Chapter 43

“Old Third’s family, cook.” Old Lady Lu called out from outside.

Shen Wu responded, “Okay!”

Old Lady Lu called out again, “Not busy today, make something thin!”

She called out to Xu Yin again, still muttering that the two of them were lazy and had to be called to cook.

Old Lady Lu distributed food, but the food was really little, just enough for a bowl of thin soup to warm the body. Shen Wu thought about the salty porridge she saw on the Internet in her previous life, and picked a few beans from the wall.

She sighed, “Fortunately, I ate a lot yesterday, so I’m not very hungry today. How about you?”

Xu Yin didn’t sleep well last night, and yawned, “I’m fine. I woke up at noon and ate two cookies.”

Shen Wu saw that she looked as tired as she was after a night in the bar in her previous life, so she lowered her voice, “You didn’t stay up all night, did you?”

Xu Yin’s face was a little red.

Shen Wu knew what happened at a glance. She thought about the noise she had heard the whole night. Xu Yin’s house was next to Lu Laowu. To the west was a row of side rooms. Long Yujiao lived in one room, while Lu Laoliu and Laoqi, who was studying outside, shared another room. Then there was a small kitchen next to the outside.

“That house is not soundproof. Be careful.” Shen Wu mentioned the noise she heard last night. “I didn’t know it was so soundproof before. It’s too inconvenient. I told Lu Xuan that I wanted to separate.”

“He doesn’t object, but I have to find a time to ask. What about you?”

Xu Yin frowned. “If you want to separate, I will too, but I have to stay with you.”

“Of course!”

We came here together, so we have to stay together. Otherwise, Shen Wu still doesn’t feel safe. The sense of security given by sisters is different from that given by Lu Xuan, and it can’t be replaced.

Lu Xuan didn’t come back until it was almost dark in the afternoon.

Shen Wu opened the door for him. Even if he was wearing a tightly woven raincoat, he would still be soaked.

“What did you do?”

Lu Xuan took out a lunch box from his arms, “Eat, I brought you this from the state-owned restaurant.”

The aluminum lunch box was still warm from his warming, and when he opened it, it contained white rice and fish chunks.

“If you don’t work today, mom won’t let you eat any dry food, it won’t fill your stomach.” Lu Xuan took off his raincoat and wiped the water off his head while talking to Shen Wu.

The chefs in state-owned restaurants are all good cooks now, and Shen Wu was indeed hungry. She only drank some soup at noon to warm herself up, and she was wet all over. Although she was hungry, she didn’t plan to secretly get something to eat, and was just about to get through it, when she didn’t expect Lu Xuan to bring her something.

“You haven’t told me yet, what did you do this afternoon?”

Lu Xuan wiped his head, “I originally went to the mountain to see if I could find something to eat, but I didn’t find anything. Instead, I ran into Lu next door who was full and was butted by a wild boar. Fortunately, I was there and sent him to the county hospital. I came back after he woke up.”

“What does deer full mean?” Shen Wu looked at Lu Xuan blankly with a bowl of rice, “There are stupid roe deer in the mountains?”

Lu Xuan was silent for a while, “The eldest son next door.”

Shen Wu…

“Then have you eaten?” Shen Wu scooped a spoonful of rice and brought it to his mouth.

Lu Xuan shook his head, “I ate at the state-owned restaurant.”

He looked around the room, and the man who had a cold face just now was a little uncomfortable now, “Is the small mattress ready?”

“It’s ready, it’s in the cabinet.” Shen Wu happily shared with Lu Xuan.

When Lu Xuan said, “I’ll go boil some water, you eat quickly.”

Shen Wu looked at his back and realized what the man was thinking about. He asked him to turn his back when he was taking a bath in the room.

Shen Wu: “This wall is not soundproof.”

Lu Xuan listened to the sound of water splashing, “It’s going to rain tonight, so I can’t hear it.”

The small quilt was made at noon and was scheduled to be used in the evening. Even though the rain outside hadn’t stopped yet, Shen Wu gritted her teeth to prevent the sound from spilling out when she thought of the sound she heard last night.

The more Shen Wu restrained herself, the more… excessive he became.

It’s just that this man looked serious, but at night he was like a monster showing his true form.

Shen Wu’s tears rolled in her eyes, “Lu Xuan!”

“Call me Third Brother.”

Shen Wu didn’t want to do what he wanted, so she bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

Lu Xuan was amused by her and turned him over…

The sound of rain outside gradually subsided, and the people in the room seemed to have been caught in a wet rain.

Shen Wu wiped away her tears with her rough fingertips.

She muttered, “Don’t touch my face, your hands are too rough and wrinkled.”

Jiaojiao.

“I’ll go to the county town to buy you some vanishing cream some other day.” Lu Xuan said.

Shen Wu: “I want Pechoin.”

There really weren’t many choices at this time.

“Okay.”

Lu Xuan got out of bed, put on simple clothes, and helped her wash. He took the small mattress away and pulled her into his arms with his long arms. “New mattress, is it soft?”

Shen Wu glared at him and said nothing.

It wasn’t hot today, and she was tired, but she didn’t break free from Lu Xuan’s arms, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

When she woke up early in the morning, it was already a sunny day. She got up to cook, and Lu Laoer rode his bike to go to work in the county.

Old Lady Lu stuffed him some vegetables grown at home, “Take good care of yourself when you are out there.”

“In theory, your wife should take care of you.”

　　…

One is in the county and comes back once every two weeks. Old Lady Lu made it seem like she was leaving home for many years, which made Wang Hua, the wife, feel sadder.

Shen Wu took a few glances and prepared to leave.

A woman in a red coat had two long black braids and smiled when she saw someone. Lu Laoer was at the door, so she greeted him first.

The second son of Lu hadn’t spoken yet.

Old Lady Lu frowned, “Go away, what are you doing in front of our house!”

“You smell so bad, get out of here!”

She fanned the wind in front of her nose in disgust.

The voluptuous woman was not angry, “Aunt Lu, I’m here to give you something.”

“My eldest son almost got into trouble yesterday, thanks to your third son, these are my gifts.” She pushed the bowl in her hand forward, “Is Lu Xuan at home? I want to give it to her in person.”

It turned out that the “deer eating full” was her son.

Old Lady Lu didn’t like the young widow, but when she saw the eggs in her hand, her eyes widened. Not liking the widow didn’t mean she didn’t like eggs, so she didn’t ask what was wrong, and stretched out her hand, “Give it to me.”

One thing is one thing, the egg must be taken.

The woman was also quick, holding the bowl and hiding behind, looking into the yard, “Aunt, I want to thank Lu Xuan in person.”

Shen Wu was eating watermelon in the back, and looked at Xu Yin.

Whether this was intentional or unintentional, she was completely ignored.

Is this her man in the picture?

Well, Lu Xuan is quite attractive, tall and handsome. Shen Wu shouted to the yard, “Third brother, someone is looking for you!”

Lu Xuan was washing the cover of the small mattress, shaking it and hanging it on the rope, when he heard his wife’s voice.

Before he even got there, he saw his wife’s beautiful eyes staring at her. Lu Xuan thought it was because of the fight last night, so he touched his nose.

“What’s the matter?”
