Chapter 94 The grudge between Lu Bailing and Zhou Jianghai
After Lu Bailing went to school, Shen Jiale asked about this.
Lu Mingfeng smiled and said, "Don't listen to Bailing's nonsense. Jianghai has no brothers or sisters and lives with Grandma Zhou. When he saw that I had a sister, he was very jealous. I asked him to treat Bailing as a sister."
"Bailing doesn't seem to want him as a brother."
"Jianghai is a good person, but he likes to have a stern face and is very strict. Bailing didn't study well at that time. She had a headache when she saw homework, and Jianghai stared at her, so she didn't like him."
After hearing the brother and sister's story, Shen Jiale felt that this was a pair of happy enemies.
It was a bit inconvenient to ride a bicycle on the snowy day, and Lu Bailing rode a bicycle with difficulty.
On the side of the road, a military green figure was watching Lu Bailing going away.
…
Zhao Meili has been thinking about the man in military uniform since she saw him.
According to Wang Yanhong, he was Grandma Zhou’s grandson Zhou Jianghai, a platoon leader in the army.
Such a man is what all unmarried girls want to marry.
Wang Yanhong said that she could help to make connections.
Zhao Meili did not believe Wang Yanhong. She had just been released and she said she wanted to help her. Who knows what bad things she might have in mind.
But she did not want to give up a person who could help her.
So, like other girls in the village, Zhao Meili wanted to help Grandma Zhou.
However, the firewood room in Grandma Zhou’s house was already filled with firewood by Zhou Jianghai, and the water tank was always full.
She wanted to find an opportunity to meet Zhou Jianghai, but he was never at home.
On this day, Zhao Meili clearly saw Zhou Jianghai going up the mountain, so she followed him, but soon she lost him.
The mountain was covered with snow, and Zhao Meili did not dare to go up the mountain alone, so she had to go back.
After Zhao Meili left, Zhou Jianghai jumped down from a big tree.
...
Lu Bailing came back from school, all dirty, with mud all over her cotton coat.
Shen Jiale took some clothes for her to change: "Did you fall on the road?"
Lu Bailing said as she put on her clothes: "Second sister-in-law, I will not ride a bike to school from tomorrow onwards. The road is uneven and icy, so it is not easy to ride."
"Then can you come back in time for lunch at noon?"
"No, I will bring the food over to the teacher's dormitory and heat it on her stove."
"Okay, hold on for a few more days, the winter vacation is coming soon."
While eating, Lu Mingfeng said that Zhou Jianghai asked him to go up the mountain to catch wild rabbits tomorrow.
Lu Bailing said regretfully: "I won't come back at noon, so I won't be able to eat."
Shen Jiale said to stay for dinner in the evening.
When Lu Bailing came back from school, she saw Zhou Jianghai and was about to leave.
Lu Mingfeng called from behind: "We are lucky today. We caught a wild rabbit and dug out a hibernating snake. Are you sure you don't want to eat them?"
Hearing this, Lu Bailing stopped walking, ran into her room, and stretched her head to call Shen Jiale.
"Second sister-in-law, why is he here again?"
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "I caught the prey. It seems unreasonable to not let me eat it here."
Lu Bailing hugged Shen Jiale's arm and said coquettishly: "Good second sister-in-law, can you send the meal to my room later?"
Shen Jiale tapped her nose: "He is not a tiger. With the second brother and second sister-in-law here, can he still bully you in front of us?"
Lu Bailing pouted: "Anyway, I don't want to eat at the same table with him."
Shen Jiale could only agree.
The rabbit meat was stewed, and Grandma Zhou was alone at home. Shen Jiale said that she would call Grandma Zhou to eat together.
Zhou Jianghai said she would go.
Grandma Zhou was carried over by Zhou Jianghai.
During the meal, Grandma Zhou asked, "Doesn't Bailing live with you? Why is she not here?"
Since the elders had mentioned it, Shen Jiale had to say that Lu Bailing was doing homework in the room and she went in to call her.
"Bailing, Grandma Zhou has called you. You can't eat well in the room alone. Go out to eat."
Lu Bailing had to leave the room reluctantly.
Lu Bailing wanted to sit between her second brother and his wife, but was pushed over by Lu Mingfeng. Just as she was about to sit next to Shen Jiale, she was pulled to sit next to her by Grandma Zhou.
Zhou Jianghai was sitting on the left.
Lu Mingfeng picked up a piece of rabbit meat for Shen Jiale and a piece of snake meat for Lu Bailing.
"Second brother is very kind to you. He knows that you like snake meat. When we went up the mountain, I mentioned it to Jiang Hai. In the middle of winter, he actually found a snake nest."
Lu Bailing carefully picked up the snake meat. It was really delicious.
Food comes first, and everything else has to come second. So much so that Lu Bailing didn't take it to heart when someone touched his left hand.
There were some chili peppers in the meat. Lu Bailing's mouth was dry after eating too much. Just when Lu Bailing was about to get up to pour water, Zhou Jianghai handed him a bowl of water.
Lu Bailing was stunned for a moment, his eyes dodged, and he didn't say anything. He took the bowl and took a sip.
Shen Jiale saw the interaction between the two and had some guesses in his mind.
After the meal, Grandma Zhou didn't rush to leave, and stayed to chat with Shen Jiale.
When Lu Bailing wanted to go into the house to do her homework, Grandma Zhou said, "If Bailing has any questions, she can ask Jiang Hai."
Lu Bailing quickly declined, "Don't bother Brother Jiang Hai. My grades are very good and I don't need tutoring. Besides, I still have my second sister-in-law."
When the grandparents were about to leave, Shen Jiale and Lu Mingfeng came out to see them off. Shen Jiale said, "Girls all want to be cared for."
Zhou Jianghai glanced at Shen Jiale.
Lu Mingfeng asked, "Wife, who are you talking about? I really care about you."
"No one, I just said it casually."
Lu Mingfeng held Shen Jiale's clothes tightly, "It's too cold, let's go in quickly, Grandma, Jiang Hai, you guys walk slowly, we won't see you off."
...
In winter, there is not much to do, and no one will get up too early.
Instead of riding a bike today, Lu Bailing had to get up early. Before daybreak, she had to walk to school.
She thought there would be no one on the road, but she saw someone running.
As soon as she saw his height, Lu Bailing recognized it as Zhou Jianghai.
Lu Bailing walked around to one side, but Zhou Jianghai ran over here.
Zhou Jianghai was holding a wooden board with a rope on it. It was a sled that children in the village often played with in winter.
Putting the board on the snow, Zhou Jianghai said to Lu Bailing: "I'm going to run harder. You sit on the board to help me."
Lu Bailing said with a sullen face: "I'm going to be late for school. I can't help you. Go find someone else."
"Everyone hasn't gotten up yet. For the sake of the snake meat last night, you decide the direction."
"Is it okay to go to school?"
"Sure."
Lu Bailing sat on it reluctantly and pointed in the direction of the school.
"Hold on tight, I'm going to run."
Lu Bailing grabbed the board with both hands, and the board slid quickly under Zhou Jianghai's pull.
Skiing is a favorite of children in winter. Lu Bailing has not had time to play this year because of school. Now that Zhou Jianghai is pulling her to run, she is also shouting happily.
The students in the school saw Lu Bailing coming to school on a sled, and they all ran over to watch.
"I'm here, you go back." Lu Bailing said to Zhou Jianghai.
In fact, Lu Bailing wanted to get off halfway, but Zhou Jianghai didn't stop and sat all the way to school.
