Su Ya also saw Lu Ze, and her expression changed slightly.
Lu Ze looked at Su Ya with a cold gaze: "It's getting late. Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law still have a long way to go, so I won't keep you any longer."
Lu Guoliang said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to your third sister-in-law's nonsense. Although Ning Wan'er and Lu Ze were childhood sweethearts, they haven't seen each other since Lu Ze entered military school. So many years have passed, those are all ancient history."
After saying that, he looked at his younger brother, "Lu Ze, it's getting late, we still have to get to the production team, so we won't stay any longer."
After saying that, he grabbed Suya and left.
As they stepped out of the courtyard, Lu Guoliang looked displeased: "Tell me what's wrong with you? Why did you have to provoke them?"
"I just can't stand it. Why should a country girl I looked down on back then be living a better life than me?"
Su Ya felt a mix of emotions. In that instant, she just wanted to upset Yu Yao and didn't want to see her have a good life.
"I think you're just jealous. Jealous that Yu Yao is doing better than you now. If it weren't for your Su family, would we have been sent to the countryside?"
Su Ya looked at Lu Guoliang and said, "Lu Guoliang, you're blaming me. How was I supposed to know that my brother had done so many things behind my back? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you do them."
Thinking of this, Lu Guoliang was filled with anger, and his tone became impatient: "We're already in this situation, so watch your mouth. Don't forget that we've already published a notice in the newspaper to sever ties. If you offend Lu Ze, what will you do when you need to ask for help in the future?"
Su Ya retorted stubbornly, "Don't we still have my older brother and parents? It's not like we can only ask Lu Ze for help."
Lu Guoliang ignored her. "You're just being stubborn. Your older brother and the others are too far away in Guangdong. If something really happens, we'll still have to rely on Lu Ze. We're just cutting ties with outsiders, not really cutting all ties. You'd better watch your mouth and try to get along better with your sister-in-law."
Su Ya knew Lu Guoliang was right, but precisely because he was right, Su Ya felt even more unbearable.
No matter how jealous or afraid she was, she could only endure it and watch helplessly as Yu Yao, whom she had once looked down upon, lived a better and better life.
kitchen.
Lu Ze said in a deep voice, "In this life, besides me, who else have you been looking for?"
Yu Yao felt a little guilty for some reason as Lu Ze stared at her with eyes as dark as obsidian.
"I was just saying that. I know you're not that kind of person. If you really liked that Ning Wan'er, you definitely wouldn't have agreed to the marriage exchange."
Lu Ze's expression was serious. "Words alone won't do. In this life, you will always be my lover. I won't give you the chance to have someone else."
Yu Yao suddenly leaned closer and carefully examined Lu Ze's expression.
Lu Ze frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
Yu Yao looked at him with a smile: "Commander Lu, are you jealous? No wonder there was such a strong sour smell in the air."
Yu Yao thought Lu Ze would deny it, after all, Lu Ze was always calm and composed and would not easily show his emotions.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ze gave him a deep look, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm just jealous."
His direct admission made Yu Yao a little embarrassed. "You just said it like that in broad daylight."
"Mmm." He never held back his words when it came to loving her.
Their eyes met, and he gazed at her intently and affectionately.
The scene from last night involuntarily surfaced in Yu Yao's mind.
When he dragged her into his vortex, he would always look at her with such deep affection, and she would fall for him.
Yu Yao blushed and looked away. "Dad is working overtime today, so I'm going to bring him some food."
After saying that, he packed the fresh dishes made with bamboo shoots into a lunchbox and went to the shipyard.
During this period, Cui Zhizhou had to work overtime and lived in the shipyard dormitory, eating in the canteen on weekdays.
Yu Yao made some fresh vegetables today and plans to send some over to him to add to his meal.
Upon arriving at the shipyard gate, Yu Yao told the sentry guarding the area that she was looking for Cui Zhizhou.
The sentries all knew that Yu Yao was Professor Cui's daughter. "Comrade Yu, please wait here for a moment while I go and inform Professor Cui."
The sentry returned shortly afterward.
Behind him was a strange man with a baby face, who looked to be around twenty years old and had a gentle, harmless smile.
"You must be Sister Yu Yao. My name is Jin Yunlai. I am Cui Gong's apprentice. Cui Gong is discussing a problem with Liu Gong and is temporarily unable to leave, so I am here to help him carry his things."
It turns out he was Jin Yunlai.
Yu Yao had heard Cui Zhizhou mention that this person was one of the experts who came from Qing City to provide support. He was 24 years old this year, young and outstanding, and had great potential in shipbuilding.
"It's Senior Brother Jin! Hello, Senior Brother Jin! Here's stir-fried shrimp with bamboo shoots, white pomfret with bamboo shoots, and a jar of lychee honey. Could you please take this to my dad for me?"
Jin Yunlai took the lunchbox and said with a smile, "Junior sister, don't worry, I will definitely give it to Master."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jin."
Jin Yunlai carried a lunchbox into the shipyard. Cui Zhizhou had just finished work and saw the lunch Yu Yao had brought him, a smile appearing on his stern face.
Liu, the second-in-command and also the husband of Hu Meiyun, who worked as a teacher at the government-run daycare center with Wu Wanying, deliberately asked Cui Zhizhou while carrying a lunchbox, "Professor Cui, it's rare to see your daughter bringing you food. What did she make? How many dishes?"
As he spoke, Engineer Liu took out his lunchbox, which was packed full, and opened it.
The surrounding workers all said enviously, "Engineer Liu, your daughter is so filial. This lunchbox is full of vegetables and meat. It looks delicious."
Liu glanced at Cui Zhizhou with a smug look and said modestly, "My daughter just thought I'd been working too hard lately and was worried that my body couldn't handle it, so she specially prepared some good food for me to help me recover. Don't just envy me, Cui's daughter also brought her some vegetables today."
