Rebirth in the 1970s: Refusing to Be a Side Character

Chapter 7: The Big Pig's Hooves

◎ Here it comes, the good show is about to start! ◎

For the past few days, Dong Jiaojiao hadn't caused any trouble at the military base. He Chengjun figured it was about time she realized her mistakes.

Since the commissar had repeatedly told him to go back, He Chengjun decided to return and check things out.

Moreover, the commissar had mentioned that He Chengjun was at a crucial moment in his promotion. Maintaining stability at home was also part of the promotion assessment.

To be honest, He Chengjun's decision to marry Dong Jiaojiao wasn't solely out of duty to Dong Jianguo. He actually had some affection for Dong Jiaojiao.

They were from the same village and had known each other since childhood, frequently spending time together due to Dong Jianguo's influence. They were like childhood sweethearts.

Most importantly, although Dong Jiaojiao grew up in the countryside and had slightly darker skin, she was still quite attractive.

In their village alone, there were three men who liked her, one of whom was even an urban intellectual.

Whether He Chengjun admitted it or not, this fact greatly satisfied his vanity.

So, as long as Dong Jiaojiao behaved and didn't cause trouble, He Chengjun was happy to live a good life with her and wouldn't mind her rural background.

Of course, He Chengjun couldn't go back right away. The military had rules, so he could only wait until after training in the afternoon.

There were two hours of rest during lunch, and the family compound was right next to the base, just a few minutes' walk away.

Many people would go home for lunch, like Yang Hongwei.

But He Chengjun didn't plan to go home because Lu Yao had mentioned in the morning that she would make braised pig's trotters for him.

Although the military food was decent, it was only enough to fill the stomach. Pig's trotters were a rare treat.

Since Dong Jiaojiao wouldn't be going anywhere, he could enjoy the pig's trotters and return in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, at the military district research institute, in Lu Jinzhou's office.

After several hints and explicit requests, Li Xiang finally obtained Dong Jiaojiao's information for Lu Jinzhou.

Of course, this was done under the pretense of investigating Lu Yao, with a "side benefit" of gathering information about Dong Jiaojiao.

When Lu Jinzhou learned that Dong Jiaojiao was already married, he couldn't quite describe his feelings.

Li Xiang continued to speak without pause, "Lu, He Chengjun is really something. It's not enough that he's causing trouble for his wife; he even dares to flirt with Comrade Lu Yao."

Lu Yao was Lu Jinzhou's niece. Although he didn't often visit home, blood ties were significant, so Li Xiang naturally sided with Lu Yao.

"Lu, I think Comrade Lu Yao must have been deceived. It's a pity that Regiment Leader Lu is away on a mission; otherwise, he would definitely give He Chengjun a good lesson."

Regiment Leader Lu was Lu Yao's elder brother, Lu Ming.

Lu Jinzhou disliked using his power to meddle in personal matters. His focus was solely on work, which Li Xiang was well aware of.
