Everyone in the Qianjin Brigade knows that Lu Li wants to be a gigolo. They all say behind his back that he is a gigolo and women don't like him!
Tsk, if he doesn’t like it, then he doesn’t like it. It’s not like he will like everyone. It’s not like he is not picky about everything, okay!
Song Jingtian is to his liking in every aspect! He is willing to be her dog.
Jiang Yan blinked: "Who would complain about having too much money? Would you? If you don't make more money, raising a child will cost you a lot of money in the future! Do you think raising a child means feeding and clothing? Diapers and milk powder are free!"
Indeed, these are high-consumption items and most people cannot afford them. Feeding a baby some malted milk is a big deal, let alone milk powder that costs a few dollars or tens of dollars. It is unimaginable.
The one who was reincarnated into Jiang Yan's belly must have done a lot of good things in his previous life. He has a protective father and a wicked mother, so the child is born invincible.
"Raising a baby is very expensive, I have to consider it!" Lu Li used to hang out in the black market with his mother and saved some money, which he planned to give to Song Jingtian after marriage.
If there is a baby, there will be more to consider. He rolled his eyes and paid attention to Jiang Yan.
"Sister-in-law, please show me the way! Let me have a meal! You don't want to see your lovely brother-in-law begging for food, do you?"
As Song Jingtian gets older, she won't always be on the front line. Her retirement allowance won't be as much as it is now. It's enough to support him, but not enough to support the baby.
He also has to bring some income to the family. He can't leave all the burden of the family to Song Jingtian.
Jiang Yan saw through his thoughts and clicked her tongue several times: "You're in love, I'll figure it out for you when I have time. I won't let you starve to death! Go cook, is your brother coming back soon?"
There was a heavy rain and wind outside, and it never stopped. Jiang Yan felt a little nervous. I wondered if anything would happen.
Lu Li saw her worry and comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry! My brother is just a loach, nothing can hold him back, it's okay!"
Jiang Yan felt a little relieved after hearing this. She nodded, put away her paintings, and prepared to have dinner.
Lu Xiao was indeed busy as he received an urgent task. The typhoon made landfall and many farmers' houses were overturned, and many people were still missing.
While Lu Li was preparing the meal, Lu Xiao still hadn't come back. As if to confirm what Jiang Yan was thinking, Zhang Xiujuan, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, moved slowly and with difficulty over.
She shouted at the door: "Xiao Jiang, it's me, your sister-in-law Zhang, open the door for me!"
The wind was too strong and the rain was continuous. There were puddles everywhere on the ground. Jiang Yan put on her bucket shoes and went out with an umbrella. "Sister-in-law, why are you here? Why don't you stay at home? Aren't you afraid of being blown away? What's wrong? Is there any news from Lu Xiao?"
Jiang Yan's heart was in her throat, beating fast and hard and she couldn't stop.
"What did you say?" Zhang Xiujuan couldn't hear anything at all. The wind was whistling so hard that it hurt her ears.
She grabbed a handful of weeds that blew toward her face and said, "Let's go inside. It's freezing!"
She and Jiang Yan entered the house, feeling the warmth coming from all directions. Her face looked better. She rubbed her hands and exhaled a breath of cold air: "This island is good in every way, except that it rains like winter. Did you bring thick clothes? Wear two more layers, don't catch a cold."
Jiang Yan was wearing long sleeves and didn't feel cold in the house. Seeing Zhang Xiujuan shivering with her clothes dripping with water, she said, "Sister Zhang, please sit down. I'll find you two old clothes to wear. Don't catch a cold. It's very uncomfortable."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Zhang Xiujuan grabbed her hand and said, "I have to go back soon. I have a baby at home! I just want to inform your new sister-in-law to take good care of herself. The typhoon is coming and it will rain for several days. The men are out for disaster relief. Take care of yourselves!"
Lu Li peeled a steaming sweet potato for her and handed it to her: "Sister-in-law, eat a sweet potato to warm yourself up. I'll pour you some water. Please go, my brother and Jing Tian are both there?"
Zhang Xiujuan took it and ate two bites. "This sweet potato is sweet. You baked it well! Where did you buy it? Next time, weigh two kilograms for me. My kids like sweet food. I don't have time to buy it at work!"
All of this was arranged by Lu Li. He was excellent at choosing vegetables and was good at bargaining. After only being there for a few days, almost everyone in the market knew him.
Besides, he is good-looking and sweet-spoken, so those aunts like to give him a few more taels of rice. After all, they grow it themselves, so they can’t lose much!
Lu Li nodded: "Okay, I'll bring you two kilograms next time!"
He gave the water to Zhang Xiujuan, whose hands were white and wrinkled from blisters.
After two sips, I felt alive again.
She stood up and walked out: "I came here to trouble you to entertain me. I am so embarrassed. I am leaving now. You guys should go to bed early after dinner!"
"Sister-in-law, how about you use my umbrella?" Jiang Yan offered her her black umbrella, but Zhang Xiujuan refused. "It's useless. The wind is about to blow people away. Listen to my advice and don't go out. Otherwise, if it blows away, we won't be able to explain to your husband."
This was just a joke. Jiang Yan glared at her and said, "Sister-in-law, go back quickly! If you get blown away, we won't be able to explain to Brother Yang!"
Zhang Xiujuan didn't believe it at all: "Then your brother Yang must be happy to marry someone younger. He said I don't take care of myself! Old guys are very picky. I'll deal with him when he comes back. Let's go!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiujuan walked out the door. After Lu Li sent her out, he closed the door, hurried back into the room, and asked Jiang Yan: "Sister-in-law, shall we eat first?"
Jiang Yan sat down and said, "Pour some into a bowl and put it on the stove to warm it up. If he comes back late, he can still have something hot. Let's eat first!"
Lu Li nodded: "Okay, sister-in-law!"
After saying that, he went to the kitchen and left a portion for Lu Xiao, and put the rest on the coal stove. The two of them ate absent-mindedly.
After the meal, Lu Li was responsible for cleaning up. Jiang Yan simply washed up and went to lie down on the bed.
She took out her tablet and couldn't even concentrate on her favorite novel, feeling a little anxious.
Looking out the window, the rain was getting heavier.
She sighed and lay on the bed without turning off the light. She didn't know when she fell asleep.
She woke up on time the next day, but didn't see Lu Xiao. She quickly got out of bed and went out. Lu Li had already prepared breakfast.
"Good morning, sister-in-law. It's been raining and windy all night. I wonder how their search and rescue work is going!"
He was also looking forward to it, wishing he could rush to find Song Jingtian, but he was afraid of causing trouble for her, so he could only suppress his anxiety and wait where he was.
Jiang Yan went to wash up first, then sat down and said sullenly, "I wish I could grow an antenna to see what's going on. There's no news at all. With so many sisters-in-law, I can't cause panic! Let's eat first and wait for him to come back!"
Jiang Yan usually has a good appetite, but today she ate very little, which was unusual. She ate while looking towards the door.
Lu Li sighed and said nothing. This was probably the helplessness of military families.
They become nervous whenever men go out on a mission; the pay is high but the risk is also great!
