Chapter 48: You almost broke my nose
Lu Beiye is not a talkative person, but he responded to everything Wenjiu said. It was not until he lost his voice in his arms that he realized that Wenjiu had fallen asleep.
He bent down and kissed the forehead of Wenjiu, with a gentle smile on his face, "Good night."
But thanks to the warm wine, I fell asleep.
Otherwise, after this goodnight kiss, he might have to take a cold shower in the bathroom again.
The next day, when she woke up from the wine, the seat next to her was empty as usual. She got dressed and went out, but Lu Qingqing had already prepared the food.
Wen Jiu yawned, "Qingqing, why do you get up so early every day?"
Lu Qingqing smiled shyly, "These are habits I developed when I was in school. I have to walk for more than an hour to get to school every day. If I get up late, I will be late."
It’s better in summer because the sun rises earlier.
In winter, when she got up, it was pitch black everywhere. She couldn't see the road without a torch, and her fingers were almost frozen by the time she got to school.
After listening to what Lu Qingqing said, Wen Jiu could imagine how bad her study environment was. She praised Lu Qingqing sincerely, "You are really amazing! If I were you, I probably wouldn't be able to persist until now."
Lu Qingqing was embarrassed by the compliments, "I'm not that good. At that time, I thought I couldn't waste my parents' money, so I had to make a name for myself."
It was because of this strong support that she was able to get into university.
"Very good!"
"You will become a great man in the future!"
Lu Qingqing covered her face, "Oh! Sister-in-law, please stop talking, I'm really embarrassed. Go wash your face first and let's eat!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Wen Jiu looked at Lu Qingqing's flushed face, and walked to the bathroom to wash up in a good mood.
There was also toothpaste in that era, but there were not as many types of toothpaste as there are today.
She uses iron toothpaste.
It tastes a bit weird when brushing my teeth, but that's the only condition I have right now.
So she didn't mind.
After washing up, she went back to the living room to eat. Today she had porridge and eggs again.
Wen Jiu looked at the black thing in Lu Qingqing's bowl and asked curiously, "Qingqing, what's in your bowl?"
She couldn't understand any of it.
Lu Qingqing lowered her head and said, "Zhou, I didn't use the kerosene stove well and it got burnt."
The kerosene stove is very convenient to use, but she was not very good at using it when she first learned it.
She originally wanted to eat first and then ask for the wine to be warmed up, but she got up before the wine could be warmed up, and then she was dizzy from the praise about warming the wine, and completely forgot about it.
"It's burnt so much, don't eat it. Is there still some in the pot?" Wen Jiu picked up Lu Qingqing's bowl and poured it into the trash can, then turned and went into the kitchen. She wanted to scoop another bowl for Lu Qingqing.
But there was nothing in the pot.
Lu Qingqing wanted to stop Wen Jiu but she followed him into the kitchen. She was so ashamed that she almost buried her head in her chest, "I only made two bowls..."
Why is she such a waste!
Her sister-in-law bought her so many things, but she couldn't even cook a meal.
Wen Jiu looked at Lu Qingqing's ashamed expression and gently comforted her: "If you don't have it, then you don't have it. We can share the bowl and eat it as a snack for lunch, right?"
"It's not a big deal. If you want to be ashamed, I should be the one to be ashamed! At least you can cook. It's the kerosene stove that affects your performance. But I can't cook at all. You still have to cook for me."
Lu Qingqing was used to living in the village. Suddenly she went out and didn't understand many things, so she felt a little inferior.
In addition, she wanted to do something to repay Wenjiu but messed it up, so she felt even more ashamed. However, after Wenjiu's comfort, her mood quickly recovered.
After the two of them finished their meal, Wenjiu went back to her room to continue altering the clothes. Lu Qingqing sat beside her and cut the clothes according to her requirements, laying out the fabrics so that Wenjiu could take them directly when she needed them.
Lu Qingqing's eyes widened as she watched the pieces of cloth being sewn together in Wenjiu's hands and gradually becoming clothes.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you are so awesome!"
"The clothes you make are much more beautiful than those sold in the shops on the street. If you sell them, I'm sure many people will be eager to buy them."
Wen Jiu chuckled, "These are old clothes, who wants them?"
But Lu Qingqing's words woke her up. She could make clothes and sell them. This was the major she had studied and it was easy to learn.
Just as Wen Jiu was immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly heard the sound of a door being pushed open behind him. He turned around and found that it was Lu Beiye who came back.
"Fourth brother, why are you back?"
Lu Beiye replied: "It's noon now. My clothes are torn and I'm here to change. You two should pack up and follow me to the army cafeteria to eat."
Looking at the looks of Wen Jiu and Lu Qingqing, he knew they definitely hadn't eaten yet.
Lu Qingqing got up and went out silently.
Lu Beiye found a new pair of pants and took them to the bathroom to change.
Wenjiu thought for a moment, patted the scraps of cloth and threads stuck on her body, stood up, picked out a white floral dress from the closet and put it on. She braided her black hair into a pigtail, pulled it from her back and draped it over her chest, looking gentle and pure.
She looked in the mirror and felt very satisfied. Afraid that Lu Beiye might be waiting anxiously, she walked out quickly.
“Hmm…”
She covered her sore nose and looked at Lu Beiye with tears in her eyes.
"Why are you walking so fast? You're almost breaking my nose..."
Lu Beiye smiled helplessly, "It was you who suddenly rushed out, and you still blame me?" As he spoke, he rubbed her nose gently with his hand covering the warm wine.
"Don't be so anxious when you walk next time, or you will be the one who suffers."
After Wenjiu calmed down, Lu Beiye took her and Lu Qingqing to the cafeteria. When he saw someone looking at them, Wenjiu looked back with a smile, which made those people feel embarrassed.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Lu Beiye found a good seat for Wen Jiu and took Lu Qingqing to get food.
There are a lot of people in the cafeteria.
She was sitting there with her wine in her arms, bored, when suddenly a girl in military uniform sat down opposite her and started talking to her enthusiastically.
"You are Captain Lu's sister, right? You are so beautiful. My name is Chu Mingyue, and I am from the military art troupe. I like you very much. You can call me Mingyue or sister."
"This is a new bracelet I bought yesterday. I think it suits your wrist very well, so I'll give it to you as a meeting gift!" Chu Mingyue said as she took off the necklace on her hand.
Wenjiu's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that meeting her love rival would be like this.
What a beautiful misunderstanding!
Chu Mingyue has a good family background. Her mother is the director of an art troupe and her father is the director of a steel factory. She is called "Lark" in the art troupe. She has a beautiful singing voice and countless suitors, but she only likes Lu Beiye.
In the book, when she returned from her performance, Lu Beiye had already married the original owner. She still acted as she pleased, expressing her love for him in a high-profile manner, and repeatedly asked the original owner to divorce Lu Beiye.
But the original owner was too arrogant and domineering, and would not allow others to take things he didn't like, and he treated Chu Mingyue very badly.
