Chapter 150 Wife’s Secret

Now He Qiaojin was finally not so excited anymore, she just tilted her head to look at her baby from time to time.

Su Zhuzhu didn't fall asleep either. She lay down for a while and recovered. After all, nothing really happened. She met He Qiaojin's gaze from time to time, and their eyes were fixed on each other, full of love.

He Qiaojin couldn't help but hold his wife's hand with his right hand and drove with only one hand. They held hands from time to time and looked at each other. The road that was originally bumpy and unbearable actually returned to the Red Star Brigade very quickly.

Looking at the familiar green belt outside and the black and white ink painting-like village in the distance, Su Zhuzhu felt a sense of joy from the inside out.

"He Qiaojin, do you know that the new house and the road plan were designed by me? The road was designed and built a long time ago. If you want to be rich, you must build roads first. Only when the roads are built can the valuable things in the countryside be transported out and exchanged for more valuable things to increase income. However, the design of the house was drawn in the military family compound."

"You painted it every night when you stayed in the study and worked overtime?"

"Well, sometimes I draw designs during the day. I have a lot of time after you go to work, so I basically finish the drawings at that time. After I come back, the team will hold a meeting to discuss it. Finally, after revising it a few times, we will start the work."

"Wife, I think you are amazing. I know that you took the lead in building the two processing plants in the brigade, and you provided the formula and your own connections for free. Privately, people say that educated youth go to the countryside to suffer, but you let everyone see the difference. You have proved the correctness of the policy. Only by truly devoting yourself to this revolution and truly starting from the interests of the group can you achieve such achievements. And most importantly, you must have your own real ability. With your real ability, you have realized the ideal of building the countryside and serving the motherland. Wife, you are my lifelong pride! The people here will always remember you."

Su Zhuzhu didn't expect that Deputy Captain He, who used to be cold-blooded but later became shameless, could actually say such words to her. It really made her look at him with new eyes. This man is indeed excellent to the core. What can be seen on the outside cannot represent a person's inner qualities.

"Hubby, you make me very proud. Although I cannot ask about your specific job, I know you are an excellent one. I know it from the scars on your body."

He Qiaojin tilted his head and glanced at Su Zhuzhu.

"What does hubby mean? Is that how you address me?"

Su Zhuzhu chuckled.

"Do you like it? Husband means you are my husband, my partner. Calling you husband means calling you dear. Do you like it?"

He Qiaojin nodded fiercely.

"I like it. I like it very much. Wife, you should call me like this from now on. Don't call me Lao He or anything like that. That makes me sound old. You are still so young. I don't want to look old in front of you."

Su Zhuzhu couldn't help but want to tease this man.

"My husband is not old at all, he is still strong and healthy, who said he is old!"

He Qiaojin couldn't stand the stimulation from his wife and couldn't help but grind his teeth.

"Just wait for me, little goblin!"

Su Zhuzhu didn't expect that just one sentence would make people angry, so she quickly shut up and changed the subject. Fortunately, they arrived at the team soon, and after turning two corners, the car stopped steadily at the door of Su Zhuzhu's room.

After getting off the car, Su Zhuzhu went to open the door. He Qiaojin was busy moving things. He had no choice but to buy another full car.

After packing up everything, it was still early, so the two of them took the candies and cigarettes that they were going to distribute to the team, and starting from the village entrance, they began to distribute the candies and cigarettes to each family one by one.

The entire Red Star Brigade benefited greatly from Su Zhuzhu. The people here were originally simple and honest, and now that they saw that Su Zhuzhu and He Qiaojin had obtained their marriage certificate, they gave them all kinds of nice things as if they were free. What's more, the young couple were not stingy at all. Every household was given handfuls of loose candy, and one family even gave a pack of cigarettes. This was better than having a banquet. Who would give out so many cigarettes at a wedding? And they were good cigarettes, the kind that no one smoked normally, they only heard about from others.

For a while, all the idle people in the brigade came out to join in the fun. The couple carried a lot of sugar, which was very heavy, so everyone helped the couple carry things and accompanied them to visit every household in the brigade.

Finally, they arrived at the brigade headquarters and the processing plant. There was not enough sugar to distribute, so He Qiaojin took his helpers back to the educated youth institute to get more.

Everyone was happy for the young couple who had finally gotten married after so many twists and turns. Although no one asked, they could see how Su Zhuzhu felt during this period. They could only care about her silently, and no one would ask about things that Su Zhuzhu didn't want to talk about.

Now looking at this pair of handsome man and beautiful woman standing together, He Qiaojin's military uniform is neat and straight, he looks heroic, while Su Zhuzhu is elegant and generous, soft and delicate, everyone is amazed, and all kinds of blessings are thrown at them, which makes the usually cold He Qiaojin's mouth never relax.

After a while of excitement, when all the team members had left, He Qiaojin and Su Zhuzhu told their close friends about their plan to treat them to a meal tomorrow. They asked everyone to go to the Youth League Institute for their wedding banquet after work and have a simple celebration.

Originally the team leader disagreed. Su Zhuzhu was now considered the number one hero of their team. Everyone had long regarded Su Zhuzhu and this group of educated youth as their own and were not at all xenophobic. Now the number one hero of their Red Star team was getting married, and they had to hold a good wedding in the team. The team leader even wanted the money for the wedding banquet to be paid by the team headquarters so that everyone could have a good time.

Su Zhuzhu quickly stopped him.

"Captain, I know your good intentions, and I also know that everyone is good to me, but we have only obtained the marriage certificate, so it is better to keep a low profile. Everyone gets married with a simple meal, but don't let me spoil the low-key and pragmatic atmosphere of our team. That is unacceptable. Besides, we are building a processing plant, repairing roads, and rebuilding houses, which has already attracted the jealous eyes of many people. It is not appropriate to hold a big banquet just for my wedding. What if someone with jealous eyes reports that our team is extravagant and wasteful, then the impact will be great."

He Qiaojin also meant this.

"Captain, Zhuzhu is right. We have received everyone's thoughts and blessings for us. Look at how lively it is today. It's no worse than having a wedding banquet. Who can get the marriage certificate with the treatment that Zhuzhu and I have? We also appreciate your thoughts. There is really no need for a big wedding banquet. Just come over for a simple meal tomorrow."

The team leader's status in the commune has risen sharply now, because the profits from the two processing plants have been handed over, adding a large amount of income to the commune, and this is every quarter. In the past, the commune was too stingy to dare to spend money, but now the commune has its own money and is confident. Construction is going on in full swing, and the processing plants of the Red Star Brigade have earned a lot of face for the commune. These are great political achievements. No leader will not support them. He is not afraid even if he is reported for holding a wedding banquet. It's just that Zhuzhu and her husband said so, and it's hard to force them. It's right for them to keep a low profile, and it's also for the sake of the brigade.

After everyone was notified, He Qiaojin borrowed the brigade headquarters' phone and called Lin Wu directly.

It just so happened that Lin Wu had just finished training today and had just finished his lunch, and was near the office building. The person who answered the phone saw Lin Wu at a glance and quickly called him up.

Lin Wu thought it was Su Zhuzhu calling him, but when he heard it was He Qiaojin's voice, he was quite excited.

"Brother Qiao Jin, you finally have a letter! Did you receive the letter I sent you? If you don't hear from me again, you can't blame anyone else if Zhuzhu is kidnapped."

"Lin Wu, are you asking for trouble? When I'm not around, you should keep an eye on your sister-in-law. You should chase away all those cats and dogs as far as you can. Do I need to explain this to you?"

"Hehe, brother, this can't be helped. After all, he is my leader. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. I am trying to make a living under someone else's hands! Besides, Zhuzhu is stable. She has no interest in our leader at all. It's you. You are always away and have conflicts with Zhuzhu. Who can stand this? Even if it's not me, it will be someone else in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and don't even look at where I'm calling you from."

"Where, where are you? Did you just return to the army after a mission?"

He Qiaojin didn't waste any words.

"I'm at your sister-in-law's place. Your sister-in-law and I got the certificate today. Come early tomorrow to help. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Damn it! Brother Qiao Jin is really capable! Either there is no news, or he arrested the person as soon as there is news. It is my brother Qiao Jin's usual style, decisive and quick. Poor my captain, he is heartbroken."

He Qiaojin was so angry that his teeth were itching. If Lin Wu was here, he would definitely give him a good beating.

"Give Zhu a message and ask him to come over for the wedding tomorrow night. I'll be waiting for him!"

A loud laugh came from the receiver, and after a while, Lin Wu's voice came through.

"Brother Qiao Jin, this is your main point! Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the message, but I can't guarantee whether the person will come or not."

After hanging up the phone, He Qiaojin went to the health center with Su Zhuzhu. They had to specially notify Doctor Peng, after all, he was Su Zhuzhu's master and the only elder of Su Zhuzhu here.

After agreeing with her master that she would bring her master's wife over for dinner the next day, Su Zhuzhu also took two days off. After all, she was newlywed, so Dr. Peng waved his hand and let her make her own arrangements as the clinic was not busy during that time anyway.

The two returned to the Youth League Institute. Su Zhuzhu was about to cook dinner when she found a note left by Liu Yuanyuan in the kitchen. Liu Yuanyuan said that she would be sharing the big kitchen for the time being and would not be joining Su Zhuzhu and He Qiaojin. She wanted them to enjoy their sweet world together and she promised not to disturb them and let them do as they pleased.

Su Zhuzhu felt that this sister was really considerate. Sometimes He Qiaojin was too noisy and it was easy to lose track of time when cooking. Her sister was so considerate of her. When Liu Yuanyuan got married in the future, she would definitely give her a big gift.

He Qiaojin looked at Su Zhuzhu holding a note and laughing so hard that she moved forward.

"What are you looking at? You look so happy!"

Su Zhuzhu took the note, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it directly into the stove.

He Qiaojin: “Uh…” My wife has a secret and doesn’t tell me, how pitiful!

"What do you want to eat tonight? I promised to make it for you."

Su Zhuzhu was happy to coax this man today. Even if he wanted to eat Australian lobster, she would make it for him today.

He Qiaojin's eyes lit up.

"Wife, you are the one I want to eat the most. You know that."

"Get lost! I won't ask you any more questions. Go and light a fire."

Seeing that his wife was angry, He Qiaojin quickly went to light the fire and cook first.

Su Zhuzhu was thinking, now that they have obtained their marriage certificate and are going to be together for the rest of their lives, should she share her secret with He Qiaojin?

Finally she decided to test the man first.

Sure enough, after Su Zhuzhu went to the room, she brought back a bunch of grapes, half a watermelon, a live black fish, seven or eight prawns longer than his palm, a large piece of braised beef, and a salt-baked chicken. He recognized this, as he had eaten it before when He's mother and Lin Wu brought it back to Beijing. It was salty, fragrant and chewy, and left a deep impression on him.

"Wife, where did all these come from? Why didn't I see them? Are there grapes and watermelons in this season?"

He Qiaojin was full of doubts. It was his good habit to ask when he didn't understand something.

"Don't ask yet. I'll tell you in the evening. Let's finish dinner first."

Su Zhuzhu first washed the grapes and cut the watermelon, and let He Qiaojin eat the fruit while making a fire.

He Qiaojin was obedient. The purple grapes were just picked, very fresh, big and sweet. The watermelon was also delicious. How could the watermelon be so delicious? He had never eaten such delicious fruit before. Since coming to his wife's place, it was like opening a new door to the fruit world. He even wondered if his wife was a hidden agricultural expert who could cultivate so many excellent fruits by herself and make them mature ahead of time.

After all, it was the first meal of the newlyweds, and Su Zhuzhu cooked it very attentively. It’s just that the appetite of the two of them was limited, otherwise she would definitely prepare more delicious dishes. However, there is still a long time to come, and she would slowly cook for her beloved man in the future.

Dinner consisted of steamed grouper, steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, salt-baked chicken, and a cold dish of braised beef with peanuts and coriander. Finally, they also stir-fried some seasonal loofah, half in soup and half stir-fried. It was more than enough for two people. A grouper weighed two pounds, and the shrimps were almost half a pound each. The salt-baked chicken was made in advance and weighed about three pounds. The beef was nearly two pounds, and with fruits and other things, Su Zhuzhu felt that they might not be able to finish it.

By the time the dishes were served, He Qiaojin was so drunk with the smell. Fortunately, Su Zhuzhu kept reminding him not to eat too much fruit, so that he would not be unable to finish dinner, otherwise all the delicious food on the table would be wasted.
