Chapter 269 Someone is Dead
Su Lu stared in shock at the fully automatic washing machine. "This thing can wash itself as soon as it's plugged in?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Absolutely, it's amazing."
Qin Xiaoxiao said that she was also a newbie and didn't know anything, but she was quite shocked.
Su Lu stared at the washing machine with a complicated expression for a long time before letting Qin Xiaoxiao put it into her spatial storage.
"Let me see it again when our village gets electricity."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "No problem."
Su Lu narrowed his eyes and remarked with emotion, "Technology is truly amazing. They've developed such advanced technology. This space must not be a modern invention. I'm afraid even with our country's strength, we won't be able to solve it within the next hundred years."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
Not only China, but the whole world will not be able to figure it out within the next hundred years.
Su Lu continued, "The advent of washing machines frees up hands and liberates women. If every household in our village had one, there would be far fewer conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded again.
It's not that advanced yet, so you still have to wash it manually a second time. Of course, if you have plenty of water at home, you can use a washing machine. (These are old-fashioned washing machines; I don't know if people born in the 2000s have even seen them. You can look them up online.)
The couple stopped talking there. Qin Xiaoxiao went into her space under Su Lu's envious gaze, planning to make more yogurt and some dough. She planned to steam more buns and other steamed bread with Su Lu at home tomorrow so they could just take them out to eat when they didn't feel like cooking.
Half an hour later, Qin Xiaoxiao came out of the space. As soon as she appeared, Su Lu hugged her and sealed her lips with his before she could speak.
Su Lu's hands, which were around Qin Xiaoxiao's lower back, were trembling. No one knew what he had gone through in the past half hour. It was as if a part of his heart had been ripped out. He couldn't express the panic and helplessness he felt, as if he had lost the whole world. He could only soothe his fear with kisses.
Sensing the fear in Su Lu's heart, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly calmed down and let Su Lu kiss her.
After a long, tender moment, Su Lu gradually calmed down.
"Honey, you should probably use the virtual space less often when I'm home."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't ask, and nodded, "Okay, actually I can control things in the space even if I don't go in, it's just a bit troublesome."
Easily fatigued.
Su Lu kissed Qin Xiaoxiao's cheek. "Wife, we didn't get to eat meat yesterday, but we can have some today, right?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, she hugged Su Lu and kissed him.
In the middle of the night, Su Lu, who was sleeping soundly with Qin Xiaoxiao in his arms, heard a commotion outside. He frowned slightly, pulled Qin Xiaoxiao closer to his chest, covered her ears with his large hands, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Su Lu opened his eyes and saw Qin Xiaoxiao sleeping in his arms with her face flushed and her mouth slightly open, snoring softly. He couldn't help but chuckle and plant a kiss on the corner of her lips.
Su Lu stopped sleeping and stared at Qin Xiaoxiao for a long time, propping his head up with his hand. The more he looked, the more he felt that Qin Xiaoxiao was a little prettier than yesterday, and of course, much prettier than when she first arrived.
Thinking of the scene when the two first met, Su Lu chuckled to himself.
Qin Xiaoxiao seemed disturbed by Su Lu's laughter. She frowned, turned over, faced inward, and went back to sleep with her back to Su Lu.
Seeing that his wife had rolled to the other side and could get her arm out, Su Lu quickly dressed, got out of bed quietly, opened the door, slipped out, and then quietly closed the door behind him.
Just as I stepped out of the back gate of the educated youth compound, I saw Qin Erzhu standing by the back gate, rubbing his hands together and looking into the compound.
Upon seeing Su Lu emerge, Qin Erzhu immediately stepped forward, greeting him with a smile, "Brother, you're finally awake. Something happened last night."
Su Lu rolled her eyes at Qin Erzhu, "You've been waiting here all morning just to tell me this?"
Why can't we just discuss what to eat right after we get up in the morning? Why bring up other things?
Qin Erzhu leaned closer to Su Lu and whispered, "Brother, aren't you the one who loves to join in the fun? I didn't see you last night and thought something had happened to you, so I've been waiting here since early this morning."
Su Lu frowned. "Why would I be chatting with a bunch of bachelors at night instead of sleeping soundly with my wife? Well, none of you have wives, so you don't know how good it is to have one."
Qin Erzhu's lips twitched when he was unexpectedly hit in the face by Su Luxuan.
So what if you have a wife? It's like nobody else does… He doesn't, boohoo…
If it were anyone else, Qin Erzhu would have stormed off in anger long ago, but since it was Su Lu, he had no choice but to endure it.
"Brother, someone died in the village last night."
Qin Erzhu didn't want to see Su Lu bragging about getting married before them, so he immediately got to the point.
Su Lu was taken aback upon hearing this. "Which family's elder has passed away? The Su family's?"
Could it be that his great-uncle or second great-uncle have passed away? His fourth uncle would also work!
Qin Erzhu twitched his lips, his sharp eyes catching a fleeting glimpse of anticipation in Su Lu's eyes.
Qin Erzhu shook his head expressionlessly. "No."
Dejected, Su Lu nodded listlessly, "Oh, I see."
No wonder it was so noisy outside last night; it must have been the deceased's family members wailing at the funeral.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Erzhu added, "Yu Shitou is dead."
Su Lu was lost in thought, wondering what he and Qin Xiao had eaten that morning, when he suddenly heard Qin Erzhu say that Yu Shitou was dead. He was immediately stunned and picked at his ear in disbelief, "Who? Who did you say died?"
Qin Erzhu repeated it again with a stern face.
After listening, Su Lu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly turned around and rushed into the educated youth compound.
"Bang!"
The door behind him was casually closed by Su Lu, and Qin Erzhu, who was about to follow him in, almost bumped his nose and bled.
Qin Erzhu covered his nose, squatted on the ground in pain, glared at the door with gritted teeth, wanting to say something but not daring to, and could only hold back.
"Wife, wife, get up quickly, something terrible has happened."
Su Lu rushed into the house and rummaged through drawers and cabinets to find clothes for Qin Xiaoxiao.
He washed all the clothes from yesterday, and even threw the pajamas he had just put on on the floor. He wasn't going to find clothes for his wife, because he was afraid Qin Xiaoxiao would beat him up when she got up.
He pulled out a pair of black trousers and a red sweater, but after thinking for a moment, he put the red sweater back in.
He wore a red sweater to Yu's house because he was afraid his wife would get beaten up.
Su Lu rummaged through the drawers again and found a thin green cotton-padded jacket at the bottom, which he casually placed next to Qin Xiaoxiao's pillow.
"Wife, get up quickly, I'll take you to see the hot... no, something happened to the Yu family, I'll take you to the funeral."
He picked up Qin Xiaoxiao from her sleep and dressed her himself.
Qin Xiaoxiao reached out her hand while still dazed, and the two worked together seamlessly, as if Su Lu was dressing Qin Xiaoxiao for the second time.
Although they had only been married for four days, Qin Xiaoxiao had already gotten used to Su Lu doing everything himself. She didn't even have to lift a finger to eat a candy; Su Lu would peel the wrapper and put it in her mouth without her having to lift a finger.
