Chapter 50 We won't let her get away with this! (3/4)

The tone was so domineering that it left no room for argument.

Li Hongxia's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she awkwardly shut her mouth.

The women around him secretly cheered. See? That's her man!

Su Wantang's slight displeasure vanished, replaced by a sweetness that was almost overflowing.

"Clatter".

Lu Linchuan pressed the switch.

A white line lit up on the TV screen, accompanied by a buzzing sound.

Everyone held their breath.

A few seconds later, the moment the image appeared, everyone in the room gasped in unison.

On the screen, the bright red five-starred flag was fluttering, its red so pure and vibrant, it seemed to flow from it. Then, the news anchor appeared on screen; she wore a blue top, her lips a healthy red, and in the background, flowers of yellow and green...

All of this was completely different from the black, white, and gray world they remembered.

"Colors! They're really colorful!"

"Look, look! Those flowers are yellow!"

"The announcer's lips are red! So that's the color!"

The children were so excited that they jumped and shouted, pointing at the screen.

The entire living room—no, the entire courtyard—was in an uproar.

It was an unprecedented visual shock, a groundbreaking event.

Everyone was captivated by this colorful world within a small space, forgetting time, forgetting space, and even forgetting why they were there.

Looking at everything before her, and at the resolute profile of the man beside her, Su Wantang felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

This man always thinks of himself.

"Alright, everyone, let's all go home. My wife and I should have lunch too," Lu Linchuan said.

After he said that, the others wisely dispersed.

"Honey, this is the meal I bought for you at a state-run restaurant outside." As he spoke, Lu Linchuan took the boxed lunch that was packed inside his camouflage uniform and handed it to Su Wantang.

Su Wantang felt a warmth in her heart.

He went out to buy a color TV and remembered to bring himself food back.

"I've already prepared dinner, it's on the table," Su Wantang said with a light laugh. "From now on, when you come home at noon, I'll have dinner ready and waiting for you."

“This is too tiring. You should rest at home. I’ll come home at 11:30 every day and bring you food from the cafeteria so you don’t have to cook.” Lu Linchuan said, then looked at Su Wantang with some guilt as he thought of something. “But if I go out on a mission, I won’t be able to bring food back.”

"I can cook for myself," Su Wantang said with a slight smile. "You don't need to bring me food. Cooking is very simple and not hard at all."

"Besides, the food outside isn't as good as the food I cook. Homemade food always tastes better."

"Alright then." A gentle smile graced the man's handsome face.

The two ate lunch facing each other.

After lunch, Lu Linchuan got up and went to the military base.

Su Wantang was lying in bed sleeping.

Li Hongxia returned home dejectedly.

She also wanted a color television.

But her boyfriend, Wang Aiguo, was only a battalion commander, a whole rank lower than Lu Linchuan. If he was mistreated in the army, he would just take it out on her when he got home. Forget about buying a rare thing like a TV; even if she wanted to buy a piece of new cloth to make a new dress, he would nag her for ages.
