The day of rebirth and elopement: caught by the military officer husband

Zhang Qingqing was also stunned. The man with a missing arm was none other than Yang Zhengping, who had been setting up a noodle stall at the night market after retiring from the army.

"It's really you, Comrade Yang Zhengping." Lin Xiaoxue walked quickly forward and looked at the man in front of her carefully.

I haven't seen him for a long time. He seems to have aged a lot, but he is in good spirits.

"Comrade Xiaoxue, long time no see." Yang Zhengping smiled naively, revealing his white teeth. "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Lin Xiaoxue said with a smile, "You are..."

"I bought a lot of vegetables for my own noodle shop." Yang Zhengping pointed to the tricycle behind him, which was loaded with fresh vegetables.

"You opened this noodle shop?" Lin Xiaoxue asked in surprise. She never thought that Yang Zhengping would open a noodle shop.

"Yes, I drove it." Yang Zhengping nodded with a hint of pride on his face.

“As this street began to prosper, the night market underwent a wave of reforms. Stalls could no longer be set up randomly, and the space had to be redistributed,” he explained, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"I thought you went back to your hometown." Lin Xiaoxue hadn't seen Yang Zhengping for a long time and thought he had gone back to his hometown.

"Comrade Zhang Qingqing is here too." Yang Zhengping nodded, and then noticed Lin Xiaoxue's belly, and said with concern, "Hey, comrades, stop standing at the door and go in and sit down."

He parked the tricycle and shouted inside, "Wife, come out quickly, the battalion commander and company commander's wives are here."

When Lin Xiaoxue saw the woman wearing an apron, she recognized her.

"Comrade Wang Xiujuan," she said with a smile, "I was just curious about who opened this store, but I never thought it was you."

"Come, sit down quickly." Wang Xiujuan said with a smile, and asked the waiter to serve tea eggs, melon seeds and snacks.

"We stopped running the night market before, so we started looking for work nearby. But as you know, we're very busy in the factory and can't take care of our family, but we have to work too," Wang Xiujuan explained with a hint of bitterness in her tone.

Lin Xiaoxue asked: "Then you guys..."

"Just last month, Captain Lu came to visit us again. After learning about our situation, he recommended the noodle shop to us." She said gratefully, her eyes full of admiration for Lu Jingting.

Lin Xiaoxue felt warm in her heart. Lu Jingting was really a kind-hearted person.

"This noodle shop seems to be doing good business." Zhang Qingqing couldn't help but admire the endless stream of customers.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yang Zhengping smiled honestly.

"That's right!" Wang Xiujuan took over the conversation with pride in her tone, "After all, we also ran a noodle stall before, so it's something we're good at.

Captain Lu contacted Brother Liu Qingsheng for us. After we discussed it over the phone, my husband and I went over there and learned the craft ourselves..."

She described the learning process with great enthusiasm, as if she was back in the early days of learning her skills, and her eyes were shining with longing for the future.

"By the way, Xiaoxue," Wang Xiujuan seemed to suddenly remember something, her tone even more excited, "We also visited your Lu's Food Factory, it's really large. And we're also selling food in our store now, and the sales are pretty good."

As she spoke, she gave Lin Xiaoxue a thumbs up and praised her with a sincere and enthusiastic tone, "You are such an amazing female figure. You are a woman of the new era and a role model for us to learn from."

Lin Xiaoxue looked at her excited expression and thought to herself, well, she has become a loyal fan again.

She was eating tea eggs, and the taste seemed quite authentic, and she had learned the recipe very well.

"You're too kind. I've been able to expand my business with the help of everyone." Lin Xiaoxue responded modestly.

She looked around the noodle shop and said with certainty, "It's pretty good. It's better to have a shop. After all, you have to close the stall every day and pull the cart back, which is a physical job."

Wang Xiujuan nodded in agreement, with a hint of relief in her tone.

"That's right. When I was setting up a stall before, I was exhausted and my back and waist ached every day. Now that I have a shop, I feel much more relaxed."

Lin Xiaoxue was happy for them. Now that the couple had a direction to work towards, and they were working together, they would be able to live the life they wanted.

"Who said it wasn't?" Yang Zhengping, who had been listening to the conversation between the two silently, suddenly interrupted.

There was a hint of gratitude in his tone, "This way we can save some effort. Our family can settle down, thanks to Captain Lu's help. Brother Liu is also a good man. He didn't charge any fees and taught us for free."

Lin Xiaoxue explained with a smile: "Brother Liu's original intention of joining the franchise was to help retired soldiers like himself."

Yang Zhengping was quite moved: "He and Captain Lu are both my benefactors."

Wang Xiujuan looked at Lin Xiaoxue's slightly bulging belly, her eyes full of joy, "Yes, come to think of it, Xiaoxue, your belly is so big now. The last time I saw you and Captain Lu, you were newlyweds, and now you've become a mother."

Lin Xiaoxue also lamented that time passed quickly, "Yes, time flies by so fast."

After a few greetings, they became closer.

Before leaving, Wang Xiujuan enthusiastically gave Lin Xiaoxue a basket of vegetables.

"Xiaoxue, these are all picked from farmers. They are very fresh. Don't buy vegetables from others in the future. Just come and get them."

Lin Xiaoxue couldn't refuse the kindness, so she had to take the basket, but she still insisted on her principles, "That's not okay. It would be embarrassing to come and get it every day."

"It's okay, we buy them in bulk and they're cheap." Wang Xiujuan waved her hand generously.

Lin Xiaoxue didn't respond, she just said, "By the way, sister-in-law, the dessert shop over here and the clothing store over there are both owned by our military dependents building. Come and have a seat when you have time."

Wang Xiujuan was surprised. "Really? It seems like there are quite a few familiar faces on this street."

Everyone smiled at each other and waved goodbye.

Zhang Qingqing carried the vegetable basket back. Lin Xiaoxue was a pregnant woman, so it was not her turn to carry it.

There is a full basket of vegetables, including carrots, greens, cabbage, and beans, with many varieties.

After they got on the bus, Lin Xiaoxue said, "Qingqing, this is such a big basket, you can take some back later."

Zhang Qingqing winked playfully: "I don't even cook. Every day I'm either in the cafeteria or the restaurant. The kitchen utensils are almost rusty."

Lin Xiaoxue held her forehead in her hand speechlessly. Zhang Qingqing's cooking skills were not good to begin with, and now that she was busy with business, the kitchen had become a mere decoration.

"Okay, then give it all to me."

After the two returned to the family building and knocked on the door, Mother Lu saw the large basket of vegetables in front of them and asked in surprise, "Why did you go to the farmer's market? Why did you buy so much?"

"Mom, let's go to Yang Zhengping's noodle shop. These dishes were given by my sister-in-law."

Lin Xiaoxue put the vegetable basket on the ground as she spoke. It was full and pleasing to the eye.

When Mother Lu heard this, she slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "It's Yang Zhengping. I, I know. He was introduced by Jing Ting and learned how to run a noodle shop from Liu Qingsheng. Later, he came to visit me and toured the food factory!"

Zhang Qingqing was listening at the side and was secretly amazed in her heart, this Lin Xiaoxue is really amazing, she can meet acquaintances wherever she goes, and all of them are doing well.

She is really not an ordinary person. No wonder the Lu family treats her so well.

"Mom, I didn't expect that you and Brother Yang have such a connection?" Lin Xiaoxue was quite surprised.

"That's right! We met that time." Mother Lu said with a smile, "That young man is good, hardworking and polite. He came to visit me last time and brought a gift to thank Jing Ting for his help."

Lin Xiaoxue nodded and had a better impression of Yang Zhengping.

"Mom, you haven't even mentioned such a big thing?" Lin Xiaoxue smiled.

Mother Lu said with a smile: "There are too many things to tell. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."

Lin Xiaoxue nodded, and saw Mother Lu carrying a basket into the kitchen: "I'll go sort out the vegetables."

As if remembering something, she turned back and called out to Zhang Qingqing: "Qingqing, come over for dinner tonight and bring your man along."

It wasn't the first time that Zhang Qingqing had a free meal. She nodded familiarly, "Okay, Auntie, I won't be polite then."

The food there is much more delicious than that in the cafeteria. It’s not that the food in the cafeteria is bad, but the food cooked by Aunt Lu tastes like my mother’s.
