Chapter 30 The claws finally extended
Her good looks were a widely acknowledged fact within the military compound and her old school. Even with her delicate, soft, and protective beauty, she still attracted the attention of many boys at her age, still young and emotionally inexperienced. In high school, some boys had expressed their admiration for her, but they were always subtle and tactful, passing a small note or writing a poem to express their admiration. At most, they would stop her and stumble over a question: "Wenwan, can we be friends and get to know each other better?" When she rejected them, they would blush and run away.
Unlike Lu Dongping, who is so shameless, he opens his mouth and says, "I want to be your partner and take you home."
After Lu Dongping finished speaking, he was a little scared, afraid that he would scare the person away. He waited for a long time with a trace of anxiety, and then was kicked hard: "Lu Dongping, you stinky hooligan!" Wen Wan had never cursed anyone in her life. The word "stinky hooligan" was already her limit, and she thought it was very unpleasant.
Lu Dongping couldn't help himself, and finally stretched out his claws to pull her hand: "How is it a hooligan? The old man above said that dating without the intention of getting married is a hooligan. I am sincerely going to get married, how can it be called a hooligan? Besides, we are not even close yet?"
Just as he touched that soft hand, Wen Wan fiercely pushed it away and slapped him: "Stay away from me!" Old Wen, your daughter has met a gangster, and he's the kind who knows how to act like a scoundrel. What should you do? /(ćoć)/~~
Stay away? Of course not.
"Wanwan, I really like you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
Wen Wancai didn't believe it: "How long have we known each other, and you like me? What do you like about me? Do you like that I work slowly or that I'm lazy? I'm telling you, Lu Dongping, you can't be so superficial. I treat you as a friend, and we can't even be friends, right?"
Lu Dongping scratched his head: "Is it okay if I like you because you are pretty?"
"Lu Dongping, you are so superficial!"
What the hell? How is that superficial?
"I'm telling you the truth, you're upset again. Which man doesn't like a pretty girl? It's only when they fall in love at first sight that they start thinking about her and want to get closer. You're quite slow. Isn't it because you just came here and haven't adapted? Lazy? I don't think you're lazy. You're just a little slow at work, but you're still learning everything, aren't you?"
Wen Wan huffed, "What if I never adapt? What if I never learn?"
"Then I'll support you! You don't find a partner just to work, and it's not like I can't work myself."
Wen Wan didn't believe him at all.
At one point, she wanted to smash the enamel pot in her hand into his face. What a shameless man who was talking nonsense. She was still thinking, it's rare to meet someone so enthusiastic and willing to help me, but I didn't expect him to have such an idea! She wanted to find a quiet place to live, but she didn't expect that changing places would send her away.
Wen Wan stopped talking and reached out to take the flashlight from his hand: "Give it to me, I don't want you to give it to me!"
"No! If you don't agree, then don't agree. What does it have to do with me giving you a gift? If you don't want to be with me, then just pretend you don't know. It's okay to continue as it was before."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes. "How can you do this?" Lu Dongping, you're really classy.
She simply ignored him and kicked a stone on the road far away. When she was almost at the educated youth point, she said, "Lu Dongping, I won't date you."
"What do you mean? Because I'm from the mountains, you look down on me?"
Wen Wan sighed: "It's not because you are from the mountains that I don't like you, but because I have never thought about dating."
"Why?" Lu Dongping was even more confused.
Wen Wan snatched the kettle from his hand and said angrily, "Because you men are all pigs!"
Not reliable.
Who wouldn't envy Lao Wen's wonderful relationship with her mother? But what happened in the end? Lao Wen concealed the past and wove a beautiful web of lies for her.
With the Xu family's wealth and Xu Ruyin's looks, there was no shortage of options. They found a poor old Wen, and then what? He thought he'd found a treasure, but in fact, it was just someone else's.
Lu Dongping sighed, "Okay, I get it. I'm a pig. If you don't want to talk, then don't talk." It's better than not wanting to talk to him. This is simply because she hasn't figured it out yet. It doesn't matter. Take it slowly. He will eventually make her understand.
"I'm going to the commune tomorrow and won't be able to go up the mountain with you. Be careful on your own and come to our place early in the morning for dinner, okay? Don't let all this nonsense we've talked about stop you from going. Don't let me catch you!"
Wen Wan ignored him, went into the house with the help of the flashlight, and closed the door quickly.
She didn't get the flashlight back. If she had, what would Lu Dongping do with it when he returned?
But she regretted it as soon as she entered the house. She couldn't see anything because there was no light in the house!
After groping for a long time, she finally found the basin where she poured water in the afternoon. She washed herself and climbed onto the bed. Then she found the porcelain pot she brought back from Lu Dongping's house. She took two sips of the sugared water and it tasted sweet.
She sat there for a long moment, stunned, before finally crawling under the covers. She was usually sleepy, but now she was experiencing a rare bout of insomnia. Perhaps because she'd never met someone so bold and direct, Lu Dongping's words kept running through her mind: "I like you, and I want to be with you." Even in her dreams, she kept hearing those words.
Really, how could he be so direct when it comes to dating?
Lu Dongping turned off the flashlight and stood outside the educated youth site for a long time before walking back dejectedly.
He regretted that he shouldn't have been so honest and frank with the young educated youth. Now it was very likely that they would no longer be friends.
The young educated youth was thin-skinned and knew that his thoughts could not possibly remain the same as before.
After not sleeping well the previous night, he got up before dawn the next morning, even earlier than Lu Donglin who was going to school.
I ran to the commune in one breath, but it was not open yet. Then I ran to the militia camp training ground, vented my anger, and then went back to the armed forces department to ask for leave!
After being severely ridiculed, he finally got a week's leave as he wished, and then returned to the team in a hurry.
When we came back, the sun was already high in the sky.
Zhang Hongying was about to lock the door and go to the field to pick grass for the pigs when she saw him and was startled: "Why are you back at this time?"
"Something's up!" Lu Dongping glanced around. "Have you all eaten? Where's Wen Wan? Has she come?"
"No. I don't know what it means. The meal that was cooked was not eaten by them. It was just that little bit, so they asked their father to take care of it." If they hadn't waited for Wen Wan to come for dinner, they would have gone out to work and were delayed until now.
Lu Dongping knew what was going on and asked her for the key. As soon as she left, Lu Dongping ran to the educated youth site.
There were two rooms at the educated youth site, one of which was locked from the outside and the other was not.
The room where Wen Wan lived was not locked.
He immediately felt relieved.
Reaching out and knocking on the door: "Wen Wan!"
Wen Wan heard his voice in a daze and pounded the bed in frustration. She was dreaming again, dreaming of Lu Dongping again. It was so painful!
Her hand slammed against the headboard, and the pain woke her up suddenly. The sun outside shone in through the cracks in the door and windows, making the room bright.
She checked her watch. Almost ten o'clock? (āoā)
No one called her, and she didn't hear the voices of Liu Changqing and the others. How could she have slept until now?
Just as I was about to get up, the door was pushed open with a bang.
She was startled, and Lu Dongping himself was also startled.
He knocked on the door, but why did he just push it open?
"You don't lock the door when you go to bed?"
He hurriedly closed the door again and stood outside it, not daring to move.
Wen Wan quickly put on her sweater and trousers, and answered him as she put on her clothes: "The one who latched the door, I came back late last night, and it was dark and I forgot about it."
She put on her cotton coat and trousers, and shoes, then opened the door. The moment she saw Lu Dongping, she slammed the door shut again. The memories of last night came flooding back, making her face feel as hot as if it was being roasted on fire. It took her a long time to calm down a little, and she reluctantly opened the door again.
She didn't dare to look up at Lu Dongping, but lowered her head to show him the top of her head. Her braids were still the same as yesterday, neither of them loose, but they were rolled up into a fluffy shape.
"Aren't you going to the commune? No?"
Lu Dongping would never tell him that he had taken leave.
"What time do you plan to get up if I go to the commune? Are you skipping breakfast?"
Wen Wan scratched her head embarrassedly: "It was an accident. I slept late last night and fell into a deep sleep this morning. I didn't hear Liu Changqing and the others get up."
Having said that, he took the opportunity to turn around and dilute some water to wash up.
Did you sleep late? You didn't come back too late last night, did you? Lu Dongping's eyes lit up. Was he losing sleep because of what he said? Did he take it to heart?
Wen Wan took a wooden comb to unravel her braids, carefully straightened them out strand by strand, and then braided them again.
Lu Dongping stood outside, leaning against the door and staring blankly.
It turns out that women can look so beautiful when they comb their hair.
He wanted to do this every day, calling her to get up, watching her comb her hair, and then go out together.
He suddenly didn't dare to look any further or think about it, and coughed lightly: "I'm going to go back first. Come over when you're done packing. I left some food for you. You can go out after you eat."
Wen Wan nodded, then realized what was happening belatedly and wanted to say there was no need to wait, but Lu Dongping was no longer at the door.
The hand stroking her hair paused. Was she still going to live with him after all this? Living with him meant seeing him every day, even several times a day, which was a bit strange. But if she didn't live with him and had to go back to the educated youth camp to continue, she felt she couldn't bring herself to talk to Liu Changqing and the others.
He sat there in a daze for a long time, let out a long sigh, took the teacup and kettle given by Lu Dongping, locked the door, and looked like he was ready to die.
We'll have a meal soon, no big deal, she'll pay for it.
She looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was really high in the sky. She had actually slept until now and still had people waiting for her to eat. How much time and work had she wasted?
After Lu Dongping returned home, he brought firewood into the house, added water to the pot, and went to his private plot to cut a cabbage and pull out two garlic sprouts.
Peel and wash the cabbage and throw it into the pot. Then lie under the chopping board and scoop up the lard and put it into the water.
Then he ran to the main room and scooped up half a bowl of white flour. When he was about to leave the house, he went back, went to Zhang Hongying's room, opened the drawer, and took out two eggs.
While there was fire under the pot, he kneaded the dough.
Then crack the eggs into the pan.
He went out to take a look and saw a figure on the other side of the ditch below. He smiled and walked into the house. Seeing the fried eggs in the pot solidify, he rolled out the fist-sized piece of dough, then pinched it into pieces little by little and threw them into the pot.
