"Qiqi, I have a big surprise for you next month!"
Lu Ye gnawed on several pieces of rabbit meat, took a big mouthful of rice, and said mysteriously that there was a surprise.
"Can't tell now?"
Ruan Qiqi had already guessed what the surprise was and teased him on purpose.
"No, the timing is not right. You will be able to eat preserved eggs with pounded chili peppers next month. I will make it for you!"
Lu Ye shook his head vigorously. The peppers haven't bloomed yet, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he told him about it.
Last time, Ruan Qiqi mentioned a bowl of pounded chili peppers and preserved eggs. Lu Ye remembered it and specially planted a few chili seedlings.
Pepper and preserved egg, not very pretty, but super delicious
"Okay, I'll have a surprise for you next month too!"
Ruan Qiqi picked up a chicken leg for him and prepared to take him into the space and treat him to milk tea.
Lu Ye likes sweets very much, and he must love Tea Salt Moonlight.
"What surprise? Qiqi, you have a cub?"
Lu Ye looked at Ruan Qiqi's belly happily. Inside was his and Qiqi's baby!
"It won't happen that fast. It's another surprise. You'll know next month. Come and eat!"
Ruan Qiqi glared. She was not opposed to having a baby. She would just let nature take its course. If she was pregnant, she would have the baby. If she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't force it.
Moreover, she felt that it would not be easy for her and Lu Ye to have a baby. She had read in novels that those people with powerful superpowers had difficulty in conceiving, while it was easy for ordinary people to have babies.
"Can't tell now?"
Lu Ye felt itchy in his heart.
"No, eat quickly!"
Ruan Qiqi scooped him a large spoonful of meat and urged him to eat.
"oh!"
Lu Ye was a little disappointed, but his disappointment was soon dispelled by the delicious food. He ate everything up. After eating, he took the initiative to clean up the dishes and put them in the basin.
There was rice washing water in the basin, and he added some hot water and carried it out.
"Where are you going to wash the bowl?"
Ruan Qiqi was going to the bathroom to get some water to wipe the table when she saw this guy coming downstairs and asked loudly.
"Go to Captain Xu's house to take a shower!"
Lu Ye replied and went downstairs in three steps.
In fact, he wanted to go to Captain Xu's house to do laundry at noon. That stupid woman Shang Lehua was like a cannon in Ji Xianglian's hand, shooting wherever she pointed. He was a very smart man and saw through the woman's true face at a glance.
Like Lin Manyun, Ji Xianglian was very hypocritical, but she was more cunning. She did a good job on the surface and won praise from the staff in the family building. She was named a model military wife for several consecutive years. She also did well in school. Not only was she named an outstanding teacher, she was also made a team leader and her salary increased.
Lu Ye knew everything about the people and things in the entire residential building. Let's put it this way, he knew what time a man went out at night better than his wife.
He hated women like Lin Manyun the most. He had never dealt with Ji Xianglian before. No matter how hypocritical this woman was, it had nothing to do with him. But this woman actually wanted to step on his Qiqi and flatter herself. Humph, don't blame him for being rude.
Captain Xu was not at home at noon and would come back for dinner in the evening. Lu Ye saw the opportunity and went to visit him with a bowl of food.
There were several military wives washing dishes in the corridor. When they heard this, their hearts skipped a beat and they all looked at Ruan Qiqi.
Ruan Qiqi remained calm, walked slowly to the bathroom, and fetched a basin of water.
"Sister Ruan, why don't you try to persuade Deputy Battalion Commander Lu?"
A woman in her thirties couldn't help but ask. She had a northern accent, was tall, strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Ruan Qiqi remembered that her name was Liu Dani.
The reason why I have a deep impression of this name is because in the novels I read in my previous life, women with the surname Liu were generally called Liu Ruyan. They were either vicious supporting actresses or sinister green tea characters. In any case, they were not good people.
Then the name Liu Dani, just like her, was very plain and unpretentious, and Ruan Qiqi remembered it accidentally.
"Why do you need to persuade him? He's washing the dishes, he's so sensible!"
Ruan Qiqi answered very sincerely. Her man was so well-behaved and he should be praised.
"Oh, you may not know this, but at noon your Deputy Battalion Commander Lu was washing clothes at Captain Zhou's house and made a scene, which made everyone feel uncomfortable."
Liu Dani is a straightforward person with a simple mind, so she told everything that happened at noon.
She didn't say that Lu Ye did anything wrong, but she felt it was inappropriate. After all, they lived in the same building and the men were comrades-in-arms. It wouldn't be good to make things so awkward.
But she also felt that Shang Lehua and the others were mean-spirited. It was a matter of mutual consent between the young couple, and it had nothing to do with these women. They were all just complaining about the sour grapes and being jealous.
"My Lu Ye is not feeling unwell. He ate five bowls of rice at night!"
Ruan Qiqi put a basin of water on the ground, and her hands always felt sore from holding it.
Liu Dani was choked and looked at her in an indescribable manner. This girl seemed very smart, so why couldn't she understand?
There should be no problem with her ability to express herself, right?
"Sister Liu, my Lu Ye went there to deepen the friendship between his comrades. He treats his comrades with such enthusiasm and passion. Really, my Lu Ye's merits cannot be counted in three days and three nights!"
Ruan Qiqi looked particularly proud, with a proud tone of "You are worthy of being my man".
Liu Dani and the other military wives were silent.
They finally confirmed that this Miss Ruan was indeed not very smart.
Talking to her is like talking to a deaf person, it's completely irrelevant and I feel so tired.
"Lu Ye, what do you mean? If you have something to say, tell me face to face. Don't play tricks on me. Why should I ask my cousin to wash your dishes?"
The roar of Captain Xu came from downstairs. He also had a bad temper and was no less angry than Captain Zhou.
"Captain Xu is a terrible person. He has no comradeship at all!"
Ruan Qiqi said this as she ran downstairs quickly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Liu Dani and the other women also ran down quickly.
There were already quite a few people standing in front of Captain Xu's house.
"Your cousin said it herself, that men have to work hard outside, so women should work more. She keeps saying this every other day. It's obvious that she is born to work like a cow or a horse. In order to satisfy her desire to work, I specially carried the bowls from the third floor to the first floor. My hands are sore from carrying them. You didn't thank me, but you cursed at me. Are you still a human being?"
Lu Ye's curse was heard immediately afterwards. His voice was lazy, and there was a special kind of ruffian and relaxed madness in it, which could be heard at once.
"You're here to cause trouble, aren't you? You don't have any servants? You want my servants to wash a few bowls. Lu Ye, get out of here. I'm going to fight you in a one-on-one duel!"
Captain Xu's face turned blue with anger, and he felt that Lu Ye was deliberately causing trouble.
Even though he didn't remember having offended this madman, he had been bullied right at his doorstep, so he had to defend his dignity and teach this madman a lesson!
"You are an old man, and my cousin told me to respect the old and love the young, and not to fight. Xu Shengli, I am talking to you rationally, don't you understand me? This matter was initiated by your cousin. I am happy to help my cousin wash clothes, dishes and mop the floor. Why do you say that my cousin is lazy?
There are so many women in the world, but she is the most diligent? She is the most outstanding? Since she is so outstanding, she can take care of all the work in my house. Wash the dishes first, and I will bring the clothes over tomorrow. Let your cousin empty the urine pot in the morning. If your cousin does a good job, I will definitely vote for her in this year's election of model military wives!"
Lu Ye was not impatient at all and spoke slowly and reasonably.
Ji Xianglian’s face turned paler and paler, and she began to panic.
[Some readers said that there are many dialects in the text, which affects the reading. I am really sorry. I will try my best to pay attention. In some places, it is indeed more contextual to use dialects. For example, "tangke" means wife in Hunan dialect. I usually explain it. There may be some omissions. I'm sorry.]
