't want to think about it.

Lu Yu faced the fact that Song Bai was unwilling to accept: "The first thing I have to do is to file a marriage application report." He said word by word: "I want to marry Jiang Nian, to marry her, she can only be my, Lu Yu's, wife. "

"Song Bai?"

The scarlet in Lu Yu's eyes was more than before: "Put your mind at rest."

After saying that, he raised his head and patted Song Bai's shoulder, then turned and left the training ground.

Song Bai's eyes followed Lu Yu's tall figure, and suddenly asked: "Does she know about this?"

Lu Yu paused: "Yes."

Slogans kept coming from the training ground, and the neat running sound covered Lu Yu's voice, but Song Bai still heard it clearly, and it was not until Lu Yu's figure disappeared from his sight that Song Bai came back to his senses.

He smiled, and there was bitterness in his scarlet eyes.

During the half year when Lu Yu was gone, Jiang Nian would ask about Lu Yu every time she saw him. When they were in the hospital, Lu Yu held her wrist and she didn't refuse. During the days in Dongshi, Lu Yu took care of her meticulously, which was completely beyond the boundaries of a brother-in-law.

Song Bai rubbed her face, and the scarlet under her eyes was hot.

After

the pots and bowls in the house were washed and put away, the old lady took their pots and bowls and led Lu Zhijun back first. Liu Jianye took the bowls and chopsticks and led Liu Jianwu back first. Xu Yan sat in the stove and talked to Jiang Nian.

There was a fire in the stove. Xu Yan warmed her hands and rubbed them on her legs.

She raised her head and looked at Jiang Nian who was standing in front of the chopping board and wiping the dishes, and asked: "What do you think of Deputy Tuan Song?"

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Xu Yan mentioned Deputy Tuan Song in such a good way, but still replied: "He's good."

Xu Yan smiled and said: "I think he's good too. Didn't Sister Feng always clamor to match you with Deputy Tuan Song? I think Deputy Tuan Song should be interested in you."

Jiang Nian: ???

She looked at Xu Yan in surprise, and said with a little laughter: "Don't make fun of me."

She didn't see it at all.

And even if Song Baiye was interested in her, she wouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts. She liked Lu Yu and wanted to marry him.

Xu Yan: ...

"Hey, just assume I didn't say anything."

Xu Yan used a fire hook to extinguish the sparks in the stove. Jiang Nian said, "Don't cover the fire. I'll boil some hot water for a bath later."

Xu Yan: "Okay."

Xu Yan sat for a while and then left. When she left, Jiang Nian packed a lot of vegetables for her, all from the cellar. Xu Yan's eyes were a little red: "You gave all the vegetables to me, you and Lu What does the deputy headmaster want to eat?"

Jiang Nian said with a smile, "After we go to Yuan City, Lu Yu will eat in the cafeteria. We will go to the state-owned embroidery shop, so these are not available. You can keep them and eat them slowly. Make more for the children, especially Jianye. Now is the time for him to grow up. Don't let the children down."

Xu Yan looked at the two large boxes full of dishes, and finally couldn't help hugging Jiang Nian, crying and unable to speak.

Liu Jianye heard Xu Yan's cry, walked to Jiang Nian's house, stood quietly by the well, and didn't dare to disturb them in the kitchen.

Jiang Nian's eyes were also red, and his eyelashes were wet. He patted Xu Yan's arm: "Don't cry, you'll make me cry too. Will you let me leave happily?"

Xu Yan wiped away her tears and sobbed for a few times before she calmed down: "You and Sister-in-law Feng are gone, and I'm the only one left. I can't bear to leave you."

Jiang Nian saw Liu Jianye standing by the well, and smiled: "You still have Jianye and Jianwu."

Xu Yan subconsciously glanced outside, and when she saw Liu Jianwu standing by the well, her tears stopped all of a sudden. She pinched her sleeve to wipe away the tears on her face, not wanting her son to see her crying. She said a few more words to Jiang Nian before carrying two full boxes of vegetables back.

It was tiring for her to carry the books by herself, so Liu Jianwu ran over to help her carry them. When he left, he said to Jiang Nian, "Aunt Jiang, thank you."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "You're welcome, Aunt Jiang."

After Xu Yan and the others left, Jiang Nian added some hot water to the pot, then went to Lu Yu's room to put the books on his cabinet into his bag. She heard footsteps outside, and Jiang Nian knew that Lu Yu had returned. She said, "Bring the big bag from my room over, and I'll put your books in."

"Wait a minute."

A low and deep voice came from outside the room, and the bright doorway was blocked by a tall and slender figure.

Jiang Nian turned her head subconsciously and saw a small bruise on Lu Yu's brow bone and a little blood at the corner of his mouth. She was shocked. Before she could come, she remembered to ask him how he got hurt, but Lu Yu pinched her waist and held her on the counter. The man squeezed her knees apart and held her waist tightly with his strong arms.

He made her hold him tightly.

The man inserted his big hand into Jiang Nian's hair, grabbed the back of her head and pressed it down, and pressed it roughly and firmly on her lips with impatience and madness. The smell of blood and alcohol from the corner of his mouth spread between their lips and teeth.

The teeth were broken, and Jiang Nian's breath was robbed at a very fast speed.

She wanted to push Lu Yu away and find a breath of freedom, but she was caught by the man and her hands were pinned behind her. She was forced to raise her neck and endure the rough, possessive madness.

"Um..."

Jiang Nian kicked her legs in the air. When she finally got free, she was frightened by Lu Yu's next move.

"You... Lu Yu..."

Jiang Nian's eyelashes kept trembling, her eyes were wet and pitiful, and she lowered her eyes wetly, looking at her neck, her short hair, her wrists were imprisoned and couldn't be freed, and the books on the table fell to the ground with the movement.

There was a slight "bang" sound.

Jiang Nian was so pitiful that she was about to cry. It was not until she heard the sobbing that Lu Yu's out-of-control reason gradually returned. He held Jiang Nian's soft waist tightly and bit her protruding soft flesh before reluctantly standing up.

Then, Jiang Nian's red eyes suddenly collided with Lu Yu's eyes without warning.

The man kissed her eyes, and then kissed her cheeks, nose tip, and lips. His voice was hoarse and powerful: "Sorry, I lost control."

The door was open, and Jiang Nian felt the cold wind blowing directly on her body.

She struggled with her wrists that were restrained by Lu Yu, and the words she said unconsciously carried a hint of begging for mercy.

"Let me go first?"

"Okay."

Lu Yu's voice was deeper than before. He let go of Jiang Nian's wrist, buttoned up her cotton coat, looked at her wet eyes, suppressed the roar in his blood, and hugged her tightly again.

"Jiang Nian."

Lu Yu took a deep breath at her neck: "I can't wait any longer."

I want to get married now.

I want to have her for real.

Jiang Nian sat awkwardly on the counter, her legs hanging unnaturally, her fingers curled up and pushed Lu Yu's strong chest. She tried her best but couldn't push him away. Instead, she was exhausted, so she said angrily: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yu went out and came back feeling a little weird.

He went out with Song Baiye. Could it be that he had an unpleasant quarrel with Song Baiye?

Thinking of the wound on his face, Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did you have a fight with Song Baiye?"

After she asked this question, she felt that Lu Yu's breathing became heavier, and his arms holding her waist also increased their strength. Jiang Nian felt that if Lu Yu's strength was stronger, her waist would be strangled to pieces.

The room was quiet for a long time before Lu Yu's low and hoarse voice was heard: "Yeah."

He drank a lot of wine at noon, and his body was stained with the smell of alcohol. Even Jiang Nian's mouth smelled of alcohol. She pursed her lips and asked, "Why are they fighting again?"

Could it be that these two people really did as Zhu Jun said and practiced as soon as they drank?

Lu Yu grabbed the collar of Jiang Nian's neck and pulled it out, sucking on the thin and smooth shoulders. Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She was so scared that she wanted to push Lu Yu, but the man let go first. Looking at the marks on Jiang Nian's shoulders, his dark eyes were covered with thick dark valleys: "We will leave tomorrow. Song Bai can't bear to let you go, so he came to me for practice before leaving."

Jiang Nian: ...

The way they said goodbye is really special.

Jiang Nian pushed Lu Yu's shoulders with both hands, her small waist leaned back, her eyelashes were wet from being bullied, and her voice was soft: "Let me go first, it will be bad if someone comes and sees it."

The more she pushed, the more Lu Yu was reluctant to let go.

Seeing Jiang Nian's face was so red that it could bleed, Lu Yu finally let her go, picked her up and put her on the ground. As soon as Jiang Nian's feet touched the ground, she slipped out from under Lu Yu's arms, picked up a few books scattered on the ground, hugged them in her arms and ran out. She

ran faster than a rabbit.

Lu Yu looked at the figure disappearing at the door, lowered his eyes and smiled, pinched the temples on both sides with his palms, and accidentally touched the injury on the brow bone with his fingertips, frowning in pain.

Song Baiyi had killed her this time.

The beating was not light.

Jiang Nian went back to the house to pack her things together and stayed in the house without going out.

She patted her blushing cheeks, closed the door, walked to the mirror hanging on the wall, opened her collar to look at her shoulders, and on her smooth skin, the purple marks were extremely eye-catching.

Jiang Nian:...

"Knock knock--"

"Jiang Nian."

Lu Yu's voice scared Jiang Nian. She quickly pulled up her collar and buttoned it. She grabbed the corner of the cabinet with both hands, her heart beating wildly: "What, what's wrong?"

Through the door, the man's voice was low and pleasant: "The bath water is ready, I brought it to you."

Jiang Nian swallowed, walked forward to open the door, and saw Lu Yu coming in with a bucket in one hand and a bathtub in the other. He put them on the ground and he After pouring the water into the basin, she glanced at Jiang Nian's flushed face, her eyes full of smiles: "Add some more firewood to the brazier, don't let it get cold."

Jiang Nian lowered her head: "Okay."

After Lu Yu left, Jiang Nian quickly locked the door. She quickly took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes. When she buttoned her clothes, she glanced at the marks on her shoulders. The unique aura of Lu Yu seemed to linger on his shoulders, and it couldn't be dissipated even after taking a shower.

Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, put on her clothes and walked out.

Lu Yu had already put all the things together. When he saw Jiang Nian coming out, he went to her room to pour out the bath water for her and cleaned the yard. He was busy until the evening. The two of them ate something casually. Lu Yu said, "I'm going back to the dormitory first. We'll leave tomorrow morning."

Jiang Nian said, "Okay."

She followed Lu Yu out. When they walked into the door, Lu Yu grabbed her neck and kissed her on the lips before turning around and leaving.

Jiang Nian closed the door, turned around and leaned against the cold door panel, raised her hand to touch her hot lips, and smiled.

She had just gone back to bed when there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Nian thought that Lu Yu had forgotten something, so when he ran out to open the door, he found that it was Chen Fang. He was stunned for a moment before shouting, "Sister-in-law Chen, why are you here?"

Chen Fang smiled and said, "I heard that you will follow Deputy Regiment Lu tomorrow. I just rushed back from my mother's house this afternoon. I came to see you before you left."

Jiang Nian was a little surprised, and turned aside to open the gate: "Sister-in-law Chen, come in and talk."

Chen Fang said, "Then I won't be polite."

When Chen Fang came in, Jiang Nian saw her Holding a bag of brown sugar and a can of malted milk in her hands, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, a little puzzled: "Sister Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Fang put the brown sugar and malted milk on the table and said with a smile: "I just heard from Old Tang that Deputy Regiment Lu will be transferred to Yuan City. Do you remember my sister I introduced to you last time, the one who helped me move things, her name is Chen Ping, you called her Sister Ping, do you remember?"

Jiang Nian recalled for a moment and remembered that day when Tang Ze and Sun Ying moved to the next yard.

There was indeed a person named Chen Ping, and Chen Fang introduced her to her at that time, saying that Chen Ping was her sister, a relative of the Yuan City Military District, who came here to visit relatives.

Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat. She thought no one there would know her and her relationship with Lu Yu, but she didn't expect that Chen Fang's sister would show up.

She pursed her lips, and the smile on her face was a little stiff: "Remember it."

Chen Fang smiled and said, "It's okay to remember it. I heard from my sister that there will be a new leader in her men's group. His surname is Lu. I guess it's your brother-in-law. When you go to Yuan City, you and my sister will be neighbors. We can take care of each other. You accept these two things. It is also a little thought from me and my sister."

These are the most taboos in this era, especially in the army, and it is even more forbidden to accept gifts privately.

Lu Yu had not taken office yet. If she accepted the gift, he might be accused of accepting bribes the next day. So she returned the gift to Chen Fang and said nice things: "Sister-in-law Chen, you are being too formal. I'm so happy to be neighbors with Sister-in-law Ping. How can I have the nerve to accept your gift?"

Seeing that Chen Fang was determined to give the gift, Jiang Nian deliberately put on a stern face: "Sister-in-law Chen, I really treat you as my own sister-in-law. If you do this to me by giving me gifts again, I will be really angry. You are being too formal to me."

After saying that, she was really unhappy.

Chen Fang really thought that Jiang Nian was angry because of the gift, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take this thing back. You treat me as your sister-in-law, so I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart. It was my fault for bringing you and Tang Ze together before. I was too impatient. However, in my opinion, Song Bai is a really good person. If you think it's okay, I'll help you get married." , we must not miss a good man when we meet him. "

Jiang Nian:...

She smiled and said, "Sister Chen, thank you for your kindness, I'm not in a hurry now."

Seeing that Chen Fang was going to say more, Jiang Nian continued, "It's getting late, I have to get up early tomorrow, and I'll have a good talk with Sister Chen when I have time."

Seeing that she said this, Chen Fang didn't know what to say, so she took the things and walked away.

While walking on the road, she couldn't help but look back at Jiang Nian's yard, and then looked down at the things in her hands. This bag of brown sugar and malt extract cost her a lot of money, but this money was given to her by her sister, asking her to help give it to Jiang Nian and make a familiar face with Jiang Nian in advance.

Chen Ping said that the new leader of her men's group is Lu Yu.

She had to go out and about in advance.

But she didn't expect Jiang Nian to be so reasonable, so she went back and told the old man Tang about it. The head of the group, Tang, was sitting on the kang and soaking his feet. After hearing what Chen Fang said, he snorted in his heart: What is reasonable? That was because Lu Yu's sister-in-law was smart and didn't give anyone a handle. Only she, a simple-minded wife, felt that others really treated her as their own sister-in-law.

However, he didn't tell Chen Fang about this, otherwise, with Chen Fang's temper, she would probably go to Lu Yu's sister-in-law to ask for clarification.

This would cause trouble again.

The

next morning, Jiang Nian got up early.

She thought she was early enough, but Lu Yu was even earlier. When she opened the door, she saw that he had already prepared breakfast and was walking towards the kitchen with a bucket of water. When he saw her coming out, a smile appeared on his face: "There's hot water in the thermos. Come and wash up and have dinner."

Jiang Nian thought of how Lu Yu almost lost control last night. Her eyelashes trembled for a moment, and she looked away awkwardly: "Okay."

She ran into the house with the thermos, washed up, and tied her hair into two braids before walking out.

They had breakfast in the kitchen. Lu Yu steamed a bowl of egg custard for her and picked up some food for her from time to time. Seeing that he was about to come, Jiang Nian anxiously raised her hand to cover the bowl. With food stuffed in her mouth, she shook her head repeatedly: "I've had enough."

Lu Yu was amused by her look.

The man reached out and rubbed her head: "Eat."

Jiang Nian: ...

She always felt that Lu Yu was not quite right last night and this morning. She lowered her head to drink half a bowl of soup, raised her head to glance at Lu Yu, and happened to meet the man's dark eyes. She choked and quickly lowered her head to eat. Lu Yu's low voice came from above her head: "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Nian coughed lightly, but still couldn't help asking: "What happened to you last night and today?" It looked a little abnormal.

She didn't dare to say the following sentence.

Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Nian's drooping head, with a smile on his lips: "I'm happy."

Jiang Nian was stunned: "Ah?"

Lu Yu: "We're getting married soon."

Jiang Nian's face flushed, she lowered her head and whispered "hmm".

After breakfast, Lu Yu washed the pots and bowls. Jiang Nian sat in front of the stove and warmed herself by the fire. She told Lu Yu about Chen Fang coming to see her last night: "According to Sister-in-law Chen, her sister's man should be someone in your group."

Lu Yu's eyebrows wrinkled slightly: "It's okay, don't worry about them."

Seeing Jiang Nian drooping her head, the man continued: "Even if they know, it's okay, wait for me." After we get married, we will still find a chance to come back."

Jiang Nian raised her head: "Come back?"

Lu Yu smiled: "Well, we will come back in another relationship and way."

Jiang Nian: ...

But then I thought, Lu Yu will not stay here in the future, and he will soon go to Yuan City to take up his post. Even if he comes back in the future, he is not afraid of what others say about them.

By that time, they will have left, and she and Lu Yu will not be able to hear what they say.

After finishing the work, Lu Yu carried the large and small bags, and Jiang Nian followed him quietly with her small cloth bag. Xu Yan and the two children came out to see them off, along with several military wives from the family compound, Lu Zhijun and his grandmother, and Captain Tang and his men. This time, it was Song Bai and Zhu Jun who drove them to the city.

A group of people sent Lu Yu and Jiang Nian outside the army. Xu Yan cried with red eyes. They were parting right in front of her eyes. All the reluctance suddenly surged into her heart, making her feel suffocated.

Liu Jianye also wiped his wet eyes and said, "Aunt Jiang, we will miss you."

Jiang Nian touched his head and whispered, "Aunt Jiang will come back to see you when she has time. You should spend more time with your mother."

Liu Jianye nodded, "I know."

"Sister-in-law, we are leaving."

Zhu Jun called out, and Jiang Nian said, "I am coming."

She also waved goodbye to Captain Tang and Chen Fang, then turned around and got into the car holding her small cloth bag. Lu Yu sat in the back, Zhu Jun sat in the co-pilot, and Song Bai was driving. Jiang Nian saw the bruises on Song Bai's face through the rearview mirror in the car. Jiang Nian

: ...

Well, it seems that Lu Yu went to practice with Song Bai yesterday afternoon.

It takes four hours to drive from here to the city. Jiang Nian leaned back in the car seat and felt sleepy. Occasionally, when she opened her eyes, she would meet Song Bai's eyes in the rearview mirror. After several glances, Jiang Nian's sleepiness disappeared. She always felt that there was something inexplicable in the way Song Bai looked at her. She suddenly remembered what Xu Yan said yesterday.

- I think Deputy Commander Song is interested in you.

Jiang Nian: ...

She must be crazy to take Xu Yan's words to heart.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yu leaned closer to her, his breath on Jiang Nian's forehead, which made her feel a little itchy.

Jiang Nian shook her head gently, looked up at Lu Yu and smiled, "It's okay."

The man didn't say anything else, just raised his eyes to scan the rearview mirror in front of him, and glanced at Song Baiying with a cold face. The car arrived at the train station in the city. Zhu Jun and Song Baiying personally sent Lu Yu and the others in. Lu Yu went to buy train tickets. Song Baiying glanced at Zhu Jun and said to Jiang Nian, "Sister-in-law, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment: "Okay."

Zhu Jun was waiting there, and she followed Song Baiying to the door of the ticket office of the train station. There were often people coming in and out outside, and there were only her and Song Baiying in the corner. The man was tall and slender, and he helped her block the wind vent.

She looked up at Song Baiying: "What's wrong?"

Song Baiying just looked at Jiang Nian quietly, looking at those bright and beautiful eyes, looking at that white and beautiful face, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his heart, and engrave her every frown and smile in his mind.

"Song Baiying."

Jiang Nian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "Are you distracted?"

Song Baiying came back to his senses and suddenly grabbed Jiang Nian's wrist that was about to be retracted. She was really as he thought, very thin, with very smooth skin. Her wrist was very slender, and he could hold it with half of his palm. For a moment, Song Baiying didn't want to let go after grabbing it. He wanted to take Jiang Nian away, the farther the better.

"You, Song Baiying, let go."

Jiang Nian frowned slightly, and struggled.

She couldn't help but use some strength, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree compared to Song Bai's.

Song Bai looked down at her and asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time: "Sister-in-law, do you have someone you like?"

Jiang Nian was a little surprised that Song Bai would suddenly ask this, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Song Bai leaned down and approached her: "Sister-in-law, answer me."

Jiang Nian finally came back to her senses. Xu Yan's words had been lingering in her heart. She nodded almost subconsciously and answered without hesitation: "Yes."

At that moment, Jiang Nian clearly felt that the hand holding her wrist had been stiff for a long time.

After a while, Song Baiying asked again, "Is it Lu Yu?"

He stared at Jiang Nian's eyes, not missing the surprise that flashed across Jiang Nian's eyes when he mentioned Lu Yu's name. Song Baiying hated his sharpness at this moment. If only he could play dumb a little. Song Baiying's Adam's apple

moved a few times, and he reluctantly let go of the thin wrist in his hand. He watched Jiang Nian take two steps back and said, "Sister-in-law, I wish you and Lu Yu all the best."

Jiang Nian pursed her lips and couldn't help curling her fingers.

He seemed to know everything.

When Lu Yu came over, Song Bai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and said, "Drive slowly, we're leaving."

Lu Yu nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Nian and Lu Yu waited in the waiting room for a while before getting on the train. They bought two berths. Jiang Nian sat in the train and looked out the bare window, absent-minded for a rare moment. Lu Yu just glanced at Jiang Nian and didn't ask much.

The train arrived the next morning. Jiang Nian yawned and followed Lu Yu off the train. When they got out of the train station, they heard someone shouting, "Captain Lu, Captain Lu, sister-in-law——"

The man's voice sounded familiar.

Lu Yu and Jiang Nian looked over and saw Chen Yao waving at them through the crowd. There was another man standing next to him, wearing a military uniform, with a straight posture and a cold and hard look on his relaxed brows. Jiang Nian remembered who he was at once.

It was the soldier who walked with an elderly man when she went to the hospital to see Lu Yu. The man even said thank you to her.

She didn't expect to meet Chen Yao and this man here.

Jiang Nian pursed her lips, not knowing what identity to use to face Chen Yao. Her hand was suddenly held, and the man's fingers squeezed through her fingers and interlocked theirs. Jiang Nian raised her head, and Lu Yu lowered his eyes to look at her: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

She smiled and said, "Okay."

They walked through the crowd. Chen Yao ran over happily. Just as he was about to call her sister-in-law, he suddenly saw Lu Yu and Jiang Nian holding hands. He was stunned for a while and didn't come back to his senses. Behind him, A man came over and nodded to Lu Yu and said, "Are you tired on the way?"

Lu Yu said, "No."

He held Jiang Nian's hand tightly and introduced them to each other, "This is my girlfriend, Jiang Nian."

Jiang Nian's heart beat violently for a few times, and even her breathing tightened a little unconsciously. This was the first time that Lu Yu introduced her to others as his girlfriend in front of outsiders. She always felt uncomfortable, as if the last layer of window paper covering her and Lu Yu was completely pierced.

Lu Yu seemed to see her nervousness and held her hand a little tighter. The palms of their hands were close together, and they were both soaked with a thin layer of sweat.

"Hello, my name is Gu Shizhou."

The man in military uniform nodded to Jiang Nian and kept his gaze on her for a few minutes. I wonder if he was surprised that she was Lu Yu's girlfriend.

However, he didn't say anything else, just a few words.

Jiang Nian nodded and chuckled as a response.

Chen Yao reacted and looked at the interlocked hands of Lu Yu and Jiang Nian again, trying to look normal: "Sister-in-law, I'm Chen Yao."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I remember you."

Chen Yao smiled and said to Lu Yu, "Captain Lu, the car is outside, let's go."

Lu Yu: "Okay."

Chen Yao took the bag from Lu Yu's hand and led them out of the fire. At the station, Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief and felt the tingling on the back of her hand. She looked up at Lu Yu and the man smiled: "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Nian shook her head: "Not bad."

It was just dawn, and Lu Yu suggested going to the state-owned hotel for breakfast first. As soon as they walked out of the train station, they met Ge Mei who was waiting outside. Ge Mei waved at Jiang Nian: "Jiang Nian, I'm here."

"Sister Ge--"

Jiang Nian shook off Lu Yu's hand and ran over. The two hugged each other after a long separation. Ge Mei said: "I knew you were on the train last night and arrived this morning. I really waited for you."

Jiang Nian smiled.

Several people went to the state-owned hotel to have breakfast. On the way, Lu Yu asked Chen Yao why he was in Yuan City. Chen Yao said that he was transferred here and he also came to report after the New Year. He was just promoted to battalion commander and was a soldier under Lu Yu. They were all from the third regiment. Ge Mei said that this was really fate.

From Lu Yu and Gu Shizhou's conversation, Jiang Nian learned that Gu Shizhou was the political commissar of the third regiment and was from the same regiment as Lu Yu.

The military vehicle stopped at the door of the Red Star Hotel. Several people chose a window seat. Jiang Nian and Ge Mei sat together, and Lu Yu sat next to Jiang Nian. The five of them ordered six dishes and a pot of soup. The dishes in this era were not small, and they were served in a large plate.

Lu Yu picked up food for Jiang Nian from time to time. Chen Yao glanced at him, then glanced again. Lu Yu glared at him. Chen Yao coughed and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, eat more."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Yeah."

Gu Shizhou's eyes lingered on Jiang Nian and Lu Yu for a few seconds and then retracted his gaze. Ge Mei and Jiang Nian were chatting about the embroidery house: "I have already applied for a dormitory for you. There are more people in the embroidery house here. There are five embroiderers and one counter. Including you, there are seven people, so there are two dormitories. You can eat in the canteen of the textile factory next door."

After that, he continued, "There are toilets for washing and brushing your teeth . I have already bought all the products for you, so you don't need to buy any more."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you

, Sister Ge." Ge Mei smiled, "I'm very happy that you can come here and continue to follow me."

Then she said to Lu Yu, "Captain Lu, don't worry, I will take good care of Jiang Nian and won't let the last thing happen again."

Lu Yu nodded, "Thank you."

He said this, but he still felt uneasy about Jiang Nian staying here alone. Fortunately, the military area was only more than an hour away from the city, which was much closer than there, and he could come to see her anytime.

Chen Yao asked curiously: "What happened before?"

Jiang Nian was still frightened when she thought of the last time, and her hand holding the chopsticks tightened a little. Lu Yu reached out and held her hand and squeezed it: "I live close to here, I can come to see you anytime."

Jiang Nian nodded gently: "Yeah."

Chen Yao: ...

He suddenly couldn't stand it.

Obviously, the two of them were uncle and sister-in-law before, how did they become targets in the blink of an eye?

Ge Mei briefly told the story of Hu Zhongming's family, and Chen Yao frowned repeatedly, and finally slammed the table angrily: "This man should be arrested!"

Jiang Nian and Ge Mei were shocked, and even the people at the neighboring tables were shocked.

Gu Shizhou frowned slightly: "Be quiet."

Chen Yao realized that he was indeed a little excited, so he quickly straightened his body.

Gu Shizhou lowered his head to eat, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Nian. Lu Yu noticed his gaze and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Ge Mei and Jiang Nian didn't eat much, and the food basically went into the stomachs of Lu Yu and the other three.

After dinner, Lu Yu and Gu Shizhou went out first and stood at the door of the Red Star Hotel. Lu Yu said, "Say whatever you want to say now."

Gu Shizhou asked, "Have you met his husband?"

Lu Yu said, "Yes, he is very nice."

There were more and more people on the street outside, and Gu Shizhou lowered his voice a lot: "Is the girl mentioned in the husband's letter your girlfriend?" When

Lu Yu said that his girlfriend was called Jiang Nian, he guessed it, but he was not sure.

Lu Yu nodded: "Yes."

Gu Shizhou's cold face showed a little more smile: "Tell your girlfriend for me to thank you."

The two stopped talking and waited for Jiang Nian and the others to come out. Chen Yao drove them to the gate of Xiuzhuang.

Lu Yu got out of the car and asked Ge Mei the address of the dormitory, then took Jiang Nian to look around, confirmed that the dormitory was located in the gathering place of the surrounding streets, and left with peace of mind.

"Lu Yu"

Jiang Nian called him.

As soon as Lu Yu turned around, he saw Jiang Nian throwing herself into his arms. He stood steadily without moving, hugged Jiang Nian tightly with his arms, kissed her hair, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I will apply for the marriage report when I get back. You just wait for me here. I just asked for Ge Mei's phone number. I will call you when I get back."

He talked for a long time, all of which were instructions to her.

Jiang Nian suddenly raised her head, raised her hands to hook Lu Yu's broad shoulders, and stood on tiptoes to kiss him, but she was too short and could only kiss the man's chin.

Lu Yu laughed, clasped Jiang Nian's neck with his big hands, lowered his head and took the initiative to find her lips.
