Chapter 27
Jiang Yao was woken up by a kiss the next day.
It was still dark and the rooster outside had just crowed. She pushed Lu Che, who was pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe, and said in a resentful tone, "Are you going to let me sleep or not?"
"Let me, my wife, continue to sleep. I need to get up to work. I just want to kiss her before I get up." Lu Che kissed her twice more greedily.
When Jiang Yao heard that he was going to get up and work, she stopped complaining and said distressedly, "You've been tired for a few days. Why don't you not go to work today? It's okay to be lazy for a day."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. Now I have a wife to support, and I feel full of strength." Lu Che said.
Jiang Yao: "You don't need to wake up so early if you are full of energy. It won't be too late to sleep for another half an hour."
As she said this, she hugged him.
Lu Che was so proud that his wife was so dependent on him. He wanted to stay in the room with her for days and nights, but life didn't allow it, so he had to try his best to give her the best life.
He kissed her forehead and said, "I have an appointment with someone to repair a tractor. I have to finish it before work starts. Yaoyao, be good. I will go and earn money and eggs for you."
"Okay." Jiang Yao let him go and said, "Remember to come back for lunch at noon. I'll make you something delicious."
"Well, I'll be back as soon as the work is over." Lu Che said, "You were exhausted last night, so don't go get materials for handicrafts today. Rest well at home. Also, are you feeling...unwell?"
"No...you should go to work quickly." Jiang Yao felt embarrassed when talking about last night and pushed him up.
"That's good. It was my first time last night. Please bear with me if it's not perfect. I'll practice a few more times and it will definitely get better."
Lu Che spoke in a very serious manner, and those who didn't know would think they were discussing some kind of sports... But it seemed that what happened last night could also be called a "sports".
This man seemed nervous and apprehensive before the exam started last night, and he looked even more innocent than her. But who would have known that after officially entering the "examination room", she, who was good at talking, was led by him the whole time.
Moreover, she learned a lesson from this incident, that is, never challenge a man's initiative and ability in certain aspects, otherwise she will be the one who suffers.
If someone hadn't let her go after two attempts because it was her first time yesterday, she would have had trouble getting out of bed today.
After Lu Che got up, Jiang Yao fell asleep quickly. She seemed to hear him tell her to wake up later and have breakfast before going back to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, the sky outside was already bright.
Although she was tired, she was no longer sleepy. She looked at her watch and it was just after eight o'clock.
She got up from the bed and got out of bed, her body felt a little sore but not too tired.
She changed her clothes first, and when she walked out of the room, the old lady was sitting in the main room teaching Zhou Yang and Zhou Xin how to write, while Lu Qing was sitting beside her doing handicrafts.
Everyone saw her getting up and greeted her. When she thought about why she got up late, her face turned red, and she said "Good morning, everyone", and walked straight out of the main room to the kitchen to find breakfast.
When I passed the yard, I saw last night's sheets fluttering in the sun.
Her face turned even redder, and she cursed Lu Che in her heart for not hanging the sheets in the backyard. Everyone knew what happened last night, but there was no need to tell others about it.
Forget it, let’s fill our stomach first.
There was a bowl of porridge, an egg and a small dish of pickled vegetables warming in the pot in the kitchen. Jiang Yao brought them to the main room to eat.
"Sister Qing, does the paper mill have a lot of raw materials today?" Jiang Yao asked while eating.
"There are a lot. I went very late today, but there are still a lot." Lu Qing said.
Jiang Yao: "Then I'll go get some later."
"no."
"don't want."
Two voices came out at the same time, coming from Lu Qing and Old Lady Lu.
"Just take a good rest today. It's okay to work one day less." Lu Qing said tactfully, but the old lady was much more direct and said, "Yaoyao, you don't have to be so hardworking. Lu Che is full of vigor and vitality, and he just got married in his twenties. We are all experienced people and understand. Be good and stay at home today."
“……”Grandma, you know too much.
Jiang Yao's face suddenly felt hot. She finished the porridge in no time, cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
Only after the dishes were washed did the temperature on Jiang Yao's face drop.
She was indeed not feeling too unwell, but if she went back to the main room she was afraid that the old lady would make some shocking remarks. After much deliberation she decided to go to the paper mill to get the raw materials.
At this point, everyone is busy doing their handicrafts, and there are very few people coming to get the raw materials.
Jiang Yao thought she was the only one who was so late, she didn't expect Du Yuejia to be so late as well.
The two of them led the raw materials out of the paper mill one after the other. Jiang Yao did not intend to communicate with Du Yuejia, but she smiled and said, "Jiang Yao, I heard that you and Lu Che got married. Congratulations."
Her smile was genuine when she spoke, and there was no sarcasm in her tone; Jiang Yao could tell that she was sincere.
"Thank you!" said Jiang Yao.
The two of them would spend quite a while together on their way back. Jiang Yao didn't intend to speak, but Du Yuejia continued to break the silence.
"Everyone says it's a pity that you married Lu Che, but I think you two are pretty good." Du Yuejia suddenly spoke up, and said with some emotion: "Actually, I envy you."
"Envy me?" Jiang Yao asked puzzledly, "Don't you have a partner too? There's really no need to envy me."
Du Yuejia: "I have a partner, but we are not married."
“…”
Du Yuejia was the same age as her, also 19 years old, which was not considered old in this era, but definitely not young either. In fact, it was okay to be in a relationship, but she and Zhao Pengfei had been together for at least half a year, and according to the timeline, they should have reached the stage of marriage.
She is a person of this generation, and Jiang Yao cannot advise her with the perspective of the future. What's more, she got married after dating for only two months, so she has no right to do so.
"Don't worry, you will be married soon." This is the only way Jiang Yao could comfort them.
Without "her" as the troublemaker in this life, they would probably get married earlier than in their previous life.
"Will it?" Du Yuejia smiled bitterly. "Although we are both from the city, my family environment is very ordinary, especially since my biological mother is not here. As for Pengfei, you also know that his father is the director of a state-owned factory. There is a big gap between us."
“…”
Jiang Yao almost forgot that the relationship between the male and female protagonists was strongly opposed by Zhao's parents. Firstly, it was because Du Yuejia's family was poor and not worthy of the Zhao family. Secondly, Zhao's father and mother had always liked Jiang Yao and regarded her as the best candidate for Zhao's daughter-in-law.
Now she is no longer an obstacle, but Du Yuejia's family situation cannot be changed, and it is hard to say when they will get married.
Jiang Yao: "As parents, we can never persuade our children. As long as you keep going, everything will be fine."
"Thank you for your comfort." Du Yuejia found that her impression of Jiang Yao had changed a lot, especially what she said to her today.
"You're welcome, I was just saying it casually." Jiang Yao had never thought of becoming good friends with the heroine, and it was most appropriate to keep the farthest distance between them.
Du Yuejia: “…”
The two walked in silence for a while, and when they were about to reach a fork in the road, Jiang Yao thought she could finally end the awkward conversation, but Du Yuejia suddenly stopped her, "Jiang Yao, there is something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yao was slightly stunned when she saw her serious expression.
Du Yuejia looked at her, hesitant to speak, but finally mustered up the courage to speak: "As for the matter between you and Lu Che, it is very likely that Yuejiao said it. She and I are in conflict now, and you know the reason. Pengfei said that you reminded him, and I am grateful to you, so I told you my guess so that you can be on guard in advance."
"Actually, I could have guessed it, but thank you for reminding me." Jiang Yao found that Du Yuejia had a very positive outlook on life, probably because of the halo of the heroine.
"You're welcome. It's what I should do." Du Yuejia said, "But you don't have to worry too much. She asked for leave two days ago to go back to the provincial capital for a blind date. It's possible that she can return to the city through marriage. Hey... In fact, the man she met is two years younger than my dad. He is a leader in the Revolutionary Committee. His previous wife passed away two months ago, and now he wants to remarry. After all, she and I are sisters, so I should persuade her, but she probably won't listen to me now."
"Of course not."
If Du Yuejia hadn't said it, Jiang Yao would have almost forgotten about it. In her previous life, there was also a scene where Du Yuejiao returned to the city for a blind date, but at that time Du Yuejia and Du Yuejiao were still on "good terms". She tried hard to persuade her and asked Zhao Pengfei to be her lobbyist. Seeing that Zhao Pengfei cared about her so much and worried about her, Du Yuejiao felt that there was still hope, so she continued to stay in Qingyuan.
The original owner was not a good person in his previous life, but Du Yuejiao was definitely not a good person either. The two were birds of a feather.
However, later Du Yuejia married Zhao Pengfei, and Du Yuejiao's attempt to sow discord was hopeless, so she went back to find the leader of the Revolutionary Committee.
The leader of the Revolutionary Committee had married another woman at the time, and for her sake he divorced his second wife and married her for the third time. But the good times didn't last long. Less than a year after they got married, the leader fell from power, and she suffered misfortune as well.
Realizing that she was too emotional, Jiang Yao slowed down her tone and said, "You are against her now. If you try to persuade her, she won't think you are doing this for her own good. She will only think that you are jealous of her finding a good home. She is only one year younger than you and is an adult. She can secretly instigate you and Zhao Pengfei, which shows that she is not stupid. She must have her own considerations on whether to marry that leader or not."
"It seems... that's the truth." Du Yuejia nodded, not quite understanding.
"It's not just like that, it's exactly the truth." This is the best opportunity to "eliminate" Du Yuejiao without any effort. Jiang Yao can't let it go. She talked to Du Yuejia for a long time with great earnestness. Only when she heard that she was sure that she would not persuade Du Yuejiao did she go home with peace of mind.
The trip back and forth took some time, and by the time Jiang Yao returned to Lu's house, it was time to cook.
Lu Che had been repairing the tractor and working all morning, so she wanted to make something delicious to reward him.
There was a fish in the water tank at home. Jiang Yao was not sure if it could be eaten, so she ran to the main room to ask Lu Qing: "Sister Qing, can the fish in the water tank be eaten? I want to make a fish for Lu Che to replenish his body."
Before Lu Qing could speak, the old lady spoke up and said with a smile, "Of course, you two were tired last night, so eat more at noon later."
“…” Grandma, can we just bring up last night when we have a disagreement?
Jiang Yao went to catch fish with a red face.
There was some leftover oil in the kitchen from yesterday's banquet, and it would not be good to keep it for too long, so it had to be used as soon as possible. She thought about it and decided to make some sweet and sour fish fillets.
It is not difficult to make sweet and sour fish cubes. First, cut the fish into cubes, then coat them with flour and fry them thoroughly, and finally pour a sauce made of sugar and vinegar on them.
She cooked according to the time, and when the food was ready, Lu Che just came back from work.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Jiang Yao said to Lu Che as she brought the dishes into the main room.
Lu Che looked at his wife's slender back and went straight into the shower room to take a shower.
When he came out, everyone was already gathered around the dinner table.
Before, she and he sat in a corner apart, but now of course they sat together.
As soon as Lu Che sat down next to her, he held her hand under the table.
Although it wasn't the first time that she had done something in front of everyone, Jiang Yao still felt guilty. She glanced at Lu Che and signaled him to let go.
All he had been thinking about while working the whole morning was his wife. Now that he had finally grabbed her little hand, Boss Lu was unwilling to let go easily and held it even tighter.
Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Qing looked at the young couple exchanging glances and smiled at each other.
The adults looked at each other, while Zhou Yang and Zhou Xin were completely mesmerized by the sweet and sour fish fillets in front of them.
The outside was crispy and the inside was tender, with a sweet and sour taste. The two children ate while shouting, "Aunt, your cooking is so delicious."
"Aunt, I will only eat the food you cook from now on. I don't want to eat the food my mother cooks anymore."
Lu Qing felt angry and amused, but before she could say anything, Lu Che said, "From now on, only eat the food cooked by my wife. Do you want to tire my wife out?"
When the two little kids heard this, they looked unhappy.
Zhou Yang: "Uncle, you don't like me and Xinxin anymore."
"My uncle only likes my aunt now." Zhou Xin said aggrievedly: "It turns out that men always forget their mothers after they have a wife... No, they forget their nephews and nieces."
“…”
Everyone burst into laughter at Zhou Xin's smart words.
The lunch was very lively. Lu Che felt sorry for his wife cooking and was about to take over the dishwashing job, but Lu Qing got there first and said, "You two have been busy all morning, you must be tired, go and have a rest."
Lu Che had long wanted to be alone with his wife, and now that his sister had offered him the opportunity, he certainly didn't hesitate and pulled Jiang Yao back to the room.
As soon as he returned to the room and closed the door, Lu Che couldn't wait to hug Jiang Yao and kiss her.
Originally he just wanted to kiss his wife, but he overestimated his control and soon things got out of control.
It was broad daylight and Jiang Yao was reluctant at first, fearing that her body couldn't take it, but seeing how hard he was working, she finally gave in to him.
When it was over, Jiang Yao fell on the bed exhausted. She felt that her work today had been in vain and she had to sleep until the evening.
Lu Che, who had been working hard just now, was now full of energy. He dressed quickly and prepared to go to work.
This time, Jiang Yao will not feel sorry for him as much as she did in the morning. Humph... He is full of energy, so if she needs to feel sorry for him, it should be for herself.
"Wife, I'm going to work." Lu Che kissed Jiang Yao's lips. She hummed and waved her hand: "Go ahead and do more work." I'm tired from work. Don't bother me tonight.
Lu Che stood up and was about to turn around, but suddenly he thought of something and turned back. He bent down and said to Jiang Yao, "Wife, there is something I forgot to tell you."
Jiang Yao closed her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Che: "The county machinery factory is doing well, and we want to give benefits to the employees during the factory anniversary in a few days. The purchasing director likes the snowy mooncakes you asked me to send for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and wants to order a batch of snowy mooncakes from us to give to the employees."
Jiang Yao was very tired. She had been listening to him without any hesitation. When she heard the last sentence, her eyes suddenly opened and blinked rapidly a few times, like money entering an account. She asked, "How many do they want to order?"
"The director said that everyone should get five. There are about 200 employees in the machinery factory, so the total number is about 1,000." Lu Che said, "It will be very hard to make 1,000 snowy mooncakes. It's okay if you don't want to do it. I can push the director."
"It's not hard. Not to mention one thousand, two thousand will be fine." Jiang Yao sat up excitedly: "Confirm the delivery date and quantity with the director as soon as possible, and we will make preparations in advance."
After saying that, she raised her arms to hold his neck and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, "Cheche, you are awesome!"
The author has something to say:
Lu Che: Wife, what's so great about me? Please explain it clearly!
