## Chapter 13: Did She Hit Her Head?

They returned to the military compound.

Lu Shiyuan first carried Ningning off the tractor, then turned to carry Yan Yan.

Fang Shuting stood beside Lin Yangyang. Seeing Lu Shiyuan turn to carry Lin Yangyang, Fang Shuting suddenly exclaimed, “Oh!” Her body lost balance and she fell directly onto Lu Shiyuan, who was standing below the tractor.

Seeing her fall, Lu Shiyuan couldn’t just stand there. He subconsciously reached out and caught the “falling” Fang Shuting.

After safely placing Fang Shuting on the ground, Lu Shiyuan wanted to let go, but Fang Shuting still clung to him.

“Brother Lu, my, my foot hurts.” As she spoke, Fang Shuting reached out to touch her leg.

Lu Shiyuan looked down and saw that her ankle was indeed injured, and the wound was still bleeding.

“What happened?” He held her shoulders and frowned slightly.

Fang Shuting frowned, looking a little downcast. “The road back was so bumpy. I tripped and hurt my ankle. Brother Lu, can you help me home? I, I can’t walk.”

“Okay.” Lu Shiyuan agreed.

Just as Fang Shuting was overjoyed, happy that Lu Shiyuan cared about her and happy that he ignored Lin Yangyang, Lin Yangyang, who was still on the tractor, glanced at the two of them, raised an eyebrow, and jumped down from the one-meter-high truck bed.

Although she didn’t twist her ankle when she landed, she lost her balance and leaned to the side.

Seeing this, Lu Shiyuan quickly let go of Fang Shuting’s hand, quickly grabbing Lin Yangyang’s arm with one hand and holding her waist with the other.

Feeling the heat, Lin Yangyang was stunned.

She thought he was going to help Fang Shuting home and wouldn’t have time for her.

“Can’t you wait a bit? It’s so high, you might get hurt jumping down like that.”

Although his tone was a little harsh, he was actually worried about her.

Actually, Lin Yangyang thought Lu Shiyuan had really forgotten about her.

After all, Fang Shuting was the original heroine, and she was also his comrade-in-arms’ sister. It was only natural for Lu Shiyuan to take care of her more.

But it turned out that he cared about her too.

“Wenjun, you help Shuting home.” After saying that, Lu Shiyuan supported Lin Yangyang, called the two children, and went home.

Watching the two of them pass by, Fang Shuting almost blurted out a curse!

Didn’t Brother Lu promise to help her home? Just because Lin Yangyang’s acting was so good, he completely ignored her?

Fang Shuting was resentful. She was resentful that Lu Shiyuan was always charmed by this woman, and she was angry that this hypocritical woman always got her way.

They hadn’t gone far when Lin Yangyang looked at him holding her hand tightly. She felt a little embarrassed and pursed her lips. Her voice was soft. “I, I didn’t twist my ankle.”

“Yeah, I know.” He said this, but he still didn’t let go of her.

The closer they got to the Lu family’s gate, the tighter Lu Shiyuan squeezed her wrist.

Lin Yangyang felt a little pain. She was about to speak, but then she thought of something.

Could it be that he was worried that she would suddenly change her mind and run away?

Until they reached the Lu family’s house, Lu Shiyuan asked Lu Jiayan to close the door, then he finally let go of Lin Yangyang’s hand. He stood behind her, as if he was ready to stop her from running away at any moment.

So, even a straightforward man could be hypocritical.

This morning, when he kicked the door open, he had shouted loudly that he would take the kids and live on his own, right?

Why now, looking at his posture, did it seem like he didn’t want her to leave?

Thinking about this, Lin Yangyang couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Lu Shiyuan frowned and asked cautiously, “What are you laughing at?”

After a moment, Lin Yangyang quickly stopped smiling and shook her head. “Nothing, I wasn’t laughing. It’s getting late. I’ll go heat some water.”

In the 1970s, not every household had a coal stove, and the coal stoves of this era were different from those of the technological era.

The original owner had forced Lu Shiyuan to buy one for the family. It was fine for cooking, but if it was used to boil water, it would waste both kerosene and time.

Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Yangyang stepping into the kitchen and was a little dumbfounded.

Not only Lu Shiyuan, but Lu Jianing and Lu Jiayan were also stunned.

“Dad, Mom, she… did she hit her head?”

Lu Jianing stood beside Lu Jiayan, looking at Lu Shiyuan with the same confusion.

Hearing this, Lu Shiyuan frowned.

Lin Yangyang had indeed changed a lot since this morning. You would think she was a different person.

In the few years they had been married, she had never called him “husband” once. She always called him by his name, but today, she kept calling him “husband.”

Her usual complaints and scolding towards him were gone today.

And, she clearly liked that He Chonghan. She had often praised He Chonghan in front of him, saying he was cultured, talented, educated, and had a bright future.

But today, whether it was her humiliation of He Chonghan or her slap, it seemed like she truly hated He Chonghan.

Could it be, as they often said, that she had a sudden change of heart?

“Dad.”

Just as Lu Shiyuan was lost in thought, Lu Jiayan called out, and Lu Jianing pulled his pants from the side.

“Let’s take Mom to see a doctor. My sister and I are worried about her.”

Lu Shiyuan nodded and stroked Lu Jianing’s head.

“Don’t worry. Dad won’t let anything happen to your mother.”

After saying that, Lu Shiyuan stepped into the kitchen.

“Let me do it. You go and rest.”

Hearing Lu Shiyuan’s voice, Lin Yangyang turned to look.

With just one glance, Lu Shiyuan froze in place, unable to help but chuckle.

He thought she knew how to use the stove when he saw her so quickly enter the kitchen and say she was going to boil water.

But now, looking at her, Lin Yangyang was covered in soot. You would think she had fallen into the stove.

“What are you doing?” As he spoke, Lu Shiyuan came to Lin Yangyang and wiped the soot off her nose with his hand. “Did you hit your head? Now you don’t even know how to boil water?”

Lin Yangyang pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly.

To be honest, she really didn’t know how to use this kind of earthen stove.

Although she was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage, there was a head matron there. The children rarely had to do things themselves. Moreover, even if they had to do things themselves, there were gas stoves.

When she was starting the fire, Lin Yangyang almost thought she was going to suffocate in there.

Fortunately, although the original owner was born in a rural area, she hadn’t done much manual labor since marrying Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Shiyuan looked at her dirty and silly little face and sighed helplessly. “Go wash your face. I’ll do it.”

“Okay! Okay!” Lin Yangyang responded eagerly and quickly left the kitchen.

When the two children outside saw her appearance, they couldn’t help but laugh.

“Mom, did you fall into the stove? Why are you covered in soot?”

Lin Yangyang patted Lu Jiayan’s head. “I’m sorry. I’ll learn how to do it properly in the future.”

Since she was already a mother of two, she had to learn what she needed to learn and do what she needed to do.
