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

This is where Lu Xiaohua feels Zhou Ruoyu has changed the most. She is no longer obedient to her words like before.

"It's Brother Changhong. Didn't I tell you last time that he came here with me?"

Lu Xiaohua held a piece of dough in her hand and kneaded it continuously.

She clearly remembered that the last time she was talking to Zhou Ruoyu about this, Lu Qinchuan interrupted her. She was so afraid that her fourth brother would hear it that she kept glancing away.

"Why does he want to see me?" Zhou Ruoyu looked at her coldly.

"Anyway, Brother Changhong is really good to you. He said that even if he saw you get married, he couldn't force you to do anything. He just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding so that we wouldn't be embarrassed when we meet again in the future."

"hehe"

"Let's meet him. He's been living in the guesthouse for so long that I haven't dared to disturb him. I went to see him yesterday and he was drinking almost every day."

"Sure, when?"

Zhou Ruoyu snatched the noodles from her hand: "Don't mess with my things."

Hearing that she agreed to meet, Lu Xiaohua's heart was already filled with joy, and she didn't care about Zhou Ruoyu's cold face: "Then tomorrow at noon, I will take you to his guesthouse."

Once the issues in her heart were resolved, not only dumplings but even a full banquet would not attract her.

She patted the noodles on her hands and walked out, just in time to meet Lu Qinchuan who was coming back with garlic: "Why don't you eat dumplings?"

"No, no, no, I just remembered I have to work overtime tonight to reconcile the inventory. I have to go."

Lu Xiaohua pretended to be very anxious and left in a hurry.

Lu Qinchuan looked at Lu Xiaohua's back with some confusion, and then looked at Zhou Ruoyu.

In Lu Xiaohua's eyes, it was obviously just her fourth brother.

Zhou Ruoyu was thinking that it was absolutely impossible for Lu Xiaohua to hide her hurried comings and goings from a veteran with extraordinary reconnaissance abilities.

So when Lu Qinchuan's gaze fell on her, she responded to Lu Qinchuan's question with a nod: Yes, she came to see me for something.

Seeing that Zhou Ruoyu had no intention of continuing, Lu Qinchuan did not ask any more questions and sat aside, peeling garlic in silence.

The steamed dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage are fresh and delicious, with rich soup inside. As soon as the pot is opened, the fragrance wafts out of the kitchen. Lu Qinchuan, who was sitting on the bed and pressing his legs, couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It smelled too good.

The first pot of Zhou Ruoyu was placed on two large plates and carried to the next yard. Daya drooled and shouted excitedly, "I said I smelled a wonderful aroma. It turns out that Auntie made dumplings!"

Today, Captain Zhu also cut a piece of meat and made stir-fried shredded pork with vegetables.

Zhou Ruoyu looked at the blackened dish and couldn't help but wrinkling her nose. What a waste of food! Such a good piece of meat was wasted!

But Zhou Shufen had been in bed all the time, and Captain Zhu had done his best to stir-fry the food like this. But despite this, the two children were still waiting at the table with their mouths watering for dinner.

When Zhou Ruoyu brought two plates of plump white meat dumplings to the table, even Captain Zhu swallowed his saliva imperceptibly. Without tasting them, the smell alone was enough to make one's lips and tongue salivate.

"Why send so many? Captain Lu has a big appetite and he is in the recuperation stage. We can't let his health suffer." Zhou Shufen frowned as she looked at the two large plates of dumplings that were enough for their whole family.

Because of Tan Ying's matter, Captain Zhu had been hesitant to speak to Zhou Ruoyu. Now he had a chance to correct Zhou Shufen: "In a few days, you will be called Captain Lu. The report has been submitted."

Zhou Ruoyu didn't turn her head away, nor did she smile. She responded to Zhou Shufen's words with a faint expression: "This is the first pot. There's still some left. It's enough for him to eat. You guys eat, I'll be back."

As soon as Zhou Ruoyu left, Zhou Shufen asked impatiently, "Is Lu Qinchuan going to be promoted again?"

"Yes," Captain Zhu nodded, "I heard it with my own ears, it can't be fake."

"Haha," Zhou Shufen pounded the bed with her hand. "I was saying Xiaoyu looked like a lucky charm for her husband. It's only been a short time since they've been together, and Lu Qinchuan has already grown two levels!"

"Oh my aunt, you have to take care of your body. Don't do any strenuous activities and don't get excited..." Captain Zhu was so scared that his face turned pale. He rushed over and grabbed her hand that was smashed on the bed.

Zhou Shufen rolled her eyes at him. "Nurse Xiaolin checked it out and said that threatened miscarriage is not something to be afraid of. Many women experience this symptom, but no one is aware of going to the hospital for a checkup."

"Oh," Captain Zhu finally relaxed his expression and supported her shoulders. "Then eat quickly. You must be hungry."

Zhou Shufen followed his force and sat down on the bed. "It'll be four months in a few days. To be honest, I was confused. I was almost three months pregnant and I didn't feel anything at all. It's strange, too. When I was pregnant with Da Ya and Er Ya, I vomited all the time and couldn't lie down. But this one is fine. I'm fine!"

Captain Zhu looked ashamed. "I wasn't by your side when you were pregnant with them. You carried everything by yourself. You've suffered a lot these past few years. Let's live a good life from now on and raise these three children well."

"Mom and Dad, Jiaozi is angry." Erya pointed at Jiaozi in a baby voice.

It wasn't that the dumplings were angry; it was clearly that she was craving them. In those days of scarcity, Zhou Shufen had raised her two children exceptionally well; they never ate before their elders.

"Okay, okay, since the dumplings are angry, let's eat them. Let's eat them quickly." Zhou Shufen looked at the two children with a smile.

The dumplings on the Lu family's table weren't much better; with Lu Qinchuan devouring them like a whirlwind, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. Zhou Ruoyu propped up her chin and watched him stuff the plump dumplings into his mouth one by one. When he burped loudly for the last one, she put down her chopsticks.

"How big is your stomach?" Zhou Ruoyu looked at him in disbelief. "Where does all the food go?"

Lu Qinchuan picked his teeth nonchalantly: "Men in the military have to work hard in many places. They train the soldiers during the day and can't relax at night..."

"Stop!" Zhou Ruoyu stood up and started to clean up the dishes. He was sure that he would have no good words to say after that.

Who can control this man's introverted and reserved personality?

Lu Qinchuan took a cigarette, lit it, and went to weed the vegetable patch in the yard with a hoe.

Zhou Ruoyu was washing dishes in the kitchen, humming a little tune, thinking about future business plans in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile.

When I looked up, I saw someone peeking in at the gate. It was Lai Yunlong, whom I hadn't seen for many days.

Seeing Lu Qinchuan alone in the yard, he walked over with a smile on his face and said cheerfully, "Old Lu, I got some great news today, and I have to congratulate you!"

Seeing that it was Lai Yunlong, Lu Qinchuan stopped his hoe, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Captain Chen recommended it."

A barely perceptible quirk flashed across Lai Yunlong's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and said, "You were personally trained by Captain Chen. If he doesn't recommend you, who else can he recommend?"
