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

The tapping of a cane mixed with the clatter of footsteps stopped by the bed, and then there was a rustling sound, as if something was being placed on the pillow. Then the mixed sound of the cane and footsteps faded away, and then the sizzling sound of cooking could be heard in the kitchen.

After making sure that Lu Qinchuan had gone far away, Zhou Ruoyu slowly opened her eyes.

Turning around, she saw a pile of candies wrapped in colorful plastic wrappers next to her pillow. She peeled one open, revealing a round fruit candy. She picked one open, and it was sweet and sour, her favorite orange-flavored fruit candy.

This was an era of material scarcity, and fruit candies usually only appeared at weddings and Chinese New Year. The original owner liked sweet things, and was particularly fond of this kind of fruit hard candy. Holding one in his mouth could make him feel sweet for almost the entire day.

After a hard life, suddenly eating fruit candy is enough to add a touch of sweetness to the bitter life. Zhou Ruoyu put her hands behind her head and looked at the ceiling, which was empty. Maybe sweet food makes people happy. The sweet taste in her mouth made her lips curl slightly, and she felt inexplicably happy.

She didn't know what was going on in the kitchen. She didn't feel sorry for Lu Qinchuan, but she felt sorry for the beautiful piece of pork belly. Ever since Lu Qinchuan brought it in, she felt like she was seeing a plate of delicious pork belly.

She got up and tiptoed to the kitchen door. The tall and strong figure was stir-frying. There was a real aroma of meat wafting out. Her stomach growled at the smell of meat. She swallowed hard while drinking the sweet syrup, and finally tiptoed back to the bedroom.

Lu Qinchuan was a scout, and his hearing and perception were superior. Feeling the slender shadow floating towards him and then floating away, he unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips, and worked harder to stir-fry the square-cut pieces of meat with his hands.

Zhou Ruoyu lay back on the bed, thinking about the delicious braised pork she was about to eat, and a sense of happiness welled up in her heart. She was secretly proud of herself: This is the benefit of hugging the right thigh. At least in this era of food and clothing shortages, she can still eat meat. It feels pretty good...

Rough fingertips stroked her cheek, and she slowly opened her eyes. Lu Qinchuan was bending over and looking at her.

"It's time to eat."

"I don't want to eat it!" The room was already filled with fragrance, and her saliva was about to overflow due to physiological reaction. She had to say it against her will, turned over, turned her back to him, and secretly swallowed her saliva.

A pair of long arms just wrapped around her, one above and one below. With a little force, she was sitting upright on the edge of the bed before she could react.

"Mom told me about your grievances a long time ago, including the falling into the water. Those were all caused by me. I left you alone all these years, which is why they had evil intentions and bullied you. This is all my fault. I apologize to Xiaoyu."

Lu Qinchuan squatted in front of the bed, holding her hands and caressing them. He had a calf injury, so squatting was difficult for him. He tilted his head slightly and looked into Zhou Ruoyu's eyes.

This was his second time admitting his mistake today. Zhou Ruoyu looked at him with her eyes that had seen countless people. Well, at least he was not a male chauvinist.

She laughed at herself, not knowing why she had gotten so angry with him. He was the big tree that provided her with shade.

Being away from home for eight years, Zhou Ruoyu, a person from the later generations, didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If she were Lu Qinchuan, she would never accept a child bride or a ridiculous marriage. So what was she angry about?

"Gurgle..." Facing the man's extremely sincere gaze, her stomach unexpectedly rumbled at an inopportune time.

At this moment, she almost used her toes to pick out the word "embarrassment" with complicated strokes.

Lu Qinchuan supported her knees and helped her stand up, then pulled her up: "Come on, try my cooking, braised pork and potatoes."

When your stomach is protesting, the wisest option is to go with the flow.

"You can actually cook."

At least the braised pork and potatoes had the color, aroma and taste. She picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece. It was not very soft and glutinous, but it was cooked so tender that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it melted in the mouth.

"Delicious." Zhou Ruoyu was not stingy with her praise. Even if a piece of meat was just boiled and eaten with salt, she would still praise it.

Lu Qinchuan picked up another piece and put it on the white rice in her bowl: "I know more, and there are things you don't know. Eat, eat more, you are too thin."

No wonder he kept complaining about her not eating enough throughout the meal. After she put down her chopsticks and refused to eat, that guy started to eat like a whirlwind. The braised pork and potatoes were naturally finished early. In the end, he scooped up all the rice residue in the pot, poured the vegetable soup into it, mixed it, and ate it all in no time.

Zhou Ruoyu was almost dumbfounded, but Lu Qinchuan didn't care: "Men have a lot of strength to use. Only by eating more can you have strength."

Well, he has a lot of strength, endless strength.

As Zhou Ruoyu thought about it, her ears turned red. Humans are really like-minded creatures, which is unhealthy.

After clearing the dishes, Lu Qinchuan picked up the dress designs she had drawn on the table and said, "You also have something I can't imagine. The little people you drew are really beautiful."

She snatched the pattern from his hand and gestured with a naive look on her face, saying, "This is called design. It's designed according to the preferences of the sisters-in-law. We'll have to make it like this later."

"Hmm." Lu Qinchuan didn't quite understand. He just hummed softly and walked out of the house. "I'll go out for a walk and help you mail the letter."

Zhou Ruoyu then realized that the letter she had written was in his hand. Thinking that her future career would have to start in the compound, she wiped her hands and said, "Wait for me, I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity to get familiar with this place."

Lu Qinchuan was injured on duty, and the regiment specially approved him for a month's leave. The other cadres had to go to work on weekdays, so Lu Qinchuan and Zhou Ruoyu looked extremely eye-catching when walking on the street together.

Lu Qinchuan, who was leaning on a crutch with one hand, still had a strong aura. He was wearing a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up high because of the hot weather. The elbow holding the crutch revealed a large area of ​​wheat-colored skin with clear texture and tight lines.

Zhou Ruoyu, who was walking beside him, had a word pop up in her mind, full of sexual tension.

"Hey, Captain Lu, sister-in-law, where are you going instead of taking a nap at home in the middle of the day?"

Just after locking the door, they saw their neighbor Zhou Shufen sitting at the door doing some work. She greeted them with a smile when she saw them.

"Send a letter home. What are you doing?" Zhou Ruoyu was very interested when he saw the brightly colored things in her hands.

Zhou Shufen didn't get up either. She smiled and rubbed the needle on her scalp, her face full of envy. "The eldest has to go to school in September, so I need to make a school bag. Looking at you two walking over here, you really are a perfect match. You look so beautiful."

"Schoolbag? Sister Zhou can also make schoolbags..."

The original owner's school bag was a patched army green canvas bag that had been passed down from generation to generation among the Lu family's children. She had no idea that a handmade bag could be made.

When her eyes fell on the unfinished schoolbag between Zhou Shufen's legs, she was stunned.
