Jiang Manyue briefly told Lu Lin how Sister Ma introduced a date to Brother Cheng and what the situation was at Liu Xuemei's family.
Lu Lin was a little surprised, but if Liu Xuemei really had good character, it would be a good thing for Cheng Ge and Binbin.
While cutting vegetables, Jiang Manyue told Lu Lin that Liu Xuemei's family came to cause trouble for Sister Ma that day, but when they found out that Brother Cheng was the head of the group, their expression changed faster than anything else, and she couldn't help laughing as she spoke.
However, Lu Lin didn't have the heart to listen to these things at the moment. He put his arms around Jiang Manyue and hugged her. When he lowered his head, his breath was in her ear.
"You're just busy talking about other people's things. I've been gone for so many days. Have you missed me?"
Jiang Manyue's body stiffened, but she quickly relaxed and leaned into Lu Lin's arms.
"I thought about it."
Jiang Manyue was very honest, so Lu Lin hugged her tighter and asked, "When did you miss me?"
"When I wash dishes, I always think that it would be nice if you were home so I wouldn't have to wash dishes. And when I pick up the kids from school, I also think that it would be nice if you were home so I wouldn't have to run to school four times a day."
Jiang Manyue deliberately teased Lu Lin, saying that she only thought of him when she was working.
Lu Lin didn't respond, but expressed his dissatisfaction with his actions.
Jiang Manyue pushed him in panic, "This is in the kitchen!"
Lu Lin looked up. "So, we can do it in the bedroom?"
Jiang Manyue was embarrassed and angry, "No way! It's broad daylight now!"
Lu Lin suddenly understood, "I see, so we have to wait until night."
Jiang Manyue turned around and pinched his face, "Tell me the truth, how did you become so slick after being away for more than ten days? Who did you learn this from?"
Lu Lin felt wronged. "No, I was just busy completing the mission and coming back. I haven't slept much for several nights. If you don't believe me, ask Xie Anbang."
Jiang Manyue raised her eyes and saw that there was indeed a gray spot under his eyes. She touched it with a bit of heartache.
Lu Lin seized the opportunity to play the victim, "I want to finish the mission early and come back to be with you. I always dream about you at night and can't sleep well."
Jiang Manyue softened her heart and no longer resisted Lu Lin's actions. Her acquiescence made Lu Lin even more aggressive, and a raging fire almost broke out in the small kitchen.
In the end, Jiang Manyue gasped and called for a halt. It was time to pick up the children and they couldn't make trouble at home anymore.
Lu Lin held her tightly and didn't want to let go, but he knew he couldn't continue now, so he put his chin on her shoulder and tried to calm himself down.
"Go and bring Jun'an back. He keeps asking why you haven't come back yet. He will definitely be happy to see you."
Lu Lin was still hesitating and unwilling to leave. Jiang Manyue immediately understood what he meant, and the warmth on her face, which had just faded away, rose again.
"Wait until you've rested enough!"
Jiang Manyue held up the spatula and pushed Lu Lin out of the kitchen. Lu Lin didn't waste any more time, straightened his clothes and went out to pick up the child.
By the time Jiang Manyue finished cooking, Lu Lin had already returned with Lu Jun'an.
Lu Jun'an was indeed very happy to see his uncle. He chattered all the way and didn't stop even when he got home.
In the end, Jiang Manyue shut him up with food, and after the meal she quickly sent him back to his room for a nap.
Lu Lin originally wanted to wash the dishes, but was pushed into the room by Jiang Manyue. He really was sleep-deprived and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
After washing the dishes, Jiang Manyue tiptoed into the room and lay down next to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin seemed to sense it, turned over, stretched out his long arms, and hugged Jiang Manyue directly in his arms.
Jiang Manyue did not struggle to break free. She adjusted herself to a comfortable position in his arms and slept with her neck around his.
When Jiang Manyue woke up, she found that Lu Lin was still sleeping soundly. She didn't have the heart to wake him up, so she just let him sleep.
Lu Lin slept so soundly that he didn't even get up to eat dinner. He slept until the next morning.
Jiang Manyue had already prepared breakfast. When she returned to the room to get something, she found that Lu Lin had woken up. She walked over and pinched his nose.
"You finally woke up? If you didn't know, you would have thought you were in a coma. You slept from yesterday afternoon to this morning."
Although Lu Lin was still a little confused, he reacted quickly and hugged Jiang Manyue in his arms. When he was about to kiss her, he remembered that he had not washed up, so he let her go.
Jiang Manyue looked at him funny and poked him, "You didn't eat dinner last night. Hurry up and wash up and come have breakfast."
After saying that, Jiang Manyue picked up her things and went out. Lu Lin took her toiletries and went out to wash up. She ran into Lu Junan, but this time he didn't laugh at her for being a lazy bum.
"Uncle, Auntie told me that you were too tired from carrying out the mission and didn't sleep at all, so you slept for so long. I won't call you a lazy bum anymore, you are the hero of our family."
Lu Lin smiled, "What great hero? Did your aunt tell you that?"
Lu Jun'an nodded, "Aunt said that in her heart you are the hero of our family. Uncle, you are in my heart too."
Lu Lin rubbed his hair and said, "Okay, I understand. Go eat quickly. I'll take you to school later."
Lu Jun'an responded, climbed onto the dining stool and sat down to start eating.
Others eat slowly. Although Lu Lin hasn't washed up yet, he can still eat faster than Lu Jun'an if he finishes washing up first. So in order not to waste time, Lu Jun'an is the first one to eat alone in the morning.
Lu Lin quickly washed up and finished his breakfast. Lu Jun'an had just finished his breakfast, and the uncle and nephew went out to school together.
After having a simple breakfast, Jiang Manyue was ready to go out to "buy groceries". She happened to meet Sister Ma and Sister Tang who were carrying baskets. They enthusiastically invited her to go shopping with them.
Since Jiang Manyue was going to buy groceries anyway and was invited so warmly, she couldn't refuse and had to go with them.
Sister Ma and Sister Tang started chatting as they walked, and the topic they talked about was still the marriage of Cheng Jianyong and Liu Xuemei.
"Didn't Jianyong and Xuemei get their marriage certificate yesterday? Xuemei's family doesn't know about it, and they're even talking to her about asking for a betrothal gift. Guess how much her family wants?"
Sister Ma asked Sister Tang and Jiang Manyue with a mysterious look on her face. Sister Tang spoke without thinking, "It must be at least 500 yuan. We also agreed to take a three-wheeled taxi that day."
Jiang Manyue also felt that this was about the right amount. These days, most betrothal gifts in the city are only around 40 or 50 yuan, and 100 yuan is considered a lot.
Five hundred yuan seems like an astronomical figure to most people.
Even if both spouses work in the family, their monthly income is only 70 or 80 yuan. Nowadays, every family has more than one child, and the expenses are high, so not much money can be saved throughout the year.
A family with a savings of 500 yuan is considered to be living a good life, and even fewer families can afford a 500 yuan betrothal gift.
No matter how greedy the Liu family is, they wouldn't ask for such a huge sum. Five hundred yuan should be the result of their greed.
