Chapter 157: Keep your word



When Ruan Suhe realized that the bicycle belonged to her, she couldn't help but walk forward and touch the shiny body of the bicycle.

Nowadays, a 28-inch bicycle can be considered a luxury item. Not only do you need a ticket, you also need money. And having these two things alone is not enough, you also need a channel to purchase it.

"I almost forgot to ask you if you can ride a bike. If you can't, I'll teach you after dinner."

Lu Zhengxiang seemed to have just remembered this incident, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly while speaking.

"I know a little bit, but I've never ridden a 28-inch bicycle before, so I don't know if I can do it. Don't worry, let's eat first, or it will get cold."

Lu Zhengxiang said he understood, closed the gate, washed his hands, and then followed her into the living room.

The family of four finally sat down and had a quiet dinner.

The potato curry rice bowl was very popular and the whole family did not stop eating, completely immersed in the delicious taste.

"Wow~ This is the most delicious rice and vegetables I have ever eaten in my life!"

...

...

The cute little Ruoruo squinted her eyes because of the delicious food, and shook her head with emotion.

"Su He, how did you come up with this idea? It's really delicious and goes well with rice."

Lu Zhengxiang was indeed amazed by this potato curry rice bowl, and couldn't help but want to know how she came up with such a unique recipe.

"If it tastes good, eat more. I didn't cook often before, so I always felt choked when eating rice. I had to soak the rice in soup to eat it smoothly."

"I thought we could add some more soup to the dish so we can have more rice when we mix it with the rice."

Ruan Suhe would never tell the reason why she could make potato curry rice, so she just made up an excuse to get away with it.

Probably because the food was delicious, everyone finished eating quickly. Ruoruo was still savoring the taste and pestered Ruan Suhe to make potato curry rice every day in the future.

This was a piece of cake for her, so of course she agreed to Ruoruo immediately.

After washing the pots and pans and cleaning up the kitchen, Lu Zhengxiang pushed his bicycle out of the yard and called her to try the bicycle.

At first, in Ruan Suhe's eyes, this 28-inch bicycle was almost as tall as himself.

She even felt that she might not be able to control the 28-inch bicycle.

When she got on the car, she almost stumbled, thanks to Lu Zhengxiang who supported her from the back seat and helped her keep her balance.

She was now like a small ornament hanging on a 28-inch bicycle. Although her legs and feet could reach the pedals, she had to tilt the bicycle 30 degrees to stand on the ground.

To be honest, when she was in the 21st century, bicycles and electric bikes did not have seats as high as the 28-inch bicycle, so people of average height could ride them freely.

The height of the bicycle is somewhat inappropriate given Ruan Suhe's height.

However, this was not difficult for her. She let Lu Zhengxiang let go and tried to imitate the way actors rode bicycles that she had seen in TV dramas in the 1970s.

He used both hands to keep the handlebars steady, put his left foot on the left pedal, and pushed a few steps with his right foot on the right rear to generate power. Then he let his body move upwards, crossed his right foot over the rear seat, sat on it with his buttocks first, and then stepped on the right pedal with his right foot.

When she first sat on it, her balance was a little off and she swayed several times.

Lu Zhengxiang was worried that she would fall, so he ran over quickly and protected her from behind the bicycle.

Fortunately, she only swayed for a short while, and quickly regained control of the handlebars. She used the force to pedal two more times, and the bicycle moved forward several times.

Ruan Suhe gradually became familiar with this way of riding and rode his bicycle around the staff quarters for several laps.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this Captain Lu is really good to his wife. Look, he even bought her a bicycle. He doesn't mind her fooling around outside."

"What do you think? His wife is out there every day, and there were rumors of her having mistresses. Really, if she really brings a strange man home one day, no one can tell, right?"

Well, this family compound can’t stand others being better than them. No, no, no, it can’t stand Ruan Suhe being better than them.

Just when Ruan Suhe went out for a bicycle ride, the neighbor's aunt and grandmother started to get angry and talk about this and that.

"If you have the ability, ask your old man to buy you a bicycle. If your man is incompetent, don't be jealous here."

In fact, there are not many households in the compound that have bicycles. Even if they do, no one would practice riding them in the compound as freely as Ruan Suhe does.

The gossipers originally wanted to say something to Ruan Suhe, but when they turned around, they saw Lu Zhengxiang standing not far away. His presence gave off a chilling aura.

They were afraid of Lu Zhengxiang's high position and did not dare to retort on the spot. They could only hold their breath and curse silently in their hearts.

Seeing that they shut up, Ruan Suhe strolled around the yard twice before riding back towards her own yard.

"Don't take their gossip seriously."

Lu Zhengxiang's ears were as good as Shunfenger's. As soon as he returned to the yard and closed the door, he turned around and comforted her, fearing that she would think too much.

Ruan Suhe waved her hand to indicate that everything was fine.

If she still cares about these details, wouldn't that be no different from being petty?

Besides, she had just retorted, so this little thing wouldn't make her too angry.

"Zhengxiang, I like you like this."

Ruan Suhe originally wanted to praise him, but somehow, the words turned into a confession...

"Ahem... I mean... I like the way you keep your word..."

Well, any extra explanations are useless. The love in Lu Zhengxiang's eyes is now so much that it is about to overflow.

"Haha, haha, let's go plant vegetable seedlings and fruit trees..."

In other words, she was somewhat embarrassed, so she quickly found an excuse to change the subject and dragged Lu Zhengxiang to tinker in the vegetable garden.

The two children also found planting seedlings interesting and joined in directly. Although they didn’t know much about planting, they were good at digging holes.

Lu Zhengxiang and his companion were planting the vegetable seedlings one by one in the back, while the two little ones were calculating the intervals and digging holes in the front.

Ruan Suhe did not stop planting the seedlings, but she was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that Lu Zhengxiang was indeed very reliable.

Although he is a man of few words, his actions always come before his words, which is a rare quality in men.

Ruan Suhe now feels more and more that living with this man, her future is not without hope.

As for his machismo and his habit of wanting to take charge of everything, it's not an intolerable bad habit. As long as he can take the initiative to solve problems... that's not bad.

As she thought about it, a smile involuntarily crept up her cheeks, and a blush appeared on her face, adding a bit of playfulness to her originally fair face.

"Su He, I...may have to go on a mission tonight..."
