"Hey, little sister, he didn't even tell you this. This is a marriage fraud. I tell you not to live with him in this doghouse anymore. Once you get divorced, take the university recommendation letter and I'll send you to college. We'll start a new life. If you want an educated man, I'll find one from a university. If you want a capable and strong man, I'll find one for you from the army. I guarantee they'll be better than you now. At worst, you still have your second brother and dad. Let them introduce you. We won't hang ourselves on this crooked tree."
Jiang Wanwan put the book back into the box and rolled her eyes at him rudely, "Brother, what do you mean by even if things get worse, there's still brother and dad? Have you considered their feelings when you say that? Aren't you afraid that I'll complain about you?"
"Don't worry," Jiang Jianguo immediately admitted, "I'm just making an analogy."
"Forget it, I'm fine now."
Jiang Wanwan doesn't say that she is loyal, but she is also a woman who is devoted in love.
Lu Xiao was the man she fell in love with at first sight when she came to this world, and he also took good care of her. She would not be a scumbag.
………………
Although Lu Xiao was said to be fine, Jiang Wanwan was still unsure. She didn't say anything these days, but she was always distracted from time to time.
Sometimes when the food was burnt, Jiang Jianguo would laugh at her, which made Jiang Wanwan so angry that she would chase him away several times, "Is there nothing left for you in the army? Or are you planning to retire? Why aren't you going home for the New Year when it's almost here?"
Jiang Jianguo was determined to wait for Lu Xiao to come back. "I haven't taken a home leave in three years. This time is long anyway. It doesn't matter where I spend the New Year. I can spend the holiday here with my little sister so that my parents don't worry about you."
My little sister’s cooking skills will definitely make a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner.
Jiang Wanwan was immediately furious, and Jiang Jianguo laughed heartily. He didn't like his little sister's sad face and her fear for men. She was still cute when she looked angry.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Wanwan welcomed the first snow in this world.
The snow was not heavy, but the falling snowflakes turned the entire mountain village into a sea of white.
It has been a week since Li Ergou and the others returned, but there is still no news from Lu Xiao.
Jiang Wanwan had already finished knitting her woolen trousers. When she was finishing the stitches, her eldest brother discovered them. After seeing that they were men's woolen trousers, he insisted on taking them for himself. In the end, Jiang Wanwan secretly took a woolen sweater from the second bedroom and said that it was knitted for him, so he kept the woolen trousers.
She knitted it herself, so of course she wanted to give it to Lu Xiao.
Li Ergou has been running home every day these days, saying that Lu Xiao had asked him to help take care of her. Jiang Wanwan also knew this, and he was worried about Lu Xiao. He came home once a day so that he could know when Lu Xiao would be back.
The eldest brother heard that it was easier to catch rabbits after it snowed, so as soon as Li Ergou came today, he asked him to go to the back mountain to catch rabbits.
Jiang Wanwan was also bored at home. After her elder brother came, Wang Fang and Feng Huining visited her less often.
There was still some wool left, not enough for a scarf, so Jiang Wanwan planned to use it to knit a neck warmer.
Just as she was finishing the thread, she heard a noise outside the door. Someone pushed the door open and came in. Jiang Wanwan snorted, "You're back so soon? I told you you're no good. Do you really think there are rabbits all over the mountain waiting for you to catch..."
"Wanwan..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Wanwan turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure standing at the door.
"Lu Xiao!"
Jiang Wanwan jumped up in surprise, dropped the wool and pounced over.
Lu Xiao was worried that he would be too cold in the wind and snow, so he restrained himself from hugging the figure he had been thinking about day and night. But now, the figure jumped directly from the kang into his arms. He didn't care about anything else and hugged the figure tightly.
"Lu Xiao, why did you come back just now? Do you know how worried I was?"
Jiang Wanwan hugged him, and her words were filled with grievances that she was not even aware of. Lu Xiao's heart was broken when he heard it. "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"What's the use of saying sorry, idiot," Jiang Wanwan pushed his shoulder, "Put me down, I'm sinking quickly."
She was not wearing shoes, and Lu Xiao was afraid that her feet would get dirty, so he held her legs up, with her entire weight on him.
Lu Xiao didn't feel heavy at all. He looked at the little woman close to him and smiled, showing his white teeth, "It's not heavy."
Holding her like this, she won’t feel heavy no matter how long you hold her.
Only then did Jiang Wanwan see his appearance clearly. After not seeing him for two months, he had become thinner, darker, and his hair had grown longer.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a hurry, but stubble has appeared on his chin.
My eyes suddenly turned red.
She knew digging a canal was hard work, but she never expected it to come to this.
She was too naive. She thought that since everyone else was going there, Lu Xiao was also going there, so there was nothing special about it. People these days do this in the winter, but they ignore the work itself.
There were no excavators these days. Everything was done manually, with people carrying shovels on their shoulders and hands. Even if they were strong, it would still drain their energy.
It is said that meals are provided and work points are awarded, which is naturally a good thing for those who cannot get enough food, but they are not short of food.
She later heard from Wang Sanni that 80% of the food on the construction site was coarse grains, and the food was only improved once every five days. At most, they were given white flour, and a meal of noodles with cabbage was considered an improvement. They rarely had meat.
Jiang Wanwan still remembers how she felt when she heard these words. She wanted to call the person back immediately and not give up those few work points.
After she came here, she never felt the inconvenience of communication because there was no one she cared about in this world. But after Lu Xiao left home, she felt worried and felt the inconvenience of communication.
Lu Xiao was very anxious when he saw the little woman holding his face in silence, her eyes red and tears about to fall.
I put her on the edge of the kang and wanted to wipe her tears, but I was afraid that my hands were too rough and would hurt her.
He grabbed her sleeve and wiped it for her. "What's wrong? Did someone wrong you? Were you bullied? Who bullied you?"
Thinking of the reason why Du Jiaming was sent to the construction site, Lu Xiao's face turned very ugly. Could it be that Du Jiaming didn't receive enough lessons and came to harass her again?
Or did someone say something unpleasant to her during the few days he came back late, causing her to feel wronged?
He knew that these people in the village loved to fabricate stories and make things up.
At this moment, he wished he could find Li Ergou and have a good talk with him about what had happened in the past few days. He wanted to avenge anyone who had wronged his wife.
Jiang Wanwan found his bewildered look both funny and distressing. She reached out to touch his face, "Silly boy, no one is bullying me. It's just that seeing you like this makes me want to cry. You've lost weight, and you've become older and uglier. Lu Xiao, don't do this anymore. I don't want you to go."
Only then did Lu Xiao realize that his image must be very bad.
His appearance was not very good when he left the construction site. He had specially dressed up to go there, but on the way back, he ignored this because he was eager to see her.
He missed her so much that he wanted to see her as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that his appearance would scare her.
