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

The memory of the skinny little girl was that she had two pigtails. Her parents left her with him because they had to go to work in the fields.

She was two years old and he was eight. When he went to school, she would sit quietly on his lap.

When others wanted to go to the river to take a bath, he said he wanted to bring some fish; when others wanted to climb trees to pick bird eggs, he said he wanted to bring some fish.

Four years passed in a flash as he carried his baby to school. By then, he had already gotten used to the little fish crawling all over his body.

But the half-grown children in the village began to make fun of him: Lu Laosi is so nice, he doesn’t play with us every day, he only plays with his wife.

He was angry, but when he asked his parents, they generously admitted that Xiaoyu would be his wife when she grew up.

For the first time in his life, he argued with his parents: "What era are you still doing this? If you want to be a daughter-in-law, be her a sister, not a daughter-in-law. I'm going to be laughed to death!"

His father just sneered and glanced at him: "Sister, you already have two sisters! Raising six of you siblings has cost your mother and me a lot of money. How can we afford to marry you a wife? A wife who knows you well is something those people who laugh at you can't even ask for!"

But he was still in school, and the strange looks from his teachers and classmates made him feel uneasy every day. Finally, the school league secretary talked to him and explained to him that child brides were a cancer of the old society and that he should not make such a mistake just because his family was poor.

His father, Lu Fuxiang, refused to listen and, in a fit of rage, chased him with a stick as thick as his arm and beat him. His mother, Wang Guizhen, was completely subordinate to his father. Whatever his father said, his mother would never go back on her word.

Under such circumstances, for a young boy whose voice has not yet broken, it would be a piece of cake for him to cancel this marriage that should not have taken effect.

The opportunity came from a certain army unit that came to assist in building a canal. The unit happened to be recruiting soldiers while it was stationed there. The fourteen-year-old boy resolutely decided to hide the fact that he was two years old and join the army and leave. Out of sight, out of mind, he never thought of coming back after he left, and eight years passed in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the military camp is a place where people can be tempered. At a young age, he relied on his fearless fighting spirit to work his way up from a sentry to the current commander of the reconnaissance company.

The thought flashed through his mind. When Lu Fuxiang mentioned the word "wife", the skinny little fish with pigtails automatically appeared in his mind.

After so many years, are her parents here to seek justice for her?

Seeing that he was indifferent, Lu Fuxiang turned around and shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, come out quickly!"

Wang Guizhen still stood by Lu Fuxiang unconditionally and said, "Haha, they say an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. But it's the other way around. My parents-in-law have watched me grow up, but I haven't seen my husband for so many years!"

The conversation between the couple was obviously meant for Su Hongmei to hear.

The confident Su Hongmei was just stunned for a moment and then she was relieved: they had been standing here talking for a long time, but the wife that Lu Qinchuan's father mentioned was still hiding and not coming out. It was obvious what a shabby country woman she was. No wonder Lu Qinchuan didn't mention her or miss her for so many years, and didn't go home!

Lu Qinchuan was also in a dilemma. He said to Lu Fuxiang with difficulty, "Dad, I'll have someone take you back to my place. Nurse Su and I have some important things to do, so let's not delay any longer."

"Want to run away again?" Lu Fuxiang grabbed his arm and said, "Even if you tell me the dragon is calling, I won't let you go this time!"

"Dad, dozens of soldiers in the company are waiting here. I'm the company commander and I have a responsibility..."

"Uncle, let him go first. Saving people is the most important thing. It's not too late to talk about our business when we get back."

A voice as clear as spring water came from behind, and Zhou Ruoyu walked out of the guard booth with a smile on her face.

The father and son who were pulling each other suddenly stopped, just like the little girl with pigtails running towards him with her arms outstretched in his memory. Zhou Ruoyu suddenly caught Lu Qinchuan's eyes.

But the little girl had completely changed. Two thick black braids hung in front of her chest, and her skin was as white and crystal clear as a peeled egg. The only thing that remained unchanged was her big, lively eyes, which blinked at him.

Lu Fuxiang also let go of his hand, his expression much more relaxed: "Then listen to Xiaoyu, the three of us will go to his residence and wait for him first."

Lu Qinchuan's face turned cold, and he turned and walked towards the jeep, while instructing the sentry: "Take them to my residence and go to the cafeteria to get four meals."

He got in the car and honked the horn, urging Su Hongmei, who was standing there observing the situation, to hurry up.

Su Hongmei came back to her senses and said goodbye with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, let's talk at another time. Qin Chuan and I are going to get down to business."

After starting the car, the jeep regained its vitality and almost sped away without a trace!

"You even skipped the last name and just called me by my first name. What a shameless person! Ugh!"

Wang Guizhen cursed Su Hongmei in her heart, took Zhou Ruoyu's hand and followed the sentry towards the military compound.

Because Lu Qinchuan was a company-level cadre, his housing conditions were relatively better. He had a three-room brick and tile house with its own entrance and courtyard.

The interior was even more luxurious than Lu Fuxiang and Wang Guizhen had ever seen. The toilet was actually inside the house, and what was even more valuable was that there was no smell.

Lu Qinchuan seemed to be very clean. The floor was spotlessly clean and the bedding was neatly folded.

The three of them were seriously visiting Lu Qinchuan's residence when the sentry came back from the cafeteria with four aluminum lunch boxes in his net bag.

There was a young man following behind the sentry. Lu Fuxiang thought he looked familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize him, so he just stared at him blankly.

The young man slapped his thigh and laughed: "Uncle, I'm Qin Chuan's classmate, Lai Yunlong! Did you forget?"

The couple suddenly realized: "No wonder he looks so familiar. What? Are you a soldier too?"

Lai Yunlong smiled and said, "That's right. Through Qin Chuan's introduction, I joined the army three years ago and am now a platoon leader."

"Oh, you're an adult now, you've really made it."

Wang Guizhen was amazed. Lai Yunlong was from the next village and was a friend of their fourth child who often went out to play with him.

Being praised like this, Lai Yunlong smiled shyly: "What's the point? He's nowhere near as accomplished as your Qin Chuan. He's already become a company commander at such a young age. Moreover, the commander is very optimistic about him. He's very likely to be promoted to battalion commander by the end of the year."

Oh oh.

Lu Fuxiang had begun to doubt his life. His son was actually a cadre in the army, and was a cadre who was still on the rise and was favored by the leaders.

No wonder I don’t want to go home. Life here is so good. I live well, eat well, and have a partner to date.

No, this is absolutely not possible!

Lu Fuxiang shook his head violently, suppressing the sudden thought.

Zhou Ruoyu, however, acted as if nothing had happened and accompanied Wang Guizhen to each room, teaching her how to turn on the faucet and how to turn on the radio. When there was nothing else to teach her, she taught her how to pull the rope of the water tank to pump out the water and flush it after using the toilet.

"Xiao Yu, how come you know everything?" Wang Guizhen walked from room to room, touching here and there, and asked Zhou Ruoyu casually.

"My uncle and aunt also paid for my schooling, and the books contain everything." Zhou Ruoyu could only make up stories.
