Chapter 392: A Little Unrestrained
Chen Wenqin jumped up and reached out to grab the shelf, her heart beating a little faster. This was the first time she was so close to this person.
"Lu Donglin, where are you going?"
Lu Donglin smiled as he pedaled his bicycle. "No, isn't it a little late to ask me where I'm going now? Little girl, where are you on guard? Aren't you afraid that I'm some bad guy, a human trafficker?"
Chen Wenqin was a little nervous, but she was very stubborn: "No, I know you, the uncle of Sister Wen."
Lu Donglin was surprised: "You know my sister-in-law?"
"Yeah. It wasn't far away to begin with. She's a celebrity in our compound. She was famous when she was little, and she's still famous when she grows up."
"How do you become famous?"
Chen Wenqin said: "She is pretty, good at studying, has a nice voice, can sing and dance. Whenever the adults in the compound scold the children, they always compare them to her." She was not spared.
Now, everyone knows that she went to the countryside to find a man from the mountains. Her father arranged a job for him, but he quit. He is a hopeless person, but she indulges him. However, her child with that man is very outstanding. The adults are saying that Wen Shihua can't train a son-in-law, so he probably pinned all his hopes on his grandson. But no matter how well this grandson is trained, he still has a foreign surname. His surname is Lu, not Wen!
Among those who talk about these things, some express regret, while others gloat over the misfortune.
Some people also said that Lu Dongping was lucky, and that his family benefited greatly from his success. He found a partner and brought his younger brothers and sisters with him.
Some of these were things Chen Wenqin had heard occasionally earlier, and some were things she had heard after she met Lu Donglin and went to inquire about him. When it came to Wen Wan and the Lu brothers, most people were disdainful.
Lu Donglin said proudly, "That's right, my sister-in-law is the most outstanding person I have ever met."
Chen Wenqin smiled and asked him, "Do you live with your brother and sister-in-law? Why haven't I seen you recently?"
She pretended to have passed by the Wen family's door many times and had seen Lu Dongping, but had never seen Lu Donglin once.
Lu Donglin said: "I don't live in the compound, I rent a house near Hua University."
"Do you work there?"
"Ah, no, I live over there. As for work, my job is unstable. I'm just a brick in the revolution, moving wherever I'm needed. I run around all day long."
After that, he asked her, "Where are you going? Back to the compound?" He was going back to Tonghua Lane. It was the weekend, and his brother and sister-in-law were both there, so going to the compound wouldn't be on their way. But wouldn't it be bad to leave someone behind along the way?
"It's already this late. I'm not going back to the compound. I'm going to school. Are you busy? Can you take me to the school gate?"
Lu Donglin was really busy, so he refused.
After finding out where Chen Wenqin's school was, he was confused: "Why did you run so far in such a bright sun?"
Chen Wenqin said, "I don't have classes on the weekend, so I'll go to my classmate's house. My classmate lives outside the city."
Lu Donglin was stunned for a moment, and the car shook and returned to normal.
What a coincidence.
"There's a bus stop up ahead. Let me help you stop a car. I have something to do today."
Chen Wenqin pouted quietly: "Okay, then, can I come find you later?"
"What do you want me for?"
"Thank you for sending me off today!"
Lu Donglin glanced back at her and chuckled, thinking that this girl was really interesting: "Really? I haven't even sent you to your destination yet and you still want to thank me? How are you going to thank me?"
"Well, how about you pledge your love to me and let us be a couple?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car wheel turned and hit the concrete platform on the side of the road.
Lu Donglin had never made such a mistake since he learned to ride a bicycle! This was really unexpected. He really didn't expect that Chen Wenqin, a young lady with a good family background, appearance and education, would suddenly say such a thing, especially since they had only met a few times and had no contact with each other. They had never spoken a few words and only knew each other's name.
Why are you suddenly talking about dating?
Are all the girls in this capital so passionate and unrestrained? Or is it that I have grown into a flower that is so popular?
Chen Wenqin had said that in the heat of the moment, without even thinking. But after Lu Donglin's bike hit her, she was fine. She came to her senses, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she took off running. It was so embarrassing, she couldn't face anyone.
She admitted that she had a crush on Lu Donglin. That time, she fell off her bicycle and almost hit Lu Donglin. Not only did he not blame her, he also helped her and sent her back.
Most importantly, he was born with a truly good appearance. No matter how badly the adults said, Chen Wenqin felt that it was undeniable that the two brothers were both handsome men.
She admitted that she was superficial and a bit tempted by appearances. But being tempted by appearances is not exclusive to men. Who wouldn't want to find a partner who is pleasing to the eye?
Don’t adults always say Wen Wan is good and amazing? So, how could Wen Wan’s vision be any worse?
This was the first time in her life that she had paid so much attention to a person, a man. Unlike others who were moved by love without realizing it, she knew exactly what she was thinking.
But she hadn't expected to blurt it out without thinking. She had no idea what the other person would think of her lack of reserve. Panicked and annoyed, she bolted out like a rabbit. A car was coming in the same direction, so she waved it to stop and got in.
After getting in the car, she looked out of the window and saw Lu Donglin still looking at her while holding the bicycle, so she quickly retracted her head.
Lu Donglin stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and did not follow. He shook his head several times before riding his bike back towards Tonghua Lane.
This is really true. There was actually a girl who told him that she wanted to date him. He suspected that the girl had poor eyesight.
When I arrived at Aichang, I was sweating profusely.
As soon as he entered the room, Chen Dongshuang raised her finger and shushed him to speak softly: "Sister Wenwan and Sister Chun'e are asleep."
Lu Donglin nodded subconsciously.
Then he tiptoed to scoop a basin of cold water and took it to the toilet at the back to take a shower and change his clothes.
I went to the store outside and asked Chen Dongshuang: "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."
"You haven't had lunch yet?"
Lu Donglin said pitifully, "I've been eating dry food for another week, and my mouth is blistered."
He was tanned and looked much thinner: "Wait a moment, it's so hot out there, I'll make you a bowl of cold noodles, you can eat it first, and then I can cook lunch."
Lu Donglin then smiled: "Thank you for your help!" It's better to come back. The days of squatting outside are simply not a life for a human being.
Chen Dongshuang waved her hand nonchalantly and went to the backyard.
Wen Wan heard the sound and wanted to open her eyes in a daze, but her eyelids were so heavy as if she had never slept in her life, and she couldn't lift them up.
I turned over in the chair and felt a gentle breeze blowing. It was so comfortable that I turned over and fell asleep again.
When I woke up, the sun had already set. I opened my eyes and saw Lu Dongping sitting next to me reading a book, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan in one hand.
Wen Wan opened her eyes and woke up. There was no one sitting on the chair next to her. "When did you come back?"
"Not long."
"Where's Chun'e?"
"I went back with Donglin. I asked them to go back and wash the vegetables and cook the rice, and then I went back to stir-fry."
"I can actually sleep better than Chun'e."
Lu Dongping closed the book and moved closer to her: "Yeah, that's normal. You've worked hard during this period."
Wen Wan didn't know what she was thinking about, her face suddenly became hot, and she reached out and pinched his face: "So thick!"
Lu Dongping chuckled and reached out to pull her: "Get up and move around, we should go back."
She has to go to work tomorrow and will return to the compound in the evening.
Wen Wan responded and used the strength of his hand to stand up, hissing: "I slept for a long time and I feel uncomfortable. I guess I will have insomnia when I go back tonight."
Lu Dongping looked at her meaningfully: "Insomnia? There shouldn't be a chance of insomnia."
Wen Wan glared at him angrily, said goodbye to Chen Dongshuang, and the two of them left the store one after another.
Lu Chun'e is now older and has a better appetite, so she can eat anything.
When Lu Dongping came back, he bought an old hen and a fish. Lu Donglin came over to clean them up first, and she stewed the hen in a casserole herself.
The family usually gets together on weekends, so the meals are rarely plentiful.
As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled a fragrance.
"Chun'e, have you started?"
Lu Chun'e came out of the house and said, "Let's stew the chicken first. It's an old hen, so it will take a long time to stew."
"Well, go and take a rest. Let your brother do the rest."
"I've been resting all the time. If I don't move, I feel like I'm going to fall apart." He said this and watched Wen Wan and Lu Dongping go into the kitchen, but he didn't follow them in.
Her brother and sister-in-law had a truly close relationship. It had been almost ten years, and it seemed like nothing had changed. Perhaps because they were usually so busy, she saw they seemed even closer than before.
So, she'd better not bother him.
Wen Wan only went to the kitchen to take a look. Lu Chun'e and Lu Donglin had already prepared the dishes, and they just needed to be put into the pot. The hen in the casserole had been stewing for a long time. Wen Wan opened the lid and took a look. It looked almost done, so -
"Dongping, was this chicken just killed? Why does it smell a little off?"
Lu Dongping came over and took a look: "Nothing is wrong! I bought a live chicken when I went out this morning, and I asked Donglin to kill and pluck the feathers after he came back. It can't be stale."
Wen Wan nodded: "Maybe my nose is broken, it smells weird and I feel a little breathless."
"Then don't smell it. Go talk to them in the living room. Everything is ready here and it will be done soon."
Wen Wan didn't say anything polite. She really felt uncomfortable with the smell in the kitchen, so she turned around and walked out.
Lu Donglin was sleeping on the sofa with his legs spread out, and Lu Chun'e was sitting beside him knitting a sweater. As soon as Wen Wan came in, Lu Donglin sat up.
Wenwan:——
"I thought you were asleep!"
Lu Donglin waved his hands: "No matter how sleepy you are, you can't sleep now. It will be night soon!"
Wen Wan sat down on the other side and asked him, "How's it going over there?"
Lu Donglin said, "The main structure will be up in three or four days. Sister-in-law, when can you come over and take a look? I'm strictly following the blueprints to supervise the work, and it seems to be going well."
Wen Wan nodded and said, "Not this week. I'll go over and take a look if I have time next Saturday." The design for this week's autumn clothes has been decided, and it's time to make the pattern. She is really busy.
Ai Shang discussed with Li Laiyu about recruiting two more people, but they haven't found the right ones yet.
Chen Dongshuang is no longer suitable to continue selling clothes at Ai Shang. She is more suitable to assist Wen Wan or Li Lai Yu. It is not impossible for the girl to take charge on her own when they are not around.
