After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 57: Is he seriously ill?
After he left, Qiao Nian really felt out of sorts for several days.

Over the past month, she had grown accustomed to having a man by her side. When she woke up in the middle of the night and found the bed empty, she felt a void in her heart.

She reached for the pillow beside her, hugged it to her chest, and then slowly closed her eyes.

I wonder how Lu Xiao is doing?

Once you arrive at the military base, will you be able to apply for a family housing unit as planned? Or will you be busy with missions again?
Did Lu Xiao hand over the letter of complaint written by Qiao Si to the military leaders?
Lost in her thoughts, Qiao Nian succumbed to drowsiness and slowly drifted off to sleep again.

The next day, she continued to study and do whatever she was supposed to do, without revealing a trace of missing Lu Xiao to her parents.

The troops here.

Lu Xiao's application for a family compound has been approved.

It's next door to Instructor Song's house.

It was applied for according to his family's request; it's an independent courtyard with a front and back yard.

The backyard is quite large, about 100 square meters.

The front yard is smaller, only about 30 square meters.

The house consists of three main rooms, plus two side rooms on each side. The small courtyard is bare, with hardly any weeds growing inside.

After spring arrives and the ground thaws, we'll plant some fruits and vegetables in the backyard.

In addition to the backyard, they were also allocated a terraced field on a distant mountain, which they could use to grow corn or wheat.

Although this is a military unit, because the society as a whole is not wealthy, they still need to cultivate some land themselves to try to reduce their social burden.

The land allocated to Lu Xiao's family was adjacent to that of the Song family.

After spring, we'll tidy up the two acres of mountain land and plant grain.

Once the application for the family compound was approved, Lu Xiao began to prepare.

He has to train during the day, so he can only tidy up the yard during his lunch break and after get off work in the evening.

His daughter has been pampered since she was a child, and even though conditions are now limited, Lu Xiao still wants her to live as comfortably as possible.

Seeing Lu Xiao busy running around, Song Ming couldn't help but tease him.

"Old Lu, this family compound belongs to the military and we'll have to return it to them later. You've gone through so much trouble to clean it up; won't you feel bad about returning it?"

As Lu Xiao laid bricks in the yard, he answered Song Ming without looking up, "It's alright, tidying it up will make it more comfortable to live in."

"You don't seem like the kind of person who's so particular."

Looking at the bricks covering the muddy ground in the front yard, Song Ming began to wonder who Lu Xiao's girlfriend was.

"Your sister-in-law requested this?"

Song Ming asked Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao reached for a brick further away, "No."

"Keep the front yard clean so it will be easier for the children to play there."

I was originally going to ask about Song Ming...?

child?

Old Lu went back to recuperate for more than a month, and now he's pregnant?
"Did you go back to recover from your injury, or did you go back to have a baby?"

Curious, Song Ming squatted down to help Lu Xiao hand over the bricks.

While helping, they also asked questions.

Lu Xiao's thin lips curved into a slight smile, but he did not answer Song Ming's question.

But his attitude was tantamount to acquiescence.

Song and Ming Dynasties...

Row.

He had worked with Lao Lu for many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen Lao Lu so relaxed.

"Besides paving the yard with bricks, what else do you need to do?"

"Paint the walls, paint the windows, reinforce the roof, and clean the toilets."

There's also a large area in the backyard; we'll pave some bricks near the house, and use the rest of the land to grow vegetables.

They can raise chickens, and they'll raise a few more, so that the eggs that Nian Nian wants to eat will be available at home.

They want to renovate the toilet and build a bathroom behind the master bedroom, with a small door that allows direct access back to the room. That way, they won't have to worry about showering in the rain or getting cold in winter...

Lu Xiao calculated in his mind that it would take at least a month to finish cleaning all this up.

He won't be able to see Niannian for more than a month...

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao quickened his pace.

He needs to get everything ready as soon as possible and bring Niannian over.

It's better for a woman to have a baby in the family compound than in the village. Lu Xiao was busy day and night, and everyone else in the unit knew that Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's family was coming.

Time flies by in the midst of our busy lives; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xiao's yard is almost finished.

With the day of his reunion with Niannian drawing ever closer, Lu Xiao was in a very good mood.

There is no training on Sunday.

He got up before five o'clock, did his morning exercise as usual, had breakfast in the canteen, and then went to the family compound to tidy up the yard.

As soon as I stepped out of the canteen, someone blocked my way.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Lu!"

The other side came on strong.

Lu Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at the woman blocking his way.

"Where are you?"

His voice was devoid of any emotion.

Shen Yuqing did not expect Lu Xiao's attitude to be so cold.

Especially Lu Xiao's cold, icy gaze made her heart tighten.

She paused, swallowed the harsh words that were about to come out, and changed to a relatively gentle tone.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, I am Xiaojing's colleague."

"do not know."

Lu Xiao answered very decisively.

Without any hesitation.

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Busy tidying up the family compound, he had no leisure time to waste with unrelated people.

Shen Yuqing's words were cut off again. She twitched her lips, refusing to move aside.

"Don't you know me? Don't you know Xiaojing? She's liked you for so many years, and this is how you treat her?"

"Your partner?"

Lu Xiao's eyelids twitched, and he asked the woman who was pointing and gesturing at him again, "Do I know you well?"

Shen Yuqing...

How could Lu Xiao be this kind of person?
Even though he is young and promising, the youngest deputy regimental commander in the army, and good-looking with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his personality is really annoying!

Why would Xiaojing like someone like that?

Shen Yuqing couldn't understand it.

Lu Xiao didn't give her time to figure it out.

He had already turned and left.

Seeing this, Shen Yuqing had no choice but to hurry after him again, and even tried to reach out and grab Lu Xiao's arm.

Lu Xiao stepped aside, and Shen Yuqing missed his arm and almost tripped.

"Deputy Regiment Commander Lu!"

Shen Yuqing was very angry.

She glared at Lu Xiao after regaining her footing, "Don't go too far."

Lu Xiao glanced at the furious Shen Yuqing and rudely told her to get out of the way.

Shen Yuqing!!!
I'm so angry! I'm absolutely furious!
"Why would Xiaojing like someone like you?!"

Shen Yuqing went berserk!
Lu Xiao didn't care at all.

He didn't even spare Shen Yuqing a glance.

He walked away on his own to work in the family compound, tidying up his and his wife's home.

What no one expected was that Shen Yuqing, for some unknown reason, actually chased after him to the family compound.

She made a huge fuss, demanding an explanation from Lu Xiao.

Song Ming, who was at home next door, was drawn out by the noise.

Upon seeing Shen Yuqing, he frowned and stepped forward. "Comrade Shen, what do you mean by that?"

"When did Deputy Regiment Commander Lu offend you? What explanation do you want from him?"
