Chapter 138 Eavesdropping

Today, Lin Shu made her own hand-rolled noodles and didn't ask him to help.

Lu Shaotang forced himself to calm down in the house for a while, and when nothing unusual happened, he came out to help her light the fire and cook noodles.

In the hot summer, the noodles are rinsed with cold water, and then the soup is made with warm water, and a chopstick of lard, a spoonful of soy sauce, three spoonfuls of vinegar, and a spoonful of chili oil are added. Then cucumber shreds, tomatoes, boiled vegetables and the like are put in, filling a large bowl.

Lu Shaotang eats noodles, and the two children lie on the side and watch. Dad has a big appetite. He eats such a big bowl of noodles!

Panpan: "Dad, shall I peel garlic for you?"

Lu Shaotang: "No."

He glanced at Lin Shu, who had a bad taste after eating raw onions and garlic, but his wife wouldn't let him kiss her.

Was there a little skin on the corner of her mouth? He was really a little...too rough just now.

Lu Shaotang felt guilty and smiled at Lin Shu in a flattering way, which earned him a roll of the eyes from his wife.

Tiantian: "Dad, where's my dad? Why doesn't he come?"

Lu Shaotang: "He's at work."

He reached out to Lin Shu, "Wife, come and sit."

Lin Shu sat a little away from him and told him about Chen Yanming's money collection.

Lu Shaotang: "He probably thought you were going to buy something I couldn't afford, so he was helping us to raise money."

Lin Shu thought about it, did she mention buying electrical appliances? She laughed, "This Chen Yanming."

Lu Shaotang stopped eating noodles and stared at her. She clearly called him Brother Chen, why was he calling him by his name now, and calling him so... intimately?

No, he was jealous.

He stood up, holding the bowl of noodles and sitting next to Lin Shu, holding her hand at the right time to prevent her from avoiding him.

"It's okay, just help him hold it, and use it for him to get married later."

Lin Shu: "Okay."

Lu Shaotang whispered: "Wife, shall we live in the city or Qizhou?"

Lin Shu was surprised: "You want to change your career?"

Lu Shaotang: "No, it's a joint job, and we can arrange accommodation in Qizhou and Rongcheng."

He was afraid that Lin Shu would think it was too young, and he didn't have the ability to get a big yard in the city at the moment, so he said: "Let's just live there from time to time."

The voice of this was not suppressed, and was heard by the two children.

They stared at Lu Shaotang with their eyes wide open in disbelief. Dad actually wanted to abandon them and kidnap mom!

Too much!

So you are such a father!

Humph, I'm not going to be with you anymore!

The children are angry!

Lin Shu cleared her throat, "Of course we would take the house if the company gave us a house, so that we can go to the city conveniently and don't have to stay in a guesthouse." She smiled at the two angry children, "We can also have a place to stay when we take Tiantian and Panpan to the city to play."

How can you refuse a free house? Even if it is used as a hotel, it still counts, and you can go back to visit your eldest sister's family.

The two children smiled and said, "Yeah!"

Mom is still the best!

Roll your eyes at dad!

Lu Shaotang: "..."

The two children lost their dad and immediately surrounded their mother to ask about her well-being, caring if she was still dizzy, and wanted to hug and kiss her.

When Lu's second sister-in-law came back, she saw a family of four lying in the main room, and said sourly: "Hey, the third child is back."

Lu Shaotang turned serious for a second, called the second sister-in-law, and stopped talking and concentrated on eating noodles.

Second Sister-in-law Lu was so angry. What happened? You were talking and laughing when I was not home, but you became silent when I came back?

She was absolutely sure that they were saying bad things about her!

"What did you say just now? You were so happy, why didn't you say anything?" She deliberately went to get some water, but glanced at Lu Shaotang's bowl and found the thin noodles made by Lin Shu. How come this family has three rooms now? You adults and children all eat thin noodles?

Lin Shu: "Nothing was said."

Second Sister-in-law Lu snorted in anger, turned around and left angrily.

As soon as she left, Lu Shaotang whispered to Lin Shu again: "It's okay, there are dormitories in Rongcheng and Qizhou, I can get a two-bedroom one."

There is always a chance to have a world of two.

He heard Lu Ersao hiding outside and eavesdropping but didn't take it seriously. He just held his voice because he didn't want her to hear the couple

's private conversation. Lu Ersao was really aggrieved now. The couple said bad things about her in the house in broad daylight. Is there any justice in the world?

She went back to her room and lay on the kang to vent her anger and wipe her tears.

At first, Fang Dihua and Lu Laodi were very happy when Lu Shaotang came back. They prepared delicious food and asked about his well-being. But now that their son was fine, they were not so enthusiastic.

Come back if you want. There is food and drink, a wife and children.

After dinner, Lu Shaotang wanted to help Lu Erge with work, but was rejected by Lu Erge.

The second brother Lu was very happy that the third brother came back, "You should spend more time with your sister-in-law and the children."

Lu Shaotang went to accompany his wife with peace of mind.

It was not time to make dinner yet, so she continued to make clothes.

Now there are not many people in the countryside who ask her to make clothes. Most of them are clothes of Li Xiaoru's classmates and colleagues brought by Jiang Weidong.

After graduating from high school, Li Xiaoru was arranged to work in a drama troupe. That is a unit where she can openly put on makeup and wear beautiful clothes. Girls who come to work in such units are from well-off families. Having enough food and drink is the basic need, and they still have spare time to make new clothes, buy musical instruments, books and the like.

They think Li Xiaoru's skirt is beautiful, and the workmanship is not worse than those of the old tailors, but the style is much better than that of the old tailors.

Even though the styles looked the same, Lin Shu's work had more details than other tailors', and those details were enough to make them excited.

Lin Shu stepped on the sewing machine, pressing the cloth pieces in her hands and feeding them into the feed port smoothly, and the pieces of cloth were sewn together.

Lu Shaotang sat opposite her and watched her, while Panpan and Tiantian sat on his left and right and watched together.

Lin Shu stopped helplessly and glared at them one by one, "You guys, go do what you have to do."

Lu Shaotang: "I want to accompany my wife."

Tiantian and Panpan: "I want to accompany my father and my wife."

Lin Shu: "..."

She assigned them tasks, "The big tree roots we dug out earlier are still drying there, go chop some firewood."

Lu Shaotang: "Okay."

He stood up and quickly took off his shirt and vest, revealing his strong and muscular upper body.

Lin Shu: "!!!"

She immediately rushed over and put the vest on him, "What are you doing!"

Lu Shaotang: "Chopping firewood, I won't sweat if I wear clothes."

Men who exert themselves are shirtless, so that they don't waste clothes, and they are not afraid of the sun anyway.

Lin Shu looked at the very obvious vest marks on his chest and abdomen, which were covered by the vest, and his two strong arms were very dark in the sun.

She deliberately ignored the scars on his body, not asking about their origins, as if she would not feel bad for them. She

said angrily: "Don't set a good example for the child. It's not right to take off your clothes at any time."

Xu Erzhu and others who came to work at home also liked to go shirtless when they first turned the millstone. They all put on cloth vests after being persuaded by Fang Dihua.

Fang Dihua was mainly thinking about Lin Shu, the third daughter-in-law was shy.

But Lin Shu didn't want Lu Shaotang to show his good figure to others.

Don't think she didn't know that as soon as Lu Shaotang came back, Zhao Meifeng and Lu Shaocai climbed over the wall to peek at him, and the young ladies and wives in the village also came to see him for no reason.

They may not have any idea about him, but they definitely wanted to see him for nothing. Who wouldn't want to see a tall and handsome guy?

If they could see his chest and abdominal muscles, wouldn't that be a big win?

Lin Shu felt that she would be at a loss.

He must be instilled with the concept of observing male ethics, otherwise the old men would live a rough life, not to mention shirtless, they might even dare to go to the river to bathe naked.

Lu Shaotang saw that her cheeks were a little red, as if she was shy, and he didn't understand. The couple had done everything and seen everything, so why was he blushing with his shirtless?

Tiantian was usually taught a lot by Lin Shu, such as not to show her body to others, and if someone lifted her skirt or small vest, she would spit at him and tell her family.

She said in a baby voice, "Dad, you have to protect yourself. You can't show your body to others casually, no matter if you are a man or a woman."

This is what her mother taught her.

Lu Shaotang turned his head to look at Lin Shu, "Huh?"

This is the first time he has heard of this since he was a child. It is really fresh.

The children in the village run around the streets with their butts naked. The men spend the summer with their shirts bare. Many men who harvest wheat and corn do this.

Lin Shu felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, but she poked his chest muscle and pretended to be fierce and said, "Why, you don't want to wear it? I tell you, Lu Shaotang, only I can see your body, so don't go out to attract bees and butterflies." Lu

Shaotang laughed, pinched her waist with his big hands, lifted her up and kissed her, "Got it!"

He not only put on the vest, but also put on the military shirt again.

Seeing that he wanted to button up his windbreaker, Lin Shu quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, don't go too far."

Don't be like an old antique.

Lu Shaotang smiled at her and whispered, "Well, just show it to yourself."

Lin Shu's face turned red, and she quickly got him and the two kids out.

The two little ones looked at their parents and laughed, not being polite at all.

Lu Shaotang took the two kids out to chop tree stumps.

Fang Dihua saw it and said, "What are you doing all this time? Leave it there, your second brother will chop it later."

Lu Shaotang: "It's okay, I'm free anyway." It was really

inconvenient to chop wood in a shirt, so he took it off.

After a while, he saw the sun going down and walked to the west room, knocked on the window, and said to Lin Shu: "Wife, stop working, come out and move around."

Lin Shu saw him waving his slender and strong arms, with beautiful muscle lines. His handsome face was no longer cold but smiled like a silly dog. When she saw him outside the window of the state-owned hotel, he was cold all over, but he was a typical cool and handsome guy.

Lin Shu threw down her clothes and went out, pouring herbal tea for Lu Shaotang.

This was the honeysuckle and chrysanthemum tea she made herself, which was refreshing and refreshing, and very comfortable to drink in summer.

So everyone saw Lu Shaotang taking turns to chop the tree stump with an axe, while Lin Shu and her two sons were picking flowers beside him, honeysuckle, medicinal chrysanthemum, and Tiantian and Panpan also picked amaranth and put it on Lin Shu's head.

Xu Erzhu, Zhang Biao, Qiu Jincai and the others all thought they were really pretty. They were all from the countryside, but their family looked like a painting.

It was almost time, so Lin Shu went to cook first, and Lu Shaotang went to help her.

He took a towel and went into the house, and directly lifted up his vest for her to help wipe the sweat.

Lin Shu: "..."

Does he know that this trick of male seduction works?

Lu Shaotang turned around and urged her, "Hurry up."

Lin Shu wiped him roughly, "Just take a shower after dark."

What's wrong with him today?

Seducing her all the time? He

wasn't like this before.

Did he see that her eyes would unconsciously stick to him?

It's not her fault. Who made him have a good figure? Broad shoulders, thin waist and long legs. No matter what she did, her eyes would drift over unconsciously. Such a pleasing sight would definitely take a few more glances.

Because Lu Shaotang came back, Lin Shu cooked two more dishes. She cut a piece of salted meat hanging on the beam and fried it with chili and garlic sprouts, and boiled a pot of Chinese chrysanthemum.

Taking advantage of the return of his third brother, the eldest brother Lu had a few drinks with the old man Lu and the second brother Lu.

Now he is an accountant and he always goes out to take orders. If he wants to drink, the old man Lu and Fang Dihua will not stop him, but he knows how to drink and never drinks too much. Every time he stops after feeling drunk.

Mrs. Lu gave him her cup of wine and said, "Dad, I can't drink much. You can drink it for me."

Brother Lu said, "Guying, why don't you drink more? Okay, I'll drink it for you."

He clinked his cup with Lu Shaotang's and drank it with great gusto.

Lu Shaotang gave his wine cup to Lin Shu, "Wife, I seem to have drunk too much, you drink for me."

Lin Shu: "..." You keep pretending!

Ever since he got his way that time, this man wanted her to drink three cups of wine every time he came back. It was obvious that he had bad intentions.

In the evening, after the children had found Zhiliao and Monkey, Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang first bathed the two children in the yard. After they were washed clean, Lu Shaotang picked them up one by one, and Lin Shu helped to wipe them dry. The two children giggled, and their legs kicked around like frogs, rubbing Lu Shaotang all over.

Lu Shaotang carried the two children to the kang of grandparents, and then came out to help Lin Shu pour water to clean the big earthenware basin.

He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Wife, do you want me to help you wash?"

Lin Shu teased him in a low voice, "Lu Shaotang, you are a little too wild today."

Lu Shaotang rubbed her neck, "How about... I take you to the river to wash? There is no one there, it is safe for me to accompany you."

Lin Shu: "No, swimming in the wild, even if it is not dangerous, there are leeches."

Lu Shaotang: "..."

Thinking of her being bitten by a leech, the small flame was extinguished instantly.

Lin Shu went to the bathroom by the south wall and took a quick shower.

This is the shower room she designed, which was built when the house was built.

A large iron bucket can be placed in the high groove. The iron bucket has a water outlet, and then a cloth tube made of dense cloth is used to drain water.

The cloth tube is more convenient and easier to use than plastic ones. After use, take it out and hang it on the clothesline to dry for sterilization.

The ground under the feet is paved with bricks, and the water will flow into the pigpen along the ditch to collect manure.

The shower room is specially for the women in the family. Men like to wash in the river, or wait for the women to enter the house and rinse by the ditch or the pigpen.

The main reason is that Fang Dihua dislikes that they can paddle, which affects their use.

After Lin Shu got on the kang, Lu Shaotang rubbed the underwear of the four members of the family. After all, it was still early and his wife didn't allow him to do anything.

He had sharp ears and excellent hearing, so he heard the sound coming from Brother Lu's room.

It was mainly because it was hot in the summer and everyone slept with the windows open, so the sound floated out of the window. If it was someone else, they would definitely not be able to hear it clearly.

"Guiying, my shoulders are a little sore."

"Lie down, I'll give you a massage."

"Guiying, you're so nice."

"But I'm not good-looking."

"Who said that? Don't listen to their nonsense. You're not as good-looking as me, you're much better looking than them."

"Then did you see any handsome guys in the county?"

"Guiying, did you see any handsome tractor drivers?"

"I didn't see them. No matter how handsome they are, they're not as handsome as tractors, let alone you."

"Hehe, I didn't see if they were handsome. No matter how handsome they are, they can't be as handsome as money."

...

Lu Shaotang: "..."

He changed his position with the basin, not wanting to hear the arguments of his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

But people with good hearing can't do that, they have to listen to their second brother and sister-in-law.

The second sister-in-law of Lu here clearly sounded aggrieved and annoyed, "What do you mean?"

The man's voice was low and lazy, "You've been tired all day, go to sleep."

"Are you tired of me? How many days have you not touched me? You are tired, am I not tired too? The eldest sister-in-law goes to drive the tractor, and the third brother's family stays at home all day without any wind or sun, and I am the only one who works in the fields like an old ox. I come back tired all day, and I have to listen to your third brother and his wife gossiping about me."

"Don't talk nonsense, your third brother and his wife are not such people."

"If they are not, then what about me? I tell you, I've had enough, and today I must..." He

rambled on for ten thousand words.

Lu Shaotang: "..."

He finally went into the house and got close to his wife.

He quickly hung the clothes to the corner outside the west wall of his second brother's house, where there were several clotheslines, each room had its own clothesline, and the clothes were not hung together.

After hanging the clothes and coming back, he heard Lu Ersao still complaining, so he stepped a little heavier.

Lu Ersao heard the footsteps and shut up abruptly.

When Lu Shaotang returned to the room, he saw his wife sitting on the kang in her nightgown with her two white legs exposed, mending his clothes.

The room smelled of mosquito coils, mugwort and mint.

He closed the door first, then went up to the kang and closed the windows.

Lin Shu: "It's so hot, why are you closing the doors and windows?"

Lu Shaotang: "Won't the mosquito coils be wasted if you don't close the doors and windows?"

He picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned her.

Lin Shu pushed him with her arm, "Sit further away, I'll pinch you."

Lu Shaotang stretched out his big hand and took away the needle and thread in her hand along with the clothes, threw them into the thread basket and put them on the kang cabinet, and rolled on the kang with his wife in his arms.

Lin Shu: "Mosquito net! Don't press it down."

At the back window, Song Chunfang held her breath and pretended to be a thousand-year-old turtle.

Since she married Chang Dazhi, she has developed the habit of eavesdropping on the corners of the Lu family's wall.

Although she doesn't dare to gossip now, she can't change her habit of eavesdropping.

It's hot in summer, so in order to ventilate the north and south, the windows of the bedrooms will let in a little air.

The windows of Brother Lu's house are opened as wide as possible, Fang Dihua's room is not open at all as usual, and Lin Shu's room is also opened a little.

Song Chunfang moved quietly and gently behind the room like an old turtle, listening to Big Brother Lu, then Lin Shu, and then Second Brother Lu.

She could hear Lu An talking in his sleep, Lu Cuicui scolding her mother and people she didn't like, Big Brother Lu and Big Sister Lu's unusual sexual habits, and of course, she could hear Lin Shu and Lu Shaotang fighting until midnight, and Second Sister Lu was so angry that Second Brother Lu went to sleep in the fragrant room because she was not satisfied with the torment and didn't allow him to sleep.

In the end, she nailed herself outside Lin Shu's north window.

She found that she couldn't hear Lu Shaotang's voice at all, and she couldn't hear him talking. If she hadn't known that Lu Shaotang was back, she would have suspected that Lin Shu was having an affair.

She could occasionally hear Lin Shu's voice.

"Ah~ Lu Shaotang, are you born in the year of the dog?"

"If you continue like this, you will sleep in the straw shed in the south room tomorrow!"

"I'm going to sleep now, don't touch me! Otherwise I'll be really angry."

After Lin Shu fell asleep, Song Chunfang went home with mosquito bites all over her face and arms.

How come other people's lives are so...interesting?

Her man Chang Dazhi is so boring.

It's so frustrating to hear a lot of gossip but not be able to go out and gossip.

She feels like she's going to burst.
