Chapter 107 The thought of holding her in my arms finally came true
In the army political commissar Zhang's office, Chu Xingchen was reporting to him the results of the afternoon gun test. As soon as he started, Commander Yao walked in from the door.
Political Commissar Zhang and Chu Xingchen quickly stood up to greet them. Commander Yao waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chu, continue, I'll listen too."
"Yes."
Chu Xingchen replied and continued talking.
Commander Yao and Political Commissar Zhang listened with great interest.
After Chu Xingchen finished his report, Commander Yao sighed: "Xiao Chu, after hearing what you said, I want to try this sniper rifle."
Political Commissar Zhang also said: "After listening to what Xiao Chu said, I regret not going to the shooting range today."
Commander Yao suddenly asked: "By the way, Xiao Chu, I heard that this sniper was designed by your wife?"
Chu Xingchen replied: "Yes, Commander Yao."
Commander Yao nodded and praised: "You are a great wife. Now we are short of such talents."
After praising him, he turned to Political Commissar Zhang and said, "Xiao Chu, her daughter-in-law has made such a great contribution to the army. You can give her some rewards. Her young comrade works so hard, so we can't treat her badly."
Political Commissar Zhang nodded: "Yes, Commander Yao."
Chu Xingchen heard this and said, "Commander Yao, I want to thank you on behalf of my wife."
Commander Yao patted Chu Xingchen on the shoulder: "Thank you, no need. This is what your wife deserves."
After he finished speaking, he added another instruction: "Let your wife concentrate on research, and the country will not treat her badly."
Chu Xingchen nodded: "Yes, Commander Yao."
Commander Yao nodded, then turned to look at Political Commissar Zhang: "Since there is no problem with the sniper rifle, let the military factory produce it and try to get all the snipers in the team to use the new weapon as quickly as possible."
Political Commissar Zhang said: "Yes, Commander Yao, I will make arrangements right away."
Commander Yao left after arranging the work.
Political Commissar Zhang held Chu Xingchen and talked for a while before letting him go.
When Chu Xingchen returned to the office, it was time to rest. He sat on a chair and watched his comrades in the next office leave one by one. Thinking of what Wang Xiaoxiao said at noon, he suddenly didn't want to go home.
He was afraid that it would be more uncomfortable to face an empty room alone when he returned home.
He reached out and took out the file placed aside and opened it. He couldn't read it for a long time.
Throwing away the document, he rubbed his aching forehead, feeling full of loss.
He sat on the chair and tapped his fingers slowly on the table. After tapping for a dozen times, he suddenly stood up.
If his wife doesn't come home, he can go find her.
As soon as Chu Xingchen walked to the door of the office, he saw Wang Xiaoxiao standing there with a smile on his face.
He was happy and surprised, and ran to her in a few steps: "Xiaoxiao, why are you here? Didn't you say you won't go back after working overtime in the afternoon?"
The smile on Wang Xiaoxiao's face froze, and then she rolled her eyes at him: "You can take my angry words seriously."
Chu Xingchen:...
No matter what, it would be great if my wife can come back.
"Come on, let's go home."
Wang Xiaoxiao reached out and took Chu Xingchen's arm, pulling him back.
Chu Xingchen felt a little unnatural, his ears were red, and he wanted to take his hand out, but when he saw his wife's charming smile, he still couldn't bear it.
Forget it, let others say whatever they want, as long as the wife is happy, and besides, they are a legal couple, so holding hands is not an exaggeration.
After doing some psychological construction, Chu Xingchen held her little hand with his backhand and took the initiative to hold her.
After noticing his movements, Wang Xiaoxiao's smile grew wider.
Along the way, the two of them received a lot of strange looks. After all, in this era of relatively conservative thinking, the two of them holding hands stood out.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Wang Xiaoxiao, who had always been shy, couldn't help but blush. What was rare was that she didn't let Chu Xingchen let go of her.
Chu Xingchen didn't pay attention to the looks of these people at all. Holding his wife's hand was much more important than these looks.
Seeing how sweet the young couple is, many military wives couldn't help showing envy in their eyes. They also wanted their men to lead them like this.
Of course, there are many jealous people, the most representative of whom is Feng Hongxia. Looking at the two of them, she couldn't help but mutter sourly: "It's immoral..."
When Chu Xingchen heard this, he gave Feng Hongxia a cold look and said that he could do it, but not his wife.
Feng Hongxia was so frightened by Chu Xingchen's cold eyes that she didn't dare to speak.
After the people walked away, she felt aggrieved and said in a low voice: "Shameless."
A sister-in-law on the side who had a good relationship with Wang Xiaoxiao heard this and looked at Feng Hongxia with disdain: "They are a serious couple, so it's shameless to hold hands. I think some people are just jealous."
Feng Hongxia was originally frightened by Chu Xingchen's look. Now when she heard these words, she suddenly started to crackle like a cannon being lit: "Li, did I say anything about you? Why did you interrupt?"
"Hey, some people are just jealous and excited. After all, how can a person who gets beaten every now and then understand the love between husband and wife?"
After the sister-in-law named Li finished speaking, she stopped pestering her, covered her mouth and left with a smile.
Feng Hongxia snorted at her back and muttered, "No one is good."
He turned to look at Wang Xiaoxiao who disappeared around the corner and cursed angrily: "Shameless bitch."
After saying that, she paused and left.
She did not go home but went to find Liu Xiaoya.
"Xiaoya, you said that bitch Wang Xiaoxiao has been staying in the team and not leaving. How can we start?"
Liu Xiaoya was also upset. She said angrily: "That's why I asked you to keep an eye on that bitch. As soon as she leaves the army, we will take action."
She still had important things to do, so she casually said a few words to Feng Hongxia and then sent the person away. Of course, she did not forget to give Feng Hongxia some small sweeteners so that the person could continue to use her.
The two slowly returned home, and Chu Xingchen took out the key and opened the door.
The moment he opened the door, he was stunned.
Looking at the decorations in the room, his heart beat a few times, and a steady stream of warmth flowed from his heart and warmed his whole body.
He couldn't help but hugged Wang Xiaoxiao, put his hands around her waist, rested his chin on her head, and slowly tightened his arms: "Daughter-in-law, thank you."
Wang Xiaoxiao's face felt hot. She buried her head in Chu Xingchen's arms and stretched out her arms to hug him.
After a long time, she withdrew from his arms, raised her head and called softly: "Chu Xingchen."
"Ok?"
Chu Xingchen lowered his eyes and looked at her. Her eyes were shining with fragmentary light, like the stars in the sky. He couldn't help but raise his lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Wang Xiaoxiao said softly: "Happy birthday."
When Chu Xingchen heard this, he looked at her tenderly and called her in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law..."
Under his gentle gaze, Wang Xiaoxiao felt the temperature on her face rising little by little. She looked away from him and stammered "Yeah".
