Chapter 131 Other People's Husband
In order to make it easier to put their things, the two of them pushed their bicycles there.
Today, the salesperson who recognized Su Heng was here again.
Of course, she also remembered Lu Mingchuan later, the husband who was lavish in buying snacks for his wife.
But I didn't expect that they were actually a couple.
But on second thought, this is normal.
She said that her wife must be very beautiful to be so pampered.
I was speechless when I saw Su Heng.
Su Heng noticed that the salesperson looked at her several times and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
The salesperson was caught peeking and said directly, "Oh, so you two are a couple. You have a really good relationship. Your husband even asked me how to knit a sweater before, saying that he wanted to knit a sweater for his wife."
"So you learned it here. Well, I have to thank you for that." After saying that, Su Heng turned around and looked at Lu Mingchuan.
You accuse me with your eyes and say all kinds of things, as if you are afraid that others will know that you don’t have a wife.
Lu Mingchuan looked innocent.
The salesperson said hurriedly, "You're welcome. What are you buying today?"
"Buy some daily necessities, it's okay, we'll take a look ourselves." Su Heng couldn't stand this enthusiasm.
Seeing this, the salesperson said nothing more and said, "Then you look at it and tell me what you want."
Su Heng smiled and nodded, then discussed with Lu Mingchuan to make a list of must-buy daily necessities.
First of all, I definitely need pots, pans, and sheets and quilts. I don’t have many at home, so I just come here to buy new ones.
As for quilts, the supply and marketing cooperatives sell cotton. It is better to buy it and find someone to make them yourself. The finished product will not be as thick as if you made it yourself.
There are also toiletries and so on.
Fortunately, the two of them brought all kinds of tickets in advance.
Lu Mingchuan rode his bike several times to get a lot of scattered things.
I bought several enamel basins and enamel pots with peony flowers, and the bed sheets were also printed with bright red peony flowers, so they looked like a set when I took them out.
Thinking that I would be visiting someone’s house at noon, I also bought a bag of brown sugar.
In the end, the two of them went home under the envious gaze of the salesperson.
But just as she put her things away and was about to start cleaning, Su Heng suddenly remembered that she didn't have a rag.
They did buy two towels per person, separate for bathing and for wiping their faces.
But you can’t use the newly bought towel as a rag, that would be too extravagant.
As they were talking, Feng Bin and Li Xiu Lian came over.
"Wow, this yard is really nice. Let's clean it up after dinner. Your sister-in-law has already prepared the meal."
"Okay, let's go and try my sister-in-law's cooking."
Su Heng and the other person put down what they were holding, picked up some candy and prepared to go eat.
Li Xiulian smiled and said, "I see you're going to clean up. If you don't have any rags, I'll get you two later."
There is definitely no such thing in the new house. Cloth is a precious thing these days.
Only old cloths are used as rags.
Su Heng immediately said, "That's great. I was just saying we were short of rags. Thank you, sister-in-law."
Li Xiulian smiled and said, "Don't be polite. We'll be neighbors from now on."
After chatting and laughing, they locked the gate and went to Feng Bin's house.
It’s indeed not far, just an alley, with only a few houses between them, but their house is on the other side of the alley.
Feng Bin's son was playing in the yard. Since the two adults were away for a while, he took a bamboo tube and played with water.
"Feng Haoyu! I think you're itching for trouble again?"
When Feng Bin saw the sheets that had just been dried in the yard were soaked with water, his blood pressure suddenly rose.
Boys aged eight or nine are at the age of being naughty, and he is also smart. As soon as his father gets angry, he immediately puts away the bamboo tube and hides behind his mother.
Feng Bin has always been the bad guy in their family. Li Xiu Lian is more gentle and cannot control this naughty boy.
Lu Mingchuan and the others were still there, and he couldn't let them wait while he scolded his son first, so Feng Bin had no choice but to say the classic words: "Stinky boy, just wait for me."
When Feng Haoyu saw the visitor at home, he knew that he was safe at the moment and did not take his father's words seriously.
He even jumped out with a playful smile to greet the guests: "Hello uncle, hello beautiful sister."
Su Heng was amused by him and handed over the bag of candy: "Hello, you are so sweet. Sister will treat you to some candy."
Just for calling her "beautiful sister", I should buy her two cans of food.
But when Lu Mingchuan heard the expressionless face of the uncle who was of a different generation, he suddenly understood why Feng Bin wanted to beat the child every day.
Feng Bin also said: "You kid, why are you calling me that? You are even younger than me."
Li Xiu Lian couldn't help but pat the naughty boy on the head.
"Okay then, hello big brother."
Anyway, the two of them were inexplicably one generation lower than Feng Bin.
A few people exchanged greetings and entered the house.
The food was already on the table and was still steaming.
The dishes were quite rich, including candied sweet potato and soybean pork trotter soup. The enthusiasm of the two people could be seen from these two dishes that took a lot of effort to prepare.
We were all acquaintances, so we didn't pay attention to anything and just sat down and started eating.
Li Xiu Lian's cooking skills are really good. The pig's trotters are stewed to be soft and tasty. I heard that they are stewed slowly over low heat. I guess she started stewing them when she heard that Su Heng and the others were coming to dinner.
After dinner, Su Heng helped to clean up the dishes.
Li Xiulian went into the house and brought her two large rags and a pole to sweep the dust off the beams.
The house has not been lived in for a long time, so it is not only dusty but also covered with cobwebs.
There is a piece of cloth tied to this pole, which is specially used to paint the beams of the house.
Su Heng thanked him and accepted it all with a smile. When they were leaving, Feng Bin asked if they wanted to stay in the city today.
Lu Mingchuan said, "We have to go back. There are no quilts here."
When he heard that they had bought cotton to make their own quilts, he enthusiastically offered to take them to the place where they could make quilts.
So Lu Mingchuan tied the cotton to the cart and went to make the quilt with Feng Bin.
Su Heng stayed at home and prepared to clean up first.
Su Heng thought the things on the beams were too tiring and some were out of reach, so she left them to Lu Mingchuan.
She first used a broom to brush off the dust on the wall and door frame.
Then I fetched some water and started wiping with a rag.
The windows in particular need to be cleaned, as any dust on the glass will be particularly noticeable.
Cleaning is really a tiring job, especially in winter when you use cold water, which can freeze your hands.
Su Heng wiped it for a while, but felt that it didn't work, so she went to the kitchen to clean the stove first.
I went to Li Xiulian to borrow some firewood to make a fire.
She has a wood stove, but there is no firewood in the city, so she has to buy even that.
After working for a while, when Lu Mingchuan came back, the water was just boiling.
"How is it? How long will it take to make the quilt?" Su Heng asked.
"It will probably take about ten days. We have another order ahead."
Lu Mingchuan came in and saw that Su Heng's hands were red from the cold, so he quickly put them in his arms to hold them.
"Don't wipe it, go take a rest, I'll do it."
Su Heng laughed: "How long are you going to finish this by yourself? I'll boil some hot water and it will be fine. Hurry up and finish it and go home early."
Lu Mingchuan kissed her red fingers and said nonchalantly, "If you can't finish it today, I'll find time to do it when I'm at work."
Seeing him openly saying that he was skipping work, Su Heng smiled and withdrew her hand.
"Okay, get to work."
