During dinner in the evening, Shi Tingyu told her about her encounter with Aunt Lu today.
Lu Weiguo paused while picking up the food, put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "It's okay. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just refuse."
A smile appeared on Shi Tingyu's lips, "I refused."
Lu Weiguo thought for a while and decided that he still needed to give his wife some advice. Some old ladies were very troublesome and difficult to deal with.
His wife is thin-skinned, and she won't be able to agree if she can't show off her face.
"Next time if you encounter someone who won't give in, just let them look for me. Just say you can't make the decision in everything, just push it on me."
Now Shi Tingyu became interested.
"Can you still deal with those women?"
"Of course I can." Lu Weiguo's voice was slightly lowered.
"Then if Aunt Lu comes looking for you, how will you send her away?"
Lu Weiguo's expression was strange for a moment, and he said, "Just now... Aunt Lu came to see me."
Shi Tingyu raised her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the old lady actually asked Lu Weiguo, "She's not afraid of you?"
"Probably... afraid." Thinking of the old lady's shivering look at that time, Lu Weiguo was not sure.
Shi Tingyu became interested, "Tell me carefully what happened at that time."
Lu Weiguo tried hard to organize his words for a long time and said, "I rejected her."
Shi Tingyu moved her chair towards him, "Expand it for me and explain it carefully."
Lu Weiguo clenched the chopsticks in his hand uncomfortably and told the story of how he met Aunt Lu after class.
When she heard that the other party could save money by asking Aunt Lu's daughter to cook the banquet, she laughed out loud.
Lu Weiguo was puzzled by her smile, "What's wrong? You can't say that?"
"No, no." Shi Tingyu fully affirmed his response to Aunt Lu, "It's very good of you to do this. The knife didn't cut their flesh, and they didn't know the pain. They only knew how uncomfortable it was when it was their turn. "
Lu Weiguo looked at her smiling eyes like crescent moons, and there was a feeling of restlessness in his chest.
It’s true that the knife only hurts when it cuts itself.
When he heard Aunt Lu's words, he felt uncomfortable. Wouldn't the knife fall on him?
Shi Tingyu gave her a piece of food with chopsticks, "This is your reward."
Lu Weiguo looked at the extra vegetables in the bowl with a slightly stunned expression.
Normally, Shi Tingyu rarely picks up food for him. He can clearly see that the only times she picks up food are when she has no use for chopsticks before eating, or she uses serving chopsticks directly.
This was the first time she used her used chopsticks to pick up food for him.
Suddenly, I felt that the invisible barrier between the two of them was lessened.
"Why don't you eat?" Shi Tingyu asked strangely after seeing him not moving for a while.
"Oh, I'll eat it right away." As he said that, Lu Weiguo finished the food she picked up in a few bites.
Shi Tingyu didn't notice the difference at all when he was picking up vegetables.
When she was at her parents' home, she was not one who knew how to pick up food with serving chopsticks.
Unless there are guests.
Although she and Lu Weiguo were married, they had only known each other for a short time, and they were not yet married. They had not even kissed each other, so she subconsciously used serving chopsticks when picking up food.
And she doesn’t pick up food that often.
This time, she followed her heart and didn't think too much, so naturally she didn't find the problem.
But Lu Weiguo discovered that few people in the family now use serving chopsticks. At first, he thought that his wife was a very particular person.
But then he remembered that on the rare occasions when he had dinner with Shi's family, his wife did not use serving chopsticks when picking up food for Shi's family.
So he always cared.
Now that he was suddenly treated like a family member, one can imagine his inner joy.
Shi Tingyu watched him finish the food, then gave him another chopstick, and asked with interest: "I didn't earn those two yuan, do you really have any objection?"
Lu Weiguo glanced at her, his sharp eyebrows lowered, "What are you thinking about? Of course you don't have to do what you don't like to do."
"Don't say two yuan, not even two hundred."
Lu Weiguo said the last sentence quietly, but Shi Tingyu still heard it.
She smiled and said: "If she really gives me two hundred, then I can really do it."
Lu Weiguo glanced at her and saw her rare money-obsessed look, and said warmly: "No, I will give all my salary to you."
Shi Tingyu was a little panicked when he saw her. She touched her earlobe as a sign, coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's eat quickly."
Lu Weiguo nodded and ate quickly.
Because the two of them were quite close, Shi Tingyu's hand holding the chopsticks would always touch Lu Weiguo's arm, but the man just looked at it without any intention of distancing himself.
It wasn't until Shi Tingyu got up after eating that he realized that the two of them were a little close.
She pretended to be calm and sent the dishes to the well, and made excuses for her slow self.
Sure enough, gossip is the most powerful weapon to bring people closer.
Look, we didn’t just chat and chat together.
Lu Weiguo followed Shi Tingyu to the well for his daily dishwashing activities.
Shi Tingyu didn't go back to the house, looking at the sky full of sunset, and from time to time, she would give Lu Weiguo some water for him to wash the dishes.
As he pressed on, Shi Tingyu's mind flew far away.
She said: "Weiguo, it's summer now, and it gets dark late. If it's winter, do we have to run a wire to connect a light in our yard, or we won't be able to see clearly even if we don't wash the dishes."
Lu Weiguo moved very neatly and said while washing the dishes: "Okay, I will do it when the time comes."
It is said that men and women can work together without getting tired. The two of them cooperated and quickly washed the dishes.
After washing the dishes, Lu Weiguo boiled water for Shi Tingyu to take a bath.
There are public bathrooms in their camp, but now that the weather is hot and people have to take baths frequently, they don’t want to wait in line and just wash up at home.
There are many people bathing there in winter.
In order to be able to take a bath at home, Lu Weiguo ordered a bathtub and bath cover for Shi Tingyu.
The bath cover here is stretched out like a mosquito net to cover the bathtub, so the bath will not be so cold.
Shi Tingyu couldn't remember when the bath cover was invented. Anyway, it was either the late 1970s or the early 1980s.
Lu Weiguo went to buy it according to Shi Tingyu's instructions, but he went to many places and couldn't find it. Later, he found someone to customize one according to Shi Tingyu's instructions.
It's just that this is usually used when the weather is cold, but now that it's summer, I don't need it yet.
Sitting in the bathtub, Shi Tingyu took a bath with some restraints, hoping that reform and opening up would come soon, when various commodities would appear one after another, and she would be able to improve her life.
In fact, she can go to space to take a shower.
Even if you don't wash in the Lingquan pool, you can bring a bathtub in and lead the Lingquan water into the tub.
The spiritual spring water itself is warm, and the temperature in the space is just right.
But she didn't dare.
Nowadays, many people take baths by filling a large basin of water and putting it in the sun to heat it up at noon or in the middle of the afternoon.
But she can't.
It's hot now, so even if I take a shower in the middle of the afternoon, I'll be sweating again as soon as dinner is cooked.
I can't go to bed without washing at night.
Shi Tingyu's bathing place was in another room at home.
She washes frequently, and the speed is quite fast. Just when she was about to come out, the light in the room flickered, and two seconds later, the room fell into darkness.
