Now, both Chen Wu and Lu Ye were staring at Xu Yin with expectant looks on their faces. Only Lu Xuan was still serving the rice normally.
Xu Yin coughed and cleared her throat. "We didn't find much money on Lao Qi. Considering it's his first offense, he'll be sent to a farm for three months for reform. After the New Year, the militia will take him back to the farm after he goes back to work."
"But her condition isn't very serious. She will be rehabilitated at a farm near here."
If it were any other hawker, this punishment would not be very severe, but for Lao Qi, he was a worker-peasant-soldier college student.
Chen Wu asked, "What about his school?"
Xu Yin shook her head: "Speculation is not a small problem nowadays. He has a problem with his thinking. He definitely can't go to university."
The news brought by Xu Yin has not been passed down yet.
Old Mrs. Lu was unhappy this New Year, but Old Mrs. Feng was very happy. Ever since the youngest son of the Lu family came back, there were college students in the village. If Old Mrs. Lu had a tail, she would want to poke it up to the sky. Now everything is good.
Old Mrs. Feng has to eat an extra bowl of rice at dinner.
He was still mumbling to Widow Jin: "Eat less and work more."
"And your sons are such big eaters. Will they die if they eat less..."
…
The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at the Lu family. Old Mrs. Lu didn't have the heart to prepare any New Year's Eve dinner. The best taste was the dumplings made by Shen Wu that Lu Ye brought.
Shen Wu ate a few.
I thought I would have to eat again when I got home, and there was no trace of New Year's joy on the table.
Old Mrs. Lu started to cry while eating.
"I wonder what the seventh and second brothers are having for dinner tonight?"
Everyone was silent.
Old Man Lu tapped his pipe and looked at the people at the table: "You brothers are here. Do you have any plans for Old Seven's matter?"
Lu Ye grumbled, "Dad, you've already talked about Old Seven's affairs. What plans can we have?"
"He was caught red-handed. What can we do? A prison break?"
…
Old Man Lu's face turned grim. "What your mother and I mean is that each family should contribute five dollars and try to redeem Old Seven. I've heard that someone has come out this way."
This time.
Boss Lu spoke up: "Dad, aren't you dreaming? Five dollars, who has five dollars?"
"My family doesn't have any money anyway. Last time, when we married off the fifth child, we spent all our money."
"You are following Lao Wu now, and the food is given to Lao Wu. Ask Lao Wu for it."
The youngest's matter was related to Lu Cheng. Lu Cheng had always kept a low profile and didn't say anything. Who knew that the eldest brother would suddenly bring the war to himself.
Lu Ye also reacted: "Yes, you can ask Lao Wu for it."
Lu Cheng felt guilty and didn't say anything.
Long Yujiao said, "We've already taken out two dollars, and now we're going to have a baby, so we don't have that much money."
Lao Qi didn't even tell his parents where the money was, so why should I give him money?
If someone has already offended you, giving him money will not affect his hatred towards you.
"Besides, Old Seven is involved in speculation, so maybe he has some money on him..."
Chen Wu had nothing to do, so she didn't say anything and just watched the excitement at the table.
In the end, they parted on bad terms.
After leaving the Lu family, no one had eaten enough, so they ordered a few more bowls of dumplings. After they were full, they went back to their homes. When they left the kitchen, Shen Wu realized that it was snowing outside again.
Lu Ye went straight to the kitchen to boil water for the bathroom and called out to Xu Yin behind him, "Wife."
Xu Yin coughed: "Yeah."
Lu Ye was squatting in the kitchen boiling water. Xu Yin was sitting beside him, using the kitchen fire to look at Lu Ye, whose face was red from the smoke from sitting in front of the stove.
He looks like a pretty boy, even without makeup. It's been a while since Xu Yin came here, and this kind of appearance is really rare here. His facial features are more delicate than some girls, but he doesn't look weak. Instead, he has a feeling that is hard to tell whether he is male or female.
Noticing Xu Yin's gaze, Lu Ye turned his head and said, "Wife, what are you looking at?"
Xu Yin's eyes and tone were very calm: "Look at you."
Tengde.
Lu Ye's face, which was already red from smoking, became even redder.
"Wife, you look good too!"
There was a moment of silence all around, and suddenly Xu Yin stood up——
Xu Yin has been at work recently, and the two of them rarely have free time like today. It was like the dry firewood in the stove meeting the raging fire. In the kitchen where people seldom cook and only use it to boil water, there was a charming moment, and the two figures gradually overlapped.
That atmosphere was not the same on Chen Wu's side. She was lying on Lu Xuan's side, looking at the snow outside the window. The matches in the fireplace were crackling, and cold air was coming in as she opened the window a crack.
Lu Xuan wrapped her in the quilt.
I thought to myself, "The third year of junior high school will be three months already."
Shen Wu was at a loss for a moment.
I turned my head to face his serious face and realized: "It's New Year's Day, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Xuan was honest: "You."
Chen Wu looked at his face, not to mention that she also wanted to, so she closed the window, leaned close and whispered in his ear...
The next day is the day for New Year’s greetings.
Chen Wu didn't want to think about it at all, and yawned: "No, I feel like I'm still soft, go by yourself."
As for whether it was polite or not, she was very happy with Lu Xuan's service last night, and her mind was in a daze at the moment, so she couldn't think about these things at all.
Lu Xuan didn't let her get up and covered her with the quilt.
He lit up the extinguished fireplace again. Before the weather got cold, he stockpiled half a yard of firewood, enough for burning.
Get up and take a look.
There was no movement from the neighbor next door. He took two pieces of braised meat and said to the little black dog, "Go wake up the neighbor next door."
Little Hei was so greedy that his saliva was almost drooling, and his tail was wagging rapidly.
Lu Xuan opened the door between the two houses, and the puppy ran over. In front of Lu Ye's door, it raised its head and said angrily -
“Woof woof woof!”
“Woof woof…”
Xu Yin woke up early and poked Lu Ye awake. Lu Ye opened the door with dark circles under his eyes and saw Xiao Hei shouting at him: "Wangwangwang!"
Xiao Hei was too lazy to pay attention to him.
When he saw that he woke up, he ran towards Lu Xuan's yard and circled around him until Lu Xuan threw the piece of meat to him.
Lu Ye saw it and said: "This puppy's food is the best in the village."
Xu Yin said from behind: "Chen Wu likes puppies."
Some people have already set off firecrackers early in the morning, and some who got up even earlier have already gone around to pay New Year's greetings. The happiest ones are the children, who are very happy holding their candies.
Xu Yin, Lu Ye and Lu Xuan went to Old Lady Lu's house first.
I didn’t see Chen Wu.
Everyone felt strange, and some even asked about Chen Wu.
Aunt Fengmei was the first person to ask, "Third brother, why are you alone? Where's your wife? She's not still sleeping at home, is she?"
There was nothing to hide, Lu Xuan nodded: "She is pregnant, it's snowing outside, let her rest at home."
Aunt Fengmei was shocked when she heard this: "Are you pregnant? You don't have to be so delicate even if you are pregnant. When I was pregnant with your brother Dajun, I was working in the fields. I was still working the day before I gave birth."
"Then do more now that you're not pregnant."
"I want to make my wife feel more comfortable."
Lu Xuan said expressionlessly—
