Chapter 14: A big success



He Ting ran away as if escaping. Lu Baiwei stuffed the clothes into the closet and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Was He Ting shy just now?

What was she thinking about that made her blush suddenly when she mentioned living together?

It turns out that someone as aloof as He Ting also has such a shy and innocent side. Lu Baiwei couldn't help but feel amazed.

Hearing the noise coming from the room outside, Lu Baiwei walked out from the inner room: "Didn't you say you were going to the educated youth camp to get something? Why are you back again?"

Lu Baiwei thought it was He Ting who came back, so she walked out of the house and saw that the person coming was Tang Jingshan carrying a ladder.

Tang Jingshan is Lu Baiwei's uncle.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Tang Jingshan smiled innocently, "Your third uncle said that you would move to the clinic after you got married. This house has been abandoned for two years and has been leaking. I was thinking of replacing the broken tiles for you."

"The dustpan I brought should be enough."

Tang Jingshan put up the ladder and called Lu Baiwei: "Come on, Weiwei, hold the ladder."

Lu Baiwei's uncle Tang Jingshan is an honest man.

He is always quiet and just keeps his head down at work.

But if you need him, he will be there immediately without having to ask for help.

These days, the brigade has finished harvesting rice and is turning the fields and planting seedlings in preparation for planting autumn rice.

Her uncle is an experienced farmer and is very tired from plowing the fields all day.

She must have heard her third uncle say that she was bullied by Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua, so she came here in a hurry carrying a ladder, still wearing muddy clothes after work.

Without saying a word, he set up a ladder for her to go up to the roof to change the tiles.

Lu Baiwei was very moved and her eyes were a little moist.

"Weiwei, you go downstairs and pass me the tiles. I'll make sure this house is cleaned up before dark."

"Okay, uncle."

Her marriage to He Ting was so rushed that Lu Baiwei didn't have time to go to her uncle's house to discuss it.

In her previous life, she was instigated by Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua to become estranged from her uncles, which was the thing that Lu Baiwei regretted and felt most guilty about until her death.

Fortunately, she had a chance to start over and could make up for what she owed to her uncles.

The uncle and nephew worked in perfect harmony, one passing the tile to the other and then carrying it to the roof.

Lu Baiwei talked to Tang Jingshan: "Uncle, He Ting and I went to the commune to get our marriage certificate today, and I didn't have time to come to your house to tell you and your aunt."

"He Ting bought you two bottles of wine. I asked my third uncle to bring them over. When the house is cleaned up, I'll cook a table of food and invite you and your aunt to come for dinner."

"Your third uncle brought some wine home."

He also has a niece and a niece-in-law to take care of him. Tang Jingshan is very happy: "Weiwei, it's good to get married. The young man looks capable."

The reason why Lu Baiwei married He Ting was not only because this childhood marriage was arranged by her grandfather, but also because she was eager to get rid of the greedy Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua.

From the time they got their marriage certificate until now, He Ting gave her a very good impression.

Many things are different from the previous life.

He Ting was a better person than she had imagined.

All that love and affection is just something out of a plot in a romance novel. Living her life over again, Lu Baiwei feels that the most important thing is to get away from that home and find a reliable person to live with.

What's more, He Ting is very good-looking and seems to be in a good mood.

"Uncle, the person grandpa found must be right."

"He Ting and I will live a good life."

"well!"

After hearing Lu Baiwei say that He Ting was a nice person, Tang Jingshan seemed relieved.

He was flipping the tiles on the roof skillfully, sighing from time to time in response.

When Tang Jingshan was helping to turn over the tiles, his cousin Tang Yunling came over with a bamboo basket and waved to Lu Baiwei from a distance.

"Weiwei, come and see what delicious food I brought you."

"My mother made fish soup."

Tang Yunling was very excited: "Weiwei, you are really capable. These past two days, everyone in our Tang family was worried that you were being bullied. If you don't make a sound, it's fine. If you do, you will make a big splash."

"I, your sister, followed my mother to the aunt's house next door to fish for a day, and you made a big catch."

"Tang San went home and said that you treated your father and stepmother so well today that they were completely submissive. You should be like this. You are worthy of being a member of our Tang family."

The Tang Lao San mentioned by Tang Yunling refers to Lu Baiwei's third uncle Tang Jinghe.

Tang Jinghe is her cousin, and Tang Yunling is not her biological cousin, there is a gap between them.

But the old Tang family only had sons, Lu Baiwei already had five or six cousins, and only her cousin Tang Jinghe had a daughter, Tang Yunling.

Lu Baiwei grew up in her grandfather's house and got along with Tang Yunling like a real sister.

Her cousin Tang Yunling has several older brothers and cousins, and several younger brothers and cousins. The daughter of the old Tang family is very privileged, with a lot of people backing her up, so her cousin was raised to be a hot-tempered little hot-tempered girl with a straightforward personality who can't stand any anger.

Tang Yunling also couldn't bear to see Lu Baiwei being wronged.

Lu Jiaojiao first clamored to marry He Ting, who had a childhood engagement with Lu Baiwei. Then Liu Chunhua instigated her to propose marriage to Yin Zhihe, a poor household in the brigade. At the last minute, Lu Jiaojiao seduced Yin Zhihe and hid in the haystack.

Tang Yunling was so angry about the bullying of Lu Baiwei and the incident at the threshing ground of the brigade that she couldn't eat.

Upon learning that He Ting had proposed marriage after three twists and turns, Lu Baiwei immediately got a marriage certificate with He Ting and also dealt with Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua. Tang Yunling finally felt relieved and felt extremely happy.

As a result, she also looked at He Ting differently.

"Weiwei, today my mom and I went to my uncle's place in the next brigade to catch fish. This fish soup is very fresh. I know you and He Ting just moved in and haven't cooked yet, so I asked my mom to stew it and even add corn cakes to it."

Carrying the basket of food into the house, Tang Yunling brought out the fish soup and put it on the table. He also took out the corn cakes made by Lu Baiwei's third aunt, and also took out two pounds of flour and one pound of oil, as well as freshly picked vegetables, and seasonings such as salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.

"You and He Ting just moved in, so you won't be able to start a fire tonight. Just drink some fish soup with corn tortillas for now."

"Save the flour for making pancakes tomorrow. Use a knife to chop the cucumber I picked into a salad tomorrow morning."

Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling chatted for a while in the house. Tang Jingshan had already finished retiling the roof and replaced all the broken tiles before dark.

Tang Jingshan is good at housework and replacing tiles is a piece of cake for him.

After finishing his work, he carried the ladder and called Tang Yunling, "Lingling, let's go home together."

"Uncle, you and sister can stay and have dinner together!"

"No, no, you just moved in and haven't turned on the stove yet, so you can drink fish soup."

Tang Jingshan waved his hand, climbed up the ladder, picked up the dustpan and left.

Tang Yunling chased after him: "Uncle, don't be anxious, wait for me."

He Ting didn't know that while he was at the educated youth site moving things, Tang Jingshan had already helped him and Lu Baiwei replace the broken tiles on the roof.

Zhou Yanfeng helped him carry his things to the clinic, and the two were still discussing how to remove the tiles on the roof.

"Brother Ting, I don't think we need to go to the Red Flag Brigade's tile kiln. At most, we can use a dustpan of tiles. It's not worth it for them to bother with us."
