Chapter 51: What kind of commotion is this?
The two, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, now had a chance to talk. Longing spread in their hearts, and Zhou Congsheng looked at the somewhat thin chin, his breathing becoming rapid with heartache.
"I brought you some things. I had someone leave them at your courtyard gate when I arrived. Have you not been eating properly lately? You seem to have lost weight again, Zhuzhu."
"I've been eating well. As for losing weight, it's probably because I've been missing you."
Zhao Yue, standing not far away: "!!!"
"......."
Ah~ ah... She's so bold, so direct, and so cute!!!
Seeing Zhao Yue holding her face in her hands, her expression one of pure ecstasy, Song Biao's heart pounded. Why was he getting so excited over the young couple's conversation? And what was with that expression? It looked like a badger's.
"Little darling, control your expression, don't scare your sister-in-law."
"Brother Song, did you hear that? Did you hear that? She said she misses my brother, hehehehe... I think she's so cute. No wonder my brother has been thinking about her for so many years. If it were me, I would be thinking about her too. Hey, don't pull me, let go of me, I'm not leaving, I want to see more..."
Zhou Congsheng closed his eyes, speechless, and once again regretted why he had agreed to take care of Chief of Staff Zhao.
How could this girl embarrass him like this?!
"Ahem, well, this girl is a little crazy, she can't keep her mouth shut, don't take it to heart."
"Am I such a petty person? Besides, I think she's quite cute. By the way, how long are you planning to stay here?"
Zhou Congsheng clenched his fist. The words "I miss you" had really stunned him. He managed to suppress his smile, and his eyes flickered slightly as he thought about staying here for two days.
"The people from the agricultural research institute will stay here for two days. They eat lunch at the local villagers' homes and usually sleep at the local villagers' homes at night."
Shen Yuzhu was immediately delighted. "So you'll be staying for two days too? I have an empty room at home. Would you like to come and stay? I'll cook you something delicious."
"This...this isn't right. Although we're engaged, but..."
"If you don't want to, then forget it."
"If you're willing, then it's settled."
Zhou Congsheng chuckled. What was wrong with that? What was wrong with that? She had finally become his fiancée, and before he could even properly cherish her, they were separated. He had such a good opportunity to have a good talk with his wife.
During his lunch break, Lü Jianshe carried a hoe up to the ditch, lifted his clothes and vigorously wiped his face, then walked along the path.
When he went to work today, he saw that Shen Yuzhu's fiancé had also come and talked to her for a while, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Just as he was striding forward with a bang, he saw Shen Yuzhu and her group coming over, chatting and laughing.
Zhou Congsheng stood next to Shen Yuzhu and smiled when he saw her. "I didn't get a proper greeting last time I came. This must be Comrade Lü. Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"snort!"
Lu Jianshe glanced at him. The weasel was up to no good when it came to paying New Year's greetings to the chicken. Last time, when it was holding Shen Yuzhu, its eyes were full of provocation when it looked at him. Now it was saying "I'm so happy to meet you."
"What's wrong, Comrade Lü? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Shen Yuzhu looked at Lü Jianshe with a cold gaze.
“You’re fine. If he’s unhappy, let him be. Let’s go.”
"Zhuzhu, these are your friends after all. If I get along well with them, they can help you out if I run into any problems while I'm not here."
“I know, but if you really want to be my friend, you shouldn’t give my fiancé a hard time,”
Zhou Congsheng smiled gently at her, and the two walked side by side toward the courtyard.
Song Biao and Zhao Yue followed behind with stiff faces.
Lu Jianshe's face turned red with anger. He snorted at Lu Jianshe for saying anything. Why did Lu Jianshe give him such a hard time? Why was he so petty? What a stingy person.
Zhao Yue finally came to her senses after a long while, "What was that weird noise my brother just made?"
"What? What happened to the captain? I didn't see anything wrong. I greeted that man nicely, and he still gave me the cold shoulder. Luckily, our sister-in-law is on the captain's side."
Zhao Yue: "......."
You're an idiot too!!!
In the kitchen, there were fresh vegetables in a water tank, and a small jar hanging in the tank contained a piece of fresh pork belly that was cooling.
Shen Yuzhu washed her hands, took out two packets of noodles from the cupboard, and picked up the knife to chop vegetables when Zhou Congsheng came in.
"Zhuzhu, you go and rest, I'll do it."
"Just make some noodles and stir-fry some toppings, it's no trouble at all. We'll have a proper meal tonight. Go inside and chat with your comrades!"
Zhou Congsheng ignored her and took the cleaver. He was quick and efficient, and his chopping was not clumsy or slow. It was obvious that he had experience in the kitchen.
"Zhuzhu, we haven't had a proper talk since you came to Xiangyang Production Team. How have you been here? Tell me about it!"
"Okay, well, when should I start? I was quite disappointed when I first got on the train, but luckily, I made a good friend on the train, the one you met today, Qiao Wangshu. I didn't expect that she was also coming to Heilongjiang Province to go to the countryside. You know, I became famous on my first day in Xiangyang Production Team. The package you and Mom prepared for me was so big, with so many things, that it took several people to carry it to the educated youth settlement, haha... Later... the brigade leader and the villagers here were all very nice, and I went from being uncomfortable at first to getting used to it now."
Shen Yuzhu was still reminiscing about the interesting things that happened after she went to the countryside, as well as the difficulties she encountered at work. But Zhou Congsheng didn't say a word for a long time.
She paused, and when she looked up, she saw him with his brows slightly furrowed, and her heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Zhou Congsheng shook his head, his deep voice pursed as he looked at her.
"No, I'm not happy because you said you're doing well here. I'm just angry at myself for not being able to give you companionship and support."
"!!!"
"......"
"What are you saying? You may not be by my side, but you are protecting millions of people."
"As a soldier, this is what I should do. How could I not understand this? But Zhuzhu, seeing that I'm not among the people accompanying you, I actually feel a little jealous. Sometimes I'm really afraid that you will abandon me, after all, our engagement was something I forced."
Shen Yuzhu had never seen Zhou Congsheng like this before. She threw down the fire poker in her hand, stood up abruptly, walked up to him, and gently cupped his face in her hands.
“How could it be forced? It was my own choice. And how could I not want you? In my heart, no one else can compare to you, no one can compare to you.”
Zhou Congsheng blinked, quietly poured a bowl of water into the pot, and put his arm around her waist.
"I believe everything you say, so... hug me, okay?"
Almost the instant he spoke, Shen Yuzhu threw herself into his arms.
The two people squatting against the wall outside the kitchen stared in shock.
"........"
Playing the victim, how shameless!!!
