Luo Qianyu regretted it as soon as he asked.
In fact, what she wanted to ask was "Do you like me?" But when the words came to her lips, she turned it into asking Lu Jiuchuan whether he had ever liked a woman.
If Lu Jiuchuan answered that he liked it, it would be more likely that he had it before.
While Lu Jiuchuan hadn't answered yet, she quickly raised her head and said:
"I'm just asking nonsense, you don't have to answer."
It happened that Lu Jiuchuan lowered his head and was about to answer her.
So, her lips just happened to touch Lu Jiuchuan's chin.
With a "boom", it seemed as if something exploded in her brain, scaring her.
"I didn't mean to do that, put me down."
Lu Jiuchuan held her hand tightly, then put her down woodenly. The soft and warm touch seemed to stick to his jaw and would not go away.
Luo Qianyu went into the bathroom, and he didn't even think of getting up to help her. He just stupidly reached out and touched the place where she had been taped.
Luo Qianyu himself was immediately relieved. It was just an accidental touch, there was nothing to make a fuss about.
When she came out of the bathroom, she found Lu Jiuchuan standing there, not knowing what he was thinking, with no expression on his face.
When he saw her come out, he didn't say anything. He didn't hug her like he did when she came, and he didn't even support her. He just followed behind her like a moving piece of wood.
She was a little unhappy. She had already said that she didn't mean it, but Lu Jiuchuan still gave her the cold shoulder.
snort!
Kissing Lu Jiuchuan is worse than kissing a piece of wood.
She climbed into bed angrily and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
He was completely unaware that Lu Jiuchuan beside him had been staring blankly with his eyes open until dawn, and had turned into a piece of wood struck by lightning.
It was already noon when Luo Qianyu woke up, and Zhang Guifen knocked on the door:
"Qian Yu, why did you sleep so late? If you don't get up, you will miss lunch."
She rubbed her eyes and replied:
"I'm up. Mom, the door is not locked, come in by yourself."
"I slept too late last night and couldn't get up this morning."
Zhang Guifen pushed the door open, closed it mysteriously, and then helped her up and sat on the edge of the bed:
"Tell me, did that kid Achuan bully you?"
"No." Luo Qianyu was still half asleep and half awake, not understanding what she said.
Zhang Guifen seemed angry at her denial:
"Don't lie to me. I've been through this before. You were running back and forth to fetch water and go to the bathroom last night. Something must have happened."
"Achuan was hiding from people this morning, and his ears turned red when he saw me. If he hadn't bullied you, why would he be so red?"
"Tell me the truth, that brat dared to act like a beast and bully you when you were injured. I will kill him."
After a series of words from Zhang Guifen, she gradually regained consciousness and asked blankly:
"Mom, what you mean by bullying is..."
Zhang Guifen nodded her head:
"I'm asking you, have you two consummated your marriage?"
"It's not that I'm too controlling. You're young, weak, and injured. If Lu Jiuchuan dares to force his way in, just tell me and I'll tear him apart."
Consummation of marriage?
Luo Qianyu finally came to his senses and put her words together.
They didn't do anything last night, and Lu Jiuchuan blushed when he saw his mother-in-law.
Is it because of that rub?
Apart from that moment, there didn't seem to be anything else special. Isn't Lu Jiuchuan too innocent?
I thought he was angry last night, but I didn't expect it to be Lu Jiuchuan like this.
Luo Qianyu started to smile foolishly as he thought about it. It was simply too funny.
Zhang Guifen looked at her gradually widening mouth, frowned, and poked her face again:
"Really asleep? You seem pretty happy?"
"No." Luo Qianyu patted her rough hands, "Mom, I'm just happy that you care about me so much."
"Really? Then you two look weird..."
"Really not! I'm still on my period."
Zhang Guifen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to chant:
"You just went into the emergency room for surgery, your life is still fragile..."
"Forget it, forget it. I'd better find a way to help you get more nourishment. Everything will be fine if you take good care of your body."
As Zhang Guifen spoke, she began to feel sorry for her eldest son again.
After returning from the army, he was a bachelor for several years. He finally got married, but he became so thin. He also went through a near-death experience for his two children, and he didn't know when he would be able to raise them.
She stood up, pushed open the back window of the room, and glanced at Lu Jiuchuan who was building a wall at the back.
"Men are full of vigor and vitality. Sometimes they can't control themselves, which is quite pitiful. They have so much strength but nowhere to use it."
"Look at him. He started cleaning and carrying soil early in the morning. He said he wanted to fence off the back and expand the yard by demolishing it."
"You have to try to eat more and get your body in good shape sooner, okay?"
She also helped Luo Qianyu to the window and watched with her.
Luo Qianyu looked out and saw that in just one morning, a large area of grass and trees behind him had been leveled, and a lot of wood and straw had been brought back.
Lu Jiuchuan was smashing adobe bricks.
He was only wearing a white vest on his upper body, which was already soaked with sweat. His chest muscles were faintly visible, and the muscles in his arms were bulging, with a thin layer of sweat on them shining in the sun.
That resolute and stern face is so handsome.
Luo Qianyu thought of what her mother-in-law had just said, and quickly took care of her body so that Lu Jiuchuan could use his strength on her?
Ouch, my scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
"Haha, Mom, have you had lunch? I'm a little hungry."
Zhang Guifen picked her up again, brought her to the bed, and pressed her back.
The action was done in one go, and the large grid holding Luo Qianyu up was no different from a scarecrow.
"Why didn't you call for help earlier if you knew you were hungry? Wait here and eat after you wash up."
Then he rushed out of the door and shouted to Lu Siman to bring the meal.
Luo Qianyu honestly lay in ** as a disabled person.
After dinner, Zhang Guifen was afraid that she would be bored, so she put a recliner under the shade of a tree behind the house and helped her over to watch Lu Jiuchuan work.
She felt like a wealthy landlord in the old society, supervising the work of her farmhands.
The farmhand was working very hard and never even glanced at her from beginning to end.
"Ahem, Lu Jiuchuan, if you fence off this back, won't it be inconvenient to get on the oxtail in the future?"
Lu Jiuchuan paused for a moment while making adobe bricks, then immediately resumed his work. The tips of his ears and neck were covered in deep red. Without even raising his head, he said:
"Fence it off to avoid danger when you go up the mountain in the future."
Luo Qianyu didn't expect this answer. Anyway, she didn't have any hobby of climbing mountains, so it didn't matter.
She fanned herself and leaned back on the couch:
"If you have the time, why don't you go to the county again and sort out the affairs of the self-employed..."
Before she could finish her words, Henian came running over, pulling Hesui, and little Hesui was shouting "Mom" loudly.
She sat up straight with a smile on her face:
"Hey, run slower, are you guys awake from your nap?"
The two little ones had chubby cheeks that were rosy from sleep. Henian reported loudly:
"Your sister said she wants to invite you to her wedding, and your aunt asked us to ask you if you will let her in."
He Sui, with the straw mat marks still on his cheeks from sleeping, nodded earnestly behind him:
"Hmmmm."
Luo Qianyu reached out and rubbed the marks on the little girl's face, then touched Henian's head:
"Did she bring a gift? If not, don't let her in. Let aunt tell her that she has to bring a gift when visiting a patient."
He Nian was ready to run back with the New Year's greetings.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qingman had followed them from the outside of the house to the back.
"Third sister loves to joke. We are sisters. I am here to invite you to a wedding. What gifts do you want?"
