Shen Man had just taken out clean clothes from the closet and was about to take a shower when she found that the man was still standing there, not moving at all.

She held the clothes in her arms and turned to look at Lu Zhengguo, "You're not going out?"

How can she take a shower if she doesn't go out? How can this person have no sense at all?

Lu Zhengguo pursed his lips, turned around, closed the door and left.

At this time, Lu's mother just came back, holding various vegetables she bought today.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Aihong ran up to her with a smile and helped her share some of the things in her hands.

"Auntie, it's been a long time since we last met. I missed you so much."

"I haven't seen you for so many years, Auntie, you are still the same as before, not much has changed. When I stand with you, people who don't know would think you are my sister."

After a few words, Lu's mother was so happy that she smiled happily. In an instant, the strange feeling of not seeing each other for so many years disappeared, and was replaced by kindness and sympathy.

Especially when she thought that Aihong had been able to graduate from high school in a country town and could even drive a tractor, and was no worse than a man, she was extremely pleased.

It's just a pity that this girl's luck is not very good. She finally found a partner in the city, but met a heartless and treacherous man.

He used Aihong to return to the city, but the next moment he dumped her and married someone else.

Seeing Aihong's expression, Mother Lu felt more pity for her. "You are such a sweet girl. You make me so happy."

"During this time, you should stay here for as long as you want. Just treat this place as your home."

"You can tell us anything. It just so happens that your brother Zhengguo is back these days. You can find him for anything."

Liu Aihong pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "Auntie, you are so nice to me."

The two of them entered the house carrying things and chatting quickly.

Mother Lu glanced around the room and saw only Lu Zhengguo, with no sign of Shen Man.

"Zhengguo, where is your wife? Someone is coming home. She is the one who is going to cook today. Please ask her to come out and cook. Aihong must be very hungry after sitting on the train for such a long time."

Lu Zhengguo stepped forward and took the dishes from the two people. "Mom, Shen Man was sick all night last night. She was not in a good mood this morning. She is getting better now and is taking a shower. Please help her with the meal today."

He is in the army, and washing clothes and cooking are basic tasks. Although the food tastes average, he can still do it.

Mother Lu looked up at the closed door, her face looking a little grim. "What's wrong with being sick? It's not a serious illness. Aihong was sick a while ago, but she went to teach in the primary school in their brigade."

"Aihong is two years younger than her. We are both women, so why is she so coquettish?"

Thinking back to the time when she gave birth to her first child when she was in her teens, she started working in the fields a few days after giving birth. She was also responsible for everything at home.

Shen Man, this daughter-in-law, is so unreasonable that she dares to let her own man help her cook and do housework.

She didn't want to go out and ask around to find out which daughter-in-law was as lazy and pretentious as her.

Lu Zhengguo frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Mom, Shen Man is sick. There is no difference between me cooking and her cooking."

He was carrying vegetables and meat in his hands and was about to go to the kitchen to cook.

When Mother Lu saw him like this, she was so angry that her heart ached.

She immediately stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, you are a grown man, how can you do these women's work? Marrying a wife is not for her to manage the household for you."

"You are so good that you rush to serve her. Even I, as a mother, have never been served like this by you."

The more Mother Lu spoke, the angrier she became. She had worked so hard to raise her son, but now he was willing to work for a woman. Who wouldn't be angry?

Especially since Shen Manxiao was not a good woman. She looked coquettish and charming, not a serious woman at all. My son clearly didn't like her before.

How come in just a few days, she managed to coax her son into cooking for her? Should she also coax her son into washing her clothes and pants next?

Lu Zhengguo's face suddenly turned cold, "Mom, Shen Man is not feeling well, I am not helping her cook, the housework at home can be done by everyone, it has nothing to do with me being a man or a woman."

"Shen Man is my wife now. What you said today was inappropriate."

"Today's meal, I said I would cook it, you just sit down and have a good rest, don't say those nonsense."

Liu Aihong, who was standing by, took Lu's mother's arm and said, "Auntie, it's rare for Brother Zhengguo to cook. Don't be angry. Come and taste the food he cooks later."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "How about this, I will cook this meal today, and you can taste my cooking skills."

As she spoke, Liu Aihong rolled up her sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen when she called Lu Zhengguo out.

Mother Lu grabbed her and said, "Oh, Aihong, how can I let you sit? You must be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time. Sit down and take a rest. I will ask Zhengguo to come out and tell you the truth right away."

"Today, Auntie is not going to the kitchen. You just wait for the meal."

Look at Ai Hong, and then look at Shen Man. You won’t know until you compare them. Once you compare them, the gap between them will be immediately apparent.

One is diligent and the other is lazy; Aihong has a big, round face, looks lucky, and a big butt that looks good for giving birth.

Shen Man was charming and lovely. Although she was the victim of what happened years ago, this fly would not bite a flawless egg. Maybe the person was targeting her.

It's just a pity for her Zhengguo, who obviously had a bright future and could have even married a female doctor in the army, but he happened to meet this lazy and restless woman.

Mother Lu entered the kitchen and drove Lu Zhengguo out. "Go out now. Leave this to your mother. Go out and help your mother entertain Aihong."

"She has come all the way to our house, you can't let her suffer any injustice."

Lu Zhengguo rubbed his brows and said, "Mom, men and women are different."

Even if he was not married, in such a special era, he could not get too close to female journalists. If he caused misunderstanding and was treated as a hooligan by those wearing red armbands, it would be a big trouble.

While washing vegetables, Lu's mother glared at him and said, "Look at what you are saying. Ai Hong is your sister, so what's wrong with you, as her brother, chatting with her?"

"Besides, this is home, how could anyone see us?"

Lu Zhengguo's face was cold, "She has no blood relationship with us, she is not my sister."

After saying this, without waiting for Lu's mother to speak, he turned and left the kitchen.

As soon as I walked out, I saw Shen Man's door opened.

Lu Zhengguo's eyes moved slightly and he strode over.

At this time, Shen Man had just put on her clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

She heard everything that Mother Lu said just now, not missing a single word.
