"Ouch, that hurts."
"Bear with it."
Huo Jun didn't care about Liu Cuicui's feelings; he just vented his anger greedily.
No wonder all the brothers are thinking about getting married.
This whole ordeal lasted until well past midnight.
Liu Cuicui, who initially felt uncomfortable, became completely absorbed in the experience.
Hmph! Su Wantang, just wait and see, you'll be living the life of a widow for the rest of your life!
As dawn broke, Liu Cuicui drifted off to sleep with a sweet and happy smile on her face.
I woke up at the same time as usual.
After washing up, Su Wantang pushed her bicycle and prepared to go to the county to buy groceries.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Huai'an was standing there.
I don't know how long he stood there.
Seeing her come out, he said, "I'll go with you."
"Aren't you going to work?"
"Ask for leave."
Upon hearing this, Su Wantang did not refuse. There was free labor available, so why not take advantage of it? She had already taken leave, so why waste it?
The two rode their bicycles, one after the other, out of the military base.
Because she had planned to go to the county town today, Su Wantang didn't eat in the canteen, but instead went to a state-run restaurant for a treat.
Lu Huai'an didn't say anything, he just obediently took out his money and paid for the tickets.
Su Wantang's meaningful gaze fell on him.
It turns out they had a secret stash of money hidden away.
Seemingly understanding the meaning in Su Wantang's eyes, Lu Huai'an took the initiative to explain.
"If I borrow their allowance, I might not be able to pay it next month."
Su Wantang, whose thoughts had been exposed, felt somewhat guilty.
"I didn't ask you that."
"So what do you want to ask?"
"nothing."
"Um... I'm starting work now, and I'll have a salary from now on, so you don't need to give me your allowance."
Lu Huai'an changed the subject: "Let's eat first."
Su Wantang realized that this was a veiled rejection from him, and considering his chauvinistic nature, she didn't say anything more.
At worst, I'll just accept it. Anyway, she doesn't spend it. I can just give it back to him after the divorce.
After breakfast, Su Wantang went to buy the ingredients she needed for cooking today.
After buying three catties of pork belly, half a catty of spare ribs, potatoes, some vegetables, fruit candies, milk candies, and some snacks for the children, Su Wantang felt that was enough and headed home.
Lu Huai'an had packed everything neatly and hung it on the handlebars of his old-fashioned bicycle, while Su Wantang's women's bicycle went there and returned with ease.
Once home, Su Wantang immediately got busy.
There are quite a few dishes to cook today, a total of seven.
Braised pork belly, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stewed pork with vermicelli, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Four meat dishes and three vegetable dishes—it's quite impressive and won't embarrass Lu Huai'an.
Therefore, Su Wantang did not refuse when Lu Huai'an offered to help.
The two of them continued working quietly without exchanging a word.
Before we knew it, it was 11:30. Li Lei's wife, Wang Fang, came to help with their two sons.
"Wantang, are you home?"
"sister in law."
"Huai'an?"
The two boys next to Wang Fang also called out, "Uncle Lu."
Seeing Lu Huai'an's rolled-up sleeves, Wang Fang guessed what was going on and joked with a smile, "Your Li Tuan was worried that Wan Tang would be tired from cooking for so many people, so he specially told me to come and help early. I came right after picking up the kids."
"However, I think it's unnecessary now."
Lu Huai'an didn't blush at Wang Fang's teasing; he maintained his usual cold expression.
"Sister-in-law, come in."
Wang Fang shook her head inwardly. How could Wan Tang possibly stand this lump of ice?
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Li Zhengguo grabbed his younger brother Li Aiguo's hand and ran into the fragrant kitchen.
He called out in a clear voice, "Auntie."
Su Wantang, who had just finished cooking a dish, paused for a moment when she heard the familiar voice.
"Li Zhengguo, what brings you here?"
"Auntie, I've come to warm Uncle Lu's house."
She was so busy she was confused. If she wasn't familiar with it, why would Lu Huai'an have called them over to let her practice acupuncture?
"Auntie, what did you make? It smells so good!"
"Li Zhengguo! You've brought your brother along to cause trouble again!"
At this moment, Wang Fang, who had already noticed that the two were missing, arrived with her voice before she did.
"Mom, I just came over to say hello to Auntie. I didn't do anything wrong. You can ask Auntie if you don't believe me." Li Zhengguo, afraid of having his ears pulled, hid behind Lu Huai'an and said quickly.
"Sister-in-law, that's true."
"That's right!"
"You still have the nerve to talk?!" Wang Fang glared at him, and Li Zhengguo immediately became obedient.
She turned to Su Wantang and said, "Wantang, I'm sorry you had to laugh at him. This kid is tough."
"Without his sister-in-law, Zhengguo is doing well; he hasn't caused any trouble."
No mother dislikes others praising her child, and Wang Fang's smile deepened.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down."
Su Wantang took out the snacks she bought yesterday from the cabinet and gave Li Zhengguo a big handful.
Wang Fang quickly stopped her, saying, "That won't do, there's too much."
“Sister-in-law, this is a token of Wan Tang’s appreciation, please don’t refuse it.”
Since Lu Huai'an said that, Wang Fang felt embarrassed to refuse. Seeing her nod, Li Zhengguo put the candy in his pocket.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Li Aiguo's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as he echoed, "Thank you, Auntie."
Wang Fang was just saying it casually, but she didn't sit for long before going inside to help.
Not long after, another woman, Zhou Tian's mother, arrived. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she immediately went into the kitchen to help.
Su Wantang was somewhat dazed.
Who knew a housewarming party could be like this?
Everyone came to help, so there was no need to sit at separate tables and hide in the kitchen.
Around midnight, everyone gradually arrived.
The food was also served.
Just as dinner was about to be served, Huo Jun and Liu Cuicui arrived uninvited.
