Chapter 35: Fourth sister-in-law, what bad things have you done to my fourth brother?
Lu Qingqing didn't know what to say, so she ran over and took the firewood from Liang Cui's arms and went into the kitchen.
Wen Jiu walked over and hugged Liang Cui's arm, acting coquettishly, and dragged Lu Beiye over as an excuse, "I was curious whether Ah Ye had a girlfriend in the village before, so I asked Qingqing about it. I was afraid that Ah Ye would show off if she knew about it, so I asked her not to tell anyone about it."
"Mom, you have to keep it a secret for me too."
Liang Cui couldn't stop laughing after hearing this. What she wanted to see most was the relationship between Wen Jiu and Lu Beiye. "Don't worry, he doesn't have any girls he likes. He's already bothered by Qingqing, let alone other girls."
The two of them went into the kitchen while talking.
"See if there's anything else you want to eat. Mom will make it for you. It will be difficult to eat home-cooked meals when you return to the army." Liang Cui said as she peeled potatoes.
There were a lot of dishes on the chopping board.
There are mushrooms and day lilies that Wenjiu likes, eggplants and beans that Lu Beiye likes, and leeks and eggs that Lu Qingqing likes, all made according to their tastes.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "It's nothing, you have already prepared all the dishes I like."
"aunt--"
"Auntie..."
"Come out and see! My dad and fourth uncle caught a really big fish!"
Lu Qingqing was cooking. When she heard the noise outside, she grabbed the wine and ran out. Liang Cui was so angry that she scolded her in the kitchen, "You stupid girl, you are in such a hurry to run out while the food is still cooking in the pot. Are you going to eat tonight or not?"
But Lu Qingqing didn't care about all this. Her and Wen Jiu's curiosity had reached its peak.
"Wow--"
"It's so big!" Lu Qingqing and Wen Jiu walked over and looked at the fish in Lu Beiye's hand in surprise. Lu Qiuyu and Lu Xue also surrounded him excitedly.
This fish is really good, weighing at least 20 kilograms, and it is still alive, with its tail still swinging.
Lu Beiye took two steps back and said, "Xiaoyu, go to the kitchen and get a bucket of water. Xiaoxue, Qingqing, stay away from here, or you won't get splashed with blood."
The fish was a grass carp, very fierce. It slapped Lu Qiuyu several times when he just pulled it out of the water. He originally wanted to kill it and bring it back, but he only slapped it to make it unconscious. It woke up as soon as he entered the house.
"Okay." Lu Qiuyu responded, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to get a bucket, filled it with some water and brought it out.
Lu Beiye put the fish into the bucket and left it there, then drew some water from the well to wash it.
He hates the smell of fish.
Wen Jiu turned around and saw Lu Beiye taking off his short-sleeved shirt, bending down and pouring water on his face. This action made his arms tense, revealing his perfect lines, which was very sexy. But the sexiest thing was his Adam's apple with water droplets on it. The drop of water just stuck there, making it even more seductive under the golden sunset.
"Gudong——" She swallowed, thought for a moment, turned around and went into the house to get some soap for Lu Beiye.
"Thank you."
Lu Beiye took the soap and washed his hands and face carefully. He found that he still smelled after washing. The warm wine soap was delivered just in time.
Wenjiu was like an assassin preparing to commit a crime. He secretly looked around and when he saw that everyone's attention was on the fish, he approached Lu Beiye with peace of mind.
He lowered his voice and said, "I have a request that may seem a little unreasonable, but it is definitely one that I have carefully considered. Can you agree to it?"
Lu Beiye paused in washing his face and almost laughed out of anger at the words about warming the wine.
"I don't agree!"
She herself knew that it was a bit unreasonable, so what else could she ask for?
"I'm telling you!"
"Your opinion was not sought!"
Wen Jiu pretended to be vicious when he finished speaking, then he touched Lu Beiye's abdominal muscles twice, and then he ran away when Lu Beiye didn't react.
Lu Beiye: “…”
He was stunned for a few seconds, then continued scrubbing as if nothing had happened.
But his abdomen felt a little hot, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, like joy and anger, but he knew that he did not hate the hooligan-like behavior of warming wine.
Wen Jiu held Lu Qingqing's arm, but his eyes kept drifting towards Lu Beiye, with a somewhat guilty expression.
Lu Qingqing asked curiously, "Fourth sister-in-law, what bad things did you do to my fourth brother? Why do you look so guilty?"
"Do you need me to plead for you?"
plead?
What favor are you asking for?
This is flirting!
Wen Jiuguo shook his head decisively, "No need."
It would be so boring if both of them were normal. There has to be one bad guy!
To live is to be a jerk!
After Liang Cui finished cooking, she looked at the dying fish in the bucket and said, "Old Four, kill this fish and let us eat it tonight! If we keep it here, it probably won't survive until tomorrow." And they would be gone tomorrow.
Lu Beiye wiped his face and came over and said, "Didn't you finish cooking the vegetables? That's enough to eat, why cook fish? Leave it for you to make soup to nourish your body!"
Wen Jiu also chimed in, "Yeah! You've already cooked so many dishes. If you cook fish again, we won't be able to finish it. The weather is hot, and it will be a waste if it goes bad tomorrow."
"Okay then! Let's clear the table and have dinner." After hearing what they said, Liang Cui no longer insisted on her opinion.
After dinner, Liang Cui took out the things that Wen Jiu and the others had packed by the light of the oil lamp and checked them carefully, fearing that she had missed anything. When Lu Hongjun woke up from a nap, she was still awake and was still going in and out packing things.
Lu Hongjun got up and said, "It's already so late. Why aren't you sleeping?"
Liang Cui said without even looking up, "Just go to sleep and don't worry about me. The kids are leaving and I have to pack their things for them."
"Okay, okay, then hurry up and pack up, and go to bed early. You know your own health, don't let it wear you out and make the children worry."
"Why do you have so much to say? I've forgotten what you were talking about." Liang Cui glared at Lu Hongjun angrily.
Lu Hongjun had no choice but to turn over and go to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, Wen Jiu, Lu Beiye and Lu Qingqing were ready to leave, and the whole family sent them to the roadside.
Lu Beiye went to his third aunt's house to pick up the car. Liang Cui took the wine to warm it and gave Lu Qingqing some instructions.
"Qingqing, when you get there, remember to listen to your fourth brother and his wife. Don't cause trouble, study hard, take good care of yourself, don't go out at night, and don't go to places where there are no people during the day. Do you understand?"
"Ajiu, Qingqing has never been away from home before, so you need to take care of her on the road. If she does something wrong, just teach her a lesson and don't worry about us."
…
The three of them talked for a long time before Lu Beiye drove over. Liang Cui helped load the things into the car with red eyes, and only turned around and went home after the car was out of sight.
Lu Qingqing sat in the car, watching the mountains outside the window receding behind her, as if they had broken through layer after layer of obstacles. Her longing for the unknown washed away the sadness of parting with her family.
