Chapter 13: Two sticks won't make a fart
The man wondered, "Your own sister, don't you know what she looks like? I remember she always wore a mask, so I couldn't see her face clearly. I just remember she had a black mole at the end of her eyebrow, she was a little fat, and her waist was probably two times thicker than mine."
There is a black mole at the end of the eyebrow...
And a little fat...
Lu Beiye searched his mind for a long time, but couldn't think of anyone who met the requirements. He then asked: "Brother, if the letter is taken away, will the post office say there is no letter or that it was taken away?"
His father said that he came every month at first, but the post office said there was no letter for him in odd-months, so he went to the post office only in even-months to pick up his mail, and his mail was always empty.
The man was even more puzzled when he heard this, "Why do you ask such a question?"
"Of course it was taken away. We always keep a record of the letters we receive, and when someone comes to pick up the mail we have to check the records for them. Not having the mail and having it taken away are two completely different things."
"Then do you remember who replaced you during your illness?"
He suspected his father had been misled.
The man was a little annoyed by the question, "It's been so long that I can't remember clearly, I just know that when I came back he seemed to have left."
"I have to get back to work."
He said this and left.
Lu Beiye stood up, dusted off the dust on his body, and walked across the street with his long legs.
He got a lot of useful information. He went back to ask his father. Knowing the specific characteristics of the person who gained his trust was always better than finding a needle in a haystack.
The worst outcome is that his father will take his brother to the post office next month to wait to catch thieves.
The two of them found a place to have lunch. After lunch, they took two portions back to give to Mr. and Mrs. Lu, and then completed the discharge procedures and went home.
Liang Cui and Lu Hongjun were sitting in the car. They looked around curiously at first, but they lost interest later on because the road from the town to their home was a dirt road and was very bumpy.
But warming the wine doesn't feel like anything.
Maybe it's love that's enough to drink water?
As they were almost home, Lu Hongjun suddenly remembered something important. "Ajiu, Aye, we can't drive the car all the way home. It's probably not safe to park it on the road. How about we park the car at your third aunt's house and walk back?"
Cars are very valuable in any era. It is dangerous to park them on the roadside with no one watching. If someone with a bad heart deliberately damages them, how are they going to pay them back?
Lu Beiye thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the intersection first, and then drive the car to my third aunt's house."
His third aunt's house was near the road, but still some distance from their home.
After unloading the things at the intersection, Lu Hongjun took a few easy-to-carry things and went home to get the backpack. Wen Jiu and Liang Cui sat on the side of the road looking at the things and waiting for him to come, while Lu Beiye drove to his third aunt's house.
Their village is located by the river. There is a road in the village that can be driven by cars, but it cannot reach Lu's house and is quite far away. So they take the small road behind their house to get to the road, and it takes at most 20 minutes to get to the road.
It was almost evening.
The temperature is not high, the breeze is refreshing and very comfortable.
But mosquitoes are very vicious.
Not long after Wen Jiu sat down, his fair and tender arms were bitten by mosquitoes. They were red and swollen, and looked a little scary.
Liang Cui was frightened when she saw this, so she quickly pulled her arm over and gently rubbed it, "It's itchy, right? Mommy will rub it for you. The mosquitoes in the mountains are more poisonous. When we get home, Mommy will apply some cooling oil on you and you'll feel better."
Her hands were rough and black, but her nails were neatly trimmed and there was no black mud in the gaps between her nails. It was obvious that she was quite clean.
Wenjiu smiled sweetly, "Okay, Mom."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting happily and didn't even notice Lu Beiye came back.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Liang Cui was having a pleasant chat with Wen Jiu when she suddenly heard a voice behind her and was frightened. She turned around and glared at Lu Beiye with pretended ferocity.
"You are already married, why are you still so unstable? Your mother can scare me, but your wife is so delicate and weak. What if you scare her to death?"
Lu Beiye curled the corner of his mouth without saying anything. Wen Jiu is so delicate and weak?
It's just hell!
She beat people more fiercely than he did last night!
Seeing that Lu Beiye didn't say anything, Liang Cui rolled her eyes angrily, "You can't even make him fart after hitting him with two sticks!"
This made Wenjiu couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how high an official's rank is, he has to obey orders when he returns home. Even the most powerful army commander is no exception.
Soon Lu Hongjun also came back, bringing Lu Dongyang and Lu Nanfeng with him. The three of them quickly divided the things and carried them back home.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it was downhill. There were leaves everywhere on the road. Wenjiu walked very carefully and fell three times.
"Lu Beiye..."
Wenjiu sat hugging Lu Beiye's legs and looked at him with pitiful eyes.
She could not walk any more.
My butt is almost broken into eight pieces.
Lu Beiye said helplessly: "Let go, stand up and I'll carry you, you carry the bag."
If he hadn't been so steady, he would have been knocked down by her several times.
"Okay, okay."
Wen Jiuwen immediately came to her senses. She let go of Lu Beiye's legs, stood up happily, took the bag that Lu Beiye handed to her and put it on her back.
Lu Beiye bent down, carried her on his back and walked home.
His steps were steady, his back was broad, and he felt comfortable holding the warm wine around Lu Beiye's neck. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
But Lu Beiye was not so comfortable. His back was often rubbed against the softness of the warm wine. The temperature of their bodies gradually became the same. She was breathing into his ears...
It was itchy...making him feel uncomfortable.
He tilted his head calmly, and only after he distanced himself did he feel better.
Lu Hongjun and his friends walked quickly. When Wenjiu and Lu Beiye returned home, they were all working. Lu Hongjun went to the fields to check on the rice, Liang Cui went to the fields to pick vegetables, Lu Dongyang went to the river to get the fish he had caught yesterday, Lu Nanfeng watered the fields, Lu Qingqing picked vegetables, and Liang Cui and Zhou Mei cooked.
Even Lu Qiuyu and Lu Xue were busy, the two of them were boiling water in the yard using a clay stove.
Only the Qilian flowers were nowhere to be seen.
Lu Beiye was basically away from home in recent years, and Lu Qiuyu and Lu Xue had basically no contact with him. When they saw them come back, their eyes were full of curiosity, but their attitude was not very warm.
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt." The two of them greeted Lu Beiye and Wen Jiu politely.
"Hello, Xiaoyu, Xiaoxue." Wenjiu greeted them both with a smile. She liked polite cubs.
Lu Beiye was also very happy when he returned home. He touched the two children's heads and talked to them with a smile.
"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, you feel hot, don't you? Go wash up and take a rest in the house." Zhou Mei came out holding a washbasin and greeted them gently.
She is not pretty, but she gives people a comfortable feeling, and her soft voice makes people want to get close to her.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Wenjiu raised his head and smiled sweetly at Zhou Mei, which made Zhou Mei feel a little embarrassed. She almost bumped into the wall while walking, and her face was as red as the red peppers in the ground.
