Chapter 97 A Good Girl
Chu Mingzhou said he would stay with her, so Lin Anan held him and slept all night. She didn't wake up until noon the next day. When she opened her eyes, she met his deep and gentle eyes.
Lin Anan was still a little confused. She subconsciously rubbed the warm embrace beside her and said in a soft voice: "What time is it?"
Chu Mingzhou raised his hand and gently stroked her messy hair, with a smile on his face: "It's almost noon, are you hungry?"
Lin Anan finally woke up completely, her face flushed, and she buried herself in the quilt and muttered softly: "Why didn't you call me? I overslept."
Chu Mingzhou smiled and pulled back a corner of the quilt to let her breathe. "It's my fault. I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you up. Grandma has made a lot of delicious food. Get up quickly."
When she heard that there was something delicious to eat, Lin Anan's stomach growled twice. She sat up with a red face and prepared to get dressed.
"Turn around."
Chu Mingzhou was slightly stunned, "Wait."
As he said that, he got up first and put on his clothes in no time, "I'll go get you some water."
Lin Anan opened her mouth...
Chu Mingzhou didn't hide anything from her when he put on his clothes, his eye-catching good figure was clearly visible!
After everyone left, she looked at her hands again.
You’ve made progress!
That waistline, those abdominal muscles...you touched them all night long?
The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and he even put on his clothes faster.
When she finished cleaning up and came out, the dining room was bustling with activity.
Lin Zihuai is such a grown man, but he was actually fighting with Chu Mingyu for the lamb leg.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Zihuai is so mean. He lied to me and said that eating lamb legs would make me stupid."
Lin Anan: “…”
Lin Zihuai mumbled with meat in his mouth, "Sister, you finally got up. My brother-in-law didn't let us call you, saying that he wanted you to get enough sleep."
Lin Anan laughed awkwardly, called her aunt a little embarrassedly, and glared at Lin Zihuai, "You are so grown up, and you still snatch food from Xiaoyu?"
Aunt Chu smiled and served Lin Anan a bowl of hot soup: "Hurry up and drink some soup to warm yourself up. You must have been tired last night. You are too thin. You need to eat more."
Lin Anan's face started to get hot again.
My aunt was talking about last night, not yesterday. The implied meaning of her words was misunderstood!
But how do you explain this problem?
Lin Anan picked up the soup and took a sip. The fresh and fragrant taste instantly spread on the tip of her tongue, warming her spleen and stomach.
She turned her head and looked at Chu Mingzhou, who was also looking at her, "Eat more."
"Um."
After lunch, Chu Mingzhou returned to the army immediately, saying that the leaders above wanted to meet with the soldiers of the special operations battalion to express their condolences.
Lin Zihuai performed very well in the art performance, so Chu Mingzhou went to greet him and allowed him to report back to the communication company after the New Year.
"The New Year is only four days away. There are many things to prepare. Please help out more at home."
"Brother-in-law, I know."
When Lin Zihuai heard that he didn't have to go back to the army, he was so happy.
With nothing to do, Lin Anan cut out some more red paper and started cutting window paper-cuts.
Lin Zihuai came up to her and said, "Sister, is there anything I can do for you? I can help run errands and do some heavy work."
Lin Anan smiled and glanced at him, "If you want to do something yourself, why do you need me to arrange it for you?"
Lin Zihuai hurriedly looked at Aunt Chu.
Aunt Chu smiled and waved her hands: "It's not much hard work, you young people, just rest and spend the new year comfortably. By the way, An An, we still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some New Year's goods, you can go with me this afternoon."
"Okay." Lin Anan replied.
It's nice to go out for a walk and feel the New Year atmosphere of this era.
"We have the usual groceries. We'll have to add some melon seeds and peanuts so that our neighbors can have something to chew when they come to visit us."
Aunt Chu wiped her hands and hurried back to the kitchen. "Oh, by the way, I'll mix some rice paste. Zihuai is tall, so I'll put up the Spring Festival couplets later."
"Okay~"
The afternoon sun shines on the snow, creating a sparkling glow.
People are adding a little red to the white snow for the New Year.
The Chu family's front door had been wiped clean. There were two marks on both sides of the door, left by the Spring Festival couplets posted in previous years.
Lin Zihuai moved a stool inside, picked out a pair of Spring Festival couplets that he liked and started to mark the positions.
"Brother Zihuai, move a little to the left."
"No, come closer, yes, yes, right here."
Smear the hot rice paste on the Spring Festival couplets and stick them on the door. They will stick to it in no time.
Lin Zihuai put up the Spring Festival couplets, stepped back a few steps, tilted his head to look at them, and muttered: "The first line of this couplet is 'Spring comes to the earth and all flowers bloom', the second line is 'The festival brings new things to the world', and the horizontal scroll is 'May everything go well'. Hey, this is the most festive couplet!"
Just as this side was pasted, a window next door was opened, and an uncle stuck his head out and took a look.
After a while, he waved to Chu Minglan again, "Sister Lan, are you putting up the couplets? What a coincidence, I haven't gotten the couplet I asked your brother to write yet. Would you mind giving it to me? Today is a good day, so I can put it up as well."
Chu Minglan was stunned, then quickly nodded with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, yes, my brother has already written it, I'll give it to you."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he rubbed his hands happily and said, "That's great! Mingzhou's calligraphy is well-known in our compound. Your aunt was still talking about it yesterday."
At this time, most neighbors are at home and like to gather together to do things. When one person sees something, others will rush over to get it.
When Lin Anan heard the commotion at the door, she stood up and went out to take a look.
I saw five or six people gathered at the gate.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Lin Anan.
"Is Mingzhou's wife at home?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Sister An An, I don't usually see you out. Come to my sister-in-law's house when you have time."
Lin Anan doesn’t know them, but they all know Lin Anan.
If it were before yesterday, these neighbors would have avoided Lin Anan and looked down on her. After all, she had a bad reputation and was about to get divorced, so there was no need to deal with her.
But after yesterday's cultural performance, most people's views have changed.
This girl is actually quite nice.
She always glows whenever she stands on the stage. Not only is she beautiful but she is also very talented. She is a perfect match for Captain Chu.
Lin Anan was a little surprised by the neighbors' sudden politeness. She quickly responded politely one by one. When she learned that they were here to get Spring Festival couplets, she simply went into the house and took out some freshly cut window decorations.
"This is a window paper-cut. Uncles, aunts, and ladies, take one. It's festive and can be pasted on windows. I cut them myself. They're not expensive."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the window paper-cuts that Lin Anan handed over.
Zhang Bo was the first to reach out and take it. He looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "Oh, Mingzhou's wife has a pair of skillful hands! Look at this window paper-cut, it's so delicate, it's better than those sold in the supply and marketing cooperative."
Several other aunts also gathered around, praising her one after another:
"That's right, and the supply and marketing cooperative sells it at a very high price."
"This pattern looks festive, and the hands are so skillful."
"Sister An An, I didn't expect you to have this ability."
