Chapter 488 Chu Yue is the third
Chen Fengying's eyes moved, and she chattered for a while, explaining the purpose of her visit.
In short, their goal was to drag Chu Yaoyao along to open up wasteland and cultivate the land on their private plot.
Chen Fengying's excuse was, of course... "Sister Chu, this is a collective activity for the military wives in our compound. Aren't you going to join in?"
Compound...military wives...group activities?
Every word hit Chu Yaoyao's heart hard. She was so moved. The sisters-in-law in the compound didn't come to find Chu Yue, but came to find her. Doesn't this prove that her existence has surpassed Chu Yue?
Chu Yaoyao asked, "Participate! I will definitely participate! Sisters-in-law, when are we going?"
Chen Fengying said, "Right now!"
She grabbed Chu Yaoyao's hand, full of enthusiasm, but also afraid that Chu Yaoyao would change her mind, so she decided to catch her first.
Chu Yaoyao was stunned. "Now? But I haven't eaten my buns yet."
She was in such a hurry to come out just now that she didn't eat much for breakfast and even forgot about the meat buns she missed the most.
Chen Fengying held her tightly and refused to let go. "Chu sister, let's go. It will be too late if we don't leave now. Didn't you just have breakfast? Come with us. Are you alone in your family? There's a lot of farm work. I'm afraid you can't finish it all by yourself. Why don't you ask your mother to come along?"
Chu Yaoyao thought about it and realized that this was the truth. It would definitely not work if she was asked to do the work. She still had to rely on Li A'mei's help. So she didn't have time to think about it and called Li A'mei out. The two of them were surrounded by the sisters-in-law in the compound and walked up the mountain road.
They had no idea what was waiting for them.
…
Once Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei left, Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin no longer had to act.
Chu Yue clapped her hands, stood up, and said, "I'm going to the city today, taking Yuanbao with me. I'll probably be back around three or four in the afternoon."
"Well, be careful on the road. The sun is strong, so remember to wear a hat." Lu Zhanlin once again performed a medical miracle and stood up from the wheelchair. However, it was too troublesome to remove the gauze on his head and then tie it back on, and he had to hold it for a while. He said, "I have to go to the army. Judging from the situation, the two of them won't be back before dark. I'll make dinner, and you can come back early to eat."
Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with surprise. It had been a long time since she had eaten the food cooked by Lu Zhanlin, and it had also been a long time since the three of them had been alone together.
Lu Zhanlin wanted the three of them to have dinner alone before Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei came back.
Chu Yue understood what he meant and said with a smile, "I will come back early and wait for the dinner made by Captain Lu."
Afterwards, she put on a straw hat, picked up Lu Yuanbao, and rode her bicycle to the city.
It has been two or three days since Chu Yue came back, but she was delayed by Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei and was unable to come to the grocery store to take a look.
"Zhaodi, I'm back!"
Chu Yue shouted and walked into the familiar store.
When she looked up, she saw not Ye Zhaodi's face, but... Fang Xiuli.
"Why...are you here?"
Fang Xiuli was not standing outside the counter. She was standing inside. Such a beautiful and noble lady was holding a rag in her hand. The moment Chu Yue walked in, Fang Xiuli was just lowering her head to wipe the glass of the counter.
Is Fang Xiuli working? Or is she working in her shop?
How could she have deserved to have the eldest lady of the capital work for her?
Chu Yue looked around carefully in surprise and discovered some different little details.
Her shop, once meticulously maintained by Ye Zhaodi, was remarkably clean and bright, with everything neatly arranged. But now, the glass was so clean it reflected light, and the merchandise on the shelves seemed to be arranged in a straight line. The person doing this must have either a mysophobia or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The only person Chu Yue could think of was Fang Xiuli, who was holding a rag in front of her.
Fang Xiuli had never expected that Chu Yue would actually witness this scene. She frowned and asked impatiently, "Have you dealt with the troubles at home?"
As soon as she finished saying this, Fang Xiuli quickly threw away the rag in her hand, raised her hand to smooth her hair and grab her clothes. After all, the proud young lady didn't want to be in a mess.
But when she raised her hand, she found that her hand had just taken the rag. Even though the rag was clean, Fang Xiuli still felt it was dirty. She didn't want to touch her body before washing her hand.
As a result, Fang Xiuli raised her hand, which was stiff in mid-air. She wanted to touch but didn't dare to. She felt extremely embarrassed.
Just when Fang Xiuli was feeling uneasy, Chu Yue walked over and hugged her with open arms.
It was a big hug filled with passion and energy.
Chu Yue whispered in Fang Xiuli's ear, "Fang Xiuli, we haven't seen each other for over a month. It's so nice to see you now!"
The moment Fang Xiuli was hugged by Chu Yue, her whole body was stiff and she didn't know how to react. She rarely had such physical contact with others, but as soon as she thought that this person was Chu Yue, she was not repulsed at all.
She didn't know why, but there was an unknown corner in her heart that was soft because of this person.
Such a thing has only happened twice in Fang Xiuli's life, once to Tan Siqi and once to Tan Rourou, and Chu Yue is the third one.
Fang Xiuli raised her hand, hugged Chu Yue gently, and said softly, "Chu Yue, you have worked hard."
Tan Siqi came back earlier than Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue, so after Tan Siqi came back, Fang Xiuli immediately asked about Chu Yue and Lu Zhanlin's situation in the disaster area. She heard many thrilling stories.
So even though she saw Chu Yue was unharmed and smiling brightly, she knew how many life-and-death moments Chu Yue had experienced in the past month.
Behind the word "hard work" is Fang Xiuli's sincere admiration for Chu Yue.
Ye Zhaodi had just gone to the restroom. When she came back, she saw a new figure in the grocery store. She thought it was a new customer, but after a closer look, she saw...
"Yuanbao! Sister Ayue! Sister Ayue! You're back!"
In an instant, Ye Zhaodi's eyes turned red and tears of excitement appeared in her eyes, ready to fall.
Chu Yue let go of Fang Xiuli and turned to look at Ye Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, I'm back."
Her arms were still open and she smiled brightly at Ye Zhaodi.
Ye Zhaodi's eyes were red and her nose was sore. She rushed towards Chu Yue like a child seeing her mother, hugged her tightly, and said excitedly.
"Sister Yue, it's great that you're back... It's great... I've been reading newspapers these days, all kinds of newspapers, hoping to see your message in them, but also afraid to see your message in them..."
The only things that make it into the newspapers are major events, either rescues or the death toll.
Ye Zhaodi was afraid of seeing something happen to Chu Yue, but she couldn't help searching for things related to flood control and disaster relief.
It was not until now, when she saw a healthy and complete Chu Yue, that Ye Zhaodi truly felt at ease.
