A little child behind them saw this and said, "Mommy, Mommy, that older sister is holding the older brother's hand."
"Children shouldn't look at things like that." The child's mother straightened the child's head. "Watch the movie."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao quickly withdrew her hand, afraid of setting a bad example for the child. She pretended to be calm and explained, "Little friend, your sister and brother were not holding hands. They just accidentally bumped into each other while picking up something."
"Sister is lying. I clearly saw you holding brother's hand."
Yu Yao felt ashamed. Who said children are easy to fool? When they get smart, they can be even more capable than adults.
"Look, do you see the candy in your sister's hand?" Yu Yao opened her palm as if by magic, showing the child the candy in her hand. "Brother was just eating the candy."
The child looked at Lu Ze with a suspicious expression, his little brows furrowed: "Big brother is so big, yet you still like to eat candy?"
Yu Yao gave Lu Ze a wink, and Lu Ze, looking at her earnestly coaxing a child, slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said indifferently, "I like it."
As he spoke, he took a piece of candy from Yu Yao's palm, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.
It was a little too sweet. Lu Ze frowned, but still ate the candy.
Seeing Lu Ze's cooperation, Yu Yao smiled and said, "Now you believe me, right? How about I give you the rest of the candy?"
The child's eyes were immediately drawn to the candy and melon seeds. When she heard Yu Yao say she would give her candy, she looked surprised and asked, "Are you really going to give me candy?"
Seeing his greedy expression, the child's mother said apologetically, "You don't need to worry about him, he'll forget about it in a little while."
"It's okay." Yu Yao put the candy in the child's hand. "Here's some candy for you. Now watch the movie carefully."
The child nodded, asked his mother to help him unwrap the candy, and happily watched the movie while eating the candy.
Seeing that the child's attention had finally been diverted, Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and continued watching the movie.
Lu Ze watched her play with the child, her demeanor gentle and patient, and softly asked, "Do you like children?"
Yu Yao's radar clicked, and fearing Lu Ze might misunderstand, she shook her head, "I don't like it. I can't handle kids when they get naughty."
After saying that, she didn't forget to comfort Lu Ze, "I'm still young, still a child, and this is the time when I should be working hard."
These were Yu Yao's true feelings. She was only twenty years old, her career was just getting on track, and it was the perfect time for her to make a name for herself.
Lu Ze is impotent, so having children will probably be difficult for him. It's fine for the two of them to just enjoy their time together as a couple.
Just as marriage is not a necessity for lesbians, having children is not a necessity for them either.
Whether or not to have children is a choice, and women can decide according to their own wishes.
For the rest of the time, Yu Yao and Lu Ze watched the movie quietly.
After the movie ended, people gradually left the theater, and Yu Yao and her friends also pushed their bicycles out.
Yu Yao glanced at her watch. "It's getting late. It's not safe for Qiaoqiao to go home alone. Brother, could you help me see her off?"
Fang Qiaoqiao pursed her lips. "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Comrade Wu?"
Wu Huaiqing glanced at Fang Qiaoqiao, who had her head down, and said with a smile, "No trouble at all."
Seeing the two of them like this, Yu Yao quickly pulled Lu Ze away to avoid being a third wheel.
The two rode their bicycles home, and on the way they heard dogs barking again.
We arrived at the military compound after 8 p.m. The four of us had eaten early in the canteen that evening, and we were a little hungry now.
The dried shrimp and oysters that had been dried at home were already cooked and could be eaten directly. Yu Yao went to the kitchen to get a plate and filled it with them. Seeing the enamel mug next to her, she remembered the medicinal wine hidden in the dresser.
The medicinal wine that Sister-in-law Sun Yu gave to the female comrade to drink, she drinks a cup every night. Over the past few days, she feels much more energetic than before and is not as easily tired.
However, due to his business trip and various other reasons, Lu Ze only drank the medicinal wine once.
She passed the preliminary round today, and she couldn't miss such a great opportunity to have Lu Ze drink with her.
Yu Yao placed the dried shrimp and dried oysters on the octagonal table in the main room. While Lu Ze went to the hand pump well to draw water, she went inside to get the medicinal wine for the man and mixed it with fruit wine, pouring a small half cup of it into an enamel cup.
Remembering that she hadn't used enough last time and it hadn't worked, she poured several more bottle caps into the enamel mug.
Even if Lu Ze has a high alcohol tolerance, drinking this much should have an effect.
After Lu Ze filled the water tank, Yu Yao invited him to sit down and have some late-night snacks. Men get hungry easily, so Yu Yao also opened a can of beef.
However, it wasn't one of the two types that were used in today's competition; it was another type of braised beef canned food made according to Lu Ze's preferred taste.
The beef is fresh and tender, cut into cubes, and simmered in a clay pot over low heat for an afternoon. The beef is tender, juicy, and flavorful. This is a specially made ready-to-eat version with a perfect balance of saltiness, making it ideal for pairing with drinks.
Yu Yao raised her enamel mug, "To celebrate that five of my canned goods passed the first round of the finals, cheers!"
"Cheers!" Lu Ze picked up his enamel mug, clinked glasses with Yu Yao, and took a sip.
"Don't just focus on drinking, eat some beef and dried shrimp first to fill your stomach." Yu Yao put several pieces of dried oysters into Lu Ze's bowl. "I heard that dried oysters taste especially good with alcohol, you should try it."
The two drank and chatted.
Thinking about today's game, Yu Yao asked, "You won the guessing game today, so as agreed, you can make a request to me."
Lu Ze ate a piece of dried oyster and took a sip of wine. "I haven't thought of anything to ask for yet. Can we save it for later?"
