"I'll be back. I want you to stay at Deputy Captain Lu's house every day. Bah, you bastard—"

The greedy and shameless Yue Li'e, even though she was old and unwilling to give in, kept swearing and cursing Cao Xiuchai all the way.

Cao Xiuchai: "Oh, so Aunt Yue is also afraid of being put in solitary confinement!!!"

"Sister-in-law Xiulan, I've almost finished packing. I have to go to Deputy Battalion Commander Xu's house to see if Yaya has gone back to her own home."

"I have to take this opportunity to give Auntie Yue another warning. Deputy Commander Lu's wife will be arriving in a few days. Don't let this woman make her refuse to join the army."

Cao Xiuchai said to Kong Xiulan with a serious face.

"Yes, yes, yes, Yaya has to go and take a look; Aunt Yue really needs to be talked to again, Sister Xiu Chai, then you should go quickly, thank you for your trouble."

Well, the two sisters-in-law thought of the same thing and hit it off immediately, Kong Xiulan said without any beating around the bush.

"Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Kong, thank you for your hard work today!"

After Lu Chenting wiped and set up the dressing table, he immediately left the bedroom and sincerely thanked his two sisters-in-law.

Well, although Lu Chenting's face was still so cold and his words were still stiff when he expressed his gratitude, Kong Xiulan and Cao Xiucha, who knew Deputy Captain Lu Chenting well, could not help but sigh. It was not easy for such words to come out of the mouth of the taciturn Deputy Captain Lu Chenting - it was rare.

Kong Xiulan: "Hey, Deputy Captain Lu, what's the connection here—"

Cao Xiuchai: "Deputy Commander Lu, we're from the same family compound. Isn't it normal for us to help each other? You're too polite."

Kong Xiulan: "Yes, yes, this is not a matter of lending a hand. Sister Xiuchai, let's go. I also want to go back. Let's go together."

Cao Xiuchai: "Okay, then we'll go back first, Deputy Captain Lu."

Lu Chenting: "Yeah."

Lu Chenting, who was calm and stern, nodded slightly and said "hmm".

***

Orderly soldier Shen Xiaoqi, like a hen protecting her chicks, carefully held his and his deputy commander's lunch boxes tightly against his chest, then wrapped them up with his clothes and ran towards the family compound with big strides.

"..."

"what--"

“Where are the people???”

The hardworking Shen Xiaoqi walked across the front yard and went straight into the house, but when he looked around, he found that the house was empty and there was no one in sight.

"Deputy Captain Lu, where are you???"

Shen Xiaoqi looked in the left bedroom, then in the right bedroom, but no one was there—

"Hey, Deputy Captain Lu, I found you. You're in the kitchen."

"I thought you were away."

"Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Kong have both gone back?"

After a while, the naive Shen Xiaoqi finally found his deputy captain Lu in the kitchen and asked with an innocent look on his face.

Lu Chenting had a look of disdain on his face, and glanced at his orderly as if he was looking at a fool, as if asking: If the sisters-in-law don't go back, do you think they will stay for dinner?

Well, it's really not popular in the family compound. You have to treat me to a meal just for doing a small favor. Shen Xiaoqi also felt that his question was a bit silly. He smiled and accepted the look of disdain from his deputy group leader.

"Wow! Deputy Captain Lu, how come this earthen stove was already built???"

"I was just in the cafeteria, and I heard Deputy Commander Shi of the Sixth Regiment ask Commander Xu Zhengyou of the Second Battalion to go to his yard the day after tomorrow to help build a clay stove."

"Didn't we just come back from a mission?"

"Who is so kind as to build the stove for you?"

[Actually, Lu Chenting didn't know either. He thought these earthen stoves were standard equipment and every household had one. Who is it?]

"ah--"

"And this iron pot! Deputy Commander Lu also bought it. Why didn't I see it on the truck just now?"

"Haha, this pot is so big——"

"With such a big pot, I can come over and eat for free in the future."

Shen Xiaoqi seemed to have completely forgotten about it. He was about to come over and tell his deputy leader that his meal was ready.

At this moment, Shen Xiaoqi was like a chirping little sparrow, asking questions and talking non-stop; Lu Chenting seemed to have developed "antibodies" to his orderly a long time ago. He was not affected at all, as if no one was around. He put the big iron pot that he had just bought today on the ground on the earthen stove like a hat.

Shen Xiaoqi: "Hey, the size is just right——"

Lu Chenting: "Is the meal ready?"

Lu Chenting, with a stern face, put the pot away, straightened up and asked seriously.

He knew that his orderly was on an IQ trip and had completely forgotten about the meal. Hmm, I had to remind him.

Shen Xiaoqi was reminded by Lu Chenting and suddenly realized, "Oh, I was going to call you to eat. I've prepared the meal. Deputy Captain Lu, let's go eat it while it's hot. It's very cold today and it will definitely be cold in a while."

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu——"

"Come out quickly, I've got some stools ready for you."

The high-pitched voice of Deputy Head Qiao Zhihong from the front yard reached the kitchen.

"Oh, that's Deputy Captain Qiao's voice."

Shen Xiaoqi was smart at this time. After saying this, he rushed to the front yard at lightning speed.

"I'm here, Deputy Captain Qiao."

In an instant, Shen Xiaoqi was like a flash of lightning, and he slammed on the brakes beside a truck. Then, like a devout believer, he looked up at Deputy Headman Qiao Zhihong who was unloading the load on the truck, and said naively.

Qiao Zhihong was quite impressed with Deputy Regimental Commander Lu, the orderly. So, Qiao Dahan came on stage, gave Shen Xiaohan a complimenting look, and said, "Quick, Sergeant Shen, come over and take it. Unload it first and we'll move it in together later. Comrade Xiao Zhao has to rush to deliver it to Deputy Regimental Commander Shi of the Sixth Regiment!"

"Give it to me, Old Joe—"

Lu Chenting, who came out on the heels, was tall and strong. He raised his arms and spoke to Qiao Zhihong on the truck.

At this moment, Comrade Xiao Zhao, who was in the driver's seat, got out of the car quickly and saluted Lu Chenting with a standard military salute; Lu Chenting, the living devil, also nodded slightly to him, and then Comrade Xiao Zhao jumped back into the driver's seat nimbly.

"Okay, two people will naturally work faster!" As soon as Qiao Zhihong saw Lu Chenting coming over, a tacit smile immediately broke out on his face. The movements of his hands, which were already fast, accelerated instantly, and he said happily.

Time passed minute by minute. About two or three minutes later, Deputy Regiment Commander Qiao jumped off the truck with the same agility. At the same time, Comrade Xiao Zhao in the driver's seat, after a greeting, skillfully started the engine. With a roar, the truck rushed towards the yard of Deputy Regiment Commander Shi of the Sixth Regiment like an arrow.
