Chapter 181 Killing the New Year Pig
Before meeting Wen Wan, Lu Dongping's only thought was about money, seeking ways to acquire it, knowing that money made life easier. After meeting Wen Wan, he had only one thought: to pursue her, to make this cuddly little girl his own. As they began to get to know each other, Lu Dongping regained his goal: to earn money by day to support his wife, and to love her tenderly by night.
So, how could he get tired of it? He felt that he would never get tired of it in his entire life.
Whenever he saw someone, he wanted to hug and kiss her, especially at night. He didn't want to stop. When facing the woman he liked, once he had tasted the bone-melting ecstasy, a man would turn into an insatiable wolf.
Wen Wan was tossed and turned like a pancake for half the night, and the next day she finally slept until noon as she wished.
There was a thick layer of snow outside, making the room brighter than in the previous few days. It was too warm under the quilt, and Wen Wan didn't want to move at all. She turned over, blinked, and closed her eyes again. Then, Lu Donglin's ghostly howling voice came from outside.
"Brother, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know you couldn't play with that thing!"
Wen Wan frowned, reached out a hand to pull the sweater over her head and sat up.
Outside, Lu Donglin was being beaten.
The grown man was dragged back by his ears by Lu Dongping and kicked twice. It was so miserable.
There was still a lot of thunder but little rain. After all, even if I wore such thick clothes, a slap wouldn't penetrate them.
It had been a long time since Lu Dongping had beaten up that brat, Lu Donglin. After all, there was an age gap between the two. When Lu Donglin was seven or eight years old and doing his best, Lu Dongping was already an adult, already worrying about the family's livelihood. Every time Lu Donglin did something, he would just make a lot of noise but not do anything.
But this time, Lu Dongping was really angry. It was so damn embarrassing.
The cause was the two things that Lu Donglin took out yesterday.
He himself didn't know what it was, but he thought it was thin and elastic. It would inflate if he blew some air into it, and he could also put some water in it. When it was inflated, it became translucent, and felt like a pig's bladder, but cleaner than that one and quite fun.
I ran to find Lu Dongfu early in the morning and generously gave him one.
Two half-grown boys were playing with the family planning condoms given by the hospital like idiots and having a lot of fun.
The result was that Lu Dongping saw it. At first, Lu Dongping had no idea what it was. After all, the two people had made the thing look nothing like that.
When he filled the water tank, he suddenly came to his senses.
He remembered that before he got married, he went to the county hospital and they gave him some condoms to put on it, saying that he wouldn't get pregnant after putting them on. But when he tried it on, he felt really uncomfortable, so he put it in a box and locked it in a drawer, fearing that Lu Donglin would rummage around. As a result, after so long, he had almost forgotten about it, and this bastard dug it out. Not only did he find it, he gave it away as a gift and played with it in his hands.
Thinking about the purpose of that thing and the two people blowing air into it with their mouths like idiots, Lu Dongping found it simply unbearable to watch.
This bastard Lu Donglin really deserves to be punished.
To be honest, ever since Lu Donglin could run and jump, Lu Mingjiang and his wife basically couldn't fight each other, because he could run! Occasionally, Lu Mingjiang got angry and would chase people all over the mountain. If he caught up with them, he would give them a good beating, but the premise was that he had to catch up.
But if Lu Dongping wanted to leave, there was no need to chase him. He could just watch him run like walking a dog, then pick up stones and throw them at his legs, just like catching rabbits in the mountains. Every hit was accurate, and they would hit the tendon in his leg. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to, and could only be dragged back like a dog to be dealt with.
When Wen Wan woke up, the engine outside had already been turned off. Lu Donglin was sweeping the snow in the yard with a broom.
Wen Wan asked him, "Why were you crying just now? Did your brother beat you up?"
He was too embarrassed to say: "No, I was just joking with my brother!"
Okay, just kidding.
The world was covered in white snow and ice, it was so cold. Wen Wan regretted it, as it was so warm inside the quilt!
He turned and went into the house, rubbed his still warm hands, poured some boiling water there, and then went to make the bed.
Lu Dongping came in from outside, his nose red from the cold: "Are you awake?"
"woke up."
"The rice is warm in the pot for you. I'll bring it to you."
Wen Wan stood up and said, "No, I'll go to the kitchen to eat. It's warmer with the fire."
However, when she reached the kitchen door, she regretted it. There were so many people!
We will slaughter a pig tomorrow. Today I have nothing to do, so I went to the private plot to dig out the vegetables from the snow. Gao Xiulan is here, and Li Laiying also came here for the rare occasion. Last year we had the pig-slaughtering dinner at their house, and this year we will slaughter the pig together, but it will be Lu Mingjiang's turn to have the dinner at his house.
Even on a snowy day, Wang Mingfang would come over with her shoe soles to warm herself by the fire. Although the two families didn't have a good relationship, they were still family, so they had to keep their composure.
When I came here, I also brought Liu Liumei with me. I didn’t recognize everyone last time, so I guess I wanted to get familiar with them again.
I don’t know how long I’ve been here, but Wen Wan, who was sleeping in, was feeling extremely embarrassed.
Just as she was about to slip away, Wang Mingfang noticed her and called out to her, "Hey, my dear wife, get up! Come and warm yourself by the fire." She was so familiar with her as if this was her home.
Lu Dongping stood behind her and pushed her into the door.
Zhang Hongying was picking vegetables there and asked her, "Did you wake up today?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wen Wan wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
"Sleep, wake up!" Why did she want to sleep in? No, it wasn't that she wanted to sleep in, it was all because of that bastard Lu Dongping.
As she spoke, she met Liu Liumei's eyes and smiled embarrassedly.
Lu Dongping took the warm rice from the pot and gave it to her: "Eat it quickly, it's still hot."
Wen Wan couldn't eat because she was being watched, so she picked up some salted vegetables from the bowl and ran away.
Lu Dongping shamelessly followed him out.
Wang Mingfang laughed: "This young couple has a really good relationship. Look at how affectionate they are. They've been married for several months and they're still so affectionate."
Gao Xiulan said, "That kid Dongping has put so much thought into finding a wife like this. How could he not be clingy to someone he likes and insists on having?"
"Young people nowadays, like us back then, just wanted to have something to eat and not starve to death. Even when it came to finding a partner, we just followed whatever our family said. As long as we could make a living, that was all we needed."
Zhang Hongying said, "Every year it changes. It's completely different now than it was before. I don't know what it will be like in a few decades."
A few women were chatting there, while the two younger ones, Lu Chun'e and Liu Liumei, were warming their hands and picking vegetables over there.
Both of them had good personalities and quickly became familiar with each other. When they talked together, Li Laiying, who was only a few years older than them, seemed out of place.
Wen Wan ran back to the bedroom with the bowl to eat.
After eating, I felt a little warmer.
As Lu Dongping collected the dishes, he called out to her, "Come to the kitchen and warm yourself by the fire?"
"No, I have to correct the test questions and calculate the results." Of course, these were all excuses. The key point was that she was embarrassed to go there at the moment.
Lu Dongping knew that she was shy and embarrassed, so he took the bowl out and moved out the brazier from under the bed in the room where he used to live.
The cast iron basin was the one Zhang Hongying used to bake their diapers when they were little. It was so badly placed that you couldn't even tell what it looked like originally.
There was a thick layer of dust, and he swept it with a broom, causing the dust to fly.
Zhang Hongying came out of the room and asked, "What are you doing with this thing?"
"Wanwan said she needs to review the final exam results. It's a bit cold in that room, so I'll get her some fire."
Zhang Hongying squatted down and looked at the rusty brazier. "Why are you so anxious in such a cold weather? Your grandmother brought your sixth sister here just to play with her."
Lu Dongping gave her a puzzled look: "Grandma? When did you and Wang Mingfang get back together?"
Zhang Hongying hissed and glanced into the kitchen. "You're just being quiet, you pig-headed idiot, aren't you? You wouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. We just don't like each other, but there's no deep hatred."
Lu Dongping said nothing.
After cleaning up the brazier, he took the shovel to the kitchen and shoveled out the fire from the fire pit.
Lu Chun'e asked him, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Light a fire in that room. Your sister-in-law is working and her hands are frozen."
Wang Mingfang was so surprised: "I didn't expect this guy to love his wife so much."
Lu Dongping moved the fire into the new house. Wen Wan was not working and was tidying up her sewing basket.
"Needlework?"
"Well, it's snowing, Chun'e's clothes are not ready yet, and you haven't even started making yours." She was busy and nagging all day.
"I'm not in a hurry. I have something to wear."
Then what you wear is different too.
"I have made the buttons, just sew them on." Wen Wan said, and couldn't help yawning.
Lu Dongping sat beside her and touched her head: "Are you still asleep?"
Wen Wan hummed twice: "What time did you go to bed last night?"
"It's quite early!" He only did it twice. If the little girl hadn't been whining and crying and got angry, he would have thought of doing it again.
Good morning, what the hell good morning!
Wen Wan turned around and looked at him: "I'm telling you, Lu Dongping, you, you have to be more restrained, okay?"
Lu Dongping shook his head. "How can you call it moderation to sleep with a woman in your arms and covered with blankets? That's insane!"
Wen Wan was so angry that she took a piece of cloth and hit him: "Don't you have anything to do? There are so many people at home, and we have to slaughter a pig tomorrow. Don't you want to prepare?"
"There's nothing much to prepare. The yellow bucket was soaked yesterday. Mom and my aunt are cooking. We just need to bring back some more water in the afternoon. We've already called everyone we need to. All we need to do tomorrow morning is boil water and cook the pigs."
That's what happened. The next morning, there were voices outside at dawn. Lu Dongping didn't know what time he got up, and Wen Wan didn't know either. The voices outside were followed by the hysterical cry of the New Year Pig.
