The knocking on the door continued.
Jian Luo had no choice but to grit his teeth and go out. He had been feeling heavy since he got pregnant, and when he suddenly felt light, he almost fell down because he couldn't control his walking posture and strength.
Tiezhu, who was standing outside, saw Jian Luo almost falling down in the yard through the crack in the door and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Luoluo, are you okay?"
Jian Luo walked around the chicken droppings in the yard and came over to remove the bolt: "It's okay."
Standing before him was the Tiezhu of his memory, his dark skin and innocent smile revealing the simplicity of a country boy. He looked at Jian Luo and suddenly pulled something out of his pocket: "Luoluo, guess what I brought you?"
Jian Luo was feeling guilty at the moment and asked, "What?"
Tiezhu took his hand and walked into the house: "You can't say this kind of thing at the door. Come on, come in!"
"Hey, you..."
Because of the disparity in strength, Jian Luo was pulled in before he could even resist. He was completely devastated. Before he could react, Tie Zhu and Lu Shifeng in the room met eyes.
One is a farmer wearing a cloth shirt, and the other is a marshal in an orthodox military uniform. The two people are facing each other, which is as weird as it can be.
The scene was very awkward for a moment.
A somewhat dangerous atmosphere inexplicably spread in the air.
Jian Luo's scalp tingled: "That..."
Tie Zhu and Lu Shi Feng looked at him at the same time and asked, "Who is he?"
"That..." Jian Luo's eyes wandered: "It's like this, listen to my explanation, don't get excited, don't get excited."
Jian Luo's eyes moved back and forth between Tie Zhu and Lu Shi Feng. Finally, he took a deep breath and said to Tie Zhu, "He is my distant cousin. His last name is Lu."
Tiezhu couldn't believe it: "Aren't you an orphan?"
“…”
Jian Luo said stubbornly: "What are you talking about? I am a member of the Jian family. He is the distant cousin of the Jian family, so he is mine."
After saying this, Tiezhu felt a little guilty. He was a slow-witted person and easily said the wrong thing. Now he had embarrassed Jian Luo again. Tiezhu was also a straightforward person. After thinking it over, he stepped forward and patted Lu Shifeng's arm actively and enthusiastically: "Brother, which village are you from? Why are you wearing such clothes?"
Jian Luo widened his eyes. He never expected that he would accidentally let his cousin pass by!
However, the scene he had imagined of the world collapsing and people getting into trouble did not happen. Lu Shifeng raised his eyelids, looked at Jian Luo, and repeated: "Cousin?"
Jian Luo choked.
Lu Shifeng's mouth curled up into a sneer, which made Jian Luo feel horrified.
Tiezhu didn't notice Jian Luo's cautiousness and nervousness at all, and his desire to survive wasn't strong at all: "You are Luo Luo's cousin, so from today on you are also my cousin. Don't worry, coming here is like coming to your own home. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I will do my best!"
Lu Shifeng withdrew his gaze from Jian Luo and looked at Tie Zhu again: "What is your relationship with him?"
Jian Luo's heart skipped a beat.
Tiezhu, a rough man, had never experienced such an interrogation before. A blush seemed to appear on his dark face. He said, "Damn it! Do you even need to ask this?"
“…”
Please, just shut up.
Jian Luo coughed lightly and said, "Tie Zhu is my elder brother. He usually takes good care of me."
I can't care about that anymore. I'll just treat it as a dream. God, please forgive this bad man! The main thing is that he doesn't want to die now!
Lu Shifeng opened his thin lips and repeated: "Brother?"
Tie Zhu thought Jian Luo was shy, so he didn't force her: "Yes, you can call me Big Brother!"
…
The room was silent.
It seemed like the explanation had been made clear, but the awkward yet weird atmosphere had not disappeared.
Jian Luo was about to change the subject. He said to Tie Zhu, "Um, Zhu Zi, didn't you say you brought me something? What is it?"
When this was mentioned, Tiezhu became excited. He suddenly pulled out a large wooden sculpture from his pants and handed it to Jian Luo like a treasure. He was very excited and said, "Luoluo, I made this myself. This is me. Look, don't we look alike? There are two sculptures here, one is you and the other is me, representing our long-lasting and inseparable relationship."
“…”
We are two now and we will never be separated. Are you kidding me, brother?
Jian Luo didn't even bother looking at the wood carving. Instead, he cast a somewhat timid gaze on Lu Shifeng who was not far away. When he met those red eyes, he felt a little pressured.
His will to survive was still strong. He stuffed the wooden sculpture into Tiezhu's hands and made up an excuse: "Well, Brother Tiezhu, since we want them to be together forever, it's better to let them stay together. What do you think, Jili?"
Tiezhu looked at Jian Luo in confusion.
Jian Luo wiped the sweat from his head and said to Tie Zhu, "Okay, okay, the things have been delivered. Go back now. I'll find you at another time."
"No, Luoluo..."
"It's nothing, just go!"
"etc……"
"Bang!"
The door was closed.
After sending this time bomb away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and looked at Lu Shifeng, feeling a little guilty: "My eldest brother just likes to joke around, don't take it to heart."
Lu Shifeng tapped his slender fingers on the table, and the man said slowly, "Which one is he?"
"Um?"
"Your historical boyfriend."
“…”
You still remember this.
Jian Luo recalled the time when she had counted Lu Shifeng's boyfriends and said awkwardly, "No."
Lu Shifeng: "How about I ask for you?"
"Okay, the first one." Jian Luo sighed: "But he is an honest man. The most explicit thing we did together was holding hands. Not long after that, he got married, so we didn't have much in common."
There's no way he can compare to Lu Shifeng. Old Lu hit a home run right from the start!
Lu Shifeng seemed to have thought of this as well, and was quite satisfied: "Yeah."
“…”
Jian Luo decided to do something to lighten the mood, then he heard the pigs squealing outside. Then he realized, "Ah, we haven't fed the pigs yet."
Thinking of this, he ran outside.
The process and procedures of feeding pigs are a bit troublesome, especially the bucket, which is very heavy to carry. Country people will pick green leaves from the mountains to feed pigs, dry them and mash them, and then just add some ingredients to a bucket of green thick soup.
Jian Luo was quick and agile and finished the preparation quickly. Just when he was about to pick it up, Lu Shifeng picked up the bucket before him.
Jian Luo: "Don't take it, it's dirty."
Lu Shifeng glanced at him and asked, "Where should I put it?"
"That."
Jian Luo pointed at the pig trough. Who else in this life would have seen Lu Shifeng's precious hands, the ones that only held a gun, pick up a pig feed bucket? The tall, handsome man in a neatly trimmed military uniform, standing at the edge of the pigpen with a shiny green bucket in his hands, pouring feed in. The pigs were still squealing. The scene was hilarious.
Jian Luo burst out laughing.
Lu Shifeng turned around: "What are you laughing at?"
"It feels so awkward." Jian Luo's eyebrows curved, and he patted his flat belly: "I didn't expect you would do this. In fact, I can do it myself. I'm not pregnant now."
Lu Shifeng put the bucket aside: "Feeding a pig is nothing. If you encounter special circumstances during a march or a battle, the food you eat will be worse than this."
“…”
Jian Luo's smile froze on her face.
Lu Shifeng walked to the water tank nearby to scoop water to wash his hands, and said, "Helping you do things has nothing to do with whether you are pregnant or not."
Jian Luo's eyes widened: "Huh?"
He couldn't quite believe what he heard, or rather, he couldn't quite believe what he heard. He always thought that the care he enjoyed was because of the child, but today, the Marshal said this. Could it be that he thought that even without the child, he would still treat him well?
Lu Shifeng glanced at him sideways: "What's the problem?"
"……No."
After feeding the pigs, I remembered that the vegetables in the field had not been harvested. Although it was a dream, I still had to abide by the rules in the dream. It happened that he had not come back for a long time, so I went for a walk.
Thinking of this, Jian Luo said to Lu Shifeng, "Do you want to see our village? You must have never seen a place like this."
Lu Shifeng said, "I have seen it."
"ah?"
Lu Shifeng didn't explain much: "Let's go."
Jian Luo was afraid that others might see him, so he said, "Can you change your clothes?"
Just now he suddenly remembered that he didn't know what had possessed him to learn how to make clothes for his lover. He also had a set of clothes for Tiezhu at the bottom of the box. Tiezhu was actually a little shorter than Lu Shifeng, but it would be fine if he could make do with it.
Lu Shifeng glanced at Jian Luo and asked meaningfully, "Your clothes?"
“…”
Who are you looking down on?
Jian Luo angrily took out the poorly made clothes from the closet and handed them to Lu Shifeng: "Here, try it."
Lu Shifeng took the cloth jacket without any disgust and went to change his clothes elsewhere. Jian Luo just stood there imagining what the Marshal would look like wearing the clothes he made.
"Squeak"
The door rang.
He turned around and saw Lu Shifeng wearing a coat that he had made with poor craftsmanship. The blue and white color scheme was so tight, and there was a tear in one place where it was not sewn properly. However, such a horrible-looking piece of clothing inexplicably gave Lu Shifeng the feeling of being in a fashion blockbuster.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, but for some people who are naturally beautiful, clothes come to the rescue. Even beggar's clothes can be made to look like limited edition fashion items.
Jian Luo praised: "It's quite beautiful."
Lu Shifeng: "Is this made for your brother Tiezhu?"
! !
Jian Luo stuttered with a guilty conscience: "No, it's not."
"Really?" Lu Shifeng pointed to the cuffs, where there was a very clumsy iron word embroidered on it: "What is this?"
Oops, I forgot about that.
Jian Luo was not right but still confident: "My heart is as strong as iron!"
“…”
Lu Shifeng looked at his extreme survival and wanted to laugh for some reason.
After a lot of trouble, they finally got out. On the rural roads, they would often encounter people's free-range chickens or dogs taking a walk. Along the way, any dog that saw Lu Shifeng would run away with its legs tucked between its legs as if it had seen a ghost.
Jian Luo laughed: "Dog."
Lu Shifeng looked at him indifferently.
Jian Luo stopped laughing: "Well, what I mean is that you are quite perceptive."
“…”
Many people on the road also looked at the Marshal, but Jian Luo basically ignored them. He had no presence in the village to begin with, so it didn't matter to him.
When we arrived at the cornfield, the sun was shining brightly and the corn was growing well, but there were quite a few weeds underneath.
Jian Luo sighed: "Okay, let's get to work!"
He was very serious about his work. He started pulling out weeds as soon as he said he would. Lu Shifeng squatted down behind him and said to him, "Go over there and rest."
Jian Luo was stunned.
Lu Shifeng said, "I'll do it."
? ?
After feeding the pigs, there is also weeding service?
Jian Luo didn't really leave: "You've never done farm work before, how about I show you how to do it, and you can treat it as a new experience."
Lu Shifeng: "I have done it."
Jian Luo was really surprised this time: "Huh?"
Lu Shifeng squatted down to weed, and said as he did so: "When we were in Dragon Valley."
Hearing him mention the place name Longgu, Jian Luo felt inexplicably sad. He always felt that the place had never brought happiness to Lu Shifeng.
Since it is a sad place, let’s not mention it.
The two of them pulled weeds together for a while. The sun was too strong, so Jane sat on the shore for a while, drank some water, and then washed her face in the ditch next to her. When she was about to find a towel to wipe her face, she took out a picture book from her pocket.
He was stunned and opened the book. It was filled with densely packed and somewhat twisted words. These words were all his own. It had been so long, and when he saw the picture book in his hand, he felt a complicated feeling in his heart.
Lu Shifeng walked behind him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Hmm?" Jian Luo said, "Picture book."
Lu Shifeng glanced at his hand and asked: "What study materials do you have here?"
"No, it's an entertainment book, but I use it to study." Jian Luo looked at the pages in his hand and said inexplicably: "Actually, I haven't been to school much."
Lu Shifeng looked at him quietly.
Jian Luo's voice was calm: "My family is poor, so I can only send two, and I have to keep one at home to help with the work."
"But if I work quickly, I can also go to the school window and listen." Jian Luo flipped through the pages of the picture book: "When my sister and brother come home to do their homework, if they are happy, I can learn a little bit."
Lu Shifeng: "Do you want to learn?"
Jian Luo sighed: "Who coming from the countryside doesn't want to change their destiny through knowledge?"
It was because he himself had suffered losses that he wanted his younger brother to go to the best school. Many elders put their own regrets on their children, and he was no exception.
Lu Shifeng sat down next to him: "I can't tell much."
Jian Luo: "What?"
Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him half teasingly: "For example, when the high priest taught you."
“…”
How can it be the same!
The atmosphere was gone in a second. Jian Luo blushed and argued, "I wanted to study before because I wanted to go to university and change my fate. When the priest taught me, I was already grown up. What's the point of changing my fate? Besides, he was clearly prenatal education, okay?"
Lu Shifeng looked at him deeply with his red eyes: "Is that what you think?"
Jian Luo choked.
"To change your destiny, you don't rely on planning, but on action." Lu Shifeng's voice was low and magnetic: "It's not too late now. It's not too late until you keep waiting for the next second."
Jian Luo held the picture book in his hand, looking thoughtful.
Lu Shifeng said, "You have access to resources that many people cannot access. Every day you can learn from these people is an immeasurable treasure. This is your opportunity, a resource that can be utilized. You must do your best to seize it while you still can."
Jian Luo said: "Use?"
He didn't expect that Lu Shifeng would actually say this word. If we really want to talk about resources, is he taking advantage of him? Then, is he also taking advantage of himself?
Jian Luo suddenly felt a little confused.
Lu Shifeng didn't give him much time: "We've finished weeding, go back."
Jian Luo nodded.
The two of them walked back. When they reached the door of their home, Jian Luo found that the people who had visited relatives had already returned. He stood at the gate and could still hear the voices inside.
A woman's voice came: "Da Mao, where is the candy your aunt asked you to bring back?"
My sister said, “Here it is.”
"Give it to me. Mom has put it away. You and your brother can't eat too much. It will cause worms in your teeth."
"Mom, Luoluo hasn't eaten yet."
"He's even younger, how can he eat candy!" The woman's voice was a bit reprimanding: "You and your brother are not allowed to tell him that there is candy at home, don't you know?"
My sister nodded: "I understand."
After a while, the woman remembered: "Mom, I remembered, there is still a piece of cake here, and it can't be put away. Call your brother to share it with him. Eat it quickly, otherwise Luoluo will be back soon."
