Chapter 190 I Can Also Turn Against You
Wen Wan just took half of it and put it there, and kept the rest for herself and didn't care about it anymore.
After returning to the room, closing the doors and windows and going to make the bed, Wen Wan called out to Lu Dongping: "Mom, do you think I'm spending money recklessly?" She thought she was stupid and couldn't hear, and even coughed to signal.
"No, she's just used to being frugal. She'd rather break even a penny into pieces, and she treats everyone the same." It's true that she's extravagant. No one in the entire Xihe Brigade can match her spending speed. But she knew this before they even started dating. It's not like she can't do anything just because she's married. Besides, the money she spends isn't all on herself. Not to mention the side dishes, the meat, the cloth, and so on, just today, she bought six pig's trotters. She never thought of eating alone.
People in the mountains don't care about pig's trotters with only a layer of skin, so they think it's expensive. But my wife likes it, and it's not like she can't afford the few cents, so there's no need to worry about it.
"After all this talk, I still feel like I wasted money."
Wen Wan made the bed and climbed up, sitting on it and hugging her knees. She said, "It's just skin, no fat and no meat. If I had known earlier, I would have bought one and eaten it all by myself."
Lu Dongping came over, took off his shoes, and pulled the quilt over her: "Take off your clothes and cover yourself. Your feet are getting cold."
Wen Wan moved inside, took off her cotton jacket, cotton pants and sweater, and snuggled into the quilt in her autumn clothes without saying a word.
Lu Dongping sighed: "Are you angry already?"
As he said that, he took off his clothes and went in.
Wenwan turned over and faced away from him.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "Are you really angry? She didn't say anything. Even if she did, I'm still here. You're living with me, so why would you bother with her so much?"
As he said this, he sniffed and said, "What a sweet-smelling little girl. It will definitely smell even better if I bite it." Then he gently bit her earlobe.
Wen Wan shuddered slightly: "Lu Dongping, what are you doing? I'm not a pig's hoof."
Lu Dongping laughed out loud: "That's definitely not the case. How can there be such a beautiful pig's trotter?"
Wen Wan kicked him back: "It's annoying! I'm telling you, I hate it most when other people control me, telling me I have to do this or that, and can't do this or that. If they really treat me like that, I will really get angry."
Lu Dongping took the opportunity to clamp her feet and squeezed her gently: "Okay, no matter what, you can do whatever you want."
As he said that, he turned her over and lowered his head to touch her nose: "Little girl, you may be small but you have a big temper."
Wen Wan snorted: "Let you know that I am not easy to bully."
"Okay, you're not easy to bully. I don't want to bully you either, just bully me." As he said that, he took a sip.
This is a little devil, so addictive that you can never get enough of it.
There was a cold wind outside, but it was warm inside the house.
Just as the sky was getting light, the sound of Lu Mingjiang's heavy footsteps could be heard outside. Lu Dongping opened his eyes and saw the person in his arms entwined with him like a vine. One arm was wrapped around his arm, the other hand was still tugging at his autumn shirt, and both legs were clinging to his legs like climbing a tree.
As soon as he moved, the person in his arms moved as well. He simply gave up the idea of getting up at this moment, reached out and grabbed the hand that was pulling at his clothes, and gently pulled it down.
Do something bad, then close your eyes and pretend to be asleep.
After pretending to be asleep, he actually fell asleep again.
When the room was completely bright, Zhang Hongying's voice rang out from outside: "Dongping hasn't woken up yet?"
Wen Wan woke up suddenly and pulled her hands subconsciously, not noticing anything wrong. Then she heard the man hissing, and then she reacted. She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly let go.
It feels so incredible. How can I sleep with my head pulled up? It's really terrible.
She took a quick look and saw that Lu Dongping seemed to be still asleep. She breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't awake. Fortunately, she woke up first, otherwise it would be too embarrassing!
He sat up slowly, reached out to take the sweater and put it on. Lu Dongping then moved and turned over, his whole body shaking. Thinking about Wen Wan's reaction when she just woke up, it was really funny. He couldn't help but had to hold it back.
Wen Wan reached out and poked him: "Why are you sleeping so late today? Mom is outside asking about you."
Lu Dongping pretended to yawn, turned over again, reached out and pulled her into the quilt, saying, "It's warm inside, I don't want to move."
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm not going to sleep anymore. Everyone else is up. It would be embarrassing if we were the only ones still asleep."
Lu Dongping rubbed her twice before letting go: "Get up, get up, get up!"
He got dressed and got up quickly. Wen Wan made the bed and he went straight outside.
It's a nice day, but it's terribly cold.
He took two hissing breaths of cold air, then exhaled hot air in a puff of white smoke. The chimney above the kitchen was already emitting plumes of smoke. When he entered the kitchen, Zhang Hongying called out to him, "Didn't you ask Secretary Zhao to write a couplet? I'll get you some glue to paste it up."
"Don't worry, I'll wash my face first."
There is water in the kettle in the house. In this weather, there is no need to add cold water. Throw the hard towel frozen on the bamboo pole into the basin. It will become soft after being rinsed with hot water. This way, it is just right for washing your face.
After washing up, he called Lu Donglin to help him put up the couplets. Wen Wan combed her hair in the house and tidied herself up before leaving. The couplets on both sides of the door had already been put up.
"This New Year, we have to put up a pair of these to make it look presentable."
Wen Wan gestured to Zhang Hongying and said, "I don't have a brush, otherwise I could write two Chinese characters for 'Fu' on red paper and hang them up."
Zhang Hongying asked her, "Can you write couplets?"
Wen Wan shook her head: "No, no, I can draw the word 'Fu'." She has also practiced calligraphy, but her handwriting is like her personality, a little delicate and not suitable for writing couplets. But she can write the word 'Fu', and she can write several kinds.
Before Zhang Hongying could say anything else, Lu Donglin ran out of the house excitedly, holding two particularly colorful chicken feather shuttlecocks in his hands: "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year!"
Wen Wan's eyes lit up: "You really did it! It looks so beautiful, so amazing!"
Lu Donglin was so happy when he was praised that he almost flew up: "What's so great about this? It's a piece of cake." Then he took the other one and went to the kitchen: "Sister, here are your shuttlecocks. One for you and your sister-in-law."
Lu Chun'e took it, put it in her pocket and said, "You gave my sister-in-law something, didn't you? I haven't given her anything yet." Lu Donglin had caught a little rabbit before, and now he had a chicken feather shuttlecock. Lu Chun'e wondered what she could do. After thinking it over, she couldn't come up with anything. She had no money, no good ideas, and nothing to show for it.
"Weren't you sewing shoe soles for the first half of the year? Didn't you say you were going to make a pair of shoes for your sister-in-law? Are you still not done with them?"
Lu Chun'e added firewood to the stove and said, "The soles are ready, but the uppers are not yet made. We don't have the right cloth."
"What kind of cloth do you need? Go ask mom for it. If that doesn't work, go ask brother. He knows you're making shoes for your sister-in-law, so he'll definitely find a way for you."
"That makes sense. I'll go ask him later." Then he reminded Lu Donglin: "It's not done yet. Keep it a secret and don't make a fuss."
"What are you talking about? Am I that loudmouth?"
Lu Chun’e: ——That’s true.
No matter how busy you are, you should take a break on the 30th or 1st of the lunar month.
The pot was steaming, and the family sat by the fire pit. Zhang Hongying stood behind the stove, stirring the pot and asking Lu Dongping, "When did we start going to the commune in the spring this year?"
"Second grade, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hongying asked, "Are you going for a day on the second day of the Lunar New Year? I was thinking, since you and Wanwan are getting married, I should take you to Liangdaoya to visit your grandparents and let Wanwan recognize her relatives."
Lu Dongping sat by the fire pit and turned to look at her: "I guess you can't go. I'm on duty from the second to the fifth day of the New Year. I have a day off on the sixth day and then I have to continue."
Zhang Hongying said, "That's all I can do. If that doesn't work, I can just take Wanwan back with me."
"She doesn't have time either. She has arranged the program, so she only has two days off on the first day of the 30th lunar month. On the second day, she has to go to the commune and join the people performing the community fire. She arranged the program, so she has to follow it throughout and there can't be any mistakes."
Zhang Hongying frowned: "Why are you all so busy?"
Lu Dongping smiled and said, "You think it's so easy to get subsidies? Not only do you need the ability and opportunities, but you also need to work hard. Without hard work, how can you get rewards?"
Wen Wan said nothing, but looked up at Lu Dongping, not understanding why he lied to Zhang Hongying. Lu Dongping blinked at her and ended the conversation.
After dinner, Lu Dongping pulled her out and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the mountains."
"Brother, I'm going too!" Lu Donglin threw down his bowl and followed him out.
How could Lu Dongping take him with him? "Go, go, go, go up the mountain to find Lu Dongfu. Your sister-in-law and I have something to do. You are so old and still chasing me on the road. What a troublesome child."
Lu Donglin didn't believe that he was following behind secretly.
Lu Dongping knew it but pretended not to see it.
I didn't walk far before I reached the beam behind and walked up along the path.
There were neither wildflowers nor wild fruits in the forest at this time of year. It was probably the most boring time of year. However, Wen Wan saw a few green clumps on the roadside that looked like they were blooming. She leaned in to take a look and asked, "Is this an orchid?" Her second uncle loved orchids and had several pots of them at home. The color of the flowers seemed different from this one, but they all looked the same.
"Orchid flowers are all over the mountain. If you like them, go back and dig some up and plant them at your door."
Wen Wan stood up and clapped her hands, saying, "No, no, I'm just a common person. I like bright flowers. I can't appreciate such noble things."
"Okay, then. When spring arrives in March or April, the mountains will be covered with flowers. Take a look at which ones you like and I'll bring them back and plant them in front of your house. We'll plant them in front of and behind the house. Then you can see what you like without having to go out or up the mountain."
As he spoke, he took her hand and put it in his pocket: "Why is it so cold? Are you cold?"
Wen Wan shook her head: "It's not cold, the sun is out, and I'm sweating from climbing!" After that, she followed him up slowly. She didn't ask where he was going, but brought up something she hadn't asked at home: "Where did mother say she was taking us? Was it to your mother's house? I'm only busy on the 2nd, why did you lie to her?"
