Xu Wantang, Luo Xiaojuan and Chen Yue walked home happily with their children.
Lu Yunzheng followed nervously.
His mind was in a mess and he just walked forward mechanically. It wasn't until he was tapped on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.
"Lu Tuan! What are you thinking about? I've been calling you for a long time!"
What caught his eye was Yang Zhiqiang's big face, and Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but stepped back in disgust.
Yang Zhiqiang said suspiciously, "You haven't been acting right lately? What happened? Did you have a conflict with your sister-in-law?"
Lu Yunzheng did not deny it. After a while, he nodded, "That's right."
Lu Yunzheng thought to himself: It would be nice if it was just a simple conflict. The conflict shows that there is still a chance for reconciliation, and Xu Wantang really wants to separate from him.
"Call Lao Qian and have a cigarette?" Yang Zhiqiang suggested.
Lu Yunzheng nodded.
Three men were sitting on wooden benches in Qian Baoguo's courtyard. Each of them held a cigarette in his hand and lit each other's cigarettes.
Lu Yunzheng took a breath, and the smoke surrounded Lu Yunzheng's face.
"What's going on?" Qian Baoguo asked.
"Sister-in-law made you angry?" Yang Zhiqiang asked.
Lu Yunzheng took another puff of cigarette and shook his head, "How could that be? She is very good."
Qian Baoguo saw Lu Yunzheng smoking like he was risking his life, so he advised, "You can't smoke like this, it will hurt your body."
Lu Yunzheng just said "I know" softly and then stopped talking.
But the way of smoking has not changed much.
"So you made your sister-in-law angry?" Yang Zhiqiang asked.
"Yes." Lu Yunzheng replied.
Yang Zhiqiang had an expression like "Why are you so ignorant?" "I heard my wife Chen Yue praise her every day, saying that my sister-in-law is good at everything. She is beautiful, has a good personality, has a good temper, and can cook well. She is so good. Wife, do you always offend others? You will regret it when they run away one day!"
The more Lu Yunzheng listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Yang Zhiqiang's last words seemed to have turned into a sharp knife and pierced Lu Yunzheng's heart.
Seeing Lu Yunzheng's abnormal appearance, Yang Zhiqiang finally couldn't bear it and advised, "It's normal for a couple to have conflicts. Just admit your mistake and buy her something she likes to coax her out!"
"Yes! My wife-in-law said that what matters is attitude and whether you can correct it. As long as you do these two things, your siblings will definitely not be angry." Qian Baoguo also came up with ideas.
Lu Yunzheng shook his head, "Our divorce report has been handed in."
"What?!"
"Are you really going to divorce your sister-in-law?!"
Yang Zhiqiang and Qian Baoguo both stood up in surprise and looked at Lu Yunzheng in disbelief.
Yang Zhiqiang and Qian Baoguo didn't know about Lu Yunzheng and Xu Wantang's divorce, and Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan didn't mention it.
Only the last time the three families had dinner together, Luo Xiaojuan mentioned it when she was drunk. Qian Baoguo thought it was Luo Xiaojuan's drunken talk and didn't take it seriously at all.
Under the surprised eyes of Yang Zhiqiang and Qian Baoguo, Lu Yunzheng briefly explained the whole matter.
"Damn! Lu Yunzheng! Is there something wrong with your brain?" Yang Zhiqiang called Lu Yunzheng by his first name in one of the few times.
"Okay, why are you fussing? You are doubting. Is the mouth under your nose used to vent your anger? Just ask her directly! To say the least, it was my sister-in-law who administered the medicine. Everything that was supposed to happen happened. Have a good life!"
The cigarette in Lu Yunzheng's hand had burned to the cigarette holder, and a plume of smoke rose from the sparks near the cigarette holder.
He was silent for a moment and then said, "I thought at the time that marriage should be based on feelings. And I didn't investigate the matter clearly. I felt that she had bad conduct and unscrupulous means and ruined my marriage, so I didn't let her She follows the army and always avoids her..."
Qian Baoguo sighed deeply, "The matter is now over. If you want to continue living with your siblings, you should make it up to them..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzheng's eyes lit up and he became energetic, "How to compensate?"
"You give her whatever she wants." Qian Baoguo stood up and patted Lu Yunzheng on the shoulder, "You can figure it out for yourself. My wife asked me to go to your house to help with work. There can be no further delay."
Yang Zhiqiang also came up with an idea, "Just be nice to her! Treat her as hard as you can, and act coquettishly when nothing happens..."
Then Yang Zhiqiang's cheeks turned red as if he had thought of something. He lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know, but my wife likes it very much..."
Yang Zhiqiang pointed at his belly. Seeing that Lu Yunzheng still looked confused, he had no choice but to say, "That's what...abs!"
Lu Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, and the tips of his ears slowly turned red.
Yang Zhiqiang patted Lu Yunzheng on the shoulder, "My wife just asked me to help, so let's go."
Lu Yunzheng stubbed out his cigarette butts and thought about what Qian Baoguo and Yang Zhiqiang said.
Be nice to her...
Give her whatever she wants...
But what does Xu Wan Tang want...
He suddenly realized that he knew very little about Xu Wantang...
＊
On the other side, Xu Wantang's house was extremely lively.
Several older children helped pick vegetables sensibly, while the younger children sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Xu Wantang, Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan were handling the seafood in their hands to prepare for the seafood feast later.
Chen Yue processed it for a while and then looked up at the door, "Where did Yang Zhiqiang go? I asked him to come over a long time ago, and he hasn't been seen for such a long time."
"My old money is the same! Just wait a moment, he should be here soon!" Luo Xiaojuan also said.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
After a while, Qian Baoguo and Yang Zhiqiang walked in one after another.
When Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan saw the person, they quickly told them their tasks, asking them to go outside to chop wood and light a fire in the kitchen.
After lighting the fire, Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan gave them new tasks.
With so many children at home, there are obviously not enough vegetables, meat, and bowls and chopsticks. Qian Baoguo and Yang Zhiqiang are responsible for buying things from non-staple food stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.
Just as the two were about to set off, Chen Yue seemed to suddenly remember something and asked strangely, "Why are you two alone? Isn't Captain Lu back?"
When Lu Yunzheng was mentioned, Yang Zhiqiang and Qian Baoguo's eyes couldn't help but fall on Xu Wantang, with a trace of sympathy in their eyes.
"I do not know!"
"I don't know either……"
The two replied.
Xu Wantang didn't care at all where Lu Yunzheng went. If he was at home, he would eat more of his food. If he was not at home, he would eat less. In the final analysis, there was no difference.
The next second, the children in the room burst into exclamations.
"Wow! So many things!"
"Is it delicious?"
Several children lay beside the bed and said.
The adults followed the sound and saw Lu Yunzheng entering the yard and walking towards the house, carrying many things in his hands...
