Su Ying smiled slightly and nodded obediently, and Chen Qi secretly cried out in his heart.
Old Lu is great. He has very good taste. He must have married the daughter of a cadre. She is pretty, with a delicate face. It's obvious that she comes from a scholarly family.
If they bring this young wife back home, their compound will probably be bustling today.
Chen Qi leaned close to Lu Dongsheng's ear and whispered, "Captain, you are great. Your young wife is so pretty."
Lu Dongsheng raised his eyebrows, looking very proud.
"No, that's the one I like."
Chen Qi clicked his tongue twice and put the luggage in the trunk. Lu Dongsheng said, "Let's go to the restaurant in front and have dinner before going back. I still have to buy a quilt and some daily necessities."
I just happened to have a car, so I bought all the things I could first. I would have to borrow a tractor and come back later to buy some wood and other things.
Chen Qi said: "Okay, if you want to get married without telling us, you have to invite me."
...
...
"Okay, okay, no problem."
After Lu Dongsheng helped Su Ying get into the car, he sat aside and Chen Qi parked the car directly in front of the state-owned restaurant.
Su Ying asked: "Is this far or near from your troops?"
"It's not far, just a dozen kilometers. Let's eat first."
The journey was really bumpy, and Su Ying looked a little weak, so she ordered herself a bowl of sour soup noodles. After the three of them had their meal, Lu Dongsheng took her to the textile factory and bought her two quilts and a mattress, as well as a washbasin, soap, towels and so on. In short, he bought everything he could think of.
Chen Qi was stunned watching from the side. Wasn't it women's job to buy things? Why did the company commander do it himself?
And this Su Ying, she is pretty but looks delicate and weak, as if she doesn't care about anything.
When I think about it, my wife is the best. She is good at both housework and cooking, and she takes care of all the big and small things at home.
Su Ying was watching something else on the side. Chen Qi saw Lu Dongsheng picking out pillowcases. He muttered quietly, "Isn't this a woman's job? Aren't you ashamed as a grown man?"
Lu Dongsheng paused: "You know shit."
Chen Qi was speechless and just stood aside.
He had chosen what he needed for the time being. After the salesperson had calculated the items, he took out the ticket from his bag to pay the bill. Chen Qi helped him carry it to the car, and the car then drove towards the staff quarters.
This is also considered the north, but there are still ponds and paddy fields.
She wondered, "Why are there paddy fields here? Aren't there only wheat, corn and potatoes in the north?"
Lu Dongsheng explained: "The terrain here is flat, the water is abundant, and the climate is relatively complex. The paddy fields near the river can be used to grow rice. We plant in May and harvest in August. Anyway, as long as there is land that can be planted, we must not waste it."
Su Ying nodded as if she understood. Chen Qi glanced at the two of them through the rearview mirror from time to time. They looked like a couple.
Soon the car arrived at the gate of the military compound. Chen Haiyang, who had been waiting at the gate early, saw his old father in the driver's seat, turned around and ran into the yard.
While running, he shouted: "The bride is coming, the bride is coming..."
Chen Qi saw his son's back and called out "Chen Haiyang", but the boy didn't hear him.
Chen Qi helped carry the luggage and muttered, "Just watch this kid. Before we even got in, the news of your return was spread by this kid."
Lu Dongsheng smiled and said, "Your Haiyang is quite lively."
"What's the point of being lively? He will be going to preschool in the second half of the year. He is as tough as a monkey. My wife chases him with a stick every day. When will he grow up?"
"You're really going to grow up, but you're still reluctant to let go."
Chen Qi smiled, waved and called two young comrades from the compound's duty room to help them carry their things.
Chen Qi said: "Let them accompany you in first. I will go and return the car to the political commissar first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Several women sitting in the sun in the compound laughed and said, "I'm afraid Haiyang is feeling itchy again. I haven't heard anyone say that anyone in our compound is getting married."
"Did we miss some news?"
Someone called out to Chen Haiyang and asked, "Haiyang, why are you running so fast? Who's going to get married?"
Chen Haiyang panted and said, "It's Uncle Lu. Uncle Lu is here with his bride."
When he shouted in such a loud voice, all the women in the compound became very curious. They stopped paying attention to the work in their hands and pushed each other, and quickly stood up and looked sideways curiously at the place not far away.
Chen Haiyang was also happy and ran towards home with big strides.
"Come and see if Captain Lu's new wife is pretty."
"Captain Lu is good-looking, so his new wife must be pretty good too."
These women were so happy as if there was a happy event in their family, mainly because Lu Dongsheng had a good reputation among them.
He is capable and good-looking, tall and looks healthy. Among a group of big men, he is the most special one.
Soon, Lu Dongsheng and Su Ying arrived in front of several neatly arranged rows of houses amid the noise and laughter of a group of children in the compound.
When these women saw the young couple, their faces were filled with joy.
"Hey, Captain Lu, you've brought your young wife here."
"Yes, sister-in-law, please take care of her in the future."
"It's okay, it's okay. We're all from the same compound, so they'll definitely take care of you."
Several women were laughing on the side. Su Ying felt a little embarrassed, but she still said generously: "Hello, sisters-in-law. Come to our house often in the future."
"Okay, okay, we will definitely come."
Lu Dongsheng usually doesn't talk much when he eats in the master's room. He nodded politely and walked forward with Su Ying.
The women whispered, "Captain Lu just came back, could it be that he has already applied for the house?"
"Who knows? Don't live with Li Xiumei. She's a troublemaker."
"Should we remind the new bride?"
"Why do you care so much? Don't come back and accuse us of gossiping. I'm going to go knit a sweater."
Someone on the side said, "Oh, Captain Lu brought back such a beautiful wife. I'm afraid someone will be sad when they come back."
A few women giggled, sat back in their seats and started working on their work.
When Li Xiumei heard them coming, she held her waist with one hand, hugged her belly with the other, lifted the door curtain and walked out.
"Oh, Captain Lu is here, hurry up and sit inside, where is our Old Chen?"
"Mrs. Li, he went to return the car to the political commissar. Let my wife stay at your house for a while. I'll go and report and apply for a house."
"Since you just arrived, sit down and rest for a while and drink some water. Let Lao Chen come back to help you."
"I guess he has other things to do in the afternoon."
Li Xiumei sat opposite Su Ying with a smile on her face, her eyes almost narrowed into slits.
Is she the thorn in Lu Dongsheng's mouth?
If you are a troublemaker, why did you bring yourself to someone else's house?
Su Ying also smiled politely. Li Xiumei leaned closer with her big face, and the corners of her mouth were almost cracked to the back of her ears.
Beautiful, the girl is so pretty, it’s better to be young after all!
Captain Lu has a really good vision!
