Chapter 32 Power Outage and Conflict

Shi Tingyu saw the room suddenly turned dark and screamed subconsciously.

After she reacted, she stopped talking.

It wasn't that she was too scared, it was just too sudden.

This was the first time she encountered a power outage since she came here.

It was also at this time that she remembered that the power supply could not keep up and would often trip.

Just when Shi Tingyu was daydreaming, Lu Weiguo's voice came from far away.

"Wife? Are you okay?"

Lu Weiguo just heard Shi Tingyu's call and hurried over.

It was dark, and his eyes had adapted to the darkness on the way here, and he could see the outline of the bathtub in the room.

Shi Tingyu stayed in the bathtub without moving. It was dark at this time. If he accidentally bumped into something when he came out, it would be really embarrassing.

Lu Weiguo stood at the door, and her face was not clearly visible. Seeing that he was about to come in, Shi Tingyu hurriedly said, "I'm fine. I was just startled by the power outage. I'm fine now."

The room was a little hot. Lu Weiguo took a deep breath and said, "Are you afraid of the dark? I'll go and light a candle for you first."

"Go ahead, I'm not afraid."

Shi Tingyu was really not afraid now, because Lu Weiguo was here. Even if they were not in the same room, she felt very safe.

If she were alone, she might have been a little nervous.

Lu Weiguo hesitated for a moment, and still went to look for candles.

He first took out a kerosene lighter from the drawer, lit it, and quickly found the candles.

The white candle was long and thin. He lit it, and the dark room instantly turned warm and yellow.

When he came to the room where Shi Tingyu was bathing, Lu Weiguo lowered his eyes and did not look inside. Instead, he squatted down and dripped some candle tears on the ground. Before the tears solidified, he pressed the candle on the ground.

The candle stood still, and Lu Weiguo spoke in a low voice, "The candle is lit. Come out when you are done." "

Oh." Shi Tingyu shrank into the bathtub, with only his head exposed.

When Shi Tingyu got dressed and came out, the electricity was not on yet.

The transformer here is shared, and it is at the westernmost end of the road in this row of family courtyards.

If it were normal times. Lu Weiguo was definitely going to check the transformer.

But when he saw Shi Tingyu, he gave up the idea. Although she said she was not afraid, her scream was not fake.

Even if she was not that scared, she must still be a little scared in her heart. If

he didn't go, someone else would naturally go to check the transformer.

Sure enough, after a while, the electricity came back.

The room was lit up again.

Shi Tingyu felt like it was really daytime.

When the candles were lit, there was always a dim and ghostly feeling, but it was different when the electricity came on. When the light came on, it dispelled all the darkness and the sense of security returned.

Seeing that Shi Tingyu's eyebrows relaxed, Lu Weiguo went out to wash up.

He would take a cool shower in the public bathroom in the camp after training, so a simple wash would be enough for him now.

When the two of them lay on the bed, Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu started chatting.

Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Shi Tingyu is going to buy an electric fan.

This is considered a big item nowadays, so he has to tell Lu Weiguo about it.

Lu Weiguo said, "Okay, I'll go with you then."

Electric fans are quite heavy nowadays, so it's difficult for him to carry them back.

Shi Tingyu glanced at him and asked, "You never seem to object to what I want to buy."

Lu Weiguo looked at her with a little indulgence in his eyes, "Everything you buy is necessary. Besides, I can afford it."

Shi Tingyu said, "I will be working in two days, and I will get paid then."

"My wife is amazing." Lu Weiguo praised sincerely.

After testing the man's attitude again, Shi Tingyu turned her head and went to sleep with satisfaction.

In this era, she feels a little insecure.

In special times, her parents were sent down to the countryside, and she had a husband she had only known for a few days.

She admitted that she had a good impression of Lu Weiguo because she felt his sincerity.

But the deep sense of uneasiness in her heart can only be established through trust accumulated over time to establish a healthy marriage relationship.

On the other side, at the Lu family.

As soon as Lu Wenbin got home, he saw his mother with a sullen face and not talking.

"What happened?" He asked in confusion.

Aunt Lu turned around and snorted.

Lu Wenbin felt that something was a bit serious, so he put down his military cap and went into the house to see his son.

He and his wife have been married for five years, and now they have such a child, who is very precious.

At this time, Su Qiaoyue was watching the child sleep on the bed.

"Wife, what happened to our mother?"

Su Qiaoyue opened her eyes and said sarcastically, "What happened? Someone humiliated her."

After he asked about the matter in detail, he found out that his mother actually went to ask the new wife of a battalion commander to help prepare the banquet.

If it was a normal invitation according to the market, it would be fine, but she actually said to give them a red envelope of two yuan?

Isn't this a slap in the face?

At their level, the monthly salary is in three figures, who still cares about the two yuan.

It is difficult to find a red envelope that doubles the amount of money when inviting a chef to prepare a banquet.

Su Qiaoyue said: "You have to talk to your mother. You are a teacher, and your own ideological awareness is not high. How are you going to do ideological work in the future?"

Lu Wenbin is usually a person who can listen to his wife.

His wife is good-looking and is a high school student. He likes her in every way. But since his mother came to take care of her during the confinement period, the conflicts in the family have risen sharply.

He is also a little tired of dealing with it.

"Have you eaten?" Lu Wenbin did not respond and asked instead.

When he came back, he didn't smell any food.

Su Qiaoyue got angry when she talked about this.

"I haven't eaten yet."

"You said your mother was angry outside, at least she cooked the meal, but she just sat there and didn't care about anything. I'm still in confinement."

Lu Wenbin knew that she couldn't get angry during confinement, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll let my little sister help, and we'll eat tonight first."

Su Qiaoyue took a few deep breaths, fearing that the noise would wake up the child.

"Oh, your good sister went to the cafeteria to eat."

Lu Wenchan originally thought that she would help a little bit when she was staying at her eldest brother's place this time, after all, she was still counting on her eldest brother to introduce her to a military officer.

When she came back from work, she saw that her mother didn't cook, so she thought about making it for her.

But Aunt Lu was not happy.

All she could think about were the words Lu Weiguo said today.

- Let your daughter cook, and you can save two dollars.

She got angry all of a sudden, and she would not let her daughter cook no matter what.

She also gave her daughter two dollars and asked her to go to the cafeteria to eat.

The meals in the army cafeteria are now limited.

The daily food allowance for a soldier is fifty-five cents, and the soldier's food allowance cannot be used to feed anyone other than the soldier.

Lu Wenbin felt that he had to talk to his mother, but for now he had to go to the cafeteria to get food and eat tonight's meal first.

Seeing her son come out of the house and leave again, Aunt Lu glanced into the room.

They were talking in low voices just now, so she didn't hear what her daughter-in-law and son said.

Aunt Lu pushed open the door of her son's room and asked Su Qiaoyue, "Jinbao's mother, it's so late, why did you let Binzi go out?"

Su Qiaoyue: ...

Don't you know what he's going to do?

And this title is so unfashionable!
