We went to work the next day.
As Ye Zhiyu walked down the street, she always felt that everyone was looking at her.
She looked over, but the other person looked away.
What's going on? Is there something on her?
Ye Zhiyu looked down to check her clothes. There was nothing wrong with them; everything seemed normal.
Even while registering in the warehouse, I could feel the scrutinizing gazes of others.
However, since no one meant any harm, she ignored it. It wasn't the first or second time she'd been stared at, so it didn't bother her.
Things started to change when Lu Chen arrived.
Some young men were whistling directly.
Some of the older women were much more direct: "Oh, Lu Chen's here. If you don't have a boyfriend, bring some good food. You need to know how to take care of people, you know? I've been there, so I'm an expert..."
Soon he was surrounded by people, all telling him how to pamper his wife.
Despite being away from Anlu Chen, he listened attentively, though he seemed a little uncomfortable.
After all, it's been a long time since I've been surrounded like this.
Ye Zhiyu laughed when she saw Lu Chen surrounded by people and looking at him helplessly.
Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look, and the beauty's smile dispelled all their worries.
The older women teased her kindly, "See? Ye Zhiqing is so happy that you're learning these things. You can't upset him."
Lu Chen was less cold and hard than usual, his demeanor softened, and he said earnestly, "I will."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, having a partner really makes a difference; she's nothing like before when she was so cold to everyone.
Ye Zhiyu wasn't surprised that everyone found out about their relationship so quickly. That's how it is in the village; if something happens in one family, as long as one person knows, it's like the whole world knows.
There are also those who can't stand to see others doing well.
"What's so great about it? It's not as good as the one from yesterday."
Granny Feng had come to find out about her sister Wang Cuihua's situation from yesterday. Since her sister's marriage hadn't gone through with it, she was naturally unhappy. She was hoping that her sister's family would prosper so that she could benefit from it.
You'd think they were sisters, they have the same ideas.
Instead of encouraging their own children to be self-reliant, they covet girls from wealthy families, intending to marry them and live off their wealth.
If you're smart enough to please someone, you can live off them for the rest of your life; there's no law against it.
What I hate most are those who live off others, eating and drinking from others, sucking their blood, and acting like they're doing them a favor.
This is truly something I've never seen before.
An old woman confronted her: "Old woman Feng, I think you've been carrying manure for so long, do you just stuff shit into your mouth when you're bored? Otherwise, why do you smell so bad? Everyone already knows what your sister has done."
"I've never seen anyone come knocking on your door to steal your partner before. You're the first in history to do so."
"Exactly, shameless."
Granny Feng shut her mouth in resentment. It was only because Ye Zhiyu had found Lu Chen that she was afraid Lu Weimin would really make her carry manure for the rest of her life. If it were anyone else, she would have torn her mouth to shreds.
Lu Chen didn't queue; he waited on the side.
No one asked, because Lu Chen had a job and it didn't matter whether he went to work or not.
After everyone had finally left, Lu Chen entered the warehouse, enduring the mocking looks from the crowd.
Ye Zhiyu was already waiting for him.
"Not working today?"
Lu Chen nodded: "There's a shipment that I need to oversee; I'll be gone for a week."
Ye Zhiyu lowered her head and gently picked at her fingers.
She was reluctant to part with him, but she wasn't unreasonable; she knew it was Lu Chen's job, so she tried her best to calm herself down.
"Then be careful on your way back. I'll wait for you to come back."
Lu Chen knew, of course, that she was in a bad mood. He wanted to be by her side all the time, but that would mean he couldn't give her a good life.
He simply raised his hand and patted her head.
"Honey, I'll see how things go. I'll come back as soon as possible."
"No, I don't want you to be in a rush. The most important thing when you go out is safety. Remember that."
Ye Zhiyu stood up and put her hands on her hips.
"Okay, I understand, I swear..."
Before he could even speak, Ye Zhiyu covered his mouth, preventing him from saying anything.
"Just remember it, why make a vow? If you're sincere, you can keep your promise without making a vow. If you want to lie to me, you have plenty of ways to get away with it."
Ye Zhiyu is both cute and fierce.
Lu Chen took her small hand in his own. "Okay, I won't say anything more."
Ye Zhiyu hesitated for a long time, but she was still overwhelmed by reluctance.
She pouted and threw herself into Lu Chen's arms, hugging his waist tightly.
"Lu Chen, I will miss you. Will you miss me?"
Lu Chen hugged her back and rested his chin on her forehead: "Yes, be a good girl and wait for me to come back. If anyone bullies you, you can beat them up. If you can't beat them up, wait for me to come back and beat them up."
Ye Zhiyu was amused and looked up at him: "Have you forgotten who I am? How could there be anyone I can't beat?"
"Yes, Ayu is the best."
They both laughed and hugged each other tightly.
......
With Lu Chen gone, Ye Zhiyu found nothing interesting to do, mainly because the job of a scorekeeper was quite simple.
You're idle most of the time, how can you not be bored?
Indeed, every job has its advantages and disadvantages.
September is fast approaching, and once Lu Chen returns, it will be time to harvest the grain. Things will get busy again then.
Feeling incredibly bored, and realizing it had been a long time since he'd seen Lu Yun, he got out of bed to go see her.
Let's see how well she's learning to read; school will start soon.
"Auntie? Are you home?"
Hearing the noise, Tian Hongfang, who was sewing shoe soles inside the house, quickly got off the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Hey, Ye girl's here. Come inside quickly, it's hot outside."
"You must be thirsty from the journey. Let me make you some sugar water."
The more Tian Hongfang looked at Ye Zhiyu, the more she admired him.
"Sister Ye, I haven't seen you in so long, I miss you so much."
Lu Yun jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and hugged Ye Zhiyu's waist.
"Oh, I miss you too."
He responded to Lu Yun and quickly stopped Tian Hongfang from getting the candy.
"Auntie, no need, I'll just drink plain boiled water. It's hot, and drinking sugary water makes my mouth feel sticky and uncomfortable."
"That's right, the old lady was so happy to see you that she was completely confused."
Tian Hongfang patted her head.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiyu pretended to be displeased and said, "What are you saying, Auntie? You're not confused at all. I'm happy that you're here."
Tian Hongfang laughed so hard her eyes disappeared.
"You're so good with words. What brings you here to see this old lady today?"
Ye Zhiyu patted Lu Yun's little head in her arms: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen Niu Niu for a long time and wanted to come see her. She'll be going back to school in a couple of days, right?"
"Sister Ye, is going to school fun?"
Before Ye Zhiyu could speak, Tian Hongfang interjected, "Stop hugging your sister Ye, it's so hot. School is for you to study, not for you to play."
Lu Yun refused to let go.
Ye Zhiyu didn't mind: "It's alright, Auntie, we haven't seen each other in a long time, let's kiss."
"Besides, you need to balance work and rest when you're studying."
He lowered his head and touched Lu Yun's face: "Niu Niu, how about I see your learning results?"
"good!"
Being held in Sister Ye's arms, so fragrant and soft, felt incredibly comfortable, so naturally, I agreed to whatever she said.
