Chapter 043 Chapter 43 Confession and Gift

The villagers eat on the kang, putting the dishes on a rectangular dish plate, and the family sits cross-legged in a circle to eat. Lin Yue is not used to eating this way, so as long as the weather is good, they usually eat at a small table in the yard. However, the locusts have not been eliminated yet, so the dining table cannot be placed outside, so Lin Yue can only bring breakfast to the kang.

Just as breakfast was served, Zhang Yuandong came back from Zhang Shouyu's house.

Lin Yue had just joined the crowd watching the excitement and stood at the door of Zhang Shouyu's house for a long time. It wasn't that she didn't want to go see Auntie Zhou, but Liu Dehui was on guard against her. She had been afraid that Auntie Zhou would use her family's things to support her, so she never let her into his house.

The crowd was talking about how difficult it had been for Auntie Zhou in the past few years, how unscrupulous her son and daughter-in-law were, and all the quarrels Auntie Zhou had with her daughter-in-law were brought up again. To them, other people's misfortunes were just a few idle words after dinner, and they actually preferred to watch the excitement. Lin Yue didn't want to listen anymore, so he went home.

During breakfast, Zhang Yuandong briefly described Aunt Zhou's condition. Lin Yue felt relieved to know that she had woken up.

The sugar beans that Zhang Yuandong fed her were actually candies mixed with spiritual spring water.

Lin Yue took out a small T-paper package and handed it to him: "Keep this with you, don't lose it. I know your rules, I won't ask you what your mission is this time, but if you get injured, this can at least delay the injury. I don't know how much it will be effective, anyway, it's up to you. Also, don't give it to others casually, even if you trust them."

Zhang Yuandong took it seriously and assured: "Don't worry, I will never let you be exposed!"

After hesitating for a while, he asked again: "I have some doubts, I wonder if I can ask you."

Lin Yue's heart has been hanging since last night. She knew that she would have to confess next. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her throat tightened: "If you have anything else to know, just ask."

Zhang Yuandong: "So, are you really a god?"

Lin Yue: ...

Do you want to listen to what you said? Is this what you, a soldier, should say? I mean you are more feudal and superstitious than Aunt Su, right? And who taught you to ask questions like that?

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said firmly: "No, don't let your imagination run wild. We should advocate science and oppose superstition. I am just an ordinary human being."

Zhang Wanli and Zhang Linghan were sitting cross-legged on the kang, each drinking porridge from a bowl. When they heard their parents talking, they looked at this and that, very busy.

Zhang Wanli heard a topic that he could understand and interrupted, "My mother is a human, not a deity!"

Zhang Linghan retorted loudly: "You are wrong, my mother is a tiger mother!"

Lin Yue was embarrassed. She had been with the child for so long that she didn't talk like a normal person anymore. Which normal person would call himself "human"?

Also, these two little guys are only two and a half years old, can they already "listen to the bottom lane"? They won't go out and say nonsense, will they?

She comforted the child for a few words and then took Zhang Yuandong to the kitchen.

Zhang Yuandong was already feeling a little awkward after asking the question just now, and now being dragged out again made him even more embarrassed. He looked around in the narrow stove room, but didn't dare to look at Lin Yue's face.

Lin Yue patted himself and said in fear: "I have to avoid talking to them in the future. I can't treat them as children anymore! Okay, don't think too much. I'm really not a god. You're a soldier, don't believe those nonsense!"

Zhang Yuandong asked hesitantly: "Then why did you appear here..." He wanted to ask how did you become my wife, but he didn't know how to say it.

Fortunately, Lin Yue understood what he meant. She thought about how to explain it and said slowly: "In our place, there is a magical phenomenon called 'time travel'. I am in this situation now. There is no rule for time travel, and even the Brick family can't explain the reason. So..."

So she really didn't know how to continue her story. All her words sounded like a joke to herself!

She used to think that such words were a joke, but now it was different. The joke had become reality, and if she had not experienced it herself, she would have found it very absurd.

Zhang Yuandong: "I believe you."

Look at that expression, does it look like he believes it!!!

Zhang Yuandong looked like he understood her and comforted her, "Don't worry, I really believe you, and I won't go out and say anything nonsense."

Lin Yue: Thank you.

Zhang Yuandong was afraid of asking a taboo question, so he didn't dare to ask further. He could only ask for the sake of conversation: "Can I ask what your name is?"

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "My name is Lin Yue."

Zhang Yuandong...why can't you tell me this too?

Lin Yue saw his confusion and explained, "My real name is Lin Yue. Oh, that's it."

She was anxious, so she squatted on the ground and wrote it out with her hands. The ground was compacted soil, and Lin Yue was anxious, so she didn't think much about it, and just used her fingernails to draw white marks on the ground.

Zhang Yuandong squatted hurriedly, found a wooden stick and handed it to her, secretly finding it funny. She looked so eager to prove herself, it seemed that what she said must be true.

He saw the words on the ground clearly and quickly helped the man up.

Lin Yue was also a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "If you want to know anything else, keep asking."

Zhang Yuandong: “No more.”

"That's all?" What about the confession session? Are you done with just asking these two trivial questions?

Zhang Yuandong nodded. He had already guessed some things, but there were other things he knew he would get no results from asking, so he simply decided not to ask anything.

He straightened his expression and said, "You can probably guess what my mission is this time. I have nothing to be afraid of, but I am afraid that you and the child will be in danger."

Lin Yue suddenly became nervous: "Are you here to investigate those people who hurt you last time? You were transferred to the County Public Security Bureau this time, aren't you here to be bait?"

Zhang Yuandong remained silent. If he had a choice, he actually didn't want to take this mission. Because once he showed up, his family would be exposed to danger. In order to complete the mission, he was not afraid of gunfire, but he was afraid of endangering his family's lives.

But a soldier's duty is to obey orders, and he cannot refuse. Moreover, if those people are not eliminated, his relatives may still be exposed to danger. For the safety of more people, he should arrest them as soon as possible.

He did not answer Lin Yue's question, but just said: "I have already submitted an application to the higher-ups, and someone will come to our village to protect you and the child in a while."

Lin Yue nodded. She didn't dare to be so arrogant as to think that she was great because she had space, and she didn't dare to joke about the safety of herself and her two children. She would be more than happy to have someone to protect them.

Zhang Yuandong finished explaining his own affairs and still stood there, not saying anything and showing no intention of moving. Lin Yue found this a little strange and urged him, "You should go to work, don't be late."

Zhang Yuandong showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and turned away and went into the house.

Lin Yue followed him into the house to look at the two children. The two children had almost finished their meals and started to eat in an unprofessional way. One of them was playing with the spoon, and the other was biting the edge of the bowl with his teeth and making strange faces. She looked over and saw that there was not much left in the bowl, and both of them should be able to finish it, so she deliberately said loudly: "Whoever finishes first can help mom clean up the dishes!"

When the two children heard this, they became anxious. They rushed to eat up all the rice, then raised their bowls high to show their mother.

Lin Yue didn't care who was actually eating faster, and lied with his eyes closed: "Hey, how come you all eat so fast? There's nothing I can do, I have to let you help me clean up the dishes!"

The two little guys shouted happily, climbed down from the kang, and went to clean up the dishes happily.

Zhang Yuandong listened to the whole thing and looked at the two children rushing to do housework in disbelief. He didn't know whether he should doubt his own ears first or the IQ of the two children.

Lin Yue cleaned up the dishes and saw that Zhang Yuandong had not left yet, so he urged him, "Don't you have to go to work today? Why haven't you left yet?"

Zhang Yuandong somewhat embarrassedly brought a large travel bag onto the kang, took out a set of clothes from the bag, and handed it to Lin Yue with a blushing face.

Lin Yue took it and was almost blinded by the pink color.

She shook out her clothes and found that it was still a complete set: a rose-red scarf, a pink corduroy windbreaker that barely covered her buttocks, and a corduroy skirt of the same color that was about as long as her calf, with a black belt.

Last fall, she had seen a woman in the county wearing a similar outfit. But her scarf was a goose-yellow knitted scarf, her top was black, her skirt was gray, and she was wearing a pair of high-heeled leather shoes. This outfit was really eye-catching, especially since she got off a car, and all the pedestrians on the road saluted her.

The outfit in Lin Yue's hand, uh... it's hard to comment. It's not that she can't wear pink clothes, but this dress is too old-fashioned. The woman she saw last time was also in her forties, and she was wearing a color that made her look calm and capable, but it was different from the one Zhang Yuandong bought.

But if she could really overcome her inner shame and wear it out, she would probably be stared at by people all over the street.

To be honest, corduroy fabric is a good thing nowadays, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.

She thought of the pink scarf he brought back last time, and felt her forehead throbbing. She had no doubt that he must have bought the scarf, but he was reluctant to give it to her because he doubted her identity.

Lin Yue suddenly had a terrible thought. If she said she liked him... thinking about it, he couldn't even say thank you.

Zhang Yuandong smiled foolishly and touched his crew cut: "I don't know what to buy for you. I went to the department store with my comrades before and saw this outfit and I thought it would suit you very well. Try it on and see if it fits you well?"

Lin Yue smiled awkwardly and said, "No need to try it on, it fits, it fits!"

Just tell me, were the salespersons at that time very enthusiastic about you? They were counting on you to achieve the sales performance this month!
