Chapter 10
As if he felt that he had not performed well, Tang Zhou quickly walked to the well in the Lu family's yard and picked up the stone well cover with both hands.
That’s a manhole cover that requires two grown men to lift!
Tang Zhou, a little kid, picked it up easily!
Everyone's mouths slightly opened, everyone was stunned in astonishment, even Lu Huaijing's face was full of surprise.
At first he thought Tang Zhou was just a little too strong, but he didn't expect him to be so strong!
He is very suitable for the troops. There is a light in his eyes when he looks at Tang Zhou.
Everyone stood there in a daze, until the bowl in Lu Huaimei's hand fell to the ground, startling everyone.
Tang Wan said calmly: "Although my brother is young, he is not bad. He can protect me."
"I can still do farm work and I won't eat for free!"
Tang Zhou raised his neck proudly. This was the method he and his sister had secretly discussed on the train. They must not let the Lu family look down on them.
Otherwise they would definitely take advantage of him and bully his sister.
Didn’t the sister-in-law just complain that her sister was too petite and soft?
Crowd: …
Tang Wan would never tell Tang Zhou that she did this on purpose for the Lu family to see, to prevent them from secretly bullying Tang Zhou when she wasn't looking.
"Zhou Zhou, you are so awesome!"
Wang Dani patted her thigh in surprise, smiling, "Old Third, what are you still standing there for? Bring your wife and brother-in-law over for dinner."
Because of Tang Zhou's action, even Li Cuihua became quiet. Lu Huaimei wanted to say something, but her brother Lu Huaiyi pulled her back and she shut up.
"Sit down." Lu Huaijing placed their luggage in the main room. Wang Dani brought three stools, and Tang Wan pulled Tang Zhou to sit next to Lu Huaijing.
The dishes on the table were not very good, just a large bowl of dried radish and a large bowl of wild vegetable porridge.
Wang Dani picked up a spoon and filled a bowl of porridge for Tang Wan. It was very thick, with more porridge than soup.
She filled another bowl for Tang Zhou, and when she was filling one for Lu Huaijing, Li Cuihua couldn't help it and she curled her lips.
"Mom, there are so many of us, there's not enough food!"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
What Wang Dani regretted most was marrying such a gossipy daughter-in-law who made her angry all day long.
As she spoke, she handed a corn bun to each of Tang Wan and the others. The bun did not taste very good and made their throats sore.
However, seeing that Lu Huaijing was eating with great relish, Tang Wan also lowered her head and ate.
With the three of them there, the atmosphere became a little weird. Tang Wan noticed that although Wang Dani was cursing, no one was left without food.
But when it was her turn, there was only porridge with almost no rice grains left, and only half of the steamed bun was left.
Poor mothers in the world.
Tang Wan felt a pang in her heart. Lu Huaijing's mother was a good mother, just as good as the original owner's mother.
As soon as the food arrived, everyone gobbled it up as if they were afraid that it would be snatched away.
Only then did Tang Wan realize how life was like these days with little food and clothing. Even people from well-off families could only eat until they were 60% to 70% full.
After such a long journey, Lu Huaijing was very hungry and finished his lunch in just a few bites.
Tang Wan handed the remaining half of the steamed bun to Lu Huaijing. Lu Huaijing was stunned at first, and then felt a little embarrassed.
"Eat it yourself."
She is so petite and too thin. How can she not eat more?
"I'm full."
Tang Wan knew that Lu Huaijing was so tall and would definitely not be full with such a small amount. She had a small stomach and really couldn't eat much.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Lu Huaijing once again sighed that he had married a good wife, took the steamed bun and ate it in three or two bites.
Wang Dani caught a glimpse of this scene and felt extremely satisfied. This was a woman who loved men, and the third brother's life would not be bad in the future.
After dinner, Li Cuihua was muttering to herself as she cleaned up the dishes, while Wang Dani held Tang Wan's hand affectionately.
"Third brother, let Zhou Zhou and your little brother sleep. I'll make the beds for you now."
She carried Tang Wan's cloth bag, while Lu Huaijing carried her suitcase. Only then did Tang Wan have time to look around the Lu family.
Lu Huaijing is the child of a martyr. In his early years, he received his father's allowance. After his father passed away, he received Lu Huaijing's allowance again.
Therefore, the Lu family was considered a well-off family in the entire Shiping Brigade. They had a row of wooden houses with the main hall in the middle.
There are four rooms on each side of the main hall, and each of the brothers and sisters has a room. One is where Wang Dani lives, and the other is the kitchen.
After Lu Huaili got married, her house is now occupied by her grandchildren.
Wang Dani asked Lu Huaiyi to take Tang Zhou to his room, and she took Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing back to the house where he used to live.
The house is very clean, about 20 square meters, and it is obvious that Wang Dani often comes to clean it on weekdays.
The furniture was also all made of wood. Wang Dani made the beds for them and her eyes fell on Tang Wan's forehead with confusion.
"Third wife, do you want to tighten your head?"
"It's okay."
Tang Wan lowered her eyes and said, "It happened accidentally when something happened at home. My mother deliberately made it so exaggerated."
There is a spring of spiritual water in her room. She has been using it to wipe her wounds these past two days, and the wounds have already scabbed over.
"It's all right, it's all right."
Wang Dani's face was full of smiles, "Old Third Wife, you have been sitting on the train for such a long time, take a good rest first.
I'm looking after your brother, no one dares to bully him!"
"Thank you, mother."
At present, Tang Wan has a good impression of Wang Dani, and she is willing to respect her, so she called Wang Dani.
"Mom, wait a minute."
"What's wrong? Is there something missing in the house?"
Wang Dani's face was full of confusion, but she saw Tang Wan open the cloth bag and take out a bag of biscuits from it.
"Mom, I noticed you didn't eat much just now. Eat some biscuits to fill your stomach."
Wang Dani didn't know when they would be home, so she didn't cook for them.
When she shared her share with them, Tang Wan was touched.
"No, no, I'm not hungry."
Wang Dani had a better impression of Tang Wan. She was a generous and elegant person, nothing like Li Cuihua, from whom she got nothing after marrying.
"If she gives it to you, you just take it."
Seeing that Tang Wan was in a difficult situation, Lu Huaijing spoke up for her, "My wife is honoring you."
"Okay, okay."
Wang Dani held the biscuit as if it were something delicious and quickly left the room. Lu Huaijing's mouth corners slightly raised.
But Tang Wan was in trouble when looking at the new bunk bed. There were four wooden pillars around the bed, and except for the front, the other sides were surrounded by wooden boards.
It's not as good as the ancient step-out bed, but it's also a good thing. She was a little confused.
"What's wrong, don't you like it?"
It was also the first time that Lu Huaijing saw this bed. He smiled and explained, "I guess my mother knew we were coming back.
So I hurriedly asked an uncle in the village who was good at carpentry to make it for us as our wedding bed."
He took two days off to get to Taipei City, then took a day and night train ride. Now it was the fourth day of his vacation, and he had just made his bed.
"fine."
Tang Wan was also from the South before she traveled through time, but she had been sleeping on a Simmuse bed since she was a child, and she had only seen such beds on the Internet.
"You take a rest, I'm not sleepy."
When Lu Huaijing and Tang Wan just walked in, he guessed that she would definitely feel uncomfortable sleeping with them together, so he generously gave up his bed to Tang Wan.
"good."
Tang Wan didn't force him. She really didn't get enough rest on the train. She fell asleep in a daze under the quilt filled with sunlight.
