Chapter 403: Brother Lu really loves you, sister-in-law. If I were a woman, I would want to marry him.
"Wait until I come back."
"I'm waiting for you."
After Wen Jiu finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe, put his arm around Lu Beiye's neck and kissed his lips. He stood in the corridor and watched him go downstairs and leave. He watched his figure become smaller and smaller until it could no longer be seen and disappeared in the endless snow and wind. He stood there for a very long time before turning around and going back to the house.
There is hot soup in the pot, the coal briquettes in the stove are new, the clothes washed last night are still hanging in front of the window, the quilt still has his scent, and there are traces of him everywhere in the house, but he has left, and no one knows when he will come back.
Thinking that Lu Beiye might be in danger, her eyes couldn't help but feel sore. She raised her head and tried to force back the tears. She went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water to sober herself up, and took the hot soup from the kitchen to drink.
But he still had to drink two more sips, because the rising heat made his eyes water and tears fell into the bowl.
"Broken soup..."
"Why is it so hot?"
He warmed the wine while mumbling and cursing, then blew the soup to heat it up and drank it in gulps. He took it to the kitchen, washed it and put it away, wiped his tears, opened Lu Qingqing's door, and took out the ingredients she had hidden inside.
Originally I was afraid that Lu Beiye would see it, but now there is no need for that.
She followed Sun Mingzhu's example and first cut the paper with scissors and smoothed it out, then took out the paint she had bought and prepared to draw a pattern.
What should I draw?
Wen Jiu looked at the pale yellow paper in front of him and put his chin on the table, lost in thought. He felt a little pain in his chin and wanted to lift it up slowly, when he suddenly saw the plum blossoms on the table.
Just draw plum blossoms!
A smile lit up her face, and she stood up, mixed some red paint and began to paint. After drawing two strokes, she glanced at the plum blossoms in front of her. It took her more than half an hour to finish a painting.
But she was very satisfied with the result.
She then drew several pictures of orchids, lotus flowers and carp.
The red paper only needs to be cut without being painted; its color is already bright enough.
Wenjiu worked for a whole day to finish making a lantern that looked like a table lamp for use at home. When she stood up to stretch her back and take a break, she saw that it was almost dark outside and thought that Lu Beiye would be back soon, so she prepared to go outside to take a look.
But as soon as she walked outside and looked at the falling snow, she suddenly remembered it.
Lu Beiye went on a mission.
He won't be coming home tonight.
The expectation was dashed in an instant, and Wenjiu's heart felt like it was grabbed by someone and was tightly twisted into a ball. The uncomfortable feeling made him feel like he was about to suffocate.
Sister Zhang Mei, who lived next door, came out and saw Wen Jiu standing there blankly. She felt like she saw her past self. She sighed, walked over, took her hand and said a few words of advice.
"Marrying them is inevitable. We still have a long way to go! If we keep worrying about them, they might even make us sick. It's windy outside, so hurry back! Don't freeze yourself. Have dinner at my sister-in-law's house. I'll bring it to you when it's done."
"Captain Lu told me before that if you were home, please let me come over to see him. He's a good guy, much better than the guy in my house who doesn't even know how to help when his oil bottle falls. You're also a lucky person, so stop worrying, you two will definitely be together for a long time."
She has lived in the family compound for so many years, but this is the first time she has seen Lu Beiye like this. He cooks, cleans the house and does laundry at home, and when he goes out on a mission, he even asks others to help take care of his wife. He looks cold, but he is very considerate at heart.
Wenjiu didn't feel like crying at first, but after hearing what Sister-in-law Zhang Mei said, he wanted to cry.
He was going on a mission and still thinking about her...
Seeing Wenjiu crying, Zhang Mei's sister-in-law was immediately in a panic, "Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, what are you crying about? Oh! Look at me, I really don't know how to speak, I made you cry as soon as I spoke, stop crying! I apologize for what I said."
Wen Jiu shook his head quickly and choked up, "It's okay, sister-in-law. It's none of your business. I just suddenly couldn't hold it anymore."
"It's okay, it's okay, just cry if you want to! You'll get used to it after a while."
Because there is nothing we can do except to develop a habit; this thing cannot be changed at all.
"Come on, let's go back to the house." Sister Zhang Mei said as she pulled the wine warmer into the house. Seeing that the coals in the stove were burnt, she directly picked up the fire tongs beside her and replaced them for her.
"Where do you keep your coal briquettes? I see the fire in your stove is a little weak. It's cold these days and the fire is bigger at night. Leave the stove door open when you go to sleep!"
"I'll do it myself, sister-in-law." Wenjiu felt a little embarrassed to bother Zhang Mei, so he stood up and tried to grab the fire tongs from her hand.
Zhang Mei said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm in the kitchen, right?"
"I'll give you a change."
In their eyes, it was normal for Wenjiu, a spoiled young lady, not to do such things, and no one thought there was anything strange about her.
"Be careful at home. Remember to leave the windows open a little when you go to bed at night. It's almost the New Year so you should be careful."
"Okay sister-in-law, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Zhang Mei smiled and said, "Our two houses are next to each other, and you often send us things. The two children often come to play at your house. Since Captain Lu is not at home, it is my duty to help you."
"Warm your hands by the fire. I'm going home to cook dinner!"
She walked away smiling as she spoke.
After warming her hands with the wine, she got up and cleaned up the finished lanterns and the waste paper on the floor, and wiped the paint on the table. She planned to cut out window decorations and make two long strings of lanterns tomorrow, and then clean up the house and go back to the compound.
Anyway, Lu Beiye is not at home, so I might as well go back there to accompany my grandpa and parents.
Just when she was thinking about when she would be able to finish her work and leave tomorrow, Wen Chuji and Xia Huaishan came in from the door.
She was surprised and asked, "Brother? Huaishan, why are you two here?"
Wen Chuji took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, and went straight to the kitchen. "Your husband said that he is not at home on a mission and there is no one to cook for you, so he asked me to come over and cook for you."
Xia Huaishan also joked with a smile, "Brother Lu really loves you, sister-in-law. If I were a woman, I would want to marry him."
"What a wonderful husband!"
Wen Jiu's face turned red. How did this man know that she would not leave today? And how much could she eat? And she asked so many people for help...
Wen Chuji shouted in the kitchen: "What are you yelling about? Come in and wash the vegetables!"
"Do you still want to eat?"
“Think about it!”
Xia Huaishan rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.
Wen Jiu thought that since someone was cooking at home, she couldn't eat much, and it would be inappropriate for sister-in-law Zhang Mei to cook and leave some, so she went outside to take down the last few persimmons hanging in the air, brought them to the children in her family to eat, and told them about this matter at the same time.
