Chapter 11

Noticing that everyone’s eyes were on her, Long Yujiao smiled gently: “Xiao Wu, what are you talking about? Go and get busy today, I’ll wash the dishes.”

Long Yujiao called her more gently than Lu Xuan called her on the bed.

Shen Wu was calm. If she provoked Li Ping to cause trouble for her, she would have to accept her revenge. As for whether her intuition was wrong.

Shen Wu was not a good person to begin with. She would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

The breakfast was not delicious. After everyone finished eating, they cleaned up and washed the dishes. Long Yujiao did Shen Wu’s work, and she let Lu Ye do Xu Yin’s work.

Lu Ye sneaked into the kitchen and said, “Wife, help me keep an eye on my parents.”

“My mother said that these are things that women in the family should do. My father said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.”

Xu Yin stared outside: “Listen to your parents and go to sleep with them tonight.”

Lu Ye glanced at Long Yujiao in the kitchen, approached Xu Yin and lowered his voice: “I will listen to my wife.”

“I will go back to your parents tomorrow. I have to go to the fields later. I will ask my third brother to bring some things for me. I will go back to your parents tomorrow.”

When Lu Xuan and Shen Wu were about to go out, Lu Ye ran over, looked at Shen Wu, and knew that his wife and she were mortal enemies. He lowered his voice and only told his third brother about buying things.

Shen Wu was not far away, and actually heard it clearly.

While no one was paying attention, he winked at Xu Yin.

Lu Xuan borrowed the only bicycle in the brigade to come over.

Hearing that he was going to the county town, Old Lady Lu also brought some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and some vegetables from her own yard, and gave them all to Lu Xuan.

“Send this to your second brother. It’s not easy for him to be out there alone.”

“Tell him not to be stingy with food and drink.” He was going to put it

in the back.

Lu Xuan took the things: “Shen Wu is going to sit in the back.”

He himself didn’t have the opportunity to go to the county town. Old Lady Lu was upset that Shen Wu was going: “Why is she going there? She will delay her work. Now there is Yu Jiao to replace her…”

“Mom, the educated youth Long is happy. Don’t be unfair for others. I’m going to the county town. Naturally, I have something to do. I will bring you delicious food when I come back.”

He stretched out his hand: “Mom, give me and my third brother ten yuan.”

When Old Lady Lu heard about the money, she ran faster than anyone else. After walking a distance, she shouted to Lu Xuan: “Give the food to your second brother! Did you hear me?”

“Don’t spend money recklessly! Come back quickly after you go.”

Lu Xuan motioned Shen Wu to get on the car and jumped on the back seat. It was still a bit strange when she first sat on it. She looked around and sat for a while. Shen Wu had only one thought in her mind. Her butt hurt from the bump.

She poked the cyclist in front.

Her little hands touched him randomly. At Lu Xuan’s age, he felt stiff all over when he saw her.

He grabbed her hand: “Don’t make trouble.”

“Take a better road. My whole body hurts. You’re shaking my butt even more.”

…

Lu Xuan listened to her words without any shyness, and her neck turned red to her ears: “I know.” She

slowed down when riding the bike and chose a slightly better road. Even so, she felt that she was about to be shaken apart when she arrived at the county town.

Lu Xuan first went to the county commune to borrow something.

Then he took Shen Wu to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative sold a wide range of things, from farm tools to clam oil, small mirrors, rubber bands, and needles and threads.

Originally, there were no skin care products. Shen Wu bought two bottles of clam oil, three cents, one for herself and one for Xu Yin, and two bottles of Gongdeng almond honey, each for one yuan, which was almost a day’s salary for a worker now. People in the countryside don’t even have one yuan after a busy day.

Shen Wu glanced at Lu Xuan when she bought it.

Lu Xuan had no expression. Seeing her looking at him, he asked, “Do you want anything else?”

“Peach cake, egg cake, fried dough sticks, these can all be brought to… my parents’ house tomorrow.”

Shen Wu looked at the pastries of this era, bought some Shaqi Ma, and handed one to Lu Xuan first: “Eat it.”

Lu Xuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

He opened his mouth, and a hand stretched out, handing the soft Shaqi Ma to his mouth, which was sweet.

Shen Wu stuffed one into his mouth and pinched one for herself.

“Sister-in-law’s cooking is really bad. I didn’t eat enough this morning.” He ate a Shaqi Ma and filled his stomach.

Lu Xuan bought another bag of peach cake: “This one will go bad slowly, take it home and eat it slowly.”

“Give it to mother, mother will definitely not let me eat it.” The food of old lady Lu is counted, and she has to count it before cooking.

Not to mention snacks like peach cake.

Lu Xuan said, “If you don’t give it to me, take it to our room and eat it secretly when you are hungry.”

Shen Wu was waiting for him to say this.

“Third brother, you are the best.”

Shen Wu’s voice was not loud, but she trusted people very much, and Lu Xuan felt comfortable listening to it.

Shen Wu didn’t plan to buy anything for the original body’s parents, but Lu Xuan still bought two more packs of peach cakes and wanted to buy more fried dough sticks, but was stopped by Shen Wu.

Shen Wu thought about it and told Lu Xuan: “My parents are not good to me. We are already married and don’t have much money. We have to focus on our lives. If we have children, we have to save money for them.”

Lu Xuan looked at his wife who was much younger than him and listened to her words.

His wife was spoiled and loved cleanliness, but she was really a good person, and there was a wave of waves in his heart.

“Then buy something else.”

Before Shen Wu could react to what to buy, Lu Xuan pointed to a pink flowery bed sheet. Shen Wu had only seen it in a nostalgic video in the future, but this bed sheet was not cheap, and it cost nearly ten yuan a sheet. If

she bought it, all her money would be gone. Shen Wu felt that she was a person who could spend money, but she hesitated to spend almost all her savings on a bed sheet.

“Why don’t you not buy it? Wash the two at home more often, and they will be enough.” She whispered to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan didn’t know what was going on in his mind, and his face looked a little unnatural: “Then I’ll buy some cotton and make you a quilt, so the bed won’t be so hard.”

Shen Wu felt that making a cotton quilt was better than spending all her money on a large flowered bed sheet.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Wu asked Lu Xuan to take her around the county town. The county town at this time was not as shabby as she thought. Almost everything was available, and there were also some employees from the factory.

This was considered a high-income group in this era. Shen Wu, who couldn’t work on the fields, was a little envious of those who could work in the factory.

Lu Xuan rode his bike to the side of the machinery factory, stopped his bike, took down the vegetables, and greeted the guard.

“Uncle, I’m going to deliver something to my second brother.” He took out a handful of green vegetables and handed them to the uncle.

Shen Wu replied: “Uncle, take it home to eat.”

The uncle obviously knew Lu Xuan and looked at Shen Wu twice more: “Your wife?”

Lu Xuan nodded.

“Not bad, not bad, she looks like a good girl.”

Shen Wu thought he was wrong.

“Your brother is in the second workshop, but that…” The old man looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
