Chapter 77
It was dawn outside, and the curtains blocked the moonlight that was pouring in.
In the dim room, Lu Yu grabbed Jiang Nian's slender ankle and kissed her ankle joint.
The man's rough fingers made Jiang Nian's head tingle. She grabbed the pillow tightly, her eyes were wet, and her tears flowed out of her eyes and slid across her ears. Lu Yu pinched Jiang Nian's waist and picked her up and fell on him.
The battlefield was from the bed to the table, and then from the outer room to the bathroom.
Jiang Nian felt that her whole body was exhausted. She collapsed powerlessly in Lu Yu's arms. She felt tired even if she lifted her fingers. Seeing that Lu Yu was still moving without stopping, Jiang Nian's voice was filled with tears: "Lu Yu..."
Lu Yu kissed her lips, the veins on his forehead were tense, and he coaxed in Jiang Nian's ear: "It's almost over."
Jiang Nian thought it was really over, and she was feeling like she could finally have a good sleep, but Lu Yu didn't let her go until dawn.
Lu Yu picked up Jiang Nian, cleaned her and put her into the quilt. Looking at the snow-white shoulders and rosy face exposed under the red quilt, Lu Yu almost couldn't control himself. He bit her shoulder lightly and pecked her on the lips: "I'll go make breakfast, you sleep a little longer." Jiang Nian
muttered in a daze, turned over and fell into a deep sleep. She slept until one o'clock in the afternoon and was not awake yet. She was picked up by Lu Yu again. Jiang Nian was still a little dazed. For a moment, she felt at a loss as to where she was. The red cotton quilt slipped from her shoulders, and the traces of being loved and loved were suddenly exposed to the air.
Lu Yu's rough fingers rubbed and caressed Jiang Nian's smooth and tender skin. The familiar yet unfamiliar numbness instantly penetrated Jiang Nian's dull brain. She almost came to her senses instantly, pulled the quilt to wrap herself up, and kept pushing away Lu Yu's hand with one hand, but the man took the opportunity to grab her wrist, making her unable to move.
Jiang Nian looked at Lu Yu aggrievedly, her bright eyes still a little wet, and said pitifully: "I'm hungry."
She really didn't know where Lu Yu got so much energy. Chen Yao and the others tortured him so much last night, but he was like nothing happened, fighting from early morning till dawn. She hasn't recovered yet and feels like her whole body is falling apart, but he looks refreshed.
Lu Yu pinched her fingertips: "Get up and eat."
He took out Jiang Nian's clothes from the cupboard and put them on the bed. Jiang Nian was wrapped in a quilt, with only her head exposed. She stared at him with round eyes: "You go out."
Lu Yu smiled: "Okay."
Jiang Nian's face had never been cold since she woke up. It was always warm. When Lu Yu closed the door, she quickly lifted the quilt and put on her clothes. As a result, just as she took the small vest in her hand, the closed door opened again. Jiang Nian didn't even have time to cover or block, and she ran into Lu Yu's dark eyes.
Jiang Nian: !!!
She panicked, grabbed the quilt and hugged it, and was in a mess, leaving only two thin legs on the edge of the bed, with traces of ambiguity on her white skin.
Although they were husband and wife, and they were honest with each other,
Jiang Nian really couldn't be so naked and calm. She grabbed the corner of the quilt in embarrassment, and said with shame and anger: "Why didn't you knock when you came in?"
Lu Yu's eyes fell on the slightly floating legs, and then looked at Jiang Nian: "I've seen everything I should see."
There was a smile in his tone.
Jiang Nian: ...
She lowered her head, not looking at Lu Yu. She pulled the quilt with her fingers and covered her legs little by little. Lu Yu smiled and said, "Do you want to eat steamed buns or noodles?"
Jiang Nian whispered, "Steamed buns."
The door was closed, and Jiang Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly put on her clothes and shoes. She opened the curtains and looked at herself in the mirror. There were numerous marks on her neck. Jiang Nian frowned, raised her chin and looked again, and finally took a thin red scarf and put it around her neck.
She walked out of the house and saw Lu Yu cooking in the kitchen. The man was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. Jiang Nian had never thought about marrying Lu Yu at first. She came here and just thought about how to go back. Looking at the strange new home, this belonged to her and Lu Yu.
They were husband and wife, no longer uncle and sister-in-law.
"The hot water is in the thermos. After dinner, I will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. We will carry the things to get to know the place and take you to meet the head of the second regiment and his wife."
Lu Yu brought the dishes to the table, glanced at the red scarf on Jiang Nian's neck, coughed lightly and went to bring the steamed buns.
Don't mention it, Jiang Nian still has a car debt on her.
She sat on the bench, eating the food that Lu Yu brought to her. The man ate very quickly and finished in a short while. She swallowed the food in her mouth, looked up at Lu Yu, and saw that he was not sleepy at all. She couldn't help wondering: "Don't you want to sleep for a while?"
Lu Yu said: "No."
He looked at Jiang Nian: "Why don't you sleep for a while, I will take you to introduce you to the house tomorrow."
Jiang Nian shook her head quickly: "No, let's go after dinner."
Just kidding, if others knew that she was paralyzed in bed on the first day of her wedding, she would not be able to see anyone if it got out. She would be so embarrassed.
She didn't want to be known in the family building.
After dinner, Lu Yu washed the pots and dishes. Jiang Nian put on her coat and went downstairs with Lu Yu. Lu Yu pushed a bicycle out from the corridor. The bicycle at that time was a 28-bar bicycle, which looked very big. Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Did you buy this?"
Lu Yu said: "Yeah."
Jiang Nian took a look at the brand new bicycle. Although it was nothing in the new century, having a bicycle in this era was very impressive. However, this bicycle was too big for her. She couldn't even touch the ground with her feet when riding it. While she was thinking, her waist suddenly tightened. When she came to her senses, she was already held by Lu Yu with one hand and sat on the back seat.
"Have a seat, let's go."
Lu Yu was tall and had long legs, full of strength, and rode effortlessly. Jiang Nian was uncomfortable holding onto the back of the bike, so she reached out and hugged Lu Yu's waist. The man didn't seem to expect her to do this, and his tall body stiffened for a moment.
Jiang Nian moved forward, mustered up her courage, and hugged Lu Yu with both hands. She could feel the man's lean and strong abdominal muscles under his clothes through his military uniform.
Last night, she not only looked at him openly, but also touched him.
Lu Yu smiled at the corner of his lips, holding Jiang Nian's slender hand with one hand. When they reached a crowded place, Lu Yu let go of his hand and held the handlebars. When the military wives saw the couple, they all looked over with envy.
On the second day after marriage, the man took his wife to the supply and marketing cooperative on a bicycle. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
The supply and marketing cooperative here is bigger than that one, and there are more things inside.
Lu Yu bought four items and hung them on the front of the car. He took Jiang Nian back to the family building, parked the car in the corridor, and then took Jiang Nian to the home of He, the head of the Second Regiment.
He's building was next to theirs. They were in the fifth row, and He's was in the fourth row. People on the road greeted Lu Yu back and forth, looking back and forth between Lu Yu and Jiang Nian, most of them with a joking look.
Jiang Nian really couldn't handle being looked at like that, so when they were almost at the building, he dragged Lu Yu in.
"Do you know the way?"
Lu Yu asked.
Jiang Nian: …
She stopped: “You lead the way.”
Lu Yu smiled, took Jiang Nian to the fourth floor, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and a woman’s voice came from inside: “I’m here.”
The door opened, and it was a child who opened the door. He looked very much like Captain He. When the child saw Lu Yu and Jiang Nian, he immediately smiled and said, “Uncle Lu, Aunt Jiang.”
Lu Yu smiled and said, “Yes.”
He said to Jiang Nian, “This is Captain He’s eldest son, He Ming, who just turned ten this year. The one inside is the second child, named He Bing.”
Jiang Nian nodded gently and said, “Got it.”
"Old He just left. Why are you here at this time? Don't leave later. Have dinner at my place tonight."
Lan Hui was wearing an apron. Seeing Jiang Nian and Lu Yu smiling, she placed a plate of melon seeds on the table and said to Jiang Nian, "Eat some melon seeds."
Jiang Nian sat on the sofa with a smile on his face, "Thank you, sister-in-law Lan."
Lan Hui said to Lu Yu, "Your wife has such a sweet mouth. I didn't say anything, but she kept saying thank you to me. I feel embarrassed." Then she said to He Ming, "Your father hasn't gone far yet. Call your father back quickly."
He Ming said, "I'll go right away."
He Bing also chased out: "Brother, wait for me, I want to go too."
Lan Hui knew about the situation of Lu Yu and Jiang Nian. To be honest, Captain He and Lu Yu did have some background. Captain He was in Lu Yu's original unit before, and Lu Yu was a soldier under him. At that time, Xu Cheng was also there. His family's husband He said that Xu Cheng and Lu Yu would both be promising people in the future, but he didn't expect that Xu Cheng would get into that kind of thing and die.
Lan Hui knew a little about the Lu family, and understood that he had no relatives. She was the one who took the initiative to take care of the marriage, and Lu Yu did not treat her badly at the wedding. He gave her all the extra meat, chicken, and fish, and also gave her a big red envelope.
These good things had already made up for her contribution.
Lan Hui glanced at Jiang Nian and smiled, "It's not cold in the room, you can take off your scarf."
Jiang Nian pursed her lips, with an unnatural look on her face, "I'm a little cold."
After saying that, she wrapped the scarf around her neck again, telling Lan Hui that she was really cold. Seeing Lu Yu chuckled beside her, Jiang Nian took advantage of Lan Hui turning around to pour water and stretched out her hand to squeeze Lu Yu's waist.
——Hiss.
She squeezed her fingers so hard that they hurt.
Jiang Nian: ...
Lu Yu pinched her fingertips, a smile escaped from his throat, and whispered in her ear: "I'll squeeze them for you when I get home."
Jiang Nian: ... Captain
He will be back soon. When he saw Lu Yu, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with you, kid? Why did you come at this time?"
After that, he took off his coat and handed it to He Ming: "Hang it up for Dad."
Lu Yu said: "The room is a bit messy. I cleaned it up today."
Captain He saw The things on the table, smiled: "It's enough that people are here, why bring so many things, your wedding cost a lot, you should save the money for raising your son."
Speaking of children, Lan Hui took a sip of water, glanced at Jiang Nian, and asked Lu Yu: "When are you going to have children? You are not young anymore, you can't delay it any longer." Jiang Nian was
induced to give birth for the first time, and she was not used to it.
Lu Yu smiled and said: "Soon."
Jiang Nian: ???
She subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Lu Yu. What do you mean by soon? Why didn't he ask her if she agreed?
After sitting at Lan Hui's place for a while, Lu Yu took Jiang Nian to look for other people's houses. Before leaving, Lan Hui said, "Remember to come over for dinner tonight." Lu Yu
: "Okay."
The two left the family building, and Lu Yu took Jiang Nian to the home of Kuang Sheng, the deputy head of the Second Regiment. The deputy head's home was next to their family building, on the first floor. As a result, as soon as they arrived at their door, they saw Tian Mai arguing with someone. The other party was an older lady, who put her hands on her waist and pointed at Tian Mai's nose and scolded her, saying that she couldn't give birth to a son and that she had made the Kuang family extinct.
The two people's voices were getting louder and louder, and there were people around them, some trying to persuade them to fight, and some watching the show.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Captain Lu and his new wife are here."
This shout immediately made the scene much quieter. Tian Mai was arguing and his face was red. When he saw Jiang Nian and Lu Yu coming, his anger was stuck on his face, which was a little funny. The old lady next to him glanced at Jiang Nian, snorted coldly and went into the house.
This old lady was Tian Mai's mother-in-law. There was only one son in the family, Kuang Sheng. Her husband passed away a few years ago, and she was the only old lady left in the family. So she was taken to live in the family building by Deputy Captain Kuang. Who knew that once they took them in, the family would no longer be at peace.
The old lady was disgusted with Tian Mai for giving birth to two daughters and not even a son. She scolded her every other day. Everyone in this building knew that Deputy Commander Kuang's mother scolded people very badly.
In the eyes of the old lady, Commander Lu's new wife was no good at all, just like Tian Mai.
One could not give birth to a son, and on the day of the wedding, there was no one in her family. It was unknown whether she was an orphan or ran away from home secretly. The wedding was quite grand, but no one knew what happened to her.
She closed the door of the inner room as soon as she entered the room. The people in the corridor also dispersed. Tian Mai tugged at his clothes angrily, looked at Lu Yu, and then smiled at Jiang Nian: "I made a fool of myself in front of you."
Then he opened the door: "Come in and sit down."
Lu Yu nodded: "Sister Tian, has Deputy Head Kuang gone to the group?"
Tian Mai said: "He left for a while. I asked Qian'er to call him."
"No need. We'll just sit for a while and then leave."
Lu Yu put the things on the table, took Jiang Nian to sit on the bench, and introduced them to Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian pursed her lips and listened. Tianmai poured water and delivered it to Lu Yu and Jiang Nian. Then he looked at Jiang Nian and said, "If you have any problems in the future, just find Sister Tian. Sister Tian knows this land very well."
Her personality is similar to Feng Mei's. They are both carefree and will return to their normal state after a quarrel.
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie Tian."
Tian Mai's two daughters came out from the inner room. They probably spent every day under the old lady's scolding. They were too self-conscious to look up when they saw people. They stood together against the wall awkwardly. When Tian Mai asked them to call people, they called out softly, "Uncle Lu, Auntie Jiang."
Jiang Nian smiled and asked Tian, "Who are you?" Mai: "How old are they?"
Tian Mai said: "The eldest is nine years old, and the second is seven years old."
The oldest is Kuang Xiu, and the youngest is Kuang Qian. The eldest is more taciturn, keeping her head down the whole time and not saying a word. Kuang Qian occasionally raised her head to look at Jiang Nian, and when she met Jiang Nian's line of sight, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
In the new century, there are always older people who value sons over daughters, let alone this era. Tian Mai gave birth to two daughters who were abused by her mother-in-law. Fortunately, she was in the army. If she was in the countryside, who knows how many people would talk behind her back.
After sitting for a while, Lu Yu took Jiang Nian away. Before leaving, Tian Mai said to Jiang Nian, "I'll come to see you some other day, and we can have a good chat."
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Okay."
Captain He, Deputy Captain Kuang, Battalion Commander Fang and Battalion Commander Ren all made a lot of efforts in this wedding. They have already visited two families, and they will visit two more families next. As for Gu Shizhou and Chen Yao, Lu Yu said that he would cook a meal at home tomorrow and invite them to come over for dinner to express his gratitude.
Battalion Commander Fang and Battalion Commander Ren were in the same building with them.
Lu Yu took her to the home of the battalion commander. When they knocked on the door, Chen Ping was standing at the door. When she saw Jiang Nian and Lu Yu, she was stunned for a moment and quickly made way for them: "Come in."
Chen Ping's older daughter saw them coming in and quickly went to pour water. The youngest son sat on the bench and watched Jiang Nian and the others. When Chen Ping asked him to call for help, he called out "uncle" and "auntie".
Chen Ping sat on the bench, feeling somewhat restrained.
Her detention was not because of Captain Lu Yu's identity, but because she knew that the two were uncle and sister-in-law, but now they were husband and wife. She couldn't get over it, and the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She even called her sister Chen Fang two days ago and asked about it in a roundabout way, but they didn't know that Captain Lu and Jiang Nian were married.
Chen Ping said, "Well, are you going back to your hometown this year?"
Chen Ping: ...
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her tongue again, so she quickly said, "Drink some water, the water is not hot, it's just right."
Lu Yu: ...
Jiang Nian: ...
They both couldn't sit still anymore, so they got up and left Chen Ping's house. Chen Ping didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the door was closed. Ren Xuan asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Why do you act like a thief?
Chen Ping said, "It's okay."
After Jiang Nian and the others left, Ren Tong opened the bag on the table. Chen Ping walked over and patted his hand, "Go, go."
Then he picked up all the things and looked at them one by one. There were brown sugar, peach cakes, eggs, but they were all good things. They cost a lot of money. Chen Ping felt sorry for Lu Yu and his wife, so she locked these good things in the cabinet, took out a piece of peach cake, broke it into two halves and gave them to Ren Xuan and Ren Tong.
She divided them fairly and impartially, and no one was treated unfairly.
Jiang Nian and Lu Yu went down to the fourth floor. Before leaving, Jiang Nian looked back at Chen Ping's house. She felt a little uneasy. She looked up at Lu Yu and whispered, "Will she tell others about our previous relationship?"
Although she was not afraid of others talking about her, she was still afraid that others would talk about Lu Yu.
Lu Yu rubbed her head and said, "No."
His voice was low and deep, which inexplicably made Jiang Nian feel at ease. The two walked to the door of the house. Lu Yu was about to knock on the door, but He Yue opened the door first. When she saw the couple, she smiled and said, "Hey, you are finally up." Jiang
Nian: ...
Her face suddenly turned red. Thinking of the noise they made last night, she didn't know if the house was soundproof.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law He."
He Yue glanced at the two of them with an ambiguous look and stepped aside, "Come in quickly."
After Lu Yu walked in, He Yue walked to Jiang Nian and whispered, "How is it, is Captain Lu awesome?"
Jiang Nian: ???
Jiang Nian never thought that He Yue would ask so boldly. Seeing He Yue's eyes frequently looking at her scarf, Jiang Nian had an illusion for a moment that He Yue had heard the noise in her room.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't move, Lu Yu raised his eyes to look at her. Jiang Nian said, "Nothing happened."
He quickly ran to sit down next to Lu Yu.
He Yue smiled and asked her daughter Fang Xia to pour water for Lu Yu and Jiang Nian. She sat down on the bench and said to Jiang Nian, "Were those comrades yesterday all from Xiu Zhuang?"
Jiang Nian said, "Yes, all of them."
He Yue smiled and said, "I saw they were really nice to you. How were you? Were you tired yesterday?"
It was clearly the purest concern, but Jiang Nian always felt that there was another meaning hidden in He Yue's words. She pursed her lower lip, looked up, and actually saw the playful smile in He Yue's eyes.
Jiang Nian: ...
She thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, Lu Yu was busy all the time, I was fine."
He Yue introduced her two children, the eldest daughter is Fang Xia, who is twelve years old this year, and the youngest son is Fang Guo, who is also ten years old this year. Jiang Nian found that the children of these sisters-in-law are about the same age. No wonder since coming here with Lu Yu, everyone talked about how Lu Yu became the head of the Lu Group at such a young age.
In such a comparison, he is really young.
After sitting at He Yue's house for a while, the two were ready to go back. When Jiang Nianlin walked to the door, He Yue grabbed her and said to Lu Yu, "Head of the Lu Group, you go home first, I want to have a private talk with your wife."
Jiang Nian: ...
She always felt that He Yue would not say anything good.
Lu Yu glanced at Jiang Nian, opened the door and went in first. He Yue pulled Jiang Nian into the house and spoke without reservation: "Jiang Nian, we will be neighbors from now on. If you have anything, come to me."
Her husband is a soldier under Captain Lu. Jiang Nian is the captain's wife at such a young age. Who wouldn't envy her
? And if she had a good relationship with Jiang Nian, she might be able to help her husband.
So He Yue became more positive, and pulled Jiang Nian aside to talk for a long time. Finally, fearing that her children had heard, she lowered her voice and said, "Just tell your sister-in-law, do you want a child this year? I heard from Captain Lu that your family members are not here, and it is very difficult for you to come here. It is not easy for you to marry here alone. If you don't understand anything, ask me more. I am a real person who has been through this."
Jiang Nian thought for a while and smiled, "I don't know yet."
She really hadn't thought about having a child, and Lu Yu seemed to have taken some measures last night...
and told He Yue about it. Jiang Nian had just left. As soon as she left He Yue's house, Lu Yu opened the door, as if to welcome her on purpose. He Yue joked, "Captain Lu is so serious, are you afraid that I will kidnap your wife?"
Jiang Nian: ...
Lu Yu smiled lightly and said, "Sister He, stop joking."
When she got home, before Jiang Nian had time to take her scarf, Lu Yu picked her up and carried her into the inner room. She was so scared that she pushed Lu Yu's shoulders and angrily said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yu's black eyes rolled with invisible dark colors, and he smiled suddenly, "Just hold you for a while."
Jiang Nian: ...
She would never believe Lu Yu. Ling
Chen lied to her at that time, and it was almost over, but he let her go at dawn.
The scarf was scattered on the pillow, and the hand with the thin cord was rubbing Jiang Nian's waist/side. The collar button was unbuttoned by external force. Jiang Nian was anxious to grab the scarf and wanted to push Lu Yu away. Before her two little hands could get busy, they were grabbed by the other party and raised over her head and pressed.
The red shirt piled up at the clavicle, and the dark head in front of the moon made Jiang Nian dare not lower her head.
The car was bitten, and Jiang Nian burst into tears, and half of her body was numb.
"Lu Yu..."
"You don't keep your word."
Jiang Nian sniffed, and the voice of being bullied was filled with soft and sticky crying.
Lu Yu kissed her smooth waist. She wanted to push Lu Yu away, but the man's hand passed through her fingers and intertwined with hers, making her unable to move. She could only be forced to endure the numbness of the rippling.
"Nian Nian"
Lu Yu knelt on the bed, looking at Jiang Nian with his dark eyes, looking at her raised neck, the charming and seductive eyebrows when she was excited, and every frown and smile was enough to drive Lu Yu crazy.
The curtains fell, blocking the light pouring in.
Lu Yu tilted his head and kissed Jiang Nian's ankle. His shoulder was trembling and weakly holding the white and thin moon-like back.
Jiang Nian buried her head in the pillow, biting the pillowcase hard, trying to hold back the mumbling and speechless words in her throat.
She wanted to do this, but someone didn't want to.
In the end, Jiang Nian felt that her throat was hoarse. She looked at the ceiling in a daze, watching Lu Yu appear in her field of vision, turning his head away angrily and ignoring her. Lu Yu kissed the tip of her nose: "I'll carry you to the bathroom."
It's no exaggeration to say that even Jiang Nian's fingers were tired.
Lu Yu helped her clean up and carried her into the house. Jiang Nian's voice was hoarse: "You liar."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "I'll be more careful next time."
Jiang Nian's wet eyes suddenly glared: "Do you still want a next time?!"
As a result, the man shamelessly said "hmm" and continued: "There will always be a next time, until we are old."
Jiang Nian: ...
When it was dark, He Ming, the eldest son of Captain He, came and knocked on the door, saying that it was almost time for dinner and asked them to go over. Jiang Nian lay powerlessly in the quilt, staring at Lu Yu with resentment: "What should I do?"
Lu Yu said: "I'll go tell Sister Lan that you are sleepy and go to bed first."
"No."
Jiang Nian sighed, "It's not okay to act so pretentiously on the first day after marrying in."
Besides, Sister Lan and Captain He have helped them a lot, and they can't neglect this matter. It's just that she is now weak and her voice is not right. The more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets. She stretched her feet out of the quilt and kicked Lu Yu's feet. The man easily grabbed her feet, with a smile on his face: "I'll help you put on your clothes."
Jiang Nian tensed up and said quickly, "I'll do it myself."
By the time she put on her clothes and went out with Lu Yu, it was completely dark. The two went to Captain He's house and smelled the aroma of meat as soon as they entered the door. He Ming and He Bing carried the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table. They saw Lu Yu and Jiang Nian and called out in unison: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Jiang."
Lu Yu and Jiang Nian responded. Captain He was sitting on a bench. There was a bottle of white wine and two glass wine glasses on the table. As soon as Lu Yu came in, Captain He said, "Come on, let's have a good drink today."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Okay."
Jiang Nian:...
Lan Hui came out with a plate of fish and said, "This is the leftover fish from yesterday. Look, it's still intact." After that, she put it on the table.
At the dinner table, Jiang Nian learned that there was a school in the army, and there was also an anti-blindness class. All the children in the family compound were in the school, and every morning, the wives of the soldiers would go to the anti-blindness class to study. Lan Hui asked Jiang Nian: "Tomorrow is Monday, do you want to go to the anti-blindness class with me?"
Jiang Nian: ...
She wanted to say no, but in the eyes of Lu Yu and everyone else, she was illiterate and uneducated. Just from the handwriting of 'Jiang Nian' in the dream, it can be seen. Lu Yu looked at Jiang Nian and whispered: "If you don't want to go, don't go."
"You can't say that." Lan Hui continued, "I've been studying for ten days and now I can recite a poem. Jiang Nian is young and has a good memory. She will definitely learn faster. Jiang Nian, we women can also learn. You can go with us tomorrow. Remember to take a notebook and a pen when you go."
Jiang Nian said with a stiff face, "Okay."
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and glanced at Jiang Nian. He knew that the person in front of him had a secret. He would slowly explore this secret and it would be revealed one day.
He said to Lan Hui, "Sister Lan, wait for two more days. We are going to the embroidery manor tomorrow."
Lan Hui nodded and said, "Yes, you must go to Xiuzhuang. Look at how nice those female comrades were to your wife at the wedding yesterday. They kept saying that they were your wife's family. With so many people helping your wife, let's see if you dare to bully Jiang Nian in the future."
Lu Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, "I dare not."
Captain He mentioned the past: "Did you go back to your hometown this year?"
Lu Yu said, "I did."
Captain He wiped his face and said, "I watched you and Xu Cheng come step by step. If nothing happened to that kid, he would be the same as you now."
"What a pity."
Captain He drank a glass of wine, smacked his lips and asked, "When are you going to take your wife back to your hometown to meet Master Xu and Master Xu? Your mother left you to Master Xu when you were little. It's been so many years, and you have been a family for a long time. It's time to take your new wife back to meet her family."
Lu Yu's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, picked up the wine and drank it all: "I'll be back at the end of the year."
Jiang Nian lowered his head, feeling a little uneasy.
It was already late when they left Captain He's house. Lu Yu had a faint smell of alcohol on his body, which was blown away by the wind. Jiang Nian was still weak and was led back by Lu Yu.
It's better to say that Jiang Nian's strength is attached to Lu Yu, but the man is like nothing happened, taking her back home. As soon as the door is closed, Jiang Nian is pressed against the door by Lu Yu, and she is held tightly and tightly by Lu Yu.
"Jiang Nian"
The man buried his head in her neck, and his voice, which was suffused by alcohol, was uniquely magnetic and hoarse: "You were my sister-in-law before, and I didn't tell Captain He and the others."
It's not that he didn't want to say it, but he was still afraid that Jiang Nian couldn't stand everyone's criticism and finally left him. Compared with losing her, he would rather bury this secret in his heart forever.
He could afford anything, could bear all the criticism, but he was not sure about Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian hugged Lu Yu, and said softly in his arms: "It's okay."
Maybe because Jiang Nian was tortured enough today, Lu Yu let her go at night. The two of them lay quietly on the bed. Jiang Nian rested her head on Lu Yu's arm, and drew circles on the man's abdominal muscles with her fingers, counting silently in her heart.
One piece
Two pieces
Until the sixth piece, her hand was suddenly grasped by Lu Yu, and the man stared at her with dark eyes: "Sleep or move, choose one."
Jiang Nian: !!!
She suddenly pulled her hand back, turned around and faced Lu Yu, her face red: "Go to sleep."
Just kidding, if she continued to bend/fly she was afraid that she would not be able to see the sun the next day.
Lu Yu hugged her from behind and touched Jiang Nian's soft belly with his palm. Jiang Nian's spine suddenly numbed. She was about to move forward a little, and then a little more, but the arm around her waist exerted a little force and lifted her over again. Her back was pressed tightly against Lu Yu's solid chest. Jiang Nian was frightened and grabbed the bony hand and said, "I'm sleepy."
Lu Yu: ...
"Go to sleep obediently."
The man closed his eyes and hugged Jiang Nian all night. Jiang Nian turned over and kicked her legs but was subdued by him. She didn't get out of the quilt all night and slept soundly. At dawn, Lu Yu kissed Jiang Nian on the lips, turned over, put on his clothes and went out.
This place is far from the regiment headquarters, and the horn sound is not heard in the morning. Jiang Nian was woken up by Lu Yu.
She opened her eyes dazedly and looked at Lu Yu who was close to her: "What time is it?"
"Nine o'clock, let's go to the city after dinner."
"Okay."
Jiang Nian struggled to get up from the bed, her legs were still trembling, she sent Lu Yu away, quickly got dressed and went out to wash up. After breakfast, Lu Yu washed the pots and bowls and took Jiang Nian out.
This time they drove there. Lu Yu drove out of the group early in the morning. If they drove fast, they could reach the city in less than an hour. Everyone in the embroidery house was there. Ge Mei did not go out this year. She talked about embroidery with Yu Xia and the others. When they entered this year, several people burst out laughing. Jia Yuan joked, "Hey, who's here?"
Suna agreed, "The bride." Fan
Shan also said, "Is the bride coming back to visit her parents-in-law?"
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Yes, she is."
There was laughter in the embroidery house. Lu Yu brought all the things in the car and put them on the table. Suna was still thinking about the bandit behavior of the others on the day Lu Yu picked up the bride, and said to Lu Yu unhappily, "Look, Look at you guys, you want to tear down our door for the bride-receiving party. If the door is broken, what shall we do if we freeze to death while sleeping at night?"
Shu Xue said: "Even if we don't freeze to death, what shall we do if we meet a thief?"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "They know how to handle things."
Then he put the things away and said: "I bought something for each of you, as compensation for the bride-receiving party that day."
Yu Xia ran over to take a look first. Everything was good stuff, which must have cost a lot of money. So she turned her head to look at Jiang Nian, and said with envy in her heart: "Jiang Nian, what great things did you do in your previous life to marry such a good man?"
Jiang Nian: ...
Lu Yu smiled.
At noon, Lu Yu treated us to a meal at the Red Star Hotel. During the meal, Ge Mei told us about the boss of Gangcheng: "Comrade Deng will come to Yuanshi in a few days. She has specifically asked to see you. When she comes, I will call you and you can come."
Jiang Nian said, "Okay."
She actually expected that Sister Deng would come, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Jiang Nian was confident in her embroidery and was sure that Sister Deng came this time because of the embroidery. Yu Xia heard it from the side and asked curiously, "Who is Comrade Deng?"
Ge Mei told them about the things between Gangcheng Deng Ke and Jiang Nian. After hearing this, several people looked at Jiang Nian in surprise. Dong Shu also looked at Jiang Nian. In the end, she said nothing and lowered her head to drink a glass of water.
Yu Xia sighed, "Jiang Nian, I was right, you were born to do this."
Shu Xue picked up a mouthful of meat and chewed it in her mouth. After swallowing it, she said, "I really regret that I didn't know you earlier. If I had known you earlier, I could have gone with my grandma to meet the old tailor who taught you embroidery."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Lu Yu almost subconsciously, and as expected, she met the man's gaze.
Jiang Nian:
It's over! The secret is exposed.
She didn't forget what she told Lu Yu before, that she was self-taught.
Lu Yu picked up a piece of meat for Jiang Nian and added some hot water to her cup: "Eat something."
It was a very normal sentence, but Jiang Nian inexplicably felt like she was going to settle the score at home.
She quickly lowered her head and didn't listen to what others said. Her mind was on Lu Yu. The way he lowered his eyes and the indifference when he raised his eyes made Jiang Nian feel like a storm was coming.
After dinner, they left the embroidery shop. Shu Xue walked with Jiang Nian. When she saw the watch on Jiang Nian's wrist, she held her wrist and raised it, shaking her head in envy, saying, "This must cost several hundred yuan. It's so expensive."
She had seen it in a department store before. It was very expensive. She had to embroider for a year to afford it. Even so, she had to save money and embroider non-stop.
Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, looking at the silver-white watch with a thin strap on her wrist. Since Lu Yu put it on her, she has worn it on her wrist except when she took it off to take a bath. However
, she has never asked Lu Yu how much it cost. Moreover, his money is all kept with her. Where did he get the money to buy a watch?
Jiang Nian raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Lu Yu behind her. The man was tall and long-legged, wearing a military green uniform, with short hair and cold eyes. He had a handsome face, with all the advantages of a male protagonist in a novel.
Jiang Nian: But, hiding private money?
This time Jiang Nian didn't need to embroider the picture first, and waited for Deng Ke to come over to see the situation. However, when Lu Yu came over, Ge Mei asked Lu Yu to take Jiang Nian's embroidery frame back. The embroidery frame was heavy, and Fan Shan and Shu Xue wanted to help Lu Yu, but Lu Yu lifted his hands and moved it out easily.
Shu Xue: ...
Fan Shan: ...
You are really strong.
Ge Mei gave Jiang Nian two red envelopes. Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment. Ge Mei said, "One is the reward for your embroidery, and the other is the red envelope I give you when you return home. You must accept this red envelope."
Jiang Nian's eyelashes burned, and he looked up at Ge Mei: "Sister Ge..."
The words were choked, not knowing how to continue.
Ge Mei stuffed the two red envelopes into Jiang Nian's hands and smiled: "Okay, go back quickly."
"Thank you, Sister Ge."
Jiang Nian put away the red envelopes, waved to Ge Mei before getting in the car, and left.
The car drove towards the direction of the troops with the windows closed. Jiang Nian turned her head to look at Lu Yu who was driving. The man's profile was angular, and when he was not smiling, his brows were cold and sharp, and there was a hint of alienation at the corners of his eyes. Lu Yu had noticed Jiang Nian's gaze early on, turned his head and glanced at her. The smile in his eyes instantly faded the sharpness in his brows.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Nian pursed her lips, and when Lu Yu looked at the road ahead again, she asked, "Did you hide your private money?"
Lu Yu: ...
He understood what Jiang Nian meant, and smiled, "I didn't give you the salary and allowance I received for the six months I was away last year."
Jiang Nian tilted his head to look at him, and heard Lu Yu continue, "Save it for this year's wedding."
Jiang Nian pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head to look at the road ahead, and suddenly heard Lu Yu ask, "Which old tailor taught you embroidery?"
