Chapter 97: Wipe the eye
mucus Shen Meng was half asleep with Ming Kai in her arms, but in the middle of the night she felt as if she was covered by a stove. She had escaped several times but was caught back. She thought that she could not tell the story of Red Boy again next time, because Shancai Boy might be angry and wanted to heat her to death.
Morning.
It was already dawn outside, and Shen Meng was sleeping soundly. Suddenly her head was lifted. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and what she saw was a large area of tanned abdominal muscles. She was stunned for a moment, and then she let out a "hiss", and her eyes widened instantly. Her sight slowly looked up, passing over the man's solid chest, Adam's apple, thin lips, handsome nose and deep, teasing eyes.
"Awake?"
"You you you, me me me, why are you in my quilt? Shouldn't you be in a bright and sunny room?"
Shen Meng's body retreated in shock. Seeing that her elbow was about to poke Ming Kai's head, Lu Zhenping grabbed her with his big hand and hugged her in front of him. The movement was too big and Shen Meng's face hit his chest. When she raised her head, their eyes met and they didn't speak for a long time.
Lu Zhenping looked at her somewhat flustered eyes and couldn't help but chuckled.
Shen Meng's heart tightened when she heard his laughter. This was the first time she was hugged by a man in her life. Her heart was in her throat. Looking at the handsome man, she swallowed her saliva.
The woman was slender and petite, and she looked like a frightened rabbit when she looked at him. In the early morning, Lu Zhenping's heart was agitated. He grabbed Shen Meng's big hand and pressed her towards him heavily. The two of them hugged each other.
Shen Meng's head buzzed, and she felt dizzy. She didn't know how to respond to Lu Zhenping, or whether to push him aside.
Lu Zhenping's breathing became heavier. He lowered his head and buried his face in Shen Meng's shoulder. He smelled the faint fragrance of the woman, and his restless heart was soothed for a moment. He turned his head and looked at his two troublesome children. He gritted his teeth and didn't continue, although he knew in his heart that his wife might not let him do as he wished.
"Sleep a little longer, I'll go cook. Don't think too much early in the morning. Wipe your eye mucus when you get up."
!!!
Shen Meng was stunned for a while when she heard Lu Zhenping's words. Thinking about the atmosphere between the two of them just now, she shouldn't say such a thing. It was really a bit too much to say so.
Thinking so, she still raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes. When she looked at her fingertips, there was nothing. Shen Meng was so angry that she wanted to hammer Lu Zhenping's head.
She rolled back and forth on the kang twice before calming down the little flame in her heart. Thinking that Lu Zhenping would definitely come back in a while after going out, she hurried to the space. She
screamed a few times, went to the bathroom to rinse, washed her hair, and used essential oils to care for her hair before leaving the space.
He hadn't had a proper bath for several days, and it was a miracle that he didn't faint when Lu Zhenping came over.
Shen Meng put on her clothes and stretched her back before leaving. She remembered that she had told Mingyang that she would go to school to thank the teacher, so she found a basket and took out a bag of dried vegetables and dried mushrooms from southern Yunnan from the hut. These were all ready to eat after soaking. There was also a large bag of rice noodles that Lu Zhenping had picked up from the post office yesterday.
She had a lot of these in her space, and they were easy to make, so she gave some to the teacher as well.
She heard from Mingfang that this teacher was a former sent-down youth who could have returned to the city, but she couldn't bear to leave when she saw the children in the school. Her family asked her to stay for another five years, otherwise she would never go home again. Now it has been the fourth year. Shen Meng is very lucky that Mingyang's three children can meet such a good teacher, and she also admires this teacher very much.
A fragrance wafted from the kitchen. Shen Meng packed up the things and went to the kitchen again. She took out a cloth bag and scooped out a bag full of rice and put it in.
"You packed so many things so early in the morning. Are you going back to your mother's house?"
Lu Zhenping said this with some annoyance. He shouldn't have said that to Shen Meng just now. He just suddenly had a dull mind and didn't know how he was pulled out of that atmosphere. He said this for some reason.
"No, these are to thank Mingyang and his friends' teacher. Ever since the three children started school, Teacher Zheng has taken special care of them. I heard from Mingfang that Teacher Zheng's grandfather is a veteran, so he is very partial to them. Sometimes when something happens at home, Mingyang and his friends are late for school or don't go to school, Teacher Zheng will come home late and free up his time to tutor the children. We should thank such a good teacher." Lu
Zhenping breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she was not angry because he said something wrong.
"Okay, I'll cook some sweet potato porridge and some eggs. I'll cook whatever you want."
Shen Meng kept her head down while working, not wanting to look him in the eye. What happened in the morning was really embarrassing.
"It's all right. You decide!"
Lu Zhenping was about to say something when he saw her red ears. His eyes immediately filled with smiles. He turned around and coughed twice.
"Okay."
After picking up her things, Shen Meng turned around to go out. Lu Zhenping put down the fire stick in his hand and called her.
"Xiao Meng, I've been home for two days and we haven't had a good talk yet. You sit down, I'll go get something, wait for me."
Shen Meng hesitated, and Lu Zhenping didn't give her a chance to refuse. After going out, he came back soon. He moved a stool and sat in front of Shen Meng and put his bag on the ground.
"This home visit leave is quite long. I can stay at home for more than three months. In addition to the things I took the day before yesterday, I have some money to give to you. This is the little salary I saved, the bonus I received, and the money returned by my comrades. Together, there are nearly two thousand. There are also some receipts. Please keep them all. There is one thing I have to tell you in advance. Our regiment may need to be reorganized. If my luck is bad, I may have to retire. But don't worry, the army will make arrangements for me, and I will obey all orders."
Shen Meng was stunned for a moment when she looked at the money and bills in her hand, and then she realized the unspeakable reluctance in Lu Zhenping's tone. She knew the inseparable friendship that soldiers had for the army, and she could not empathize with him, so she could only reach out and pat Lu Zhenping's hand gently to comfort him.
The latter was obviously taking advantage of Shen Meng and grabbed her hand.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm a man, the pillar of the family, even if I'm not in the army, I won't let you and the children suffer."
"I know, but can you let me go first?"
Lu Zhenping grabbed her hand tightly, telling her with his strength that it was obviously not possible.
