"I'm so tired!" Shen Qiaoyue felt like her body didn't belong to her anymore. She had only walked a short distance and she was already exhausted.
After Lu He returned, she took all the things her brother and sister-in-law had bought for her to her room. Looking at these new things, they were really beautiful.
The young couple bought gloves, coats, and some other daily necessities.
Today, including the movie tickets, I spent a total of thirty yuan on some New Year's goods, candies, and cookies.
When Lu Chen returned, he poured hot water for Shen Qiaoyue.
"Lu He, come out and have some hot water to warm yourself up," Lu Chen said to Lu He in the room.
Then he brought the hot water to Shen Qiaoyue and blew on it to cool it down.
"Take this, be careful it's hot," Lu Chen gently reminded him.
Lu He came out of the house, took a water glass, and sat down on a small sofa.
"Brother, sister-in-law, does that Brother Qianli like Sister Liu Xinlan?" Lu He asked the question that had been bothering her the most.
Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyue exchanged a glance.
"You can still understand this?" Shen Qiaoyue asked curiously.
Even a minor like me understood this, so how could Liu Xinlan not understand it?
“Even a child can see that when Brother Qianli stares at Sister Xinlan, the way he looks at her is different from how he looks at me.” Lu He had actually noticed it yesterday. “Yesterday, when Brother Qianli was eating, he wanted to ask Sister Xinlan out, but Sister Xinlan refused. Today, when we went to see a movie together, Brother Qianli came along again. He just likes Sister Xinlan.”
After listening to Lu He's analysis, Lu Chen said, "You're a girl, don't talk nonsense."
Shen Qiaoyue: "..." What the hell!
Lu He pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Isn’t this normal? Lu He isn’t wrong, you as the older brother!” Shen Qiaoyue glanced at Lu Chen speechlessly.
Lu Chen added, "Nowadays, underage girls can't talk about love and affection. They can just talk about it at home, but they shouldn't be too ostentatious when they go out."
Shen Qiaoyue was helpless!
Nowadays, one needs to be careful with what one says.
Lu He nodded obediently.
Lu Chen explained further: "Dr. Liu's previous teacher was a foreigner. She is also a doctor here. She was protected by the leader. It's not that she doesn't understand, but she doesn't want to implicate Qianli."
Shen Qiaoyue had never thought of this relationship.
It seems that their relationship was destined to end without a trace.
Lu He didn't say anything more.
After drinking some hot water, I went back to my room to continue doing my homework.
Shen Qiaoyue came over with a ruler and saw Lu He writing intently with his head down.
"Lu He, are you reading?"
"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Lu He was reading intently, and quickly closed the book.
"Sister-in-law, I have nothing to do, so I'll take your measurements and make you two dresses." When I got married, my parents gave me over thirty bolts of fabric as part of my dowry.
"Sister-in-law, no need, I have clothes to wear. You and my brother have already bought me a lot of things." Lu He felt embarrassed to ask her sister-in-law to do anything more. She had been here for two days and was doing much better than she had back in her hometown.
I feel that it shouldn't always be my older brother and sister-in-law who make the sacrifices.
“You’ve just arrived, so we’ve mostly bought you coats. You don’t have many underwear pieces, and if they don’t dry after washing, you’ll have nothing to wear.” Shen Qiaoyue wouldn’t give Lu He a reason to refuse.
Although Lu He had opened up a lot, she was still a little reserved.
Shen Qiaoyue walked over, took Lu He's measurements, and said, "Just stay here and don't feel pressured."
Lu He nodded obediently.
Actually, her eyes had already started to redden.
It would be a little awkward if I cried.
Shen Qiaoyue quickly finished taking the measurements and asked Lu He, "What color fabric do you like? Why don't you come over and choose?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine with any fabric, I'm not picky."
Lu He was indeed not picky; back home, she always wore patched clothes.
"Alright then."
Shen Qiaoyue thought that pink and light blue fabrics would also be nice.
After arriving at the restaurant, Lu Chen went to the cafeteria to get his food.
On his way back, Lu Chen saw Commander Liu's wife, Wen Ru, and greeted her, "Auntie, are you off work?"
"Lu Chen, are you getting food for your sister and Qiaoyue?" Wen Ru teased as she looked at the food Lu Chen had prepared. "You're a caring person."
"It's alright, mainly because they're all at home and have their own things to do. The kitchen was just repaired, so it's not usable yet; they can only eat at the cafeteria," Lu Chen explained.
"Your name is Lu Chen." Wen Ruoyan, who was beside her, excitedly stepped forward to greet him, and even tugged at the hem of her clothes.
Lu Chen looked at Wen Ruoyan with a puzzled expression, then blankly replied, "It's me," before turning to Wen Ru.
"This is my niece, she works at a hospital in the city, her name is Wen Ruoyan." Wen Ru saw her niece's expression and understood her intention, so she quickly pulled Wen Ruoyan back.
“Comrade Lu Chen, we met at the hospital yesterday. I almost fell, and you helped me up. Do you remember?” Wen Ruoyan excitedly recounted what happened at the hospital last night.
Lu Chen thought back for a moment, and it seemed like he did.
"I remember." Lu Chen squeezed out two words lightly, then explained, "It's mainly because we almost knocked each other over. Qianli and I didn't mean to. We apologize for the offense."
At this point, physical intimacy would be criticized, and Lu Chen felt he was causing trouble for others, so he offered an explanation.
"It's nothing." Wen Ruoyan smiled, a little excited, and waved her hand.
Lu Chen said, "Auntie, Comrade Wen, my sister and my husband are waiting for me at home, so I'll head back first."
Wen Ruoyan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.
Wen Ru said, "Yes, go back and take good care of Qiaoyue."
