Pei Zheng received a cumulative penalty buff, and his penalty runs were scheduled on weekend nights.
Lu Nong was very satisfied with this arrangement. You know, her schedule had already planned all of Pei Zheng's time. Based on the principle of humanitarianism, she left Pei Zheng some breathing space, and he had two hours of free time every weekend night.
Unexpectedly, Pei Jianan and she have such a good tacit understanding.
During breakfast, Lu Nong thought of his three unlucky brothers and asked his godmother, "Godmother, did Xiao Zhang, Xiao Shen, and Xiao Jiang come to work on time yesterday?"
She deliberately glanced at Pei Zheng and then continued, "Don't be lenient with the performance evaluation form I gave you. Draw red flowers where they should be drawn and crosses where they should be drawn. After a month, we will post the evaluation forms on the bulletin board and let them be inspected by the people."
Mother Wu also glanced at Pei Zheng and said, "Hey, I'll remember this. I won't be soft-hearted."
"No, no, no, no!" the kid shouted.
“…”
Pei Ji'an touched Zizi's little head and said nothing about what Lu Nong said, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Pei Zheng froze. Xiao Zhou lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, thinking that he must never offend his wife in the future. It was too cruel.
The wives think the bulletin board is too far away and don't like to go there, but the leaders like to look at it and go over to chat in their free time.
Pei Zheng and his gang of hooligans in the compound are fearless and can't even control their own mother. The only thing they are afraid of is their father's leather belt. Madam has a firm grasp on their vital points.
If I post that assessment form on the bulletin board, when the heads of various companies are chatting, they will see the assessment form and wonder, "Huh? Why is my kid's name on it?"
Take another look, huh? Why is there a black cross behind my kid's name? Why do the kids of Zhang/Shen/Jiang/Pei have more red flowers than my kid?
Damn it, you brought shame to me, I’m going to beat you up when I get home.
Even Pei Zheng couldn't escape. When other brothers returned home and were beaten by their fathers, could the leader not give Pei Zheng a symbolic beating?
Xiao Zhou thought about the probability of Pei Zheng getting beaten, while Pei Zheng shuddered. If time could go back, he would definitely tell himself not to mess with a woman named Lu. Even if time could go back a little, he would want to go back and tell himself who was robbing the toilet with the cunning woman named Lu: Run! You can't beat her.
Pei Zheng took a deep breath. Now was not the time to regret the past. If he wanted to find a way to solve the current trouble, he must not let Lu Nong post that useless form on the bulletin board. He had to save face. If Han Lu and his gang accidentally saw him, would he still be alive?
It really didn't work, so he secretly followed Lu Nong on the day she posted the notice board, and waited until she left and then tore it down when no one was around.
After breakfast, Lu Nong and Pei Zheng took the bus to school together. Pei Ji'an had to go back to work today and couldn't take them there.
In fact, Pei Zheng had a bicycle, and he once suggested taking Lu Nong to school in the morning, but Lu Nong firmly refused.
The back seat of a boy's bicycle, like the passenger seat of a man's, is reserved for the wife. As a stepmother, she can sit on it once or twice in an emergency, but it is not appropriate for her to sit on it every day to go to school.
And please, Pei Zheng is the male protagonist of the novel, so the back seat of his bicycle should be left to the female protagonist. The male protagonist must observe male ethics.
But when Pei Zheng heard Lu Nong say she wanted to take the bus, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He had a bike but didn't ride it, and insisted on taking the bus with her.
He was like a thief on the road, separating herself from the crowd everywhere. Whenever she spoke to others, he would stand by and eavesdrop like a door god. No, it was different. Other door gods were righteous and majestic, while Pei Zheng had a gloomy face as if people owed him two million. He scared people around them so much that they walked around them.
Lu Nong: “…”
When they arrived at school, they were about to part ways. Pei Zheng hesitated for a moment before speaking to Lu Nong, "Come to me if you have anything to say. If someone bullies you, ask someone to bring me a message and I'll come over right away."
Thinking of the gangsters he met in the photo studio last time and the men on the bus who were staring at Lu Nong, he even saw a few women going crazy at Lu Nong. Pei Zheng felt extremely resentful. What's the point of having a stepmother who is so pretty? Pretty can't make a living.
Lu Nong closed his eyes and nodded vigorously, then stood on tiptoe and patted Pei Zheng on the shoulder. Without any excuse, he said, "Don't worry. I would have planned this even if you didn't tell me. If something happens, who will do it if you don't?"
Pei Zheng: "...Thank you." You are worthy of me. If you were more polite, I would really suspect that you were threatened.
Lu Nong: "You're welcome. Here, this is your schedule. Take it."
She lowered her head, took out the class schedule she had prepared overnight from her schoolbag and handed it to Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng was confused. Didn't Lu Nong insist on asking him for the class schedule? Why did he return it again? He took it and took a look.
“…”
"What is this!?" Pei Zheng looked at the schedule in disbelief, then at Lu Nong.
"Class schedule." Lu Nong pretended not to understand Pei Zheng's meaning, saying, "How come you don't even know this?"
"…I know this is my course schedule. What I'm asking is, why are there so many self-taught sophomore year content on it?"
Pei Zheng carefully checked the schedule again. He even had to use his rest time at night to study. "Are you still human? According to the content you arranged here, do I have any personal time?"
"Yes," Lu Nong pointed to a small blank box at the bottom of the schedule and said honestly, "Look, you can do whatever you want on weekend nights. Uh, but you just wasted it this morning."
Pei Zheng: “…”
This morning, five kilometers, punishment, dragged until the weekend.
Pei Zheng choked up, thinking of the trap he had set himself this morning. He tried hard to suppress the urge to strangle Lu Nong. All the facts proved that if he went against the woman surnamed Lu, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
To make matters worse, Lu Nong added, "Don't try to be lazy. I will check your progress. Our goal is to complete freshman and sophomore courses this year, and junior and senior courses next year, and strive to get your degree certificate in advance. Maybe you can also take the postgraduate entrance examination."
"Come on!" Lu Nong gestured with his hands, full of ambition as if he had foreseen that moment.
Pei Zheng's current state was portrayed as lifeless eyes, a look of despair and a dead fish. He walked away without saying a word, holding his schedule, his steps unsteadily. At first glance, his back looked somewhat desolate and miserable.
Lu Nong shook his head. It must be an illusion. I heard Pei Zheng was a top student. How could a top student not like studying? He must be too excited.
This was another busy day for Lu Nong. Except for eating and taking naps, he was studying all the time. He not only studied the content of his grade, but also attended the senior year's classes after his freshman and sophomore years. After the classes, he went to the library to review and organize the various knowledge he had learned in the day.
Lu Nong has become famous in the entire history department this time, and there is only one reason for this: she is so studious.
It's not that other people aren't hardworking. In fact, most of the students who are admitted to this top university in the country are both hardworking and smart. However, most people have limited energy. In addition, the school itself arranges courses according to the maximum amount of knowledge that these talented students can absorb. People with slightly more average qualifications study very hard and may not be able to keep up without staying up late to study hard.
Of course, there are people who have spare time to learn other things after completing the courses arranged by the school step by step. These people are the best of the best. However, even this group of people cannot match Lu Nong's learning workload.
At most, everyone continued to study along a systematic path, in a planned and step-by-step manner, so as not to mix up the knowledge they learned. However, Lu Nong was very strange. She took courses from four grades at the same time, accepting all of them and never refusing anything. Even so, there was no sign of reluctance on her face.
Lu Nong's brutality is evident from this.
Cheng Duoduo tried to keep up with her. She went to class wherever Lu Nong went, and went to the library to study when Lu Nong went to the library. As a result, she successfully made herself depressed.
In the school library, Cheng Duoduo looked at Lu Nong with complicated feelings. She was originally a very proud person. In this day and age, being admitted to a university is something to be proud of, and being admitted to the best university in the country is even more proud. Among all her brothers and sisters, she was the only one who was admitted to Peking University. Her parents were happy and her siblings were jealous. She was so proud that her tail was almost flying up to the sky.
But after only two days, he was beaten by Lu Nong and there was nothing left.
Some people in one class scoffed at Lu Nong's study method, thinking that she was either pretending or would give up after two days of study. Everyone was waiting to see Lu Nong make a fool of herself.
Cheng Duoduo encountered people who said sarcastic words several times, and she especially wanted to go up to them and tell them to wake up, because some people are born better than you, and just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.
She followed Lu Nong the whole time for the past two days. Lu Nong listened attentively in class and never organized her notes. But in the library, she could take notes of several subjects at the same time. What she wrote down must be a complete knowledge system, which means that she not only remembered it but also organized it in her mind.
Cheng Duoduo compared the notes he took during class with those of Lu Nong, and found that their levels were much different. When he asked Lu Nong about things he didn't understand in class, Lu Nong always gave the most perfect answers.
What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. A little probing will reveal that Lu Nong is truly a genius who can do multiple things at the same time.
"That's all for today."
Lu Nong saw that it was getting late outside, and she would miss the last bus if she was any later. She closed her notebook and stretched with unfinished thoughts, planning to go home at night and continue reading.
Cheng Duoduo came back to his senses, quickly stood up and packed up, "Oh, OK, let's go."
"Do you want to take my newly organized notes home to continue studying?" Lu Nong looked at Cheng Duoduo with sparkling eyes.
At first, Lu Nong felt that Cheng Duoduo was a little too superficial, but after spending two days together, Lu Nong successfully saw one of her strengths - she loved learning. He followed her around, asked her questions, and was in a high mood for learning. He was a good comrade and classmate who could study with her.
Cheng Duoduo: “…” Thank you, that’s not necessary.
……最終程多多含淚收下了陸濃同學的筆記，在她心裏已經把陸濃當成天才神仙級人物了，既然有幸和陸濃做朋友，自然不能讓她對自己失望。
程多多在心裏咬咬牙，不就是回家繼續學嗎？學，不睡覺也要學嗚嗚嗚嗚。
陸濃不知道程多多的想法，和她一起出了學校，等看到已經等在門外的裴铮猛然意識到，不好，程多多對裴铮還存着老牛吃嫩草的心。
然而出乎意料的是，程多多心事重重地抱着自己給她的幾個筆記本和陸濃告別，鄭重地握拳說，“濃濃姐，你放心我絕不辜負你對我的期望，一定好好學習。”
随後徑直從裴铮身邊走過，完全沒注意裴铮那麽一大坨人就在眼前。
陸濃：“……”肅然起敬。
學習的魅力太強大了，連男人都能抛擲腦後。
聽着兩人交談的裴铮：“……”陸濃身邊怎麽盡是神經病？
啧，也可能是又一個被陸濃逼瘋的。
回到家，裴铮申請抱着弟弟學習，被陸濃無情拒絕。
沈既明、蔣聿、張開平三人來找裴铮打籃球，被陸濃無情拒絕，三人還不得不留下幫吳媽幹活，幹完活要和裴铮一起學習文化知識。
關鍵是他們還不能反抗——裴铮已經把早上陸濃喪心病狂的發言告訴了三人，簡直見者傷心聞者落淚。
繼子倒黴弟弟們都卷起來後，陸濃又把黑手伸向幹媽、兒子和兒子的愛寵小白。
飯桌上，陸濃提出從明天開始，老太太每天或早或晚要和她一起鍛煉身體，兒子要學會用筷子吃飯自己穿衣服，小白要學會到指定地點便便。
一家子除了裴寂安都有一張考核量化表。
老太太：“……”萬萬沒想到火還能燒到她身上。
“小姐，我就不用了吧，你看我都這麽老了。”老太太吓得連舊時小姐的稱呼都帶出來了。
陸濃搖頭，“那不行，幹媽，您看連寶寶和小白都有任務，您老這麽打大歲數了更要以身作則，每天都要打卡，咱們的家庭考核量化表就貼在樓下，完成任務畫小紅花，完不成任務畫黑叉叉。”
崽崽學陸濃說話，“叉叉！”
裴铮同情地看了自家弟弟一眼，小老弟，你媽瘋了，連只狗都不放過。
沈既明三人低頭扒飯，心裏默念看不見他們看不見他們。
唯有裴寂安放下吳媽單獨給他熬的補湯，沒錯現在老太太已經完全不掩飾了，一家人的補湯各不相同，陸濃和老太太自己喝的是補氣益血一類，裴铮喝的是壯骨補鈣一類，裴寂安喝的則是補腎壯陽一類。
“只有我沒有任務嗎？”裴寂安看向陸濃。
陸濃想到昨晚的事就氣，今天白天一天妮妮碰碰就敏感，她挪開視線，并不是很想和老色批對視。
哼，她想好了，今晚就去和崽崽幹媽一起睡，遠離你這個老色批！
不過既然老色批自己主動撞到她手裏，就別怪她心狠手辣了，呵呵。
“……也行，你受過傷身子虛，從明天開始讓幹媽再多熬一碗補湯。”陸濃說。
裴寂安：“……”
“噗——”這是裴铮和蔣聿。
“咳咳……”這是沈既明。
張開平撓撓頭，看看這個看看那個，低下頭不敢吭聲。
陸濃見目的達到了，繼續說，“至于學習上的任務，你不是在學英語嗎？每天打卡背兩百個單詞，學二十個語法，讀會十頁英文名著，我每天晚上檢查怎麽樣？”
？？裴铮一臉奇怪，他爸可是軍校的優秀畢業生，俄語英語甚至各地方言都賊溜的人，怎麽這會兒還要特地學英語？
裴寂安沒在意兒子的目光，一臉淡定點頭，“可以。”
吃完晚飯，家裏除了崽崽和裴寂安，每個人都唉聲嘆氣，只有陸濃幹勁滿滿去書房繼續學習。
淩晨兩點半，陸濃再一次睡死在書桌上……明天周六全天沒課，和秦大姐約好參加茶話會，陸濃本來打算學到三點。
這回裴寂安沒有試圖推醒她，自然而然地把她抱到了卧室床上，到了床上比趴在桌子上睡舒服，陸濃調整了下身體，睡得更熟了。
裴寂安盯着陸濃看了一會兒，走出卧室，再進來的時候手裏端了一盆清水，他走到床頭把陸濃半抱在懷裏，耐心地為她擦拭臉頰和雙手。
裴寂安的動作和緩溫柔，陸濃舒服了，全程配合他側臉伸手，擦完以後甚至開始打起小呼嚕。
這天半夜，陸濃腦子裏有根弦，讓她又從睡夢中醒過來。
和昨晚一模一樣焦灼的姿勢，不論是她還是裴寂安，她的腿放在不該放在的位置，裴寂安的手仍放在昨夜那個不該放在的位置上。
她身上穿的是睡衣。
陸濃望天，雙眼無神、生無可戀、死魚一樣毫無機制的眼神像極了早上的裴铮。
她轉頭望向裴寂安，幽幽地說：“你是不是醒着？”
裴寂安沒說話，只是把陸濃往懷裏帶了帶說，“睡吧，明天你不是還要早起陪幹媽鍛煉身體嗎？”
陸濃：“……”你大爺的香蕉菠蘿哈密瓜。
她也不抱着裴寂安的胳膊了，直接擺爛，在黑暗裏慢慢伸出一根國際通用手勢比向裴寂安。
裴寂安不知道看懂沒，不過陸濃心想像他這種老色批即使看懂也應該不在意。
“哼！”陸濃越想越氣，用腳踢了踢他，咬着牙說，“你是不是每天晚上都這樣？”
“不是，”裴寂安聲音不高不低，和昨晚如出一轍的平靜。
過了一會兒，他嘆了口氣說，“最開始是你自己跑進我懷裏的。”
一句話陸濃成功讓陸濃啞口無言，可接下來裴寂安又說：
“講講道理吧濃濃，你讓老太太每天熬湯，今天說要熬兩碗，我是個正常男人。”
這是裴寂安第一次叫出陸濃的小名，聲音低沉溫柔，帶着一絲絲無奈，可惜陸濃現在滿腦子都想為自己正名，壓根沒聽出別的意思。
“我、我……我跟你說過不是我讓幹媽熬補藥！”
“那今晚呢？”
陸濃：“……”她簡直啞巴吃黃連，有苦說不出。
算了，毀滅吧，這個無情的世界。
陸濃閉上眼睛，告訴自己沒什麽，等着吧，等你傷好了，早晚有一天她要把便宜占回來。
又是迷迷糊糊将要睡過去時，她總算想起方才裴寂安似乎叫了她的小名，那她是不是也要改變對裴寂安的稱呼了？
第二天一早，為了陪幹媽鍛煉身體，陸濃六點就起床，起來的時候裴寂安已經不在家，一側的床鋪和被子整整齊齊疊好。
裴寂安這兩天比沒受傷之前還忙，聽幹媽說她不在家的時候，裴寂安中午也沒回來吃飯。
陸濃坐在床上發呆，思考以後如何對待（折騰）裴寂安。
想了很久也沒想到好主意，可惡，讓他多喝一碗補湯，最後老色批裴寂安竟然用這個理由轉嫁過錯，懲罰的竟然是自己，還有天理嗎？
陸濃濃表示自己想不通，她生氣捶手，憤憤不平地起床。
一下樓，見只有幹媽一個人在摘豆角，陸濃環顧四周，“幹媽，裴铮沒起來嗎？”
老太太見到陸濃吓了一個哆嗦，心裏狂喊阿彌陀佛，按她對陸濃的了解周六周末小姐是會睡懶覺的，早上她還特意沒敲門送湯水，就是為了讓小姐多睡會兒，忘掉昨天說的拉着她這個老婆子鍛煉的話。
沒承想小姐還是起來了，老太太現在心驚膽戰，怕她提鍛煉的事，連忙禍水東引，“小铮啊，他還沒起來呢，在睡懶覺，濃濃你趕緊去叫他起來，家裏有一堆活兒等着他幹，對了，不是還安排他學習嗎？要的要的，學習好啊。”
“……”
幹媽您也太明顯了吧？
不過陸濃沒戳破老太太，決定先搞定裴铮。
她上樓敲裴铮的門，沒敲幾下裴铮就開門，黑着臉咬牙說，“我知道了，這就去把他們三個喊來。”
好兄弟有福同享有難同當，既然打不過陸濃，那就多喊幾個人陪他一起。
啧啧，陸濃搖頭，這就是純純的社會主義兄弟情啊，張開平他們不得謝謝裴铮？
老太太到底沒逃過陸濃的魔爪，被她抓着一起運動了半個小時。
半個小時後陸濃總算放過了吳媽，吳媽和裴铮對視一眼，簡直惺惺相惜，這天開始祖孫情更上一層樓。
早上八點，陸濃開始化妝打扮準備參加聚會。
秦嫂子告訴過她，每回大院軍嫂小聚都是葉副師長家的鄭嫂子主持的，有時候會有個主題，例如組織軍嫂們勞動、做吃食慰問戰士，當然還有給沒愛人的官兵牽線搭橋找個妻子。
這次聽說是大院裏有幾家的兒子找到女朋友了，裏面恰好有鄭嫂子的兒子，鄭嫂子一尋思，幹脆約了大家聚一聚，也好趁機試試未來兒媳婦的斤兩。
Several other families thought this was a good idea and responded one after another. They also called their daughters-in-law who had not yet married into the family to join in the fun. Now, even if the families had no intention of competing with each other originally, they had to compare in the end.
How to compare? Appearance, dressing, conversation, and interpersonal relationships.
When respecting others, you should respect their clothes first, and when it comes to dressing up, you will definitely start by rolling up your sleeves.
So even though this was Lu Nong's first appearance, she was not the protagonist, so there was no need for her to dress very ostentatiously, and of course there was no need for her to deliberately look ugly. Sister Qin once said that there were several military wives who came from well-off families, and their dressing styles were no worse than Lu Nong's.
Besides, she is more than ten years older than Pei Ji'an, so it would be bad if she dressed in a way that made her look younger. It would be better if she dressed maturely without stealing the spotlight.
Lu Nong picked a soft white skirt that would not go wrong. This kind of skirt would make people look quiet and ladylike, and indirectly make them look a few years older. Her hair was neatly tied behind her head with a rubber band, nothing else fancy. She only put on skin care products on her face, not even lipstick.
However, Lu Nong's lips are naturally red and her teeth are white, so there is not much difference whether she wears makeup or not.
She went to Sister Qin's house first. Sister Qin took her around, looked her up and down and said, "You've exposed your forehead today. Why do I think you look better?"
Then he looked at Lu Nong's skirt and said, "Your clothes are too plain. I can see that you don't want to be in the limelight. The one from the Shen family who likes to wear red skirts doesn't care whether she steals the limelight from others. Sister Zheng is a gentle person and won't care about these details. Besides, sister, it's hard for you not to be in the limelight with your looks. Let's just ignore it. We are proud of our good looks. Besides, your attitude is already here. It's hard for them to complain even if they forgive you!"
Lu Nong was moved after hearing this. Sister Qin’s values were simply too positive.
Mrs. Zheng's house is just behind Sister Qin's house. It was still early, so Sister Qin gave Lu Nong some basic knowledge about the closeness of the family relationships and the personalities of military wives. Half an hour later, the two of them went out.
When Lu Nong and Sister Qin arrived, several people were already chatting.
When they saw them come in, the women in the living room all looked over and there was a moment of silence in the air.
