Chapter 80: Wild Beasts Hunting
Beasts of prey
Lin Xia was strolling. The temperature was not high in the afternoon and the wind from the sea felt very comfortable on her body.
The little guy was also very happy. Although he came to a strange environment, he adapted well with his mother around.
Yang Hongmei was holding her daughter and carrying a cloth bag, and she was in a hurry as always, rushing home to cook.
"Hongmei!" The woman in red had been staring at the door, and when she saw her passing by, she hurriedly called out.
"Hey? What's the matter?" Yang Hongmei heard someone calling her, stopped and looked into the yard. The two women were both acquaintances in the family quarters.
The woman in red quickly waved and called her in.
"What's the matter?" Yang Hongmei didn't know what she was keeping in suspense. Seeing that it was still early, she decided to go in and sit down.
"Hey! Is Captain Lu's wife here?" the round-faced woman asked curiously.
Yang Hongmei was confused at first, but she knew what was going on when she heard this. She sat down, stretched her arms and said, "Go get me a glass of water! I'm so thirsty!"
The woman in red pushed her when she heard that, but she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she turned around and went into the house to get some water.
Yang Hongmei drank the whole jar of water with a gulp and took a breath.
"Hurry up and say it!" The woman in red urged her when she saw that she didn't say anything after drinking the water.
"Yes!" Yang Hongmei drew out her voice, with a look of pride in her eyes.
"Hurry up and tell me, don't keep us in suspense!" The round-faced woman couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"She arrived last night! I saw her today!" Yang Hongmei is still amazed when she thinks of Lin Xia's appearance.
"So what we saw during the day was really her?" the round-faced woman recalled.
"Why? Did you meet her today during the day?"
"No, I just took a look from a distance. What does she look like? Is she prettier than Han Wei?"
"Beautiful! She is so pretty! Han Wei is nothing!" When Yang Hongmei heard them asking this, she knew that they really hadn't seen her, otherwise she would definitely not ask this question.
The two looked at each other, both somewhat unbelieving. Han Wei worked in the county hospital. She was pretty and knew how to dress up. She was very famous in their family quarters. So far, no one had ever seen anyone prettier than her.
"Hmph! Han Wei is nothing compared to her! Forget about you guys! I still have to go back to cook!" After saying that, he picked up his daughter and went out.
The two of them were left looking at her back, remembering her last words, looking at each other, and believing it a little more.
Yang Hongmei was not too angry. After all, they would see the person sooner or later and then they would know whether she was talking nonsense or not.
When I got to the door of my house, I saw Lin Xia with her child at the door. She was about to go in, so I hurriedly greeted her, "Xiao Xia, you just came back?"
"Hey, I just took a walk nearby. Sister-in-law, are you busy now?" He looked like he had just come back from outside.
"What's the matter?" Yang Hongmei was in a hurry to go home to cook, but now that she was already at the doorstep, she was not in such a hurry anymore.
Lin Xia thought about tomorrow's plan. She estimated that the man would not have time. She thought that there was a good candidate in front of her. After thinking about it, she asked, "Sister-in-law, please ask you a question. Where can I buy vegetables here?"
When Yang Hongmei heard this, she changed her mind and said enthusiastically, "Are you going to buy groceries? How about I ask you to go shopping with me tomorrow morning?"
When Lin Xia heard this, she thought it was great to have someone she knew leading the way. "Thank you, sister-in-law! When are we going tomorrow?"
"You don't have to go too early. Usually you can go after breakfast."
"Then please ask sister-in-law to call me when the time comes." When Lin Xia heard that it was not too early, she knew what was going on.
The two went back to their homes.
Not long after, Lu Yuxiu came back with two lunch boxes in his hands.
"How was your afternoon?" He put down the lunch box and asked Lin Xia.
He was afraid that she would not be able to get used to it, as she didn't know anyone here and was not familiar with the place.
"It's great! I made an appointment with Sister Yang to go grocery shopping tomorrow!"
"Well, that's good. Sister Yang has been here for many years and is very enthusiastic. You can find her if you need anything." After hearing this, Lu Yuxiu nodded and understood.
When his leader asked him to choose this house, he chose it himself. He chose this place on purpose because there was no one on the left and Captain Wu's house was on the right.
Captain Wu is a good person. His wife Yang Hongmei is warm and simple. She has some minor flaws, but she is easy to get along with.
"Yeah!" When Lin Xia heard him say that, she knew that the family next door should be a family that is easy to get along with.
"Let's eat."
"Let's go! Let's wash our hands and have dinner!" Lin Xia took the little one's hand to wash their hands, and the man followed behind.
After washing his hands, Lu Yuxiu opened the lunch boxes and placed them on the table one by one.
The staple food is steamed buns, a dish of braised hairtail fish and boiled shrimp, and a dish of vegetables.
They ate a lot in the afternoon, but they were not very hungry and planned to eat more vegetables.
Lin Xia pulled out the bones of the hairtail and gave it to the little one to eat, and then peeled two shrimps for her.
"Thank you, Mom~" An An looked at the shrimp meat in the bowl and picked up some with her little hands and started eating.
After Lin Xia peeled the shrimps for her, she wiped her hands, looked down, and saw several peeled shrimps in her bowl.
Seeing the man wiping his hands, Lin Xia felt sweet in her heart and blurted out, "Thank you, husband!"
Lu Yuxiu paused when he heard this, with a puzzled expression on his face. "What do you mean?"
"Hmm?" Seeing his confused face, Lin Xia suddenly remembered that it seemed that it was not popular to call him husband now.
Then she explained: "Hubby means dear! It means my husband!"
When Lu Yuxiu looked at the little girl and said this, his expression was open and without a trace of shyness, as if it was a matter of course.
My heart skipped a beat when I heard the word 'dear', and I said with a straight face, "Hurry up and eat."
Lin Xia secretly glanced at his ears, and seeing that they were slightly red, she knew that he was a little embarrassed, and smiled in her heart.
People at this time are still very reserved. When she suddenly heard such a straightforward name, she couldn't help but understand!
After the meal, Lu Yuxiu washed the lunch box before he came to his senses and his expression was no longer so serious.
When he came out of the kitchen, he saw Lin Xia carrying a stool and sitting with An An in the corridor at the door, so he also carried a stool and went out.
"Dad, when are you going to rest?" An An remembered something, raised his little face, and asked with a slightly frown.
"Hmm?" Lu Yuxiu didn't understand. What news?
"Yes, rest!" Lin Xia added.
"Yes! When does Daddy take a rest?" the little guy asked again.
"Rest on the 10th." They only have one break every ten days. He never took a break in the past, but he would start to rest from now on.
"One...two..." The little guy counted on his fingers, but found that he didn't know how to do it, so he looked at Lin Xia for help.
Lin Xia held her little hand and taught her, "Today is the sixth, start from seven, seven! Eight! Nine!"
She counted with one finger each time, and when she was done, Lin Xia asked softly, "How many days is this?"
"Three days!" The little guy said a number and then looked at Lin Xia to confirm whether he was right.
Seeing her nod, she jumped into Lu Yuxiu's arms, "Great! We'll go crab catching in three days!"
"What crab?" Lu Yuxiu held the little body in his arms and asked curiously after hearing their conversation.
"I told An An that after you rest, I will take us to the beach to catch crabs!"
Seeing the eagerness in the little girl's eyes, Lu Yuxiu knew that she also wanted to play.
With a gentle expression on his face, he said, "Okay, as long as it doesn't rain."
After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Xia staring at him.
Lin Xia looked up at the sky. The sunset glow in the evening was also very beautiful. It would be sunny all day today. Wouldn't she be so unlucky that it would rain in three days?
"It's okay, you will have the chance to go in the future." Seeing this, Lu Yuxiu smiled and comforted her.
The family of three watched the sunset leisurely, then got up to boil water for a shower.
Of course, Lu Yuxiu was the last person to take a shower, so he checked the doors and windows as usual before going upstairs.
Before entering the room, I heard Lin Xia's gentle voice coming from inside, telling An An a short story about idioms.
It was the first time he heard her tell a story. Her gentle voice matched the rhythm of the story, and he was drawn into it unconsciously.
When the story was finished, Lu Yuxiu looked at Lin Xia with deep eyes and asked in a low voice: "An An is sleeping here?"
When the little guy heard this, he seemed to want to chase her away, and rolled over and stuck close to Lin Xia.
"I want to sleep with mommy, and daddy can sleep alone." The little baby voice was filled with possessiveness. Mommy's body was soft and fragrant, and she wanted to sleep with her mommy.
And she also knows that her mother used to sleep with her father, and it was only after her father left that she could sleep with her mother. She didn't know this before, and that's why she doesn't want to sleep alone now.
Lin Xia pretended not to understand the man's eyes, "Yes, An An just came here and is not familiar with it yet, of course she will sleep with us."
Seeing this, Lu Yuxiu looked at her with gradually deepening eyes, then closed his eyes and lay down.
Lin Xia's heart was beating fast, and she regretted that she had gotten angry during the day. She hugged the little guy and felt relieved.
I closed my eyes but couldn't fall asleep. I felt something was wrong. I secretly opened my eyes and glanced at the man, only to find that he still had his eyes closed and didn't move.
Lu Yuxiu felt Lin Xia's gaze on him and stood still.
When wild beasts hunt, they are best at waiting.
