The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband
Chapter 140 I Can’t Sleep and Miss Him
Lin Xiaoxue stood there with a thick receipt in her hand.
On the side were Master Niu, who was sweating profusely, and his friends.
She had just paid for the materials and heard from the owner that they would be delivered soon.
Lin Xiaoxue was relieved and followed Master Niu back to the store.
"I'll give you the key now." Lin Xiaoxue took out the key from her bag and handed it to him, and asked, "Master, how long will it take to finish this?"
Master Niu took the key and looked the size of the store up and down. "About ten days."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxue nodded. "I think the wages are appropriate and there is no need to bargain. How about this, I will give you extra meal allowance."
Master Niu and others were flattered after hearing this.
"This is the first time I've met a boss who gives me food allowances!"
"Yes, since the boss is straightforward, let's work straightforwardly too."
Watching them get busy, unloading, moving, measuring...
Lin Xiaoxue felt much more at ease.
She knew she would be busy in the next few days, buying machines and raw materials...
Any one of them would keep her busy for the whole day.
Thinking about having to take the bus every time to go back and forth between the city center and the military family building, the journey is quite far.
Lin Xiaoxue turned around and said to Master Niu who was directing the work: "By the way, Master, can you decorate the second and third floors first? After all, we have offices and lounges here, so I can take a rest when I'm tired."
"Of course no problem!" Master Niu agreed readily.
After all, the client is the boss, and whatever she says goes.
When it was lunch time, Lin Xiaoxue went to a nearby restaurant to buy food and had it delivered.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Here's lunch."
The workers, who had worked for the whole morning, sat around a simple table. Looking at the sumptuous meal, they immediately felt hungry and began to wolf it down.
Lin Xiaoxue knew that this worker had a big appetite, so she added more rice.
She said, "Everyone, take your time to eat. The food is enough for everyone. We will give everyone food allowance according to this standard."
The masters all said that they had met a good boss.
Lin Xiaoxue knew the value exchange involved. If the work could be completed earlier, it would be more cost-effective for her.
So, it's worth it.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoxue returned to the military family building.
On the way, I also bought some vegetables to prepare dinner.
Who knew that when I opened the door, I would see a letter stuck in the door.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxue opened the letter, the familiar and strong handwriting jumped into her eyes.
This is Lu Jingting's handwriting.
"I'm on a mission, so I don't have time to say goodbye to you. Take good care of yourself while I'm away, wife."
These simple words struck Lin Xiaoxue's heart hard.
She gently stroked the words, as if she could feel the warmth left by Lu Jingting in his haste.
Looking at the dishes she brought back, Lin Xiaoxue gave a bitter smile.
This is what a military husband is like. Even saying goodbye is a luxury.
She thought to herself with a self-deprecating tone and put the dishes in the kitchen.
The kitchen was soon filled with the aroma of food.
Lin Xiaoxue casually fried two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.
It was obviously cooked with great care, and the dish came out delicious and fragrant.
But when she sat down to eat, she found the food tasteless and hard to swallow.
"Without him around, it really feels like... something is missing." Lin Xiaoxue said to herself.
When you first got married, did you and the Lu family often live apart?
Why does it feel so different now?
After nightfall, the bed seemed especially empty and cold.
Lin Xiaoxue tossed and turned, unable to find a stable position in bed.
It seems like I have become accustomed to his warm and broad embrace.
Lin Xiaoxue, who couldn't fall asleep, simply got up, turned on the small desk lamp, took out the photo album that recorded her entrepreneurial experiences, and began to look through it.
She was secretly planning in her mind.
After the dessert shop opens, she will buy a camera to continue recording her entrepreneurial days in her new business journey.
When you are old, you will look back and they will all be precious memories.
After closing the photo album, it was still early, the clock only showed eight o'clock.
But for the insomniac Lin Xiaoxue, it was like an unexpected dawn in the long night.
Forget it! Let’s go out for a walk!
When you are tired from walking, you will naturally fall asleep.
She changed her clothes and went out for a walk.
As soon as Lin Xiaoxue walked out, she felt that the atmosphere on the third floor was different.
Li Hongmei is usually very busy, and her nagging can be heard throughout the entire corridor.
She is not here today, and the whole floor is quiet, which is quite harmonious.
As I walked down the stairs, I unconsciously glanced towards Captain Xu's house.
I suddenly missed Wang Guiying.
Wang Guiying is so kind to people and always takes care of everyone like an older sister.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxue felt warm in her heart.
Wander around!
The military family building looks like an old residential area with several residential buildings scattered around.
In addition, there are vegetable plots, open spaces for drying clothes and quilts, and places for carrying out activities.
Walking here, it seems as if time has slowed down.
Just as Lin Xiaoxue was admiring the surroundings, Zhang Qingqing's questioning voice came from a distance: "Xiaoxue? Is that you?"
Lin Xiaoxue looked up and saw Zhang Qingqing waving at her under the dim street lights.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" she asked with a smile.
"Me? I didn't go to bed until nine o'clock." Zhang Qingqing came over with a smile: "It's still early, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to run into you."
"I usually go to bed around eight o'clock." Lin Xiaoxue answered casually, "But I have insomnia tonight."
Zhang Qingqing immediately understood, "My husband said that Lu Jingting went on a mission. It was an emergency mission assigned by the army."
The topic suddenly turned to Lu Jingting, and Lin Xiaoxue's heart moved slightly.
"Yeah..." she responded softly.
Zhang Qingqing smiled ambiguously, "It turns out that you are not used to it without a man making trouble."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaoxue's cheeks turned red.
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" Despite the rebuttal, the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the smile.
Zhang Qingqing laughed even more happily when she saw this. "Hey, we are just friends! It's harmless to talk about it in private."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Sure enough, you are very experienced."
she quipped.
Zhang Qingqing waved her hands proudly, "That's right, we sleep in each other's arms every day. If I sleep alone one day, I really won't be able to fall asleep at all."
She paused and asked curiously, "By the way, you will be busy in the next few days."
"Yes." Lin Xiaoxue nodded. "Tomorrow we'll go buy office desks, chairs, and daily necessities. The day after tomorrow we'll buy a bread machine. We also need to recruit workers. Oh, and we'll also need to print some flyers and hand them out."
Zhang Qingqing's eyes lit up. "A flyer? What is this for?"
Obviously, his attention was attracted by this new thing.
"We just need to find someone to print some advertisements to promote the store," Lin Xiaoxue explained, "and then distribute them around the area. We'll also have to arrange food tastings after the store opens."
