Chapter 82: Blood is strong and palms are hot
Chu Yue did not hide her money-loving look. Her sparkling eyes and the money spread out next to the pillow were all seen by Lu Zhanlin.
She raised her head high, revealing her fair and slender neck, and the quilt slid down slightly from her shoulders.
Under the warm yellow light, Chu Yue's beautiful and delicate face seemed to be glowing.
Chu Yue hadn't seen Lu Zhanlin for several days since the day she had the iron pot stew with Xu Feng. Suddenly seeing the tall man again was a surprise that she had not expected.
Chu Yue looked up at Lu Zhanlin, "You're back? Is the training over?"
"Not yet. I just came back for a last-minute visit. I won't be back until the last two days before the New Year." Lu Zhanlin took off his military cap and placed it on the cabinet beside him. The moment his black eyes met Chu Yue's, the winter chill seemed to be driven away by a warm current. He spoke slowly and in a low voice, "Are you going down the mountain today?"
"Yeah! We took a car down the mountain. I brought ginseng, pine nuts, and yams down the mountain to sell." Chu Yue answered Lu Zhanlin frankly and was about to stand up excitedly.
Lu Zhanlin walked closer, pressed her shoulders, and said with concern, "Don't get up, it's cold at night."
Chu Yue lowered her head, shrank her neck and hid in the quilt. Unconsciously, the smile on her lips became sweeter.
She felt under the pillow, took out something, and handed it to Lu Zhanlin.
"Look."
The word "simple" carries a little bit of showing off.
That's a passbook.
After Chu Yue finished her business at the market, she went to the bank to open an account.
Lu Zhanlin opened the passbook and saw that the account holder was Chu Yue. The bank staff wrote in the account by hand, "Deposit: Five Hundred Yuan."
He raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and looked at Chu Yue in surprise, with a look of "Why so many?" written on his deep face.
Chu Yue had been waiting for this moment. "The three hundred yuan in here, as I told you before, is what I brought from home, which is what you gave me. The two hundred yuan in here is what I earned from selling ginseng today. It's not safe to keep so much money at home, it's better to put it in the bank. Not only is it safe, but you can also earn interest. When we have more money in the future, we can also buy some government bonds and make money then!"
In a soft and sweet voice, she whispered about her savings plan.
"When you get your salary, I'll save some every month. Yuanbao is still young and doesn't need money. When he grows up, we'll send him to the city to go to college and buy him a house in the city, which will cost a lot of money."
Chu Yue muttered to herself that houses in the city would be very expensive in the future, so she had to save money as soon as possible.
Lu Zhanlin held the passbook in his hand, his fingers gently stroking the paper, as if he had already seen the blank space and would write line by line.
He pointed to the scattered money beside him and asked, "What about these?"
"These are earned at the market. Don't think they are just loose change. I counted them up and there are nearly twenty yuan! It's enough for our family to eat for one or two months." Chu Yue was still smiling happily.
Lu Zhanlin asked, "Is it tiring to carry so many things back and forth?"
"Hard work? How could it be hard work? I'm so happy about making money!" Chu Yue once again revealed her money-grubbing expression. However, after all, they had a quarrel at the market, so she asked seriously, "My sisters-in-law saw me setting up a stall at the market today. Did it bother you?"
"No, this is something you like, so feel free to do it. Did the sisters-in-law give you any trouble?"
"No."
Chu Yue shook her head, too embarrassed to tell Lu Zhanlin that not only was she not embarrassed, but she was actually left speechless by him.
Lu Zhanlin had never seen this side of her before. After all, he was her husband, so she had to at least maintain some image for him.
Lu Zhanlin handed the passbook back to Chu Yue. When Chu Yue took it, she touched Lu Zhanlin's fingers, which were icy cold.
Lu Zhanlin dodged quickly, but Chu Yue grabbed his hand first.
She frowned, a little worried, "Why is it so cold?"
The soft and white palm tightly grasped the man's broad palm. Not only was there contact of skin temperature, but Chu Yue's fingertips secretly pressed the acupoints on Lu Zhanlin's palm.
Lu Zhanlin's arm was slightly stiff. With his strength, he could easily pull his hand back, but he stopped the moment Chu Yue frowned, lingering on the warmth on his palm.
Because the place where new recruits are trained is not in the same place as the military district camp, Lu Zhanlin could have spent the night in the new recruit training camp like Xu Feng, without having to come back from time to time.
But he is no longer alone, he has a wife and children at home, so every time he comes back, it takes time and effort. He has to endure the cold wind and brave the cold at four or five in the morning. Lu Zhanlin still tries to come back to take a look.
I don’t know if it was because Chu Yue’s massage was effective or because Lu Zhanlin had a strong blood and energy, but after a while, his palms became hot.
Chu Yue said, "Change it."
The tall and majestic man was particularly obedient. Lu Zhanlin changed his hand and placed it in Chu Yue's palm, allowing her to touch and pinch it.
This made people think of the night a few days ago, also in this room, when he took off his clothes and these hands applied cooling oil on his red body.
Lu Zhanlin's Adam's apple slid, his eyes darkened, and his gaze shifted from Chu Yue to Lu Yuanbao who was sleeping soundly beside him, before he calmed down a little.
I heard Chu Yue's soft murmurs in my ears.
"...Everything went smoothly today, except that when I was waiting in line at the supply and marketing cooperative, they were sold out of pork, so I couldn't buy any."
"Pork?"
"Well, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is scrambling to buy pork, which is not easy to find. This is our first New Year with Yuanbao, and I want to make it a prosperous and lively occasion."
Under the light, Lu Zhanlin and Chu Yue's conversation was like that of an ordinary couple.
Lu Zhanlin asked, "Besides pork, what else do you want?"
"What do I want... I want a lot! For example, a bicycle!" Chu Yue's voice rose. "Now I have to take a bus every time I go down the mountain. The bus only runs once a week. It's so inconvenient. If I had a bicycle, I could go down the mountain whenever I want."
Among the money and bills that Lu Zhanlin gave to Chu Yue, there was a bicycle ticket, but Chu Yue went to the supply and marketing cooperative twice, and didn't see a bicycle, not even a tire.
If that doesn't work, then spend a little more money and buy one from someone else.
Chu Yue had this plan in mind, but she had not yet told Lu Zhanlin about it.
Lu Zhanlin listened to her words and kept them in mind.
His palms felt warm, and he pulled them back from Chu Yue's hand, ready to go wash up, "It's time to go to bed."
