Chapter 69

Lu Yu looked at Ge Mei: "Boss Ge, let's have a simple meal together."

Ge Mei said: "Okay, I'll go get my bag."

Lu Yu opened the car door for Jiang Nian. The tall man leaned over slightly and looked at her beautiful eyes, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Get in the car." Jiang Nian

nodded gently, and got in the car with Ge Mei one after another. After Lu Yu drove away from the gate of Xiuzhuang, the few people standing outside gradually came back to their senses. The first one to react was Su Na. She touched Su Xue's arm and exclaimed: "I didn't expect Jiang Nian's partner to be the head of the group! If Jiang Nian marries him, she will be the head of the group's wife in the future. Then she will become the head of the group at such a young age, It will be great in the future."

Shu Xue nodded and said, "Jiang Nian is so lucky."

After she finished speaking, she looked meaningfully at Jia Yuan, who looked unhappy. Compared with Jia Yuan's position as a team leader in the factory, the position of team leader is a far cry from that of a team leader. Let's see if she will still show off in front of them in the future.

Yu Xia left with her lunch box. Dong Shu didn't say anything else. Jia Yuan glanced at Shu Xue and snorted coldly, "It's just a date. There's nothing to do yet. She hasn't said anything yet. Look how excited you are."

Then he left.

Shu Xue ignored her and went to the cafeteria with Suna.

The

car drove all the way to the Red Star Hotel. Lu Yu chose a seat by the window. He found that Jiang Nian usually preferred to sit by the window. The waiter came over and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Gu Shizhou said, "It depends on them."

Lu Yu said to Ge Mei and Jiang Nian, "We two are fine with anything. You two order."

Jiang Nian and Ge Mei ordered five dishes and a soup. While eating, Lu Yu picked up some dishes for Jiang Nian from time to time. Ge Mei glanced at him, lowered her head and smiled without saying anything, which made Jiang Nian feel embarrassed. He said in a low voice, "I've had enough."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Eat more."

He picked up another piece of meat for Jiang Nian and asked, "How have you been in Xiuzhuang recently?"

Jiang Nian said, "Very good."

Lu Yu's dark eyes glanced at Jiang Nian and Ge Mei's faces, which had just stiffened for a moment, and the tenderness between his brows faded a little. He said calmly, "It's fine."

Gu Shizhou also saw it, and raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Nian who was concentrating on eating.

Ge Mei noticed the change in Lu Yu's eyes and knew that this man was more sensitive than ordinary people, so she picked up the water cup and said, "Captain Lu, I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. Thank you for leaving Jiang Nian to me. I will take good care of her."

Lu Yu picked up the water cup and clinked it with Ge Mei, smiling at the corners of his lips: "Yeah."

After the man finished drinking, he put down the water cup and added some meat to Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian really couldn't eat it, and finally it all went into Lu Yu's stomach.

Jiang Nian: ...

She lowered her head to look at the empty bowl, raised her head and approached Lu Yu, and whispered: "Don't you mind?"

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Nian's moist red lips. If there were no outsiders around, he really wanted to kiss her.

The man coughed lightly, picked up the bowl and finished the last meal, and said, "I don't mind."

Not only did he not mind, he also liked her very much.

He liked Jiang Nian, the person in front of him.

After dinner, walking out of the Red Star Hotel, Lu Yu asked Ge Mei: "Director Ge, I wonder if Jiang Nian can take half a day off? I want to take her around Yuan City, and I happen to be resting today."

Ge Mei smiled and said, "No problem."

Gu Shizhou said, "I'll go back first, you and Jiang Nian go around Yuan City."

Lu Yu nodded: "Okay."

Gu Shizhou drove back home and sent Ge Mei back home. Lu Yu and Jiang Nian and Lu Yu asked, "Do you miss me?" The street was crowded with people. When Jiang Nian heard Lu Yu

ask this, her face suddenly turned red. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Yes." After

being separated from Lu Yu for half a month, Jiang Nian felt like a long time had passed.

She looked down at her toes, and suddenly felt a pulling force on her hand. She stumbled and bumped into the man's strong chest. Lu Yu's arms hugged Jiang Nian tightly for a moment before reluctantly letting go: "There is a telephone pole in front."

Jiang Nian turned her head to look. If Lu Yu hadn't pulled her over in time, she would have really bumped into it.

Jiang Nian: ...

Lu Yu laughed softly and held her hand tightly: "Let's go to the movies."

Jiang Nian nodded lightly and turned back: "Okay."

The cinema in Yuanshi is bigger, with a blackboard hanging outside. What movie is playing today will be written on it. Lu Yu bought the movie tickets and bought Jiang Nian chestnuts and soda. Then he led her into the cinema. The two sat in the back seats and could see the people in the front row at a glance.

The sound of the opening of the movie was so loud that it covered the noisy conversations below.

It was dim inside. She and Lu Yu were in the back again. Most people were sitting in front. There was no one sitting on either side of them. Lu Yu peeled some chestnuts and handed them to Jiang Nian: "Eat something."

Jiang Nian stuffed several chestnuts into her mouth and choked a little.

She took the soda handed to her by Lu Yu and took a sip, swallowed the chestnuts in her mouth, and then took another sip. Before she could swallow it, the back of her head suddenly felt heavy, her eyes went dark, and her lips were firmly blocked by Lu Yu's tongue. His long tongue drove straight in, breaking through the teeth that had not yet closed, and swept away the soda in Jiang Nian's mouth.

Jiang Nian's eyes widened in shock. There were quite a few people in the cinema, and she was really shocked when Lu Yu suddenly kissed her.

"Hmm..."

She reached out and tugged at the corner of Lu Yu's clothes. The man kissed the corner of her lips, and when someone turned around, he quickly let go of Jiang Nian. His slender fingers tightly grasped Jiang Nian's slender little hand, and his fingertips gently rubbed the back of her hand.

Jiang Nian's lips were moist, and she bit her lower lip lightly. Lu Yu's breath was between her lips and teeth, like an airtight wall tightly wrapped around her. She felt hot and powerful every time she breathed. Lu Yu's hoarse voice came to her ears: "Jiang Nian."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Nian raised her head and was unexpectedly caught in the man's dark eyes, which were filled with thick darkness. It was like a spider web that she couldn't escape from, binding her tightly and tightly. Jiang Nian's heart trembled, and her eyelashes, which were wet from Lu Yu's excitement, also fluttered several times.

The man's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and when no one was looking, he lowered his head and smote her again.

The hot breath of the fire spoon blew over, and Jiang Nian felt that her whole body trembled.

She leaned weakly in Lu Yu's arms. She had no idea what was going on in the movie. Her mind was a mess. She was led by Lu Yu until two more people came in outside the cinema. Lu Yu reluctantly let her go and pressed the back of her hand.

The fresh air filled her lungs. Jiang Nian's cheeks flushed. She panted slightly and sat back in her chair.

The movie was halfway through. The two people who came in sat next to Jiang Nian, with two stools between them.

Lu Yu peeled chestnuts for Jiang Nian and looked at her rosy lips. The darkness in his eyes deepened.

He whispered, "I have already submitted the marriage application report."

Jiang Nian raised her head and looked at Lu Yu with her wet and red eyes: "Will it be approved?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but kiss Jiang Nian on the eyelid when no one was looking at him: "Yes, it will be approved in a month at most. I have also applied for a family home. When all these are approved, you can stay at home to embroider and don't stay in Xiuzhuang anymore."

Although Jiang Nian didn't say anything at the Red Star Hotel today, Lu Yu didn't miss her every word and action.

Her experience in Xiuzhuang was not good.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Okay."

The movie was in full swing, and Jiang Nian had just focused on the movie when she suddenly heard the woman next to her mention Jia Yuan's name. She turned her head and took a look. She immediately found something wrong. There were two people sitting next to them, a man and a woman. The woman was a stranger, but she had seen the man before.

It was Jia Yuan's husband.

Jiang Nian had seen Jia Yuan, her husband, and her mother-in-law before when she was eating in the cafeteria.

The two held hands, leaning against each other, the woman leaning on the man's shoulder, saying, "Can't you stay with me for a while longer?"

The man said, "I'll take you to the Red Star Hotel for dinner in two days. There will be a new menu there, and I'll take you to eat something you've never eaten before."

The woman then smiled, "You can't lie to me."

Jiang Nian: ...

Although Jia Yuan is not a good person, this shouldn't be her punishment for being betrayed by her husband.

She pursed her lips, and didn't make any more noise. Her fingers suddenly tightened, and she heard Lu Yuhuo's hot breath in her ears: "What are you looking at?"

The magnetic voice filled her ears, making her feel numb.

Jiang Nian's body was numb, and the blush on her face just faded and reappeared. She shook her head gently: "I didn't see anything." She

said so, but Lu Yu's eyes still passed over Jiang Nian's head and glanced at the opposite side.

The man was wearing a dark blue work suit from the textile factory, and the woman was wearing her own clothes. According to his intuition, these two people should be workers in the textile factory, and Jiang Nian knew them. He lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Nian's smooth forehead, and the man held her fingers tightly: "Do you know that man?"

His voice was very low, and there was an unconscious coldness in his tone.

He was afraid that Jiang Nian would meet the second Hu Zhongming.

Jiang Nian didn't expect Lu Yu to guess it right away. The voice in the movie was quite loud at this moment. She lowered her voice and whispered in Lu Yu's ear: "I know him. He's the husband of an embroidery girl in the state-owned embroidery farm."

She stopped there and Lu Yu understood.

The hot air slowly entered his ears, and Lu Yu tensed up a little. He tilted his head slightly: "Don't worry about it, the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Jiang Nian nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Lu Yu continued: "It's not far from the military area to the city, just over an hour's journey. I now have one day off a week, and I will stay in the city for one day."

Jiang Nian smiled: "Yeah."

After watching the movie, everyone inside left one after another.

Jiang Nian was dragged out of the cinema by Lu Yu, and ran into Jia Yuan's husband and that woman outside. There was a distance of one person between the two, and they talked and acted secretly. Jiang Nian couldn't help but sigh: Men are really bad, eating in the pot and thinking about the bowl.

After complaining in her heart, she suddenly thought of Lu Yu next to her and looked up at him.

Lu Yu seemed to see her thoughts and rubbed her head with his hand: "Don't think of me with that kind of person."

Jiang Nian: ...

Sometimes she really doubted that Lu Yu could read her mind.

When they came out of the cinema, it was already dark. Lu Yu held Jiang Nian's hand and walked to the bridge. The night wind made them feel cold. Jiang Nian came out without a scarf and shivered from the cold. Lu Yu unbuttoned his coat, took off it and put it on Jiang Nian, covering her tightly.

Jiang Nian: ...

She said with a smile: "I'm wrapped up like a bear."

Lu Yu leaned down, held Jiang Nian's soft hips with his strong arms, and picked her up easily. This posture of holding a child made Jiang Nian feel awkward and embarrassed. She had no place to put her hands, so she could only put them on Lu Yu's shoulders. Her little face was flushed. The man's palm was on her lower back, and he smiled: "No matter how thick you are wearing, I can still hold you."

Jiang Nian: ...

She bit her lower lip lightly, avoiding Lu Yu's burning gaze, and felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The man carried her to the back of the stone statue at the corner of the downhill slope and placed her on the stone pole of the bridge. Behind them were the roaring waves. There was no focus. Jiang Nian was so scared that she hugged Lu Yu's neck tightly. Lu Yu laughed softly, and hugged Jiang Nian's soft waist with his strong arms, and pecked her lips: "I'm here, you won't fall."

Jiang Nian was still a little scared.

She hugged Lu Yu's neck tightly, fearing that she would fall if she leaned back.

Although, Lu Yu would not murder her.

Just as Jiang Nian was struggling, the man's big hands passed through her hair, clasped the back of her head, and pressed his lips firmly against hers, much crazier than in the cinema. Jiang Nian's breathing was difficult, and the root of her tongue was numb. She tightly grasped Lu Yu's thin raisin sweater with both hands, and her slender and petite body was protected in Lu Yu's tall body.

The man's dark eyes were covered with scarlet bloodshot, mixed with sticky dark urine.

Jiang Nian's teeth loosened, opened, and closed powerlessly until her breathing was almost gone. Lu Yu reluctantly let her go and kissed her wet eyelashes and her red nose.

"Jiang Nian."

"I can't wait any longer."

"I want to get married soon."

The man's deep voice continued one after another. Jiang Nian's ears were red, and her numb and swollen lips were tightly pursed, without saying a word.

She buried herself in Lu Yu's neck, greedily breathing the air that filled her lungs.

After leaving the bridge with Lu Yu, the blush on Jiang Nian's face finally faded a little. She glanced at the thin sweater on Lu Yu and asked, "Aren't you cold?"

Lu Yu said, "No."

But Jiang Nian felt cold just by looking at him.

Although it was spring, the temperature difference was still quite large at night. The palms of their hands were soaked with a thin layer of sweat as they held hands tightly. Lu Yu took her to the Red Star Hotel for dinner before sending her back to the dormitory. When they reached the downstairs of the dormitory, the man rubbed her head, took the sweater, and said, "I'll watch you go in."

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Yeah."

She turned around and ran downstairs. At the stairs, he saw Lu Yu still standing outside the dormitory building. He hesitated for a moment and then ran back. Looking at Jiang Nian's red nose, Lu Yu smiled

and said, "What's wrong?" Jiang Nian pursed her lips and whispered, "Bend down, I want to talk to you."

Lu Yu's eyebrows were slightly raised. As soon as he bent down, his cheek was touched by the wet lips. When he came back to his senses, Jiang Nian had already run away.

The man laughed softly, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of passionate smiles.

Jiang Nian ran back to the dormitory and knocked on the door. Shu Xue's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Jiang Nian."

The dormitory door opened quickly. Shu Xue and Suna saw Jiang Nian walk in. Her little face was red and her lips were red, which was a little unnatural. She looked very beautiful.

Su Na was an experienced person, she knew it at a glance, so she smiled a little ambiguously.

Jiang Nian felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and deliberately changed the subject to talk about something else. Shu Xue asked: "What did you do this afternoon? Did you go?"

Jiang Nian said: "I went to see a movie."

Shu Xue suddenly became interested: "Which military district's regiment commander is your partner? Is it from our Yuanshi Military District?"

Yuanshi is very big, and it is also a province. If it is the regiment commander here, it would be really amazing.

Don't look at her as an embroiderer in an embroidery village. Her grandmother can embroider, and her grandfather was a hero who carried a gun and fought against the Japanese when he was young, so she knows a little about these. If Jiang Nian's partner is the regiment commander of the Yuanshi Military District, she dare not think about her future.

Su Na also looked at Jiang Nian curiously.

Jiang Nian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yeah."

Shu Xue looked even more excited than she, the person involved: "Then when are you going to get married? I tell you, if you meet a man like this, we should grab him quickly and can't let him run away."

Jiang Nian: ...

She ran out with the enamel basin: "I'm going to wash up."

She ran to the bathroom and saw Yu Xia. Yu Xia had just finished washing up and looked at Jiang Nian with a evasive look. She didn't even say hello and turned around and ran away. She was the same age as Zhai Peipei, and the children in her family were probably older than Jiang Nian. She was slapped hard today, and she still valued this old face.

She couldn't continue to be laughed at.

Yu Xia ignored her. Jiang Nian took the initiative to say, "Sister Yu, are you done washing?"

Yu Xia: ...

"Yeah."

She ran away with the basin without even raising her head. After returning to the dormitory and closing the door, Dong Shu just lay down on the bed. It was rare to see Yu Xia's embarrassed face. She asked in confusion, "Sister Yu, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Xia shook her head and said, "I almost slipped when I was washing my face just now."

Dong Shu said, "You have to go slower. We are old. It's no small matter if we get hurt."

Yu Xia put the basin under the bed and crawled into the quilt. Thinking of Jiang Nian's target, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her old face was... She was so angry that she turned to Dong Shu and asked, "What do you think of Jiang Nian's partner?"

Dong Shu snorted, "They are just dating, and they haven't even started yet. Who knows if it will work out? I've seen Captain Lu, he's handsome and a captain. Maybe he'll get along with Jiang Nian first. Maybe they won't get along and break up. Look at Jiang Nian's temper, she's like a hedgehog, she's very unforgiving, who can stand her?"

After Dong Shu said this, Yu Xia felt a little better.

She thought of her daughter, who finally married a city guy, but the guy's family was found to have problems with their work style, and the whole family was sent to the countryside to work as farmers. Now they don't see each other for a year, and can only communicate through letters.

Her two sons have been living in the countryside, and they are all living well. But her daughter has caused her a lot of worry. She would buy some things for her daughter and mail them to her every month, fearing that she would be wronged there. She dared not tell her two daughters-in-law about this, fearing that they would make a fuss if they knew. Thinking

of her poor daughter and looking at Jiang Nian, Yu Xia felt very upset.

She looked at Dong Shu and asked, "How is your child?"

Dong Shu was half asleep at this time, and was startled by Yu Xia's sudden question. She turned over and said, "That's it." Then she continued to sleep.

The dormitory building was quiet. Jiang Nian returned to the dormitory with an enamel basin. Shu Xue and Suna were still talking to each other. When they saw her coming back, they pulled her to chat for a while before going to sleep. Jiang Nian tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Her mind was in a mess. As soon as she closed her eyes, all she could see was Lu Yu.

She knocked her head with her fist and fell asleep after a long time.

In the middle of the night, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the quiet dormitory. Shu Xue and Suna rubbed their eyes and turned over to see Jiang Nian rubbing the back of his head, getting up from the ground, patting his clothes, and going back to sleep under the quilt.

Suna:...

Shu Xue:...

Did he fall off the bed in his sleep?

The next morning, Shu Xue still remembered what happened last night and asked Jiang Nian about it. Jiang Nian lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I didn't notice it and it rolled down."

Suddenly, the dormitory was filled with the laughter of Shu Xue and Suna.

Jiang Nian: ...

The three of them went to the canteen of the textile factory to have breakfast. They chose a seat at the side. As they were talking, they heard a middle-aged woman's scolding voice from the opposite side: "Just eat, why are you talking so much? This is a textile factory, not home, you better behave yourself."

They were close to each other, so they could hear it.

Jiang Nian looked up and saw that the people sitting opposite were Jia Yuan and her mother-in-law. Jia Yuan kept her head down the whole time, and her fingers holding the chopsticks were so strong that they turned white. Her mother-in-law was sitting opposite, with a bossy look. If there was no one around, her mother-in-law's chopsticks would probably have poked Jia Yuan's forehead.

Behind them sat Fan Shan and her husband, talking in low voices. The smiles on their faces showed that they were very happy, which formed a sharp contrast with Jia Yuan.

Jiang Nian suddenly thought of a scene he saw in the cinema yesterday.

She whispered to Suna, "What's Jia Yuan's husband's name?"

Suna said, "His name is Tong Gang, and he's the team leader of Group 1 in the textile factory."

After Jia Yuan and her mother-in-law left, Suna whispered, "This family has a great relationship outside. The mother-in-law protects her daughter-in-law, and the husband loves his wife. Many people say that Jia Yuan married the right person, but that's not the case. I've seen Jia Yuan being pointed at and scolded by her mother-in-law several times, and she couldn't even raise her head. But Jia Yuan still brags in front of us, saying how good her life is at home."

Jiang Nian said nothing, and after dinner, she went to the embroidery village with them.

She took half a day off yesterday, but it didn't delay her embroidery work. She opened the door of the compartment and walked in. She saw Yu Xia and Dong Shu talking to each other. When they saw Jiang Nian coming in, they ignored each other. After what happened yesterday afternoon, Yu Xia didn't even pretend to be a good person anymore. Since she had exposed her cards, Jiang Nian was too lazy to play along with her.

She sat on the bench, looking at the embroidery that she had embroidered one-third of the way. If she embroidered faster, it would be finished in about twenty days.

Shu Xue said, "Jiang Nian, you are so fast."

Fan Shan happened to come over. When she heard Shu Xue's words, she looked down. She had only been focusing on embroidery these days and hadn't noticed Jiang Nian. She was also surprised when she saw it. Jiang Nian's embroidery was flawless in terms of stitches and needlework. There were some small flaws on the drawings, but they were covered up by her perfect work.

She even thought that Jiang Nian's embroidery skills were better than Sister Dong's.

But she couldn't say that. Sister Dong didn't like Jiang Nian in the first place. If she praised Jiang Nian in front of her again, she might be isolated by Sister Dong and the others. She just wanted to embroider in harmony in the embroidery shop and didn't want to do these clique-forming behaviors at all.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Not bad."

Dong Shu, who was sitting in front, said sarcastically, "What's the point of embroidering quickly? If you focus on speed and ignore details, it won't pass the test even if you embroider it."

From beginning to end, Dong Shu and Yu Xia didn't bother to look at Jiang Nian's embroidery. In their eyes, how could Jiang Nian, who was so young, have any skills? It was just a showpiece, good-looking but useless.

Shu Xue was so angry that she choked and wanted to retort but didn't know what to say.

Jiang Nian shook her head and said two words silently: "It's okay."

Jia Yuan was half an hour late and was bumped into by Ge Mei. Ge Mei just said a few words and then went in to look at the embroidery cloth and silk thread. In the afternoon, there were people coming to the embroidery house to look at the embroidery pictures. The leaders from above were all coming here. After a while, the city secretary would come down to inspect. Nothing could go wrong in the next few days.

Jia Yuan sat on the bench, absent-minded all day, even when Dong Shu and Fan Shan talked to her, she didn't respond.

Jiang Nian couldn't help wondering, could it be that Jia Yuan already knew about her husband's affair?

Jia Yuan was not in a good state these two days and was scolded by Ge Mei again. Jia Yuan completely exploded and argued with Ge Mei. Ge Mei's face turned cold and she said in a stern tone: "The city secretary will come to inspect the embroidery house and the textile factory in three days. Do you want our embroidery house to be criticized in the city or do you want to leave the embroidery house now?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Yuan immediately stopped.

Ge Mei's face was not very good: "Everyone is here to work in the embroidery shop. I hope everyone will have a positive attitude towards work, rather than a negative and lazy working state. I don't think any of you want to be criticized and punished when the city secretary comes to inspect the day after tomorrow."

After Ge Mei's words, Jia Yuan really became more positive today.

Not only Jia Yuan, Yu Xia and Dong Shu were also quieter and silent. When they went to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, Jiang Nian asked Su Na to help get some food, and she would embroider for a while and teach Shu Xue a new needlework.

After getting to know each other, Jiang Nian felt that Shu Xue's personality was more like Zhang Xiao.

Jiang Nianxiu didn't finish until the evening. On the way back home with Shu Xue, they met Jia Yuan who was walking to the dormitory. Jia Yuan glanced at Jiang Nian, snorted coldly, and walked past her to the stairs.

Jiang Nian: ...

She is seriously ill.

Shu Xue said, "Ignore her."

The two walked to the second floor. When they passed a dormitory at the entrance of the stairs, they saw Wu Youshan coming out. Wu Youshan

: ???

Jiang Nian: ???

Enemies meet on a narrow road?

Wu Youshan ignored Jiang Nian, closed the dormitory door and ran out. Jiang Nian returned to the dormitory and asked Suna, "Why did the people next door change?"

She remembered that there was another couple before.

Suna said, "We just moved in tonight. When the couple moved out, they said that the new couple didn't like the dormitory being too close to the food factory, which disturbed the pregnant woman's sleep, so they applied to the factory for a room change. They are still moving bedding."

Jiang Nian: ...

Sun Ying shouldn't be so aggressive now.

But it's none of her business. As long as she lives comfortably, that's fine.

Jiang Nian and Shu Xue took the enamel basin to the bathroom to wash up. When they finished washing their faces and were about to brush their teeth, they saw Dong Shu and Jia Yuan coming in together. No one paid attention to each other. Jiang Nian turned around and went out. She heard Jia Yuan's mocking voice from the bathroom: "Isn't it just that she found a group leader as a target? Why are you so proud? Maybe he is just playing with her, but she really thinks she is an onion."

Dong Shu heard it and thought of what Yu Xia said that night. She replied: "That's right."

Jiang Nian ignored it and walked straight away. Shu Xue was so angry that she followed her and said angrily: "What they said is too much!"

Jiang Nian said: "Don't bother with them."

Instead of wasting time talking to these people, it is better to do more of her own things. She walked to the dormitory door and saw Wu Youshan and Sun Ying coming up from the stairs. Three pairs of eyes were stunned. Sun Ying held her stomach, snorted coldly, shook off Wu Youshan and went into the next dormitory. Wu Youshan quickly chased after her.

Jiang Nian: ...

crazy.

Shu Xue frowned in confusion: "Jiang Nian, why do I feel that this person is hostile to you?"

Jiang Nian said: "I don't know."

Back to the dormitory, Shu Xue asked curiously: "Why did Jia Yuan come here instead of going home?"

She took off her shoes and soaked her feet, and asked Suna to help her get a foot cloth. Jiang Nian was also soaking her feet, and her two feet were paddling in the water, making her skin even more irritated. To be honest, Su Na brought a foot towel to Shu Xue, afraid that the people next door would hear, and whispered: "I served you two lunch today, and saw Tong Gang and Jia Yuan quarreling outside the factory. I heard something when I passed by. It seemed that Tong Gang's mother said that Jia Yuan had been married to the Tong family for several years but had not given birth to a child. I guess they have been making trouble these days because of this."

Jiang Nian: There is also this melon?

She suddenly thought of the woman in the cinema. Would she play the role of the mistress getting pregnant and forcing the real wife to abort?

The three of them chatted for a few words and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Jiang Nian heard Wu Youshan's voice coming from next door. The dormitory here is indeed not soundproof. Wu Youshan was coaxing Sun Ying and treating her like a treasure. Jiang

Nian listened for a while and fell asleep again. Before she became conscious, she felt that Sun Ying was a little bit ignorant.

Tang Ze was a good man, but she didn't know how to cherish him and did that kind of thing before marriage.

Regardless of Wu Youshan's character, he treated Sun Ying like a treasure and loved her.

The next morning, Jiang Nian got up, had breakfast, and went to Xiuzhuang. It was almost lunchtime when a familiar voice came from outside.

"Is Jiang Nian there?"

It was Song Bai's voice.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was a little surprised that Song Bai came to Yuan City.

At this time, Yu Xia and Dong Shu were walking out with lunch boxes. They saw Song Bai standing in front of the counter. He was wearing a military uniform and was tall and straight. He was similar to the previous captain Lu and was also handsome. Jia Yuan and Fan Shan also came out of the compartment and were stunned when they saw Song Bai.

They didn't understand why they were all looking for Jiang Nian.

Su Na said, "She's in there."

Jiang Nian came out of the compartment as soon as she finished speaking. She had two braids and her bangs were scattered on her forehead. Her eyes were bright and beautiful. When she saw him, she smiled and said, "Song Bai, why are you here?"

She smiled as beautifully as always.

Song Bai's chest felt like it was hit hard by a drum. He looked at Jiang Nian, unwilling to look away. He knew that she had someone else in her heart, but he still wanted to get closer to her and look at her more.

He suppressed the affection in his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm here to see you."

To be honest, after the incident at the train station last time, Jiang Nian was a little uncomfortable facing Song Bai, but she still suppressed the awkwardness and smiled: "Does Lu Yu know you're coming?"

Song Bai said: "Yes, he will come to the Red Star Hotel to find us later, I'll take you there first."

Jiang Nian smiled and said: "Okay."

She said to Shu Xue and Suna: "You guys go to the cafeteria first, I have to leave first."

"Deputy Captain Song."

"Sister-in-law."

The door of the embroidery mansion opened, and Zhu Jun also came. When he saw Jiang Nian, he smiled: "Sister-in-law, how are you here? Are you used to it?"

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Not bad. Didn't Zhang Xiao come?"

Zhu Jun said, "Her belly is big, so let her rest at home and don't let her run back and forth."

Tang Ze also came with them. Tang Ze was wearing a military uniform and looked a little haggard. When he saw Jiang Nian, he nodded and smiled: "Sister-in-law, long time no see."

Jiang Nian's face choked, thinking of ... Sun Ying and Wu Youshan's affair made her feel extremely sympathetic towards Tang Ze, but she did not show it on her face. She smiled faintly and said, "Why are you here too?"

Tang Ze said, "I'm training the troops here this month and will go back next month."

When Yu Xia and the others came out of Xiuzhuang, they heard Zhu Jun and Tang Ze calling "Deputy Colonel Song", "Sister-in-law", and "Brother-in-law". So they looked at Jiang Nian in surprise, not understanding why she was called "Sister-in-law" when she hadn't even married the colonel yet?

Jia Yuan looked at Jiang Nian with more jealousy. Before she came, she was the one with the best status and background in the embroidery factory. Her mother-in-law was the deputy director and her husband was the team leader. No matter how she lived at home, at least she was glorious outside. But since Jiang Nian came, it seemed that all the glimmers of hope were sucked away by her.

Yu Xia and Dong Shu did not see Jiang

Nian's embroidery pictures, but she did. Although she hated Jiang Nian, she had to say that her embroidery skills were indeed very good.

Jia Yuan thought of the troubles at her husband's house, snorted coldly and left.

Song Bai glanced at Jia Yuan, then at Yu Xia and the others who walked out of Xiu Manor. He was always sharp-sighted and immediately noticed that the atmosphere in Xiu Manor was not right. Then his eyes fell on Jiang Nian: "Sister-in-law, I heard that Lu Yu is applying for a family home. You will move to the army soon?"

Jiang Nian didn't know why he brought up this matter, so she nodded: "Yeah."

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "That's great. If you can move to the military region, Commander Lu will always take care of your sister-in-law, and Commander Lu will feel at ease."

Tang Ze said, "Sister-in-law, let's go, Lu Yu will be here soon."

Jiang Nian nodded: "Yeah."

She followed Song Bai and the others away, leaving Yu Xia and the others looking at each other.

Yu Xia thought that the head of the group was just joking before, but she didn't expect it to be true. Now, before they even started dating, everyone around the head of the group has already started calling her sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Has the head of the group already applied for a family home?

Dong Shu reacted and sneered, "What are you so proud of?"

But even though she said that, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

A little girl, not only is her embroidery valued by Master Ge, but she can also marry such a young and handsome head of the group. In the future, if the head of the group gets promoted, her status will get higher and higher. Even if she doesn't need to embroider, she won't have to live by people's faces in her life. This is something that many people can't even dream of. What a dream.

Seeing that Yu Xia didn't move, she called her, "Let's go to the cafeteria."

Yu Xia came back to her senses, frowning, thinking that Jiang Nian was like God's own daughter. How come all the good things happened to her alone?

Song

Bai and his friends had just arrived at the Red Star Hotel when Lu Yu and Chen Yao also arrived.

Lu Yu sat next to Jiang Nian and ordered a lot of meat dishes. While talking to Song Bai and his friends, he also picked up some vegetables for Jiang Nian, feeding her until she was very full.

Jiang Nian: ...

She looked up at Lu Yu: "I really can't eat anymore."

Lu Yu rubbed her head: "If you can't eat, I'll eat."

Then he took Jiang Nian's bowl and chopsticks and ate happily. Song Bai glanced at Jiang Nian, lowered his eyes and said nothing. Zhu Jun and Tang Ze were stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Yu and Jiang Nian in surprise, which was beyond the proper manners of uncle and sister-in-law.

This behavior was not like uncle and sister-in-law, it was almost like a couple.

Chen Yao was used to it, and he also knew that Lu Yu and Jiang Nian were not real uncle and sister-in-law, and thought it would be good for the two of them to be together.

Zhu Jun and Tang Ze barely looked away. Tang Ze thought of the time when his sister-in-law went to Lu's house to match him with Jiang Nian last year. When she came back, she said that Lu Yu was angry. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the natural way Lu Yu and Jiang Nian got along.

Could it be that the two of them got together last year?

What was being said at the table was all about military matters. Jiang Nian didn't listen deliberately, but was thinking about embroidery. It wasn't until he heard Song Bai say that he was going to the border that he came back to his senses.

He stared at Song Bai blankly and reacted a little late: "Where are you going?" Her slowness and disbelief were seen by Lu Yu and Song Bai.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Nian. There seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his deep black eyes. Jiang Nian noticed Lu Yu's gaze, but he just looked up and then looked at Song Bai again, as if that glance was a charity for him.

Lu Yu: ...

The man pursed his thin lips into a cold and hard arc, and said nothing more.

Song Bai's heart beat very quickly. He looked at Jiang Nian and didn't know what he was thinking. He stared into her eyes and repeated word by word: "I have applied and I am going to the border." He

thought that if Jiang Nian could say a word to keep him, he would do everything he could to get the application form back.

Jiang Nian pursed his lips: "The conditions there are quite tough."

Song Bai was silent for a while, and when he saw that Jiang Nian didn't say anything more, he lowered his eyes sadly, with a trace of self-mockery in his eyes.

He knew the result but still deceived himself.

After all, he and Song Bai are brothers of ten years. Tang Ze saw what Song Bai was thinking, raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "I also plan to go to the border, and I will apply for the form when I go back."

He has stayed here long enough.

He has seen through many things in these years.

Song Bai was slightly startled, frowning as he looked at Tang Ze: "Are you sick?"

Tang Ze:...

"Damn it, you are allowed to go to the border but I am not allowed to go to the border?"

Song Bai:...

After dinner, everyone left Xiuzhuang. Before leaving, Song Bai said to Jiang Nian: "Sister-in-law, we will meet again if we are destined."

This time he went to the border, he might not be able to come back for many years.

Jiang Nian didn't know what happened, her eyes suddenly felt hot, and there was inexplicable moisture in her eyes. She waved to Song Bai, and didn't say goodbye if we were destined to meet again. Instead, she said, "See you later."

Song Bai's eyes were filled with smiles: "See you later."

Tang Ze and Zhu Jun also waved goodbye to them. Song Bai looked at Lu Yu: "I'm leaving."

Lu Yu nodded, clenched his fist and bumped it with Song Bai: "Take care of yourself, and come back when you're not used to it."

Song Bai smiled, turned around and walked away.

Jiang Nian watched Tang Ze and Zhu Jun also leave, and suddenly felt a sense of loss. His wrist suddenly tightened, and then he felt a slight pain. He heard Lu Yu's low and deep voice in his ears: "Why? Look so serious?"
