Lu Cheng gave Lu Haici a bath, wiped his body casually, and carried him back to the room. However, the moment he opened the door, the cleanliness of the room made his eyes flicker slightly. But it seemed that with the clothes drying in the yard as a prelude, the cleanliness inside was not so surprising.
Lu Cheng put Lu Haici in the bed, and brought him some clean clothes, which he quickly put on. It had been almost a year since he brought Lu Haici to the army, so he was very familiar with taking care of the little boy's clothes. "You are playing in the bed by yourself." As he said that, he picked up a training suit that he had taken from the bed and prepared to put it on the small bed. He didn't remember when he put this clothes in the bed. Was it the clothes he hurriedly changed before going on a mission half a month ago? Or was it the clothes he threw in the bed in a hurry when he returned to his aunt's house from the army a month and a half ago
"Dad, these are the clothes Mom will wear to sleep, don't move." Lu Haici said hurriedly.
Uh... Lu Cheng couldn't take it or put it down. Lin Qingqing wore his clothes to sleep? Thinking of the passionate pursuit of him by this girl when they just met, and the conditions she proposed to marry him later, if she wore his clothes to sleep, it was possible that she was thinking of him.
Lu Cheng was a little embarrassed, and what was even more embarrassing was the fragrance coming from his clothes. He didn't notice it when Lu Haici didn't remind him. After Lu Haici reminded him, he felt that the fragrance on his clothes was getting stronger and stronger.
"Hmm..." Lu Cheng pretended not to hear his son's words. He calmly put down his clothes and left the room. However, as soon as he left the room, he saw Lin Qingqing coming in. She was holding a washing basin. In the washing basin were her underwear after taking a bath. She was still wearing the same clothes she wore during the day, a white floral shirt and black trousers. Perhaps seeing the underwear of a lesbian made Lu Cheng a little embarrassed, "You... have you finished taking a bath?"
Lin Qingqing was also a little embarrassed. She was only in her twenties before she transmigrated into the book. Of course, she would feel embarrassed if a man saw her underwear. "Well, okay, you can go wash it now."
Lu Cheng hurriedly said, "I'll go right away." Then he went out as if he was escaping.
"Ah..." Lin Qingqing also sighed. Living with a strange man was more uncomfortable than she had imagined.
In the room, Lu Haici was lying obediently, waiting for his mother to come and tell him a bedtime story. When he heard a noise at the door, he turned around and said, "Mom, you're here." He said in a loud voice. The voice was so loud that Lu Cheng, who was drinking cold water outside, could hear it.
"Coming." Lin responded softly.
"Mom, Dad wanted to take away the clothes you wear to sleep just now." Lu Haici told tales in an attempt to get his mother to praise him more, "But I told Dad, this is the clothes Mom will wear to sleep." He also pointed at **'s army green training suit.
Phew... Lu Cheng, who was drinking boiled water outside, choked.
Lin Qingqing's legs went weak and she almost fainted.
Speaking of wearing Lu Cheng's training suit when taking a shower last night, it was not her fault, but the original owner's fault. The original owner stayed at home for half a month without a single clean piece of clothing. She really couldn't bear to take the original owner's pajamas that had not been washed for half a month, so she took Lu Cheng's training suit. Moreover, Lu Cheng's training suit was a short cotton T-shirt, which was very suitable for pajamas. Besides, her body was only 163 cm tall, and Lu Cheng was about 183 cm tall. This T-shirt just reached her thighs, which was even more suitable for pajamas.
Lin Qingqing was just taking a break last night, she didn't expect Lu Cheng to come back so soon. When she took her clothes before taking a shower today, she only took her underwear**, she didn't expect this dress, now it's too late to destroy the body. Besides, she washed the original owner's pajamas in the afternoon and they are not dry yet, she doesn't have pajamas to wear now, and she has to wear Lu Cheng's training clothes at night, so...
Lin Qingqing really wanted to cover Lu Haici's mouth with a Band-Aid.
"Mom...what's wrong with you?" Seeing his mother looking at him with a very strange look, Lu Haici asked innocently.
Lin Qingqing said: "It's okay, you go to sleep first, I'll go out for a while."
"Hey." Lu Haici lay down obediently, and lay very straight, "I'll wait for mom to sleep together."
Lin Qingqing wanted to say: Thank you, don’t wait any longer.
Lin Qingqing walked out of the room and saw Lu Cheng standing in the yard with his back to the hall. She walked over awkwardly: "Lu Cheng..." Because she was nervous and a little embarrassed, her voice was lower and softer than usual.
Lu Cheng's ears moved. It was the first time he heard her call his name since he came back from the mission. Unlike the confident voice before, the voice now sounded a little coquettish. Lu Cheng subconsciously took another sip of water, and the water gurgled down, and the sexy Adam's apple slid along with it. "Hmm?" Lu Cheng turned around.
"Um..." Lin Qingqing looked at him, her face a little red, "I was sick for half a month, so I didn't have enough clothes to change at home, so I used your training clothes as pajamas. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. You can keep wearing this outfit. I have several training suits. If you want new ones, you can." Lu Cheng said. After thinking for a while, Lu Cheng said in a serious tone, "We are husband and wife. There is no need for husband and wife to feel embarrassed about this kind of thing."
"Yeah." Lin smiled gently. What else could she say? She traveled through the book after replying to a fan's message. She just replied with the four words "looking forward to traveling through the book", but... As for the original owner, she had a vague feeling that she might have died of the fever that day. But what about herself? Can she go back
Lin Qingqing's mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure out the reason at all.
"What's wrong?" Lu Cheng asked when he saw her frowning.
"No, no." Lin Qingqing said hurriedly, "Then I'll go tell Haici a bedtime story." After saying that, she went in as if escaping.
Lu Cheng thought, she is really different from before marriage, before marriage she was very forward-looking, after marriage she became more reserved. However, Lu Cheng did not think much about it, tomorrow he had to make up for the things missing at home, and also buy the materials for the small house that Lin Qingqing wanted to improve, so he had to write the task report for this mission tonight.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng stopped turning the soil and followed him into the house.
Lin Qingqing had just climbed onto the bed, and Lu Haici lay obediently in her arms, listening to her bedtime story.
Lin Qingqing's bedtime story is "Journey to the West". "Journey to the West" is very long, very impressive, and very easy to tell. "Once upon a time, there was a stone, it suddenly broke, and a monkey jumped out of the stone..."
Lu Cheng opened the door and heard these words.
Lin Qingqing stopped telling the story and looked at Lu Cheng who was standing at the door.
Lu Haici also looked at his father and asked innocently, "Dad, are you here to listen to mom's bedtime story too?"
Lu Cheng ignored his son's words. He looked at Lin Qingqing and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'm going to work in the army later. I may be back late at night. You don't have to wait for me."
Lin Qingqing, who had not planned to wait for him in the first place, immediately gave him a bright smile when she heard this and encouraged him, "Work is important, you don't have to worry about us." That was great. She had been embarrassed about sleeping in the same bed with Lu Haici later. Although she planned to let Lu Haici sleep in the middle, it was still a little awkward. Now it's better. Maybe when Lu Cheng comes back, she will have fallen asleep.
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows. Did he hear it wrong? Why did he hear her sigh of relief? "Yeah." Lu Cheng didn't think much about it. He nodded and went to the small ** to take out his change of clothes.
After taking a shower, Lu Cheng did not go back into the room, but went directly to the army.
In the room, Lin Qingqing didn't know what time the story ended. The big and small heads were close to each other and they were already fast asleep. However, Lin Qingqing's sleep was not peaceful. She seemed to have returned to the modern times, back to the home where only she and her grandmother lived. The strange thing was that there were many wreaths at the gate of the family compound, and there were many people inside, it was very lively.
Lin Qingqing walked in curiously. She saw an acquaintance walking towards her. It was an old sister from when her grandmother was alive. Lin Qingqing called out, "Grandma Qi..."
But Grandma Qi walked past her without paying any attention to her.
Lin frowned slightly. What was going on? She continued to walk forward. Then, she met many acquaintances one after another, including her grandparents, her aunt, and even her sister. But like Grandma Qi, no one paid any attention to her.
Lin Qingqing had a bad feeling. There were wreaths placed at the door of her house, and these people appeared in her house again. Could it be that... her father or her mother died
Although Lin Qingqing had little affection for her parents, they were her biological parents after all. When she thought that one of them might have passed away, she rushed into the house. As a result, she saw her mother lying next to a coffin and crying.
Lin Qingqing's eyes suddenly turned red, her father had passed away.
"Wife, go eat something first. Qingqing's spirit in heaven wouldn't want to see you like this." As a result, before Lin Qingqing could go over, she heard her father's voice coming from the side, and then she saw her father walking towards her with a sad face.
She... what did she hear? Her father said Qingqing is in heaven... What does Qingqing is in heaven mean
Lin Qingqing ran over suddenly... She stared at the girl lying in the coffin in amazement. The girl looked exactly like her. How could she be mistaken for the face she had seen for more than 20 years? More importantly, she was wearing a white dress that she liked very much. The dress was made by Miumiu and she spent more than 20,000 yuan on it.
No, no, no, Lin shook her head gently. She must be dreaming. How could she be dead? How could she be dead
Suddenly, Lin Qingqing opened her eyes, and she stared at the ceiling in a daze... until she felt a warm sensation in her arms, she came back to her senses, and lowered her eyes to look at Lu Haici lying in her arms. She... was dreaming. Lin Qingqing hugged Lu Haici tightly, and only the warm and soft touch from the little cub in her arms made her feel a little bit real.
Why did she have such a dream? Was she...really dead? She didn't know why, but she had a vague feeling that she was really dead and could not go back.
Alas... Lin sighed again. Her parents were not close, so let them die. They gave birth to her, and the millions of savings she left behind were her filial piety and retirement money. She had repaid their kindness. I hope that with my sister around, they won't be too sad.
Lin Qingqing hugged Lu Haici tighter.
"Mom..." Perhaps Lin Qingqing hugged him too tightly, making Lu Haici a little uncomfortable, and he opened his eyes dazedly. But when he saw his mother hugging him, Lu Haici closed his eyes happily again.
Lu Cheng worked until very late. When he finished his work, he looked at his watch and it was already one o'clock in the morning. He quickly sealed the document and locked it in the drawer. Then he stretched his limbs and walked towards the family compound.
Before reaching the door of his house, Lu Cheng saw the lights of the house from afar. The dim light seemed to shine into his heart, making the somewhat chilly night warm.
Lu Cheng's parents were married as children and were old friends. However, Lu Cheng knew from a young age that there was no harmony between his parents. For example, his mother loved his father very much, but his father did not love his mother. His father even stayed away from home for many years because of work. Later, his father came back and told his mother that he wanted a divorce because he fell in love with someone else.
The mother was not a weak person. She could persist in waiting when her father did not love her because he did not have a lover. But now that his father told her that he had a lover, the mother did not want to persist. When he was still young, the mother said, "I do not want to love a man who loves another woman in his heart. This is unfair to me."
The only two conditions that my mother agreed to divorce my father were to take Lu Cheng away and all of my father's current property. My father probably felt guilty, so he agreed to my mother's request.
However, not long after his mother and father divorced, his mother fell ill. At this time, his grandparents had passed away. Although his uncle and aunt were still alive, his mother entrusted him to his aunt.
My aunt was a strong and opinionated woman. She and my uncle were in a rare free love relationship in that era. Of course, because of their inappropriate social status, they did not receive the approval and blessing of my grandparents. According to my aunt, when she got married, only my mother sent her off. However, even if only my mother sent her off, it was enough for her to gain a firm foothold in her husband's family.
When Lu Cheng was entrusted to his aunt by his mother, he was welcomed by her in-laws. Indeed, Lu Cheng had lived a good life in his aunt's house. His aunt loved him as her own son, and his uncle was also an honest man. As for his uncle's relatives, they were even more polite to him because of the inheritance left by his mother.
However, Lu Cheng always felt that he was a homeless person after his mother passed away.
In 1956, Lu Cheng graduated from the military academy and reported directly to the army. College students like him who graduated from the military academy had military status and had to report to the army. After arriving at the army, he started as a deputy battalion commander. Two years later, in 1958, he was promoted to battalion commander for his great merit. Another three years later, in 1961, he was promoted to deputy regiment commander.
Lu Cheng worked very hard when he was on a mission, because there was nothing in the world worth keeping, so he dedicated his life to the motherland. Later, with Lu Haici, he became more cautious when he was on a mission, because he had something to worry about. But even so, he never had a home in his heart. No one had ever left a light on for him.
Until this moment, he walked to the front of the yard and saw the dim yellow light in the hall.
It was not dark yet when he finished taking a shower and left, so the lights in the hall were not on, so the lights at this moment must have been turned on by Lin Qingqing.
Lu Cheng pushed open the door and walked into the hall quietly. The lights of this era were not as bright as those of later generations. The light from the bulbs was still a little yellow, but it still illuminated Lu Cheng's heart. When he walked to the door, his movements were even quieter. He pushed open the door, and the room was dark, but with the light from the hall, he could see inside.
Lu Cheng turned on the light gently, not because he wanted to wake up the sleeping mother and son, but if he didn't turn on the light and went in in the dark, if the people inside woke up, they would be scared to death.
However, the moment the light was turned on, the ** scene was clear at a glance. Two people who were not related by blood and had only known each other for less than a month, slept in each other's arms. The younger one lay in the older one's arms, leaning on him, with his hair tilted up. The older one hugged the younger one tightly, with his whole face buried in the younger one's hair.
What hit Lu Cheng's heart even more was that Lin Qingqing was still wearing his training suit.
Lu Cheng's heart was suddenly filled. This was a scene he would never have thought of half a month ago. Even half a month ago, when Lu Haici asked him: Dad, is my stepmother my mother? He didn't dare to answer no, for fear of hurting the child. But now, he was extremely glad that he answered firmly at that time.
Looking at the way they hug each other, who can say they are not mother and son
Lu Cheng really didn't expect that this girl who was rejected by him but still forced him to marry under such conditions would be so good to Lu Haici. At this moment, he thought of his mother again. His mother told him when he was young that the greatest sorrow of a woman is to like a man who doesn't like her. So, Lin Qingqing likes him who doesn't like her, does she also feel sad
My mother also told me when I was young that a woman can like a man who doesn’t like her, but she must never like a man who has another woman in his heart. That would be unfair to her.
That's why my mother agreed to divorce at that time, and she rationally proposed the most favorable conditions for herself, children and wealth.
At this moment, Lu Cheng didn't want Lin Qingqing to feel sad. He thought that maybe they could give it a try. Maybe marriage wasn't as bad as he imagined.
He turned off the lights in the hall first, then came to the bedroom. There was also a switch on the wall next to the bed. After he lay down, he stretched out his long hand and turned it off. Listening to the even breathing of the two people beside him, Lu Cheng fell asleep quickly.
the next day
call…
Lin Qingqing opened her eyes at the wake-up call and yawned. The army wake-up call was at 6:30 every day, and she didn't expect to sleep until 6:30 today. You know, she woke up before 6 o'clock yesterday. Lin Qingqing raised her head and looked to one side, feeling relieved. Although there were signs of sleep on that side, it was empty now. Lu Cheng had already gotten up.
That's great, it avoids embarrassment.
Lin Qingqing didn't know yet that Lu Cheng had decided to live a good life with her.
Lin Qingqing got up carefully to avoid waking up the silly baby. She changed into her own clothes and walked out of the room. In order to save time, she planned to wash up while making breakfast, so she went to the kitchen first.
For breakfast, she planned to make wheat rolls and sweet potato porridge, which are Ninghai's specialties. In fact, she decided to make wheat rolls and sweet potato porridge because she didn't have enough dough to make vegetable dumplings.
So, Lin Qingqing first lit the stove with the iron pot. After the fire was burning, she added water to the iron pot. Then she took out two sweet potatoes, peeled them, and cut them into small pieces. Then she put them into the iron pot. After that, she washed half a bowl of rice and poured it into the iron pot.
In fact, sweet potato porridge contains sweet potatoes and glutinous rice. The porridge cooked in this way has a sticky texture, but there is no glutinous rice at home, so I can only use ordinary rice.
The sweet potato porridge was not cooked that quickly, so Lin Qingqing went to wash up while waiting. After washing up, she drank a cup of warm water, applied some facial cream, and then went to make wheat rolls.
The ingredients for the wheat rolls are dough, potato shreds, cucumber shreds, and egg shreds. Lin Qingqing first made pancakes with the dough left over from yesterday. The day before yesterday, she found a dough stick at home, probably left by Aunt Lu Cheng. Then she washed the potatoes, cut them into shreds, and fried them in a clay pot.
After frying the potato shreds, she used the flat bottom of the clay pot to make an omelet, then cut the omelet into shreds. Finally, she used the flat bottom of the clay pot to make a noodle pancake.
In fact, the flat bottom of a clay pot is quite convenient to use, because the material of the clay pot will not stick to the bottom.
Lin Qingqing made the pancakes, put the potato, egg and cucumber shreds in the pancakes, rolled them up and cut them in two. She made five pancakes in total, and after cutting them, there were ten wheat rolls. However, her wheat rolls were not as big as the Ninghai wheat rolls of later generations, because they were limited by the size of the flat bottom of the clay pot.
Just as I finished cutting ten rolls of wheat rolls, a voice came from the door: "Do you need my help?"
Hearing Lu Cheng's voice, Lin Qingqing turned back and said, "No, it's time to eat. Go wake Haici up." Lu Cheng is responsible for all her expenses, so she has to be diligent. Moreover, she likes to cook. More importantly, because she likes food, Lin Qingqing doesn't like to have someone around her when she is cooking. In the past, when she and her grandmother cooked live together, they also divided the work and cooperated.
"Okay." In fact, Lu Cheng didn't know how to get along with Lin Qingqing. Although he wanted to try to live a good life with her, he didn't know where to start for a moment.
Lu Cheng went to wake Lu Haici up, and Lin Qingqing also brought the prepared wheat rolls into the living room.
Eh? Lin Qingqing felt something was wrong. Suddenly, she remembered that she only washed clothes yesterday. There should be some changed sheets and quilts in the corner of the living room. "Lu Cheng, where are the sheets and quilts I put in the corner?"
Lu Chengzheng picked up Lu Haici. When he heard her words, his ears turned red and he said nervously, "I washed it." He has been independent since he was a child. He has washed his clothes, sheets and quilts by himself since he was 18 years old. So he didn't have the idea of leaving housework to women. In fact, Lin Qingqing was sick for half a month and survived. He felt very ashamed. Besides, since he decided to give it a try, he naturally had to show it.
Lin Qingqing was immediately happy when she heard it, "Really? Thank you so much." Oh my god, the bed sheets and quilt covers were washed, isn't that great? However, she was also worried that the man didn't wash the clothes properly, so she went out to check, and the result... Her face also turned red. She stared blankly at her underwear ** drying in the bed sheets and quilt covers... so eye-catching. Oh, there was also Lu Cheng's vest and ** next to it.
Boom boom boom… Lin Qingqing felt her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her body. If someone asked her what it felt like when a man gave her sex for the first time, she would definitely say, I want to crawl into a hole in the ground.
Lin Qingqing blushed and walked into the kitchen with a blank mind. As for whether the sheets and quilt covers were clean, she didn't want to check. She didn't even want to check whether her underwear was clean.
Lin Qingqing felt that she probably would not wear the underwear that had been washed by Lu Cheng, because just thinking about it made her feel hot all over.
"Mom... I'm here..." Lu Haici skipped into the kitchen, "Mom, I got up late today and didn't do any housework. I'll wash the dishes later." The little guy is very good at expressing himself.
Lin Qingqing came back to her senses and gave him an appreciative look: "Hai Ci is so good, I'll leave the dishes to you later." Her eyes unexpectedly met Lu Cheng, and when she met his eyes, her heartbeat accelerated again, and she immediately looked away.
"Yeah." Lu Haici responded loudly. Then he looked at his father who was following him. He felt that his father was so lazy that he would not take the initiative to help his mother. No wonder his mother did not even look at him. He walked to his mother and continued to praise her, "Mom, you are really good. I can already smell the fragrant cakes on the table. They must be delicious." He was not as stupid as his father.
Lin gently rubbed his head: "Then you should eat more later. I have sweet potato porridge here. It's also ready. You can have a bowl later."
"Well, I will definitely eat more. I will eat more than my dad." Lu Haici promised. He thought, this way my mother will know that he likes her more than my dad.
Eating more of her food is a sign that you like her. This is what the little one came up with.
Lu Cheng stepped forward and picked him up from behind: "Want to eat more than me? You can wait another twenty years." This bastard is only five years old, and he dares to say something that implies him. Does he think he doesn't understand? He has been living under someone else's roof since he was a child. If he can't even understand this, he might as well call this bastard dad.
