Captain Lu was so startled that he frightened his wife who was sleeping soundly next to him.
She slapped Captain Lu fiercely and said, "What are you doing up at night?"
Captain Lu looked at the clock in the room and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
He sighed silently and said, "Shouldn't I go to Lu Zhiye's house today to tell him about going to work?
I had a few drinks and forgot about it. I have to go again.
We have to go to the cannery early tomorrow morning!"
Captain Lu's wife was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She waved her hands impatiently, "Go quickly, go quickly."
"No, it would be too late for me to blame Shen Deqi in the middle of the night.
You come with me, we can chat along the way, it won't be cold."
While Captain Lu was putting on his clothes, he reached out and poked his wife's arm.
Captain Lu's wife was annoyed by his poking, so she looked forward twice, picked up the shoes on the ground, and hit Captain Lu with them.
"I want to go. Do you want to go and go to bed quickly?"
Captain Lu felt a little aggrieved and whispered, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you beating people?"
He picked up his military coat from the kang, picked up the flashlight beside him, wrapped himself tightly, and walked out.
As soon as I went out, the cold wind blew straight at me, making me shiver uncontrollably.
Looking at the dark sky, Captain Lu still didn't dare to go out alone.
He reached out and knocked on Lu Chuan's door, coughed lightly and said, "Dachuan, I have something to tell you, please come out for a moment."
Sun Meiying and Lu Chuan were having sex in the room, and suddenly they heard his father calling for help. Lu Chuan groaned and his face turned red instantly.
Sun Meiying was afraid of being laughed at by her father-in-law, so she quickly pulled the quilt over her and wrapped herself tightly.
He pushed Lu Chuan and said, "Go quickly, Dad might have something urgent to do!"
Captain Lu was standing in the yard smoking a pipe. When he heard some noise coming from inside the house, he quickly stood up from his stool.
Seeing his son's grumpy face, his heart skipped a beat.
Captain Lu also understood something, and his toes curled up together in embarrassment.
"Hey, Dachuan, put on a hat and go out with dad."
Lu Chuan obeyed and followed his father, wrapped up like a bear.
"Dachuan, starting tomorrow, you will have to follow Tiantian to the commune canning factory.
It’s freezing cold so you have to be safe. It’s better to get up earlier than drive too fast.”
Captain Lu felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he thought of an excuse and gave a few instructions.
Dachuan pursed his lips, and a struggle flashed in his eyes. After a long time, Captain Lu did not get a response, and turned his head in surprise: "What's going on?"
Lu Chuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Dad, Dayong can also drive a tractor, and everyone saw his skills during the autumn harvest.
I was thinking of letting Dayong go this time. He had given a lot of money to my younger sister before, and I guess he doesn't have enough money to build a new house.
Raising a child will cost a lot of money, so I thought about letting him do this job.”
Captain Lu paused and looked at his son intently.
There was a hint of relief in his eyes: "Not bad, you look like a brother now.
Dachuan, there are some things that Dad can’t say in front of your wife.
Look at our village, we are all united and no one dares to bully us.
When your mother and I grow old, you brothers will be the closest people to us.
There is no need to cause disunity among the family because of some issues between the daughters-in-law."
"Dad, you're right. I also said a few words to Meiying." A look of embarrassment flashed across Lu Chuan's face. Overall, his wife's problems were more serious.
Captain Lu patted Lu Chuan's shoulders heavily several times and said, "Your mother and I have been following you. Not to mention that I have a salary every month, your mother and I are both capable and can save a lot of money every year.
Don't let your wife always stare at the trivial things in front of her, or she will become a laughing stock in the village.
As for pregnancy, having a child depends on fate. The more anxious you are, the worse it will be.
Let the villagers say whatever they want, and let us just live our lives well."
Lu Chuan felt a warm current in his heart. He had never been as good at talking and coaxing as Dayong since he was a child, and his wife had always whispered in his ear, "Your father only favors the two younger ones, and you are the one stuck in the middle and not favored.
If you don't fight for it, what will be yours in the future?"
This has always left Lu Chuan with a knot in his heart. Some things might not be taken seriously if they are mentioned once or twice.
If you mention it too many times, even a fool will remember it.
And to this day, what his father said is like a heavy hammer, hitting Lu Chuan's heart hard.
Captain Lu knew that he needed to digest it, so he patted his arm twice and said, "Let's go. There are some things you need to open your eyes and look at with your heart."
On the last stretch of the journey, neither the father nor the son spoke. Captain Lu knew that it was useless for others to say anything, as Lu Chuan had to figure it out on his own.
When they arrived at Lu Zhiye's house, Captain Lu stomped his feet hard a few times: It's so damn cold.
Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe in the house were not doing anything good either.
Hearing the sudden noise, Lu Zhiye wanted to beat the man at the door to death with a big hammer.
When he opened the door, he found that it was Captain Lu and his son. Lu Zhiye said with a serious face: "What's the matter?"
Captain Lu: Come on, today we are just ruining the day.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, everyone at the cannery will gather there at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
I have found a sales position for you. Do you think it’s better for Xiao Wen, the educated youth in your family, to go or for you to go?”
Lu Zhiye took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I know."
The door was slammed shut, and Captain Lu curled his lips: "Serves you right!!!"
Lu Zhiye walked into the house, stretched out his hand to hold Wen Sihe in his arms, and told her about this matter: "Captain Lu gave me a sales position, and I guess it was hard to get it from the commune.
He asked who in our family would go? I originally wanted to find a place for you and let mom take care of the children at home every day.
That way no one will say anything.”
Wen Sihe thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. With this identity, you can go out.
Didn’t we make a lot of canned food in the space some time ago?
Take advantage of this opportunity to go out and save some space."
"become!"
Lu Zhiye lifted the quilt, covering the two people inside, and prepared to continue what he was doing.
Wen Sihe's cheeks flushed, and she reached out and pushed him: "We have to get up early tomorrow, stop making trouble."
Lu Zhiye kept moving his hands and chuckled, "It's not like I'm your husband. I can afford to waste this little bit of time."
The kerosene lamp kept flickering, and the two children were taken away by Yan Wenqing to be looked after, which was convenient for Lu Zhiye.
The woman's soft and tender voice and the man's heavy breathing form a wonderful nocturne.
