Suddenly, there was a creaking sound of the door opening.
Lu Yuanbao, who was standing in the yard, had no appetite for the steamed buns. When he heard the noise, he immediately turned around to look.
The tightly closed door was opened, and Lu Zhanlin, dressed in military uniform, walked out. He took big strides with his long legs, and his face looked hurried and even a little anxious.
It was just because, after Chu Yue said "I want to live a good life with you", a different emotion was stirred up in Lu Zhanlin's heart, but she didn't give him any time to calm down and accept it.
Chu Yue quickly added, "Lu Zhanlin, I smell of blood and feel dirty. I want to take a shower first. Please arrange it for me."
In the family compound, most houses do not have independent washrooms and toilets, and instead use the shared water rooms, bathhouses, and toilets of the compound.
But Lu Zhanlin's identity was not ordinary after all, and the house he was assigned was different. There was a separate small bathroom at the back of the house, where he could take a simple shower and go to the toilet, which would provide a lot of convenience for Chu Yue in the future.
However, this house had not been occupied for a long time, it had not been cleaned, and there was no hot water. It was still difficult for Chu Yue to take a shower.
Lu Zhanlin went out in a hurry to help his wife find hot water for a bath.
As soon as Lu Zhanlin left, Lu Yuanbao immediately walked into the room and looked up at Chu Yue with uneasiness in his eyes, "Did he bully you?"
After all, he is just a child and has been bullied by too many people. He cannot tell whether Lu Zhanlin is good or bad in a short time like Chu Yue.
Worried about future life, and also worried about...Chu Yue.
Chu Yue raised her hand and touched Lu Yuanbao's head, revealing her first smile of the day.
"No one will bully me. Yuanbao, this will be our home from now on."
Lu Yuanbao was obviously stunned, "Our home?"
"Yes, our home." Chu Yue smiled and nodded, her words gentle and firm, "A home that can shelter us from the wind and rain, and will not drive us out. From now on, we are a family."
Since it's a home, you have to clean it inside and out.
Chu Yue is a young girl after all, especially as a doctor, she has occupational diseases, and she loves cleanliness and has some mysophobia.
She had endured for so long before, and now that she had finally changed her environment, of course she wanted to live a brand new life.
Chu Yue looked around and sent Lu Yuanbao to pull weeds in the yard. Pulling weeds can exercise the body and get some sun and absorb vitamin D, which is suitable for children.
As for the house, she first got a rough idea of the layout. There were two bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. Each room was small, with a total area of about 50 square meters, which was just right for a family of three.
The front room is the living room, and the back room is the kitchen. There are no pots, pans, or utensils in the kitchen, only a big iron pot and a large, wide stove.
In daily life, cooking requires making fire, which is not a difficult task for Chu Yue.
There is running water in the kitchen and the bathroom, which is already a pretty good condition.
Chu Yue first cleaned the bathroom she was going to use inside and out, then found a brush to brush the walls, making it spotless.
Not long after, Lu Zhanlin came back.
The man was carrying three thermoses in one hand and a basin with red lavender flowers in the other.
He listened to the sound of running water and walked to the bathroom, just in time to see Chu Yue rolling up her sleeves and trouser legs, revealing a section of her slender wrists and calves, and she was scrubbing the floor.
Her skin was white, and her exposed wrists were even whiter, like a glowing light bulb, except that they turned a little red after being washed by the cold water.
Lu Zhanlin looked at it for several times, put down the things, and said gently, "The hot water and washbasin are here. Do you have a towel? Do you want soap?"
Chu Yue first took a look at the washbasin with bright red rich flowers. It was very characteristic of the 1970s and very festive. She must buy one when getting married.
She put down the brush and said to Lu Zhanlin, "I've brought the towel and soap. Leave them there first. You go out first."
"Okay, I'm right outside the door. If you need anything, just call me. I can hear you."
Lu Zhanlin warned worriedly, but finally walked out of the house and closed the door gently.
outside the house.
Lu Yuanbao was pulling weeds in the yard, using all his strength and concentration. In just a short while, some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lu Zhanlin walked over and called out, "Yuanbao."
Lu Yuanbao stood there, pursing his lips with a stubborn expression, and did not look up at Lu Zhanlin.
It seemed as if the little child was holding his breath.
Lu Zhanlin squatted down and looked into Lu Yuanbao's eyes, "Yuanbao, do you know who I am?"
Lu Yuanbao grabbed the weeds in his hand, squeezed them tightly, and nodded, "I know, grandma said that you are my uncle. Mom... Mom also said that my uncle is in the army. Mom also said that my uncle is very powerful. As long as he comes back, no one will bully us."
The child's childish voice made Lu Zhanlin's heart ache.
When Lu Yuanbao's mother said these words, she had been driven crazy by the cruel reality.
In her crazy state, when she was rarely sober, the only two people she recognized were Lu Yuanbao and Lu Zhanlin, her biological brother.
It was her only hope in her painful struggle, like the faint flame of a firefly, she kept murmuring and repeating, "As long as A Zhan comes back, everything will be fine", "No one will dare to bully us as long as A Zhan is around", "A Zhan has gone to the army and will be back in a few years."
But Lu Zhanlin left for ten years and never returned to the village. His contact with his sister during that time were all lies made up by his parents.
If it weren't for the fact that his sister died and Lu Yuanbao was an orphan with no one to take care of him, and the village party secretary couldn't stand it and informed Lu Zhanlin, Lu Zhanlin would still be kept in the dark.
This was Lu Zhanlin's negligence. The debt he owed to his own sister was completely irreparable.
What I have to do now is to take good care of my sister’s only child, Lu Yuanbao.
"Yuanbao, I'm sorry that I took you in now and made you suffer so much. Those things are in the past. From now on, I am your uncle and your father. We will live a good life together as a family, and no one will bully you anymore."
When Lu Yuanbao heard these words, his eyes clearly fluctuated.
He bit his lower lip tightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Really?"
"Really, Daddy promises." Lu Zhanlin stared at Lu Yuanbao with his dark eyes and made a serious promise, "Did you have lunch at noon?"
"No...she was picking up the baby. The baby started crying, so she came out, and then we ate steamed buns." Lu Yuanbao said seriously.
Lu Zhanlin roughly understood the situation, "I'm going to the army cafeteria to get food now, do you want to come with me?"
That's the army!
No matter how young a child is, it is impossible for him not to yearn to join the army.
Lu Yuanbao threw away the weeds in his hand and nodded vigorously.
…
The bathroom was filled with hot water. Chu Yue took a comfortable hot bath, applying soap from head to toe and washing herself cleanly.
The original owner had never received such treatment in his previous home.
Even if you use a little more hot water, Li A-mei will nag you.
As for Chu Yue, although she often takes a bath in her portable space and soaks in the hot springs in Lingquan Creek, the feeling in the virtual space is completely different from the warm and comfortable feeling in the real world.
Finally it feels comfortable!
Chu Yue changed into clean clothes and pants, wiped her hair with a dry towel, pressed the moisture out of her hair, and just walked out of the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The knocking was heavy and urgent, as if there was something important.
Could it be that Lu Zhanlin has something urgent to do? That shouldn't be the case.
Or is it that Wang Chunling's condition was unstable after giving birth and she was in danger again?
Chu Yue had just finished taking a shower and didn't have time to put on an extra coat, so she hurried to open the door.
As the door opened and the cold wind blew, Chu Yue saw a strange young girl outside the door.
The young girl was probably in her twenties. She wore a military cap, a military uniform, and a white coat on the outside. She had a red cross armband on her hand and a medical kit hanging on her right shoulder.
At first glance, this is what the medical staff in the army are wearing.
Even in the middle of winter, this young girl is wearing a skirt instead of pants, revealing her slender legs in skin-colored stockings. She really cares about style over temperature, and looks cold.
