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

"By the way, Zhang Qingqing hasn't returned to her hometown, right? Ask her to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner." Mother Lu suddenly remembered something and spoke loudly towards the living room.

"Okay, she's probably just waiting to hear this. I'll go out and tell her." Lin Xiaoxue responded.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxue was about to get up from the sofa, Lu's mother immediately rushed over and held her down: "Just sit still and let your dad go."

"No problem." Mr. Lu, who was cleaning the windows, stopped what he was doing and agreed readily.

In just a few days, he became familiar with the military family building.

He knew exactly who lived here, what positions they held, and where they lived.

He went to call for help, while Lu Jingting came back from the farmers' market, carrying chickens and fish that he had killed outside, and also bought some abalone and shrimp.

Lin Xiaoxue saw that they were all expensive things.

A lot of money was spent on the New Year's Eve dinner, and considering how ordinary Lu's mother's cooking was, she suddenly wanted to eat abalone vermicelli.

"Jing Ting, go buy some fans."

Lu Jingting had eaten vermicelli stewed with Chinese cabbage a long time ago, and knowing that there was no vermicelli at home, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.

Everyone was shocked to see that Captain Lu, who was so majestic in the army, acted like an errand boy in front of his wife.

"Where did you buy this vermicelli? Why are you back so soon?" Lin Xiaoxue didn't wait for a while before she saw the man coming back with Fengshuang.

She took the fan handed to her by Lu Jingting and was a little surprised.

"The chef in the cafeteria gave it to me. He met me on the road and when he heard that I wanted to buy vermicelli, he gave me this big bag." Lu Jingting explained with a smile.

I thought that this much would be enough for my wife to enjoy.

"This pregnant woman has a big appetite, so we have to satisfy her with whatever she wants to eat. If there are some hard-to-buy things, we have to go to far away places to buy them." Mother Lu said from the side, her tone full of pampering.

Lin Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

"Wait, the dishes are almost ready. I'll make you cabbage stewed with vermicelli." Mother Lu looked at Lin Xiaoxue and said kindly.

"Mom, I want to try a different way of cooking abalone and shrimp." Lin Xiaoxue suddenly said as she looked at Father Lu who was washing abalone.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu paused and looked at Mother Lu at a loss.

"Sure, it's not a big deal, just tell me and I'll do it." Mother Lu agreed readily, her tone full of confidence.

"Dad, after you clean the abalone, make a cross-shaped cut on each abalone so that it will be easier to absorb the flavor."

Lin Xiaoxue instructed with a smile, "Mom, soak the vermicelli in warm water until soft, then drain and set aside."

Father Lu did as he was told swiftly, and Mother Lu responded with a smile before turning around to deal with the fans.

"Mom, please help me make a sauce. Minced garlic, minced ginger, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, a little salt, and a little water. Mix well."

Lin Xiaoxue gestured as she spoke, "Lay the vermicelli on the bottom of the plate, put the abalone on top, pour the sauce on it, and steam it."

Mother Lu followed Lin Xiaoxue's instructions and completed them step by step carefully, with an unconcealable curiosity and anticipation on her face.

"For shrimp, first remove the shrimp thread, then split it in half from the back and marinate it with cooking wine, salt and pepper."

Lin Xiaoxue continued to direct, "After it's done, just like with the abalone, put the vermicelli on the bottom, put the shrimp on top, pour the sauce on it, and steam it until done."

Mother Lu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and was full of interest in Lin Xiaoxue's "novel" approach.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the kitchen was filled with rich fragrance.

"It smells so good!" After taking the dish out of the pot, Lu's mother sprinkled chopped green onions and poured hot oil on it, and she couldn't help but gasp.

Looking at the delicious garlic vermicelli abalone and garlic vermicelli shrimp, his face was full of surprise, "I haven't tried it this way, it looks delicious!"

"It's super delicious!" Lin Xiaoxue squinted her eyes in satisfaction when she thought about the taste.

Everyone smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Lin Xiaoqin looked at this happy scene, her eyes full of envy.

Unlike the Lin family, which is filled with chaos every day.

She and her sister are treated as money-losing objects every day.

And Lu's mother is more like a loving mother.

She was extremely envious of her sister for marrying into a good family.

After all, a woman has three chances to be reborn in her lifetime.

The first time was with my original family, I had no choice.

The second time is when getting married, and many people still can’t make the right choice even with their eyes wide open.

The third time is when you awaken yourself.

People like her changed their destiny by awakening themselves.

That’s not right. She relied on her sister to change her fate.

Now she finally understood what Lin Xiaoxue had said before, that she had to become better in order to match a better man.

Otherwise, if you have a narrow vision and a small mind, it would be easy for you to marry any man.

Li Hongye noticed the envious look in her eyes, and whispered to her with a smile: "Xiaoqin, don't worry, my mother is also easy to get along with."

"I don't know about that. It's hard to find a mother-in-law like Mrs. Lu even with a lantern. My sister is lucky." Lin Xiaoqin emphasized.

"Don't worry, my family is easy to get along with." Li Hongye comforted with a smile.

Lin Xiaoqin shook her head and frowned slightly. "Your family and I are not related by blood. It takes time for people to get along with each other, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt well."

Li Hongye was stunned for a moment, then he held Lin Xiaoqin's hand and said firmly: "Xiaoqin, I have thought about this issue seriously. I want to live separately from my family and live in our own little world.

So after graduation, we will stay in this city.”

"This is Kyoto, how can it be that easy?" Lin Xiaoqin widened her eyes, her tone full of disbelief.

She knew that teaching here basically required a local household registration, unless the school was particularly short of teachers.

But here, that's unlikely to happen.

"Let's give it a try. What if there's a chance?" Li Hongye's tone was full of hope. "If it doesn't work, we'll go to the same school when we return."

"There are still two years left, it's too early to talk about this now." Lin Xiaoqin smiled helplessly, thinking that Li Hongye was a little too worried.

Li Hongye thought that two years had passed in a flash.

As they were talking, they heard Mother Lu's resonant voice: "Xiaoqin, help serve the food. It's time to eat!"

Lu's mother treated her as her own daughter, so it was natural for her to order her around.

Then he said to Father Lu, "Old man, if there are not enough benches, go out and borrow some."

"Okay." Just as Mr. Lu was about to open the door, he heard a knock on the door.

It was Zhang Qingqing and his wife who came over, carrying a dozen stools.

Mother Lu said with a smile, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Come in quickly, we can start eating."
