"Please help me pay more attention, no matter how much money you have," Lu Yunzheng said.
The person on the other side was obviously choked by Lu Yunzheng's words, "No, it's just a little book, isn't it?"
Lu Yunzheng: "As for it, my wife wants to see it."
Lao Meng, who was on the opposite side, cursed, "I told you, Captain Lu, I wouldn't have led you to bully a bachelor like this!"
Then he asked, "Then how can I give it to you?"
"I'll give you the address and send it to me. You can help me with the money first, and I'll mail it to you together." Lu Yunzheng said.
"There's no such thing as money between buddies. Treat me to dinner next time you go back to City B!"
"Okay, see you in City B."
After Lu Yunzheng hung up the phone, he jumped back to his original position on one leg. He glanced at the door from time to time, eagerly waiting for Xu Wantang to come back.
Xu Wantang came back in the evening. She first helped Lu Yunzheng and sent him to the bathroom door.
After Lu Yunzheng finished washing, he helped him to the bedside, and the task was successfully completed.
After Xu Wantang washed himself, he went into the room to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Xu Wantang went to work as usual, but today it was not Lu Yunzheng who picked him up, but Xiao Xu.
When he returned home at noon, Xu Wantang saw two familiar figures, one large and one small, at the door.
"Sister Chen Yue! You're back!" Xu Wantang was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted her.
"Hello, Sister Tang." Guoguo was not as energetic as usual. She said hello to Xu Wantang and rubbed her eyes.
It had only been a day since they had seen each other, and Chen Yue already had dark circles under his eyes, and his whole person seemed to have no energy.
"I'm back, but I have to leave again soon." Chen Yue's voice was filled with a strong sense of exhaustion.
"Then come in and talk?" Xu Wantang asked.
Chen Yue hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and finally nodded.
Xu Wantang took the lunch meal from Xiao Xu and entered the house with Chen Yue and Guo Guo.
When Xu Wantang came in with Chen Yue and Guoguo, he saw Lu Yunzheng reading comics on the bed.
Facing Chen Yue's surprised look, Xu Wantang explained, "He sprained his foot and is resting at home these days."
Chen Yue nodded and glanced in Lu Yunzheng's direction, as if to remember this surprising scene.
The painting style of the comic strips all over the bed looked very inconsistent with Lu Yunzheng's temperament. Even Guoguo couldn't help but say, "Uncle Lu, you are so childish. You love reading little people's books as much as I do."
Lu Yunzheng looked away uncomfortably, pretending not to hear what Guo Guo said.
Xu Wantang was also shot while lying down.
Why is it childish to love reading comic books?
There are illustrations and stories, so beautiful!
Xu Wantang patted Guoguo's little head as if to vent his anger.
Xu Wantang made a cup of milk powder for Guoguo and a cup of tea for Chen Yue.
After a long while, Chen Yue clenched the teacup with her hands and said with some embarrassment, "Sister, my mother is sick. I have to take care of her for a while. If I take care of the child, the child will also suffer like the adults, so... Guoguo I want to leave it to you for a few days, do you think that’s okay?”
Xu Wantang agreed happily without hesitation, "Of course, Guoguo can live here with me, as long as she wants."
They lived next to each other, Chen Yue had a good relationship with her, and Guo Guo was cute and obedient. Xu Wantang had no reason not to agree.
"It just so happens that Lu Yunzheng has to recuperate at home during this period. Lu Yunzheng can also help take care of him when I'm not around." Xu Wantang said.
Guoguo held the cup with both hands and took a sip of milk. She licked the milk stains on her lips with her little tongue and said in a milky voice, "I can also help take care of Uncle Lu!"
Chen Yue touched Guo Guo's head, "Then when the situation at grandma's side gets better, mom will come to pick you up, okay?"
Guoguo nodded vigorously, her braid shaking, "Okay, mom, I will be good."
Chen Yue said, "Okay."
Immediately, the circles under his eyes became a little red.
While Chen Yue was drinking tea, her eyes kept falling on Xu Wantang from time to time, as if he was hesitant to speak.
In fact, when Chen Yue came to Xu Wantang this time, in addition to entrusting Xu Wantang to take care of Guoguo for a period of time, Chen Yue also wanted to borrow some money.
She and Yang Zhiqiang have always been the main source of income for both her husband's and natal families.
Yang Zhiqiang's military rank and grade are not that high, and his monthly salary is about the same as that of a mid-level factory worker.
Before this year, Yang Zhiqiang's father, her father-in-law, fell ill and spent a lot of money.
Now, her mother is sick again. This disease cannot be cured overnight and requires long-term treatment.
Although Yang Zhiqiang's salary is relatively high compared to ordinary people, after these two experiences, the family's wealth will definitely be exhausted in a short time.
Chen Yue originally wanted to borrow money from Sister Wan Tang. Sister Wan Tang has no children now. Captain Lu's salary is high, and Sister Wan Tang still has a job. Compared with Sister Xiaojuan, Sister Wan Tang is a better candidate.
But when the words came to her lips, Chen Yue couldn't say them out no matter what.
Seeing that the tea in the cup was about to bottom out, Chen Yue sighed, "Then I'll leave first, sister, I'll leave Guoguo to you."
"Eh? Sister Chen Yue, wait a minute." Xu Wantang said, "A few days ago, my friend sent some pastries from City B. I'll give you some so that you can cushion them if you're hungry."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Yue to speak, she turned around and entered the bedroom.
Chen Yue had no time to stop her, so she had to sit on the chair and wait.
While waiting, she didn't forget to tell Guoguo to be good at Sister Tang's house, and Guoguo kept nodding obediently.
After a while, Xu Wantang came out of the room with half a bag of pastries in his hand. The outermost part was covered with a net bag, and the inside was the paper wrapping the pastries.
"Eat it yourself! Don't give it to others, not even a piece, otherwise I will be angry with you!" Xu Wantang said.
A smile finally appeared on the always lively Chen Yue's face.
After thanking her, she took over, handed Guoguo's clothes and daily necessities to Xu Wantang, and then left.
Not long after, Chen Yue got on the ship bound for land.
On the boat, Chen Yuehou realized that she hadn't eaten yet, so she took out the cakes from the net bag and planned to eat them together.
Peeling off the paper package, there was a piece of fragrant pastry inside. Chen Yue ate a piece. She had been hungry for a long time and had a lot of things in her stomach. She was even hungrier than before.
Chen Yue took apart another piece and was about to put it in her mouth when she realized that the feel of this pastry was not right...
Chen Yue's eyes were fixed on her own hand, and she saw what kind of cakes were in this paper bag? But cash!
It turns out that Miss Wan Tang saw it.
Tears rolled in Chen Yue's eyes, and finally fell down. She cried and laughed for a long time.
