Chapter 392: Shameless beast!
After hearing what Wenjiu said, Lu Beiye's smile became even brighter and gentler, but the evil intentions in his eyes were clearly written. Wenjiu only looked at him once and shuddered involuntarily.
Wanting to admit one's guilt and beg for mercy would only encourage Lu Beiye's arrogance.
He wanted to continue resisting but was afraid of angering Lu Beiye and his fate would be even worse.
Weighing the pros and cons——
She decided to mess up.
He shrank his head, bent his waist, crawled out from under Lu Beiye's armpit and ran away.
Whatever you want, do as you please!
Be happy as long as you can.
Let’s talk about tonight tonight!
Wen Chuji and Xia Huaishan saw Wen Jiu running to the bathroom like a gust of wind. They immediately felt that Lu Beiye must have done something bad. Suddenly, there were only a few big words in their minds -
Shameless beast!
We are all still here!
Can't you calm down a little and consider our feelings?
Xia Huaishan and Wen Chuji looked at each other and instantly decided not to let Lu Beiye be on duty tonight and let him do it alone.
Why should he sleep in a warm, fragrant bed at home with his wife in his arms, while I have to sleep on a cold, hard camp bed in the duty room?
Just thinking about it made him feel as pitiful as a little cabbage in the snow that no one wanted!
Rongrong ah Rongrong!
When can you marry me?
The more Xia Huaishan thought about it, the angrier he became. When it was time to eat, he ate like crazy, turning his anger and sadness into a strong appetite. He ate three bowls of rice in a row, taking away all of Lu Beiye's portion.
Wen Jiu was stunned. "Didn't the army let you eat in the morning?"
"Are you full?"
"There's some leftover rice from yesterday. How about I ask your brother Lu to fry it for you?"
Before Xia Huaishan could say anything, Lu Beiye kicked him from under the table.
"Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"
Xia Huaishan still didn't say anything, but Wenjiu turned around and glared at Lu Beiye.
"You forgot about it right after your parents left?"
"During this period, we can't say unlucky things like death or life."
Seeing Lu Beiye being glared at by Wen Jiu, Xia Huaishan felt secretly happy. His sister-in-law is so powerful, and he should cling to her to have a future.
He said flatteringly, "I'm full, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me."
Wen Jiu nodded, "That's good."
After dinner, Lu Beiye washed the dishes and went to the army with Wen Chuji and others. Wen Jiu walked around at home to digest the food. A few minutes later, Sun Mingzhu came with the materials for making lanterns.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Your family's meal is so early, I thought I was early enough."
Even with her lying on his back, Lu Beiye was still very fast.
Sun Mingzhu whispered, "Fried rice."
"No wonder!"
"Please sit down first and let me pour you a glass of water." After saying this, Wenjiu turned around, picked up the thermos, poured two glasses of water, put some honey in them, stirred it evenly, and brought it over to hand one glass to Sun Mingzhu.
Sun Mingzhu was so shocked by Wenjiu's generosity that she didn't know what to say. She could only take the water that Wenjiu passed to her and drink it in small sips. Honey was such a precious thing in her family that it was used to exchange money to supplement the family income. The family could only chew the filtered honeycomb to satisfy their cravings.
After finishing the water, he warmed the wine and replaced the burned coals in the stove, then sat down and began to learn how to make lanterns from Sun Mingzhu.
Lanterns are made with red paper, bamboo strips, scissors, wire, pliers, flour paste, and tassels made of red thread.
Sun Mingzhu knew that she didn't know how to warm the wine, so she first taught her how to make the simplest oval lantern.
First, use scissors to cut out the red paper, and then cut the processed bamboo strips, and fix the bamboo strips vertically on the empty round bamboo tube. The bottom sealing part should also be sealed with shallow bamboo nodes. The spiral patterns of the bamboo tube and bamboo nodes correspond to each other. Tighten it when it needs to be sealed, and twist it in the opposite direction when it needs to be removed. The candle is placed on the bamboo tube.
Wire is used to make handles.
There is a circle of small holes next to the bamboo nodes, and the finished tassels are passed through these holes.
After fixing the main body, use a small brush to apply paste on the red paper at the position corresponding to the bamboo strips, then carefully paste the red paper onto the main body and put it aside to dry.
Wen Jiu watched Sun Mingzhu assemble the inconspicuous bits and pieces into a beautiful lantern step by step in front of her, and her jaw almost dropped to the ground in amazement.
"Isn't this beautiful?"
"Mingzhu, you are amazing!"
She couldn't wait to turn off the lights and the door, draw the curtains, find the candles at home, light them and put them in the lantern.
The candle flames danced in the red lanterns, emitting a light that was both festive and soft.
So beautiful!
Sun Mingzhu blushed at the compliment, "My work is incomparable to my father's. He doesn't even need wire or anything like that. He can make the whole lantern out of bamboo, and he can carve beautiful patterns on the bamboo strips."
Sometimes, in order to sell the products at a good price, they would even ask someone to help draw on red paper. They would start preparing the materials in October just to make some money before the Chinese New Year.
With her father's craftsmanship in mind, she never thought she could make money from it.
Wen Jiu sincerely praised, "You are amazing! At least I can't make such a beautiful lantern."
"Can you be a little one?"
"Shall we make something smaller?"
"You don't need the kind with candles. This doesn't need to be too elaborate. I can help draw some flowers on the red paper or something."
After hearing what Sun Mingzhu said, she felt that the market for large lanterns might not be very good, but she could make some small attempts.
Sun Mingzhu nodded, "Yes."
Before she got married, she often used her father's discarded materials to play with, making strange little lanterns, which were like wind chimes, in strings, each as big as a palm, and looked particularly beautiful when tied to a stick and waved.
Making a small lantern is less troublesome than making a large lantern. You don’t need to put candles in the lantern, and many steps can be omitted.
The two of them worked on it for an entire afternoon and made a total of six strings. Each string was made up of ten small lanterns connected together and tied with a circle of tassels at the bottom. It looked both festive and cute.
Wen Jiu immediately announced happily, "When I learn how to make a string of red flowers to hang on the door for the New Year, I will feel better just by looking at them."
"I'm going to town to buy materials tomorrow. Do you want to come with me to sell the lantern?"
Sun Mingzhu bit her lip and thought for a while, and finally nodded heavily. Just like Wenjiu said, it would not be a loss if it could not be sold, and it would be okay to give it a try.
"Then take the things back first, and I'll get them for you tomorrow morning. If you leave them at my house, Captain Lu will find them."
Wen Jiu reminded him worriedly, "Go back and talk to your husband, and ask him not to mention this to my Captain Lu."
They were in the same group, so if he let it slip, there would be no surprise.
Sun Mingzhu didn't understand why Wen Jiu had to keep it secret when it would be discovered sooner or later, but she still listened to her and went back to tell her husband.
