Lu Zhengguo took the wine he handed over and took a sip, "Long time no see."

Ever since the day Shen Man drugged him and climbed into bed, Gu Yang came to his house that night and had a fight with him. Since then, they haven't spoken to each other since.

Gu Yang sneered and said nothing.

Everyone present knew more or less about the conflict between the two.

If that incident hadn't happened back then, Shen Man would have been Gu Yang's wife by now.

They came up to smooth things over, "Come on, let's drink first. Today we'll just talk about happy things."

Zhang Dong also quickly stood between the two of them, first pulling Gu Yang away, and then pulling Lu Zhengguo to sit at the dining table.

"Brother Lu, eat and have some food. Today is your day. Let's eat and drink well and put other things aside for now."

"Xiangcan, go and ask your sister-in-law to come over and sit down to eat."

Before Shen Man could say anything, Liu Xiangcao immediately walked up to her and pulled her to sit next to Lu Zhengguo, "Sister-in-law, sit with Brother Lu."

Since they said so, she couldn't refuse and had to sit next to Lu Zhengguo.

However, the moment she raised her head, Shen Man happened to see Gu Yang sitting opposite her.

He smiled at her gently and her body froze instantly.

No one noticed that Lu Zhengguo put his hand under the table and held her hand, and his pain gradually worsened.

Especially when Gu Yang smiled at her, she even suspected that this man almost crushed her hand.

Liu Xiangcao, who was standing by, noticed that Shen Man had not picked up her chopsticks yet, so she picked up a piece of meat and put it into Shen Man's bowl.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you eat? Come, try this stir-fried pork. I made it at home. Dong said it's delicious, and I think it's okay too."

"And this, garlic-fried greens, is also good, sister-in-law, try it."

Shen Man smiled awkwardly but politely, picked up the meat in the bowl with her hands and put it into her mouth, "It tastes really good."

And her other hand was still tightly held by the man, and she couldn't pull it free even if she struggled hard.

Shen Man glanced at the man beside her. He seemed as if nothing had happened and was still eating and chatting with his brothers.

Haha, you really know how to pretend.

She took a deep breath, raised her foot and stepped hard on the back of Lu Zhengguo's foot.

Make him crazy!

With a plop, a piece of vegetable fell on the table.

In an instant, everyone stopped eating and their eyes fell on Lu Zhengguo's chopsticks.

Zhang Dong quickly tried to smooth things over, "Hahaha, it seems like the quality of my chopsticks is not good. It's time to change them."

He took the opportunity to knock away the piece of vegetable that fell in front of Lu Zhengguo.

Only Gu Yang, who was sitting opposite him, threw the handkerchief on the ground and bent down to pick it up.

When he saw the two people across from him holding hands tightly under the table, his face instantly turned cold.

So that's how it is.

When Gu Yang picked up the handkerchief and stood up, Shen Man noticed that Lu Zhengguo's hand gradually loosened.

She pulled her hand back from his palm.

Damn Lu Zhengguo, he's like a sick person.

Her hands were pinched red by him.

Tomorrow afternoon, she has to take the recruitment exam for the machinery factory. If this person really affects her exam, she will definitely not let him off easily.

At this moment, Shen Man's disgust towards Lu Zhengguo deepened.

Suddenly, someone looked at Shen Man and asked jokingly, "Sister-in-law, today is Brother Lu's birthday. Do you have any gifts for him?"

Shen Man smiled and said, "Of course I'm prepared. If you don't believe me, just ask him."

She stepped hard on Lu Zhengguo's foot again, and said in a gentle tone, "Right, Zhengguo."

As soon as these words came out, all the expectant eyes turned to Lu Zhengguo, "Brother Lu, tell me quickly, what has sister-in-law prepared for you?"

Feeling the clear pain coming from the back of his foot, Lu Zhengguo frowned and asked, "Want to know?"

The instigator laughed and said, "Of course I want to know."

Lu Zhengguo tilted his head to look at Shen Man, and paused, "Keep it a secret."

Laughter and funny voices rang out one after another, and everyone looked at Shen Man, "It turns out it's a secret. It seems we can't listen to it."

Shen Man's face suddenly turned red, she was angry.

She subconsciously glared at the man. No wonder Lu Zhengguo was so easy to talk to on the road. It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Gu Yang, who was sitting opposite the two of them, stood up and left when no one was paying attention.

He came here today for his sweetheart, wanting to explain to her that there was nothing going on between him and Shen Ping, but he didn't expect to see the two of them being so intimate.

I was so upset that I had to leave.

Gu Yang just returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Ping sitting in his house, talking to his parents.

His face turned cold instantly and he turned back to his room.

It's her again. Why is she haunting me?

Shen Ping looked at Gu Yang's back, feeling depressed, and her hands on her thighs clenched tightly unconsciously.

Gu's mother saw what she was thinking and sighed, "Xiao Ping, Gu Yang is just like that. Don't bother with him. How about you accompany Auntie to go shopping in the department store tomorrow?"

She knows better than anyone who her son likes.

But now that person is married, and his wife is a military officer, so they are destined not to be together.

Besides, except for not looking as good as Shen Man, Shen Ping seemed much better than Shen Man in other aspects.

Shen Ping hesitated, "Auntie, I'm going to participate in our machinery factory's recruitment tomorrow, so I may not be able to go with you, but I'll go with you in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother's eyes lit up instantly, "Xiao Ping, the exam is still important. If you study hard, you will be admitted successfully. Auntie will give you a gift."

There aren't many jobs available nowadays, and most of the time you have to have connections to get information about job openings.

Among them, only a few were able to pass the exam based on their own abilities. Only Shen Ping was able to pass the exam, and marrying her son in the future could be considered a good match.

Shen Ping pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Auntie."

With the help of her memories from her previous life, she has already mastered most of the test questions, so she is almost certain to get the position.

So what if Yang Fang used her father's money to buy a job for Shen Man?

But she was a female worker in a small textile factory workshop. The work was hard and the wages were low. She only made more than 20 yuan a month.

She was different now. She worked as a clerk in the publicity department of a machinery factory, earning more than 30 yuan a month, with various subsidy receipts, and she didn't feel tired at all sitting in the office.

The night deepens.

Lu Zhengguo said goodbye to Zhang Dong and left the Zhang family with Shen Man.

The two rode their bicycles through the streets at night.

Shen Man rolled her eyes. "Comrade Lu Zhengguo, please explain. What did you mean by dinner today?"

Her hands are still red.

If it affects tomorrow's exam, she really won't be able to help herself.
