A whirlwind marriage with a high-ranking official: Lights out, don't force me to take the initi

The next day at noon, in the military canteen.

Lu Weidong crossed his arms and frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him.

Lu Weihua held the enamel mug and scooped out several spoonfuls of soup and meat.

Finally, he picked up the lunchbox and, not even leaving any scraps of meat inside, dumped them all over the rice in his own bowl.

The rich, reddish-brown braised pork broth slowly seeped out, its oily sheen soaking into the rice grains.

She buried her head in her mouth and shoveled food into it.

"Are you trying to eat my food? What's wrong? Don't you get any meat at home?" Lu Weidong said irritably.

"You know how stingy our parents are!" Lu Weihua said indistinctly without looking up.

"We used to be able to eat meat every two days."

"I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I only get to eat meat once a week, my mouth is getting so bland."

"This is great! We can get meat every day." Lu Weihua gestured with his chopsticks towards the cafeteria window.

"So you two are refugees fleeing a disaster?"

Lu Weidong glared at her irritably.

"Pay for your meals!"

"Huh?" Lu Xiaojun looked up abruptly, his chopsticks hanging in mid-air.

"Second Uncle...do I have to pay too?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Ye Wenxi picked up a piece of pork rib and put it into Lu Xiaojun's bowl.

"Come on, Xiaojun, eat more meat. Here with your second aunt, I guarantee you'll have meat every day."

Lu Zhenghua and Liu Xiuyun, plus Lu Weiguo and Li Shufen.

The combined salaries of the four people are quite substantial, so they certainly won't go hungry.

But recently, some news reached the ears of this old commander.

Soldiers are being mobilized to the Yunnan border.

The counterattack against Vietnam has begun.

Although the old man has retired, his heart is always with the front lines.

Without consulting anyone, he announced that he and Liu Xiuyun would donate all of their salaries for the past few months to the troops participating in the war.

It's not that we can't afford meat, it's that we're embarrassed to eat it without feeling guilty.

Soldiers on the front lines were eating compressed biscuits in foxholes, and those in the rear, even if they ate one less bite, were still bearing the burden together with those on the other side.

Lu Weihua was bored at home. He had run out of pocket money and was eating very simple meals.

When Ye Wenxi made that phone call, it was like a lifeline.

As a result, her shout of "Second Sister-in-law—!" was so loud that Lu Xiaojun heard it through the door.

The kid's eyes lit up, and he also managed to latch onto this powerful figure.

Li Shufen initially disagreed.

But after thinking about it for a while, Lu Weiguo realized that spending a few days in the military camp wouldn't be a bad thing.

That brat's grades are terrible. If he wastes another two years, he'll be too old to go to the army.

Let him experience it first, that's fine too.

That evening, Lu Weiguo called Lu Weidong and Ye Wenxi again.

She first shared her thoughts, acknowledging that she had caused trouble for her younger brother and sister-in-law.

The young couple lived in a two-bedroom apartment, and Ye Wenxi also had to do chores. It would be too cramped to fit two more people in the house.

He didn't let Lu Weidong speak; he arranged everything directly.

Lu Weiguo and Lao Chen from the logistics department had a friendship that stemmed from working together in the same training corps back in the day.

I made the call and explained the situation in a few words.

When Old Chen heard that it was to make room for Ye Wenxi, he agreed without saying a word.

Who is Ye Wenxi now?

The leader of the only military-civilian joint construction pilot project in the military region, a favorite of the commander, was mentioned by name at the meeting.

Even if it's not for anything else, we should at least do her a favor for her situation.

There are currently some vacant family rooms available; they're not big, but enough to live in.

The group finalized the agreement in a few words over the phone.

The approval process was streamlined, and the two were able to move in the very next day.

"Lu Weihua, you've come here on a political mission, are you aware of that?"

Lu Weidong had a stern face and spoke in a harsh tone.

"Stop looking at all this nonsense all day long."

He subtly pointed at her, keeping his eyes closed.

Lu Weihua ate his rice without even looking up.

"Aren't you going to look outside, just stay home and watch the two of you?"

"You two are so lovey-dovey, you feel uncomfortable if you don't 'practice' it for a day."

"puff--!"

Ye Wenxi spat out a mouthful of water.

"Second Aunt, why did you choke?"

Ye Wenxi put down the enamel mug and waved his hand repeatedly.

I was so shocked by the thunderous output that I almost buried my head under the table.

Lu Weidong, his face flushed red, pinched his brow with two fingers and took a deep breath.

"...Let's take her back."

Ye Wenxi glanced at Lu Xiaojun and thought: Thank goodness, the kid is focused on eating and hasn't been affected.

fine?

Who is Lu Xiaojun?

Based solely on the fact that he only glanced at Ye Wenxi the day Lu Weidong picked her up from school.

I guessed that the two of them had already consummated their relationship.

I grew up with Lu Weihua since I was a child. There's nothing I don't understand, and nothing I can't catch.

He heard the whole conversation just now, of course.

It's just that the timing isn't right yet, so he won't show any emotion.

She can still pick up food with chopsticks steadily and eat rice with gusto.

"Second Sister-in-law." Lu Weihua swallowed the food in her mouth and raised her face.

"When does it start?"

"I got a lot of materials from my classmates, and you can use them all."

Ye Wenxi calmed herself down and took a deep breath.

"Let's do it tonight. I'll settle you two in a bit, then I'll have to go to the site to work out the usage plan."

"What venue?"

Lu Weihua looked up, his chopsticks hovering in mid-air.

She was unaware of Ye Wenxi's milestone progress.

Lu Weidong cleared his throat.

"Your second sister-in-law."

He paused for a moment, a hint of smugness in his voice.

"They're not ordinary people anymore."

Lu Weihua and Lu Xiaojun both looked up, waiting for what was to come.

Lu Weidong explained the whole story.

Lu Xiaojun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and Lu Weihua even put down his chopsticks.

After listening, the two remained silent for two seconds.

How long has Ye Wenxi been in society to be able to get things done to this extent?

This future, this drive, is terrifying.

Then, without prior arrangement, they all turned their heads toward Lu Weidong.

Brother/Second Uncle, you need to step up your game.

They used to be a perfect match, but the woman's family was less well-off.

If this trend continues, the gap might be widened by others.

"Why are you two looking at me like that?" Lu Weidong frowned.

They both sighed at the same time.

Why....

Lu Weidong was called away by Wang Hao halfway through his meal.

Ye Wenxi made three trips to get food for them before finally feeding them.

Seeing Lu Xiaojun finally put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, she finally understood what it meant to "a half-grown boy who can bankrupt his father".

The two of them ate the equivalent of three meals for her and Lu Weidong in one sitting.

But Ye Wenxi didn't feel sorry for him at all. Looking at Xiao Jun's dazed look after eating, she laughed along with him.

The three of them finished their meal and walked out together.

Lu Weihua was holding Ye Wenxi's arm when she suddenly felt her sister-in-law pause, as if she wanted to turn.

She looked up and saw someone walking towards her.

Tall and aloof.

Her features were so exquisite they were unbelievable.

If it weren't for his face, weathered and roughened by the sun and wind, one would almost mistake him for the leader of the performing arts troupe.

The black training uniform was not a common style; it covered a lean frame.

Even with a loose coat, the outline of bulging muscles underneath is still visible.

"Shh-"

Lu Weihua whistled softly.

He kept pinching Ye Wenxi's arm and giving her meaningful glances.

The target appears at the twelve o'clock position.

Ye Wenxi had nowhere to run.

She smiled at Su Feng and nodded.

As they passed each other, he turned slightly to the side.

He spoke a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The sound was very soft, almost swallowed up by the clatter of bowls and chopsticks in the cafeteria.

But Ye Wenxi heard it clearly.

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

He turned his head abruptly, his brows furrowed.
