Chapter 46

Jiang Yao thought she couldn't drink much, but she didn't expect Lu Che's alcohol tolerance to be even worse. He was already drunk before she started to feel dizzy.

The drunk Lu Che was even harder to deal with than the two angry siblings. He kept pestering her for kisses, like a giant teddy bear clinging to her.

Of course, his needs were definitely more than just kisses. She was worried that he would wake up Changchang and Xiaolu, so she had to carry them to the next room.

Without any worries, Lu Che made even more trouble. Until he finally collapsed on the big bed, Jiang Yao was still thinking, isn't it said that men are not good at all when they are drunk? How come this guy is better than usual?

When I woke up the next day, the watch on the bedside table showed half past ten.

She didn't drink much last night, so she didn't have a hangover headache, only body aches from overindulgence.

She was the only one in the room. She heard the voices of the three of them outside. Jiang Yao got up and went out to see that the man who was drunk last night was now more energetic than anyone else and was having a great time with the brother and sister.

Jiang Yao realized later that she had been cheated last night. Someone was pretending to be drunk and then committed the crime while drunk.

She is really stupid. Business is built on drinking. How can he be a business tycoon if he can't drink?

"Wife, are you up?" Lu Che looked up and saw Jiang Yao and said with a smile.

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, said "liar" and went back to the room.

Just from these two words and her suddenly angry attitude, Lu Che knew that what he did last night was exposed.

He grabbed one with his left hand and hugged the other with his right hand, rushed into the room with the brother and sister, put them on the big bed, and finally rubbed against Jiang Yao to ask for forgiveness, "Wife, don't be angry, it's my fault."

"Go away! You're so annoying! How dare you lie to me?" Jiang Yao pushed him out.

Lu Che hugged her tightly and said innocently, "Wife, I have no choice."

"What do you mean? Do you want me to say I won't give it to you?" Jiang Yao refused to believe his lies.

"I just want to try a new position, but you always don't want to, so I have no choice but to do this." Lu Che muttered softly, "Wife, I see you enjoyed it last night. Don't be shy in the future. Let's try more new things. I'm sure you will be surprised."

"Don't say that anymore." Jiang Yao's face flushed red, and she tried to cover his mouth in anger, but he pulled her back and kissed her.

The first and most effective way that Mr. Lu uses to coax his wife is to kiss her until she loses her temper.

Jiang Yao resisted at first, but gradually she gave in. Until someone tried to touch her, she suddenly realized what was going on and pushed him away.

She was so angry that she forgot that the two children were still there.

Jiang Yao turned her head to look at Changchang and Xiaolu, only to see the brother and sister staring at them with their big eyes wide open, without blinking and with confusion on their faces.

"..." She was really guilty. She was too embarrassed to face the two children. She could only glare at Lu Che. "Look at you. What bad things have you done in front of the children?"

"What bad thing can I do? I just kissed my own daughter-in-law, it's fair and aboveboard." Lu Che said shamelessly, "By the way, teach them from a young age that you are mine, don't come and snatch you from me."

Jiang Yao: “…”

Because they got up late in the morning, they simply had lunch before returning to Qingyuan.

By the time they returned to Qingyuan, it was already dark.

The old lady had already prepared dinner and they started eating as soon as they got home.

After dinner, everyone washed up and went to bed. When they opened their eyes again, it was New Year’s Eve.

This family reunion day is already a happy one, and this year the Lu family has two great-grandchildren, which makes it even happier. The old lady got up early in the morning to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and Lu Che went out to work at seven o'clock because he had to be on duty.

In the evening, the mechanical and electrical factory got off work early, and Lu Che got home at around five o'clock. The old lady asked him to invite Yue Lao to come over and have the New Year's Eve dinner together.

On the New Year's Eve last year, Lu Qing had already joined the army, and there were only four adults. Now with the addition of Changchang and Xiaolu, the atmosphere of the New Year seems particularly strong.

It was a rare day, and Old Yue wanted to have a couple of drinks, so of course Lu Che would accompany him.

Jiang Yao watched him drink one glass of wine after another. For the first time, she felt that she was stupid for three years after pregnancy. It's not like she had never seen him drink before. He started to act crazy after two glasses of wine the night before. Wasn't it obvious that he was pretending? How could she not see it?

She suddenly felt a little overwhelmed by her own intelligence.

The Lu family had a rich meal tonight, and Jiang Yao fed the brother and sister a little. She knew that in the future, the intake of seasonings for children of this age would be strictly controlled, but she still broke the rules, because the food that the child could eat now could not be compared with the future, and filling the stomach was the first priority.

The master and disciple drank non-stop, but Changchang and Xiaolu felt sleepy after a while, so Jiang Yao carried them back to the room first.

After the children fell asleep, Jiang Yao returned to the main room, but everyone had left.

The dishes had been cleared away. She looked towards the kitchen and saw a light on. She guessed that Lu Che was washing dishes, so she walked over.

"Have you finished washing? Let me help you." Jiang Yao walked to the kitchen door and saw him bending over to wash the dishes. When she was about to roll up her sleeves to help, he stopped her and handed her a dry cloth. "Don't get your hands dirty. Just wipe them."

"Okay." Jiang Yao took the dry cloth, stood beside him, picked up a clean bowl, and wiped it carefully.

The northwest wind outside blew in through the small window, causing the kerosene lamp on the table to sway and flicker.

"Wife, I'm so happy today." Lu Che suddenly spoke.

Jiang Yao was very close to him and could smell the strong aroma of alcohol on him. She deliberately argued, "Why, are you drunk again?"

When Lu Che heard this, he laughed and said, "It seems like you will have to talk about this for the rest of your life."

"That's right. I will tell our grandchildren in the future that their grandparents loved to lie when they were young." Jiang Yao continued.

"Very good." Lu Che smiled again, "This means that we will grow old together and stay together for the rest of our lives."

Jiang Yao's heart was gently touched. She turned her head to look at him, only to see that he was lowering his head and also looking at her.

The kerosene lamp was not very bright, and she couldn't even look into his eyes, but she knew that they were definitely filled with herself.

"Of course." She smiled gently, "If you don't mind, we can be together in the next life."

"I should be the one saying this. As long as you don't mind, we will be together for the rest of our lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put his hand on her waist, then pressed her into his arms, bent down and kissed her.

She raised her hands to his neck and tried to respond to his kiss.

She didn't know whether this world existed in infinity or not, but she read the certainty in his deep eyes and was willing to believe him.

The next day, Changchang and Xiaolu seemed to know that today was the first day of the new year, so they got up early. Jiang Yao changed them into new clothes, and then went to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady.

The little ones couldn't speak yet, but they had already learned the congratulations gestures that Jiang Yao asked them to do, and they were babbling to the old lady while doing the gestures.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and while handing them red envelopes, she said, "Grandma wishes Changchang and Xiaolu good health, growing up quickly, and being happy."

The family happily ate the first breakfast of the New Year, and Lu Che went to work again.

The New Year atmosphere is strong these days, but the year also passes very quickly. After the third day of the New Year, the New Year is basically over, and everyone goes to work or work.

Now the Lu family is also a dual-income family, and the nursery cannot be picked up in a day or two. Before that, the twins need to be taken care of. After all, no matter how capable the old lady is, she is too old to take care of two children under one year old at the same time.

Last time, Auntie Tian took good care of the child and got along well with the old lady. Jiang Yao and Lu Che originally wanted to ask them to help take care of the child for a few months, but the old lady disagreed. "Auntie Tian is very nice, but the children in her family are too snobbish. I'm afraid that in the future they will take advantage of this relationship and bother you for no reason."

Having lived for most of her life, the old lady really had a clear view of things. Jiang Yao also agreed with her opinion, "Zhu Xia told me before that she was staying at the Tian family, and it was better for the two old people. Those brothers and their wives would take advantage of her for no reason."

"Why don't we look for Aunt Zhang?" Lu Che suggested.

"Aunt Zhang is nice, but is she willing to come and look after our children?" Jiang Yao said, "Her children are all officers, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, they may not want to be so tired."

"Go ask first, and then tell me if you don't want to."

"good."

I didn't have high hopes, but when I told Aunt Zhang about it, she agreed immediately. "Of course, at my age, I can't earn much by working, and it's not as comfortable as taking care of children. I won't be so bored if Lu Che's grandmother keeps me company and chats with me."

Seeing her enthusiasm, Jiang Yao was happy but also gave her a heads-up, "Aunt, this job is only temporary, maybe just two or three months. When the nursery at the electromechanical factory is built, Changchang and Xiaolu will go there."

"No problem, I understand, don't worry." Aunt Zhang said with some emotion: "My children are not around, I am alone in this house, day after day, I also want to do something else."

Jiang Yao listened, her eyes were a little hot. Aunt Zhang resolutely handed over her children to the country, but she still felt lonely, but she just endured this suffering silently.

With Aunt Zhang's help, Jiang Yao and Lu Che finally felt relieved to go to work.

Although she was busy preparing for the New Year these days, Jiang Yao did not neglect her work. On her first day at work, she submitted the plan for setting up the nursery to Director Li.

When Director Li received the proposal, he was really surprised and delighted. "Jiang Yao, you and Lu Che are really a couple. You are both proactive and reliable. Today is your first day at work, but you have been working for more than a week. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an additional subsidy when I pay you next month."

"Then I would like to thank Director Li first." Jiang Yao would not refuse of course, and said, "Take a look at my plan first, and tell me if you have any questions."

"Okay, I'll take you to the office first."

"good."

The administrative area of ​​the mechanical and electrical factory is not large. Director Wu, Director Hu, and Director Li each have an office, and the rest of the administrative staff work together in a large office.

Since they were working together, Jiang Yao inevitably had to share an office with her "rival in love" Huang Ying.

She didn't feel much about this. After all, Lu Che's heart was with her, and she was Lu Che's real wife. If there was any embarrassment, it should be Huang Ying.

As expected, when she first stepped into the office, she met Huang Ying's eyes. She didn't know whether it was because of shame or inferiority, but she lowered her head automatically after less than a second of staring at each other.

Other people in the office also knew that Huang Ying had written a love letter to Lu Che, and they were eager to watch the fun.

Although everyone acted relatively secretively, Jiang Yao did not miss their gossipy looks.

Director Li also noticed it, and she coughed and said, "This is our new employee Jiang Yao, who will be in charge of the preparations for the nursery. She is also the wife of Lu Che from the workshop. We are all from the electromechanical factory, so we need to take care of each other at work. Jiang Yao, say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Yao. Please give me your guidance in the future." Jiang Yao's self-introduction was very brief, but her expression was confident and she spoke fluently. She didn't sound like someone who had just started working at all.

There was warm applause in the office. Everyone said welcome, but many people were actually sighing in their hearts that it was a good thing that she was in charge of the nursery, otherwise she would be outshined no matter who she worked with.

Director Li pointed to Jiang Yao's seat, asked her to go over and sit down, and then turned around and went back to his office.

Jiang Yao sat down, put down the cross-body bag on her shoulder, and then took out an enamel water cup from it, with the four big words "Serve the People" written on it.

This cup full of the style of the 1970s was bought by Lu Che for her in the provincial capital a few years ago. He bought two at the time, one for each of them, and placed them in the factory for drinking water.

Then she took out an iron lunch box with a lid, which you need to bring with you when you go to the cafeteria to eat at noon.

In addition, there was a pen and a stack of letterhead with the words "Electric Power Plant" printed on her desk.

The desk was too simple, so Jiang Yao decided to grow a small plant. In addition, next time when they were free, the four of them would go to the photo studio to take a photo. She wanted to put a family photo on the desk so that she could look at it while working.

With this new colleague, everyone actually wanted to chat with her, but since Huang Ying was there, they didn't dare to. Although Jiang Yao was brought back by Director Li, Huang Ying was Director Li's niece. They didn't dare to take sides for the time being and would act according to circumstances after a while.

Jiang Yao didn't know what other people were thinking. She went to the water room to get herself a cup of water, then returned to her seat and started working seriously.

As for Lu Che, he returned to the workshop this morning and immediately started working actively, totally unlike someone who had just returned from the Chinese New Year.

"Boss, do you have to work so hard?" Someone said to Lu Che, "I feel like I'm still celebrating the New Year."

"Can you compare with your boss?" Zhang Dong interrupted, "Besides, your boss's wife came to work in our factory today, and he is very happy."

"Yes." Lu Che admitted directly: "We will start the experiment soon. Everyone should go to their respective responsibilities. Don't waste my time. I have to get off work on time at noon."

"Boss, are you going to get off work on time at noon?" Everyone was shocked. Usually, Lu Che was the last one to go to the cafeteria to eat. Everyone was starving, but he seemed to be full just by looking at the pile of spare parts.

"Yes, I have to get off work on time." Lu Che said very seriously: "Hurry up, don't delay me and my wife from having dinner."

“…” Is this still the boss they knew? The boss who was crazy about work?

As soon as lunch time came, Lu Che used practical actions to tell everyone that they were not hallucinating.

He didn't want to stay even a minute longer, so he walked out of the workshop and headed straight for the administrative office.

Jiang Yao loses track of time once she starts working, while other people in the office are already getting ready for lunch.

The worker sitting in front of her felt that it was not good to ignore the newcomer, and was about to ask her if she wanted to eat, when a deep male voice suddenly came from the door, "Wife, let's go eat."

Jiang Yao looked up when she heard the voice, only to see Lu Che's tall figure standing at the door, blocking out all the light from outside.

After all, they were at work, and she felt a little embarrassed that he called her "wife" so openly.

No one moved, their eyes moving between Jiang Yao, Lu Che and Huang Ying.

Huang Ying was surprised that Lu Che came, but she was more heartbroken. She pretended that she heard and saw nothing. She kept her head down and wrote and drew on paper with a pen in her hand, but she didn't even know what she wrote.

"I'm coming." Jiang Yao didn't want to be watched, so she picked up the lunch box on the table and walked out.

After they walked away, Jiang Yao asked, "Are you deliberately showing off your affection in front of Huang Ying? When did you become so mean?"

"I don't have any bad intentions." Lu Che felt very wronged, "I just want to have dinner with my wife."

“…”

Lu Che not only wanted to have a meal with his wife, but also wanted her to have a good meal.

The electromechanical plant was profitable, so the food quality in the staff canteen also increased. However, whether to eat richly or simply was up to the individual, after all, you had to have a ticket to get food in the canteen, and some people couldn't bear to order more food in order to support their families.

Boss Lu might not be willing to let himself eat well, but he was definitely willing to let his wife eat well. When ordering food, he directly ordered two meat dishes for Jiang Yao.

After the food was ready, the two found two empty seats and sat down.

Although these two seats are in the corner, they are not remote at all, because the dining tables in the cafeteria are all large tables, and there are six or seven people sitting at their table.

Looking at the entire electromechanical factory, apart from Director Wu and Director Li, Lu Che and Jiang Yao are the only couple now.

Originally, there is nothing to be envied about a couple seeing each other every day at home and working together, but this matter still depends on appearance.

Which man would not envy Lu Che when seeing a woman as beautiful as Jiang Yao?

Not only is his wife beautiful, she is also very nice to him. As soon as Jiang Yao opened her lunch box, she pushed her meat into Lu Che's lunch box and said, "Eat more. I can't eat that much by myself."

"I bought all this for you, why did you give it all to me? Wife, why are you so caring?"

“……”The people opposite wanted to change tables.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Mi: Are you too high-profile?

Lu Che: My wife is so beautiful that she will discourage those people with bad intentions.
