Chapter 119: Listen to my explanation.
Because she was worried about Lu Beiye, Wen Jiu couldn't sleep the whole night. She got up and stared at two big dark circles under her eyes. She looked very decadent, as if she had taken drugs. She was scared when she looked at the person in the mirror.
I quickly washed my face with cold water, and after I woke up, I went to the kitchen to cook porridge for myself. I also cut some cucumber slices and applied them to my eyes to reduce the swelling.
After dinner she started making clothes. The clothes to be sold were made by Lin Xiulian and Yuan Fang, but she had to make the clothes for Lu Beiye and the others herself. It was better to have something to do than to have random thoughts.
She started with the simplest clothes for Old Man Wen and Old Lady Chu. She was not in a very good mental state right now, and she might not be able to make complicated and delicate clothes.
After she started working, her attention was completely focused on her hands and she had no time to think about Lu Beiye.
By the time Old Man Wen's clothes were ready, it was already noon. Wen Jiu felt his stomach, got up and walked out of the room to prepare some food.
She doesn't want to go home.
She was afraid that Lu Beiye would not see her when he came back, so she was facing the empty room alone.
Just when she was worrying about what to cook, Xia Huaishan came in with a lunch box.
"Sister-in-law, I brought you food."
Wen Jiu was confused. Didn't Lu Beiye tell her to go home? Why did he let Xia Huaishan bring her food?
"Brother Lu was worried that you would be hungry at home without returning to the compound, so he asked me to come and see you when I have time."
I didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.
Xia Huaishan put the lunch box on the table and said to Wen Jiu with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you know how big of an impact the scene of you and my brother Lu showing affection yesterday had on the soldiers in our entire battalion and the two idiots in the Fourth Regiment?"
"Which of the four groups is jealous? You can see their twisted faces from a distance."
"The soldiers in my camp have been arguing all morning, asking me to find wives for them. It's so noisy that my ears are almost going to explode from their noise. I haven't even found a wife myself, so how can I have the time to find wives for them?"
"Eat quickly, sister-in-law. I'll tell you while you eat!" Seeing that Wenjiu didn't move his chopsticks, Xia Huaishan directly handed the chopsticks to her.
He warmed the wine and then slowly started to drink it.
Xia Huaishan continued, "Sister-in-law, I think you should be a matchmaker. Finding wives for the bachelors in the army, your business will definitely be booming. You can count money until your hands cramp, and you can also be commended by the army. It's like killing three birds with one stone!"
Wen Jiu was helpless, "It's not as simple as you think!"
“Men are everywhere!”
"But where do I find a girl?"
In this era, boys are valued more than girls. Many girls have no chance of survival. They may be strangled to death once their gender is revealed at birth. In rural areas, many of them are thrown into urine buckets and toilets. In general, there are more boys than girls in society.
What's more, this is a military unit, where a large number of men gather.
Xia Huaishan joked, "I believe this little thing will not be difficult for you, sister-in-law. You have great powers in your heart and can do anything. My admiration for you is like the water of the Yellow River, which is endless and endless..."
"have to!"
"Shut up!"
Wen Jiu couldn't help but interrupt him, "Don't flatter me in front of me. I will definitely not forget what happened between you and Rongrong, but Rongrong's opinion represents my opinion. I won't be biased towards you just because you and Aye are brothers."
They are brothers.
But she and He Rongrong are also sisters.
Xia Huaishan curled his lips and scratched his ears, "In the end, it's still my brother Lu who is not good enough."
Even pillow talk is not good!
What's the use of him!
What happened to your promise to stand by your brothers?
Wen Jiu stuffed a mouthful of rice and teased, "Your brother Lu and I sleep in the same quilt. You said bad things about him in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will tell him when he comes back?"
Who can tolerate a man being told he is not good enough?
This is their Achilles' heel.
"How can this be a bad word?"
Xia Huaishan stood up straight in an instant, "Sister-in-law, listen to my explanation... Bah! Listen to my explanation."
"What I mean is, how could my brother Lu not tell me this little thing, and have to trouble you to tell me in person? He is really not good at this!"
"I will definitely tell him off later."
In fact, Wenjiu has said this several times because he is afraid that his expectations are too high and he will become resentful if something unexpected happens.
He had no more excuses to make, so he just forced himself to flatter Wenjiu.
No matter how many ways you try, flattery never wears out.
You have to flatter when it’s time to flatter!
Wen Jiu smiled helplessly, "You really can make the dead come alive with your mouth."
"It's all my sister-in-law's teaching!"
"This way, if any idiot comes to cause trouble again, I can kill them all for my brother Lu."
Xia Huaishan saw the opportunity and knew that Wen Jiu was obsessed with Lu Beiye, so he started to flatter Lu Beiye madly.
With him making jokes beside us, we had a very pleasant lunch with warm wine and ate all the food neatly.
Seeing Wenjiu was about to wash the lunch box, Xia Huaishan quickly grabbed it and washed it himself, "Sister-in-law, how can I let you do such rough work? This is my job when Brother Lu is not at home."
"You sit down and rest, I'll go wash up."
I can't beat him in getting the wine, so I'll just give up.
After washing the lunch box, Xia Huaishan came out and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you going back to the compound?"
Wenjiu shook his head, "No."
"Okay!"
"Then I'm leaving! Sister-in-law, you're busy. I'll bring dinner over and we can eat together. I really hate eating alone lately. It's settled!"
After he finished speaking, he ran away without giving Wenjiu a chance to refuse.
Even with a silver tongue, lies are still superficial.
Proves that telling lies really requires skill!
Wenjiu shook his head and laughed, then stood up and went back to the bedroom to make a cheongsam for Old Lady Chu.
Old Mrs. Chu is old, and the weather will get cold soon in autumn. The traditional cheongsam will definitely not last long, so she made some improvements to it, making it into a cheongsam skirt and adding a shawl, so that it can be worn in early autumn.
Lin Xiulian and Yuan Fang have been married for several years and both have experience. She is no longer as scared as she was at the beginning about her husband going on a mission and is always mentally prepared.
They knew that Wen Jiu had just gotten married and was definitely not used to being worried, so they moved all the sewing machines here and prepared to make clothes for her.
"Beautiful auntie——"
"Olaf is here to play with you!"
As soon as Olaf came in, he happily called Wenjiu. Wenjiu came out when he heard the voice, and was frightened when he saw the sewing machine in the room.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Lin Xiulian smiled and said, "We did a great job at your place yesterday, but when we got home we turned it into a mess. Your husband Lu wasn't home, right? We thought we could come over and make it. You can watch and teach us."
Yuan Fang also chimed in, "Yeah! I always felt there was something wrong when I went back to cut it, and I wanted to ask you about it, but you were too far away, so we discussed it and moved the things over here. You wouldn't be unwelcome to us, would you?"
