Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 111

“Now our child is playing with that family’s children. The kindergarten here is close, it’s really convenient.”

“You must tell Lao Lu that since he married such a beautiful wife, he must love her and take care of her. When you have a family, you should care more about your wife.”

“To be honest, I admire Xiao Qin. Her man doesn’t come home very often, and she takes care of the family so well. I should learn from her.”

As Zhou Menglan thought more, she admired Qin Rou. As for Lao Lu that Head Chief Lin mentioned, she thought that this beautiful Xiao Qin must be living a very difficult life in the past. How could she marry a man so much older than her if it wasn’t for that?

Head Chief Lin’s scalp was numb, “…Let’s talk about that later, I’ve been busy lately.”

“You men, when you’re busy, you don’t care about your family.”

Zhou Menglan still planned to invite Lao Lu’s family to come to their house for dinner. The next evening, she saw a young and handsome male officer walking in the colony’s courtyard with Xiao Qin. They seemed to be planning to go to the beach.

The man was wearing a white military uniform, and his facial features were exceptionally handsome. The sword eyebrows and star eyes under the white hat looked like they were plated with a layer of golden light under the evening light, which made him even more handsome.

His arms were protecting the woman beside him, the woman’s belly was bulging, and the long black hair was pulled back, revealing a face as rich and colourful as an oil painting.

Her eyes looked extraordinarily beautiful in the setting sun.

As a woman, Zhou Menglan couldn’t help but look at the handsome little brother in military uniform on weekdays, but at that moment, Zhou Menglan’s eyes couldn’t help falling on that pretty woman.

She really looked so gorgeous and charming, even a woman couldn’t help but appreciate that kind of beauty.

Although she didn’t necessarily like the look, she thought it was beautiful.

It was Xiao Qin, Lao Lu’s wife.

Xiao Qin was not only beautiful, but also had a good voice. It was said that she used to sing in the art troupe, but now she was an announcer and had an enviable good voice.

It was just… how could she be so intimate with the handsome man beside her?

Wasn’t she Lao Lu’s wife?

Zhou Menglan was stunned, but when Qin Rou saw her, she took the initiative to greet her, “Sister Zhou, this is my Lao Lu!!”

Qin Rou emphasised Lao Lu.

Zhou Menglan: “?!!!!” This is Lao Lu?!!!!

“Your Lao Lu looks really young.”

Qin Rou smiled, “He is quite young. He is in his late twenties, but he still looks like an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old young man.”

There were quite a lot of young men in the base. Early every morning, she would run on hills and stand on a high point. She was very willing to go out and see a group of young men doing morning exercises.

Tsk, tsk…

But this kind of benefit was generally only enjoyed by young girls. As a married woman, it   was embarrassing to watch such a thing.

Qin Rou was actually a little curious about how the soldiers were doing exercises on the beach, but she was embarrassed to watch them. When she told Lu Yan about it, he got jealous.

“I’ll do it for you.”

He would do it for her personally, and he implemented the word “doing” to the end.

Qin Rou: “…” I won’t dare to mention it.

“He is almost thirty, then he’s younger than my Lao Lin. Is he in his twenties now?” Zhou Menglan was stunned. How could he be  younger than Lao Lin?

Wasn’t this Comrade Lu? He didn’t seem to be too old.

Lu Yan said lightly, “Twenty-six.”

“This…you’re so young?!” Zhou Menglan wondered whether the man in front of her was the Lao Lu that Lao Lin talked about.

It turned out that Lao Lu was so young.

Zhou Menglan: “…”

“Lao Lu, bring Xiao Qin to our house for dinner, I have to thank Xiao Qin…”

After separating from them, Zhou Menglan seriously inquired about the husband and wife. It turned out that it was her Lao Lin who spread rumors behind the scenes.

“Tsk,tsk, tsk.”

Head Chief Lin was cheeky, “What did I say? I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? I usually call him Lao Lu very kindly.” 

“If your looks were half as good as Lao Lu, let alone the second child, I would help you have a third child and a fourth child.”

Head Chief Lin almost choked on a sip of tea, “You woman, what are you saying??!!”
