This time it was Deputy Captain Wang's turn to be unwilling. He came from the countryside, a man who had walked out of the soil, and he had made it to where he is now, and he had become very successful.
Seeing her man's cold face, Aunt Wang knew the situation and stopped talking.
Not long after Xu Niannian, who was in another car, walked out, he leaned his head against the car window, ready to take a rest.
This car was even more dizzy than the train, and the ground was not very flat, causing her head to bump back and forth.
Lu Huaijin held her in his arms, touched her hair, and covered her head with his big palm:
"Go to sleep. I'll call you when we get there."
Xu Niannian closed her eyes tightly. When she was reading a novel before, she saw the heroine go into a space to take a bath.
She was all sticky these past two days and wanted to go into the space to wash, but there was a soldier next to her, and their relationship was not strong enough for her to reveal her true colors.
As you can imagine, her head was dirty and was touched by Lu Huaijin, so she could only pretend to be dead.
Lu Huaijin naturally felt the stiffness of her body and thought she was not used to having an outsider around.
He pulled her body into his arms again.
Zhang Liang, who was sitting in front, felt jealous when he heard what Lu Huaijin said. If there were only two of them in the car, he would have definitely scolded him.
What did I say before? All I had in my heart was loyalty to my country. But what about now?
I'm really corrupted by love.
The sky gradually darkened and the car took a more and more remote route.
When Xu Niannian woke up with a hoarse voice, she saw that the sky outside had turned gray, and she was nestled in Lu Huaijin's arms.
She carefully raised herself up:
"Where are we?"
"We're almost there, drink some water first."
As Lu Huaijin spoke, he opened the military water bottle beside him and handed it to her.
Xu Niannian rubbed his eyes, took the kettle and took a small sip.
Lu Huaijin watched her rosy lips touch the mouth of the kettle, and his throat tightened. That was his kettle, and he kissed her indirectly again.
He naturally knew that she had a mild mysophobia, so did this mean that he was one of her own?
Xu Niannian stared at the scenery outside. It was indeed quite remote and there were not many people.
Lu Huaijin quietly loosened his aching arms. After all, his body had not fully recovered yet. After two hours of pillowing, his blood circulation was blocked and his body was numb.
Xu Niannian felt him move carefully, and the part that moved was exactly where her head was resting:
"Did I sleep too long? You didn't even tell me. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
As he said that, he reached out and wanted to help him press it.
The delicate fingers pinched his shoulders, as if they could penetrate the clothes on his body.
This made him feel even more numb, and he wrapped his big hand around her small hand and placed it on his leg:
"No, I'll be fine in a moment."
He was afraid that if he pinched her again, he would not be able to resist kissing her. It seemed that his damn self-control was useless in front of her.
When you arrive at the military area, you have to pass by the gate.
The young soldier on guard registered them one by one and then let them go.
When Zhang Liang drove the car to the family compound, Lu Huaijin called for a stop:
"Just drive here. It's dark now and there are a lot of kids inside. Don't hit anyone."
Zhang Liang: "Okay, then I'll just go and return the car."
Lu Huaijin had already opened the door and started moving his luggage downstairs.
Xu Niannian said to Zhang Liang:
"Thank you for troubling me this time. Come to my house for dinner in a couple of days when the house is ready."
Zhang Liang's pair of white teeth are particularly dazzling in the dark night:
"You are so polite, sister-in-law. I will come over in two days."
Lu Huaijin quickly moved all the luggage downstairs:
"Okay, you go first, you've been tired for quite some time."
Xu Niannian followed Lu Huaijin and then thought:
"It takes more than two hours to get to the station from here. Doesn't that mean he didn't have dinner?"
Lu Huaijin knew that his wife was soft-hearted:
"Don't worry, he will definitely go buy some food nearby and won't be hungry all the time."
Xu Niannian then observed the layout of the family compound. It was basically a small courtyard layout, and the houses didn't look very new:
"Are all the houses here like this kind of small courtyard?"
"Most of them are small courtyards. Recently, some new buildings have been built. However, I didn't go to draw lots because I felt that there were no courtyards. If you want, we can wait for the next batch."
Xu Niannian shook her head and said that she could also plant some trees or something in the yard.
Moreover, if you eat something delicious in the tube building, the neighbors around can smell it, which is quite inconvenient.
After seeing the whole place, Xu Niannian had a general idea of what life here was like.
Wait until Lu Huaijin opened the gate of his house and let her go in first.
She then realized that this man was really rough. The yard was bare, with no vegetables planted. There was only a small sapling of unknown species in the yard.
There were dim lights on in the yard.
This is rare, as electricity is precious at this time.
At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the house:
"Captain Lu, you're back? There's warm food in the kitchen."
Lu Huaijin put the luggage on the ground and introduced Xu Niannian:
"She is Aunt Liu who I hired to take care of the children." Then he pointed at Xu Niannian, "My wife Xu Niannian."
Aunt Liu greeted Xu Niannian:
"Hello, Comrade Xu. I will be leaving today."
Lu Huaijin brought the food from inside the house to the small table outside:
"Eat something first."
Xu Niannian touched her stomach and didn't have much appetite, but she still sat down.
At this time, Lu Ze was quietly lying at the door watching the two of them. Was that the new aunt outside?
He turned his head and glanced at his brother, who was still in a daze.
Xu Niannian stuffed some vegetables into his mouth. Since he had come here, he must first ask about the situation:
"What's the situation with Aunt Liu? She doesn't look like someone you found outside."
Lu Huaijin drank a mouthful of soup and moistened his throat:
"I was often on missions before, and there was no one to take care of the two children at home, so I asked someone to find them for me. Her son is Captain He."
"Is that so? Then she has no grandchildren?"
Generally, those who come to join the army are there to take care of the younger generation.
"No, that's why I have time to take care of the child. When I'm on a mission, she sleeps here. When I'm at home, she goes back to her own house to sleep. The money is different."
Speaking of this, I wonder if those two kids are asleep.
Xu Niannian was also a little curious, and these days, she learned a little about the child's situation.
The two of them looked into the room at the same time and saw a little kid at the door, peeking out.
They just happened to look each other in the eye.
Lu Ze's ears quickly turned red; he was caught peeking.
Lu Huaijin waved at him:
"Lu Ze, come here."
Lu Ze opened the door hesitantly, walked down with his short legs, and came to the two of them:
"Hello, uncle."
Xu Niannian pursed her lips beside her. She originally thought that since Lu Huaijin had adopted them both, he would let them call him dad.
