Seeing Lu Yuan return, she quickly put down the towel in her hand.
"You're back. Go take a shower quickly, and I'll apply the medicine again after you're done."
She then handed him the thermos on the table and whispered, "This is full of spiritual spring water. Use this water when washing your back, and the wound won't get infected."
Lu Yuan hadn't expected her to be so considerate and thoughtful.
"Thanks!"
She took clean clothes out to take a shower, and when she came back, she was still drying her hair.
I usually see her with two long braids, her hair reaching her waist. Now that it's down, it looks even longer.
"Your hair isn't dry yet?" he asked casually.
Wen Moxue was very distressed. "Yes, I had a hairdryer in my space, but it's unusable without power."
After explaining, realizing he didn't understand what a hair dryer was, she further explained, "A hair dryer is an appliance specifically designed to dry hair."
As she spoke, she took out a hairdryer from her storage space to show him.
"This is the thing. If it had electricity, it could dry your hair in just a few minutes."
Lu Yuan paused for a moment before curiously picking up the hair dryer and examining it from all angles. He casually remarked, "This thing is useful for you women."
Their male comrades have short hair, so it's not very useful.
Wen Moxue didn't take it seriously, "There will be many men using this hairdryer in the future."
Lu Yuan remained noncommittal.
"You'd better put the things into your spatial storage quickly, otherwise it will be hard to explain if you forget them and someone sees them later."
Wen Moxue obediently put the medicine into her spatial storage, then took out the powder and gauze to prepare to apply the medicine to him.
"I'll bandage it for you tonight, otherwise the medicine might get rubbed off if you turn over."
When wrapping the gauze, we inevitably got a little too close.
The girl's faint sweet scent mixed with the smell of shampoo wafted straight into my nostrils.
For a young, vigorous man, this is undoubtedly a silent provocation.
My Adam's apple bobbed, and I felt incredibly hot all over.
"How about I do it myself?"
Wen Moxue glared at him, "How are you going to fix your back yourself?"
Realizing he couldn't do it, he coughed awkwardly and stopped talking.
It was just very hard to endure.
Fortunately, it was bandaged in no time.
"Should we go to the health center tomorrow?" Wen Muxue asked.
"No need, I feel your medicine is working very well, and the pain has subsided considerably."
Wen Moxue knew how effective her spiritual spring water and medicinal powder were, and knew there wouldn't be any major problems, so she let it go.
The two prepared to sleep, one lying on the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), and the other lying on the head of the kang.
A short while later, the person at the head of the kang (heated brick bed) moved to the foot of the kang.
Lu Yuan looked wary. "What are you trying to do? Don't try to take advantage of me just because I'm injured."
Wen Moxue rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Knowing this guy loved to talk big, she couldn't be bothered with him.
She placed her pillow next to him and lay face down, mimicking his posture.
He asked in a low voice, "Lu Yuan, when are we moving?"
When do you want to go?
"I want to move tomorrow."
Moving into the new house means I won't have to hide my food anymore; I can have plenty of meat and fish every meal.
If you get tired of Chinese food, you can cook Western food. And all the desserts and fruits in the space can be taken out and eaten without worry from now on.
"Not tomorrow?"
"Why?"
"Don't forget that our new house has nothing yet, and you still need to go to the commune to buy things tomorrow."
"Then the day after tomorrow."
Lu Yuan agreed.
The young girl smiled and began to chatter about what she needed to buy tomorrow. Actually, she already had everything she needed; going to the commune was just a formality.
"I need two large iron pots, bowls, chopsticks, basins, and blankets..."
After listening for a while, there was no sound. I turned my head to look.
Okay, they've already closed their eyes and are breathing evenly.
This girl...
Oh well, I'll just have to bear it. I'm already injured, and I can't move around much when I sleep anyway. It won't take up much space.
In the darkness of the night, gazing at the girl's delicate and serene face, Lu Yuan slowly lost himself in thought.
He initially agreed to let her be his fake wife only out of pity, feeling that these female educated youths sent to the countryside had a very difficult time, especially after being targeted by the village hooligans, their lives became even more difficult.
In addition, his stepmother wanted to arrange a marriage for him with a widow, so he used her as a shield.
Unexpectedly, as they spent more time together, he discovered that she was very different from other women, and her personality was very similar to that of an old friend of his. Before he knew it, he had developed some feelings for her.
Now we know such a big secret about the other party.
He was thinking, with such a golden rice bowl in his hands, why not just live off his wife for the rest of his life!
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, someone started banging on the door.
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue were both woken up at the same time.
Then--
The two quickly withdrew their hands and feet from each other's bodies.
After hurriedly getting dressed, Lu Yuan opened the door and went straight out, then thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
It was Xu Dong who knocked on the door.
He and Lu Guoan have returned from the commune; they've come to deliver the money and coupons.
Lu Guoqing opened the gate for him, but he couldn't possibly give him the money.
Xu Dong handed him a cloth bag and whispered, "Brother Yuan, it's 436.8 yuan in total, and there are some receipts inside."
After saying that, he added, "The wild boar weighs 546 jin (278 catties)."
Lu Yuan did the math in his head: 80 cents a pound.
This price isn't low; it's a dime more expensive than pork. You can't compare it to black market prices. Besides, they haven't even removed the internal organs or anything; it's a fair price.
Lu Yuan took out 20 yuan and several receipts from his cloth bag and handed them to Xu Dong.
