Chapter 119 Lovely Colleagues
The two said goodbye and Ai Xiaoxia went home.
When they arrived at the front door, Lu Jingshen just came out. Ai Xiaoxia walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Jingshen shook his head: "Nothing, just to see if you're back?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled: "I'll tell you about Doctor Feng's emotional issues tonight. Mom is cooking, right? I'll go help."
Lu Jingshen said, "No, there's some food left over from lunch. Jingyuan and Wensong were helping Mom wash the vegetables. I couldn't even help. Come inside quickly. It's cold outside."
"Well, let's stay home today and go back tomorrow morning."
"I thought so too. I even burned the kang in the west room."
As they were talking, they entered the house. The kitchen was filled with steam and fragrance. Ai Xiaoxia couldn't even see anyone. She shouted, "Mom, I'm back," and then went back to the west room with Lu Jingshen.
I don’t come back often now, but Li Shaofen cleans the house regularly and it is very clean.
Ai Xiaoxia dug out some fabrics that were given to her by others when she got married. Many of the colors did not suit her aesthetic taste, so she took them out and asked Li Shaofen to make shirts, underpants, or cotton pants for Li Wensong, otherwise they would be wasted if left for too long.
The family had a happy dinner. After dinner, Lu Lin and his wife came. When Su Changzhu came back from the market in the afternoon, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were not at home, but they heard that his brother and sister-in-law had returned, so they brought Lu Lin back with them in the evening.
When they met at this time, they exchanged a few pleasantries first.
Li Wensong also called Lu Lin and her husband cousin and brother-in-law.
As soon as they sat down, they started chatting.
Lu Lin sighed after hearing what Li Wensong said. When she was a child, Lu Lin often went to her uncle's house. Her aunt was kind to them, but it was a pity that good people did not live long.
When talking about Li Wensong's mother, everyone felt very sad.
Of course, when talking about my current aunt-in-law, everyone feels helpless.
Lu Lin sighed, she hadn't been to her uncle's house for a long time. She didn't dare to go. The two times she went there, she was made restless by her current aunt. In order not to affect her uncle's life, they tried not to go as much as possible, because they all knew that if Yuan Jing was unhappy, she might take it out on Li Wensong.
But they didn't expect that if they didn't go, it would encourage Yuan Jing's arrogance and domineering behavior, making her even more ruthless towards Li Wensong. In the past two years, the beatings have been more severe than before.
But now, the Lu family’s life is better, and they are all able to help Li Wensong.
The house was bustling with activity. People were sitting on the kang, talking, cracking melon seeds, and eating hazelnuts. Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingyuan, and Li Wensong were roasting sweet potatoes by the brazier on the ground.
It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Lu Lin and his wife returned home.
The next morning, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to the city. Before leaving, they made an agreement with Li Wensong, asking him to stay there with peace of mind, and they would come back to pick him up when they found a suitable place. During this time, they wanted him to have a good time here for a few days, after all, he was still a child.
On the way back, Lu Jingshen said to Ai Xiaoxia apologetically, "I made you worry about Wensong's affairs again."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen unhappily and asked, "Why are you being so distant with me? Am I an outsider?"
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia's expression, Lu Jingshen smiled to himself: "That's not what I meant."
"Then let's not talk about that. We're doing well now, so it's not hard to lend a hand. If we lend a hand, we might even change someone's fate. I'm willing to do that. Just consider it a blessing for us, right?"
"You're right. Indeed, when my dad was in the hospital, my mom and I went out to borrow money. I understand how they felt. They were the people who lent me money. I still remember it now. Even if it was just ten dollars, it was a beacon of light for me, allowing me to move forward in the darkness."
"So if we have the ability, we should help those in need."
"Xiaoxia, you are so kind. How could I be so lucky to marry you?"
"I am also lucky to marry a good man."
As they talked, they both laughed. The sunlight shone through the car window onto their bodies, making them feel warm and comfortable.
After arriving in the city, the two went home first because they had too many things. Then Lu Jingshen went to work, and Ai Xiaoxia took out all the rabbit fur and duck feathers she had bought. She didn't dare to touch the duck feathers, otherwise they would fly everywhere and she would have no way to clean them up.
This needs to be wetted, the stems cut off, and washed before use. Ai Xiaoxia also had to recall some experience, that is, her experience in making down quilts with old down jackets in her previous life. Of course, the first time it turned out to be like a duck spirit, covered with hair, but later it was okay after she gained experience.
Just as she was rummaging through the cabinets, someone knocked on the door and she went out to open it.
Ai Xiaoxia remembered this person. She was the girl who asked her for clothing patterns when she went to Lu Jingshen's dormitory. Today, she was still wearing black-framed round glasses, which made her look particularly cute.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm Lin Fangfang, I met you last time, I came to ask you for a favor."
Ai Xiaoxia invited her in and said, "Come in and talk."
Lin Fangfang changed her shoes, went into the house, followed Ai Xiaoxia to the dining table, and sat down.
Ai Xiaoxia poured her a glass of water: "Drink some water, Xiaolin."
Lin Fangfang took a sip of water, then looked into the house and said, "Sister-in-law, your house is so beautifully decorated. You have a different vision."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I was just fiddling around with it when I had some free time." Then she asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"
"I worked overtime on the weekend, so I took a day off today. Mr. Lu was not at home, so I came here. I didn't dare come when Mr. Lu was at home."
"Is Lu Gong so scary?"
Lin Fangfang nervously waved her hands: "No, no, it's just that Engineer Lu is too strict. If you don't do well, you will be criticized."
Ai Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this: "Engineer Lu is just serious, he's not that scary."
"That's for you, sister-in-law. He's very strict with us." Li Fangfang pushed her glasses and said.
Ai Xiaoxia didn't continue talking about this and asked Lin Fangfang: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Fangfang was a little embarrassed: "The person I like will be coming back from another province in a few days, and I want him to come back to pick me up at the station. I went to the department store with my friends to look at clothes a few days ago, but there was nothing particularly eye-catching, so I thought of my sister-in-law."
Ai Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this: "I thought it was a small matter, but this is not a simple matter. Just look in my closet and see if there is anything you like. I can take it to the clothing store and make it according to your size."
Lin Fangfang was so happy: "Sister-in-law, I'll treat you to lunch at noon. I wanted to buy you some fruit, but I thought we were all young people, so I might as well treat you to a meal. I know there's a new store that's very popular. Let's go there early."
Ai Xiaoxia guessed that Lin Fangfang might be talking about her own store, but that was not important. What was important was that she had to have lunch with Lu Jingshen.
So she said, "At noon, Mr. Lu brought me lunch. I didn't tell him in advance, so it would be a waste if he took too much. We can eat whenever we have the chance. Let me show you some clothes first."
