Chapter 20 Warm-hearted Lu Ping'an
Lu Ping'an couldn't help but think of the taste of peaches. The surface was pink and white, and a bite would reveal the white flesh wrapped in the skin, fresh and juicy...
His throat tightened inexplicably, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, his eyes staring straight at the bitten mouth that was stained with a bit of sparkle, his breathing seemed to be led away by Shen Xiaoyue, and it became disordered.
Shen Xiaoyue saw that he didn't speak and thought he was angry.
Put yourself in their shoes. After all, if someone makes her work hard to make soup and then comes late and ignores her, she will also be angry.
And very angry!
So Shen Xiaoyue's attitude softened a little, holding his arms with both hands and shaking them around coquettishly: "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me."
She was very close to him, and Lu Ping'an felt his arm rubbing against something soft, and a suspicious red color instantly appeared on his face.
"I... am not angry."
The voice was inexplicably hoarse.
Shen Xiaoyue didn't suspect anything. Lu Ping'an had always been good-tempered to her, so he wouldn't get angry over such a small matter.
But this sound doesn't sound right.
In her previous life, Shen Xiaoyue and Lu Ping'an's marriage was not a pure and flawless platonic marriage. Whether in public or in private, the two of them kissed each other until their lips were rotten. She knew every one of his reactions clearly and by heart.
The high nose bridge, sweat and tears, and the lingering and sad names when the love is deep.
A series of familiar yet distant images flashed through her mind, and the temperature of Shen Xiaoyue's already hot face rose a few degrees.
Now it has become two red apples looking at each other under the tree.
"cough."
Shen Xiaoyue felt that she was now an "old driver" with memories, and should not act so immature, so she took the initiative to dispel the thick atmosphere.
"It smells so good, can we start eating? I feel so hungry that I can chew three wild boars."
Yes, she just simply felt that today was not a suitable day for kissing, not because she was too hungry after knitting hats all afternoon.
Lu Ping'an laughed and unscrewed the thermos. The delicious aroma of the porcini and pheasant spread instantly, tempting her to lean forward unconsciously.
Shen Xiaoyue immediately took a few more breaths and looked at him eagerly.
Where’s the food? Can I have dinner today? The eager look is like a puppy waiting to be fed by its owner.
"Wipe it, the drool is flowing out from the corner of your mouth."
Shen Xiaoyue subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth. When she found it was dry, she realized that Lu Pingan was teasing her. She pouted and was about to get angry.
Lu Ping'an stuffed the thermos into her hands.
"Don't be in a hurry. Drink some soup first. Don't rush to eat. This soup is nutritious."
Shen Xiaoyue's slight anger was instantly wiped out.
"oh."
After taking a big sip, Shen Xiaoyue's eyes lit up.
"Delicious! So fresh!"
Seeing that she had almost finished drinking, Lu Ping'an handed her the white rice in his hand.
Each grain of white rice is distinct and plump like a pearl.
It is completely different from the mixed grains and coarse grains she usually eats.
Shen Xiaoyue suddenly realized that from her previous life to now, what Lu Pingan gave her seemed to exceed her own living standard.
Pheasants and rabbits can be caught, but rice will not appear out of thin air.
She didn’t care before. She just wanted Lu Ping’an to support her with the best things, so she didn’t care where these things came from.
"Lu Ping'an, give it all to me. I don't want anything from your house. You can take it back."
She was going to marry Lu Ping'an. In this age of food scarcity, if she ate more, the Lu family would have to eat less, and she felt uneasy.
Lu Ping'an explained softly: "It's okay, I bought these myself, it's okay, you can eat whatever you want."
Lu Ping'an is a picky eater and doesn't like hard, coarse grains. Whenever he earns money, he always buys some white rice.
Seeing Shen Xiaoyue’s surprised expression, Lu Ping’an hesitated for a moment before whispering, “I have a way to make money, don’t worry.”
Shen Xiaoyue was really shocked. She used to hear Lu Ping'an act coquettishly and say how hard it was for him to find her, and how he needed more kisses to get well. She thought Lu Ping'an got lucky and became rich during the reform and opening up period.
Now it seems that this kid has some talent for making money.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, but it turns out you are a talented and capable person.
I was deceived so badly at night.
She was furious when she thought about the many nights before they got married when Lu Ping'an stayed overnight by playing the victim and causing her to feel guilty.
Shen Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes and stared at him, silently accusing him, but unfortunately Lu Ping'an was now a pure and good young man, and he couldn't understand what she meant. He only knew that if he didn't eat, it would get cold.
"Eat quickly."
Lu Ping'an picked up a big chicken drumstick and put it into her bowl.
The pheasant jumped up and down in the mountains. The meat was tender and firm, and it was easy to fall off the bone. Shen Xiaoyue ate the meat and imagined the bone as someone's wrist, biting it with a "crunching" sound.
Lu Pingan: ...
It's strange, why would one be so murderous when eating a pheasant?
The pheasant was very big, and Shen Xiaoyue couldn't finish it, so she left half of it as usual.
Lu Pingan took it naturally and ate it all.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He caught the pheasant himself, picked the mushrooms himself, and made the soup himself. It couldn't be wasted, right?
Lu Ping'an nodded while eating. As expected of him, he had great talent in cooking. However, stewing soup did not require much technical skills, and he could not drink soup every meal. Next time, he would ask his mother to teach him how to cook.
The two stood up and took a walk along the stream to digest their food.
Shen Xiaoyue mentioned her idea for the afternoon. She wanted to make some colorful straw hats with Hu Qingqing and sell them in the county town during their break.
She had originally planned to go to the county town for an on-site investigation, but there was a more reliable person next to her, so of course she wouldn't be polite.
"As for colors, there are many plants in the back mountain that can be used for dyeing. Well, there are many wild mulberries here. Mulberries alone can be used to dye into several colors."
Discovering mulberries was a pleasant surprise.
Lu Ping'an had been in the black market for quite some time, and when he knew there was a market for it, he immediately expressed his support.
"If the cloth coupons are not enough, I have a lot here."
Chen Xiaoyue frowned, looking distressed: "I can't use the cloth coupons for the time being, but what if I can't sell them?"
Lu Pingan didn’t care too much: “If I really can’t sell it, I’ll buy it. I won’t let you go hungry.”
“Lu Ping’an, are you going to support me?”
This time Shen Xiaoyue laughed out loud, saying that she disagreed to be with her, but her actions were another.
But this is also very cute, the cuteness of saying one thing and thinking another.
Lu Pingan turned his head away unnaturally: "I'm just eager to help others."
"Oh......" Shen Xiaoyue deliberately dragged out her voice, not disguising the teasing in her tone at all.
She gently bumped Lu Ping'an's shoulder and said, "You are so kind-hearted."
