Chapter 513: Why are you adding to the chaos here? You're making it impossible for him to cuddl
"Grandpa, I'm here!"
Lu Yuan stood on tiptoe and waved, but when he saw that no one inside heard him, he walked against the flow of people toward the car door.
"What are you doing? Everyone's getting off the bus, move aside!"
People nudged him, but he didn't get angry. He simply turned sideways and walked inside, and soon he was on the train.
"Mom, what are you doing here!"
Lu Yuan spotted Xie Susu at a glance. Before she could answer, he rushed to the berth, grabbed Qiao Manman's hand, and brought it to his lips.
"Honey, I've come to pick you up!"
Qiao Manman was quiet and unassuming, and apart from her round belly, she looked exactly the same as when they parted in Dong Province.
Lu Yuan raised his hand and gently stroked her eyebrows and cheeks, finally picking her up in a princess carry.
Xia Zhao huddled in the corner, noticing that his aura was even stronger than before, and weakly greeted him, "Deputy Regiment Commander Lu!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard, it's what I should do!"
Lu Yuan hummed in agreement: "Mom, I'll take my wife to the bus station first!"
He then strode away.
"Hey kid, you've really forgotten your mother now that you've married a wife!"
Xie Susu laughed and scolded him before bending down to pack her luggage.
After most of the passengers had disembarked, Xia Zhao helped them onto the platform.
After meeting up with Qiao Lingyue and He Jingcheng, we followed the flow of people out of the station.
Several jeeps were parked at the entrance, and Lu Yuan stood ramrod straight beside them.
He greeted everyone in turn: "Grandpa, Uncle, Mom, Ji Ming, Xia Zhao..."
It's getting late, hurry up and get in the car, dinner's ready at home!
The group nodded and got into the car.
Lu Yuan, Xie Susu, and Qiao Lingyue were in one car.
Sitting in the back seat, he rested Qiao Manman's head on his shoulder, wrapped one arm around her waist, and intertwined his fingers with hers with the other.
His eyes were filled with tender love.
Qiao Lingyue couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Stop making this up. Manman is fine. Be normal!"
Lu Yuan didn't take it to heart: "I'm perfectly normal. If you find it too cloying, you don't have to listen or watch!"
Qiao Lingyue was speechless for a moment before blurting out, "Pah, you shameless person!"
"Having a face is useless, all I want is to kiss, hug, and lift my wife up high!"
Xie Susu wondered if she was hallucinating: "When did you become so cheesy?"
"Shouldn't I be? You've forced me to be separated from my wife for so long, I'm going crazy missing her!"
Lu Yifeng glanced at the rearview mirror in surprise, thinking to himself that the regimental commander had really gone mad.
"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm getting goosebumps."
Xie Susu rubbed her arms: "Your coming back is not only a responsibility to yourself, but also a responsibility to Manman."
Otherwise, what will others say about her? Will they call her your nemesis or a jinx? She was clearly injured because of you!
Lu Yuan kissed Qiao Manman's forehead: "I won't let her suffer these grievances!"
"Public opinion is a fearsome thing; they only want to achieve their own goals and don't care about the truth."
"Tell me, while Manman was away, were there any rumors circulating in the family compound?"
Lu Yuan remained silent.
Although everyone going to the Eastern Province kept it strictly confidential, their cryptic attitude made it hard not to suspect something.
However, lacking solid evidence, everyone only dared to whisper among themselves at home, fearing that Director Ma would catch them and send them away for "education."
The car moved slowly forward. Qiao Lingyue and Xie Susu, who had been on the train for several days, were dizzy from the swaying and closed their eyes.
Soon, even breathing filled the car. Lu Yuan hugged Qiao Manman even tighter.
A few hours later, the car stopped at the entrance of the family compound.
Lu Yuan got out of the car and said to Xu Tianrui, "The people in the car are asleep. Go check on them and try not to wake them up!"
Xu Tianrui nodded and carefully checked the identities of the individuals.
Apart from Xie Susu, everyone else was a familiar face. Lu Yuan registered with his letter of introduction and was then allowed to pass.
The other vehicles were also occupied by soldiers from the team.
Except for Ji Ming and Xia Zhao, who went to the family compound, the rest returned to their teams to report for duty.
By the way, Gong Kairui and his nephew and niece were sent to the commune guesthouse.
After you've rested, you can go directly to the military hospital for treatment.
The night was deep, and many people had already drifted off to sleep.
After parking the car downstairs, Lu Yuan gently woke up Qiao Lingyue and Xie Susu before carrying his wife out of the car.
In the other car, He Jingcheng helped Tao Yingzhen out, her steps feeling unsteady.
Ji Ming and Xia Zhao helped carry the luggage, while the others held onto the railing as they went upstairs.
As soon as the door opened, Da Huang pounced on him.
Lu Yuan quickly stopped him with his foot: "Don't pounce, don't pounce, I'm holding my wife!"
Big Yellow indeed became much more restrained, circling around Lu Yuan and whimpering, begging its master to pet it.
But Qiao Manman was unconscious and unable to respond to its enthusiasm. Da Huang tilted its head, and after a long while, it realized that its owner was sick.
It whimpered and lay down on the ground, its eyes brimming with tears.
Little Flower ran from the next bedroom, flapping its wings and flying toward Qiao Manman, but was pinned to the ground by its paw and wouldn't move.
Lu Yuan carefully placed the person on the bed in the bedroom, cleaned him up, and then invited Qiao Lingyue into the room to take his pulse.
After confirming that Qiao Manman was alright, Lu Yuan came out and reheated the food.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Mom, this is what I got from the cafeteria, please make do with it."
"Once Manman recovers, I'll personally cook a feast for you all, so you can taste my culinary skills!"
Xie Susu nodded, glancing at the dark circles under her son's eyes, her heart aching: "It's very good, very good. It has meat and eggs, and it looks good too."
"Yes, as long as there's something to eat, we're fine with it! We don't eat meat late at night, but what you've prepared is quite good, light and refreshing, just to our liking."
As for Ji Ming, Xia Zhao, and Lu Yifeng, needless to say, they are all seasoned veterans of the cafeteria and are used to the food there.
They ate it with some pickled vegetables and mushroom sauce prepared by Lu Yuan, and it tasted delicious.
The others were still a little dizzy, but after drinking some tea brewed by Lu Yuan, they became more alert.
Qiao Lingyue exclaimed, "The tea that Manman bought is still the most refreshing and delightful!"
Others chimed in, "Yeah, my head doesn't feel so foggy anymore."
They also have a better appetite when they eat.
Before long, the food was gone, and Lu Yuan arranged accommodation for the group.
There's only one bed in the house, so I have to give it up to my mother.
Lu Yuan glanced at Xie Susu with resentment, thinking to himself, "Why are you causing trouble here? You're preventing me from sleeping with my dear wife."
"Mom, you can sleep in the same bed with Manman tonight."
As for Xia Zhao, please make do in the living room tonight. Tomorrow, I'll go to the logistics department to request some furniture to furnish the guest room.
Xie Susu glared at him: "You have no plan for doing things. You knew we were coming, but you didn't know to make arrangements in advance?"
Lu Yuan pouted: "You didn't say you would come to the Northeast! I was planning to ask Comrade Xia for help during the day and take care of Manman myself at night."
"Then, why don't we let Zhaozhao go back and rest? She's been following us all this way, it must have been tiring for her!"
"I was just worried that you weren't familiar with Manman's habits and wouldn't be able to handle everything. What do you think, Comrade Xia? Would you like to go back and rest?"
"No need, Deputy Regiment Commander Lu, I'll stay here to take care of your wife!"
