Chen Qi answered truthfully: "The company commander really didn't call."
In fact, according to reason, Chen Qi and Li Xiumei should still call Su Ying sister-in-law, but everyone in the compound calls Li Xiumei "Sister-in-law Li", so Sister-in-law Li has actually become her name.
Chen Qi wanted to call her sister-in-law, but didn't in the end.
"Okay, I understand."
Li Xiumei also noticed it, but she didn't say anything. The few of them sat in the room and ate quietly.

A few days later, Su Ying received the news that she was going on a business trip.
Director Liao called Su Ying and Du Lili to his office and said, "Go back and pack up, we're going to South City on a business trip tomorrow morning.
There is a new canning factory over there, and the products they produce are very good. The higher-ups have given us two places to go and learn from them, but Su Ying is pregnant now, so it is not convenient for her to follow me. You have a good relationship with Du Lili, so let Du Lili go with you, and Director Wang will stay to look after the factory."
...
...
When Su Ying heard this, she was actually a little confused.
Her morning sickness has improved a bit recently, but she doesn't want to go far away. Director Liao probably wants to promote her. Besides, she can speak English, so he might think it would be a good idea to take her with him.
Director Liao saw that Su Ying didn't say anything, and then said, "If you don't want to go, you can tell me."
"No, Director Liao, I'll follow you."
Du Lili was a little excited. She had never been out of this small county town since she was a child. It would be nice if she could go out with them.
Her eyes widened: "Director, do I have to pay for food and lodging?"
"The factory will pay for the things you don't spend, and there's also a subsidy of one yuan a day."
One dollar subsidy?
That’s great, one dollar a day is enough for her to eat delicious food.
"Thank you, Director. I'll go. I'll go."
The two came out of the factory director's office, and Du Lili was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"Yingzi, I have to thank you for this matter. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I could leave the county."
"Of course you will. You have to treat me to a meal then."
"I promise."
Su Ying thought that there was nothing to do at home, so she might as well go out and take a look.
Since Lu Dongsheng is not at home, she will stay at home for the time being.
Su Ying came back in the evening and told Li Xiumei about it. Then she went to South City with Du Lili early the next morning.
They went directly to the provincial capital and took a direct train to South City. As soon as they got off the train, it was cloudy and rainy.
Su Ying came out of the train station and saw a military green SUV driving past the door. The person in the passenger seat looked out of the window.
In a trance, Su Ying seemed to see Lu Dongsheng.
Coincidentally, the black car that was going to pick them up was nearby. When the people in the car saw Director Liao, they quickly got out to pick him up.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Lu Dongsheng seemed to have seen Su Ying out of the corner of his eyes just now.
He hesitated and shouted, "Stop, turn around."
Feng Xiaojun thought something had happened, so he stepped on the accelerator hard. With a click, the car suddenly stopped on the street.
"What's wrong?"
"I seemed to see my wife turning around at the entrance of the train station."
Feng Xiaojun was surprised: "Impossible? How could my sister-in-law be here?"
Lu Dongsheng glared at him, and Feng Xiaojun said, "Okay, I'll turn around."
When turning around, rain poured in from the car window, so Feng Xiaojun closed the window.
Just then, the jeep and the black sedan passed each other.
Lu Dongsheng got out of the car, stood in the heavy rain and looked around, but there was no trace of Su Ying.
Could it be that I miss her so much that I am dizzy?
Lu Dongsheng got on the co-pilot seat, and Feng Xiaojun said, "I think you're missing your sister-in-law so much that your eyes are blurry. You've been out for so long, and you've been busy from morning till night, and you don't have time to call your sister-in-law."
Lu Dongsheng's deep eyes were fixed on the front. She didn't say anything, and Lu Dongsheng didn't say anything either.
The woman in the back row, wearing a military uniform and two pigtails, asked cautiously and tentatively, "Excuse me, is Captain Lu married?"
Feng Xiaojun glanced at the woman sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Her name was Li Shishi, and she was the chief's daughter.
She had just returned from somewhere else, and the person who came to pick her up was sent by her father.
When Lu Dongsheng came here, it was also her first day in the army.
She saw the man in the crowd at a glance.
He was tall, mighty, with three-dimensional features and outstanding temperament, which made her unable to take her eyes away for a moment.
Feng Xiaojun saw the look in her eyes and said, "Yes, our brother Lu's wife is very beautiful, and she is also a cultured person. Her English is very good."
Li Shishi felt a little upset. She asked her father to check Lu Dongsheng's information. He was just an ordinary country man, but she didn't expect that he was already married.
Li Shishi suddenly became curious about Lu Dongsheng, a man she had never met.
What an outstanding woman she is?
Lu Dongsheng took a deep breath. He didn't see her in person. His deep eyes stared at the drizzle outside the window, and he felt a little depressed.
Yes, she only knew that she went out to study, but she had no idea that she came to this place.
Su Ying in the car also looked absent-minded.
She had gained some weight around her waist, but the shirt she wore wasn't very slim-fitting, so it wasn't noticeable from her appearance.
After arriving at the guesthouse, the rain got heavier.
There are also people from other cities who come here to study, and they all live in the same guesthouse.
Su Ying came back, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and treated everyone to breakfast and lunch.
She and Du Lili shared a room. Perhaps Su Ying was tired, so she fell asleep immediately.
In my sleep, I could hear the sound of raindrops falling on my ears and occasional footsteps in the corridor of the wooden room.
She slept more and more soundly, and when she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by a scream coming from the yard.
Du Lili also slept with her. They both woke up at the same time. Du Lili put on her clothes, opened the door and stood at the door. She saw people running back and forth in a hurry in the corridor.
Du Lili asked, "Comrade, what's the matter?"
"It was raining so hard that the higher-ups were worried about flooding. The PLA comrades came and told us to pack up our belongings and take us to a safe place."
It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River in summer, and Su Ying and her family live by the river. A notice came down from above, asking everyone to pack up.
The man left in a hurry, and soon Director Liao came.
Director Liao said: "Pack your things quickly and wait for rescue."
Su Ying leaned over the window and looked out. The water in the river outside looked a bit earthy, but it wasn't going to cause a flood.
However, they still cooperated well.
Director Liao blamed himself: "If I had known there might be a flood here, I shouldn't have brought you here.
You are pregnant now. If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your wife?"
Su Ying smiled and said, "Director, I'm fine, right?"
Director Liao sighed again and waited in the corridor with the two men.
In the river outside the window, some boatmen have already started transporting things out.
Soon, a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers came to the yard. When Su Ying saw the familiar clothes, a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes, and her eyes brightened up.
