Seeing Chu Yue holding the quilt in her hands, Lu Xinghe stepped forward and took off the old quilt.
Chu Yue spread the new bedding on the bed and said, "Ms. sir, you go read a book first. I'll be here. Just pretend I don't exist."
Lu Xinghe looked at the colorless quilt in his hand, "What should I do with the old quilt?"
Chu Yue said while spreading the quilt, "Let's put it at the door first. I'll move it to the utility room later. If this room is moved out later, the old bedding will have to be replaced to avoid the landlord making trouble with it."
"good."
After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, he put the bedding directly in the utility room.
When I came back, the new bedding on the kang had been replaced.
Not only that, Chu Yue covered the originally uneven tabletop with a thick tablecloth, and added an oil lamp with a lampshade on top.
Chu Yue pointed at the oil lamp and said, "I saw that your oil lamp is an old model, short, and not bright enough, so I bought a new model. This one will be brighter, and it will be much more comfortable for my eyes when I read at night." "
Lu Xinghe has only been in the county town for a few days. He is also a very adaptable person. He is also focused on studying and scientific examinations. Seeing that the things here are enough for the time being, he has been making do with them.
Now that Chu Yue has taken care of it, the whole room looks a lot more refined and warm.
Sure enough, having a woman in the family is quite important.
Seeing Chu Yue taking a tool and preparing to pry the wooden board on the window, Lu Xinghe hurriedly stepped forward and held her hand.
"Let me do it and hurt your hand carefully."
"I can……"
"Tomorrow you will go to rescue the victims. If your hand is injured, it will affect your ability to use silver needles."
After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, he took the tool in Chu Yue's hand and, following her instructions, pried off all the tightly sealed wooden boards on the three windows.
After the window was pried open, the air in the room began to circulate. The slightly musty smell immediately dissipated a lot, and the room was not as dark as it was at the beginning.
At this moment, the small pot of paste in Chu Yue's hand was almost done.
"Ms. sir, you shouldn't have sealed this window, right?"
Lu Xinghe replied while sorting out the wooden boards that had been pried off, "No, it was like this when I came here."
Chu Yue said oh, then took out the oil paper she bought specially to seal the window, and then with the help of Lu Xinghe, she carefully painted the windows in the room with oil paper and pasted them.
After the oil paper was pasted, Chu Yue looked around and patted the dust in her hands.
"It looks much better this way."
Lu Xinghe nodded, "I thought I would only live there for two or three months, so I didn't bother to do it. It seems that replacing it with oil paper will indeed make it look much brighter."
Chu Yue used short pieces of wood to prop open several windows.
"If you read in the house every day, light is the most important thing. Besides, sleeping on moldy bedding for a long time will harm your body."
Looking at the little girl in front of him who was about to reach the height of his shoulders, Lu Xinghe reached out and took her into his arms.
"Thank you Yueyue."
Chu Yue pursed her lips and hugged Lu Xinghe's waist with both hands.
"Tomorrow I have to go to disaster relief with Mr. Luo's people. I may live in the place arranged by them for a while. My husband is here alone, so I have to take good care of myself."
"Will do."
The two of them had just finished their work when they heard a knock at the courtyard door.
Lu Xinghe turned around and opened the courtyard door, and saw a beautifully dressed girl standing at the door with a hint of astonishment on her face.
"why you?"
There was a hint of shyness on the girl's face.
"Brother Xinghe, I heard that you came back from town, so I thought of bringing you food myself. I also asked my parents on my behalf, what are you missing here?"
Because he often forgot to cook when he was studying, sometimes he simply ate at Guan Fuzi's house, so he stored his food at Guan Fuzi's house and asked them to cook together every day, sharing his share.
Normally, the mother-in-law in the Guan family's kitchen is responsible for delivering food to him, but today it is strange that Mrs. Guan's daughter Guan Linglong delivered the food.
Chu Yue and Lu Yufang heard the sound and came out of the room almost at the same time.
Looking at the beautifully dressed girl in front of her, Chu Yue felt hostile for no reason.
"Ms. sir, who is this?"
Lu Xinghe looked back at Chu Yue and saw the displeasure on her face, and he held her hand in his big palm with a doting look on her face.
"She is Master Guan's daughter."
Guan Linglong saw the two women suddenly appearing in the yard, with a look of astonishment on her face.
No wonder the last time his mother asked him if he was married, he said he was already married, which turned out to be true.
She looked at Chu Yue, with a hint of unknown emotion on her face, "No wonder Brother Xinghe told my parents before that he already had a wife. I guess this is my sister, right?"
Chu Yue frowned and said nothing, but Lu Yufang at the side spoke.
"I'm afraid I called you the wrong one, Miss Guan. My sister-in-law seems to be younger than you."
Brother Xinghe said that he was married, but Miss Guan could still lick her up quickly, which showed that she was not a pure and kind girl.
No wonder it is said that young ladies from wealthy families are very clever, and the same is true for the daughter of Master Guan's family.
Guan Linglong glanced at Lu Yufang, then looked at Lu Xinghe.
"Brother Xinghe, who is this?"
"I'm his sister." Lu Yufang glanced sideways at Guan Linglong, "Don't call me brother Xinghe brother. I'm getting goosebumps when I hear that."
She had been called like this since she was a child, and she didn't think anything of it. Now that Guan Linglong calls her like that, she doesn't want to call her brother Xinghe anymore.
She couldn't stand it, and Yueyue couldn't figure out why she was so disgusted.
Guan Linglong turned over the handkerchief with a look of grievance on her face, like a pitiful little kid who had been bullied.
"I have no ill intentions, I'm just here to deliver food. Can you please stop being so hostile to me?"
Lu Xinghe gently squeezed Chu Yue's hand and looked up at Guan Linglong.
"I'm very grateful that Miss Guan can personally deliver meals to me, but it's more appropriate to ask a cook to do this kind of work in the future. Miss Guan should not lower herself to do the work of a servant like this anymore," Lu said. Commoners really can’t afford it.”
Lu Xinghe's words were so cold that there was no warmth at all.
"A servant's job?" Guan Linglong's face was full of disbelief, "Brother Xinghe, how can you say that to me?"
When we usually meet at Guan's house, he is quite polite to me. How come he can be so rude when he talks?
In my memory, neither her parents had said such serious words to her.
Lu Xinghe nodded.
"If there is any offense, please forgive me Miss Guan."
Miss Guan's words directly opened the distance between the two.
The knuckles of Guan Linglong's hand holding the handkerchief turned white, and her heart was full of unwillingness and grievance. However, her back was straight, her manners were good, and she maintained her original pride.
"Since Mr. Lu is so out of touch, Linglong is the one who disturbed you."
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
