The braised food prepared by Yu Xiuyao and others has been prepared, but it is not placed at Yu Xiuyao's house. Yu Xiuyao is not stupid. If the braised food from several families is placed together, it would be hard to tell if there is a problem with the food made by one family. So Yu Xiuyao placed the braised food at each family's house and waited for Lin Qingqing to come and check it.
Lin Qingqing checked each store one by one and found no problems. She also tried them and found that they tasted good, which meant that the seasoning she used had not been tampered with.
"The braised food is fine. I'll take it first. As for the remaining sauce after the sauce is collected, sisters-in-law can keep it for themselves. You can stir-fry it with vegetables tomorrow. It has oil content and is very fragrant." Lin Qingqing is not a stingy person. As long as everyone cooks well, the remaining sauce will be given to everyone. The sauce is not only delicious for cooking, but also delicious for mixing with rice. Some people like to mix the sauce with rice.
In this era when less than a pound of oil is used in a month, marinade is indeed a rare thing that contains oil.
The braised food collected from the three families was directly placed at Yu Xiuyao’s house, because Yu Xiuyao and Cui’s sister-in-law were going to deliver the goods tomorrow morning.
After checking the stewed food, he returned home. It was already eight o'clock and it was getting late. Lu Haici yawned and felt a little sleepy.
Lin Qingqing said: "Lu Cheng, use the hot water in the kettle to give Hai Ci a bath first, I'll go boil some hot water."
"Okay." Lu Cheng didn't even make soap bubbles for Lu Haici, but just rinsed him with water. He used soap every day, so the little cub was very clean. Before the bath was over, Lu Haici couldn't open his eyes. Seeing this, Lu Cheng put him directly on the crib.
Maybe the kid was really sleepy and didn't even notice he was lying on the bed.
By the time Lu Cheng left, the pot of water that Lin Qingqing had boiled had also heated up.
Lu Cheng: "You go take a shower, I'll take it next. I don't use hot water, I use cold water." He not only uses cold water to wash in summer, but also in winter. It's just that he used it because he saw that she supported taking hot water showers these days.
Lin Qingqing: "Okay, I'll go wash first."
Lin Qingqing took a quick shower. After the last incident with the electric fan blowing her hair, she would not wash her hair at night now, and would rather get up earlier in the morning. Last time, it was because it was her first day at work, so she wanted to dress herself up.
After Lin Qingqing finished taking a shower and drying her clothes, the water that Lu Cheng had boiled had not yet turned on. Lin Qingqing came to the kitchen door: "Lu Cheng, I'm done. I'll turn on the fire. You go take a shower." There was no light on in the kitchen because the fire was bright.
Lu Cheng stood up and walked to the kitchen door.
Lin Qingqing saw him coming out and stood up to make way for him, but Lu Cheng didn't walk away. He stood opposite her and looked at her, his eyes were not as sharp as they were during the day, and even had a bit of grievance: "I want to talk to you."
Because it was night, even with the moonlight outside and the firelight in the kitchen, Lin Qingqing couldn't see his eyes clearly. However, she could hear some ignorance in his voice, which was probably the sensitivity of people who were more sensitive since childhood. "Why don't you take a shower first, and then talk after you're done?" This face-to-face zero distance made her a little uncomfortable. After he finished showering, they talked privately, with Lu Haici in the middle, and she felt a little safe.
Oh my god, she actually had to rely on Lu Haici to feel safe. If Lu Haici knew about this, he would be furious.
"Okay." Seeing that she was willing to talk to him, Lu Cheng took some water and went to take a shower.
After Lin Qingqing saw her take a shower, she immediately went to the stove and poured half of the water in the pot into the thermos. After all, it was the water for washing her face tomorrow, so it didn't need to be boiled. And there wasn't much water left, so it could boil quickly.
Lin Qingqing did this because she knew Lu Cheng took a quick shower, so she had to fill the water before Lu Cheng finished his shower.
But today, Lin Qingqing guessed wrong, Lu Cheng didn't take a shower quickly.
Lu Cheng felt that they had to have a good talk in the evening, and he wanted to clean himself up with a sense of ritual. Anyway, he couldn't let her have a bad impression.
Lin Qingqing waited for the water in the pot to boil and poured it into the thermos. When Lu Cheng didn't come out, she breathed a sigh of relief and went into the room immediately. But when she entered the room, she was stunned. Where is Lu Haici... Why is Lu Haici sleeping in the small room
The only person who could put Lu Haici in the small bed was Lu Cheng. But when Lin Qingqing thought of Lu Cheng doing this, she was speechless. So, Lin Qingqing went to the small bed again and carried Lu Haici to the big bed. Fortunately, Lu Haici was only five years old and not fat, otherwise she really couldn't carry him.
Lu Haici was sleeping soundly. He felt someone hugging him in a daze. He smelled a familiar scent, but did not open his eyes. He just leaned into Lin Qingqing's arms and continued to sleep.
Lin Qingqing put Lu Haici on the bed, climbed in, and lay down as well.
When Lu Cheng came in after taking a shower, he saw Lin Qingqing and Lu Haici sleeping together. He: "..." He was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his voice, "Why is he sleeping here? Before..." He put the crib in place by himself, but he couldn't say, "Didn't you say you wanted to sleep in the crib before going to bed?"
Lin Qingqing didn't believe him. Seeing that he lied without changing his expression, she said calmly: "I don't know either. He slept here when I came. Did he sleep in the small bed before? But doesn't he always like to sleep in the big bed? Why does he suddenly want to sleep in the small bed today?"
Lu Cheng: "... I don't know either. Maybe I got too hot in the middle of the night and went to the crib, so I thought it was more comfortable."
It would have been fine if Lu Cheng hadn't mentioned this, but once he did, Lin Qingqing understood everything. It turned out that Lu Cheng had carried Lu Haici to the crib yesterday. She actually thought that Lu Haici went to sleep on his own, and even Lu Haici himself thought that he had wet the bed, so he was carried to the crib.
This man... is so bad.
But he...
"He will definitely feel hot in the middle of the night. Let me carry him over." Lu Cheng continued to lie with his eyes open. "Also, he is five years old. It's time for him to learn to sleep by himself. Let him sleep in the crib for a few days, and then let him sleep in another room after a few days." Lu Cheng suddenly remembered something. Lin Qingqing had never taken the initiative to mention the bridal chamber. Maybe she was not angry with him, but because with that little bastard Lu Haici around, they couldn't have a bridal chamber at all.
Lin Qingqing knew Lu Cheng's intention, so she would never let him do what he wanted. This man wanted to sleep alone with her in bed. What if something unexpected happened? When she thought of this, her heartbeat quickened. So she quickly held Lu Haici and said, "Forget it today. It's disrespectful to just carry him over like this. We have to learn to respect him. Even if he is only five years old, he still has dignity."
Lu Cheng: "..." Why didn't he understand a word Lin Qingqing said? Moreover, how could carrying him to the crib be disrespectful to him
Lin Qingqing continued, "Lu Haici has been without a mother since childhood, so he is particularly attached to me. I think this is conducive to cultivating our relationship. You also hope that we have a good relationship, right?"
Lu Cheng: “…” If he doesn’t agree with Lu Haici sleeping on the big bed, does that mean he doesn’t want them to have a good relationship
Lin Qingqing: "Ah, don't you have something to tell me? Or tell me about your story first."
Lu Cheng was helpless. Lin Qingqing had said so. What could he do? If he forced the little bastard to move to the small house, Lin Qingqing would probably think that he was going to bully the little bastard.
Another thing, he also felt Lin Qingqing's nervousness at the moment. From the somewhat awkward words at noon to her somewhat nervous tone now, she was a little confused.
Lu Cheng lay down on the bed, not sleeping properly like he used to, but turned around and faced Lin Qingqing, looking at her slightly drooping eyes, her long eyelashes, and her eyes trembling from time to time.
"You..." Lin Qingqing could feel him looking at her. She said uncomfortably, "Aren't you going to turn off the lights?"
"No hurry." Lu Cheng said slowly. "I have a question for you."
"What's the problem?" Lin Qingqing tried to calm herself down. She knew that some things could not be avoided, and avoiding them would not solve the problem. At noon, she had thought clearly about how to face Lu Cheng in the future, so at this moment, she was not going to escape.
"On our wedding day, I refused the bridal chamber. Are you still angry with me?" Lu Cheng asked. While asking, he stared at her closely, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.
Lin Qingqing: "..." Damn, so serious, so solemn, asking such a question? Comrade, you are being a hooligan. "I'm not angry. Didn't you say that we have to rush back to the army the next day and can't be too tired? This is for my own good, how could I be angry?" Is this the straight male thinking that she can't understand
Lu Cheng was not sure if she was really angry, because he did not understand lesbians. "Well, now that I'm back, why didn't you mention the wedding night again?"
Lin Qingqing: "..." What should she say? Feeling the softness of Lu Haici in her hands, she suddenly thought of a perfect answer, "Because Lu Haici is here, we can't have a wedding night next to him, right?"
Lu Cheng thought, it was really because of this little bastard.
"But Lu Cheng, I also have something to say to you." Lin Qingqing spoke quickly in case Lu Cheng asked when we would have our wedding night. Otherwise, when Lu Cheng asked this question, I felt that I would not know how to answer.
Lu Cheng: "You say."
Lin Qingqing took a deep breath and said, "Lu Cheng, can we have an agreement? Something happened to me, and this thing prevents me from having sex with you... with you."
"Are you sick?" Lu Cheng felt nervous and couldn't help but sound worried.
"No, no." Lin explained gently, "I'm in good health, but I have a reason that I can't tell you, but this reason only happens between you and me, and it won't affect others or the organization. So Lu Cheng, can you give me two years? I will give you a letter tomorrow during the day, but you can only open this letter two years from now. After opening it, you can decide whether to be my revolutionary partner, okay?"
She gave herself two years. If the original owner came back within two years, she would not know where she was by then, so she would not have to think about the details of this world. After reading the letter, Lu Cheng understood why she needed two years. Although leaving the letter might be unfair to the original owner who came back, it would also be unfair to Lu Cheng if she concealed everything and disappeared.
But if the original owner didn't come back within two years, and she still stayed in this world, then... she was willing to be with Lu Cheng, truly together. She didn't want to live alone in this strange world after her grandmother passed away. This was the chance she gave herself.
But now, she couldn't be a real couple with Lu Cheng. Because Lu Cheng was someone else's husband. So, she gave each other two years. After two years, she was still there, just to see how Lu Cheng, who had received the letter, would make a choice.
