The weather began to get warmer. Before Lu Xuan left, in addition to clothes, Chen Wu also made a lot of food. In order to facilitate storage, the food was either high in oil or high in salt and oil.
Lu Xuan is not picky about food. She made a whole bottle of spicy peanut sauce using a canned yellow peach bottle.
Although it is not the season for eating mooncakes, she still made some different flavors, mainly because these things will not spoil easily if they are not stored in the refrigerator.
Lu Xuan looked at the food that was wasting fuel and couldn't help laughing: "I guess the money I earn from one trip is not as expensive as the food you made."
Shen Wu rolled her eyes at him.
Lu Ye had chopped the chili peppers. He had chopped half a basin of red dry chilies. His eyes and nose were all red from the choking. When he went out for some fresh air, he felt like the sky was falling when he heard what his third brother said.
"Brother, is this true?"
"If it doesn't work, let's just rest. I feel a little uneasy when I think about you not being at home."
Lu Xuan glanced at him and said calmly, "Fake."
Even if you don't make money the first time or twice, you will eventually figure out the ropes after trying more. Drivers are popular, partly because they can bring something. Those who drive frequently all have their own ways.
Lu Ye looked at his brother helping his sister-in-law make mooncakes. There were several kinds of fillings and different shapes. It was obvious that what he said just now was just a joke with his sister-in-law, and he was the only one who took it seriously...
The night before Lu Xuan left, Shen Wu had to pack the things he wanted to take with him.
Lu Xuan pulled her to bed early: "I can take care of those things myself. Some things cannot be done without you."
Chen Wu wanted to kick him, but she couldn't bear to do it. The two of them seemed a little ridiculous at night.
The next day, Manman rubbed her arms again and woke her up.
Lu Xuan had already gotten up and was packing his things. Shen Wu opened her eyes drowsily: "So early?"
Lu Xuan lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek: "I checked, you don't have classes in the morning, sleep a little longer."
Chen Wu was indeed tired. She groaned twice and fell asleep again while holding her daughter. The girl, who was held tightly by her, looked at Lu Xuan with eager eyes, struggling and waving her little arms.
"Beep, beep."
Lu Xuan thought he had misheard. The little guy understood everything now, but no matter how he teased or coaxed him, he wouldn't call him and stopped packing the things in his hands.
He bowed and said to his daughter, "Call me again."
"dad!"
Chen Wu was still trying to sleep, but she woke up drowsily when she heard her daughter's cry. Looking at Lu Xuan lying stiffly beside the bed, the old father's eyes were filled with tears.
"Oh, Manman is awesome!"
When she was praised, she became even happier. She climbed up with her butt sticking out and stood shakily. Lu Xuan was so scared that he quickly picked her up. Once she was in his arms, she jumped up and down.
While Lu Xuan was protecting his daughter, he looked at Chen Wu and said, "I suddenly feel reluctant to leave."
But no matter whether he was willing to leave or not, Lu Xuan stayed at home for a while and finally went to the county town.
Shen Wu instructed him: "If you go to the provincial capital, remember to visit Tong Lao and Aunt Zhang."
"When you come back, see if there's anything suitable for the captain."
…
We have all helped their family, so we should be grateful for their kindness, otherwise we would be ungrateful.
"I know, don't worry about it, just go back to sleep."
Chen Wu carried her daughter and sent Lu Xuan to the door. Although she was tired and couldn't fall asleep in bed, she suddenly felt that the surroundings were empty. Lu Xuan's trip would take more than ten days.
Chen Wu has been here for so long, but this is the first time she has been separated from him for so long. She has unknowingly become accustomed to his presence, and she actually feels a little lonely in her heart.
But Manman didn't let her feel lonely for long.
After waking up, she didn't go out, so she started to make a fuss. Chen Wu carried her out and ran into her godmother as soon as she came out.
Manman stretched out his hand towards Aunt Zhao, making Aunt Zhao very happy: "Come, grandma will hold you."
Then he looked at Chen Wu and said, "When Lu Xuan left, he went to my house and told me to keep an eye on you and Old Four."
Chen Wu chuckled and said, "It's okay. I have a dog at home, and there's a door between us and Old Fourth's house. No one will come here."
Dahei barked a few times beside him.
The orange cat sleeping on the wall was disturbed, so he yawned, stretched for a while, and then went back to sleep.
Life has to go on even when Lu Xuan is not around. Lu Ye finds that his third sister-in-law's life has not changed much, but it seems that his own life has changed a lot?
Sometimes it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten.
His wife was still in his third sister-in-law's room. No one knew what they were talking about, and his wife didn't let him listen.
In a few days.
Lu Ye felt a little resentful.
After finishing her meal, Xu Yin held Manman in her arms and prepared to go find Chen Wu. Before she left, Lu Ye grabbed her hand and said, "Wife, can you accompany me today?"
Xu Yin was stunned for a moment: "Don't I accompany you every day?"
"You came to sleep in the room at ten o'clock the day before yesterday, eleven o'clock the day before yesterday, and twelve o'clock yesterday! And you got home from get off work at six o'clock, ate with my third sister-in-law, and then went out to play with Manman..."
He was worried before because his wife and third sister-in-law didn't get along, and he's still worried now.
Xu Yin herself didn't notice it. When she was with Shen Wu, they always talked about their previous lives. They talked and laughed, and played with the child for a while, and it was already late.
Listening to Lu Ye's words, it seemed a bit too much.
He stuffed the whole thing into Chen Wu's mouth and said, "You sleep alone."
After saying this, she pulled her man away.
Chen Wu held Manman in her arms and looked in the direction the two of them left. Lu Ye even turned his head to look at her...
Shen Wu felt that he was provoking her.
I wouldn’t do that!
That's a sign of his lack of confidence!
Only people without confidence would do this!
After saying this, she carried her daughter back to the house and read a story to her for a while.
"Bang!"
…
I don’t know what happened tonight. Manman kept asking for her dad. Chen Wu coaxed her for a long time before she stopped missing her dad. When Manman fell asleep and it was late at night, it was Chen Wu’s turn to miss Lu Xuan.
I don’t know what he is doing now?
Chen Wu thought so and looked at the watch on the table. It was getting late, almost one o'clock, and she had classes tomorrow. Just as she was about to close her eyes and go to sleep, she heard the sound of the door being opened in the room. Dahei tried to open it for a while but failed.
It ran to the edge of the kang and scratched it, wagging its tail frantically. Chen Wu originally thought it was going to come out to poop or pee, but when she saw that Dahei's little friend, the orange cat sleeping on the stool, had arched its back defensively, she realized something was wrong.
He touched Dahei's head and signaled it to be quiet.
He quietly took down from the wall a homemade hunting rifle that Lu Xuan usually used.
The door in the room was an old-fashioned valve, and the person outside seemed to be shaking it gently. It was extremely quiet in the middle of the night, and Shen Wu heard every tiny movement in her ears. Looking at her daughter sleeping quietly on the bed, her heart beat faster.
Look down at the "truth" in your hand.
Look at the dog next to you.
Shen Wu hid behind the door in the dark——
