Chapter 63 Love between neighbors
The next morning, Shi Tingyu was awakened by Li Jian's cry.
She looked outside. The sun was shining brightly, and it was obviously late.
She walked out of the room in her slippers.
When she saw the broken door, she remembered what happened last night and began to look for Lu Weiguo.
Finally, she found him in the small vegetable garden in the yard. He was carrying a bucket of water to water the vegetables in the garden.
It was hot today and it hadn't rained for several days, so the vegetables in the garden needed to be watered a lot.
Lu Weiguo stood up after hearing the noise, poured the last bit of water, came to her side and looked at her, "Are you up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Shi Tingyu smiled and shook her head, "No, I'm full of sleep."
As she said that, she stretched out her hand and hung it around his neck, asking him, "Why didn't you go to the camp today?"
Lu Weiguo's hands were stained with some water. He held her with his arms, his hands were weak, and there was an obvious smile on his face: "After the mission, there will be two days off here so that we can adjust our status."
Shi Tingyu was happy. It was okay when she was at work on weekdays, but she was alone at home before, and it was really a bit lonely.
Now that Lu Weiguo is back, her good days have come.
"Breakfast is warming in the pot for you. Can I serve it to you?"
Shi Tingyu smiled with her face wide open, "Okay."
But after waiting for a long time, the man didn't move. She looked at him and asked him why he didn't leave.
Lu Weiguo held her hand tightly and then released it. "You can't leave if you hold it like this."
Shi Tingyu then realized that her hand was still around his neck.
Before Lu Weiguo left for the mission, the two of them almost got together. Although it didn't work out, they kissed each other before leaving.
The polite atmosphere between the two was broken, and Shi Tingyu was now very comfortable holding him.
She retracted her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, you're free."
Lu Weiguo shook his head and laughed, turned around, washed his hands, and went to serve her rice.
Shi Tingyu started to wash up.
Lu Weiguo went to the canteen to get some steamed buns early in the morning, and came back to cook red date porridge and mixed a small cucumber.
The red date porridge has a hint of sweetness and the unique fragrance of red dates, and it tastes much better than white porridge.
Lu Weiguo had already eaten, so he sat across the table and watched her eat, occasionally bringing her a steamed bun and some rice.
After eating and drinking enough, Lu Weiguo cleaned up the dishes neatly.
Shi Tingyu hurriedly called him: "I'll wash the dishes, you still have injuries on your hands."
Lu Weiguo said without turning his head: "This little injury healed overnight."
Shi Tingyu didn't believe what he said, but the man was very stubborn, and the other person's hand was already in the water.
Seeing that she couldn't help much, Shi Tingyu began to think about what to eat for lunch.
Lu Weiguo was back, and she had to reward him well.
So, at noon, Shi Tingyu worked very hard and prepared four dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, which were very appetizing.
She took a bowl and filled it with some sweet and sour pork ribs and handed it to Lu Weiguo.
"Thank you for troubleing Sister Zhang and her family last night. Please send these ribs to the next door as a dish for Sister Zhang and her family."
Lu Weiguo took the bowl and walked out of the main room without saying a word.
Shi Tingyu thought he had left, but she didn't expect that the next moment, she heard Lu Weiguo shouting: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you there?"
She walked out of the door and saw that he was relying on his height of almost 1.9 meters, standing on the common wall between the two houses and calling people from the second battalion commander's house.
Li Jian circled around him excitedly.
Mrs. Zhang agreed, but before she could come out to see, Da Mao, who was on summer vacation, ran out first.
Seeing Lu Weiguo holding a bowl with an alluring aroma, he overcame his fear of Lu Weiguo.
The scary Uncle Lu VS the dishes made by his dear aunt, his aunt's dishes won.
Da Mao summoned up the courage to ask: "Uncle Lu, my mother is in the kitchen and will be here soon."
Lu Weiguo was not in a hurry either, he put the bowl on the wall and waited.
Da Mao licked his lips and asked innocently: "Uncle Lu, what's in your bowl? It smells so good." What
greeted him was not Lu Weiguo's answer, but a loving slap from his mother.
"You little brat, go do your summer homework if you have nothing to do."
Damao instantly wilted.
Damao: If you don't mention homework, we are still mother and son.
Mrs. Zhang doesn't care about him. This naughty boy will go crazy if he is not punished for three days.
Lu Weiguo picked up the bowl and stretched his hand to the yard next door, "Sister-in-law, this is the sweet and sour pork ribs made by my wife. I made some for you to try. It's not much. Don't reject it."
Mrs. Zhang waved her hands repeatedly, "How can this be? The meat is not cheap. You and my sister can eat it. I have fried the vegetables here."
Damao's eager eyes fell into dismay. His mother fried eggplant again today and he didn't want to eat it. He wanted to eat pork ribs.
Lu Weiguo said, "We have made a lot. If we leave it until the evening, we may not be able to eat it. That would be a waste of food."
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang still did not accept it, Lu Weiguo said to Damao, "Da Mao, move a chair over and you can serve it."
Damao's eyes lit up and he was about to move the chair, but Mrs. Zhang, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed him by the collar.
She turned around and smiled at Lu Weiguo, "Okay, Xiao Lu, I'm afraid of you. I'll accept it this time, but you don't have to be so polite next time."
Lu Weiguo could only agree verbally.
Mrs. Zhang said, "Wait a moment, I'll get this bowl out for you."
Then she went into the kitchen.
Lu Weiguo stood for a while, and when Mrs. Zhang came over, the bowl was washed.
Lu Weiguo took the bowl and disappeared behind the wall.
Da Mao stared at the wall in a daze.
Mrs. Zhang asked, "Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Da Mao took a long time to say: "Uncle Lu is so tall. I wish I could be as tall as Uncle Lu when I grow up."
Mrs. Zhang said with a fake smile: "You are dreaming. Your father is 1.74 meters tall, and your mother and I are 1.58 meters tall. Our child will never grow up to be 1.9 meters tall."
Da Mao was stunned for two seconds and burst into tears.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at him and said, "If you cry again, I will eat all the ribs myself."
Da Mao stopped talking immediately, with tears on his face, but said in a mature tone: "It's okay, short people can also be generals."
Mrs. Zhang laughed out loud. She admired his eyes that opened and closed at will.
Shi Tingyu's cooking skills are unquestionable. You can tell by looking at Da Mao's mouth full of oil.
Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to save some for their old Zhang to eat at night, but she was worried that it would be too hot to save it.
Seeing that her son was still unsatisfied, she simply gave him the remaining pieces.
Da Mao's eyes narrowed due to the fragrance, and he was more convinced that the aunt next door was his real aunt.
On the other side of the wall was the Lu family.
Lu Weiguo and his wife were also eating.
Shi Tingyu picked up a lot of dishes for Lu Weiguo and asked, "Did your mission go smoothly this time? Are you injured?"
She couldn't ask about the content of the mission, and he wouldn't answer. She just needed to know whether the mission went smoothly and whether he was injured.
Lu Weiguo said, "No, I'm not injured. This time it was smooth."
The mission this time was to destroy a spy den.
Nanjing was once the base camp of another Kuomintang faction. The former Presidential Palace was located here, so there were many spies here.
When they destroyed the lair, they seemed to have received the news. Although those people received the news late and were caught before they could evacuate, the person who leaked the news to them had no idea.
