Lu Xiao was walking along with a low pressure all over his body. Even the villagers he met on the road avoided him. Some children even took small stones to throw at him, saying, "You son of a landlord, you are a big bad guy."
When she met his gaze, she burst into tears again, threw down the pebbles, and ran home while shouting "bad guy".
Lu Xiao pursed his lips even tighter.
Li Ergou saw a familiar figure jogging after him, and when he saw Lu Xiao's expression, he immediately jumped away.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? Who has offended you again?"
This expression was extremely ugly. Back then, Brother Xiao's sister-in-law made a lot of noise and made the whole family restless, but he had never looked so gloomy.
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Ergou said, "Could it be an embroidered pillow?"
This time Lu Xiao did not correct him, and Li Ergou became more certain of his guess.
"I knew it was her. Let me tell you, Brother Xiao, a woman like that really doesn't deserve you to treat her well. Not only can she not carry anything, she's also skinny and frail. We country folk still want women with big breasts and round butts who can work and have children. What's more, she can come and live with you today, but maybe she'll go and be with another man after a while... Ouch..."
Before Li Ergou could finish his words, he was kicked hard by Lu Xiao.
"roll!"
He felt wronged. "I didn't say anything. Why did you kick me, Brother Xiao? If she was a well-behaved woman, why would you be angry?"
"Get out, don't make me say it a third time," Lu Xiao said coldly.
Li Ergou begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I'll just leave, okay? But Brother Xiao, please don't be angry anymore. It's not worth getting sick from anger over a woman like that... Ouch... I'm leaving..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked again and Li Ergou ran away crawling.
Lu Xiao withdrew his gaze only after he saw him running away. His cold eyebrows drooped as he walked home, looking at his toes.
After entering the house, he casually put the hoe against the wall, walked to the water tank, picked up the ladle and was about to scoop water to drink.
There was a noise in the kitchen and Lu Xiao looked up suddenly.
The chimney on the kitchen roof was emitting wisps of blue smoke, and hot air was coming out of the windows. The aroma of rice drifted out from inside, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a woman humming a ballad.
"Plop"
The ladle fell into the water tank, splashing water all over Lu Xiao, but he didn't react at all and turned around and ran to the kitchen.
He ran two steps first, then slowly slowed down, and finally his steps became cautious. Until he saw the slender figure, Lu Xiao stopped.
Through a door, I quietly watched her busying around.
She was taking the steamed buns made of two-grain flour out of the pot. Perhaps the buns were too hot right out of the pot, so she blew on her fingers and touched her ears from time to time.
The movements are somewhat funny.
Lu Xiao smiled silently, the corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes were filled with tiny lights.
He turned around and quickly washed his hands, then walked into the kitchen.
Jiang Wanwan was still struggling with the hot steamed bun when a big hand grasped her fingertips.
The big hand was a little cool, and it felt very comfortable to hold her red fingertips. Seeing the man again, Jiang Wanwan said happily, "Lu Xiao, you're back, and the meal is ready."
Lu Xiao nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of the rest, you wait for me outside."
It was too hot in the kitchen and the little woman was sweating profusely.
Jiang Wanwan did not refuse and went to the yard to clean the stone table.
Lu Xiao looked down at his palm, where he could still feel the touch of her fingertips, as if they had also been applied to his heart, sweeping away all the bad emotions he had felt on the way back.
Lunch: steamed buns made of two-grain flour, pork stewed with potatoes and vermicelli.
Potatoes and vermicelli were already available at home.
Jiang Wanwan put two pieces of meat into Lu Xiao's bowl, and Lu Xiao immediately picked them back up for her. Jiang Wanwan covered her bowl with her hands and refused.
"I don't like eating fatty meat. You should eat more to replenish your body."
I don’t know if it’s because of what my mother said, but whenever Lu Xiao hears the word “make up”, he always thinks of that night automatically.
Seeing that the little woman looked normal, he coughed lightly and collected his thoughts. "Well, if you want to buy something in the future, ask me to go. It's not safe for you to go to town alone."
Jiang Wanwan paused and immediately thought of something.
Now that's good. She was still worried about how to explain the pork issue to Lu Xiao so that he wouldn't get suspicious. This time, she didn't have to make excuses.
But she had to go to town. She had to have a reason to take out her things.
"Yeah, I see. But don't worry, I've been there often before, and I know the way well."
Lu Xiao thought about the rumors Ergouzi had told him about the educated youth camp, and it seemed that it was true that she was familiar with the town.
He didn't want to restrain her just for being with him, so he nodded and talked about something else.
"Also, if you don't want to work in the future, just go find Shu Meng and rest. Wait for me to do it. You don't need to ask others to help you. I can do it."
Jiang Wanwan looked at his awkward expression and asked, "Did you go to the educated youth group?"
Lu Xiao nodded, his face looking a little grumpy again.
"Didn't Du Jiaming say anything nice?" she tried to ask.
This time Lu Xiao didn't answer.
Jiang Wanwan looked at him with amusement, "So you went over there and listened to them spitting shit while doing my job?"
Lu Xiao turned away awkwardly.
Jiang Wanwan: "Are you stupid? It's not good to have someone to help you with the work. It's a waste not to use the free labor. Next time this happens, just turn around and come back, lie on the kang and sleep soundly, isn't it?"
And he still insisted on rushing to do the work.
Lu Xiao insisted on his own opinion and looked her in the eye. "You don't need him to do your work anymore."
Jiang Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant. She smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, from now on, no one else will have to do my work. I'll leave it all to you."
Once she gets the marriage certificate and moves in with the household registration, she should be able to share her work with the Lu family, and Du Jiaming will have no chance to do it even if he wants to.
Knowing that Du Jiaming and Qiao Wenwan couldn't say anything good, Jiang Wanwan could understand Lu Xiao's insistence, but she deliberately teased him.
I picked up a piece of meat and gave it to him, "Are you jealous?"
Lu Xiao almost spit out a mouthful of rice. He coughed for a long time, his ears reddened and he said angrily, "Eat well."
Jiang Wanwan's laughter, like silver bells, filled the yard.
After lunch, Lu Xiao went to the brigade headquarters to get a marriage certificate and ask for leave at the same time.
In rural areas these days, as long as both families agree and the village cadres approve, a marriage relationship is basically established.
Although the country encourages obtaining a marriage certificate, not everyone goes to get that piece of paper.
After Jiang Wanwan was rescued by Lu Xiao, rumors circulated for a while, and the village cadres were also a little troubled.
When the two of them went to the village cadres to talk about their marriage, they agreed without much hesitation.
So even though the two of them don't have a marriage certificate, they have made it through and their relationship is legitimate.
However, Jiang Wanwan felt that this was not acceptable. According to modern people's concept, one must be certified before working.
It also provides an extra layer of protection for two people.
