The two walked all the way to the courtyard. The tall man and the soft woman, even though they were half a meter apart, had an inexplicable sense of fit.
Lu Chenghuai was carrying two buckets of water, but he walked as if he were walking on the ground. In fact, he walked slower because he was taking care of Xu Sui.
It was more than 200 meters, and it took only a few minutes.
Lu Chenghuai poured the bucket into the vat. He was now wearing a snow-white long-sleeved shirt, and the cuffs were inevitably stained with water.
He unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, and with his light brown arms he put the bucket under the eaves, and handed over an enamel cup with a lotus print on it.
The weather was hot, so Xu Sui didn't make tea, but poured a glass of boiled water.
Lu Chenghuai took it, raised his head and his Adam's apple moved slightly, then he finished the glass of water.
Although the wind was strong on the island, it was still a bit stuffy. I walked all the way in long sleeves and beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.
Xu Sui handed the cloth bag to 놛.
Lu Chenghuai lowered his eyes, "No need to give it to me, this was originally meant for you."
"The lunch box has been cleaned and put inside. The braised pork you made is delicious."
"I like it." Xu Sui raised her lips, her slightly upturned eyes were gentle and graceful, and her eyes were like a clear spring.
These eyes were so beautiful when they smiled, and Lu Chenghuai just felt the air getting inexplicably hot again.
The two haven't confirmed their relationship yet, and a single man and a single woman can't stay in the same courtyard forever.
Not long after Lu Chenghuai left, Xu Mian also came back from outside.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were still playing with their friends, so she came back to cook first.
Looking at the things on the living room table, Xu Mian asked in surprise, "Did Captain Lu send these?"
On the table were two canned meats, a box of cakes, and even a jar of pomegranate wine in a glass jar. It looked really pretty in its bright red color.
Only Captain Lu could be so generous.
"It was given to me by you. You just fetched some water for me." Xu Sui had just opened the bag.
These things are not sold on the island, they must have been sent from home.
"Captain Lu is a very sincere person." Xu Mian smiled and narrowed his eyes.
It's better to be practical, not to do those empty words, at least be willing to spend money and give gifts. Some men don't even want to spend a penny on a date, and still hope that women can be understanding.
She asked, "Have you and Captain Lu confirmed this?"
Xu Sui shook her head. "Not yet. I have to leave tonight and will probably be back in September."
She has a crush on Lu Chenghuai, otherwise she wouldn't accept anything from him.
But part of this good impression comes from the reality level, 놛's family background, and 냭's stable development path. The other part is 놛's character and personality. He is not the kind of impetuous man.
But these good feelings were not enough for her to decide to marry him after just a few meetings.
Xu Mian was not in a hurry. "Anyway, you have found a job, so you are stable now. If you like it, you can be with me. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter."
She was quite satisfied with Captain Lu, but nothing could beat the feelings of her own sister.
Xu Sui put the things away. She didn't plan to move them. If they didn't work out in the future, she would return them.
"Sister, I'm going to write a letter home. Do you have anything to say? Let's send it together." Xu Sui asked.
Now that she had decided to stay here, she should write a letter to tell her family about everything she had experienced here.
Xu Mian thought for a moment and said, "Just write it down and ask our parents how they are doing."
"good."
Xu Sui returned to her room and spread out the letter paper.
Her handwriting was the same as the original owner's, so there was no need to worry about anyone noticing anything unusual.
She wrote a very long letter, and apart from the blind date, she wrote about every detail, big and small.
Only your parents will not think you are too wordy. The more detailed you write, the more at ease they will feel.
Although she had not been with the Xu family for a long time, Xu Sui still loved her family very much and missed them a little.
Xu Sui wrote five pages of letter paper, folded them and put them in an envelope.
It was getting late, so she decided to mail it tomorrow.
At the other end of the family compound, Shi Hong had just returned home.
Du Rantong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and a set of exquisite tea sets was placed on the coffee table.
Their son sat at the desk in the corner of the living room, practicing calligraphy with his back straight.
Shi Hong frowned, "Why are you still writing so late? You'll go blind in a little while. Shitou, stop writing and go have some rest."
Du Rantong rolled her eyes. "You've learned to be a good person. It would be better for you to write and draw at home, so you don't have to go out and play with those wild kids and become a wild kid yourself."
After being married for many years, Shi Hong had already gotten used to her somewhat harsh words.
In addition, I also feel that my child is different from other children.
놛 is a rough man, and he likes his children to have some 뀗human qualities.
Shi Hong sat down, drank a sip of tea, and sighed comfortably.
Du Rantong couldn't stand the slurping sound he made when drinking tea, so she moved aside a little in disgust.
Shi Hong didn't care about it and talked about the interesting things that happened today, "I told you earlier that our new team leader Lu is almost thirty years old and still single. I didn't expect that he had just arrived on the island for a short time and something happened."
"What's going on?" Du Rantong sat up straight.
She knew Captain Lu. He was a typical young man from a wealthy family. Although she had never met him, she heard from Shi Hong that he was not bad looking. That was why she didn't understand why Captain Lu was still single.
Du Rantong understood it. She thought that a talent like Captain Lu should find someone of equal status, with both talent and beauty. It was the army that was delayed.
For someone like her, if she had not been a small business owner in the city, she would not have married a rough man like Shi Hong.
"She is the younger sister of Xu Bing's wife. I have never seen her, but I heard that she is very beautiful. Today, she even sent braised pork to Captain Lu. Her cooking skills are not bad." Shi Hong said lightly, "It is said that Captain Lu has high standards. I didn't expect that she really wants the most beautiful one."
"Captain Lu is not such a superficial person!" Du Rantong put the book in her hand aside, feeling a little depressed.
Du Rantong asked, "Captain Xu's wife's hometown is in the countryside, right?"
"Yes, she and Xu Bing are from the same place."
"How could Captain Lu fall for a country woman? How vulgar!" Du Rantong couldn't understand and her voice became a little sharp.
Many children in the compound had learned all the bad habits of country folk from their parents. There was black dirt in the cracks between their fingernails, which kept rolling on the ground, not to mention that there might be snot on their sleeves.
She never wanted to play with us by herself.
Shi Hong's hometown is in the countryside, and although he had heard her despise these things many times, he still glared at her.
"What's wrong with coming from the countryside? That girl is young, pretty and stylish. She's going to study to be a teacher soon. She's also a member of the working class."
