"Yu Yin, the package your second sister sent has arrived. It's probably the mosquito net you've been thinking about."
Yu Yin, her hands covered in dough, ran over from the kitchen, her eyes wide with delight as she stared at the package in Lu Shurui's hands, as if she could see through the thick wrapping to the contents inside.
"Alright, stop looking at it. I'll put it aside for now. You can open it again after you finish eating. What can you see here? Do you really think you have X-ray vision?"
Ignoring Lu Shurui's complaints, Yu Yin made sure he wouldn't open the package before she felt relieved enough to cook, turning back every few steps as she left. Yu Yin thought to herself, "How could you possibly understand the joy of unpacking packages? Since coming here, I've had absolutely nothing!"
I made chive pancakes tonight, and I've used up all my egg coupons. But the chicks in the yard haven't grown up yet, so I'll have to rely on the chicks in my virtual space for egg freedom!
The chive pancakes smelled delicious. Yu Yin was thinking about opening the package, and like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, she didn't savor them much before putting down her chopsticks and finishing her meal.
This made Lu Shurui look at her frequently, wondering if she was in such a hurry, since the package wouldn't disappear.
Yu Yin had nothing on her mind except the package, her man, and her child. She simply couldn't stand the thick mosquito net; it was too stuffy.
Cut the knot with scissors and unravel the thread bit by bit. Resources are scarce, so these threads can be reused. Clothes are always new for three years, old for three years, and then patched up for another three years!
First target: mosquito nets.
I picked out the largest one, wrapped it up gently, and it was 100% there. Opening it, it really was a mosquito net. The first thing I saw was white mesh, which felt quite soft to the touch. I shook it out, and it was a large double mosquito net—not bad. I set it aside.
Continuing down, this time the texture is thinner, and it's still white. When you unfold it, it's a single person's item.
"Ah, ah..."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Lu Shurui ran in and saw Yu Yin screaming while holding a sky-blue net.
"Lu Shurui, there's even a blue one! It's been so long, I've finally seen a color other than black, white, and gray."
Letting out a deep breath, Lu Shurui shook his head and left helplessly. Women, what strange creatures!
Yu Yin didn't care about any of that. She wanted to use this sky-blue mosquito net herself, to lift her spirits!
It feels good to the touch, with a slightly gritty texture. It's quite sturdy and breathable.
Lu Erjie sent a total of five mosquito nets, three double ones and two single ones, as well as some milk powder, canned food, and defective cloth... This time, Yu Yin's supplies were much more abundant.
In her letter, Lu Erjie mentioned that the sky-blue one was the latest model, the other two were new, and the rest were defective. She hadn't spent all her money, so she used it to buy Yu Yin defective fabric. There was also a large roll of fabric that she had found in Huaiguo, but she didn't know what to do with it, so she asked Yu Yin to take a look. Lu Erjie kept one-third for herself and sent the rest to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin found the fabric that Lu Erjie had mentioned. It felt somewhat like the modal underwear that was so common in later years, and when she stretched it, it was quite elastic. She decided to study it and make a pair of underwear for Lu Shurui to try on.
"Everything's all packed. What good stuff is there that will make you scream with excitement? People who don't know better will think I stepped on your tail."
Yu Yin reflected on her behavior just now, and it really did seem a bit like it. Sigh, in this era of scarcity, getting so excited over a sky-blue mosquito net is truly embarrassing for a time traveler!
"What do you know? Beautiful things make people happy. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and put the mosquito net up for me. Just put up the sky blue one."
Whether it's embarrassing or not, who would know if she didn't say it!
"Okay, I'll go and install it for you right away. If you have any requests, please let me know."
"Ah, ah..."
The two little ones, not wanting to be left out, came out to seek attention, making "ah, ah" noises incessantly.
Yu Yin looked over and exclaimed, "Oh, An'an can roll over now!"
"Lu Shurui, look! Your daughter can roll over now!"
Lu Shurui quickly looked over and saw that the little girl who was just lying on her back was now lying face down, her head bobbing up and down.
The silly dad kept laughing. The fact that the baby could roll over meant that the child was healthy!
The two forgot to put away the mosquito net and instead gathered around the two little ones, watching them.
"Pingping, your little sister rolled over! Pingping, do you want to roll over too?"
"Ah, ah..."
The little brat answered Yu Yin with an "ah" sound and a string of drool.
An'an, who was lying on her stomach, was probably tired. She struggled for a long time but couldn't roll back up. She was sweating profusely and was about to start crying. Lu Shurui quickly picked up his little girl and let her lie on his shoulder.
The little one who was just crying is now fine, resting his head on his father's shoulder, sucking on his fingers, drool dripping down his face. He's so adorable! What normal person could resist a human baby?
"Ah, ah..."
Okay, Pingping wants a hug too.
Yu Yin picked up her eldest son; his chubby little body felt so soft to the touch.
After calming the two little ones down, Lu Shurui was directed to press down the mosquito net.
After removing the thick, stuffy old mosquito net, Yu Yin instructed Lu Shurui to wipe off the dust, otherwise it wouldn't match her new sky-blue mosquito net.
Lu Shurui followed instructions patiently and was good at doing things. In no time, the new mosquito net was successfully installed.
"Look, doesn't it look like a blue ocean? Lying in it feels like being underwater!"
"I didn't realize you had such a vivid imagination!"
The longer they spent together, the more Yu Yin felt that Lu Shurui's words were a bit off-putting, often saying things she didn't want to hear.
"If you don't believe me, lie down inside."
As she spoke, Yu Yin climbed onto the bed, lay on her back, and looked at the sky-blue mosquito net around her. If there were a bit of wind and the mosquito net were blown up, the scene would be perfect.
"Come up here and experience it for yourself!"
Yu Yin called out to Lu Shurui and patted the spot next to her, signaling him to lie down quickly.
Lu Shurui hesitated for a moment, remembering that Yu Yin was still watching him.
He carefully sat on the bed and lay down.
"Look, if there's a bit of wind blowing the mosquito net, doesn't it feel like being at the beach?"
Yu Yin closed her eyes and imagined herself lying under a sunshade on the beach with a chilled coconut juice beside her. Ah, how wonderful!
Lu Shurui turned his head and looked at Yu Yin, who had her eyes closed and looked completely satisfied, and his heart suddenly started pounding.
Suddenly, he realized that Yu Yin's eyelashes were really long, and he unconsciously reached out to touch them.
As soon as she reached out her hand, Yu Yin opened her eyes.
"How about it? Can you feel the sea breeze blowing in your face?"
"It's alright, it's alright..."
Lu Shurui was somewhat incoherent and at a loss for words.
"Are you hot? Why is your face so red?"
"I'm going to check on the child. You can experience it for yourself."
Lu Shurui got up and left, looking rather disheveled.
Yu Yin didn't feel anything was wrong. She was still lying in bed, looking at the sky-blue mosquito net, and she felt so happy!
As Lu Shurui left the room, his heart was also unsettled. He suddenly sensed a change in his feelings for Yin. He felt a little uneasy; he had no experience with relationships and felt somewhat unfamiliar with them.
Two married men and women with children are slowly groping their way in the world of relationships, unsure when they will be able to reach a safe harbor!
