Xu Wantang was stunned for a moment, with a very surprised look on his face.
Lu Yunzheng asked Chen Yue to take care of her? No matter how I hear this, I feel that it is fantasy.
But after Chen Yue said this, everything seemed to make sense.
Chen Yue definitely didn't know that she had relatives here, and she only mentioned it to Lu Yunzheng.
After a new life, Xu Wantang didn't feel at all happy about this in her heart. She knew that Lu Yunzheng had a strong sense of responsibility, and the reason why he did this was probably because he was afraid that something would happen to her.
Xu Wantang knew that Lu Yunzheng did this out of responsibility and not out of his own selfishness.
Although it was Lu Yunzheng who asked Chen Yue to come, he still had to thank Chen Yue.
"Thank you, Sister Chen Yue. I don't know how to thank you." Xu Wantang said sincerely, and then went to the house to get the money.
The things Chen Yue had prepared seemed to have been carefully prepared. Xu Wantang would be lying if he said he wasn't impressed. After all, who doesn't like to be treated with care?
Chen Yue stopped Xu Wantang,
"What are you doing? Want money? Sister Xiaotang, I will be angry if you keep doing this! You are my sister, I should take care of you! What are you saying thank you for? What money are you getting?"
Xu Wantang had no choice but to give up temporarily.
Chen Yue waved her hand, "I won't disturb you anymore. Just drink some porridge and some brown sugar and ginger water and then go and have a rest. I'll pick up the lunch box another day."
Xu Wantang sent Chen Yue to the door, "How can I ask you to come and pick it up? I will send it to you in two days."
"That's okay!" Chen Yue nodded with a smile.
After sending Chen Yue away, the original silence returned to the room.
The ginger brown sugar water was sweet but spicy, and the warmth slid down the lips to the stomach, and even the lower abdomen was ignited with warmth, dispelling some of the tearing pain.
Xu Wantang didn't like ginger, but he drank it all.
She didn't want to waste Chen Yue's thoughts, and she was really not feeling well.
Xu Wantang was sweating profusely. The brown sugar and ginger water was too filling. After a few sips of the porridge, he couldn't drink it anymore, so he had to give up.
Xu Wantang picked up the menstrual belt at hand and went to the bathroom to put it on.
Feminine hygiene products at this time were not as advanced as those after the funeral, but they also solved Xu Wantang's urgent need.
After finishing everything, she lay back on the bed again, with the hot water bottle pressed against her belly through her clothes, feeling waves of warmth and sleepiness.
Before falling asleep, Xu Wantang was still thinking about what to buy for Chen Yue's family as a thank you gift...
But before I could fully think about it, I fell into a deep sleep.
When Lu Yunzheng came back, Xu Wantang had improved a lot and was sitting on a chair drinking the porridge brought by Chen Yue.
Lu Yunzheng paused and asked proactively, "Are you feeling better?"
When Lu Yunzheng asked this question, Xu Wantang was holding a bowl and boldly pouring the remaining mouthful of porridge into his mouth.
After hearing Lu Yunzheng's words, she quickly put down the bowl and nodded.
"Lu Yunzheng, thank you today. I'm much better." Xu Wantang said.
Her face was a little red from the hot porridge, which added some rosiness to her originally weak and pale face. Her lips that looked very soft were shining with a grain of rice left on her lips, like a glutton. Like a tabby cat.
Her eyes were very bright, but because of her weakness, her eyelashes seemed to hang on her eyelids, which made her look even more pitiful.
She clearly didn't do anything, but she could inexplicably make people feel soft-hearted, and Lu Yunzheng was no exception.
He stared at the corner of her mouth, then turned his gaze to her wet eyes, and then hurriedly looked away as if he had been burned.
He cleared his throat and said coldly, "Don't think too much, I..."
Before Lu Yunzheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Wantang.
Her long and thick eyelashes were hanging down, the corners of her mouth were gentle, and her tone was a little slow, "I know."
Perhaps due to discomfort, she seemed a little weak when she spoke.
"I know you didn't ask someone to take care of me because you cared about me, but out of responsibility and humanitarianism."
Her figure was slender, as if she could be blown away by the wind at any time. She paused and continued, "I know everything, Lu Yunzheng, you don't have to emphasize this to me every time."
She raised her head and looked into his eyes from a short distance away. There seemed to be sober self-mockery in her eyes, "I won't think too much about it, don't worry."
The person in front of him seemed to disappear into the air at any time, and Lu Yunzheng felt inexplicably panicked.
But on the surface, he still maintained his original cold and distant appearance, "It's good that you know."
Xu Wantang seemed to be used to his attitude, nodded, lowered his eyes, and said no more.
The two sides seemed to have reached a consensus and fell into silence together.
After a long time, Lu Yunzheng seemed to have nothing to say, and spoke again, "Commissar Shen went to study abroad and hasn't come back yet, so he hasn't applied for divorce yet."
Xu Wantang didn't look up at him, walked into the kitchen and cleaned Chen Yue's lunch box.
"Well, it doesn't matter. You can apply again when the political commissar comes back. It doesn't matter if it's a few days later." Xu Wantang said calmly.
The discomfort in Lu Yunzheng's heart rose again, but he didn't understand where this feeling that made him extremely irritable came from.
The two of them didn't speak anymore. They were clearly under the same roof, but they were like two strangers.
That night, Lu Yunzheng had another dream.
In the dream, he dissatisfiedly pressed the poor, slender, small animal-like person into his arms, and kissed her again and again. The other person whimpered, but he responded with even more brutal kisses.
Lu Yunzheng did not fall asleep again. He smoked one cigarette after another as if he was self-loathing.
He didn't like Xu Wantang, but why did he have such a dream every time?
Since Xu Wantang came to the island, it has become more frequent.
It shouldn't be like this.
That night, he made a decision - the divorce from Xu Wantang would be expedited.
＊
The next day, the military region and regiment headquarters.
Political Commissar Shen Jianyan slapped the table, and the whole office shook, "Nonsense!"
He had just returned from studying at the Central Government, and before his butt was hot, Lu Yunzheng came to his office to find him, saying that he wanted a divorce!
Shen Jianyan's black hair was covered with silver strands, and he had a serious face. There were many wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes, but his eyes shone with perseverance.
Lu Yunzheng lowered his head and said nothing, letting the political commissar in front of him get angry.
"You've only been married for a few months and you want to get divorced? What do you think of marriage? What do you think of the military?"
"You are a regiment leader, how do you set an example for your soldiers like this?!"
Political Commissar Shen pursed his lips and took a sip of tea angrily. However, he let out a "poof" when the hot tea burned him, and the serious expression on his face became much more vivid.
Political Commissar Shen pointed to the door, "I'll just pretend you've never been here and go out."
Political Commissar Shen looked down at the documents in his hand, treating Lu Yunzheng as if he were nothing.
"Political Commissar, divorce is a decision made by the two of us after careful consideration. I hope you will approve it."
Lu Yunzheng said without giving in at all.
