It was already evening when Lin Xiaoxue returned to the military family building.

Most of this time is wasted on taking the bus.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lu Jingting wearing a neat military uniform, with his epaulettes shining with respect.

His crew cut looked neat and tidy, and even more heroic in the sunset.

Even with the constant coming and going of family members and soldiers around him, Lu Jingting was still the most eye-catching man.

Lin Xiaoxue took a few quick steps closer, and when she saw him staring at her intently, her heart warmed slightly.

But after realizing the many curious eyes around her, she pulled him to the side path and asked, "Why are you waiting here?"

"I didn't see you in the room." Lu Jingting's voice was calm, but with a hint of urgency, "I feel uncomfortable."

As he said that, he held Lin Xiaoxue's hand and walked out.

However, before he took two steps, Lin Xiaoxue easily pulled his hand away.

"Although this is not a training ground..." She frowned, "but there are many people in the family building."

Lu Jingting understood her implication and asked jokingly, "Are you afraid of being talked about?"

"We still have to pay attention to the impact." Lin Xiaoxue said seriously.

"Li Hongmei is the only one who likes to gossip." Lu Jingting said casually, but with a hint of meaning, "But she seems to be quite well behaved these past two days."

When Li Hongmei was mentioned, Lin Xiaoxue had the impression that she had suddenly become well-behaved.

I guess she was taught a lesson by her own man.

What the couple didn’t expect was that this lesson was not the same as that one.

"Don't mention outsiders." Lu Jingting interrupted her thoughts that were about to unfold, "I'll take you out to eat delicious food today."

Lin Xiaoxue blinked her bright eyes: "Do you really want to go out?"

"Yeah." He nodded affirmatively, "Let's go to the night market."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the night market on foot.

As the lights come on, the night market in the suburbs is bustling with people, like a illuminated galaxy.

Lin Xiaoxue followed Lu Jingting through the crowd. The stalls on both sides were full of dazzling goods, and all kinds of hawking sounds and laughter intertwined into the most simple melody of life.

"Look over there!" Lin Xiaoxue pointed to a stall full of colorful lights and said with a smile, "When I passed by here during the day, there weren't so many things here."

Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement about new things.

Lu Jingting nodded with a smile, "Yes, the night market is always more lively at night. By the way, I know a stall that has delicious fried noodles. I'll take you to try it."

"Really? Great!" Lin Xiaoxue's face was filled with anticipation.

They made their way through the throng, passing stalls selling sausages, fruit, toys and clothes.

Before I knew it, I was in the middle of the night market.

There were a lot of people gathered in front, and a small stall was particularly eye-catching. That was the stall that Lu Jingting mentioned.

Lin Xiaoxue was attracted by the tempting aroma and squeezed in through the crowd.

When she saw the busy figure standing in front of the iron pot, she was stunned for a moment.

The man was young but had lost his left arm. He was dancing quickly in the pot with the spatula in his right hand.

A woman next to him was holding the handle of the pot steadily with both hands and cooperating with him.

The two of them had a perfect rapport, and under the light of the fire it seemed as if they had just completed a battle.

An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, causing Lin Xiaoxue to step out. She found Lu Jingting's seat and sat down.

"You're not just taking me to eat fried noodles, are you?" She looked into his deep eyes, "He's your comrade-in-arms?"

Lu Jingting nodded: "He is a comrade-in-arms. He was under my command in the army. After he was discharged from the army due to an accident during a mission, he started to set up a stall here to make a living..."

"That female comrade..." Lin Xiaoxue asked.

"His wife." Lu Jingting explained, "When he was injured, they were not married yet. He wanted to give up the relationship many times, but the woman stayed with him. Fortunately, the woman's parents were also very open-minded and did not object to the marriage. After the two got married, they supported each other, which is considered a good story in this night market."

After hearing these words, Lin Xiaoxue was deeply touched: "They are all great and strong people..."

Thinking of this, she began to search for her wallet in her bag, ready to provide assistance.

However, Lu Jingting stopped him in time: "Don't do this."

"I just want to do my best." Lin Xiaoxue looked at him puzzled.

Lu Jingting looked at the busy figures in the distance and said, "We are soldiers, and we have stubbornness and dignity that cannot be erased from our bones."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoxue seriously, "Remember, what really needs our support cannot be measured by money."

Lin Xiaoxue said softly: "I understand. Treating them as ordinary people can give them more dignity."

Her eyes revealed deep respect and understanding.

The two sat and waited for a while, and finally saw two plates of steaming and fragrant fried noodles served on the table.

Lu Jingting took two bottles of soda from a bucket not far away, and skillfully pried them open with chopsticks, and the soda caps flew off.

Lin Xiaoxue looked at the generous portion of fried noodles: the golden eggs, the tempting rosy shredded pork, the crisp and tasty bean sprouts and the freshly chopped green onions intertwined together made her salivate.

This delicacy is really delicious when paired with soda.

Just as the two started to eat, stall owner Yang Zhengping saw Lin Xiaoxue.

After quietly taking a look at the fair, beautiful and graceful woman, he walked over with a smile and asked, "Captain Lu, you finally brought your wife to patronize my stall today."

Lu Jingting pointed to the empty stool next to him, motioning him to sit down and rest, and praised: "Xiao Yang, your cooking skills are really amazing. Every time I finish eating, I will never forget it."

Yang Zhengping laughed out loud after hearing this, "Captain, please stop making fun of me. By the way..."

He turned to look at Lin Xiaoxue, "Sister-in-law, are you here to accompany the army this time?"

"I will be with the army after the New Year. I will come to your place often in the future." Lin Xiaoxue replied with a smile, "After all, where else can you find fried noodles that are so delicious and affordable?"

Lin Xiaoxue picked up a big mouthful of fried noodles with the chopsticks in her hand and put it into her mouth, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

She eats elegantly and naturally, and every time she chews slowly, she seems to be savoring the beauty of life.

Yang Zhengping looked at this graceful military wife eating with gusto, and couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law." He said with a smile, "I've always heard the battalion commander mention it, and today I finally saw the real person."

Lu Jingting couldn't help but laugh and said, "You haven't tasted my Xiaoxue's cooking yet. When you have some free time, you can learn from each other."

"Really? Then I'll have to look forward to it." Yang Zhengping said with a smile in his eyes.

We barely chatted for a while before he got busy again.

After the two finished eating, Lu Jingting casually placed the money on the table and pressed it down with an empty plate.

He took Lin Xiaoxue's hand and walked through the bustling night market.
