Xu Feiming brought back hot water and took it to the bathroom.
Lu He was still sullen; any movement caused her excruciating pain all over her body, and she would get angry whenever she saw Xu Feiming.
Today and tomorrow are Lunar New Year's Eve, and she wanted to go out to watch the fireworks tonight, but now she can only lie in bed like this.
If I go out, I'm sure I'll be laughed at.
"Let me help you up." Xu Feiming picked Lu He up, and seeing Lu He's expression, he really didn't dare to say anything more.
He took out a piece of clothing and draped it over Lu He's body. Noticing the marks on Lu He's body, Xu Feiming recalled his actions that night and felt like he was not human. He cursed himself for being so inhuman, but that desire had made him lose his mind for a moment, and he only wanted to satisfy himself.
When Lu He arrived at the bathroom, she couldn't even stand up straight enough to take a shower.
Xu Feiming said, "Shall I help you wash?"
Lu He glanced at Xu Feiming. This was all she could do for now; it wasn't like she hadn't seen him before.
While taking a shower, Lu He was completely angry and couldn't remember any of the sweet moments from the previous night.
After taking a shower, Lu He didn't put on comfortable clothes before she felt a little better and the pain subsided.
Sitting on the stool, Xu Feiming opened his lunch.
"Braised pork!" Lu He was overjoyed when she saw the braised pork. The aroma was simply invigorating. The oil from the braised pork would be perfect for mixing with rice.
Xu Feiming knew that Lu He would definitely like braised pork.
"Eat more, this is all for you." Xu Feiming placed the rice in front of Lu He and handed her chopsticks.
Lu He was thinking about food and forgot about her unhappy things.
I took a bite of rice, then a bite of braised pork, and it was absolutely delicious.
Xu Feiming saw Lu He eating and became a little anxious, saying, "It's okay, eat slowly."
While Lu He was eating, Xu Feiming took out his bankbook from his pocket and placed it in front of Lu He.
Lu He looked at the passbook, then at Xu Feiming, her face full of confusion.
"This is my salary, all my savings are here." Xu Feiming placed it in front of Lu He and said, "I was just promoted not long ago. I've been in the army for almost ten years. My salary was very low in the early days, so I didn't save much money. My former squad leader was killed, and a comrade and I agreed to send money to his family every month. We sent ten yuan a month, then twenty yuan. Now that my comrade's son is working, we haven't sent any more money. This is the four thousand yuan I've saved."
Xu Feiming doesn't usually spend money. In recent years, since he no longer needs to send money to his comrades' families, he has been saving up. In addition, he has been promoted quickly and his work has improved a lot in recent years, so he has saved up a lot of money.
Lu He was eating when she looked at the money. She stared at Xu Feiming and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
“We’re getting married, so this money is yours to spend as you please,” Xu Feiming said earnestly.
Lu He looked at the passbook and said, "I don't want it. This is your money, not mine. I don't want it."
Moreover, neither of them is married, so they can't take other people's money.
Upon hearing this, Xu Feiming hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said, "Why can't I take it? What's mine is yours."
Lu He took a small bite of rice and said, "This is your money, it doesn't belong to me. Besides, this money is all that you worked hard to save. I'm with you not to take your money. As long as I don't hold you back, that's enough."
Hearing Lu He say this, Xu Feiming said unhappily, "How can you talk like that? What do you mean by 'as long as you don't hold me back'? We definitely need to rely on each other. We're husband and wife, so you should keep this money."
Seeing that Xu Feiming was still angry, Lu He couldn't help but smile and asked, "I'm with you because you're a good person, from a good family, and your parents won't hold us back. They don't need us to take care of them, and we can help each other. If it weren't for Aunt Yu liking me, we probably wouldn't even be able to get along."
Lu He wasn't insecure; she simply had a clear understanding of herself.
"If you keep saying that, I'll get angry." Xu Feiming didn't like Lu He saying such self-deprecating things.
Lu He also chose to remain silent and obediently ate her meal.
Xu Feiming returned to the previous topic and said, "We're getting married soon, so this money will be our joint property. You can keep it. When we get married, we'll need to prepare the bride price and dowry. Nowadays, it's popular to buy the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a watch, a bicycle, a radio, and a watch) for weddings, and we'll buy them all."
Lu He paused and looked at Xu Feiming.
"Lu He, I'll give you everything you need for a wedding. Don't forget anything. The dressing table, wardrobe, and bed should all be new. The betrothal gifts should also be prepared to the best of our ability." Xu Feiming calculated that with his money, he could easily afford everything needed for the wedding.
"After getting married, we can apply for and wait in line for a house. Once we have our own house, we can move out and have our own home."
Although getting a house was a pipe dream, Xu Feiming was content as long as he could be with Lu He.
Lu He was somewhat moved, put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Fei Ming, then I'll take it. Since you've given me all the money, I'll tell you how much I have."
“No need. Your money is private, and I don’t want to know. Girls should have their own savings, that’s what my mom says,” Xu Feiming interrupted Lu He.
This sentence left Lu He stunned.
“From now on, my salary will be used for household expenses. My normal monthly salary is 141 yuan, plus allowances and subsidies, sometimes it is 150 to 160 yuan. I will keep 10 yuan for myself every month and give the rest to you.”
