Chapter 463: Under siege
Lin Xia felt something was different as soon as she entered the room: "Have you cleaned up the house?"
The cabinets and tables in the house are all tidy, and the most important thing is that there are a few flowers in the vase on the coffee table.
"It's always been very clean, but I knew you would be back soon, so I cleaned it up again." Lu Yuxiu said without any attempt to take credit.
But Lin Xia felt inexplicably happy. She turned around and jumped onto Lu Yuxiu. The man reacted quickly and hugged her.
"Where did the flowers come from?" Lin Xia never thought that a man could be so romantic.
Lu Yuxiu blinked, "Balcony..."
Only then did Lin Xia remember the flowers on the balcony, but that didn't stop her from feeling happy.
"Hehe, do you miss us... a lot?" When Lin Xia thought of Lu Yuxiu quietly cleaning up the place, waiting for her and the kids to come back, she felt a warm current surge through her heart.
It has to be said that she was very lucky to meet a man who could support her in studying. After all, in the general perception, it seems that women who get married and have children must sacrifice for the family, and it seems that staying at home to take care of their husbands and children is their duty.
"What do you think?" The moment Lin Xia jumped over, Lu Yuxiu seemed to be prepared. He hugged his wife firmly. When he got close, he could smell a faint fragrance, which was familiar and strange.
"I won't say..." Lin Xia was not afraid at all that he couldn't hold her. She hugged the man's neck and gradually moved closer, drowning out the words she hadn't said.
After a long time, Lin Xia vaguely heard footsteps and patted the man on the back, "The children are coming back."
"It's not them." Lu Yuxiu uttered in a low voice and calmed his breathing silently.
"Aren't your hands tired? Put me down!" She was not light at all, and she felt that she should be tired after holding me for so long.
He wouldn't feel tired even if he held her for a while longer, but seeing that Lin Xia wanted to slide down, Lu Yuxiu didn't insist.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Lu Yuxiu waited until his breathing stabilized and asked Lin Xia in a gentle voice.
"I've eaten this morning, so I'm not hungry now." Lin Xia shook her head, "I want to take a shower."
Taking the bus and the boat, Lin Xia wore too many clothes in the winter and sweated easily, so she wanted to take a shower and change into home clothes.
"There is hot water, boil it for a while." There was water on the stove before going out in the morning. Lu Yuxiu knew that Lin Xia had the habit of washing up after returning home, so he prepared it early.
It was almost noon. Lin Xia went to wash up while Lu Yuxiu prepared lunch. He had some time off in the morning because someone else was on duty, so he had to go to the camp in the afternoon.
Lin Xia hasn't eaten Lu Yuxiu's cooking for a long time.
After lunch, several children couldn't wait to run out to find their friends. Lele ran the fastest with his basketball. An An wanted to help with the housework but was driven away by Lin Xia.
After sending the children away and the two adults doing something shameful, Lu Yuxiu hurried back to the camp.
Lu Yuxiu had cleaned the house tidy. Except for the New Year's goods that had not been prepared, Lin Xia didn't need to worry about anything else. She could only take a nap out of boredom.
Yang Hongmei wanted to conquer high heels at home so that she could go downstairs to show off early, so she didn't go out in the afternoon.
This was a tough time for those who were waiting for the two men to appear downstairs in the family compound.
I was so surprised in the morning that I didn't have time to talk to them. I thought I would see them in the afternoon and ask them more questions.
As a result, the two of them never came down. Only the children of the two families came downstairs. However, the children were very playful and became impatient after being asked a few questions.
Not to mention the three people in Captain Lu’s family, they are like cunning people and nothing can be answered no matter what you ask.
Because Lele was the first person to own a basketball, he immediately became the most popular child in the residential compound. A group of little boys ran to the basketball court to fight over it.
An An and her friends did not appear downstairs in the family compound at all. They went directly to their good friend's house. Holding the guitar they bought, several little girls gathered together to listen to An An play the piano.
The next day, Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei made an appointment to go out and buy New Year's goods. When they walked into the staff quarters, they were seen by several people.
Suddenly I saw that the people in front of me were very friendly.
Everyone smiled and said nice things: "Hongmei, your shoes are so beautiful!"
Yang Hongmei, who felt that she had conquered high heels, proudly waved her feet and asked everyone to see her shoes. "Not bad, right? These are small leather shoes, costing dozens of dollars!"
Some people looked at it enviously and asked curiously how much it cost.
Yang Hongmei dressed so elegantly when she went to buy New Year's goods today, just for this moment, just to be seen by other people in the family compound.
There was no rush to buy New Year's goods. Lin Xia just watched Yang Hongmei chatting with others.
Someone came over and asked quietly, "Xiao Xia, did you make a lot of money?"
Lin Xia turned around and found that it was Aunt Wang, the most gossipy person in the yard. Hearing this probing remark, she smiled and said, "No, it's all hard-earned money."
Being in the service industry is really hard work. They often have irregular meals and their waists and legs cannot bear standing for long periods of time. But fortunately, they earn more than others now.
Hearing Lin Xia say this, Aunt Wang's eyes were full of disbelief. If Yang Hongmei didn't make a lot of money, how could she have the money to buy this and that? And there were the toys her children brought out. A basketball cost several dollars, which most people couldn't afford.
At least most of the families in the staff quarters were reluctant to do so, not to mention that they were wearing so many new clothes, which they had never seen before.
"Do you still need help? I can go and help you!" Aunt Wang was disdainful in her heart, but she had already made up her mind to pester them.
She had a hunch that as long as she followed Lin Xia and the others, she would definitely be able to get rich! Wearing new clothes was no longer a dream!
"And me! I can help you too! I'm very efficient at work! I can do everything!" Someone nearby heard what Aunt Wang said to Lin Xia, and was afraid that he could not keep up, so he shouted loudly.
The people who were surrounding Yang Hongmei and speaking well of her looked over immediately when they heard this. Without further ado, one could tell what was going on just by listening to the first two sentences she shouted.
Suddenly everyone came over actively to introduce themselves, one said what they could do, another said what job they could do.
Suddenly, Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei were surrounded by several people, and it felt like there were several loud speakers in their ears.
Even when Lin Xia raised her hand and shouted to move aside, people still showed concern for her. Everyone was only concerned about whether they could get the benefit.
Yang Hongmei looked at the scene in front of her and was so scared that she was sweating all over. She originally wanted to show off, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.
"Whose money was lost?"
"mine!"
"My money is lost!"
While everyone was bending down to pick up the money, Lin Xia pulled Yang Hongmei out of the crowd.
