Chapter 7: Quarrel
In the late afternoon, under the scorching sun, the sound of cicadas was heard. Lu Jun was repairing a van in the yard. Liang Jingxuan squatted beside him, watching with his head tilted, and handed him tools from time to time. When he saw Lu Sui coming back, he ran into the house in a flash.
Lu Sui was a little irritable, "Fuck..."
The soldier looked at him with a ferocious look on his face and shrank his neck. "What are you looking at? I'll go carry the corn later..."
Lu Sui was too lazy to pay attention to him. He opened the hood of the van, took a quick look, opened the door, and folded down the driver's seat. "The engine must be broken. We need to replace it."
Lu Jun was half-believing and half-doubting, "That kid Li Ying also said so. I thought he was lying to me..."
Lu Sui, "..."
"It's good enough that you don't lie to others!"
"Hey! How can you talk like that? I'm half your father after all." The Army raised the wrench, then put it down angrily.
Lu Sui strode into the house. There was no one in the living room. There were a few White Rabbit milk candies scattered on the round table. The TV was still on, playing "The Legend of the Pig".
"Is Suizi back?" Song Huizi was in the kitchen.
"It's me, Second Aunt." Lu Sui walked towards the kitchen, green smoke rose slowly and lingered on the hanging beams. Liang Jingxuan was squatting in front of the stove with her back to him, breaking off dry branches on the ground and throwing them into the stove from time to time. There was a wooden steamer on a large pot roasting wine, and one could smell the sweet aroma of wine when one got a little closer.
"What kind of wine are you brewing?" Lu Sui snorted, but couldn't smell anything. Song Huizi took a little bit of it in a blue and white porcelain bowl and handed it to him, "Try it!"
Lu Sui took a sip and pursed his lips. "Pomegranate wine?"
Song Huizi smiled and said, "Yes!" She took another blue and white porcelain bowl and took a little bit, "Xuanbao, do you want to drink?"
"Hah!" Liang Jingxuan's face was smoked like a cat by the smoke, probably because he was too close to the stove. Song Huizi wiped it for him while smiling, "Don't get so close next time!"
Liang Jingxuan held the bowl and nodded obediently, "Okay!"
After applying the makeup, Liang Jingxuan's face was soft and pink, her lips were slightly open, her lively little eyes seemed a little swollen, her thin eyelids were pink, and her thick eyelashes were trembling quietly...
Lu Sui licked his cracked lips...
"Xiao Sui?" Song Huizi thought he wanted to drink more.
"Ah? That second auntie... I'm going to take a bath first..." Lu Sui put the bowl on the stove and left, Liang Jingxuan followed reluctantly...
After taking a shower, Lu Sui was naked from the waist up, wearing a pair of large shorts on his lower body, with a muscular body full of male hormones, and water droplets hanging on his chest and abdominal muscles. He wiped himself casually with a dry towel and went to the room.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Liang Jingxuan, who had done something bad, was like a frightened young deer, and was about to run away in panic. Lu Sui's eyes darkened and he grabbed him, "Why are you running?!" Liang Jingxuan pouted, "My husband is bad! My husband... is bad...!" Lu Sui saw the debris on the ground and his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. It was his underwear!
Glancing coldly at Liang Jingxuan, he shuddered, "Hubby... I was wrong..." Tears fell down his cheeks, Lu Sui sneered, the bad nature in his bones was aroused by the soft plea for mercy from this little fool, he couldn't help but want to see him cry more pitifully!
The rough hands pinched his mouth, crushing his intermittent crying...
Liang Jingxuan pushed Lu Sui away fiercely and burst into tears hysterically, sniffling and complaining, "Husband, you hit me... You are bad! I will not be your wife anymore...!"
"What's wrong with Xuanbao? Why are you crying?!" Lu Jun heard the crying and walked into the house with a wrench. Lu Sui didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly covered Liang Jingxuan's mouth. "No, you heard it wrong!"
Then he stared at Liang Jingxuan with dark eyes and said viciously, "If you cry again, I will beat you!"
Liang Jingxuan shuddered violently, sobbing and shaking his head, his hot tears falling on Lu Sui's hands, "If you don't cry, I'll let you go!"
Liang Jingxuan nodded vigorously, and Lu Sui smiled jokingly. If he had known that coercion and inducement were so effective, he would not have to endure it so uncomfortably before.
As soon as his hand moved away, Liang Jingxuan pulled back and bit it hard. Lu Sui let out a "hiss!" Liang Jingxuan's teeth were very thin and sharp, like a kitten's.
Once he caught her, she wouldn't let go. Lu Sui pinched the back of his neck and pulled her out with force, leaving a bloody tooth mark on her dark arm.
Before Lu Sui could settle the score with him, Liang Jingxuan stepped on him heavily again, opened the door, and ran out in a flash, "Second uncle, second aunt, my husband hit me!"
He cried and shouted fiercely, and rushed into Song Huizi's arms, hugging her tightly. Lu Jun felt something was wrong just now, and now he saw that his eyes were swollen from crying. He held the wrench in his hand, "Lu Sui, get out of here! When will it be your turn to be the boss of this family!"
"Oh, don't be impulsive, the two children may have misunderstood!" Lu Sui was raised by Song Huizi, and she knew his temper and character best.
Lu Sui casually put on a vest and came out like a wolf. He raised his hand to show them, "He bit it!"
Lu Jun and Song Huizi looked at Liang Jingxuan, "You were the one who covered my mouth first!" He said as he burst into tears, and Song Huizi couldn't wipe them away with both hands, "Xuanbao, don't cry..."
"Why are you covering Xuanbao's mouth?" Lu Jun pointed at Lu Sui's nose with a wrench, "He cut off all my underwear!"
"You hit me first! And you hit me so many times, and each time was very hard..." Liang Jingxuan said as he was about to pull his pants down, "Hey, Xuanbao, no, no!" Song Huizi hurriedly pulled up the pants she had pulled down.
A scalding hot stream rushed to his brain. Lu Sui's eyes turned red with stimulation. He suddenly pulled him over and raised his hands to hit him, "Uncle! Aunt, save me..." He had not hit him twice before he was separated by Lu Jun and Song Huizi.
"Xiao Sui, let's talk it over nicely!" Song Huizi protected Liang Jingxuan behind her. Lu Jun stood between them and pressed a wrench against Lu Sui. "You little bastard, you've grown so strong that you even dare to hit your wife!"
Lu Sui grabbed the wrench and said, "You didn't beat your wife?! What qualifications do you have to criticize me?!"
Lu Jun was choked for a moment, but quickly hit back, "Then you don't acknowledge Xuan Bao, do you? She's not your wife, why do you hit her?!"
Lu Sui was speechless after being rebuked. He threw the wrench to the ground and rushed out of the door with big strides!
"Xiao Sui!" Song Huizi wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by the army. "Don't chase him. Don't you know him? Where else can he go except under the osmanthus tree!"
Song Huizi was still worried, "You watch Xuanbao!" She hurriedly chased after him. Sure enough, Lu Sui was under the osmanthus tree, his eyebrows and eyes were gloomy and fierce, and his whole body exuded a sense of "keep away from strangers". Song Huizi did not disturb him and went back to the house.
Lu Jun was peeling White Rabbit candy. "Xuanbao, don't cry. Tomorrow when the van is repaired, I'll take you to the market in town and buy you some silk dolls and fried potatoes with lots of Houttuynia cordata, okay?"
Liang Jingxuan cried so hard that her tears were about to fall, but they were stuck in her eyelashes, sticking together into strands. "Okay..."
Lu Jun stuffed the peeled White Rabbit candy into his mouth and raised his hand to hook the tip of his nose, "Little glutton!"
Liang Jingxuan chewed White Rabbit candy and said stickily, "I'm not a little gluttonous cat, I'm Xuanbao..."
Song Huizi was amused and wiped away the two remaining tears at the end of his eyes. "Your eyes are swollen. If you keep crying, they will swell into little peaches!"
"Ah! Xiao Taozi, I don't want to..." Liang Jingxuan covered his eyes, "Don't cry!" Lu Jun also imitated his tone, "Yes, don't cry!"
Song Huizi gently covered Liang Jingxuan's ears and said to Lu Jun in a low voice, "Don't be so partial to Xiao Sui in the future..."
The corner of Lu Jun's mouth twitched. "How am I biased? I raised him up and sent him to college, but he joined Team B without saying a word. He only came back once in five or six years. What else can I do to let him down? I don't owe him anything... He owes me!"
"Okay, stop talking!" Song Huizi pulled him. Liang Jingxuan couldn't hear clearly, but he could feel that Lu Jun was angry. He peeled a White Rabbit candy and put it to his mouth, "Second uncle...you eat it too!"
Lu Jun's expression changed instantly, "Our Xuanbao is still obedient! He doesn't care about you, that's because he is short-sighted. I will find you a new husband, one who is 100 times better than him!"
Liang Jingxuan shook her head, "No... I just want my husband..."
Army, "..."
Song Huizi pinched his face, smiled softly and said, "Okay, I want Xiao Sui!"
The sun set in the west, the evening mist was red and narrow, and Lu Sui's burly figure never moved under the osmanthus tree. Liang Jingxuan moved the sofa to the window, knelt on the sofa, leaned on the windowsill and looked out furtively.
Song Huizi finished cooking, took off her apron and walked out, "Auntie, where are you going?"
"I'll go call Xiao Sui for dinner."
"I'll go!" Liang Jingxuan got down from the sofa, and Song Huizi nodded, "Okay, you go!"
Liang Jingxuan trotted out, and when she was only a few steps away from Lu Sui, she began to tremble again and poked her finger, "Hubby...it's time to eat..."
Lu Sui's brows were tightly locked, his face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a rainstorm, and the branch in his hand broke with a "snap". "Husband..." Liang Jingxuan approached timidly, "Husband... are you still angry? Otherwise, I'll hit you..." As he spoke, he raised his hand.
Lu Sui, "..."
Leaning to the side, Liang Jingxuan also leaned to the side and looked at him with his head tilted, "Hubby... I was wrong, I'll go to the market, I'll buy you a lot of underwear, don't be angry..."
Lu Sui, "..."
She glanced at him coldly and said, "Get away!"
Liang Jingxuan nodded heavily, "I can do this, but I have to take off my clothes before rolling, otherwise they will get dirty. Husband, can you help me hold the clothes, okay?"
Lu Sui, "..."
Liang Jingxuan pulled his pants without hesitation. The veins on Lu Sui's neck popped up instantly. He grabbed his hand and held it tightly, "Don't take it off!"
