Lu Jingchuan nodded, sensing that her expression was a little strange. He turned around to glance at Gao Xuemei, who had already walked away, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Linglong, have you seen her before?"
"I've seen him several times." Gong Linglong smiled a little strangely.
"Um?"
Lu Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Isn't this the first time you've met?"
"She's meeting me for the first time, but I've met her several times."
Gong Linglong couldn't understand this woman. Her husband was the deputy director of the logistics department, a high-ranking official. The Meng family had status and background in Seoul, and the Yu family was probably not much worse. How could she be so impatient and have an affair with another man behind her husband's back?
Seeing her expression constantly changing, which was indescribably strange, Lu Jingchuan instinctively felt something was wrong and pulled her aside to ask, "Linglong, did something happen?"
"Yes, there are some things."
Gong Linglong didn't want to tell him about it, after all, it was a bit dirty.
But considering that Gao Xuemei is also a military wife, the truth will come out sooner or later. She has been fooling around with strange men so often, and her dirty tricks will be exposed sooner or later, which will definitely affect the reputation of the army and her family.
She thought about it and decided to tell him about the dirty ears.
When she finished telling him the story, Lu Jingchuan's handsome face froze. He said with a slightly embarrassed look, "She has a good reputation in the family housing complex. Everyone says she's a caring and virtuous woman. The couple seems to have a good relationship."
Gong Linglong curled her lips and said, "This is what a master is."
Lu Jingchuan wanted to laugh. How could he be called a master? At most, he was just a bad guy with slightly more sophisticated tactics.
What he hated most was people who betrayed their families. He used to have a good impression of Gao Xuemei, but now her impression has completely hit rock bottom.
Just as he was about to change the subject, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he quickly asked her, "Linglong, was it the same man you met twice?"
"I didn't see the man's face clearly the first time, but I did see it the second time. He looked very ordinary, probably around the same age as her."
Lu Jingchuan nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and pulled her forward, "Let's go fishing."
The two found some bait by the river. Gong Linglong took some water from the space and poured it on the bait leaves while he was not paying attention.
In less than two minutes, the fish was caught.
Gong Linglong was possessed by the Queen, and excitedly pulled the fishing rod: "Brother Jing, it's hooked, this fish is so heavy."
"sharp."
Lu Jingchuan had just cast the fishing hook, and now he put down the rod and immediately came over to help her pull the fish.
A grass carp was pulled ashore. Gong Linglong noticed movement in the water again and quickly pushed him: "Brother Jing, you caught a fish, go get the fishing rod."
"Why are you so lucky today?"
Lu Jingchuan immediately rushed over to pick up the fishing rod that was almost dragged away. Feeling the weight, he smiled and said, "Linglong, mine is not small either."
Gong Linglong curled her lips and smiled. The bait with added ingredients was magical.
In just half an hour, the two men returned with six big fish. The sisters-in-law in the family compound were all stunned and almost all rushed over to watch.
"Jingchuan, Linglong, what are you doing?"
Bai Shuixian came back with a cloth bag and saw a large group of people gathered in a circle, with her daughter and son-in-law surrounded in the middle.
"Mom, you're back."
Lu Jingchuan turned around with a smile on his face: "Linglong and I just went fishing in the river. We were very lucky today. We caught six big fish in half an hour."
Bai Shuixian's eyes moved slightly, and she had a vague guess. She smiled and said, "Liu Tiao, you guys are really lucky. Let me see."
Four grass carps, a big carp, and a silver carp were all jumping around on the ground.
After everyone had seen enough, Lu Jingchuan took out a kitchen knife and chopping board, cut up all the fish, and gave each family in the group a large piece of grass carp meat, and kept the rest for himself.
While her daughter and son-in-law were cleaning the fish, Bai Shuixian returned home and started helping to cook lunch. She had bought a chicken at the meat processing plant in the morning and also went to the pharmacy to get some tonics, which she simmered on the stove.
The lunch was quite rich, with a large pot of chicken soup, a serving of spicy fish offal, pickled fish fillets, and a bowl of fried cabbage with oil residue.
Bai Shuixian filled a large bowl of white rice for her son-in-law and gave him the chicken leg first. "Jingchuan, you've been working hard outside recently. Drink more chicken soup to replenish your body."
"Mom, I'll eat something else, you and Linglong can eat chicken legs."
"You and Linglong eat, I love chicken wings."
Bai Shuixian passed the other chicken leg to her daughter and picked a chicken wing for herself. She told them, "Eat quickly. After dinner, each of you should have two bowls of soup."
"Mom, is your work hard?" Lu Jingchuan asked her.
"fine."
Bai Shuixian smiled warmly and said as she ate, "I mainly give massages to the old leaders and occasionally help them with cupping. I don't need to do other trivial things. There are 20 or 30 old leaders living in the sanatorium. They are all very friendly and easy to talk to. Now they have been arranged into shifts. I just help them relax and regulate their bodies according to the shift."
"It seems that Mom's cooking skills are good and she is very popular in the nursing home." Lu Jingchuan chuckled.
"good."
Bai Shuixian smiled and told the two younger generations another story: "Yesterday I heard from an old leader that the Civil Affairs Department's Relief Department is recruiting. They require a high school degree and an on-site exam and interview. Linglong, you mentioned earlier that you wanted to find a job outside. Would you like to give it a try?"
When Gong Linglong heard about this unit, her eyes lit up. The relief department of the civil affairs department, the job in this unit is very suitable for her.
She was tempted and immediately discussed with Lu Jingchuan: "Brother Jing, how about I give it a try?"
"Can."
Lu Jingchuan could see that she really wanted to go out to work, so he agreed without hesitation and asked his mother-in-law, "Mom, when do we register for the exam?"
"I've inquired carefully. They're recruiting three people this time. Registration opens tomorrow morning at 8:00 and closes at 9:00. There will be two assessments: a cultural and moral character test and a leadership interview. There seems to be a political review process as well. Finally, the top three will be admitted based on their overall scores."
Lu Jingchuan nodded and said to his wife, "Linglong, I'll go with you tomorrow morning."
"Brother Jing, I can go by myself." Gong Linglong didn't want to delay his work, and she also had confidence in herself.
"I'll take half a day off and go with you." Lu Jingchuan insisted.
Seeing that he insisted, Gong Linglong didn't say anything more and nodded in response: "Okay, you will go with me tomorrow."
"Linglong, Jingchuan will go with you. I won't go. I have to go back to the sanatorium to work tomorrow morning." Bai Shuixian also wanted to accompany her, but her work schedule was full all day, so she had to go to work early.
"Mom, go to work and rest assured. I'll come to the nursing home to see you after I'm done with my work."
After the three of them finished their meal, they all took a nap at home, and then went into the mountains together to chop firewood and look for wild vegetables in the afternoon.
With Lu Jingchuan, the top-notch labor force, the open space in front of and behind the house was filled with firewood in just one afternoon, making the sisters-in-law of the neighbors on both sides envious.
The men from each family saw that the deputy commander helped his wife chop firewood on his day off, and their wives were complaining all the time. They didn't want to just lie down at home and rest, so they all took their axes and went to the mountains together in the afternoon.
