Chapter 12

After dinner, Lu Yu took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them, and then boiled a pot of hot water for Jiang Nian to take a bath.

Jiang Nian stayed quietly in the room, sitting at the end of the bed and stretching his neck to secretly look outside, with a sweet candy in his mouth.

In the new century, these candies are not rare, but in this era, being able to eat a candy is a very satisfying thing.

Seeing Lu Yu coming over with a bucket of water, Jiang Nian quickly moved to the head of the bed, put his hands on his legs, lowered his head, and looked at the ground. He saw a tall and straight shadow first enter the door. Lu Yu followed

closely and came in with a bucket of water, and the sound of water echoed in the room.

Lu Yu carried two buckets of water and poured them into the large basin. He never dared to look up at his sister-in-law who was sitting beside the bed. He walked out the door and then spoke to Jiang Nian: "I will move to the dormitory in two days and come back for dinner every day."

He paused, his voice a little unnatural: "I will also pour the water before leaving."

Listening to the footsteps outside, Jiang Nian sat more relaxed.

She didn't care much about whether Lu Yu moved out or not. Even if he didn't move out, he would not be at home during the day. He would only come back for dinner and live under the same roof at night.

I ran outside today and felt sticky all over. After taking a shower, I felt refreshed.

She put on a small vest and wanted to call Lu Yu in to pour water.

Suddenly she remembered that he asked her to put on her clothes yesterday, so she put on a short-sleeved shirt, walked outside and called Lu Yu: "I'm done."

Lu Yu came out of the house, wearing a white coat with a front opening, with water dripping from his hair. He walked past Jiang Nian, and Jiang Nian smelled a faint scent of soap from him.

He should have taken a shower just now.

But he must have used cold water.

The house was filled with a faint scent of soap, which went straight into people's noses.

Lu Yu held his breath, picked up the basin and splashed it in the yard: "It's getting late, go to bed."

After that, he put the basin in the second room to the east and went straight back to his room.

Jiang Nian looked at Lu Yu's back disappearing at the door of the house, and felt a little confused.

She went back to her room and lay on the bed. She slept too much during the day and suffered from insomnia at night. She tossed and turned for more than two hours before she slowly fell asleep.

In her dream, she saw herself traveling back in time. Her father cooked a big table of delicious food. Her grandparents and mother all asked her where she had been. Later, she returned to her room, picked up the period novel she had read before, and turned to the place where she had folded it before, wanting to continue reading.

The page she folded happened to be the plot about the hero and heroine preparing to get married.

But to Jiang Nian's surprise, starting from the folded place, every word on the page afterwards was blank.

- Blank?!

Jiang Nian widened her eyes. She turned to the last page and it was blank!

She turned forward again without giving up. The plots were still there, but it was stuck at the plot about the hero and heroine about to get married, and the content behind it all disappeared!

Jiang Nian was so anxious that sweat broke out on her head. She rubbed her fingers on the paper, hoping to write some words, but it was useless even though her fingers turned red.

The sound of the army's horn broke the quiet morning.

Lu Yu's voice seemed to come to her ears. The man's voice was low and magnetic, and his tone was full of urgency.

"Sister-in-law."

"Wake up, don't sleep anymore."

Lu Yu's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled. Looking at Jiang Nian who was lying on the bed sobbing, his hands were clenched tightly, and his tears wet the pillow.

He called for a while but she didn't wake up. He

grabbed her wrist and was about to carry her to the hospital. The person on the bed trembled her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes. A pair of wet eyes, pitiful and aggrieved eyes, suddenly hit Lu Yu's eyes.

The man's breathing tightened for some reason, and he let go of Jiang Nian's wrist, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Nian's mind was slow to react, and she looked at Lu Yu in front of her. She realized belatedly that she was still in this book, and she had never put it back on. Everything just now was a dream.

She woke up from the dream and came back again. She

had just had dinner and talked with her parents, grandpa and grandma, and then returned to her room and lay in the room where she had slept for more than 20 years. The long-lost sense of familiarity had not yet penetrated her senses, and she was suddenly pulled back to this era, living as another Jiang Nian again.

Jiang Nian sniffed and cried, "I, I miss your elder brother."

She lowered her eyelashes, sat up and hugged her knees, "I dreamed of your elder brother and father. They asked me to take good care of you, to listen to me, to worry more about your marriage, and to get married as soon as possible."

Lu Yu: ...

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he was relaxed, he realized that Jiang Nian was wearing a small vest and shorts. She bent down and hugged her knees, revealing a part of her waist. Her waist was so slender that he could hold it with one hand. Her little feet were together and her skin was white.

There were also sobbing sounds that echoed in the room intermittently.

Lu Yu's ears suddenly climbed up the red color, turned around quickly and walked out of the house, took a breath of the morning air, and said to Jiang Nian in the house: "Since my sister-in-law is fine, I will go to the team first. Breakfast is ready and warming in the pot. I will go to the field to turn the soil at noon and will not come back."

After that, he ran away.

Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, and raised his head in a daze to look at the figure that disappeared quickly outside the window.

"..."

She had been thinking about it for a long time, just thinking about going to the hospital in two days to find an excuse to match him and the heroine.

Why did he run away again? !

.

Jiang Nian got up to wash, and after breakfast, he swept the yard, thinking about the dream last night in his mind.

The plot is stuck on the day when the hero and heroine got married, and the rest of the plot is blank.

She knocked her head, hating herself for not finishing the book that night. If she had stayed up and insisted on reading, she might not have been in a book.

After cleaning the yard, she cleaned every room again.

It was almost lunchtime when Jiang Nian went into the kitchen. She cooked potatoes and meat, garlic-flavored eggplant, and seven pancakes made with corn flour. She sprinkled some salt and chives on them, and they smelled delicious. Jiang

Nian put the rice in a basket, covered it with a cloth, and walked towards the private plot.

Today is hotter than yesterday. Jiang Nian raised her hands to shield her forehead from the glaring sunlight. She walked to the edge of the field and saw Lu Yu wearing a vest and turning the soil with a hoe in his hand. Half of the two-mu field had been turned.

She walked to the shade of the tree and called to Lu Yu, "Come over for dinner."

Jiang Nian put the basket on the ground, opened the lid of the thermos, and looked at Lu Yu who was walking towards her with big strides, "Wash your hands first."

"Yes."

Lu Yu bent his waist and arched his back, and washed his hands with the water in the thermos with both hands. After washing his hands, he washed his face, turned his back to Jiang Nian, lifted the hem of his clothes, and wiped the water off his face.

Jiang Nian: ...

She still wants to see some abdominal muscles.

Under the shade of the tree, Jiang Nian and Lu Yu squatted on the ground.

Jiang Nian spread the cloth on the ground, brought out the stewed potatoes with meat and garlic eggplant, and opened the cloth covering the basket, and the aroma of chopped green onions and corn spread out.

Lu Yu was so hungry that he felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Nian brought all seven cakes, fearing that if she brought less, Lu Yu would not have enough to eat.

The cakes were as big as a small bowl, and Jiang Nian was full after eating two. She thought Lu Yu would eat four at most, but he ate all the remaining five, and even ate up the vegetables.

Jiang Nian was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yu's appetite was surprisingly large.

After putting the plates into the basket, Lu Yu poured the water from the thermos into a pot lid and handed it to Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian shook her head gently: "I'll go back and drink warm water. The well water is too cold."

Lu Yu didn't say anything. He drank two lids of water in a row and handed the thermos to Jiang Nian: "Go back, I'll finish turning the rest of the land, and then turn it over again tomorrow. After two days of sun, you can plant vegetables."

Jiang Nian held the basket in her left hand and the thermos in her right hand. She lowered her head and responded: "Okay."

She faced the sun. The light was originally dazzling, but the tall Lu Yu stood opposite her and blocked the sunlight for her. He turned and went to the field. The light suddenly pierced his eyes. Jiang Nian blinked uncomfortably.

.Lu

Yu has almost turned the soil over the past two days. If the sun shines for a while, we can plant vegetables.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Yu carried a bucket to fetch water from the jar.

Jiang Nian sat in front of the stove to boil water. She leaned against the earthen wall, holding a dry firewood in her hand, looking at the fire in the stove, listening to the sound of water disappearing into the darkness, and then she whispered: "Will you take a leave of absence tomorrow morning to take me to the hospital?"

Lu Yu's hand holding the bucket froze, and he lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Nian, hesitating for a moment: "I will go to find Sister Feng later and ask her to accompany Sister-in-law tomorrow."

Jiang Nian: ? ?

If he doesn't go, then why does she go to the hospital?

Jiang Nian looked up at him, the firelight flickered on her face, reflecting the pleading look in her eyes. She pinched the dry firewood and rubbed it against the earth wall, imitating the embarrassment and cowardice of the original owner when she was alone with Lu Yu.

"Can you accompany me?"

The voice was soft and low, and there was embarrassment and inferiority of fear of being rejected.

She acted this look exactly like it.

This was the first time Lu Yu saw Jiang Nian begging him from her eyes.

His sister-in-law never asked him for anything, and every time she saw him, she just sat in the corner in silence.

He lowered his eyes, and his low voice had a little more barely noticeable hoarseness.

"I'll take a leave tomorrow morning to accompany you."

"Yes."

Jiang Nian lowered his head, pinching the dry firewood with his fingers, and trying hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up.

After Lu Yu turned around and left, she covered her mouth and laughed.

As long as she could trick the hero into going to the hospital to meet the heroine, she would be done. Maybe she could retire with honor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian touched his forehead, which no longer hurt. Jiang Nian went to bed early after taking a shower.
