Chapter 29 I Want to Date You
But she still pretended to be polite: "Uncle, isn't that too little? Are you at a disadvantage?"
Lu Dongping sneered at the side: "With your cat-like appetite, you're the one who has to suffer."
After saying that, Lu Mingjiang glared at him fiercely.
Lu Mingjiang said, "You won't suffer any loss. No one can say that this money is wrong. Dongping is right. You only eat so little. If you don't eat it, we will cook it the same way. If you eat it, we will cook it the same way. We won't take advantage of you, a female comrade. But since you have asked for rations and money and have to bear this name, you won't suffer any loss."
Wen Wan nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then tomorrow when Lu Dongping is free, please help me get some food and see how much I have. Besides food, I'll give you money and tickets if you don't have enough."
Lu Mingjiang's calculation indeed did not ask her for much. Earlier, when Liu Changqing and others came to the team and ate at the homes of members, they needed one dime and two taels of food coupons for a meal, and they still couldn't get enough to eat. It was really not even as good as pig food.
Lu Mingjiang was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others, especially since this was what his son liked.
Lu Donglin ran out after finishing his meal and disappeared. Wen Wan was sitting by the fire, warming herself by the fire, and had just finished talking to Lu Mingjiang about living together when footsteps were heard outside. Zhang Hongying looked outside and Gao Xiulan's voice rang out.
"That brat Donglin said Wen Wan came to our house, but I didn't believe it. Turns out it's true!"
Lu Chun'e called out, "Auntie, come and warm yourself by the fire."
Zhang Hongying also answered, "Yes, she came home. Dongping said that she was the only girl in the educated youth camp. She came from a big city and couldn't even walk steadily on the mountain roads, let alone carry firewood. She didn't know how to cook either, so they just let her come to share the meal at home so she doesn't have to worry about cooking or firewood. She can have a good rest for a few days at the end of the year and work hard at the beginning of the new year."
Gao Xiulan smiled and said, "That's fine!"
Lu Dongping shouted, "Auntie!"
Lu Mingjiang pulled a chair over and said, "Sister-in-law, sit down!"
Wen Wan felt a little uneasy when there was suddenly someone there. She stood up and said, "Aunt!" After greeting her, she glanced at Lu Dongping and said, "It's getting late. I'm going back now. You should get some rest too."
Lu Dongping said, "Wait a little longer. I'll fill your water bottle once the water boils and take you home."
"That's right, it's still early!" Gao Xiulan took over the conversation: "Why are you leaving as soon as I get here? Am I a cannibal?"
Wen Wan smiled and said, "No, it's late."
Gao Xiulan was always cheerful: "Such a good and pretty girl, how could your family bear to let you run so far to our mountain?"
Wen Wan said: "Respond to the call and support rural construction! We young people must be aware, be able to endure hardships, and not be afraid of difficulties and face them head-on." The slogan was shouted with confidence.
Lu Dongping pursed his lips to hold back his laughter and watched her talking nonsense seriously while saying one thing and thinking another.
I don’t know which one is crying on the way home.
Those who don't know her would really think she is very conscious and hardworking.
Gao Xiulan didn't know and sighed, "You young people, you don't know how delicious steamed buns are until you suffer a little. You don't know how good your family is until you suffer a little outside." After saying that, she casually asked, "Where are you from?"
"From the capital."
Gao Xiufang sighed, "That's a truly big city. At your age, you should be in school, right? Graduated? Junior high or high school?"
Wen Wan said: "High school, just graduated."
She had originally planned to join the art troupe after graduation, but her mind changed after Xu Ruyin passed away. She didn't want to go to the art troupe. She hated everything green, even olive green was green.
Gao Xiulan's eyes changed when she looked at her. High school students? There are no high school students in Lujiazui yet. Among the educated youth who came here before, Liu Changqing is said to have attended high school, and the rest have only junior high school education, and they are all very capable.
That's the daughter-in-law of Accountant Liu. She was only in junior high school. The Liu family was so proud of it, saying they had a daughter-in-law from the city who was well-educated. Fortunately, she didn't have a tail, otherwise it would have been sticking up to the sky.
She thought Lu Dongping was a really good guy. She had introduced several guys to her but none of them suited her taste. This guy she chose was not only good-looking, but also from a big city and a high school student.
As for whether they are worthy of each other, Gao Xiulan feels there is still some hope.
Lu Dong is not a bad person. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is tall and strong, and is hardworking. He is a man who can support a family. How can he not be worthy of her?
What's wrong with coming from big cities? Once they go to the countryside, the food supply relationship is transferred over and they become people from Lujiazui.
As for whether he could impress others and get them to agree to date him, that would depend on whether Lu Dongping was smart and thick-skinned enough.
A virtuous woman is afraid of being clingy with a man. As long as you work hard, you can grind a stick into a needle!
After talking for a while, the water in the pot boiled. Lu Chun'e filled the kettle with water, and Lu Dongping got up and went into the house to get a brand new enamel pot.
Flowers were printed on the snow-white teacup, and the words "Serve the People" were written in big red letters on it.
He boiled some water and went out again. When he came back, he called Wen Wan, "Okay, I'll take you home."
Wen Wan stood up and said, "I can go back by myself. I have a flashlight."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Lu Mingjiang and the others, "Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving now. I'll have to trouble you again tomorrow. Aunt Gao, I'm going back now. I'll come chat with you another day."
Gao Xiulan smiled and said, "Go ahead, let Dongping take you back. The road is not easy to walk on at night."
Lu Dongping carried the kettle and sent her out, then pressed the teacup into her hand: "Warm your hands with it. It contains sugared water. When you get home later, it won't burn your mouth and you can drink it."
After saying that, he added, "The teacup is new. I just scalded it."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, and found a teacup in her hand. The flashlight was taken away by Lu Dongping.
"You go ahead, I'll give you a flashlight."
"Oh!" It was a bit cold outside, and Wen Wan shrank her neck.
It was dark outside, and she thought it would be better not to be polite with Lu Dongping. Even with a flashlight, she might not dare to leave at this time.
Lu Dongping gave her a flashlight and she walked in front. The cold wind blew, making the trees beside her sway.
Wen Wan walked away and couldn't help but look back: "Lu Dongping, are you so nice to everyone or just to me?"
Lu Dongping raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask?"
Wen Wan said: "Just asking casually, I just think you are very nice and treat me very well."
If he is so nice to everyone, it means that he is a good person, kind-hearted and helpful.
It would be a bit troublesome if he was only so nice to me.
Lu Dongping didn't answer her directly, but asked her instead: "So do you think I'm the kind of person who is so warm and kind to everyone I meet, or am I the kind of person who is only kind to you?"
Wen Wan rolled her eyes: "Where's the tongue twister? If I want to know, why would I ask you?"
Lu Dongping quickened his pace, closing the distance between him and her, lowering his voice. "In the early days, my reputation in the team wasn't very good. It was only in the past two years since I went to the commune's armed forces department that it gradually improved. They didn't dare to say it outwardly, but they still talked about me behind my back. When I was a child, I was very naughty. I would break the collective corn, touch other people's eggs, climb onto people's roofs to pick plums and crush them. I did everything. Even when my father beat me, I didn't cry. I would run away when it hurt, and come back when I was hungry."
"Anyway, I'm just a mixed bag. No one in the team likes me. Now they seem to be polite to me, partly because of my uncle's face, and partly because I'm in the commune."
"Others don't like me, and I don't like them either. What I told you, am I this nice to everyone? That's definitely not the case." As he spoke, he leaned forward a little and unexpectedly blew a breath of hot air into Wen Wan's ear: "I'm only this nice to you."
Wen Wan was startled by him and almost stepped on empty air, but he quickly caught her.
“Don’t get excited!”
Wen Wan:...Who the fuck is excited?
She rudely slapped his hand away and stood there, refusing to move: "Why are you being nice to me?"
Lu Dongping leaned forward slightly: "What do you think?"
Wen Wan's heartbeat suddenly became irregular, and she turned and ran.
What the hell, she shouldn't have asked. Isn't it good for someone to help you? Isn't it good for you? Why does she have to ask so clearly? Do you owe it to her?
Lu Dongping chuckled and ran after him. "Why are you running? Don't you even ask questions clearly?" He had thought about so much in just a moment.
When they reached the creek, he caught the man.
It was too dark and the flashlight could only reach a limited area, so Wen Wan couldn't run fast or far.
My heart was pounding, and I felt irregular and uncomfortable for no reason.
Lu Dongping grabbed her and said with a joking smile: "Why are you running? I will eat people? Can you see the road?"
Wen Wan grunted twice and kicked him when she couldn't break free.
He didn't move, letting her run wild with him like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Are you angry? Isn't that what you wanted to ask me?" Lu Dongping unconsciously licked his dry lips: "I didn't intend to tell you so soon, but since you asked, I must tell you."
Wen Wan subconsciously felt like she had stirred up a hornet's nest. He definitely couldn't say anything good. She covered her ears and shook her head: "I don't want to listen, don't say anything, just shut up!"
It would be strange if Lu Dongping could keep his mouth shut.
"I'm not being nice to you yet. I'll be even nicer to you in the future. I'm just like that. I don't get up early unless there's something to gain. Not everyone can make me treat her well. I'm being nice to you because I like you, I want to be your partner, and I want to bring you back to my home!"
When Wen Wan asked him, he was hesitating whether he should lie first. He had just coaxed someone to come to his house for dinner in the name of sharing a meal. What if he exposed the lie and the person didn't come?
The next moment he rejected this idea.
He just likes her, and if he likes her, then he likes her. He has to be honest and open about it, so he can't lie. He also doesn't want to lie to Wen Wan.
She asked then she said.
As for whether she can accept it or not, it doesn’t matter. If she doesn’t accept it, just try harder!
Covering her ears was useless. Lu Dongping's words were still clearly heard by Wen Wan. There was a loud bang in her head, like a thunder explosion, which made her dizzy and her mind went blank.
