Chapter 28
The attitude of the Chinese people towards hu ou hua
Hu Ouhua held back her vomiting the entire time and managed to finish her meal.
After dinner, she was not idle either. She walked into the kitchen with familiarity and helped Liu Mei clean the kitchen, wash the dishes and scrub the stove. Her hands and feet were more dexterous than Liu Mei's.
Liu Mei was afraid that she would take her job away. Hu Ouhua smiled and said, "I will go to school in two months, Aunt Liu."
Although the words were nonsensical, they were recognized by Liu Mei.
After dinner, she cleaned up the second bedroom on the first floor and arranged for Hu Ouhua to live in it.
Hu Ouhua didn't want to stay at Lu's house any longer.
She has been pregnant for a month and has not shown any signs of pregnancy. If she suffers from frequent morning sickness, it will arouse suspicion from the Lu family. They might think that she seduced Lu Yuetang in Ningcheng...
By then she would become a vixen who was condemned by all men for seducing Gao Gan's son, and even the child would suffer as well.
Then the gain is not worth the loss.
Hu Ouhua was thinking about where to find a part-time job, preferably one before school starts.
During the afternoon break, she asked Liu Mei.
Liu Mei shook her head and said, "The hiring of aunties in the military compound is extremely strict. You just came from another place, and it is basically impossible to find a job here."
If the aunties in the compound move around, it will also be digested internally.
Hu Ouhua had to give up her crazy idea of working as a nanny in the compound.
After thinking it over, she still had no idea.
After staying at the Lu family for three days, she couldn't stand it anymore and found Lu Yuetang who was about to go out: "Brother Yuetang, wait a moment, I want to ask you for a favor..."
Lu Yuetang looked back and glared at her: "Why, are you not used to living here?"
"No... I want to find a short-term job. Do you think there is any place that would hire me as a summer intern?" she said truthfully.
Lu Yuetang frowned.
Did she hear some rumors at his house, or did someone give her a cold shoulder?
"Brother Yuetang, you know I've never been able to sit still. Even after the college entrance exam, I've been tutoring the children in the family compound. I feel depressed when I'm free." Hu Ouhua said again.
When she said this, Lu Yuetang believed it.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. When I find a suitable one, I'll let Fu Bai arrange for you to go." Lu Yuetang.
"Thank you, Brother Yuetang."
Lu Yuetang nodded slightly, then walked out.
Inside the door not far away, Grandma Lu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Although Shen Fubai said that Hu Ouhua helped a lot in Ningcheng, this girl was born with a coquettish face, especially her big eyes. When she stares at a man, even if she doesn't take the initiative, she will release charm. She is worried that Sun Ziting can't stand it, and will get lost in the gentle countryside and make the wrong choice.
She has been observing secretly these days.
Fortunately, Hu Ouhua did not do anything out of line and did not take the initiative to approach Sun Zi.
Just when she was about to let down her guard, Hu Ouhua found Sunzi. At first, she thought this woman's true colors were exposed and she couldn't help herself. Unexpectedly, she asked Sunzi to find a part-time job...
Fortunately, fortunately.
Thinking of this, she found her daughter-in-law Gu Wanru who had not yet left the house.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Gu Wanru.
Grandma Lu held her arm and whispered, "Our Yuetang is not young anymore. You should arrange for him to meet the girls we met last time. It's time to put marriage on the agenda."
Gu Wanru laughed.
She held her mother-in-law's hand and comforted her, "Mom, are you worried that Yuetang has lost his sense of propriety and would fall in love with a girl from a small place? You can see that Hu Ouhua only has a face, and men only want novelty for a few nights. When choosing a wife, they will still consider the family background and whether they are a good match."
But.
My son is indeed not a child anymore and he should have been married and had children a long time ago. If it weren't for the accident during the mission he participated in earlier years, the doctor said that he had a poison in his body and temporarily lost his fertility.
Otherwise, Lu Yuetang's marriage would not have been delayed until now.
"That being said, if Hu Ouhua sees the prosperity of Beijing and becomes greedy, she starts to pester us and ruins the reputation of Yuetang. It will be another matter as to who will be willing to marry a good girl from Beijing," said Grandma Lu.
"Got it. I'll arrange it."
Gu Wanru agreed readily.
Her husband, Lu Baiting, went to another province for a meeting and has not been in Beijing for the past few days. So she has to take charge of arranging blind dates for her son.
Nightfall.
Lu Yuetang came back with heavy steps. Before he could sit down to drink a sip of tea, Gu Wanru called him to the study and closed the door.
He sat down in the chair opposite the desk, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Wanru took out a few photos from the drawer and spread them out one by one. "Take a look and see if you see any that look good to you. If you do, we can talk about the rest later."
Lu Yuetang was very upset.
He said with a smile, "Why, seeing an innocent girl living in your home, you are worried that I will do something inappropriate and ruin the reputation of the Lu family?"
"Yuetang, you should have a more serious attitude. This is human nature. You have been dragged to this point. Getting married and building a career is the attitude you should have. You know very well that with your current situation, if you want to move forward, you must have a stable family." Gu Wanru said.
Organizations have always been about personal issues.
Lu Yuetang relaxed his back slightly, leaned back on the chair, and said quietly, "Didn't I check last time and find out that I have lost the ability to pass on my family line as a man? This is tantamount to harming others."
This is a matter that the Lu family is reluctant to mention, and it has been kept a secret.
Gu Wanru was also heartbroken.
But she must face difficult challenges head-on.
"The longer you wait to get married, the more gossip there will be. Then anything can be spread. No matter what, you must not escape this blind date. I will let you know the time and place when the time comes."
"You arrange it, but you should be clear about my principles."
Gu Wanru was stunned.
She knew that her son meant that if they were in love, he would not hide the secret of his infertility.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Wanru gritted his teeth and agreed.
Although it takes a lot of courage to take this step, procrastinating is not the solution to the problem. Just close your eyes and move forward.
After Lu Yuetang left the study, he went upstairs.
After he finished washing up, he remembered that he had not read a document yet, so he went downstairs again to the study.
The signal to turn off the lights in the compound had already been sounded.
Everyone at home is resting.
It's pitch black downstairs.
When he walked to the study, he heard a noise from the toilet. As a soldier, he was instinctively alert. He moved closer and sure enough, he saw a black shadow.
"Who?"
He attacked fiercely, his palms turned into shackles, and he suddenly grabbed the man. But just as he pulled the figure, he saw that the other person's feet were unstable and he fell directly into his arms, letting out a muffled "ah".
Then he felt his chest go soft, and a smooth touch came over him, rubbing against his ears, making him feel hot and itchy.
She was about to fall.
He subconsciously stretched out his hands to hold her plump arms: "How is it, did you fall?"
Hu Ouhua's hair was still dripping with water, her body was covered in sweat, and her arms were painful from being pinched by him, but fortunately she did not fall down... otherwise it would be troublesome.
She quickly stood up, straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Brother Yuetang. I didn't have time to turn off the lights when I was washing my hair just now, so I was a little late. I'm sorry to bother you."
“…It’s okay.” Lu Yuetang’s throat tightened.
