My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Seeing Lu Qinchuan starting the car, Lai Yunlong knew that Lu Qinchuan would never indulge him, so he rushed to the passenger seat and jumped in.

"It's only been a few days, Old Lu, how come you've become a completely different person? You didn't even discuss something as important as getting a marriage certificate with me! This goes against your original intention of joining the army and leaving home. You had such a bright future ahead of you, why did you give in and not persevere to the end?"

Lai Yunlong finally got a chance to be alone with Lu Qinchuan, and poured out all his dissatisfaction in the past few days.

Lu Qinchuan held the steering wheel, stepped on the gas, and had a cigarette in his mouth. The smoke made his eyes half-closed. No one could tell that he was the innocent man who was blushing and his heart was beating fast just now.

However, in Lai Yunlong's eyes, this is the normal Lu Qinchuan. Lu Qinchuan has been in the army for eight years, growing from a rookie to the company commander of the reconnaissance company, all of which he achieved through fighting with real guns and real ammunition.

Every year, new recruits are fearless and difficult to manage. Lu Qinchuan is not used to bad habits. If you don't accept it, then fight. As long as you can't beat me, you have to obey me.

The prestige of Captain Lu, who was well-known throughout the military region, was established through repeated setbacks. Almost no one was not convinced of his professional ability. From top to bottom, everyone was no longer surprised by his rough and bandit-like image.

Seeing that Lu Qinchuan didn't answer him, Lai Yunlong knew that forcing Lu Qinchuan wouldn't work, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Nurse Su is also very sad. After such a long time, you'd have to be a fool to not see her feelings for you. I heard from other nurses in the military hospital that she has taken several days off."

Lu Qinchuan, who was known for his soft touch and unwillingness to be harsh, slowed down the car. One hand was on the steering wheel, and the other hand was free to hold a cigarette between his fingers. He looked ahead and said, "Others may not know why Nurse Su and I have such a good relationship, but you, Lai Yunlong, know it better than anyone. It's all because of those little bastards in my company. Whenever they come back from a mission, they're always injured. The military hospital has a high threshold for admission, and it's impossible to get treated so quickly with normal procedures."

"Then you know that you have a cold and dead face in front of others, but when you turn around and face Nurse Su, you smile like a flower. Not to mention that she is a grown-up girl, even if it is me, I would be suspicious!"

Lai Yunlong became increasingly angry as he spoke, his fists clenched tightly as he glared at Lu Qinchuan. "She's the niece of the wife of the military commander, highly educated, intelligent, and refined. How could she be unworthy of a rough fellow like you? Only by keeping a wife like this can your path to promotion be smooth. Lu Qinchuan, please use your brain!"

"That's a nice thing to say. Just marry her." Lu Qinchuan replied nonchalantly, his eyes still fixed on the road ahead.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're really ungrateful. I defended you so much, but in the end you act like this. I don't know what kind of magic potion that country girl has put on you."

Lai Yunlong was so angry that his face turned red. He followed Lu Qinchuan's path to join the army. He had read more books than Lu Qinchuan and had always been doing civilian work. He was promoted to platoon leader not long ago.

How could a civilian cadre be as rude as Lu Qinchuan? Although he hoped that Su Hongmei would like him, Su Hongmei always looked down on him when she saw him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she treated him like a dog.

When Lu Qinchuan heard Lai Yunlong directly call Zhou Ruoyu a country woman, his thick brows almost wrinkled into a ball.

But he still spoke calmly, "Yunlong, although Xiaoyu and I's marriage was arranged by our parents, and legally it goes against our wishes, as a descendant of the Lu family, I can no longer run away out of responsibility. That would only bring shame to my parents for the rest of their lives, and that is absolutely not what I want to see."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qinchuan added, "Most of the military wives in the entire compound are from the countryside. Out of respect, I don't want to hear any more words like 'country woman' from you. This is good for both you and me."

Was this a warning to him?

Lai Yunlong was really not convinced. He really couldn't imagine what was so good about that country woman that Lu Qinchuan could warn him with such serious words.

But he was also sensible and knew how serious the consequences of angering Lu Qinchuan would be. He had witnessed with his own eyes that in order to protect his new recruits, Lu Qinchuan actually fought with the second battalion commander Hui Yufeng, beating the battalion commander so hard that his head was split open and he had to stay in the hospital for a month. Lu Qinchuan was also put in solitary confinement for a week.

Yet, he was able to gain the unanimous favor of the superiors due to his reckless nature and his willingness to sacrifice his life when on missions. The first thing the regimental commander did during their trip to the regimental headquarters was to appoint Lu Qinchuan as battalion commander.

Lai Yunlong secretly complained in his heart, and finally just pursed his lips and did not retort to Lu Qinchuan. He wanted to help Su Hongmei break up Lu Qinchuan and Zhou Ruoyu, but now it seems that it is impossible to force it.

Soon they arrived at the regiment headquarters. Lai Yunlong seemed unaffected and patted Lu Qinchuan on the shoulder.

"Qin Chuan, you'll be the battalion commander soon. I'm really happy for you, old classmate. It seems like you've had a double blessing. You have to invite me to your house for a drink tonight."

Lu Qinchuan looked embarrassed: "Of course... but... let's wait a few days, Xiaoyu and I are still..."

After just a short time together, he didn't want to make Xiaoyu unhappy by bringing someone home casually.

Although he didn't understand the ways of husband and wife, he had seen many ways his parents got along with each other. No matter how angry his father was outside, he was always very easy-going with his mother when he got home.

He hesitated, but Lai Yunlong understood his words and asked him anxiously, "Did nothing happen between you two?"

Lu Qinchuan stopped the car, held the steering wheel with his hands, pursed his lips and said nothing, but following his question, he thought of that delicate little face.

"I told you, how could you possibly lay your hands on a woman you have no feelings for and yet forcefully bind yourself to? This is the Lu Qinchuan I know!"

Inexplicably, Lu Qinchuan saw a look of joy on his old classmate's face. He frowned as he watched Lai Yunlong jump out of the car with his butt sticking out, waving at him anxiously:

"Go in quickly. When you come out this way, you'll be Captain Lu. I have something else to do, so I won't wait for you any longer."

After getting off the car and watching Lai Yunlong running away happily, he dusted himself off, straightened his collar and military cap, and walked into the regiment headquarters.

"Come in quickly, the captain is waiting for you."

When the guard saw him coming in from afar, he smiled and urged him on. Lu Qinchuan's promotion to battalion commander was a foregone conclusion, and the appointment was just a formality. The news had already spread in the regiment headquarters.
