Chapter 11

Ruan Qiqi just woke up from her nap. She chatted with Old Ginkgo until midnight last night and was so sleepy.

However, the news brought by Lu Ye immediately made her energetic.

“Does your father agree?”

Ruan Qiqi couldn’t understand why Lu Desheng, the damn He Jianjun, who was not a good match no matter how you looked at it, would agree?

Lu Desheng was the commander of the military region. If he didn’t sign the marriage report, the two of them would never get married.

Lu Ye’s mouth curled up in sarcasm, “He never sticks to principles in front of Lu Chuncao!”

The old man’s principles only apply to him. He has no principles for Lu Chuncao, his stepmother, and the two sons born by his stepmother, except for him.

He explained again: “Lu Chuncao is the mother of Liu Hongling and Liu Hongbo, and my half-sister.”

“This Lu Chuncao is your father’s favorite?”

Ruan Qiqi still couldn’t understand why Lu Desheng, who was so strict with his son and didn’t look like a kind father, would agree to his daughter’s unprincipled request?

Lu Ye smiled even more sarcastically, “It’s not that he’s the treasure of his heart, but my dad feels guilty. He left with a passing army just two months after getting married, and he didn’t come back for more than ten years. Lu Chuncao’s mother remarried with her, and her life was very difficult. When my dad found them, Lu Chuncao had already married in the village and was not living well, so he felt particularly guilty about Lu Chuncao, and almost agreed to her every request!” He arranged for Lu Chuncao’s family to move to the city, and they all had good jobs.

Lu Chuncao and his wife both worked in the winery, Liu Hongling was a nurse in the military hospital, Liu Hongbo was in the arsenal, and there was also Liu Hongtao who was also in the army and was now the deputy company commander.

“Why doesn’t your dad feel guilty about you? You had a harder time, growing up on your own!”

Ruan Qiqi blurted out. No matter how hard Lu Chuncao had it, at least she had her mother to take care of her, but Lu Ye was abandoned by his parents and grew up on his own, so he had a harder time!

Lu Ye’s smile froze, and his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and the pain made him breathless.

It turns out that even outsiders know that he is the one who suffers the most, but why doesn’t his father have this awareness?

“He said I’m a man and should be stronger!”

Lu Ye explained lightly, that’s what the old man said.

“You were a child who couldn’t take care of yourself at that time. You needed your parents’ care to grow up. Oh, I’m so angry. Your father… is really a piece of shit!”

Ruan Qiqi was so angry that her chest hurt. How could there be such a bad father!

Although Lu Desheng is a revolutionary predecessor, he has made great contributions and shed blood. He is a meritorious official to the country, but as Lu Ye’s father, he is definitely a bad guy!

Lu Ye was upset at first, but when he saw Ruan Qiqi so angry, his mood suddenly improved. He smiled and said, “I’m not angry anymore, don’t be angry, let’s go, I’ll treat you to Huogongdian!”

“The old man will reimburse!”

He added.

“Let’s go!”

Ruan Qiqi was not polite and went downstairs with him.

Huogongdian is located on Pozi Street, not far from the guesthouse, and it only takes about ten minutes to ride a bike. The snacks here are particularly famous. Ruan Qiqi had eaten here several times in her previous life, but the taste was not so amazing. The snacks in many alleys in Tanzhou are better than those in Huogongdian.

I hope that the Huogongdian in the 1970s can surprise her.

When you come to Huogongdian, you must order stinky tofu, which is a snack that even the Chairman has praised. Ruan Qiqi ordered double steamed cured meat, braised pork, chopped pepper fish head, dragon fat pig blood, and boiled Sanzi. Most of the food here is in small plates and not much.     Double     steamed cured meat, boiled Sanzi, scallion oil cakes, and cured meat glutinous rice.    

Lu Ye ordered triangular tofu, five-spice dried bean curd, cured meat glutinous rice, sweet wine egg dumplings, hot stewed four-in-one, pig intestines, and a bowl of rice noodles.    

Hot stewed four-in-one means picking four things from stewed dishes and mixing them well. Lu Ye chose chicken, thousand sheets of silk, leeks and beef. They are very delicious. Ruan Qiqi loves chicken the most, both vegetarian and meaty.    

Hot stewed four-in-one     five-spice sauce is the rice noodles that she dreams of eating. The chicken thatshe dreams of eating is made of chicken intestines, duck intestines and pig intestines.

The vegetarian chicken is vegetarian chicken. Both are delicious and she never tires of eating them.   

The food they ordered filled the table. The four people at other tables did not order as much as they did.    

They both had good appetites and finished the food on the table. Lu Ye even gave her half of the rice noodles.    

“Burp…”

  Ruan Qiqi burped with satisfaction. It turned out that the Fire Palace in the 1970s was more delicious. Every food was amazing.    

Lu Ye cleaned up the rest and ate all the dishes.     “Are they having a wedding?” Ruan Qiqi asked.    

“No, my dad doesn’t agree to it. He’s afraid of losing face!”    

Lu Ye curled his lips with a mocking expression.   

 Ruan Qiqi burped again, and then said, “You’ve lost face a long time ago. Your father’s brain is not very good, not as good as your stepfather’s!”    

Mo Qiufeng looked cunning and sly, an old fox.     “If he had a good brain, he would be the political commissar.”    

Lu Desheng snorted. Mo Qiufeng’s brain was ten times that of the old man.     Ruan Qiqi frowned. Lu Desheng’s brain was not very good, and he might not be able to find out that He Jianjun had taken credit for his achievements.   

 “Why didn’t He Jianjun get promoted because he had made contributions? There must be something fishy about this. He couldn’t even beat me, so how could he make contributions?”    

Ruan Qiqi directly expressed her suspicion. Lu Ye was much smarter than his father, and he would definitely find out the truth if he checked.    

Lu Ye smiled, “I have found the evidence, and I’m just waiting for them to get the certificate. I’ll give it to the old man later!”    

Ruan Qiqi gave him a thumbs up, and the two smiled at each other, both smiling like foxes.    

“Will He Jianjun be expelled?” she asked.    

“His case is very serious. Logically, he should be brought to the military court, but Lu Chuncao will certainly plead for him. At most, he will be expelled from the army.” Lu Ye said sarcastically.    

“Take me to Liu Hongling’s house when you can. She almost had a miscarriage. I feel bad about it and want to go and comfort her. And Liu Hongbo is also guilty. I’ll go and see him!”   

 Ruan Qiqi’s tone was very sincere.     Lu Ye saw through her thoughts at a glance and readily agreed: “I’ll take you there tomorrow!”    

He would return to the military region in a while and give the evidence to the old man. Tomorrow, Lu Chuncao’s family would definitely be in chaos, and he also wanted to go and see the excitement.

“Okay, I’ll go home after I visit your eldest nephew!”

There is still an uncle’s family eyeing her covetously in Ruanjiawan. She is worried about Xiaoxue being alone at home, and her elder sister Ruan Shuangjiang is now in dire straits. She has to rescue the three of them and bring them home. She promised her original self.

Lu Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he was overwhelmed with reluctance. He was in a particularly good mood these days when he was playing with Ruan Qiqi. If this girl went back to her hometown, who would he play with?

It would be great if Ruan Qiqi could stay in Tanzhou City. He really likes making friends with this girl.

After dinner, Lu Ye sent her back to the guesthouse, and he returned to the military region to submit evidence to the headquarters first. Lu Desheng, who was sitting in the office, had a dark face and was in a bad mood. Although he agreed to Liu Hongling’s marriage, he felt very upset and could only sulk alone.

“Take a look.”

Lu Ye didn’t knock on the door, but went straight into the house and stuffed the evidence into the old man’s hand.

“What?”

Lu Desheng put on his reading glasses and read a few lines before his face turned purple with anger.

“You can go check it yourself. The evidence is conclusive. He Jianjun claimed the credit of his comrades. It was Liu Hongling who took advantage of your power and threatened and intimidated him.”

Lu Ye sneered, said this and left.

There was a sound of things being smashed behind him. He stopped, sneered, and left.

“Deputy Battalion Commander Lu, your niece is married, when are you going to get married?”

The officer who was walking towards him had a good relationship with Lu Ye and joked at him.

Lu Ye’s mind moved, and a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly thought of a good idea.

As long as he married Ruan Qiqi, wouldn’t it be natural for him to stay in the city?
