Once they left their house, Lao Lu angrily said to Tan Jianguo, "That Lao Qin is really too cunning."

"We told him we'd treated him to a meal after we helped him build the chicken coop, and not only did he have to wash the dishes himself, but he also dragged us along."

Tan Jianguo, however, didn't care; it was just a few bowls and chopsticks.

"I don't think it's a big deal. Besides, my sister-in-law cooks so well, what's wrong with washing a few dishes?"

"It's obvious you've never washed the dishes for your sister-in-law."

old road:"……"

Who said he's never helped his wife wash the dishes? He's clearly always the one being asked to do it by his wife!

However, he only wanted his wife and children to know about this; he didn't want outsiders to know, lest he be laughed at.

So he retorted, sticking his neck out, "What do you know? Isn't washing dishes a woman's job?"

"What do you know if you're not married?"

"However, you're getting on in years, it's time for you to find someone. A wife, children, and a warm bed—that's what makes life wonderful."

After Lao Lu finished speaking, he arrived at his own doorstep, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Tan Jianguo: "..."

He touched his nose, thought for a moment, and wondered if he should find a partner.

He patted his forehead and decided to write home tomorrow to see if he could find a better blind date.

They all have wives and children, and the other brothers have also taken leave to go home for blind dates; some have already set dates for their weddings.

He can't fall behind.

Thinking about getting back to the dormitory made me quicken my pace.

When Lao Lu returned, Sister-in-law Lu came out of the bathroom.

Several children were in the bathroom; three of them were boys, so having them shower together would speed things up.

Moreover, they are all quite old; the oldest is eight years old and the youngest is four, and they can all wash themselves.

So she brought them water and let them wash themselves.

She came over when she saw Lao Lu return.

"Is the chicken coop all finished over there, Sister Shen?"

"Yeah, I just ate over there and came back. Have you guys eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten. Oh, by the way, a letter arrived at home this afternoon. I can't read, so you should go and take a look."

"What news?" Old Lu asked as he walked into the house.

"How would I know? Anyway, apart from letters coming from our hometown, no one else will write to you. I can't read either, so you'll have to read it yourself later."

Sister-in-law Lu followed her inside.

Then she took the letter out of the cabinet and handed it to him.

Old Lu glanced at the address and confirmed that it was indeed sent from his hometown.

He opened the letter and began to read it.

Seeing that he had almost finished reading the letter, Sister-in-law Lu asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

Old Lu shook his head. "No, it's just that my mother said my younger sister is of marriageable age, so she sent her here so we could help her find a suitable man in the army."

Sister-in-law Lu frowned. It wasn't that she disliked her sister-in-law; on the contrary, she got along better with her sister-in-law in that family.

Moreover, when she first married into the family, her sister-in-law was still young, and she treated her like a younger sister.

They only have two rooms here, one for the child and one for the couple. If the sister-in-law comes, where will she stay?

She thought it to herself and then said it aloud.

Old Lu had also thought of this and was a bit troubled, but the letter said that his younger sister had already come over and would probably arrive in the next day or two.

Moreover, considering the time, my younger sister is indeed of marriageable age. There are many unmarried men in this unit, so it would be a good thing if she could find a good one.

"How about this, when your younger sister comes, she can sleep in the same room as you, and I'll sleep with my son."

"That's the only way then. But we need to be prepared when she arrives and have someone pick her up, since the train station is quite far away."

Sister-in-law Lu had no objection. There were only two rooms in the house, and it wouldn't be right for her sister-in-law to share a room with those boys.

"It should arrive in the next day or two. I'll have the military vehicle pick it up then."

"OK."

-

Two days later, the military's procurement vehicles drove into the military base from outside.

Lu Chuncao jumped off the car without a second thought, carrying a bulging bundle, splashing a small circle of dirt around her.

"Thank you, comrades," Lu Chuncao wrote with a smile, her voice thick with accent.

The car drove away.

Lu Chuncao walked curiously into the military base.

But before he could take more than a few steps, he was stopped.

"Comrade, please register here first."

"Okay, sure."

Lu Chuncao was also visiting the army for the first time and was quite nervous. She carried a large bundle and followed the young soldier to register.

He also mentioned his older brother's name.

After registering, the young soldier made a phone call to Battalion Commander Lu.

Just then, Battalion Commander Lu was in his office when he made the call. When he heard that it was a call for him, he went over to answer it and realized that it was his younger sister who had arrived.

He said he would go there right now.

After hanging up the phone, the young soldier said to Lu Chuncao, "Comrade, please wait a moment. Battalion Commander Lu will be here shortly."

"Oh, thank you, comrade."

The young soldier led her to the reception room next door and told her to sit and wait.

He poured her a glass of water and then left.

Less than ten minutes later, Battalion Commander Lu ran over.

"Little sister."

"Big brother." Lu Chuncao was drinking water from an enamel mug when she saw her big brother and got so excited that the water in the mug spilled out.

"She's all grown up now, why is she still so impulsive?" Battalion Commander Lu couldn't bear to look at his sister like this.

Lu Chuncao, however, didn't care at all.

"Hey, big brother, are you here to pick me up? Where's your sister-in-law? And my little nephew? Are they all alright?"

"I'm fine. Come on, I'll take you home."

Battalion Commander Lu glanced at the large package on the table and asked, "Why are you carrying so much stuff?"

As he spoke, he went over and picked up the bundle.

Wow, it's really heavy!

"What's in that bundle? It's so heavy!"

"These are the mushrooms my mother asked me to bring. They're all dried, and there's also some homemade smoked pork."

"How much did you bring? Don't you find it heavy?" Old Lu said helplessly.

"What's the big deal, brother? Just lead the way. I'm eager to see my sister-in-law and nephews."

"You brat, all you ever think about is your sister-in-law and your nephews," Old Lu said, a little annoyed.

"Hehe, big brother, don't be angry. I just haven't seen my sister-in-law in a long time, haven't I?" Lu Chuncao said with a smile when she saw that her brother was angry.

"Hmph." Old Lu didn't argue with her. He carried a large bag of things and took her home.
