Chapter 316: Just Sleeping
Liu Sanjin was extremely sad, but she still took out the money. She didn't dare not to buy it. The money she earned from going to Beijing this month had not been sent yet, and it was many days later than usual. She was already a little worried. If she didn't do as the old man asked her at this time, and he got confused and wrote a letter to that Bai man, then what would she and her son and grandson eat and drink in the future?
She wiped the wet corners of her eyes and hurried back to get the money.
Lu Changzhu walked into the kitchen and checked the things he bought. They looked okay, so he looked at the basket against the wall and went out to pick vegetables.
The family now has the filial piety money given by the eldest and third sons, and now the second son's family is also willing to pay for the food. He is old and doesn't want to work anymore. He is very tired.
I hope the second and fourth children can do well. As an old person, I have endless worries.
Shen Meng was fanning herself until her hands were sore. It was already past two o'clock, the weather was a little chilly, and she was a little sleepy.
Lu Zhenping lay in the room for a while but couldn't fall asleep, so he went outside and pulled the small bed at the gate of the courtyard into the courtyard, pulled a sheet to cover the children, closed the gate, and pulled Shen Meng back to the room.
"What are you doing? What are you doing in broad daylight?"
"No, no, I'm just going to sleep. I haven't been so comfortable in a while. I can't sleep. Come and stay with me. The children are covered with sheets, so they won't catch a cold."
"Well, I'm sleepy too."
When Lu Zhenping heard this, he took off his shirt and lay down on the kang, stretching out his arms, waiting for Shen Meng to lie down over him.
Shen Meng saw that he was squinting his eyes. She thought that he was probably too busy during this period, and he had to leave the army, so he had no time to cut his hair. The loose hair on his forehead was almost covering his eyes. He was wearing a white vest, leaning lazily on the kang cabinet, which made her a little fascinated. She licked her lips and turned her head away with all her strength.
There hadn't been a man on my bed for a long time, and suddenly one came, and I felt the whole room was filled with hormones.
She walked to the door of the room and closed it, then walked to the kang and changed into her cotton floral pajamas.
Without looking, she could feel the strong gaze behind her.
It's strange. I was so sleepy that I kept yawning before going back to the room. But in just a few minutes, I felt very energetic, as if I had taken an aphrodisiac. I wasn't sleepy at all.
Shen Meng swallowed, slowly got on the kang and lay in Lu Zhenping's arms. Her heart was in a mess and her mind was blurred. As soon as she approached him, her body became hot.
The sweet, soft, delicate and cute wife finally lay in his arms. It would be a lie to say that he had no thoughts at all. But at this moment, Lu Zhenping did nothing. When he held her in his arms, he just felt very satisfied, more satisfied than doing some things.
He sighed softly, and hugged the person with more strength.
"Huh? Just slept like that?"
"Listening to your tone, I'm quite disappointed. Wife, have a good sleep. Everything will wait until tonight. Don't be impatient."
".Not too urgent."
"Go to sleep, and eat in the old courtyard tonight. We don't need to cook at home."
"Row."
Shen Meng waited for a while, then listened to his light snoring, exhaled deeply, and really fell asleep. She thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect that the person who just said he couldn't sleep was now snoring. She hadn't had a good look at this person since he came back. She slightly withdrew her body and looked at his eyebrows carefully.
He has become thinner, darker, and seems a little rough.
He must have suffered a lot, she knew it, and raised her hand to touch his face with some heartache.
Shen Meng rested her forehead on his chest and blinked. His muscles were so tight that it felt a little uncomfortable to use them as a pillow. But she didn't move away because she felt at ease. In order to stop herself from having any random thoughts, she quickly closed her eyes, otherwise she would definitely do something wrong.
The whole family slept until about four in the afternoon.
Lu Jiasheng's family came several times, but they saw the door was closed and didn't knock. Xie Jing also came at noon after eating. When she heard that Lu Zhenping was resting, she hurried away because she had to go to work.
The next time we met was at the dining table in the main hall of the old Lu family.
Wu Xianglan started preparing meals as soon as she got off work. Originally, she was reluctant to cook when Liu Sanjin asked her to do so. She had already paid for the meals, and now she had to wait for the food to be ready. After all, there was a freeloader in the fourth brother's room!
But Yiting said that Lu Zhenping had returned and bought a lot of meat, vegetables, and cooked food. She threw the bag in her arms onto the kang and ran to the kitchen. She also grabbed Yongqiang and Yongli to help pick vegetables and cook.
Liu Sanjin didn't dare leave even though he had some free time. He moved a stool and sat at the kitchen door, supervising Wu Xianglan while she cooked.
Unfortunately, the Wu Xianglan now is not the Wu Xianglan of the past. She stuffed the scraps from cutting cooked food into Yongqiang and Yongli's mouthfuls one by one.
There were large clumps of lard scooped out when cooking. Liu Sanjin covered his chest, wanting to spit but not daring to, for he did not dare to provoke Wu Xianglan's family again.
So when everyone was sitting in the main room, Wu Xianglan, Yongqiang and Yongli sat at the very edge. The three of them were almost full. If it weren't for talking to Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping, they would have washed up and gone to bed long ago.
The happiest person was Lu Changzhu. He poured a glass of sorghum wine and passed it to his other sons.
"Your eldest brother is back today, so have a drink. It's okay. Dad has made two pots of sorghum wine, which is enough for you to drink."
"It's only because my eldest brother is at home that my parents are willing to put so much effort into preparing so many meat dishes. Hehe, eldest brother, I want to toast you. I heard that you have made great contributions in this flood relief effort. Congratulations, congratulations."
Before others started pouring wine or talking, Lu Jiaxuan quickly raised his glass and toasted Lu Zhenping.
"Don't be so polite, family. Sit down!"
Lu Zhenping waved at him without even picking up the wine glass. The expression on Lu Jiaxuan's face froze. He sat down awkwardly without drinking the wine in his hand.
Lu Jiasheng and Lu Jiahe also poured wine. The two of them held their glasses and waited for the old man to speak. One didn't know what to say, and the other was waiting to eat meat and wished he could say less.
Lu Changzhu saw that his sons were all looking at him, coughed twice, and picked up the wine glass.
"The eldest brother is back today, and I am very happy. He is a hero who has made contributions to the country and the people. Everyone in our family should toast him. Come, I propose that this glass of wine be toasted to the eldest brother. You younger generations can toast yourselves, and I am the elder, so I will drink alone."
Liu Sanjin looked at his smiling face and wished she could tear his mouth apart. He said so much just to flatter the eldest brother and stepped on her son's face. She felt suffocated just by looking at the table full of food and wine.
