Noticing everyone's gaze on her, Long Yujiao smiled softly, "Xiao Wu, what are you talking about? Go and do your work today. I'll wash the dishes."
The way Long Yujiao called her was even more gentle than when Lu Xuan called her in bed.
Chen Wu felt calm. Since she had provoked Li Ping to cause trouble for her, she would have to accept her revenge. As for whether her intuition was wrong.
Chen Wu was not a good person to begin with. She would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
The breakfast was not tasty, so everyone cleaned up and washed the dishes after eating. Long Yujiao did Shen Wu's work, and she asked Lu Ye to do Xu Yin's work.
Lu Ye sneaked into the kitchen and said, "Wife, help me keep an eye on my parents."
"My mother said that this is what women in the family should do. My father said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen."
Xu Yin stared outside: "Listen to your parents and sleep with them tonight."
Lu Ye glanced at Long Yujiao in the kitchen, then approached Xu Yin and lowered his voice: "I listen to my wife."
"I'm going back to my parents' house tomorrow. I have to go to the fields soon. I'll ask my third brother to bring some things for me. I'll go back to your parents' house tomorrow."
When Lu Xuan and Shen Wu were about to go out, Lu Ye ran over, looked at Shen Wu, and knew that his wife and she were sworn enemies, so he lowered his voice and only told his third brother about the purchase.
Chen Wu was not far away and actually heard it clearly.
While no one was paying attention, he winked at Xu Yin.
Lu Xuan borrowed the only bicycle in the team.
When she heard that he was going to the county town, Old Mrs. Lu also brought some potatoes, sweet potatoes, and some vegetables from her own yard and gave them all to Lu Xuan.
"Send this to your second brother. It's not easy for him to be out there alone."
"Tell him not to be stingy with food and drink."
He said he would clamp it from the back.
Lu Xuan took the things and said, "Chen Wu wants to sit in the back."
She herself didn't even have the chance to go to the county town, and Chen Wu was going. Old Lady Lu was very upset: "Why would she go? It would delay her work. Now she has Yujiao to replace her..."
"Mom, Long Zhiqing is happy about it. Don't fight for him. I'm going to the county town for something. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Mom, give me and my third brother ten dollars."
When Mrs. Lu heard about the money, she ran faster than anyone else. After she had walked a distance, she shouted at Lu Xuan, "Give the vegetables to your second brother! Do you hear me?"
"Don't waste your money, both of you! Come back quickly after you go."
Lu Xuan gestured for Chen Wu to get in the car and jumped onto the back seat. It was a bit strange at first, so she looked around. After sitting for a while, Chen Wu had only one thought in her mind: her butt was hurting from the bumpy ride.
Poked the cyclist in front.
Her little hands were touching his body all over. At Lu Xuan's age, his whole body became hard just by seeing her.
Grabbing her hand: "Don't make trouble."
"Please walk carefully. My whole body hurts, and you're making my butt hurt even more."
…
Lu Xuan listened to her words that were not shy at all, and his face turned red from his neck to his ears: "I know."
She did slow down when riding her bike and took the slightly better roads. Even so, when she arrived at the county town, she felt like she was about to fall apart.
Lu Xuan first went to the county commune to borrow something.
Then he took Chen Wu to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative at that time sold a wide range of items, from farm tools to clam oil, small mirrors, rubber bands, and needles and thread.
Originally, she didn't have any skin care products. Chen Wu bought two bottles of clam oil, each costing three cents, one for herself and one for Xu Yin. She also bought two bottles of Gongdeng's almond honey, each costing one dollar, which was almost a worker's daily salary nowadays. People in the countryside might not even earn a dollar after working all day.
When Shen Wu bought it, she also glanced at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan had no expression. Seeing her looking at him, he asked, "Anything else?"
"Peach cakes, egg cakes, fried dough sticks, you can bring all of these to... my parents' house tomorrow."
Shen Wu looked at the pastries of this era, bought some shaqi ma, and handed one to Lu Xuan first: "Eat."
Lu Xuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
As soon as I opened my mouth, a hand reached out and brought the soft shachima to my mouth. It tasted sweet.
Shen Wu stuffed one into his hand and pinched one for herself.
"My sister-in-law's cooking is really bad. I didn't even have a full meal this morning." He ate a shaqi ma to fill his stomach.
Lu Xuan bought another bag of peach cakes: "This one spoils slowly, take it home and eat it slowly."
"Give it to mom. Mom will definitely not let me eat it." The amount of food that Old Mrs. Lu has is limited, and she has to count it before cooking.
Not to mention desserts like peach cakes.
Lu Xuan said: "If you don't give it to me, take it from our room and eat it secretly when you are hungry."
Chen Wu was waiting for him to say this.
"Third brother, you are the best."
Shen Wu's voice was not loud, but it was very trusting, and Lu Xuan felt comfortable listening to it.
Chen Wu had no plans to buy anything for the original body's parents, but Lu Xuan still bought two more bags of peach cakes and wanted to buy some fried dough sticks, but was stopped by Chen Wu.
Chen Wu thought for a moment and then mentioned to Lu Xuan, "My parents aren't very kind to me. We're already married and don't have much money. We need to make ends meet. If we have children, we'll have to save money for them."
Lu Xuan looked at his wife, who was much shorter than him, and listened to her words.
Her daughter-in-law is a bit spoiled and likes cleanliness, but she is a really good person, which stirred up a lot of waves in her heart.
"Then buy something else."
Before Chen Wu could react to what to buy, Lu Xuan pointed to a pink bed sheet with large flowers. Chen Wu had only seen it in nostalgic videos in later generations, but this bed sheet was not cheap, costing nearly ten yuan each.
If she bought it, all her money would be gone. Shen Wu felt that she was a person who could spend money, but she hesitated to spend almost all her savings on a bed sheet.
"Why don't you buy some? Just wash the two at home frequently. They will be enough." He whispered to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan didn't know what was going on in his mind, and his face looked a little unnatural: "Then wait for me to buy some cotton and make you a quilt, so the bed won't be so hard."
Chen Wu felt that making a cotton quilt was better than spending all her money on a floral bed sheet.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Wu asked Lu Xuan to drive her around the county town. The county town at this time was not as shabby as she had imagined. It had almost everything one needed, and there were also some employees from the factory.
This is considered a high-income group in this era. Chen Wu, who is unable to work in the fields, is a little envious of those who can work in factories.
Lu Xuan rode his bike to the side of the machinery factory, stopped it, took the vegetables down, and greeted the security guard.
"Uncle, I'm going to give my second brother something." He took out a bunch of vegetables and handed them to the uncle.
Chen Wu replied, "Master, take it home and eat it."
This old man obviously knew Lu Xuan as well. He looked at Chen Wu twice more and asked, "Your wife?"
Lu Xuan nodded.
"Not bad, not bad. She looks like a good girl."
Chen Wu thought he was wrong.
"Your brother is in the second workshop, but that..." The old man seemed to be hesitant to speak.
