Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 290 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 31

Lu Jianjun was as calm as ever, and he worked very steadily every day.

Zhao Xue glanced at Lu Jianjun who was chopping wood in the house, and couldn't help but ask.

"Jianjun, have you received any letters in the past few days?"

Lu Jianjun stopped chopping wood and shook his head. "No, did someone send you a letter?"

Zhao Xue: “…”

A blockhead!

Zhao Xue simply changed the subject, "Jianjun, you said earlier that your vacation was for two months. Is it about to expire?"

Lu Jianjun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhao Xue to suddenly raise this question. His eyes flickered slightly, and he looked away. He continued to chop wood intermittently, and a vague "hmm" came out of his throat.

Zhao Xue was instantly excited and was annoyed by the sound of chopping wood, so she spoke immediately.

"Wait a minute, don't chop it yet."

Lu Jianjun could only look at Zhao Xue helplessly, "What's wrong?"

"I want to ask you what you think. When you go to the army, what should I do? When can I go with you?"

Zhao Xue's face was full of smiles and her eyes were full of anticipation.

Lu Jianjun paused and pursed his lips, "You can't go with the army."

Zhao Xue’s smile froze. What did he mean?

Just as he was about to ask, there was a knock on the Lu family's gate.

Zhao Xue vaguely sensed something and stopped getting angry. She immediately ran over and rushed to open the door.

Lu Jianjun didn't understand, but he still followed her.

The door opened and the captain handed over a letter.

"Jianjun, I just happened to see your letter and brought it to you."

Before Lu Jianjun reached out to take the letter, Zhao Xue had already snatched it away with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Captain. Sorry for the trouble!"

Captain: “…”

A little polite, but not much.

"It's alright, I'll leave first, Jianjun!"

"Okay, Captain, take care!"

After the door was closed, Zhao Xue immediately stuffed the unopened letter into Lu Jianjun's arms with sparkling eyes.

"Jianjun, take a quick look, what is written here?"

Lu Jianjun took the letter in silence, feeling a little uncomfortable. Of course he knew what the letter was about.

He suffered internal injuries while on a mission in the army, and the team gave him two and a half months to rest. If he had fully recovered, this letter would be a promotion order.

But if my health is not well, then this letter will be a letter of reassurance.

He knew his own body well. He would feel dull pain in his chest from time to time. He did not send a report to the troops that his body had recovered. So this letter could only be -

The placement letter has been received.

So when Zhao Xue asked him about joining the army just now, he said firmly that she could not go with the army.

"Axue, I have something to tell you."

Lu Jianjun did not open the letter, but looked at Zhao Xue solemnly.

His expression and words made Zhao Xue confused. The promotion and transfer order had arrived, so what was he doing here?

If you have anything to say, can't you wait until you read the letter?

Fortunately, because the promotion and transfer order was hanging in the air, Zhao Xue was happy and couldn't help but speak with a smile.

"Okay, then you go ahead and tell us! We'll read the letter later."

Lu Jianjun licked his dry lips, not daring to look at Zhao Xueliang's bright and expectant eyes, and turned slightly to the side.

Zhao Xue felt something was wrong, as if something out of control had happened. Before she could see Lu Jianjun's expression clearly, he had already started talking.

"More than three months ago, I was injured while on a mission in the army. I spent a month recuperating in the team, and on the surface my injuries had fully healed. But after returning to the team, when the training was too intense, my chest always ached, and I couldn't keep up with the training. The team asked a doctor to come and check, but they couldn't find any problems."

"The team gave me more than two months off, so I stayed at home to recuperate. I also consulted many doctors, but none of them could cure me completely."

Lu Jianjun pursed his lips, mustered up the courage to turn around, looked at Zhao Xue who seemed to be stunned, and said seriously.

"So, this letter... should be the placement letter sent by the team."

Zhao Xue's first reaction was disbelief, as the plot said that what was sent over at this time was a promotion order.

How could anything go wrong?

She felt a little panicked for some reason, but she suppressed the emotion. She quickly took the letter from Lu Jianjun's hand, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or Lu Jianjun.

"Jianjun, how is this possible? You haven't read the letter, how can you be sure--"

The moment she saw the content of the letter, Zhao Xue's voice suddenly stopped.

She read the few lines three times, and the thick stack of resettlement money in the envelope also reminded her——

This is indeed a placement letter.

Lu Jianjun ignored her strange look. He took the letter from her hand and read it quickly. The huge rock hanging in his heart slowly fell.

He has not felt well for more than two months.

At the beginning, he couldn't adapt to the life after returning home. The tension in the army was completely different from the relaxation at home. He was like a lion that suddenly lost its goal. He lived a lonely and disappointed life, and recalled the past days from time to time.

But after visiting many famous doctors, he found nothing and the disappointment in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He forced himself to accept the fact that he had to retire due to injury, but he still harbored a trace of reluctance.

The last time he fell into the water was because of forced training, which caused a sudden pain in his chest and he fell into the water while he was not conscious.

If Zhao Xue hadn't saved him that time, he wouldn't know if he would be alive today.

After the fall into the water, his thinking gradually changed.

He was extremely scared and didn't dare to think about what would happen to his family if he really died. Then he realized that maybe he should accept reality.

He was grateful to Zhao Xue for saving him. Thinking of the close contact and mutual affection between the two, he became somewhat addicted to it.

In the days that followed, he gradually felt that it was a great thing to work from sunrise to sunset and take care of his own big family every day.

Therefore, he unexpectedly felt a sense of relief that the dust had settled on this belated ruling.

The only thing was that for some reason, he did not tell Axue all the facts.

Lu Jianjun stared at Zhao Xue in a daze. Seeing her panic, disappointment, and hesitation, he felt an indescribable loss in his heart.

"Axue, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that her body was shaking, Lu Jianjun couldn't help but support her with some concern.

Zhao Xue couldn't express how she felt right now, she just felt that everything was a mess.

The Lu Jianjun in the plot is obviously not like this, why didn't everything go according to the plot!

Zhao Xue was helped by Lu Jianjun to sit down. She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.

After a moment of silence, she began to review the story and couldn't help but be extremely angry at Lu Jianjun for hiding the truth from her.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were injured? Why didn't you tell me? Or after I married you, you never treated me as your wife? Are you still thinking about that Jiang Erya?" Zhao Xue questioned and condemned her dissatisfiedly.

Lu Jianjun frowned, "What does this have to do with Jiang Erya? You are my lover and my family."

After that, he looked ashamed and explained, "I was afraid that you would worry. After all, we had just gotten married. I didn't want to tell you these bad things. Besides, even if I told you, the injuries on my body would be the same. There would be no difference."

"Besides..." Lu Jianjun paused, and added with some confusion, "Isn't it good now? The army has arranged a job recommendation. I will work in town and can come back every day. Isn't it good for our family to stay together?"

If he joins the army, there's no telling how many times he'll be able to come back throughout the year. It's common for him to get injured while on a mission, so there's nothing wrong with him staying at home.

Zhao Xue was choked. What was good about it? In the plot, since Lu Jianjun got promoted, he seemed to have been on a roll. His career was flourishing and he would be promoted all the way.

What does this mean now? Am I going to stay in this remote village for the rest of my life?

Zhao Xue shook her head unconsciously, thinking carefully whether she had missed any plot. It didn't make sense that when Jiang Erya and Lu Jianjun got married, Lu Jianjun could rise to high positions, but it wouldn't work for her.

She is a favored one by heaven, with a script in her hand and a farm space to herself!

"Axue——"

Lu Jianjun was puzzled. There were many cases of soldiers retiring due to injuries in the army, and there were even many disabled or dead comrades. Now that he was standing here alive, why did she look so shocked?

"Stop arguing, let me think about it!" Zhao Xue interrupted Lu Jianjun.

Lu Jianjun: “…”

After a while, Zhao Xue, who was sitting, suddenly opened her eyes.

She seemed to know what was missing.

In the plot, after Jiang Erya married Lu Jianjun, she once met an old man who was almost starving to death on the road.

She was so compassionate that she helped the man directly into the Lu family and gave him water and food.

After the old man regained consciousness, everyone realized his identity: he was a member of the "five black categories" who had been sent down to live in the village cowshed.

Lu's mother and Jiang Erya had a big argument over this matter. The situation was tense at the time and no one wanted to have anything to do with the five black categories living in the cowshed, for fear of being implicated.

After this incident, Jiang Erya never had any open contact with the people in the cowshed again, but she did secretly send food to them several times.

In the plot, Lu Jianjun also went there several times, and both of them behaved extremely covertly.

Then Lu Jianjun received the promotion and transfer order.

There was only this one thing missing. Zhao Xue had to suspect that there must be some medical experts living in the cowshed, who secretly healed Lu Jianjun's injury because of Jiang Erya's life-saving grace.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xue perked up again, pulled Lu Jianjun closer and asked, "Jianjun, if you recover, can you return to the army?"

Lu Jianjun was a little confused by Zhao Xue's moody appearance, but he still said honestly, "It shouldn't be possible. After all, the resettlement letter has been delivered."

Zhao Xue righteously advised, "But isn't this the deadline yet?"

"Jianjun! Although I also think it's good for our family to live together, you can't just care about your own little family! The army needs you, and the country needs you too! Your future can't be trapped by this little piece of land in this village. Shouldn't you try your best when you're young?"

Zhao Xue became more and more excited as she spoke, and she even stood up and pressed Lu Jianjun's shoulders, speaking passionately.

Lu Jianjun: “…”

"Axue, what you said is right, and I agree with it. But the key is that my current physical condition does not allow it. If I force myself to train, it will trigger my old illness. I fell into the water that day because I trained secretly."

Lu Jianjun scratched his hair, not knowing what Zhao Xue was trying to do.

"So what you mean is that as long as your body recovers, you will agree to return to the team?" Zhao Xue seized the key point and asked.

Lu Jianjun frowned and explained again, "Axue, this has never been a matter of whether I am willing or not. The resettlement letter has been sent. Regardless of whether I am well or not, all I can do is obey orders. Even if my injuries are healed, I have to report in advance and let my superiors decide where to go."

Zhao Xue frowned in dissatisfaction, and thought of Lu Jianjun's successful career in the original plot. She felt that the possibility of promotion after his injury healed was very high.

"Jianjun, don't think too much. I'll take care of your injuries. When you recover, you can report to the team immediately!"

Zhao Xue made the final decision for Lu Jianjun.

Lu Jianjun: “…”

In fact, he doesn't really want to return to the team now.

"Axue!" Lu Jianjun continued to persuade her earnestly, "I have consulted many doctors for my injuries, including those in the team, but none of them could cure them. Can you please stop tossing me around?"

"Can't we just stay at home peacefully? Mom is old, and we have younger brothers and sisters at home. I can be closer to home and take care of the family."

Zhao Xue: “…”

She looked at him with a little disappointment, "Can you be more promising?"

It was obvious that when he was with Jiang Erya, he was willing to join the army.

When it was her turn, all she could think about was taking care of the family all day long. To put it bluntly, they were all a burden.

Lu Jianjun was stunned and felt hurt by Zhao Xue's words. How could he be so useless?

However, Zhao Xue no longer wanted to argue with Lu Jianjun, so she went straight back to the inner room and started thinking of a solution.

Only Lu Jianjun was left standing in the courtyard. He felt uncomfortable but was still reflecting on his own problems.

That night, Lu Jianjun tossed and turned. He and Zhao Xue hadn't said a word to each other for the entire day.

After thinking about it, he felt that Zhao Xue might have placed too high hopes on him.

After all, she forced him like this for his own good, so why should he be angry with her?

After figuring it all out, Lu Jianjun decided to find his wife the next day to apologize, but he found nothing.

Zhao Xue deliberately went to the cowshed quietly when no one was paying attention.

She planned to test the situation first and find an opportunity to get to know the people inside.

She didn't know if she was lucky or what, but as soon as she turned the corner, she saw the two figures not far from the cowshed.
