Lu Chen: “…”
This delivery was made in error.
He had no choice but to explain: "I have never given anything to anyone else, only to you. Others are not worthy."
After saying that, he looked at Cheng Mingyue and added, "You probably know by now that I have some connections in the black market. These things are bought from the capital and sold to the wealthy and powerful women in the West Mansion."
Cheng Mingyue finally felt relieved, and the joy in her heart became even stronger than before.
Cheng Mingyue put all the things into the space and said, "I'll go put all the seeds away first. You should also go to bed early. Wait for Uncle Qi to treat your leg tomorrow."
Cheng Mingyue entered the space to check the things she had just thrown in, and she almost went crazy with joy when she saw them.
There are all kinds of common and uncommon vegetable seeds in the south, and even the fruit trees are particularly complete. What surprised her most is that there are lotus root seeds. She likes to eat lotus root very much, especially lotus root and pork ribs soup, which is her favorite.
Cheng Mingyue carefully planted all the seeds in the space, took some spiritual spring water to take a shower, and then lay on the bed to read.
The bed that Cheng Mingyue is lying on now is the one that she asked Carpenter Li to make before. Not only is the wood strong, but Carpenter Li also carved a flower on the headboard, a cluster of plum blossoms, which looks like the real thing. Cheng Mingyue likes it very much.
Thinking that if there was a chance in the future, she would draw the blueprints and ask Carpenter Li to make a cabinet and a desk for her.
Ever since Cheng Mingyue entered the space, Lu Chen had been tossing and turning on the kang, unable to fall asleep. He actually wanted to ask Cheng Mingyue not to sleep in the space anymore, but he was too shy to say the words.
His sleep quality used to be very poor, and sometimes he would stay awake until late at night and still couldn't fall asleep. But last night, he felt particularly at ease while holding Cheng Mingyue, and slept very soundly. He was full of energy all day today.
Lu Chen tentatively called out softly: "Mingyue, can you hear me?"
Cheng Mingyue was a little confused as to why Lu Chen called her. She closed the book and left the space, then asked, "Lu Chen, what's wrong?"
"Can you hear me?" Lu Chen was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look directly into Cheng Mingyue's eyes.
"Yes, what's the matter?" Cheng Mingyue looked at Lu Chen's red face in confusion.
Lu Chen turned his head away and said in a muffled voice: "Mingyue, didn't we already... already do that this morning? Why are you still sleeping in the space?"
Cheng Mingyue suddenly realized that Lu Chen wanted to sleep with her. She was in a special period now and couldn't do anything with him, so there was no point in sleeping together.
This is what Cheng Mingyue thought and said.
Lu Chen's face turned even redder when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Cheng Mingyue and stammered, "I... I don't mean anything else... I... I just want to hold you and sleep."
Cheng Mingyue did not agree. "Let's talk about it later. We have just established a relationship. At most, we are just in the stage of dating. We can't do it all at once. That would be too fast!"
After saying this, he didn't give Lu Chen any chance to explain and went straight back into the space.
Now it was Lu Chen's turn to be depressed.
They both clearly have obtained a marriage certificate, so why are they still just in the dating stage now?
Lu Chen was good at self-consolation and soon became happy again. After all, they were married now and could take their time to fall in love. He could afford to wait.
The next day, the village loudspeaker sounded again, and everyone knew that it was time to go to work again.
After quickly eating a few bites of breakfast, everyone ran to the threshing ground, and Cheng Mingyue and Lu Chen were no exception.
When the village chief saw Cheng Mingyue coming to work, he frowned and said, "Yue'er, if you're not feeling well, don't come. I'll have someone else record your work points for the day."
Cheng Mingyue smiled and shook her head: "Dad, I can still stick with just sitting there and counting work points."
After saying that, he walked towards the village office.
When she got off work at noon, Cheng Mingyue went to Carpenter Li's house again. She wanted to buy a bathtub.
When Li Da Laba saw Cheng Mingyue, he was as excited as if he had seen the God of Wealth. He poured her a cup of tea enthusiastically. When he heard that Cheng Mingyue wanted to buy a bathtub again, his big teeth became more prominent with joy.
"Mingyue, no wonder I said you were a lucky star. Your uncle Li just made a bathtub for you. If you want one, take it home and use it."
Cheng Mingyue was a little hesitant. What would it mean if she took back something that was custom-made by someone else? "Will it fit? Or you can just ask Uncle Li to make a new one for me. It will be fine as long as it's done in the next few days."
However, Li Da Laba kept saying that it was okay, as the person would pick up the goods in a few days and there was plenty of time to make another one.
Cheng Mingyue no longer refused. After paying the money, she asked Carpenter Li to send it to her home after work in the afternoon.
Li Da Laba agreed repeatedly.
After seeing Cheng Mingyue off, Li Da Laba took out the money Cheng Mingyue had just given her from her pocket and counted it again, patting her chest with joy.
It turned out that the bathtub was custom-made by someone else, but the person hadn't come to pick it up even after half a month, and it looked like the product was going to be stuck in their hands.
Li Da Laba has been scolding Carpenter Li these days, asking him why he doesn't collect deposits when doing work for others. Now, he has wasted time and effort but didn't make a penny.
Few people in the village use bathtubs. Most of the time they just use a basin to fill with water and rinse. That's why she was so anxious and angry. Fortunately, Cheng Mingyue came today and solved a big problem for her.
Li Da Laba glared at Carpenter Li with his eyes slanted: "Listen, remember to send it to Mingyue's home tonight."
Carpenter Li responded with his head hung, then went back to tinkering in the pile of wood.
Li Da Laba made a "Pooh" sound and went into the house.
Carpenter Li outside the door was now regretting his decision. If he had known this would happen, he would never have flirted with Widow Wang.
Now everyone in the village points fingers at him, and when he returns home his wife treats him like an ox. If he wants to have a hot meal, he has to look at his wife's mood.
He saw that his wife went back to the house and lay down directly, with no intention of cooking at all. He sighed, put down the wood in his hand, and went into the kitchen with his head down to cook.
This is because Cheng Mingyue is not here. If she were here, she would definitely say "Serves you right."
Although it seemed that only Widow Wang was dealt with at that time and she was sent back to her parents' home, from another perspective, wasn't it also a punishment for Carpenter Li?
As long as he is in the Baihe Brigade, the shit pot on his head will never be removed. What's more, Li Da Laba is not a good person. He will never swallow his anger and pretend that nothing happened. He will not continue to care about Li Carpenter as before.
When Cheng Mingyue returned home, Lu Chen had already prepared the meal. Although the taste was really bad, she still appreciated his kindness and praised him a few words.
