Chapter 42 Traveling the County Just for a Book
When Lu Shiyuan returned to the room, Lin Yangyang was already admiring Ningning's paintings.
Looking at the simple landscape painting she had drawn with watercolor pens, Lu Shiyuan couldn't help but take a few steps closer.
"You finally bought Ningning some watercolor pens."
Having said that, Lu Shiyuan returned to bed.
Lin Yangyang turned her head and took a look. She smelled a fresh scent from him, looked at him with a smile and asked, "Did you brush your teeth?"
"…We should be hygienic, didn't you say that?" He cleared his throat, turned around and lay down with his back to her.
Lin Yangyang suddenly felt secretly delighted.
This man is actually quite good.
However, why was he reluctant to brush his teeth and wash his feet when the original owner asked him to do so, but now he takes the initiative to do so?
Seeing that he had laid down and was motionless, Lin Yangyang didn't want to disturb him from resting, so she also lay down and turned off the desk light.
Lin Yangyang was a little nervous, afraid that he would suddenly pounce on her in the darkness.
In the end, even Lu Shiyuan's movement frightened her so much that she quickly covered herself with the sheet.
In the dim room, the atmosphere inexplicably became somewhat ambiguous.
However, Lu Shiyuan felt her action and couldn't help but frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"I, I don't mean anything..."
"Although I don't know how to read, I know what it means to keep one's word! Don't be so nervous. Last night... I was just too angry."
Oh? Are you torturing her like crazy because you are angry?
What kind of logic is this!
Lin Yangyang decided to ignore him and turned her back to him and continued to sleep.
After a moment, Lu Shiyuan's voice came from behind her.
"You taught Ning Ning the sign language... can you teach me too?"
Hearing this, Lin Yangyang turned around in surprise...
He was right behind her, and when she turned around, she happened to meet his eyes closely.
The atmosphere became more ambiguous.
"You..." Fortunately, my vision was dim, otherwise I would have seen the blush on her face, "Why do you want to learn?"
Just because Lu Shiyuan is a rough guy doesn't mean he is immune to ambiguity.
Looking at the face up close, Lu Shiyuan couldn't help swallowing, and his hands in the quilt had already been clenched into fists.
"You and Jiayan also know sign language and can chat with Ningning. Am I the only one who doesn't understand it?"
Rolling her eyes, Lin Yangyang nodded in agreement, "Sorry, I neglected this. Well, I'll teach you tomorrow as well."
Looking at her faint smile, Lu Shiyuan's heart suddenly seemed to skip a beat. He looked at her intently, responded after a moment, and then turned his back to her again.
"It's late, go to bed."
Lin Yangyang blinked in confusion. Why did she feel that this man's emotions were a little erratic?
The next day, Lin Yangyang got up at nine o'clock, and the two children had already been sent to the nursery.
And today, the pot is finally filled with hot millet porridge, sweet potatoes and corn.
Although it is light, it is also a nutritious breakfast.
The important thing is that he finally stopped being angry and finally saved breakfast for himself.
Lin Yangyang happily finished all her breakfast, changed into a fresh skirt and went out.
Seeing her going out dressed beautifully again, several military wives outside couldn't help but gossip.
Some people even whispered something into her ear on purpose, but Lin Yangyang ignored them all, and it didn't affect her good mood at all.
Today, she is going to the library to find a book!
She was really embarrassed to say certain things last night, but she thought of a good idea, which was to find a comic book and give it to Lu Shiyuan to read thoroughly. By then, he should understand what it means to be gentle and considerate to women.
However, the customs of the people in that era were very simple, and the Jin Meimei comic book she was looking for... was relatively difficult to find!
She went to all the libraries in the county, and when she mentioned the title of the book, everyone blushed with embarrassment.
Finally, she found the last bookstore in the county town.
"What? Jin Meimei? This...this girl, why are you looking for such a book? Such a shameful book cannot be sold openly!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Yangyang's eyes lit up.
"So, brother, you can sell it secretly, right?"
The brother opposite blushed.
This girl is really pretty. But think about it, which decent girl would go around looking for such a romantic book? Or a comic book?!
The man immediately imagined Lin Yangyang to be that kind of frivolous woman.
"Girl, you are so pretty, why do you need that kind of book?"
Hearing the man's malicious tone, Lin Yangyang frowned.
He wasn't the first person to look at her like that today.
It was all her fault. She had looked everywhere for such a book, causing many people to think that she was the kind of woman who was not willing to show herself in public.
"I heard that the book can help to improve the relationship between husband and wife. I want to take my relationship with my husband to the next level, so I want to find this book."
Fortunately, she had already thought of what to say. As soon as she said it, the man paused and his face looked even more embarrassed.
Clearing his throat, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, we don't have this book."
"If the store doesn't have it, do you have it privately?" Lin Yangyang asked with a smile, and then whispered, "I can pay for it. If you can't bear to part with it, I can also pay to rent it for a week."
Who doesn’t want money?
"I'm sorry, little sister-in-law, I do have a copy of Jin Meimei, but it's a book, not a comic book."
Jin Ping Mei...
“What a pity.”
It's really a pity, because Lu Shiyuan can't read. If you take a book back, even if he reads it to pieces, you won't know what the book actually says.
Just as Lin Yangyang was about to turn around and leave in disappointment, the man's voice rang out again.
"Sister-in-law, do you really want to find a comic book?"
As if seeing hope, Lin Yangyang quickly turned around, smiled at the man and nodded, "If you have one, I can rent it for a week at a high price! If your friend has one, I can also give you a thank you note!"
After saying that, Lin Yangyang quickly took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to him.
The man's eyes lit up.
You can really make fifty cents just by reselling it!
"To be honest, I happen to have a friend who has Jin Meimei's comic book. Hmm... How about this, come back tomorrow and I'll borrow it for you."
This means that the man borrows the comic book from his friend in his own name and then lends it back to him.
So he would charge whatever Lin Yangyang paid.
Lin Yangyang didn't care what the other party was planning. The most important thing now was to borrow the comic book.
She walked all over the county today and was almost dying of exhaustion and heat. She finally found a book... She's willing to read anything you say!
Lin Yangyang agreed to the man and went home satisfied.
