"Commander Lu, you're in high spirits when good things happen. What good news have you had lately?" His colleagues joked with him when they met in the army.
"What's so good about it? It's just that if you sleep well, you'll naturally feel more energetic," Lu Zhengjun said.
The other person said ambiguously, "They've only been married a short time, so they're sleeping quite well."
The emphasis is on the word "sleep".
In places where men hang out, jokes like these are quite common.
This is already considered quite subtle.
Lu Zhengjun, however, was dismissive and did not continue to play along with the other party's joke. She simply turned cold, said that she had other matters to attend to, and left.
If it were a close brother like Zhao Yunshan, a few jokes would be fine.
But Lu Zhengjun wouldn't tolerate just ordinary colleagues.
On the north parade ground, leading troops in training.
"Commander Lu, someone is looking for you."
Lu Zhengjun looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was his brothers who had come looking for him.
"Jinxiang, what brings you here?"
Wei Jinxiang, the battalion commander, does not belong to the same unit as Lu Zhengjun.
It was training time, which is why he found it strange.
"I got some instructions from above, and my boss asked me to come and talk to you..." Wei Jinxiang said, yawning several times as he talked about work matters.
“Okay, I understand.” Lu Zhengjun nodded.
He scrutinized Wei Jinxiang's face and found it very familiar.
Isn't this just like what happened to me a while ago?
"Jinxiang, have you been sleeping poorly lately?" Lu Zhengjun asked with concern.
"Ugh, don't even mention it!" Wei Jinxiang gets a headache just thinking about it.
After finishing their business, it was fine for the two brothers to chat a bit about everyday things. Wei Jinxiang simply shared a few words about his troubles.
"It's all because of my wife and my mom's fight."
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship?
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zhengjun remembered that Wei Jinxiang's wife and mother were both very easy-going women, so it was unlikely that their relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would cause any unrest in the family.
"It's not a big deal, it's just really upsetting."
“You know my mom, she’s getting old and doesn’t need much sleep. Lately, she hasn’t been able to sleep at night.”
Wei Jinxiang is the third son in his family, and those who are close to him sometimes call him Wei Laosan (Third Brother Wei).
Therefore, his mother was older than Lu Zhengjun's mother, Bai Xiuhui.
Older people do not sleep as well as younger people.
"She can't sleep, so she can't lie still. She always likes to get up and walk around in the living room, and she doesn't turn on the lights at night, making some noise."
“My wife is a light sleeper. When my mom makes a lot of noise, she sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep. Once or twice is fine, but after a while, she can’t take it anymore and starts arguing with my mom!”
"My mom wasn't sleeping well and was already annoyed. We got into a fight last night, which woke me up too!"
"You know, I'm caught in the middle, with my mother on one side and my wife on the other! I can't help either of them!"
Wei Jinxiang looked worried.
Not only did he not know who to help, he also couldn't get a proper rest amidst the arguing.
That's why my complexion looks terrible today.
Lu Zhengjun thought it was quite a coincidence that Wei Jinxiang's troubles came at just the right time.
If this had happened a few days earlier, he really wouldn't have been able to help at all.
"Third Brother Wei, you're lucky!" Lu Zhengjun smiled, patted Wei Jinxiang's shoulder, and put his arm around him.
"Your Majesty, please don't tease me. I really have a headache. I don't know what kind of trouble this will cause tonight!" Wei Jinxiang shook his head.
He dared not offend either his mother or his wife.
The result was that I offended everyone.
Now, every day at home, no one gives him a kind look. He's been wronged.
"Bear with it for one more night, and come see me tomorrow," Lu Zhengjun said.
"Really? You really have a way?" Wei Jinxiang looked at him.
"Why does it have to be tomorrow night? Tell me now!"
Lu Zhengjun was so annoyed by Wei Laosan that she gave him a brief talk.
“I also had trouble sleeping recently, and then Yueya made a sleep aid pill. It’s a tiny pill that you stick on your belly button, and it helps you have a good night’s sleep. I’ll bring you some tomorrow, and you can have your aunt try it when you get home.”
"Your sister-in-law can make pills?"
Wei Jinxiang was shocked.
He had seen Su Yueya at the wedding and knew that his sister-in-law was beautiful, but he had no idea that she had this ability.
"Well, what's wrong with a student from a proper medical college making a pill?"
"What? Zhengjun, you didn't tell us that your sister-in-law was a student at Wenxiu Medical College. You kept it a secret for so long?"
"That's not true at first; I only recently passed the exam..."
After listening to Lu Zhengjun's words, Wei Jinxiang felt that his hope for a harmonious family had been rekindled.
When Lu Zhengjun got home that evening, he told Su Yueya about it.
“Since he’s your brother, it’s fine to give it to him, but I can’t do much. This is all I have right now.”
Su Yueya pointed to the small box she handed to Lu Zhengjun; that was all the supplies they had.
"Don't give it all to me, honey. Keep some for yourself."
Ultimately, she still feels more sorry for her own husband.
Su Yueya thought Lu Zhengjun had a sleep quality problem, but he knew that his poor sleep wasn't a quality issue; it was because he was holding Su Yueya that he couldn't fall asleep. So he really needed to save some sleep for himself.
So, Lu Zhengjun cut out half of it.
"Let him try it first."
The next day, Wei Jinxiang arrived at Lu Zhengjun's place early in the morning and waited anxiously for his sleeping pills.
"Masa-kun!"
"Here you go." Lu Zhengjun shoved the box into Wei Jinxiang's hand.
"It's very easy to use. Just stick one on your navel before bed and throw it away when you wake up the next day."
"Okay, thanks bro!"
"You're telling me this? If it's useful, I'll get it for you later."
Lu Zhengjun wasn't just being generous; he had asked Su Yueya for her opinion last night and only said it after receiving her permission.
After all, it was Su Yueya who made the pills.
Wei Jinxiang is Lu Zhengjun's brother, how could Su Yueya be petty?
That evening, Wei Jinxiang taught his mother how to use the sleep aid pills.
"This little thing really helps me sleep well?" Wang Dangui held a small pill in her hand, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Ugh—this smell is awful!"
Wang Dangui was a little disgusted.
"Mom, don't worry about the smell, just try it. It's not a big deal to stick one on your belly button, and even if it smells bad, it's better than not being able to sleep!" Wei Jinxiang persuaded.
If he doesn't solve his mother's sleeping problem soon, his wife, He Yalan, will start making a scene.
Wang Dangui is a reasonable person. Although she got carried away with her emotions and argued with her wife, she knew that she had indeed bothered her.
"Okay, let's give it a try."
As it turned out, after trying it, I actually got through the night quietly and peacefully.
The whole family was overjoyed early the next morning!
"Jinxiang, these little pills of yours are really effective! I slept so well last night!" Wang Dangui was overjoyed. Now, the smell of the little pills didn't smell pungent at all; on the contrary, she liked them very much.
