Chapter 8
Shen Wu and Xu Yin looked at each other.
Li Ping almost had a day off today.
Shen Wu and Xu Yin were not the type who liked to work.
Li Ping wanted to say something else.
Shen Wu laughed: “If you don’t know, you might think that the child you are carrying is mine!”
Li Ping glared: “What are you talking about?”
“Am I wrong? You have been lazy all day and haven’t been to the field. When it’s time to wash the dishes, you start to know that you are pregnant. If the child is mine, I will wash it. Otherwise, whoever wants to go can go.”
“I won’t wash it, otherwise, I won’t cook tomorrow!”
Shen Wu usually smiled when she spoke. No matter if it sounded good or not, it would never make people feel uncomfortable. At this time, her face was tense and she was obviously angry.
The table was quiet.
There was also a child’s voice from the next door.
“Third Aunt’s cooking is delicious!”
“I want Third Aunt to cook.”
…
Others at the table had the same idea. Even Old Man Lu felt that the food was delicious today. He coughed and looked at Old Lady Lu.
“Men are responsible for the outside, women are responsible for the inside, you should make clear arrangements.”
Li Ping said: “Mom, I am pregnant this month, these are the children and grandchildren of the Lu family…”
Shen Wu had lost her temper, and she pinched Lu Xuan’s hand under the table, scratched his palm with her fingers twice, and pressed on the slightly rough calluses.
Lu Xuan was disturbed by her and felt like ants were crawling around in his heart.
He coughed: “It is the children and grandchildren of the Lu family, and also the son of the eldest brother. Otherwise, let him wash it.”
Old Mrs. Lu was angry at his irrelevant words: “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Your eldest brother is the eldest son of our family. How can he go to the kitchen to wash dishes? No.”
A man in his thirties sitting on the side also said: “Third brother, what are you talking about! How can I wash dishes!”
Lu Xuan’s face did not change, still cold and indifferent, he didn’t think that his eldest brother would do these things: “Just make the division of labor clear, you can’t always let my wife be busy.” Old
Mrs. Lu actually felt that it was not okay, but she felt that the wives of the third and fourth brothers had just entered the house, so she had to show some displeasure, otherwise, she would be controlled by her daughters-in-law in the future.
Unexpectedly, her son started talking after only one day. Her
son has grown up, and he still needs to be supported in his old age.
Old Lady Lu doesn’t get along with her daughter-in-law, but she doesn’t want to offend her son easily.
She looked at Li Ping and said, “Lazy girl!”
“You take turns to cook. The eldest and second sons cook together, and the third and fourth sons wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. When the third and fourth sons cook, the eldest and second sons wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.”
Shen Wu glanced in the direction of Long Yujiao and said nothing.
Long Yujiao had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Li Ping listened to the arrangement and looked at Long Yujiao, “Mom, what about Yujiao?”
Among these daughters-in-law, if she had to say who she likes the most, Old Lady Lu likes Long Yujiao, the quiet-looking future daughter-in-law from the city the most. No one else can compare to her.
Hearing that the eldest daughter-in-law turned her anger towards Long Yujiao, Grandma Lu became angry: “Yujiao is still my daughter-in-law. Even if she is married to Xiaowu and works at the school, she is not the one who cooks and washes dishes.”
Shen Wu said, “Mom, are you saying that we are born to cook and wash dishes?”
“She is there during mealtimes, too.”
…
Although Li Ping didn’t like Shen Wu, she was awakened at this and realized that the one who really didn’t work was Long Yujiao, and even her work points were hers: “She eats during mealtimes, so why doesn’t she work? If I say so, they have to work. She just has the job of a scorekeeper. Is it harder than the second son’s job?”
Wang Hua’s name was suddenly called.
After thinking for a while, she said, “My work is very tiring. Besides, Yujiao doesn’t pay much grain to the public. My husband works in the county and pays money to the public, but I don’t shirk my duty.”
Seeing that everyone was talking about her, Long Yujiao felt that this was not going to work. She had become the target of public criticism. She smiled lightly, “Don’t be angry, I also cook and wash dishes when I’m not busy.” When Mrs. Lu heard her, she said, “Okay, let’s do it. You go and help them.” Today, the big job of washing dishes was done by Li Ping and Wang Hua.
Shen Wu came out of the house, stretched, and looked around to see if there was anyone around. She rubbed against Lu Xuan and said, “Third brother, thank you.”
Although it is a new society now, the Lu family still has the logic that men work outside and women work inside, which is not right. In fact, the wives who marry into the Lu family also have to work. For example, Wang Hua can get six or seven jobs every day. When she goes home, she has to take care of the children and do housework.
When a man finishes his work in the field, he is done.
Although the handsome man was by her side, he was also a person of this era. Shen Wu did not hold too much hope for him. She could sleep with him for a while. If she could go back, she would still like to go back.
If she could not go back.
Shen Wu felt a little lonely when she thought of this. What about the family property she had built! If she could not go back, she would try her best to make herself live a better life in this era.
Farm work and so on. Although Shen Wu had had bad times in her previous life, there was no place to farm in the city. She had never farmed before, but she knew from reading various news that farming was not easy. In this era, it was even more difficult.
We still have to find a way.
Lu Xuan didn’t know what she was thinking. Looking at the moonlight, he whispered, “Let’s go to bed?”
It was already late.
I slept in a daze last night. Today, both of them were awake. Shen Wu looked at him and whispered, “Did you take a shower?” ”
I took a shower when I just got back from work.”
Shen Wu thought, “I haven’t taken a shower yet.”
In the dark, Lu Xuan’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and his neck and ears were darkly red.
The voice was also slightly hoarse: “I’ll go boil some water for you in a while.”
It was obviously impossible at this moment, as someone was washing dishes in the kitchen. Lu Xuan felt that there seemed to be a sticky and hot atmosphere between the two of them. He was calm without thinking about those things. Now that he was free, there were some different… trends elsewhere.
Lu Xuan suddenly said: “I’ll go wash the clothes first.”
He entered the bedroom and took his own clothes and Shen Wu’s clothes away together. When he got a small piece of cloth, he felt even hotter…
Shen Wu saw it from the side: “That needs to be washed separately.”
Lu Xuan responded subconsciously.
He came out with the clothes, thinking that he had to wash them secretly.
Shen Wu looked at his back as he left, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
She had no problem cooking, but she really didn’t like washing dishes.
If she tricked him into washing the dishes, looking at his appearance, he would agree, right?
He looked like a male chauvinist.
She was so easy to talk to when doing laundry, but her behavior was unlike her because there were her clothes in it.
Shen Wu tidied the bed.
Lu Xuan washed the clothes, shook them out and hung them on the rope. The small clothes belonging to Shen Wu were hung in the house.
Li Ping saw Lu Xuan washing clothes in the kitchen, and felt sour in her heart: “That Shen Wu is really a vixen.”
Wang Hua worked silently.
Late at night.
Lu Xuan was not asleep, so he sat up and said, “I’ll go boil some water.”
Shen Wu couldn’t sleep without taking a shower, so she followed him down.
Not long after the two of them entered the kitchen, there was a noise at the door, and the kitchen door creaked –
