Chapter 303 Some People Should Cry
Lu Chun'e had the key to this side and opened the door directly.
Zhou Mingli followed her into the house carrying things.
"Please sit down first. I'll clean up. I don't know if the stove is lit. I'll boil some water first."
Lu Chun'e said something and went to the kitchen. The stove in the kitchen was basically always on in winter. It was still burning at this moment, and it looked like the coal briquettes had not been changed for long.
Lu Chun'e lifted it up and found that both kettles were full of water.
She went to the living room and said to Zhou Mingli, "Stay here for a while. I want to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative."
"Are you missing anything? I'll go with you."
As Zhou Mingli spoke, he picked up the scarf she had placed on the armrest of the sofa and wrapped it around her neck in circles.
Lu Chun'e had him bandaged so tightly that only his two eyes were exposed, making it difficult for him to breathe.
He reached out and dug around, then said, "I'll go see if there's any meat or vegetables. I'll buy some and stew it."
Since she wanted to go out, Zhou Mingli naturally couldn't wait for her at home alone.
Lu Chun'e locked the gate to the yard, and he followed behind, walking slowly with his hands tucked into his coat. As he walked, he talked to Lu Chun'e: "It's rare to see such heavy snow where you are, right?"
"Yeah, it rains, but it rarely gets to the bottom of it. It just melts away as it rains."
"This is my first winter in the capital. Will you find it hard to get used to it?"
Lu Chun'e said, "It's not bad. I've been here for almost a year now, and I've gradually gotten used to it. However, I still keep thinking about going back. This is the first time in my life that I've been so far away from home for so long. Although my brother and sister-in-law are here, and I'm much better off than other classmates, I still miss home. My parents and my brother are all over there!"
"This is a big city. It's really hot here, and it's really cold here too. It's completely different from where we are. Even in the hottest summer here, it's not too hot inside. You can enjoy the cool breeze under the trees. When it's hottest, you can just soak in the river. Summer doesn't feel that hot anymore."
"It's the same in winter. As long as people are diligent, there will always be enough firewood at home. When the weather gets cold, the fire in the house never goes out."
The two of them had known each other for so long, but Zhou Mingli had never seen her say so much at once.
I really miss home!
As he said that, he walked out of the alley and crossed the road on the snow.
Both of them were covered in white.
"Should have taken an umbrella." Mistake.
Lu Chun'e said, "It's okay, it's not far."
I only go to the department store when I have nothing to do. Most of my daily necessities are purchased from the supply and marketing cooperatives everywhere.
It was cold and there were few people on the streets. The supply and marketing cooperative was even more deserted. You could hear the singing on the radio even when standing at the door.
It was impossible to buy good meat at this time, but Lu Chun'e didn't care and just chopped off a few bones.
Now her brother is the only one in the family who eats fatty meat, and neither she nor her sister-in-law likes it.
As for Zhou Mingli, he is not within her consideration for the time being.
What was rare was that there was still a large piece of tofu left in such a cold day, so she bought it all.
She didn't have to pay or lift a hand to buy anything.
She couldn't compete with Zhou Mingli.
She was also embarrassed to push and tug with others in public.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, no one spoke anymore. The atmosphere was not as harmonious as when we came in.
Zhou Mingli could see that Lu Chun'e was angry because he rushed to pay.
But if you go out with the girl you like and don’t rush to pay the bill, are you still a man?
Lu Chun'e was not actually angry, she was just uncomfortable. She was not used to spending other people's money.
Even if they are in a serious relationship, she can't let the other person spend money all the time. She doesn't want to owe anyone anything, and it always feels awkward.
When they got home and closed the door, Zhou Mingli put his things down before trying to comfort her: "What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"
The slight discomfort Lu Chun'e had felt from the cold wind had long since dissipated.
"No, I'm not unhappy, I'm just not used to other people paying for my purchases. It's a thoughtful gesture when you buy it for me, but it feels weird if you rush to pay for something I want to buy myself." It seemed like he didn't find a partner, but a sucker who had to pay.
Zhou Mingli reached out and hugged the person directly. Lu Chun'e scared him and almost threw the basin in her hand onto his head.
"You, what are you doing?"
Zhou Mingli snorted: "What do you think? I want you to know what we are doing." He felt that he had been too gentlemanly before, so that after such a long time, this girl still clearly distinguished between yours and mine.
"What are you doing? Let go!"
After struggling twice, he finally stepped on it and successfully left a wet mark on Zhou Mingli's shoes.
But it was of no use.
"You scoundrel!"
Zhou Mingli nodded: "Yes, I am a rogue. What's wrong with being a bit of a rogue in pursuit of the one I like?"
It was a snowy day, and Lu Chun'e was dressed a little bulky. She didn't even have time to take off the scarf around her neck when she entered the door. Her cotton coat was also so thick that when they hugged, it felt as if there was a wall between them.
But this did not hinder Zhou Mingli's joy at the moment. His strong heartbeat seemed to be a little faster than usual.
"Chun'e, you have to learn to get used to it. After meeting me, you will no longer be alone. I will be there for you for everything you want to do. I will be there, and I will not stand idly by no matter what happens."
Lu Chun'e was not used to it, and she didn't want to get used to it. She always felt that the kindness of others was not eternal, and that becoming accustomed to and dependent on such kindness was a terrible thing. Sooner or later, she would no longer be herself.
In this world, no one's goodness is unchanging except yourself.
She didn't say anything, and Zhou Mingli didn't know what she was thinking. He just whispered, "We will be together again. My money, my body, and everything I have will be yours, Chun'e. You don't need to get used to other things, but this is a must."
Lu Chun'e realized it belatedly, her face silently getting hot. She reached out and poked him: "Let go. If you keep dawdling, my sister-in-law won't be able to cook the meat until she gets home from school."
Once I hold you, I can't let go easily.
He lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear, greedily enjoying the closeness they finally had after being together for so long: "Hold me for a while longer."
While talking, I accidentally touched the half of her ear exposed outside the scarf, and couldn't help but take a bite of it.
Lu Chun'e hissed, her eyes suddenly widening: "Zhou Mingli, why are you biting me?"
Zhou Mingli let go of his hand, touched his nose angrily and said, "Maybe I was too hungry and couldn't help it."
Lu Chun'e really wanted to throw the basin on his head at this moment. He was talking nonsense. Is she pork? Can she chew it when she's hungry?
I started cooking angrily. It was a bit inconvenient to wear cotton clothes, but I didn't dare to take it off at this moment. After all, being sick is no joke.
I put the scarf in the living room, found the sleeves Wen Wan usually wore and put them on, poured the boiling water in the teapot into the pot, blanched the ribs, and then used the broth to color the ribs.
After she finished, she started to cook rice, in an orderly manner, and even cooked with great seriousness.
Zhou Mingli stood at the door, reluctant to look away.
Watching Lu Chun'e busying around, he seemed to see the days to come. No matter whether it was training or a mission, he would no longer have to return to the dormitory. He would have a home of his own, whether in the army, in the compound, or in Tonghua Lane, anywhere would be fine.
The house will not be pitch dark. There will be lights on waiting for you, and someone will be waiting for you too.
As I thought about it, the sweetness in my heart was so full that it was about to overflow.
However, before he could say anything, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and a gentle voice came from outside: "Dongping, you're back?"
Zhou Mingli turned around and saw Wen Wan, with a head full of snow and a bag in her hand, pushing the door and entering the yard.
Seeing the people in the yard, he was stunned for a moment and blinked his eyes: "Why are you here?"
In the past, Zhou Mingli would have teased her a bit, but today, that was definitely not the case: "Chun'e and I came here together."
Wen Wan looked at him twice again and chuckled, which made Zhou Mingli feel a little uneasy.
Zhou Mingli thought she was going to ask something, but she didn't ask anything.
Lu Chun'e came out of the kitchen and called Wen Wan, "Sister-in-law, you're out of school!"
Wen Wan handed her the pocket in her hand: "What do you mean by school? It's over a long time ago. I didn't go to the elective class in the afternoon, so I went to the Medical University to look for you. You haven't been home for a long time, so I went to check. I happened to make a cotton-padded jacket and sent it to you, but I couldn't find you."
Lu Chun'e was busy helping her brush off the snow on her body. She felt so guilty that she glanced at Zhou Mingli subconsciously: "I didn't know you were going there, otherwise I would definitely not run around and come back with you." She hadn't been home for several days. On the one hand, her homework was heavy, and on the other hand, her free time was occupied by others.
I felt so guilty thinking that my sister-in-law came to visit me at the Medical University in such heavy snow and brought me some clothes but was disappointed.
Wen Wan laughed: "What are you talking about? You are already such a grown-up, you must have your own things to do. I didn't know you were coming back today. You should know that I am waiting for you at home with a hot water bottle."
As he said that, he invited her and Zhou Mingli into the house.
Then he took off his outer coat and changed into a vest, and he immediately felt lighter.
"Sister-in-law, don't take off your clothes as soon as you come back, or you'll catch a cold."
Wen Wan said, "It's okay. It's much warmer inside than outside. Wearing too much makes it difficult to work. As long as you're warm, there won't be any problems." Then she went into the kitchen and asked, "Is the meal ready?"
After saying that, he laughed before Lu Chun'e could speak: "It's true. Whoever marries our Chun'e will have a blessing that can only be obtained after several lifetimes."
"Sister-in-law!" Lu Chun'e said embarrassedly, "I just cooked a meal. If you marry my brother, that would be the blessing he has earned through many lifetimes."
Wen Wan laughed out loud: "Oh, you're so sweet. I want to keep you as an old maid to accompany me. How about not getting married?"
Lu Chun'e nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then laughed until her stomach hurt: "You, you really are so honest. If this were true, some people would cry."
Then he changed the subject: "Are you and Zhou Mingli dating?"
