Long Yujiao said sharply, "Chen Wu, stop stirring up trouble!"
"Long Zhiqing, you are so angry, could it be that your secret has been exposed?" Chen Wu looked at her with a smile.
Everyone's eyes are now focused on Long Yujiao.
Long Yujiao couldn't help but tighten her grip on the letter.
Old Lady Lu frowned and looked at Long Yujiao. In the end, reading her son's letter was more important. "Forget it. Your father can read too. Old man, come and see what's written."
Take it away from Long Yujiao and give it to Old Man Lu.
In fact, Lu Laoer's wording was still good. He first asked about his parents' family situation and said that he was always thinking about home while he was on the farm. He was unable to fulfill his filial duties in front of his elderly parents and instead made them worry about him. In the middle, he complained about how difficult his life was here, then asked for money and things, and finally showed concern for Old Man and Mrs. Lu again.
But the central theme of this letter is asking for money.
Old Man Lu smoked in boredom: "There's only one fireplace. No one uses one in any room because it wastes firewood. So we put one in the living room instead. On weekdays, everyone goes to the living room in winter."
Chen Wu felt that the guest hall that Old Man Lu mentioned was similar to what later generations called the main room or the living room.
Long Yujiao wanted to argue again and poked Lu Cheng.
But before Lu Cheng could say anything, Old Man Lu gave him a sidelong glance, and Lu Cheng quickly shut up.
Old Man Lu said, "The second son needs food, cotton clothes, and money. The food will be distributed soon. Send him some."
Old Mrs. Lu didn't expect that her son really came here to ask for something. Her son had a bright future, but it was all ruined by Wang Hua.
However, few people in the village thought so. Within a day, Old Mrs. Feng spread the news that Old Mr. Lu had a family in the city, and everyone started talking about it again.
Chen Wu didn't stay in the Lu family for long.
Once the seeds of doubt were planted, over time, the two sides would start fighting without her having to do anything.
When they were going back, there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which made a crunching sound when they stepped on it. Xu Yin followed her half a step behind, pulling her from time to time to steady her.
Shen Wu breathed in the cold air and looked at the falling snowflakes. "Tomorrow morning, let's build a snowman."
Xu Yin nodded.
Back home, Xu Yin lit up both fireplaces again, and Chen Wu went to cook: "Try to buy more meat, make some bacon and sausage. Do you want Cantonese or Sichuan style?"
"Cantonese sweet sausage." Lu Ye can't eat spicy food very well.
Chen Wu wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine, "I remember there was also a red sausage."
Xu Yin nodded.
It was obvious that it was difficult to buy too much meat, so the two of them were discussing what kind of sausage to eat. Chen Wu made cornmeal porridge, an egg pancake, and fried tofu tonight.
She and Xu Yin each took their meals back to the house.
After a while, Lu Xuan came back. It got dark early and it was completely dark outside. When he opened the door, a cold smell came with it. He felt his internal organs go cold when he took a breath.
Chen Wu asked, "What did you do?"
Lu Xuan closed the door, changed his shoes, and changed his clothes: "I caught some more forest frogs and the rabbits from the back mountain. I plan to sell them tonight."
Lu Xuan's rabbits are all given to fixed contacts. It is cheaper than selling them individually, but it is still more expensive than sending them to purchasing stations, and the risk is lower than retail.
Chen Wu mentioned the sausage-making to Lu Xuan, "There's less food in winter, so find a way to buy more meat so it can be stored."
"But safety is the most important thing. We still have savings, so we won't have any problem raising the children."
When Shen Wu said these words, her voice was soft, and every word was full of concern for him. His heart softened, and Lu Xuan responded: "Yeah, I know."
"There's a chicken I caught in the kitchen. You can make soup with it tomorrow."
Chen Wu went out to the kitchen and took a look. It seemed that Lu Xuan's chicken was still the original chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Fortunately, it is not an animal protection area yet, otherwise, Lu Xuan would be very punished.
Peaceful on a snowy night.
It was chilly. Chen Wu was about to go back to the house after watching the chickens when she heard faint sounds of quarreling coming from someone's house.
"Whose house is so lively?" Shen Wu was a little curious.
Lu Xuan frowned: "My family, my parents and the voice of the fifth brother."
Chen Wu raised her eyebrows, not knowing whether it was her words that worked, or the fact that she had to send something to Lu Lao Er, or the problem with the fireplace?
Shen Wu was not at the scene, so she didn’t know whether the chaos had any effect.
Not only did Mrs. Lu send things to Mr. Lu, she also wanted them to provide cotton and money.
Long Yujiao produced two ginseng roots, but the old lady disliked them because they were too small and ineffective.
Long Yujiao was so angry that she cried out: "Brother Cheng, my stomach hurts!"
Lu Cheng hurriedly helped Long Yujiao into the house, his voice trembling: "Yujiao, lie down. I'll go get a midwife to see if you're okay."
After saying that, he ran out. There was snow outside and he stumbled and almost fell. Lu Cheng had never been so panicked before. That was Yujiao who had sacrificed everything to accompany her in the countryside, and his child...
Long Yujiao took a few deep breaths and finally managed to calm down.
Old Mrs. Lu was also panicking. She felt a strong discomfort in her heart and shouted outside the door: "Yujiao, are you okay?"
…
The Lu family was in chaos.
Chen Wu didn't know, she thought it was just an ordinary quarrel, so she soaked her feet and lay in bed telling a bedtime story to the baby in her belly.
The crackling sound of matches could be heard from the room from time to time. A kerosene lamp was burning on the table. Lu Xuan was lying on the bed looking at her, and he felt a sense of peace in his heart.
At this moment, there is a feeling that home is just like this.
His gaze was too strong. Shen Wu looked at him and said, "Third brother, tell the child a story."
Lu Xuan landed on her lower abdomen.
Compared to before, Shen Wu's waist had some fluctuations. Lu Xuan stared at her and coughed, but no story came out of his stomach.
"Hi, I'm your dad."
Shen Wu...
He raised his foot and stomped Lu Xuan away, "Is there any father like you?"
Lu Xuan touched his nose.
He had never heard anything his wife talked about. Today she talked about fish in the sea, tomorrow she talked about mice and cats, and the day after tomorrow she read poetry. All he heard were stories about gods, ghosts, and immortals. Obviously, these were not things that could be told to the baby in her belly.
Chen Wu gave him the book: "Read more books. From now on, you have to follow the prenatal education every day. The form is not important, but you have to let the baby feel that mom and dad love her/him."
Based on the stomping on him just now, Lu Xuan felt that what Chen Wu said about the form not being important was a lie, but he was tactful and didn't say much.
It's warm and affectionate here, but the yard across the wall is much more lively.
Outside, snowflakes fell quietly. Inside, spring was in the air. A thin layer of sweat formed on Lu Ye's forehead. He drank red ginseng water and then some wood frog. His wife kept reminding him to eat more...
Lu Ye realized belatedly that something was wrong.
Could it be that his wife dislikes him?
The desire to prove myself.
Next door, they were telling baby stories for a long time. Here, it was past one in the morning and no one was asleep yet. Seeing that they were about to go to the county town, Lu Ye got out of bed with a little weak legs, put on his clothes, and said to Xu Yin on the bed: "Wife, mouth -"
