Lu Xiaolan rode a bicycle with Lu Xiaochun back to her hometown at such a speed that she almost rode the bicycle as fast as a tram.
"Sister, you ride too fast." Lu Xiaochun's face turned pale from being shaken in the back seat, which was really ugly.
Lu Xiaolan didn't say a word, she just held her breath and rode forward, for she was afraid that if she spoke she would lose her breath and would not have the strength to ride.
It took Lu Xiaolan half the usual time to ride to the brigade headquarters, and her legs were shaking when she got off the bike.
Lu Xiaochun supported Lu Xiaolan with a pale face.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Something is wrong? How can it be nothing? Her inner thigh hurts, but now is not the time to say this. Lu Xiaolan pulled Lu Xiaochun into the house.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Xiaolan came out with the certificate of Lu Xiaochun's household registration transfer.
"Sister, you just gave the secretary..."
Lu Xiaochun said half of his words and swallowed the rest when he saw Lu Xiaolan's disapproving look.
The two men took the certification documents and went straight back to the city instead of returning to the Lu family.
On the way back, Lu Xiaochun rode a bicycle and she rode it directly to the entrance of the state-owned hotel.
"Sister, it's so late now, let's eat something here."
Lu Xiaolan's legs are still sore, and she doesn't want to go back to eat, otherwise she would have to explain why she came back without eating.
Lu Xiaochun directly ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles. Lu Xiaolan wanted to eat vegetarian noodles but was stopped.
"Sister, we ran so far today, we won't be full just by eating vegetarian noodles." Lu Xiaochun insisted on ordering shredded pork noodles and pulled Lu Xiaolan to the table.
"Xiaochun, even though you said you'll have a job soon, you can't waste money." Lu Xiaolan was worried that Lu Xiaochun would spend money lavishly after getting a formal job.
"Sister, I know that the money I used to buy my job was borrowed from you. From now on, when I get my salary every month, I will pay you back except for the five dollars I set aside for food. I think I should be able to pay it back in three or four years."
The main reason why Lu Xiaochun chose to eat shredded pork noodles today was to thank Lu Xiaolan. If it weren't for Lu Xiaolan, she would have been married to her stepmother's son by her biological father long ago. She wouldn't have the good life she has now, with a formal job and her household registration moved to the city.
"You don't have to be so frugal. You'll get married in the future, so you can pay back the money slowly." Lu Xiaolan didn't want to put too much pressure on Lu Xiaochun. She had already discussed with Shu Heping that Lu Xiaochun would be allowed to pay back the money within five years.
Although Shu Heping earned a lot, one third of the one thousand yuan came from Lu Xiaolan.
Lu Xiaochun is grateful for everything her sister has done for her, but she will definitely try her best to pay off the debt so that her sister and brother-in-law won’t have a quarrel over the money. But there’s no need to say this, she just needs to know it.
The two sisters went home after dinner. When Shu's mother saw them coming back, she sent Lu Xiaolan out to buy things.
"Heping is having a dinner party at home tonight, go buy some food."
Lu Xiaolan was a little surprised. Shu Heping seldom invited people to his home for dinner because there were too many people at home and it was not convenient to do so.
Mother Shu understood what Lu Xiaolan meant and explained, "Heping will host the dinner in your room. We will not go to the table."
In other words, Shu Heping was using his own family's money to treat the guests today, and no public funds were spent.
Lu Xiaolan asked Lu Xiaochun to go into the house to help her look after the children while she went to buy groceries.
Although the Shu family did not split up, each family kept some money and sometimes bought some food to eat at home, but they rarely invited people to their home for dinner.
Lu Xiaolan has been married for two years and has only done it twice, and today is the second time.
In the evening, the Shu family was having dinner in the big house. Shu Heping and Shu Xincheng walked into the house one after another, followed by a young man.
Lu Xiaochun helped Lu Xiaolan prepare the meal and then went to Lu Xiaolan's room to help take care of the children.
In today's occasion, even Lu Xiaolan just showed up and would not eat at the table, let alone her.
"Aunt, this is Xin Zhengzhi. He's following my uncle now. He's very skilled. Yesterday, someone stole something, and he just kicked him in the face, and we were able to catch him."
As soon as Shu Xincheng entered the room, he started to shout, "It's because of him that I can eat delicious food today."
Shu Heping was also very satisfied with the dishes on the table, including fish, tofu, and a large bowl of bone soup.
He temporarily sent someone to send a message home, saying that it was not easy for Lu Xiaolan to cook so many meat dishes.
"Have you served some dishes? You and Xiaochun can take the children to eat." Shu Heping whispered to Lu Xiaolan while putting away his clothes.
"We have all eaten, don't worry." Lu Xiaolan didn't stay in the room for long. She said hello to Xin Zhengzhi and Shu Heping and went back to coax the children.
Lu Xiaolan's youngest son accidentally pooped in his pants, which made Lu Xiaolan so angry that she wanted to beat him up. But there were guests at home today, so she suppressed her anger and changed her son's clothes, then quickly went to wash his cotton pants.
After Shu Heping and his friends had eaten for a while, he felt a little thirsty. He looked around the house but couldn't find the thermos, so he shouted Lu Xiaolan's name.
Lu Xiaolan was washing clothes outside and didn't hear it, so Lu Xiaochun walked in and said, "Brother-in-law, my sister is washing clothes."
Shu Heping nodded and asked her if she had seen the thermos.
Just now, Lu Xiaolan took the thermos outside to wash her cotton pants, but Lu Xiaochun didn't say anything about this, he just said he was going to get some hot water.
After Lu Xiaochun left, Xin Zhengzhi leaned towards Shu Heping and said, "Brother Heping, is this our sister-in-law?"
Shu Xincheng stopped talking first. He knocked on the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Xin Zhengzhi, how can you call me uncle? You are the same age as me, so you should call me uncle."
Xin Zhengzhi ignored Shu Xincheng, but instead looked at Xin Zhengzhi and waited for his reply.
Shu Heping nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that Xin Zhengzhi ignored her, Shu Xincheng deliberately said, "Zhengzhi, you are not attracted to Lu Xiaochun, are you? Let me tell you, she has a rural hukou."
When Lu Xiaochun first came, Shu Xincheng also fell in love with her, but her mother disliked Lu Xiaochun because she had a rural household registration, and this alone was not enough.
Shu's mother thought it was not a good idea for the two sisters to marry their uncle and nephew, and she also warned Shu Xincheng.
Shu Xincheng felt that the light in Xin Zhengzhi's eyes now was exactly the same as it was back then.
Xin Zhengzhi didn't think so much about it. He recognized Lu Xiaochun as the girl who "jumped into the river" and subconsciously wanted to show some concern.
"Zhengzhi, Xiaochun is not suitable for you." Shu Heping knew that Xin Zhengzhi came from a well-off family, and he also felt that the two were not a match.
Xin Zhengzhi didn't explain, he just laughed it off and walked away.
After the three of them finished their meal, Xin Zhengzhi did not leave immediately. He stayed and talked to Shu Heping about things in the institute. Shu Heping went back to his room first.
As they were talking, Xin Zhengzhi drank too much water and went outside to get some water. When he came back, he happened to see Lu Xiaochun in the yard.
Lu Xiaochun was happy today and couldn't sleep, so he sat in the corner of the yard.
Xin Zhengzhi walked over and thought Lu Xiaochun was crying. He hurriedly took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to her: "Are you in a bad mood? Eat a piece of candy and you will feel better."
