Lu Jingchuan returned home, took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, hurried to the office building to report on his work, then went to the barber shop to get a haircut, borrowed the company's jeep, and rushed to the city to pick up his wife.
The civil affairs department held a meeting in the morning to summarize the work progress of this month. The three new clerks were praised by the leaders.
A group of people came out of the conference room. Li Xuan was the first to see Lu Jingchuan waiting in the corridor. He smiled and told the people behind him, "Gong Linglong, your husband is here."
"ah?"
Gong Linglong was originally walking at the back, but now she immediately squeezed to the front. Seeing the handsome and resolute man, she smiled brightly: "Brother Jing, you're back. When did you arrive?"
"Arrived an hour ago."
Lu Jingchuan wore a very serious expression in front of outsiders, and politely greeted Secretary Yan and the others: "Hello, leaders."
"Deputy Captain Lu, I haven't seen you for a while." Secretary Yan smiled.
Director Yang also curled his lips slightly and took the initiative to give Gong Linglong a day off. "Linglong, there are no particularly important tasks today. You can take half a day off in the afternoon. You can make up for the scattered work tomorrow."
"Thank you, Director Yang."
Lu Jingchuan thanked her on her behalf and handed the watermelon on the wooden bench to Li Xuan, "Comrade, let's share this watermelon."
"Deputy Captain Lu, take it back and eat it." Secretary Yan refused to accept it.
"I just bought a few and there are still some in the car."
Gong Linglong quickly wrote a leave request according to the procedure, picked up her backpack, and happily followed him. "Brother Jing, your junior sister Jiang Yun has been staying at our house for a week. She said she was going to pick someone up at the train station this morning, but she didn't tell me who it was."
"It's my master and senior brother."
Lu Jingchuan didn't know why they suddenly came to Seoul. After he completed the task, he called his master. His master had already bought the train tickets and made an appointment to meet in Seoul.
When she heard they were coming, Gong Linglong hurriedly asked, "Will they come to our house?"
"meeting."
Lu Jingchuan's eyes were glued to her, carefully protecting her as she walked. Seeing that she was still walking as fast as before, he quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Linglong, walk slowly, slowly."
Gong Linglong slowed down and realized what was happening. She smiled and said, "Brother Jing, congratulations, you're going to be a father."
When Lu Jingchuan heard the news, he was so excited that he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly back. He was in a state of excitement on the way back.
At this moment, his pretty wife was in front of him. He actually wanted to hug her, but now that he was outside, he forced himself to hold back, his eyes full of tenderness: "Wife, thank you for your hard work."
“It’s not hard, it’s very happy.”
Gong Linglong raised the corners of her mouth, smiling like a flower, her face filled with happiness and sweetness.
"Hey, Second Brother, you're back."
The warm atmosphere between the two was interrupted by Jiang Yun.
The couple turned their heads at the same time and saw two imposing men in military uniforms behind her. Lu Jingchuan shouted happily, "Master, Senior Brother."
"Jingchuan."
Ji Weixian, who was tall and strong, strode over and gave Lu Jingchuan a hug that was only possible between brothers.
After greeting his eldest brother, Lu Jingchuan saluted the approaching master with a formal military salute, "Master!"
Han Ji looked serious, returned the military salute, and said nothing. His gaze shifted to Gong Linglong, and his sharp eyes, as deep as a dry well, were churning with subtle waves in their depths.
"Linglong, come here."
Lu Jingchuan led her closer and politely introduced her, "Master, Senior Brother, this is my wife Gong Linglong."
After that, he introduced her: "Linglong, this is my master, Chief Han Ji, and next to him is my senior brother Ji Wei, who is at the regimental level."
"Captain Han J, Captain Ji, hello." Gong Linglong took the initiative to greet them.
"Hello."
Both Master Han Ji and his disciple extended their hands to shake her hands, both of them looking her over.
Jiang Yun approached Han Ji and felt that his eyes were a little peculiar at this moment, as if he was suppressing some emotion. She said with a playful smile, "Old man, there's something wrong with you."
"Get lost."
Han Ji pushed her away, restrained the emotions in his eyes, and said to Lu Jingchuan: "Ask Xiao Gong for leave and go back to the military area first."
"Master, I've already asked for leave, and we're about to leave."
The jeep was parked nearby, and Lu Jingchuan immediately opened the door. "Master, please sit in the front. Linglong, you and the senior brother and junior sister can sit in the back."
"good."
Lu Jingchuan carefully helped her into the car, and kept reminding her, "Slow down, slow down, don't rush, take your time."
Jiang Yun next to him: "...Second Brother, is it really that serious?"
"Linglong is pregnant. You have to be careful." Lu Jingchuan took care of her carefully.
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law is not an ordinary pregnant woman. She is not that delicate. Do you know when I met her? She and I were doing disaster relief in Xinjiang County..."
Jiang Yun chattered away, and Lu Jingchuan listened patiently. When he learned that his wife had gone to provide disaster relief during her early pregnancy, he said seriously, "Linglong, you can't do that again. Mom has repeatedly warned you to be careful during the first three months of pregnancy."
"Brother Jing, I'm really fine. If you let me run 3,000 meters with my stomach tucked in, it should be no problem."
Gong Linglong was aware of her own body and was not as nervous as he was. Seeing that both Han Ji and Ji Wei were looking at her, she chuckled and said, "Okay, Brother Jing, stop nagging. Let's go to the meat processing factory now, buy some vegetables, and then go back."
"No need to buy food, just eat something in the cafeteria." Han Ji said.
"The two leaders have come from far away, so it's not appropriate for us to eat in the cafeteria. Let's just buy a few dishes and try my cooking at noon." Gong Linglong didn't dare to treat them badly.
"Master, Linglong is a good cook, and the food her mother, Aunt Bai, cooks is also delicious. Let me tell you, I've been staying at Second Brother's house for a week, and I've gained three pounds. Aunt Bai cooks delicious meals for me three times a day, and now I don't want to leave."
Han Ji listened and his eyes moved, "Really? Then I have to try it too."
The jeep drove to the entrance of the meat processing plant. Gong Linglong asked them to wait in the car while she got out to buy vegetables. She also asked Lu Jingchuan to go to the department store next door to buy some popsicles for everyone to cool down.
Gong Linglong quickly came out with two chickens and three or four pounds of meat from the space. The other vegetables were already available at home. The weather was hot and it would be impossible to store too much meat, so she only bought enough to eat today.
After she got in the car, Jiang Yun handed her the popsicle and said to the driver in front, "Old man, you seem to be in a bad mood today. Did one of us three offend you?"
Ji Wei curled his lips and smiled, "It has absolutely nothing to do with me."
Lu Jingchuan stepped on the accelerator and started the car. He looked at his master with a smile and said, "Master, I don't think I have offended you."
"Could it be me?"
Jiang Yun sat in the middle of the back row, stretching her neck and leaning forward, grinning, "Old man, I didn't offend you. Why are you so unhappy? Are you middle-aged and doing what women do?"
