After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back
Chapter 9 This is your brother, why would he date you?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on her. Wang Mingfang and her son looked embarrassed, while Lu Jingzhe showed undisguised disgust.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Mingfang smiled awkwardly, pulled He Shanshan over, glared at her, and whispered:
"This is your brother Jingzhe, why would he date you?"
"Brother Jingzhe." He Shanshan repeated, and then she said as if she had just woken up from a dream: "He is Lu Jingzhe."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Mingfang in disbelief and asked, "Why is he back?"
Lu Jingzhe looked at He Shanshan coldly, his eyes gleaming with coldness, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why do I have to give you a report before I come back?"
Feeling the low pressure from Lu Jingzhe and listening to the stupid words from her stupid daughter, Wang Mingfang was furious. She winked at He Shanshan to shut up and said flatteringly:
"Why can't he come back? This is Jingzhe's home."
He Shanshan finally accepted the fact. Thinking about the series of actions she had just done, her face suddenly turned red and she felt extremely ashamed.
At this time, Xia Qingning on the side whispered to He Shanshan:
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't think I need to wait another thirty or forty years."
He Shanshan glared at her and felt as if she had a breath stuck in her heart that she couldn't swallow or spit out. She felt ashamed and annoyed and very uncomfortable.
Lu Lidong, who didn't want to see his sister continue to embarrass herself, walked up, patted Lu Jingzhe on the shoulder and said:
"You finally decided to go home." Then he took his daughter from Yao Hongmei's hands and held her in front of Lu Jingzhe: "Yingying, this is your uncle, hurry up and call him."
"Uncle." The three-year-old girl called out in a baby voice.
The little girl had round eyes and two small buns on her head, which made her very cute. Lu Jingzhe responded and picked up the little girl, with a rare smile on his face.
At this time, Lu Lidong turned to look at Wang Mingfang and said:
"Mom, let's prepare dinner."
Hearing the word "Mom", Lu Jingzhe's face, which originally had a hint of smile on it, turned visibly cold.
The mother and son noticed the change in Lu Jingzhe's expression, and their faces became unnatural. After Wang Mingfang realized what was happening, she immediately said:
"Okay, let's have dinner right away." Then he turned around and said to Xia Qingning:
"Qing Ning, go and call Xiao Xue back. Once this child starts playing, she won't come back unless you call her."
Soon the table was filled with dishes, very rich, including braised pork belly, celery and pork shreds, braised chicken feet... and a roasted chicken.
Wang Mingfang asked everyone to take a seat, then knocked on He Shanshan's door, asking her to come out for dinner.
Although she had just lost face, she still had to eat, and the food today was so delicious. He Shanshan walked out of the room awkwardly.
"Yingying, come here to your mother. Your uncle wants to eat." Yao Hongmei said as she took the child from Lu Jingzhe.
Lu Jingzhe took out a big unity note, put it in Yingying's hand and said:
"A red envelope for meeting."
In this era, children are usually given 70 or 80 yuan as New Year's gifts. It is rare to give out 10 yuan at once. Several people in the room were very surprised, especially He Shanshan, whose eyes were wide open. This was her salary for more than half a month! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. How could such a handsome and rich man be so cheap to Xia Qingning?
Wang Mingfang was the first to react and touched the daughter-in-law next to her with her shoulder. Yao Hongmei understood and said to her daughter:
"Yingying, hurry up and thank your uncle for the red envelope."
"He's just a little kid. Just give him seven or eight cents as a token of your appreciation. How can you give him so much?" Wang Mingfang also said nice things.
At this time, Xia Qingning brought Lu Xiaoxue back. When Lu Xiaoxue entered the room, she saw the roast chicken on the table and her eyes lit up instantly:
"Wow, roast chicken."
As she said that, she ran to the table and raised her hand to take it. Xia Qingning quickly grabbed her and said:
"Wash your hands first."
Just look at her hands, which are sticky with sugar stains and dirt. They look black and as dirty as they can be.
Lu Xiaoxue didn't care about that. Now she only had the roast chicken in her eyes. She rolled her eyes at Xia Qingning and said unhappily:
"I want you to manage."
"Go wash!" Lu Jingzhe glanced at her and uttered two words in a deep voice.
Perhaps it was because Lu Jingzhe was wearing a military uniform and his words were too stressful, the usually fearless Lu Xiaoxue was also frightened, and walked towards the kitchen unwillingly, still muttering in a low voice:
"Just wash it."
She washed it symbolically, then ran out of the kitchen, sat at the table, and unceremoniously pulled off two chicken legs, taking one in each hand and gnawing on the left and the right.
Lu Jingzhe looked at his rude sister, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Lu Xiaoxue, give one to Yingying."
"Why? They're all mine." Lu Xiaoxue was very unconvinced and started yelling.
"Let her eat, let her eat. There is chicken here. Yingying can just eat the chicken." Wang Mingfang hurried out to smooth things over.
Lu Xiaoxue took the chicken leg, made a face, quickly jumped off the table and ran to the inner room.
"Second brother, just eat yours and leave her alone." Lu Lidong said, seeming to have gotten used to it.
Xia Qingning thought to herself, if one indulges and the other doesn't care, it would be strange if they don't become useless.
Lu Jingzhe seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't say anything else.
The meal was almost over, and the women had all left the table. Lu Lidong was still drinking with Lu Jingzhe. Lu Lidong seemed to be drunk, and he said to Lu Jingzhe with a big tongue:
"Second brother, I know you are unhappy to see her living here, but I really can't do anything about it now. Yingying is still young and needs to be taken care of. Your sister-in-law and I have to go to work and have no time to take care of her..."
"After all, she gave birth to me. She has worked hard in this family for many years and has taken care of Xiaoxue like her own daughter. People are all made of flesh and blood. I can't just keep denying her."
In the afternoon, when Wang Mingfang went to the state-owned restaurant to pack food, she told her son what Lu Jingzhe had said to her, so Lu Lidong deliberately said these things under the influence of alcohol.
Seeing that Lu Jingzhe still had no reaction, Lu Lidong suddenly choked up:
"It would have been great if our mother hadn't passed away so early! Sometimes I dream about her. She is still so kind and concerned about me, asking me if I am eating well and if I am warm."
The "mother" he referred to naturally referred to the deceased Su Hui.
The man is really drunk and his acting makes people cry. Xia Qingning listened to these sensational words in the house and sighed that Lu Lidong was worthy of being Wang Mingfang's son. He probably knew his mother's tricks since he was in the womb.
If he really had such a deep brotherly love for Lu Jingzhe, he would not have plotted against him and put his unwanted original body on his bed.
Faced with Lu Lidong's self-torture, Lu Jingzhe did not express his opinion, but just raised his hand and patted him on the back.
Xia Qingning just felt bored and didn't listen any more. She sat on the bed and raised her hand to touch the coat that Lu Jingzhe had put on her today. She was about to pick it up and put it on the chair when she suddenly remembered something. She opened the drawer and took out needle and thread.
It's still early, and there are no mobile phones or computers in this era for entertainment. It's boring to be idle, so I'll help him sew the fallen button back on, as a way of repaying him. After all, he has helped me so many times today.
For Xia Qingning, who studies fashion design, sewing a button is a piece of cake.
She found some black thread of the same color as the clothes in the box, threaded the needle, placed the buttons at the cuffs, and sewed them with a cross stitch. It took her a short while to finish. After thinking for a while, she sewed the loose buttons again.
When she had almost finished sewing, Lu Jingzhe suddenly opened the door and walked in.
