Chapter 75 is not bad.
"He's here. And who are you?" Xu Sui put down the clothes she was washing, dried her hands, and looked at the two of them with some confusion.
Hong Tao, accompanied by his wife and carrying large and small bags, walked into the courtyard and said with a smile, "I am his former comrade-in-arms. My name is Hong Tao, and this is my wife, Li Xiu."
Upon hearing the name, Xu Sui immediately remembered that this person was Qin Yunzhou's comrade-in-arms who worked at the grain depot.
She was about to invite them inside.
The next second, Qin Yunzhou, who had heard the familiar voice from the stove, walked over with his cane. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but feel happy, and his voice became more excited.
"Brother Hong, sister-in-law, why did you bring so many things?"
"Come inside and sit down."
Hong Tao's gaze immediately fell on Qin Yunzhou's leg. He strode forward, his eyes filled with concern, "Yunzhou, is your leg alright?"
"What did the military hospital say? When will it be ready?"
This is a rare talent in the military.
He was doing well when he left the army a few years ago.
In the blink of an eye, we met again, and I never expected that he would have changed so much.
Looking at Qin Yunzhou's injured right leg, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. She tugged at her husband's clothes and said, "Alright, you've asked so many questions right away. How is Yunzhou supposed to answer them all at once?"
Someone is injured; they can't just stand there forever.
"Yunzhou, let's find a place to sit down and talk."
"By the way, your brother and I heard that you got married. Is that woman your wife? She's really beautiful. I've lived for decades and I've never seen a girl as beautiful as your wife."
"This is a belated wedding gift from your elder brother and me, a quilt cover that I embroidered myself. I wish you and your husband could work hand in hand on the revolutionary path, support each other, and become a pair of like-minded revolutionary partners."
As they were talking, Li Xiu walked over to Xu Sui, smiled, took her hand, and handed her the large cloth bag she was carrying.
"I chose some festive designs to embroider, but I don't know if my sister-in-law will like them."
Xu Sui realized what was happening at this moment. She wasn't shy and smiled gracefully.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. This gift is too expensive. You've gone to so much trouble. You could have just come directly. There was no need for such an expensive gift."
As they spoke, Qin Yunzhou, leaning on his cane, walked to Xu Sui's side. "This is a token of Brother Hong and Sister-in-law's affection. Please accept it."
Then, he looked at Li Xiu.
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down."
Tianhua, who was near the stove, noticed that two well-dressed people had come to the house. While Qin Yunzhou was leading the guests inside, she...
She quickly went to Xu Sui's side, looked into the room and asked in a low voice, "Sui Sui, these people don't look like ordinary people. We can't be careless in our hospitality. We don't have any tea at home."
"You boil some water, and I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they sell tea. I'll get some to serve them."
Xu Sui grabbed Tian Hua's arm. "Mom, no need. I have the tea leaves. I'll go in and make some tea."
To be precise, Qin Yunzhou had a lot of good tea.
When she was packing her luggage to return from the military base, she found all sorts of good tea leaves, including Pu'er and Maojian.
She has now put all the tea leaves in the cabinet.
Tian Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go boil some water."
"Sui Sui, you...you go and greet the guests, I...I won't go in. Just call me if you need anything."
She is timid and shy, and is actually very afraid of dealing with strangers, especially well-dressed strangers. Just thinking about having to be in the same room with them and talk to them makes her breathless, and she even stutters when she speaks.
Most of the time, she prefers to stay home alone and do housework.
As a neighbor for many years, Xu Sui knew this about Tian Hua. "Mom, it's okay, Yunzhou and I will take care of them."
Xu Sui strode into the house and smiled at the group of people who were talking, saying, "Big brother, sister-in-law, you sit and chat, I'll go make you some tea."
Qin Yunzhou, who was about to get up to find tea leaves to make tea, slowly sat back down. He nodded to Xu Sui and then began to entertain Hong Tao and his wife.
Li Xiu watched Xu Sui busily making tea, her curiosity piqued.
"Yunzhou, you're so lucky to have found such a beautiful and virtuous wife. By the way, what's your wife's name? Where are you from? I've never heard of you dating anyone before. How did you two meet?"
In fact, they had known each other for many years. They had noticed that Qin Yunzhou was all alone and had no one to care for him, so they thought of introducing him to someone.
Unfortunately, this man was oblivious to everything. He only cared about his work and the military. No matter who introduced him to a woman, he would refuse without hesitation, showing no sign of settling down.
The organization was worried that he would not get married until he was over thirty, but unexpectedly, just over a year after they left the army, he suddenly married such a good wife without saying a word.
Hong Tao chuckled and joked, "You've been so reluctant to go on dates before, turns out you have high standards."
He saw it clearly just now.
This guy's wife is not only beautiful, but also has an exceptionally outstanding temperament. She's definitely not an ordinary person; even the leading performers in the military arts troupe can't compare to her.
Qin Yunzhou glanced at Xu Sui's slender figure as she left with tea leaves at the door, his gaze lingering slightly before he spoke.
"Brother Hong, sister-in-law, her name is Xu Sui. We...we met in the army, and since our families were engaged, we became husband and wife."
"Xu Sui?"
"You mean, she is...?"
Hong Tao's expression changed. He suddenly thought of Gu Shu's fiancée, and then quickly connected Gu Shu and his fiancée, as if their families had a marriage agreement.
Li Xiu knew the general situation, and she was somewhat surprised, thinking she had misheard.
But judging from Qin Yunzhou's expression, he didn't seem to be faking it.
"Yunzhou, is this what happened between you and Gu Shu...?"
The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but all three knew what it meant: to ask if the falling out between Qin Yunzhou and Gu Shu was because of Xu Sui...
Qin Yunzhou dislikes lying, especially to those who are kind to him.
He paused for a moment, then said, "That's part of the reason, but not entirely."
"These things are in the past, there's no need to bring them up again. Xu Sui and I are doing quite well now."
Ultimately, Xu Sui was at fault, Gu Shu was at fault, and so was he. As a soldier, he lacked vigilance and carelessly drank something he shouldn't have, committing a grave mistake. He was not innocent either.
His falling out with Gu Shu, his good friend of so many years, was not entirely one-sided.
As for him and Xu Sui, their married life doesn't seem to be so bad.
