Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 411: Passerby in the Period Literature 7

The days of honeymoon passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time to return to the army.

In the past few days, Lu Ye and Meng Qiqi have been almost inseparable.

In the morning, Lu Ye would follow Meng Qiqi to the vegetable garden to water the plants. Although he always stepped on the seedlings, it made Meng Qiqi angry and amused.

At night, the two of them would sit in the yard and count the stars. Lu Ye would tell Meng Qiqi interesting stories from the army, making her laugh so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

The night before they left, Aunt Liu brought Meng Qiqi her pickled cabbage and dried beans. She held Meng Qiqi's hand and told her, "If you don't feel used to life in the army, write to me."

Meng Qiqi nodded with red eyes, feeling reluctant.

I have been in the village for more than a year, and thanks to the care of my fellow villagers, I am really reluctant to leave now.

The next morning, Lu Ye tied their luggage to the back seat of the bicycle.

Meng Qiqi took a last look at the courtyard where she had lived for a long time, locked the gate, and followed Lu Ye on the road.

Along the way, Lu Ye pedaled very hard, and from time to time he turned back and asked, "Qiqi, is it bumpy? Tell me if you're tired."

Meng Qiqi hugged his waist, put her face on his back, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, ride quickly!"

After arriving at the county town, the two got on a car bound for the military base.

There were many people in the car, and Lu Ye held Meng Qiqi in his arms, fearing that others would squeeze her.

Meng Qiqi leaned on his chest, listening to his pounding heartbeat, feeling both nervous and expectant.

This was her first time to join the army and live in a completely unfamiliar place.

When we arrived at the army, the barracks were neatly arranged and filled with soldiers in military uniforms.

When Lu Ye's comrades heard that he had brought his wife, they all gathered around to watch the fun.

"Oh, my sister-in-law is so beautiful!"

"Platoon Leader Lu is so lucky!"

Everyone was talking at once, and Meng Qiqi's face turned red.

Lu Ye proudly put his arm around her shoulders and smiled from ear to ear.

The army assigned them a small bungalow, which was not big but clean.

There was a wooden bed, a table and two chairs in the room, and a slogan "Serve the People" was posted on the wall.

Lu Ye put down his luggage and said excitedly: "Qiqi, this will be our home from now on!"

Meng Qiqi touched the rough bed sheets, but her heart felt warm.

As long as I'm with Lu Ye, anywhere is home.

In the first few days, Meng Qiqi was indeed a little uncomfortable.

The army has a strict schedule, and the wake-up call sounds before dawn every day.

Lu Ye was afraid that she wouldn't sleep well, so he always got up quietly.

But Meng Qiqi didn't want to fall behind, so she slowly adjusted her schedule to follow the army's rhythm.

She also took the initiative to help the military families with washing clothes and cooking, and quickly became familiar with everyone.

There is a small vegetable garden in the army. Meng Qiqi used her strengths and planted vegetables with several military families.

She taught everyone how to identify weeds and when to water and fertilize.

Watching the seedlings grow day by day, the soldiers all praised "Sister Lu is so capable."

Every time Lu Ye passed by the vegetable garden, he couldn't help but stop and take a look, his eyes full of pride.

Military families occasionally get together to chat.

An older sister secretly told Meng Qiqi: "You don't know, Platoon Leader Lu used to be very dull in the army, but since you came along, he's become a completely different person, cheerful every day."

Meng Qiqi felt sweet in her heart after hearing this.

On weekends, when Lu Ye is resting, the two of them will go shopping in the nearby town.

There is a supply and marketing cooperative in the town. Although there are not many things there, Lu Ye always buys some snacks for Meng Qiqi.

Once, he finally bought a piece of chocolate candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and fed it to Meng Qiqi, but he couldn't bear to eat it himself.

Meng Qiqi insisted on giving him half, and the two of them pushed and shoved each other, and finally smiled and bit the candy in half.

As the days passed, Meng Qiqi gradually got used to life in the army.

She would prepare hot water for Lu Ye when he came back from training; she would mend his clothes stitch by stitch when they were torn; and she would listen to him quietly when he was in a bad mood.

Lu Ye loved her deeply, and every time he received his allowance, the first thing he thought of was buying something for Meng Qiqi.

That afternoon, Lu Ye rushed into the house holding his newly issued military uniform. The knees of his old military pants, which had been washed white, were still stained with mud from training.

"Qiqi! Try this!" He unfolded his neat green military uniform, the fabric rustling as it rubbed against the fabric. "I've never seen you in a military uniform before!"

Meng Qiqi was sitting in front of the sewing machine mending clothes for military families. When she heard this, her hand trembled and the needle tip almost pricked her finger.

She looked at the brand new Dacron military uniform and secretly complained in her heart: This is not a modern comic convention, how can wearing a military uniform be considered role-playing?

But she politely declined: "I have new clothes to wear, so please put them away. Besides, you have to save your monthly allowance..."

"Isn't my money for my wife?" Lu Ye stuffed the military uniform into her arms, his dark face flushed. "Just try it, just once!"

He looked so pitiful, like a big dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy. Meng Qiqi couldn't resist his nagging and had no choice but to accept the military uniform.

The moment she put on her military uniform, Meng Qiqi was slightly stunned in front of the mirror.

The broad shoulders make her figure look even slimmer, the tight belt outlines her slender waist, and the fabric hanging from the cuffs makes her fingertips faintly visible.

She subconsciously turned around, and the brim of her military cap brushed across her cheek, giving her a somewhat heroic look.

Lu Ye leaned against the door frame, his Adam's apple rolling violently.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Meng Qiqi, gilding the folds of her military uniform. The loose hair behind her ears trembled slightly with her movements, like the most moving scene in spring.

"My wife looks good in anything she wears!" He smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, but his eyes were fixed on her, as if he wanted to carve this image into his bones.

Meng Qiqi looked at the person in the mirror and her husband grinning foolishly behind her, and her heart suddenly felt sour.

As her fingertips stroked the fabric of the military uniform, she thought of the mountains of high-end fabrics in the space. Those silks and satins were sleeping in the secret compartments, but she could not wear them openly.

But when her eyes met the undisguised ardent love in Lu Ye's eyes, she silently suppressed those complicated emotions.

"A man who feels sorry for himself will suffer misfortune for his whole life." She bit her lower lip and muttered to herself. This was just a copy in the myriad small worlds.

The man in front of her always gave her the best even in the most difficult times.

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned around and deliberately unbuttoned two buttons of her military uniform collar, revealing her slender collarbone. "Platoon Leader Lu, does this uniform... fit?"

Lu Ye's smile froze instantly and his breathing became heavy.

Meng Qiqi approached him, following his shadow. Her fingertips slowly moved up along the military medal on his chest, gently circling his Adam's apple.

The chirping of cicadas outside the window suddenly became deafening, and she could clearly feel Lu Ye's violent heartbeat through her palms.

"Qiqi..." Lu Ye's voice was as hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, but it was blocked by Meng Qiqi's lips covering his as she stood on tiptoe.

The sunlight shattered into gold foil on the overlapping figures of the two people, and the air in the room gradually warmed up. Only the slogan "Follow the Party's Command" on the wall witnessed this uncontrollable beauty.

When the dusk dyed the window frames red, Meng Qiqi woke up in pain.

The messy military uniform fabric on her body rubbed against her skin. Lu Ye beside her still kept holding her in his arms, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Lu Ye!" She grabbed the pillow and threw it at him, feeling embarrassed and angry. "You have absolutely no self-control!"

Lu Ye smiled and hugged her back into his arms, rubbing his chin against her red ear: "Who made my wife so attractive..."

His voice was still hoarse as he placed small kisses on her neck.

Outside the window, the call for evening roll call from the military camp could be heard faintly, but it could not interrupt the tenderness in the room.

Meng Qiqi nestled in his arms, listening to the familiar heartbeat, and the previous bitterness and entanglement quietly dissipated.

Lu Ye is a soldier and is too vigilant. Perhaps in front of him, she cannot use the supplies in the space, but being able to hold the sincerity of the person in front of her is already the greatest luck.

She gently hugged Lu Ye back and swore secretly in her heart: Now that we are here, we must make the best of it and walk through the long river of life with him hand in hand.
