Chapter 135: Coax? Just coax him
And so, a few more days passed.
On the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lu Zhanlin was busy in the army and came back late. By then, Lu Yuanbao had already washed up and gone to bed.
Lu Zhanlin originally thought that Chu Yue had gone to bed early, but he didn't expect that after walking into the yard, he saw the lights on and the blurry figure reflected in the window.
His wife hasn't gone to bed yet and is still waiting for him!
This thought flashed through Lu Zhanlin's mind, and the man who was always calm and composed unconsciously quickened his pace.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Yue sitting under the light.
Lu Zhanlin's Adam's apple moved, and he said in a deep voice, "Ayue, I'm back."
There was a notebook in front of Chu Yue, and she was writing something quickly with a pen in her hand. She immediately looked up when she heard Lu Zhanlin's voice.
She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled brightly, "You're back."
Chu Yue quickly put down the pen in her hand, stood up quickly and walked towards Lu Zhanlin.
Lu Zhanlin was stunned. Was he just… just… so enthusiastic? Was his wife about to throw herself at him? It seemed like there was nothing wrong with that.
But he hasn't taken a shower yet, and he's sweaty from training during the day. Will she be disgusted?
As Chu Yue took just a few steps, countless questions flashed through Lu Zhanlin's mind, and he even hesitated whether to raise his arms to hug Chu Yue.
After all, his wife is so proactive, and he, as a husband, cannot be too dull, wouldn't that make him unromantic?
Lu Zhanlin's arm moved slightly, and his fingertips almost touched Chu Yue's clothes, but they just - brushed past.
A gust of wind blew by, and the man's face was instantly filled with disappointment.
From the moment Chu Yue stood up, her attention was no longer on Lu Zhanlin, but behind Lu Zhanlin.
After she walked over, she opened the door that Lu Zhanlin had just closed, stuck her head out to look at the dark yard, and asked, "Zhanlin, are you having a meeting tonight?"
Lu Zhanlin came back to his senses after a daze, "...Yes, I was in a meeting, so I was late."
Chu Yue continued to ask, and listened attentively to the noise coming from the next room. "I heard that Sister Song also attended this meeting? Is Sister Song back?"
"Sister Song has returned. This meeting is not a military meeting, but an organizational logistics meeting, so Sister Song also participated." Lu Zhanlin didn't know why Chu Yue asked these questions, but as long as it did not involve confidential information, he would answer whatever Chu Yue asked.
After hearing this, Chu Yue nodded and said, "Since you're back, Sister Song should be here soon..."
While they were talking, Chu Yue moved her ears and heard the sound of a door opening and closing in the yard next door. It was Song Hongmei who came back.
Song Hongmei has been in the surrounding villages for several days in a row. She is afraid that people will die in the village due to the harsh cold conditions, so she can't put down the work in her hands. Today she is finally back.
I'm glad you're back!
Chu Yue's eyes flashed. After confirming that Song Hongmei had returned home, she turned around and went back into the house and closed the door.
She turned around and almost bumped into Lu Zhanlin's chest. She looked up at the man in front of her in surprise and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you still standing here? Don't you want to go take a shower and go to bed?"
Lu Zhanlin's thick eyebrows knitted together slightly, a puzzled look on his handsome face, "Are you waiting for Sister Song to come home?"
……yes.
Chu Yue subconsciously wanted to blurt out that her purpose tonight was to confirm whether Song Hongmei had returned. If Song Hongmei was not there, the subsequent plan would not be able to continue.
Why did Lu Zhanlin ask to confirm something so obvious?
Seeing that Lu Zhanlin's brows were getting more and more furrowed, he seemed unhappy, just like Lu Yuanbao when he was angry.
Although Lu Yuanbao is usually very sensible and never acts unreasonably, he is still a child after all and has some strange ideas.
So... now Lu Zhanlin has some strange thoughts in his mind.
Chu Yue's mind suddenly lit up, her eyes instantly cleared, and she shook her head and said, "Of course not, I'm waiting for you to come home."
Lu Zhanlin's brows relaxed as he heard these words.
bingo!
It seems she knows the reason.
This man looks cool and mature, but he can actually lose his temper just like Lu Yuanbao. When he loses his temper, he is unhappy and needs someone to coax him.
Forget it, after all, she has lived longer than Lu Zhanlin, so just coax him.
"Today, my sister-in-law asked me when Sister Song would return to the compound so they could all go and wish her a happy new year. They thought we were neighbors, so they asked me to listen for any noises and notify them immediately if Sister Song returned."
Chu Yue explained.
After hearing this, Lu Zhanlin's last bit of unhappiness disappeared. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his black eyes became deep and gentle.
Chu Yue urged, "Zhan Lin, I've put your change of clothes in the bathroom. Go wash them quickly so we can go to bed early."
Lu Zhanlin responded, "Well, thank you for your hard work, my wife."
When Chu Yue heard this address, she repeated the word "wife" in her mind again and murmured softly, "This man is quite capable."
…
What Chu Yue said to Lu Zhanlin were not lies made up on the spur of the moment.
The next morning.
Chu Yue brought Lu Yuanbao and many sisters-in-law from the compound to Song Hongmei's house to wish her a happy new year.
"Sister Song, today is not even the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, but the New Year itself. We would like to wish you a happy New Year and good health and success in your work."
A group of children bowed their heads and bent over to wish Song Hongmei a happy new year.
Song Hongmei always liked children. She smiled and took out peanuts, sunflower seeds and candy. "Happy New Year to you all too. Take some and eat them. Don't be polite, just help yourself."
The sisters-in-law all regarded Song Hongmei as their leader. They did not dare to act unruly, nor did they allow the children to act unruly. They just let the children take some food and go play quickly, and not disturb the adults from talking.
Chen Fengying said with concern, "Sister Song, you've worked so hard. You weren't at home on New Year's Eve. The conditions in the surrounding villages are so poor. You must take care of your health, wear more clothes, and eat more. Your health is the capital of revolution."
When Song Hongmei heard this, she naturally thought of what happened on New Year's Eve and looked up at Chu Yue.
She smiled and said, "It's not hard for me. I'm not the only one working. There are other people working with me. Sister Chu also helped me a lot."
"Sister Song, we all heard about it! Sister Chu delivered a cow on New Year's Eve, didn't she? I've lived for thirty years and I've never seen a cow give birth to a calf. Can you tell us? How did Sister Chu do it? What did the calf look like when it came out?"
Upon hearing this, Song Hongmei started laughing, "Hahaha... You shouldn't be curious about this, it's not a good thing."
"Why?" the sisters-in-law asked in confusion, thinking that a cow giving birth to a calf should be as interesting as a rabbit giving birth to a calf! The little cubs are so cute.
But Song Hongmei covered her mouth and laughed, and Chu Yue was also laughing.
And you're smiling so strangely?
