Chapter 254 Coaxing

The result of talking nonsense behind Lu's back was that Lin Shu had to coax him for a long time at night.

She was too embarrassed to see anyone the next morning, so she simply threw the quilt over her head and ignored Lu Shaotang.

Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming came back from practice in the morning and bought steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk and other breakfasts from the cafeteria. The children had already gotten up and went to the balcony to wash up, and then had breakfast with Chen Yanming in his room.

Wei Ling went to sleep at Sister Lin's house at night. Lin Shu told her that she could sleep until she woke up naturally and didn't need to get up early, so she hadn't come yet.

Lu Shaotang continued to eat buns on a tray at the bedside, fanning the meaty aroma toward Lin Shu, and said with a smile: "Wife, are you hungry? The buns are especially fragrant this morning, and the fried dough sticks are crispy, but they become soft when they get cold."

He understood his wife's appetite and physical condition. He knew exactly what amount of exercise would make her feel hungry early in the morning, and what amount of exercise would make her not feel hungry until eight or nine o'clock. She was

definitely hungry now.

Lin Shu had already woken up, but pretended to be asleep and ignored him.

She was as angry as she was last night.

Anyway, Lu Shaotang had been coaxed by her, and she could do whatever she wanted as long as he was not angry.

She was mainly embarrassed and felt that she was too shameless and spineless last night. In order to coax him, it was simply... a big loss.

To sum up, people who are sullen and arrogant are not easily angry or do not need to be coaxed. Once they need to be coaxed, they can show their presence in all directions.

At first, her slap didn't work. The other party looked at her with a cold face and accused her with his eyes.

That look was quite resentful.

She didn't need him to say it, she could fill in the blanks in her mind, nothing more than "I didn't do anything, you used me as a raft to coax your sisters", "Even if I was wrong, you should remind me and warn me first instead of silently tolerating it and finally saying divorce casually".

Don't mention it, even though Director Lu seemed angry last night and gave her foot washing water, he just didn't make eye contact with her. When she looked at him, he lowered his eyelashes, and when she looked away, he looked at her again.

Tsk tsk, I have to say it, everyone in the Lu family has this talent for acting.

I see!

In order to live a harmonious and happy life, Lin Shu took the initiative to apologize and make him happy, but he said, "I will not accept reconciliation before the fundamental problem is solved, especially □□."

Tsk, Lin Shu was stubborn and didn't want to be coaxed... but she still coaxed him, and took the initiative to pass on the handle to let people make demands.

Lu Shaotang asked her to write a letter of guarantee. Although she came to her senses a little bit and she just made up why she had to write a letter of guarantee, she still wrote it.

Well, after all, the cold face of the man washing his feet is not really cold, and there is an additional beauty trap, the shirt buttons are half open, and the mermaid line...

Although it is shameful to think about it, Lin Shu did write a letter of guarantee:

guaranteeing that she would speak directly if she was dissatisfied with her lover, speak directly if she had any requests, speak directly if she had any doubts, especially if she heard outsiders spread words that were not conducive to his and her relationship.

If she was not used to his behavior, she should speak directly, and the couple could discuss and adjust. She was not allowed to stand by and wait for him to cross the bottom line before asking for a divorce. She was not allowed to ask for a divorce! She

was not allowed to run away without reason, she was not allowed to play missing, she was not allowed...

Well, she felt that the last few sentences were a bit redundant. It must be that Lu Shaotang was too sensitive and suspicious.

Not only did she write the letter of guarantee, she also read it to others.

Writing in black and white was too shameful. She felt it was necessary to find it and burn it, otherwise it would be a black history for her whole life.

What if the children found it and saw it, would she still have any shame?

She swore that she would never say that she would leave him again, even if she had to break his legs.

Lu Shaotang reached into the quilt with his big hand and tried to pull her out.

Lin Shu wrapped herself tightly, and said, "I'm going on a hunger strike!"

Lu Shaotang laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, and a happy arc appeared at the corner of his eyes. He whispered, "Okay, I support you in fasting for two minutes. Do you want to eat some bun skin? It's soft and tender, and it's soaked in oil soup and smells delicious."

Lin Shu: "Then... give it back to me."

Lu Shaotang: "It has been filed and stored. No one is allowed to read it."

Lin Shu: "..."

Liar, as a trophy, wouldn't you take it out from time to time to have fun?

She originally wanted to fast until Lu Shaotang went to work, but she was too hungry, mainly because Lu Shaotang was eating buns and fried dough sticks on the side, and the taste was too delicious.

Lu Shaotang saw her coming out, "Let me add two spoons of sugar to your soy milk."

Lin Shu: "No, I want salty soy milk." Lu

Shaotang: "Salted soy milk? Soy milk can be salty?"

Lin Shu said proudly: "Why, you've never had it before? Are you shocked?"

Lu Shaotang lowered his eyes to look at her, "I know people in the Yangtze River Delta like to drink salty soy milk."

Lin Shu shut up.

I also eat salty rice dumplings!

I also eat sweet tofu pudding.

I also eat stinky tofu, zheergen, stinky mandarin fish, and stinky winter melon.

You can't eat any of them!

Lu Shaotang helped Lin Shu prepare a bowl of salty soy milk, added a small amount of soy sauce, a small amount of balsamic vinegar, and some chopped green onions, shrimp skin, etc., and finally pulled the fried dough sticks in to soak.

He first poured Lin Shu a cup of warm water so that she could rinse her mouth and moisten her throat, and she didn't need to brush her teeth. Then he put the small table on the big bed and put breakfast on it for her to eat directly.

Chen Yanming came over with a few children to say goodbye. They were going to work and school.

"Wow!" Chen Yanming raised his thumb, "Old Lu, the service is thoughtful, keep it up!"

Lu Shaotang was not ashamed at all, "You'd better learn from him."

In the winter in their hometown, the children were used to waking up with a dining table next to them. They could eat as soon as they got up and put on their cotton clothes, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Shu's behavior.

They were curious when they saw the dark soy milk, "Mom, what delicious food do you want to eat?"

Lin Shu asked them to taste it, "Your dad loves this the most."

The children ran up to taste it, Tiantian thought it was okay, Panpan and Hou Wei both stuck out their tongues.

Panpan looked at Lu Shaotang, "Dad, you should eat something delicious."

Soy milk tastes good, and fried dough sticks taste good, but isn't this a strange combination?

Lin Shu urged them to hurry up and go to work and school, so as not to delay their meals.

Chen Yanming patted Lu Shaotang on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging look, and then led the children away.

"Mom, bye!"

"Auntie, bye!"

Li Li, Huang Han, and the Zhang family boy shouted from outside, "Tiantian Panpan little monkey, it's time to go to school--"

Well, no matter where they go, the children have a group of friends who go to school together.

Seeing that Chen Yanming and the others had left, Lin Shu urged Lu Shaotang to hurry up.

I can see that you have been idle these two days. When you were busy, you were nowhere to be seen, and now you are refusing to leave.

Lu Shaotang took two sips of her salted soy milk and thought it tasted good. He reminded her, "Don't rummage around at home. You won't find it."

Lin Shu: "You're going to take it to work? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Lu Shaotang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I hide things and no one can find them."

This is professional.

Well, after eating, Lin Shu didn't wash up first, but wrote a new letter of guarantee, closed her eyes and told herself that she had found it, and then found a match to burn it, implying that there was nothing shameful about burning the letter of guarantee.

Wei Ling pushed the door open and looked at her in surprise, "Lin Shu, what are you burning? It's not... a love letter from someone, right?"

She felt that a beauty of Lin Shu's level would have many people secretly write love letters to her. She accidentally read Wei Lan's diary, which was actually a love letter, but he just didn't feel comfortable sending it out.

Thinking of this, Wei Ling planned to ask Wei Lan to come over. Your parents don't object to starting a new relationship, so you have to get rid of the things you wrote to Lin Shu when you secretly loved her.

Lin Shu waved her hands hurriedly, "Absolutely not."

You can't say anything nonsense. Who knows if there are ears on the other side of the wall? If the jealous person finds out, he will be angry about something that doesn't exist.

The jealousy of the sultry Lu Shaotang doesn't have much killing power, but it hurts your back.

On the simple kitchen's beehive coal stove outside, a kettle was sitting, and another was heating breakfast. Wei Ling went to bring it over to eat.

Lin Shu lived here, and habitually kept the stove burning all day, and closed it at night. In the morning, Lu Shaotang or Chen Yanming would light it for her. This way, it was very convenient to boil water and cook meals all day without having to light the stove.

For several days in a row, Lin Shu and Wei Ling sorted out those scattered manuscripts.

In the process of sorting, they found that children were really fun. Children were not illogical, not good at thinking, and did not understand reality as adults thought. They even found that they still retained some innocence, but it was ignored and suppressed in life.

Wei Ling was even more fascinated than Lin Shu. "I felt like I was living my childhood again. I felt like this was a fairy tale essay written by a child for an adult, allowing us to have our childhood again."

Although the living environment was different, the pure idea was the same.

The pure joy, the simple anger and love were all the same.

When the rural brigade was busy with the autumn harvest, Wei Ling and Lin Shu sorted out the first volume of pictures and texts. When the participants of the symposium had not yet returned from the rural folk song field trip, Wei Ling and Xue Hanshan went to visit the editor-in-chief of a children's publication.

Editor-in-Chief Ren is the editor-in-chief of the only well-known children's magazine in Qizhou, "Children's World". Although Children's World is not as good as "Children's Literature" in the north and "Youth Literature" in the south, it is the most famous children's magazine in the province and a companion reading for many children in the province.

Lin Shu has bought many expired children's magazines for her children, including Children's World.

However, it is not popular to submit your own works in this era. Even if you submit your works, the other party will not respond. They all have fixed writers, or the editor-in-chief and editors have designated contributors.

As for novels, basically the company will come up with a creative plan, and then find the right person to create. At this time, literary creation is also task-based.

After returning from the publishing house, Wei Ling came directly to Lin Shu.

Xue Hanshan left the publishing house and went directly to the student collection site to give a lecture. Sister Lin and Lu Hehuan went to the old revolutionary base to collect materials.

The leaders of the old base invited local old revolutionaries and well-known people in the province to explain the revolutionary spirit.

Wei Ling handed Lin Shu the employment instructions written by Editor-in-Chief Ren and said with a smile: "The first book has been approved. Editor-in-Chief Ren asked us to continue preparing the second book. I have other work to do. You and Sister will have to work hard on the second book."

Wei Ling has a lot of interview work to do. She has to interview soldiers stationed on the islands and coasts of the province, and there is also a collection series of retired veterans, as well as the most beautiful military wives series and the close connection series between workers, farmers and soldiers.

Some of these tasks can be helped by colleagues, but she likes to do most of them herself.

She is very attentive in every interview and knows the information of the interviewees very well. Some of them become good friends like Lin Shu, and some become the objects of her financial assistance.

Some veterans live in hardship, especially disabled veterans who have no ability to work. After returning home, they have to rely on the unit or the brigade for assistance. Because of various reasons, they have a hard time living.

She will organize some donation activities.

When Lin Shu heard that she was going to the island, she reminded her: "Although the autumn wind is cold, the ultraviolet rays on the island are strong. Remember to wear a sun hat. There are many seafood and meat on the island, but few vegetables. I will make some meat sauce for you to bring."

Wei Ling nodded vigorously, "I also need chili sauce. By the way, I also want a big jar of the hot pot base you fried yourself."

There are no good food-grade plastic bags now, so the things brought are basically cans or jars.

Lin Shu took Wei Ling to the nearby state-owned food store to buy some dried goods such as meat, black fungus and shiitake mushrooms with the tickets in her hand. Then she went to several places where farmers came to sell vegetables and bought some dried vegetables that the farmers had dried themselves. Then she went home to pick up some of the pickled vegetables, pickled vegetables and salted eggs she made at home.

Last year's pickled vegetables were eaten up long ago, and this year's are still being dried.

Fortunately, Brother Lu came to deliver goods a few days ago and sent some soybeans and peanuts. They were dried and could be used to make fried beans and fried peanuts, which could be directly put in chili oil.

Lin Shu fried a bottle of chili oil for Wei Ling. There was no meat in it, only fried peanuts and fried soybeans. The peanuts were crushed and mixed in the chili.

It is soaked in a thick layer of oil, so it is not easy to spoil. Now that the weather is cool, it can be eaten for a long time.

She also fried the meat sauce. In order to eat it for a longer time, she naturally added chili peppers. Cooked oil is also a good way to preserve it. The fried chili meat sauce can also be eaten for a while.

With a big bottle of meat sauce, no one can resist it. Basically, you will eat it every day or even every meal, so you will eat it almost before it goes bad.

Of course, fresh chopped peppers are also indispensable, especially when you go to places like islands where supplies are not abundant. At least you can mix the pepper sauce with the seafood.

After sending Wei Ling away, Lin Shu was busy organizing the manuscripts every day.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. At noon that day, Sister Lin and Lu Hehuan came back from a field trip.

My goodness, they both got two degrees darker.

Lin Shu: "Sister, aren't you wearing hats?"

The ultraviolet rays in autumn are so strong, how can you take off your hats?

Sister Lin: "No, we are going to the old revolutionary base to collect folk songs. No one wears hats, so how can we wear them?"

Wearing hats to collect folk songs in the old revolutionary base makes the leaders and the local old revolutionary masses look at how coquettish and unrevolutionary they are. Since

others don't wear hats, they are naturally embarrassed to wear them. They put the hats in their bags and dare not take them out.

Lin Shu: "..."

Even if he is an old revolutionary, he wears a raincoat and a hat when it rains, and he looks for a shady place when the sun is strong. He eats when he is hungry and drinks water when he is thirsty.

However, you can't talk about reason these days. Sometimes the form is determination and red heart, which must be expressed.

Although Lu Hehuan has dark circles, she is very excited. She feels that she has received a profound spiritual baptism. The inspiration of Wen Siquan is overflowing, and the desire to create is surging and can't be suppressed.

During the field trip, she wrote seven or eight poems of good quality, two of which were so good that Xue Hanshan praised her for her profound writing and directly recommended them for publication.

In addition, her previous novel was also inspired and injected with new inspiration. From the perspective of conception, it was directly transformed from a somewhat hypochondriac rural love novel into an awakening and revolutionary work.

Not only did Xue Hanshan praise her, but the leaders also gave her affirmation.

The leaders of the Qizhou Writers Association had been entrusted by Wei Ling to recruit Lu Hehuan to join the association. Now, after seeing her works and her creative ideas, they decided to second her to the Writers Association to create.

Lu Hehuan was in high spirits, feeling like she was walking on clouds. She smiled at Lin Shu and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to be a real writer."

Lin Shu: "Congratulations."

Lu Hehuan began to take things out, gifts for Xu Xiaoyou, Tiantian, Panpan, Hou Wei and other children, as well as gifts for Lin Shu's grandmother Fang Dihua and other family members, such as yam slices and poria cocos, which are specialties of the old revolutionary base areas. She bought a big bag.

"This stuff is good. It is said to nourish the stomach and calm the nerves. Sister-in-law, you can take it home and eat it. After you finish eating, I will buy more from my friends there." During

this field trip, they stayed in the homes of local cadres and members, and made friends with the locals.

Lu Hehuan was more outgoing and enthusiastic than Sister Lin, lively and cheerful, so it was easier for her to make friends. Men and women soon became familiar with each other and talked about everything.

Sister Lin is slow to warm up, gentle and meticulous. She gets along well with everyone, but she doesn't have many close friends. You have to get along well with them.

Of course, there are also some folk songs on this trip, including the Art Association, the Writers Association and even the Dance Association. There are not many people, but everyone has similar personalities and gets along very well.

Sister Lin also bought some practical items, some of which are to support the production of the old revolutionary base areas, and some are just because she likes them and thinks they are useful at home.

Lin Shu discussed with them that the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone will go home to celebrate the festival together.

Originally, Chen Yanming had nowhere to go and would go home with them to celebrate the festival, but now he has a future daughter-in-law, so it is more appropriate to celebrate the festival with his future daughter-in-law and future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Lu Hehuan said, "Sister-in-law, I have to report to the Writers Association. I won't go back. Please tell my family for me. I will go home after I am done with my work."

Lin Shu: "Lu Hehuan, aren't you busy now? Going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival won't hinder your career as a writer. Besides, even the leaders of the Writers Association have to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and other writers have to go home for the festival."

Lu Hehuan pouted a little. She felt that her sister-in-law's temperament was a bit changeable. Sometimes she was very supportive of her creation, and sometimes she held her back.

However, after being together for so long, she and other people in Lujiazhuang formed an invisible respect and obedience to Lin Shu. Even if she was a little unhappy, she couldn't refuse with a clear mind.

She just didn't dare or was embarrassed to oppose her directly.

Her sister-in-law asked her to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she had to go back. After all, her sister-in-law rarely asked her to do anything.

Although she wanted to report to the Writers Association immediately and create with like-minded writers, she finally held back. She felt

a little wronged.

At noon, the children came back from school. They were very happy to see Sister Lin and Lu Hehuan come back. They called their aunts and mothers to rush over.

Panpan glanced at Lu Hehuan, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? You can hang a bottle of oil on your mouth."

Lu Hehuan: "Nothing."

Then she stopped talking.

The children knew that their aunt was angry, or embarrassed. Children often play this trick. They don't say they are angry, but let others guess. This is their specialty.

Soon Lu Shaotang, Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran came back together.

Zhan Qiuran also went to the hospital for assistance and exchange a few days ago. He mainly went to help the hospital perform some difficult surgeries and give lectures to the doctors. He

just came back yesterday and can rest from this afternoon to tomorrow.

On the contrary, she has to go to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Who made her young and promising and the successor to the director? Naturally, those who are capable should do more work and work more on holidays.

After not seeing each other for a while, everyone was very happy to see each other, especially Sister Lin and Zhan Qiuran. The children also surrounded Zhan Qiuran and made him very happy. They also jumped like a child.

Zhan Qiuran: "I brought their local specialty small fried dough twists, which are fried, crispy and fragrant."

Tiantian immediately presented them to Lin Shu, "Mom, you should study it quickly and make it in our family in the future."

Panpan thought it would be better to make more for them to sell.

During lunch, Lin Shu discussed with Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran: "Qiuran, you have a day off tomorrow, why don't you go to the countryside with us? Let Chen Yanming take you back tomorrow afternoon, and then you can celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together."

Zhan Qiuran's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, I want to go!"

Lu Shaotang said to Chen Yanming: "Doctor Zhan has to work during the day on Mid-Autumn Festival, so you can be on duty."

This way he can stay at home for one more day.

Chen Yanming: "Thank you, Director, for making clear arrangements for me. I obey your orders."

Everyone laughed.

After finishing her meal, Zhan Qiuran immediately called her mother and said that she wanted to go to Lujiazhuang to play and come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhan's mother naturally agreed, but asked her to bring more gifts and not to go empty-handed.

Lin Shu and Sister Lin began to pack up.

Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran went to the grocery store to buy meat and snacks, especially moon cakes, which were supplied with coupons. He and Lu Shaotang could buy four each.

The children went to school to ask for leave. They had to go home in the afternoon, so they didn't go to school for the next two days.

They have always been casual about studying. They can go anywhere to play or do anything, and they can ask for leave whenever they want.

Knowing that Lin Shu and her friends were going home for the holidays, Grandma Guan brought Guan Ze to deliver gifts in the afternoon, including three pounds of beef and some grain coupons.

In addition, there were two barrels of specially supplied milk powder!

This is really precious!

Lin Shu couldn't refuse and still insisted on giving money.

This thing is hard to buy even if you ask someone to buy it. Grandma Guan gave two barrels at once, which is more than ten yuan.

Take it back and share some with Mianmian and Kuai Kuai, and Jing Caixian is also pregnant, so give her some to supplement nutrition.

Yang Shumin, Zhang Ya, Zheng Jie, Chen Huilan and other people who have a good relationship with Lin Shu also gave holiday gifts to Lin Shu in the evening.

They mainly gave white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar. Sugar was a rare thing these days, and they knew that Lin Shu could make snacks, so sugar was naturally indispensable.

Lu Shaotang and Chen Yanming also received gifts from their work unit during the Mid-Autumn Festival, mainly food, oil, meat and other coupons. Because they had to return home after the festival and their families were not short of oil and meat, and the village could kill pigs sporadically for sale, Lu Shaotang did not take any home this time, and asked Xiaozhuang to keep his share and wait for him to come back.

The meat was naturally taken from the meat processing plant, and it would be the same when he came back.

Zhan Qiuran immediately said that Chen Yanming's share should also be kept here, and not to take it from her home, as her parents had enough.

When they were about to leave in the afternoon, Guan Ze, Li Li and Huang Han looked at the two jeeps eagerly.

Panpan Tiantian and Hou Wei were so happy, they could still travel back and forth between the city and the countryside.

They were so envious, they also wanted to visit everywhere!

Before the jeep even drove out of the family compound, a person on a bicycle came running up, "Sister, brother-in-law - I want to go play with you too!"

The person turned out to be Zhan Jiali. She rode too fast and almost hit a tree. Fortunately, Xiaozhuang supported her to avoid falling.

Zhan Jiali jumped off the bicycle, said thank you to Xiaozhuang, and ran to the jeep.

The first car was Lu Shaotang's car, with Lin Shu sitting as the co-pilot, and Lu Hehuan and their three children sitting in the back. The second car was driven by Chen Yanming, with Zhan Qiuran sitting as the co-pilot, and Sister Lin sitting in the back.

Zhan Jiali chuckled, "Brother-in-law, sister, I want to go too!"

She reached out to pull the back door, but it didn't move.

Zhan Qiuran rolled down the car window, "Did your parents let you go?"

Zhan Jiali: "An elder sister is like a mother, as long as you agree, you can't be sold to me anyway, why would my parents disagree?"

She knocked on the car window and asked her brother-in-law to open the door quickly.

Chen Yanming opened the back door, and Zhan Jiali slipped in, very happy, "I can finally travel to a different place."

Zhan Qiuran immediately said to Sister Lin, "She is not abused in our family."

The children in front saw their sister coming and immediately got out of the car to change places with Sister Lin.

In the end, Zhan Jiali was squeezed together with the three little ones. She made a lot of noise along the way. Well, it should be because she led the children to sing in chorus all the way, which made Chen Yanming and Zhan Qiuran want to throw her out.
