Chapter 48
Yu Xiuyao and others’ broths have been cooked, but they are not placed at Yu Xiuyao’s house. Yu Xiuyao is not stupid. If the broths of several families are placed together, if there is a problem with someone’s cooking, it will not be visible. So Yu Xiuyao asked each family to place their own broths, waiting for Lin Qingqing to check. Lin
Qingqing checked each family one by one, and found no problem. She also tried it and the taste was authentic, indicating that the seasoning she matched was not tampered with.
“The broth is fine, then I will take it away first. As for the remaining broth after the sauce is collected, the sisters-in-law can keep it for themselves. You can stir-fry it with vegetarian dishes tomorrow. It also has oil content and is very fragrant.” Lin Qingqing is not a stingy person. As long as everyone cooks well, the remaining broth will naturally be given to everyone. Brine is not only delicious for cooking, but also for mixing with rice. Some people like to mix brine with rice.
In this era when less than a pound of oil is used in a month, brine is indeed a rare oily thing.
The brine collected from the three families was directly placed at Yu Xiuyao's house, because Yu Xiuyao and Cui's sister-in-law had to deliver the goods tomorrow morning.
After checking the brine and returning home, it was already eight o'clock, and it was getting late. Lu Haici yawned and felt a little sleepy.
Lin Qingqing: "Lu Cheng, you use the hot water in the kettle to give Haici a bath first, I'll go and boil some hot water."
"Okay." Lu Cheng didn't make soap bubbles for Lu Haici, but directly rinsed him with water. He used soap every day, so the little guy was very clean. Before he finished taking a bath, Lu Haici was already unable to sleep. Seeing this, Lu Cheng put him directly on the crib.
Maybe the little guy was really sleepy and didn't even notice that he was in the crib.
When Lu Cheng went out, the pot of water that Lin Qingqing had boiled was also hot.
Lu Cheng: "You go take a bath, I'll do it next. I don't use hot water, I use cold water." He uses cold water not only in summer, but also in winter. It's just that he used it these few days because he saw that she supported taking hot water baths.
Lin Qingqing: "Okay, then I'll go take a bath first."
Lin Qingqing also took a quick bath. After the last incident of blowing her hair with an electric fan, she would no longer wash her hair at night, and would rather get up earlier in the morning. Last time, it was because it was her first day at work, so she wanted to dress herself up better.
After Lin Qingqing finished taking a shower and drying her clothes, Lu Cheng's water was not yet turned on. Lin Qingqing came to the kitchen door: "Lu Cheng, I'm done, I'll turn on the fire, you go take a shower." There was no light on in the kitchen because the fire was bright.
Lu Cheng stood up and came to the kitchen door.
When Lin Qingqing saw him coming out, she stood up to make way, but Lu Cheng didn't leave. He stood opposite her and looked at her. His eyes were not as sharp as during the day, and even carried a bit of grievance: "I want to talk to you."
Because it was night, even if there was moonlight outside and firelight in the kitchen, Lin Qingqing couldn't see his eyes clearly. However, she could hear some ignorance in his voice, which was probably the unique sensitivity of people who have been more sensitive since childhood. "Why don't you take a shower first, and we can talk after you're done?" She was a little uncomfortable with this face-to-face zero distance. After he finished showering, they talked on the bed, with Lu Haici in between, and she felt a little safe.
Oh my God, she actually had to rely on Lu Haici to feel safe. If Lu Haici knew, he would be very proud.
"Okay." Seeing that she was willing to talk to him, Lu Cheng took the water and went to take a shower.
After seeing her take a shower, Lin Qingqing immediately came to the stove and poured half of the water in the pot into the warm water kettle. After all, it was water for washing her face tomorrow, so it didn't need to be boiled. And there wasn't much water left, so it could boil quickly. The
reason why Lin Qingqing did this was because she knew that Lu Cheng took a shower quickly, and she had to fill the kettle with water before Lu Cheng finished his shower.
But today, Lin Qingqing guessed wrong, Lu Cheng didn't take a quick shower.
Lu Cheng felt that they had to have a good talk in the evening, and he wanted to wash himself cleanly with a very ceremonial sense. Anyway, he couldn't leave a bad impression on her.
Lin Qingqing waited for the water in the pot to boil and poured it into the hot water kettle. When Lu Cheng didn't come out, she breathed a sigh of relief and went into the room immediately. As a result, when she entered the room, she was stunned. Where is Lu Haici... Why is Lu Haici sleeping in the crib?
Naturally, the only one who can put Lu Haici on the crib is Lu Cheng. But when she thought of Lu Cheng actually doing this, Lin Qingqing was speechless. So, Lin Qingqing went to the crib again and carried Lu Haici to the big bed. Fortunately, Lu Haici was only five years old and not fat, otherwise she really couldn't hold him.
Lu Haici was sleeping soundly, and he felt someone holding him in a daze. He smelled a familiar smell, but he didn't open his eyes, just leaned into Lin Qingqing's arms, and then continued to sleep.
Lin Qingqing put Lu Haici on the bed, crawled in, and lay down.
When Lu Cheng came in after taking a shower, he saw Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici sleeping together. He: "..." He was stunned and it took him a long time to find his voice, "Why is he sleeping here? Before..." He put the crib in there with his own hands, but he couldn't say, "Didn't he say he wanted to sleep in the crib before going to bed?"
Lin Qingqing didn't believe him. Seeing that he lied without changing his expression, she said calmly, "I don't know. He was sleeping here when I came. Could he have slept in the crib before? But hasn't he always liked sleeping in a big bed? Why did he suddenly want to sleep in the crib today?"
Lu Cheng: "...I don't know either. Maybe he got too hot in the middle of the night yesterday and went to the crib, so he felt the crib was comfortable."
It would have been fine if Lu Cheng didn't mention this. Once he said this, Lin Qingqing understood everything. It turned out that Lu Haici went to sleep in the crib yesterday and Lu Cheng carried him there. She actually thought that Lu Haici went to sleep by himself, and even Lu Haici himself thought that he wet the bed, so he was carried to the crib.
This man... is too bad.
But he...
"He must still feel hot in the middle of the night, I'll carry him over." Lu Cheng continued to lie with his eyes open, "Also, he is five years old, it's time for him to learn to sleep by himself, let him sleep in the crib for a few days, and then let him sleep in another room after a few days." Lu Cheng suddenly remembered something, Lin Qingqing had never taken the initiative to mention the wedding night, maybe she was not really angry with him, but because with Lu Haici, that little bastard, around, they simply couldn't have a wedding night.
Lin Qingqing, who knew Lu Cheng's intention, would never let Lu Cheng have his way. This man wanted to sleep alone in bed with her. What if something unexpected happened? When she thought of this, her heartbeat quickened. So she quickly held Lu Haici and
said, "Forget it today. It's very disrespectful to just carry him over like this. We must learn to respect him. Even if he is only five years old, he is... he has dignity." Lu Cheng: "..." Why didn't he understand a word Lin Qingqing said? Moreover, how is it disrespectful to carry him to the crib?
Lin Qingqing added, "Lu Haici has been without a mother since he was a child, so he is particularly attached to me. I think this is conducive to cultivating our relationship. You also hope that we have a good relationship, right?"
Lu Cheng: "..." If he doesn't agree with Lu Haici sleeping in the big bed, does that mean he doesn't want them to have a good relationship?
Lin Qingqing: "Ah, don't you have something to tell me? Or tell me about your things first."
Lu Cheng was helpless. Lin Qingqing had said so, what could he do? If he forced the little bastard to move to the crib, Lin Qingqing would probably think that he was going to bully the little bastard.
Another thing, he also felt Lin Qingqing's nervousness at the moment. From the somewhat awkward words at noon to her somewhat nervous tone now, she was a little confused.
Lu Cheng lay on the bed. He did not sleep properly like he used to, but turned around and faced Lin Qingqing. Looking at her slightly drooping eyes, looking at her long eyelashes, looking at her eyes trembling from time to time.
"You..." Lin Qingqing could feel him staring at her, she said uncomfortably, "Aren't you going to turn off the lights?"
"No hurry." Lu Cheng said slowly. "I have a question for you."
"What's the question?" Lin Qingqing tried to calm herself down, she knew that some things could not be avoided, and avoiding them would not solve the problem. At noon, she had thought about how to face Lu Cheng in the future, so at this moment, she was not going to escape.
"On the day of our wedding, I refused the bridal chamber, are you still angry with me?" Lu Cheng asked. When he asked, his eyes were fixed on her, not wanting to miss every expression of hers.
Lin Qingqing: "..." Damn, so serious, so solemn, and asked such a question? Comrade, you are being a hooligan. "I'm not angry. Didn't you say that we had to hurry back to the army the next day and couldn't be too tired? This is for my own good, how could I be angry?" Is this the straight male thinking that she can't understand?
Lu Cheng is not sure if she is really angry, because he doesn't understand lesbians. "Then why don't you mention the wedding night again now that I'm back?"
Lin Qingqing: "..." What should she say? Feeling the soft Lu Haici in her hand, she suddenly thought of a perfect answer, "Because Lu Haici is here, we can't have a wedding night next to him, right?"
Lu Cheng thought to himself, it's really because of this little bastard.
"But Lu Cheng, I have something to say to you too." In case Lu Cheng asked when we would have a wedding night, Lin Qingqing hurriedly spoke, otherwise when Lu Cheng asked this question, I don't think I would know how to answer.
Lu Cheng: "You tell me."
Lin Qingqing took a deep breath: "Lu Cheng, can we have an agreement? Something happened to me, and this thing prevents me from spending the wedding night with you... with you."
"Are you sick?" Lu Cheng's heart tensed up, and he couldn't help but sound worried in his tone.
"No, no." Lin explained softly, "I'm in good health, but there are reasons that I can't tell you, but this reason only happens between you and me, and it won't affect anyone else, nor the organization. So Lu Cheng, can you give me two years? I will give you a letter tomorrow during the day, but you can only open this letter two years from now, and then decide whether you want to be my revolutionary partner, okay?"
She gave herself two years. If the original owner came back within two years, she wouldn't know where she was by then, so she wouldn't have to think about the little things in this world. After Lu Cheng read the letter, he understood why she needed two years. Although it might be unfair to the original owner who came back for her to leave a letter, it would also be unfair to Lu Cheng if she concealed everything and disappeared.
But if the original owner didn't come back within two years, and she still stayed in this world, then... she was willing to be with Lu Cheng, truly together. She didn't want to live alone in this strange world after her grandmother passed away. This was the chance she gave herself.
But now, she couldn't be a real couple with Lu Cheng, because Lu Cheng was someone else's husband. So, she gave each other two years. After two years, she was still there, and she would see how Lu Cheng, who had received the letter, would make a choice.
