Chen Wu didn't notice his gaze. After locking the door, she took out something wrapped in brown paper from the bag and handed it to Lu Xuan like a treasure. "Here!"
It was wrapped tightly in brown paper, but the fragrance still shone through.
"The state-owned restaurant has braised mutton today, and the sesame cakes were freshly baked when I bought them. I bought them especially for you, try them."
At noon, they had beans and noodles. The noodles were shared among everyone, but they weren't enough to fill everyone up, just enough to make them about 50% full. Lu Xuan smelled the aroma and looked at the bright eyes of the person in front of him, "Have you eaten yet?"
Chen Wu stuffed the cake into his hands and said, "Eat it. I'm eating rice."
"I can't eat all the good food by myself. The rice is hard to carry. I saw the freshly baked sesame cakes and braised lamb, so I brought them to you. I brought you two."
"But it will be cold now, so it might not taste as good."
The pancake was well-wrapped and still warm. Lu Xuan took a bite and said, "How can the meat not be delicious?"
Chen Wu looked at the cotton. The color was a bit uneven, some was whiter, and some was slightly gray. It seemed that it was sourced from several suppliers. She glanced at Lu Xuan.
He ate very quickly, taking big mouthfuls, and finished a whole cake in no time.
She looked like a rough person, but she was actually quite considerate. I remember she complained about the rough kang.
Chen Wu put the cotton down and gave the remaining one in the bag to Lu Xuan. "There's one left. Eat it while it's still hot."
Lu Xuan wiped his mouth and said, "No more, just eat until you're 80% full. Save this for when you crave meat."
Chen Wu had rice, braised pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, and roasted eggplant for lunch. Her stomach and soul were both satisfied, so she had no interest in the mutton-stuffed pancake anymore.
"Eat quickly. You're tired from work, so eat more meat. It's just that there's no soup right now. I should give you some."
"I've heard that if you teach in the commune, you can earn five yuan a month based on full work points, which is more than what a strong laborer earns. When the time comes, Third Brother, don't work too hard, just give 80% of your effort."
"I'll support you!" he said, raising his chin.
She looked so arrogant and spoiled. When Lu Xuan heard that she wanted to support him, he felt indescribably comfortable in his heart.
But he said, "How can I let you support me, as a grown man? Is that rude of me? Where would my dignity be?"
"Try your best to take the exam. If you don't pass, forget it. I'll support you." The words on the book gave people a headache. "I can support you!"
Under Shen Wu's gaze, Lu Xuan ate another mutton sandwich, and this time he was completely full.
After eating, Lu Xuan rinsed his mouth under the gaze of his wife and opened the window to disperse the smell of mutton in the house.
It was lunchtime and cicadas were chirping outside.
Chen Wu was lying on the bed, and Lu Xuan pulled her into his arms as soon as he got on the bed.
Just as she was pulled into his arms, Shen Wu slipped away from his arms like a loach.
Put some distance between the two of them.
Lu Xuan frowned, turned over and stared at her, "What's wrong?"
Chen Wu pointed at the sun outside and said, "It's hot."
The sun outside was hot, and Lu Xuan felt hot too.
Lu Xuan got out of bed and fetched a palm-leaf fan, fanning her with one hand. Only then did Shen Wu feel relieved. She kissed the man twice on the face, "Third brother, you are the best."
"I like you."
The smell in the room had almost dissipated. He stood up and closed the window. Listening to Shen Wu's words, he also felt hot. He deliberately put on a sullen expression and said, "If you don't want to do anything else, just go to sleep."
Shen Wu quickly closed her eyes.
Her long eyelashes trembled.
"Third brother, what I said is true. I like you. Why don't you listen to my heart?"
He was also very hot if he continued talking, so he put his hand over her mouth and said, "I know, go to sleep."
I thought to myself, he married a girl who spoke sweetly. Sometimes she complained about being uncomfortable, sometimes she complained about being hot, sometimes she complained about him being dirty... She said a lot of nice things to him. Sometimes she felt sorry for him, sometimes she wanted to have children for him, and sometimes she wanted to hear her true feelings.
As he thought about it, Lu Xuan laughed first, and fanned himself with the palm-leaf fan in his hand vigorously.
*
Everyone went to work in the afternoon, and Chen Wu read at home.
If Long Yujiao read a book, Old Lady Lu would think that was great, but what about Shen Wu reading a book?
Old Mrs. Lu found out that she was only in the fourth grade of primary school and often skipped classes. She was not good at studying at all. Now she is just pretending to be lazy.
Old Lady Lu couldn't bear to see Chen Wu idle, and she felt uncomfortable watching her. "The second son is coming back today, so you have to let everyone eat the meat. Do you hear me?"
There was a pound of meat in total. With so many people in the family, everyone just wanted to taste the aroma of the meat. But Grandma Lu wanted to taste the flavor of a full banquet with just one pound of meat.
"Okay, I promise! Everyone can eat meat."
Before Old Lady Lu could say anything, Xu Yin came out with a bow and arrow, "I'm going to the back mountain."
Shen Wu thought for a moment and said, "I'm tired of eating the vegetables we grow at home. Let's go find some wild vegetables."
Then he put down the book and picked up a basket.
Last time, Xu Yin brought a big snake in exchange for a dozen eggs. She was just sitting around at home doing nothing, so it would be nice to hunt some game.
As for Chen Wu looking for wild vegetables, Old Lady Lu was also happy.
“Don’t be lazy!”
"Xu Yin, keep an eye on her!"
The two of them came out one after the other. As they walked, Chen Wu looked for wild vegetables. She saw some green shepherd's purse on the roadside. Thinking about what to eat in the evening, she picked some.
The people around were all in the fields, and I could recognize Chen Wu from the back from a distance. No one in this village loved dressing up more than her. She even wore a hat when she came out to pick wild vegetables.
I saw two people walking one in front and one behind.
