Chapter 133: Implicit meaning, right?

"Captain Lu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Salute!"

"Captain Lu, this is your little son, right? He's really chubby and looks just like you. Little guy, why don't you join the army and be a soldier like your father?"

"Let me hug you, you look so cute."

A group of people were chattering non-stop. Lu Mingkai had never seen such a scene before. He was a little uncomfortable for a moment and looked at Shen Meng in panic.

"Don't be afraid, son. Uncle and aunt like you. Will it be okay for you to play with them?"

"it is good."

The moment the little baby voice came out, it melted people's hearts instantly. Several people rushed to hold the baby. Some of them who were also military wives felt uncomfortable seeing the behavior of their husbands. When they were at home, they wouldn't even move their butts when their own children wanted to be held. But now, they are rushing to hold other people's children.

Shen Meng was a social expert. The first thing she learned at the dinner table was to read people's expressions. After she sat down, she smiled at the military wives. They were all military wives, so it was not good to show them a bad face. Besides, her husband had said on the way here that Lu Zhenping was the leader of the army and took good care of them. Besides, the wives also smiled at them, so they did not want to embarrass them.

"Really? When I was at home, I wanted my dad to hug me, but he wouldn't. But now that I'm out of the house, I've become a hot commodity."

When she said this, she glanced at Lu Zhenping with some resentment. The latter raised his eyebrows, but she pretended not to see it.

These words really touched people's hearts, and then some military wives began to agree with them.

"Of course, my little girl talks about her father every day. Her father finally retired and came home, but he is still very busy. Even when he is at home, he rarely holds the child. Alas, poor child."

"Haha, I can tell from the looks of it that this girl is a hardworking, good wife and loving mother who takes good care of the family. Otherwise, how could she be working so peacefully outside?"

As Shen Meng was talking, she stood up and helped pour tea with the kettle. When the person who had just spoken heard her call her sister, she was immediately delighted. A woman will always be very happy to hear a young and beautiful girl say that she is younger than her.

"Hey, how old are you? Call me sister, I'm already thirty."

"Hmm? Girl, don't lie to me. I see that you are only in your early twenties. Although I have been living in the countryside for many years, I still have good eyesight."

The man became even happier when he heard her say that. Others saw that Shen Meng had made a little joke, but they didn't care. The awkward atmosphere just now was immediately dispelled, and several women immediately started talking about the issue of children.

The men also began to reminisce about the past. Lu Zhenping was a little worried that Shen Meng and the others would not be able to chat with each other, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

Shen Meng was chatting animatedly with a few military wives when suddenly a sneer came from another table. The military wives, who were obviously dressed more luxuriously, looked down on the wives at this table. Some of them not only had proper jobs, but some were studying hard and wanted to take the college entrance examination. Some rumors had already come from Beijing, and they firmly believed that the resumption of the college entrance examination was imminent and that definite news would come soon.

Almost all of them are city people, who look down on the country people's habits and loud voices. They find it shameful to hear people peeing and pooping while sleeping on the kang.

"Have you seen the Japanese movie, The Gorgeous Family? It's amazing!"

"I saw it, it's really wonderful, it's worth watching again."

"What do you think about the relationship between the philosophical thoughts of Feuerbach, Hegel, and Kant and the dialectical materialism of Marx?" "It's hard to explain it clearly in one sentence. You are a reporter for a newspaper, so you have contact with many scholars. Can you tell us more about it?"

The military wives at Shen Meng's table blushed as they listened to the discussion over there. They knew in their hearts that the people at that table did it on purpose. They had been like this before, and they acted as if they were superior to others just because they had studied a few more years.

Shen Meng also shut up at the right time, and even asked the waiter loudly, "Hello comrade, do you have dumplings or wontons today?"

"You won't go and see it yourself. If you can't wait, don't come if you can't afford it!"

The waiter had a bad temper. He said something to Shen Meng and turned away. The person next to Shen Meng who had just been chatting with her suddenly had tears in his eyes. They were all the same people, so why did they look down on others?
The girl who had been staring at Lu Zhenping showed joy on her face.

"Captain Lu, your wife seems to be very hungry. Do you want to order some dumplings or wontons for her? If you call the waiter later, he might start arguing with her."

"Need not."

Lu Zhenping took Lu Mingkai and put him on his lap. He knew in his heart that Shen Meng would not sit like this for no reason. Even if his wife was not well educated, she was a smart person. He couldn't let her suffer a loss.

The girl was even happier when she heard Lu Zhenping say that. Lu Zhenping was good-looking and capable. When she went to the army to visit her brother, she fell in love with him at first sight. After knowing that he was married, she was sad for a long time. Fortunately, others told her that Lu Zhenping's wife was an ignorant country woman who was not only aggressive, but also had a bad relationship with Lu Zhenping. Now she saw that it was true.

She said, how could a country woman desire such a good man like Lu Zhenping?

"Mingkai, huh? Auntie has some candy here. Do you want some? If you do, come to Auntie, okay?"

Lu Mingkai looked at the fruit candy in her hand and frowned in disgust. Her mother kept all the fruit candies in the house in the closet. His brothers and sisters and he were tired of eating them. Moreover, this ugly aunt kept blinking at his father, as if she was sick. He didn't want to go near her!
"Don't eat it. My mother said, don't eat anything given by strangers. It looks like candy, but it might be poison. That's how kidnappers trick children."

The girl's face froze and she smiled awkwardly at Lu Zhenping.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhenping, I didn't mean that. I don't know why Mingkai would think that."

Lu Zhenping's face turned dark and he didn't want to say anything. He couldn't even remember who this man was and why he called him brother. He looked at Shen Meng with some worry.

The girl felt complacent, thinking that Lu Zhenping was angry because Shen Meng did not teach the child well.

"Pingping, don't mess around. This is what your brother told you when you came."

Shen Yi glanced at Lu Zhenping somewhat awkwardly. He had been under the captain's command for so many years, and he could tell at a glance what his captain meant. And his own sister might have gone crazy and fallen for his captain, who was a married old man at that.

"Brother, don't be angry. I just wanted to give the child a candy. Besides, Brother Zhenping and Sister Shen Meng didn't say anything. Why are you angry?"

"That's right, Shen Yi, what are you doing? We finally get together, it would be great if we could have a good chat. Ping Ping hasn't changed in all these years, she's still like a child."

"If you ask me, he still needs to go to school. Mingkai looks old enough. If he were in the city, he would have to go to a nursery. He needs to study and learn. He can't be illiterate!"

Shen Meng's eyelids jumped. Oh, oh, oh, this is not implying something to her again? No way, no way? ? ?
