Lu Yunzheng began to salivate unconsciously when he heard from the military wives that Xu Wantang cooked the food himself.
The last time I ate Xu Wantang's food was in City B. After eating it once, I thought about eating it a second time, but I never had the chance.
He had no intention of forcing Xu Wantang to cook. There was a canteen in the military area, and it was quite convenient for the two of them to eat in the canteen.
But Xu Wantang was cooking today, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
When Xu Wantang heard Lu Yunzheng's words, his mind was filled with questions.
Stay for food?
Who keeps the meal?
Leave food for whom?
Did she leave food for Lu Yunzheng?
This behavior sounds a bit ambiguous. Lu Yunzheng must have crossed the line...
Not to mention that there was no food left at all today, even if there was, she wouldn't leave a portion for Lu Yunzheng!
She cooking for Lu Yunzheng and Lu Yunzheng bringing her breakfast are two different things.
Cooking is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and full of heart. If she had nothing to do, she would never do this if she asked Lu Yunzheng.
Of course, it's a different matter if you ask for something, it's a matter of favor and has nothing to do with feelings.
"No." Xu Wantang answered simply.
She looked at Lu Yunzheng and saw that the man's face was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
When he looked again, Lu Yunzheng still had that cold poker face, and Xu Wantang couldn't help but feel that what she just saw was her illusion.
But her eyesight was pretty good, so she probably saw it right.
In other words... Lu Yunzheng quite likes to eat her cooking?
It just so happened that she had something to ask of Lu Yunzheng, so she might as well take this opportunity to put it forward.
"That... Captain Lu..." Xu Wantang was a little embarrassed after all, since he was asking for help.
Lu Yunzheng frowned a little uncomfortably.
He could tell that when Xu Wantang spoke, he did not pinch his throat like Liu Changjiang's sister-in-law next door, but spoke in a normal voice.
Many people call him Captain Lu every day, but I don't know why. Only Xu Wantang calls him that, and he feels uncomfortable hearing it.
It was as if there were little hands scratching him at the end of each word.
"Just call me by my name. Tell me if you have something to say." Lu Yunzheng said in a cold tone.
Xu Wantang took advantage of the moment when Lu Yunzheng lowered his head and rolled his eyes in his direction.
She was not frightened by Lu Yunzheng's attitude. In her next life, she had long been used to Lu Yunzheng's intermittent convulsions, but she just couldn't bear to see him being so arrogant.
But now that she has something to ask for, she naturally won't break out, "Then I'll tell you the truth, how about you do me a small favor and I'll cook you a big meal in return?"
Xu Wantang's index finger and thumb pinched together to indicate "small".
Xu Wantang's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and the eyelashes on his upper and lower eyelids were clustered together at the end of his eyes, making him look a little pitiful.
Lu Yunzheng looked at her vivid expressions and movements. For some reason, the depression in his heart because Xu Wantang didn't leave him any food dissipated a little.
But on the surface, Lu Yunzheng still looked calm and self-possessed, "Let's talk first."
Xu Wantang didn't hesitate much, so he said frankly, "I would like to ask you to help me pay attention to whether there is any easy and not tiring work on the island. Staying at home is too boring, and I want to find something to do."
As if he was afraid that Lu Yunzheng would misunderstand, Xu Wantang immediately waved his hand and added, "I'm not letting you go through the back door. You have a lot of connections. Just help me keep an eye on it. I'll fight for the rest myself."
Regarding work matters, she originally didn't want to ask Lu Yunzheng. She wanted to ask the military wives and ask them to help keep an eye on it.
But during the chat this afternoon, Xu Wantang learned that many military wives without children have plans to find jobs.
The situation on the island is basically consistent with the current social environment - few jobs and many employed people.
Under such circumstances, it would definitely be difficult to find a job, and the military wives themselves were too busy to take care of themselves, so Xu Wantang naturally had no way to ask them for help.
Lu Yunzheng is the group leader and has wider connections, so it is obviously a better choice to talk to Lu Yunzheng about this matter.
Apart from feelings, Xu Wantang had no intention of completely drawing a clear line with Lu Yunzheng before the actual divorce.
After all, they are still in a marriage relationship, and nothing can be taken advantage of.
After resurrecting his life, Xu Wantang naturally puts his own interests first. On the premise that the emotional boundaries are clearly defined, there is nothing wrong with getting some benefits from Lu Yunzheng in a reasonable way.
Lu Yunzheng, who was being "picked up" by Xu Wantang, seemed to be pleased by Xu Wantang's words "you have a lot of connections". Strangely, there were many people complimenting him, and he felt noisy.
But when the words came out of Xu Wantang's mouth, they sounded so pleasant to the ears. Lu Yunzheng thought: Maybe it's because Xu Wantang's tone is too natural?
"Okay, then it's a deal." The man said solemnly.
Hearing Lu Yunzheng's affirmative reply, Xu Wantang put his heart in his stomach.
Although Lu Yunzheng is indifferent, he keeps his promises and will do what he promises. Xu Wantang is very confident in his ability to do things.
"Then I'll go back to the house first. Let me know when you want to eat!"
Xu Wantang was very happy when her goal was achieved. The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a pair of sweet little pear dimples, which reflected her curved smiling eyes, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Lu Yunzheng glanced at Xu Wantang, lowered his throat, and turned his eyes elsewhere, "Now."
Xu Wantang had just taken two steps away when he heard Lu Yunzheng's words.
"But...the vegetables and meat we bought today are all used up." Xu Wantang said with some surprise.
She didn't expect that Lu Yunzheng was so anxious that he wanted her to do it now.
"Then go buy it." Lu Yunzheng said concisely and concisely.
Xu Wantang curled his lips, and although he was a little reluctant, he still put down the book in his hand.
There is no other way, who can ask her to ask for help?
Xu Wantang lowered his head and put on his shoes when he saw Lu Yunzheng standing straight at the door with the key in his hand.
Xu Wantang said suspiciously, "What...are you standing there for?"
"Buying groceries, what else?"
Lu Yunzheng's red eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes seemed to say: What's there to ask?
Xu Wantang felt very unhappy with his look, but when he thought about the fact that he was about to have a free bag-carrying boy, Xu Wantang's unhappiness dissipated.
Xu Wantang put on his sun hat and set off with Lu Yunzheng.
Lu Yunzheng walked in front, and Xu Wantang walked slowly behind.
"Eh? Lu Yunzheng! Did you go in the wrong direction? Sister-in-law Qian and the others took me in the other direction this morning!" Xu Wantang stopped where he was and said suspiciously.
Lu Yunzheng looked back at her and saw that she didn't move. He took a step forward and grabbed her wrist, "Just follow me. Can I still sell you?"
The man's cold but smiling teasing laughter came from his ears.
