Chapter 73: It’s so cool. I lost face again before I could get it back.
The warm wine was boiling! Suddenly she heard the sound of the door being pushed open. She stopped instantly and pulled the quilt to cover her face.
Cool!
I haven't gotten my face back yet, but I lost it again.
Lu Beiye just thought that Wen Jiu was cute, and chuckled twice and said, "I'm going to be late, so I won't make breakfast for you. Tell Qingqing what you want to eat and let her make it. I'm leaving now."
Wen Jiu said sullenly, "I know."
After hearing Wenjiu's answer, Lu Beiye turned around and left.
But it took a long time to warm the wine before he regained his shameless spirit, got up, dressed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Lu Qingqing had gotten up long ago. When she saw Wen Jiu coming out after washing her face, she asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat this morning?"
Wen Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's have porridge! There are some steamed buns left over from last night, enough for both of us, but it seems there's no vegetables at home. You cook, and I'll go to the fields to pick some vegetables while it's still cool."
After the discussion, she returned to her room, found a shirt with sleeves to put on, then picked up her basket and walked towards the vegetable patch on the back hill.
It is cool in the morning, and the vegetables picked in the morning taste better than those picked at noon, so many military wives carry baskets to the vegetable fields.
She hadn't been home for several days, and the weeds in the vegetable garden were so tall that they were almost up to Wenjiu's calves. She put down her basket and started pulling out the weeds. It was already noon when she had pulled out all the weeds.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with Wenjiu, picked up the basket and started picking vegetables. The peppers had turned a lot redder, and there were more than a dozen eggplants that were ready to be eaten. The long beans were hanging high on the racks, and the cucumbers and beans were growing well. If they were not eaten soon, they would get old.
When she had picked so many vegetables that the basket could no longer hold them, she took off her long-sleeved shirt and used it. Finally, she was able to pick all the vegetables and put them in the basket.
But a big problem has arisen again.
She couldn't even lift the dishes.
Just as the wine was being warmed and prepared to be taken in two batches, Lin Xiulian came down from above carrying a basket.
She looked at the warm wine and smiled, "I just passed by and saw the vegetables in your field. I was thinking of going back to remind you to pick them! I didn't expect you to come."
"Can't you lift it?"
"Come on! I'll help you carry it!"
Lin Xiulian was eager to help Wenjiu carry the vegetables, but she had her own vegetable basket! Wenjiu was too embarrassed to ask her to carry it for him, so he asked her to help pull Baocai's shirt sleeve, and they each held up a sleeve and walked back.
"Your vegetables are growing so well. If you can't finish them, you can dry them in the sun. They will be delicious when there are no more vegetables in winter."
Wen Jiu said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, can you teach me how to do it?"
Although there is a refrigerator at home, the space it can hold is limited. She cannot put all the vegetables in it. They also cannot finish eating them in the short term, and the vegetables in the field will soon mature.
Being able to dry vegetables in the sun is indeed a good idea!
She had eaten dried beans stewed in an iron pot and they tasted delicious, but she didn't know how to cook them.
Lin Xiulian thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but you've never done it before. Even if I tell you, you probably won't be able to do it. If you have time, I'll bring my daughter to your house to teach you."
Wen Jiu was grateful, "I have time, thank you so much, sister-in-law."
Lin Xiulian didn't take it seriously, "Why thank me? It's not a big deal."
Her home was on the third floor opposite Wenjiu. When she returned to the courtyard, she put the vegetable basket under the tree in the yard, helped Wenjiu carry the vegetables home, and then hurried back to cook for her daughter.
Lu Qingqing heard the noise in the living room and came out of the kitchen and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want some water, I'll put some on the table for you."
She was afraid that she would be thirsty after warming the wine, so she filled the wine cup in advance.
Wenjiu was indeed thirsty. Hearing Lu Qingqing's words, she picked up the cup and drank it down. Soon the water in the cup was gone. She put the quilt back on the table and couldn't help sighing.
"Such a good girl, I don't know whose stinky boy will get her in the end!"
"Oh! Sister-in-law." After all, Lu Qingqing was a virgin and had a thin skin. She felt shy when someone casually said that to her while warming the wine.
But Wenjiu still had to say what she had to say. She held Lu Qingqing's hand and said, "Since we've come to this point, I'll say a few words to you. Aren't you going to start school soon? You'll meet a lot of men and women in college. It's normal for you to have feelings for the opposite sex at your age. You're very beautiful. Just like your brother Huaishan said, there will be a lot of boys chasing you. You have to be careful to judge whether they are good or bad. You can have more contact with them, but you have to take care to protect yourself. Don't feel that you are in love with them because of their sweet words or cheap efforts. You have to put yourself first at all times. Do you understand?"
"If you want to like someone, then like a man like your brother who is good and responsible, not a man who is only good to you. His kindness to you may change, but he is good to you. Even if something happens between you, he will not be willing to hurt you."
Wen Jiu really treats Lu Qingqing as his sister, that's why he said these things. Lu Qingqing has a simple personality and if others are a little bit nice to her, she will remember it and want to repay them. To put it nicely, she knows how to be grateful. To put it bluntly, she is the type of person that bad men like to hook up with the most. If Wen Jiu doesn't warn her in advance, he is really afraid that she will be deceived.
Because there is really a mixed bag in college. Some people look well-dressed, but they are actually wolves in sheep's clothing. Not all people who pass the college entrance examination screening are truly excellent.
Lu Qingqing was very shy at first, but when she saw Wen Jiu's serious expression, she knew that this matter was definitely very important.
"Sister-in-law, I've taken note of what you said, but I don't quite understand it. If I encounter the situation you described, I'll tell you, okay?"
My sister-in-law will definitely not harm her.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "No problem, just tell my sister-in-law if you have anything to say."
The sweat from warming the wine was almost dry while they were talking, so she went to the bathroom to wash her face. Lu Qingqing went to the kitchen to mix two cucumber salads and put the pickled vegetables on the plate and prepared to eat.
The thick porridge made with corn grits and broken rice, paired with home-pickled vegetables, is particularly fragrant and I always eat it with warm wine.
Thinking that the weather was hot, Lin Xiulian would bring her daughter over later to teach her how to dry the vegetables. After dinner, she warmed up the wine and cooked a pot of mung bean soup, adding rock sugar to it, which made it delicious.
"Beautiful auntie——"
Wenjiu heard the sound coming out of the room, and before he could stand steadily, the round, chubby little ball hugged his legs.
"Beautiful auntie——"
"Olaf likes it!"
Zhang Xuebao was not shy at all. She looked up at Wenjiu and showed him a brilliant smile. Wenjiu's heart was instantly captured by little Xuebao. He bent down, picked her up and praised her, "Xuebao is so good."
She was very cute. Although she was fat, her whole body was fair and tender, very cute. Her dark hair was braided into two pigtails, which swayed very lively.
