Chapter 23 Chapter 23
by Jessie@AFNCCLu Nu was in a state of serious self-doubt, what the hell just happened?
After half a day’s thought, she realized that Pei Shenan didn’t take her move at all, and people won with straightness, and two words successfully intimidated her.
So Pei Shenan is scaring her, right?
Right, right, right, right?
Lu Nu crumpled his face, stopped taking his nap, and felt he needed a drink to drown his sorrows.
Pei’s home has a liquor cabinet, Lu Nong turned over half a day and found that it was all white wine, white wine is too spicy for her taste, Lu Nong had to close the liquor cabinet with disappointment, sighed, “Ugh …… a little sad.”
“What are you worried about?” A ghostly voice sounded behind Lu Nong.
Lu Nu: “……”
“Do you know that scaring people will scare them to death.” Lu Nong said in a more sultry voice than Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng choked, recovered his normal tone and said, “Who let you bury yourself in the wine cooler at noon with only your legs outside, I was also startled by you when I came downstairs, okay?”
“You don’t understand.” Lu Nong stood up, decided to make coffee, alas, anyway, is to pour sorrow, coffee can also be it ……
When Pei Zheng heard Lu Nong say that he didn’t understand, he wasn’t a little kid like Xiao Huai, what didn’t he understand.
“You’re being lectured by the old man, aren’t you?” Pei Zheng gloated and laughed out loud, today Xiao Zhou’s car left half an hour late, which meant that the old man didn’t return to the army immediately after dinner.
Lu Nu gave Pei Zheng a blank stare, telling him to experience it for himself, and then headed for the kitchen.
Pei Zheng followed Lu Nong into the kitchen, watching her take out the odd little glass pot, digging a spoonful of black-brown powder into it, pouring hot water into it, and after a while a mellow flavor slowly escaped from the glass pot.
Pei Zheng recognized that this was coffee, he was not an uninitiated, in the past, curious about what foreigners ate, he deliberately went to a few western restaurants with Shen Jiming and them, and also ordered coffee, but unfortunately, they were Chinese stomachs, and were never accustomed to eating steak with blood and snorting bitter coffee.
I didn’t know that you can make your own coffee at home.
Pei Zheng watched Lu Nong’s skillful movements and thought to himself that his stepmother was a petite, simply out of place in their family.
Lu Nu found the coffee cups and jars that his godmother had brought out from Li Garden from the cupboard and poured the brewed coffee into the coffee pot.
Taking out two coffee cups that came in sets with the coffee pot, he poured a cup for Pei Zheng.
Lu Nu is not the kind of person who can’t live without coffee, compared to coffee, she prefers beer and fat house happy water, but who let there are no these two modern products now?
One can only drink a cup of coffee and talk about it, infinitely closer to the modern way of life.
Pei Zheng drank a mouthful, still very bitter, curious to look at Lu Nong, only to see her drink a mouthful, another mouthful, and then …… “tons and tons and tons” to a whole cup of coffee are dry, and the face does not change color.
And a “good wine” afterward.
Pei Zheng: “…… “Is this the right way to drink coffee?
He lifted the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Lu Nong, then looked down at the brown liquid in the cup, hesitated for a second, and resolutely lifted the cup to follow Lu Nong’s example of “ton ton ton ton”.
Lu Nu: “……”
Lu Nu was dumbfounded, “What are you doing?”
“Cough cough cough …… You don’t say, drinking it like this really doesn’t make it bitter.” Pei Zheng smacked his lips in retrospect, not realizing that coffee, like tea, would return sweetness.
Pei Zheng: “Give me another cup.”
Lu Nu: “…… “Who the hell is pouring out sorrow?
“Don’t drink too much, this stuff stimulates the nerves, if you drink too much you won’t be able to sleep at night, and it’s not a mouthful.” Lu Neng was helpless and poured him another cup.
Pei Zheng had a questioning look on his face, “Then you just now?”
“…… Keep your nose out of the pretty girl’s business!”
Pei Zheng thought of Lu Nu just lying on her back looking for wine in the liquor cabinet and looked at her with a look of wonder, “…… You wouldn’t have dried coffee as wine because you couldn’t drink it, would you?”
The more Pei Zheng thought about it, the more he felt the truth about himself, both despising Lu Nong for not daring to drink real alcohol and annoyed at his own two-foolishness for learning from Lu Nong, so he sarcastically said to her, “Drinking coffee will make you drunk?”
“Hehe, I don’t think so, right?” Lu Neng let out a dry laugh as he was seen through the sand sculpture mentality.
Pei Zheng: “Hmph, coward, isn’t it just being lectured by the old man?”
Lu Nu was speechless, “…… When did I say I was lectured by your father? No no no, put away your brainstorming.”
“What’s a brainstorm?” Pei Zheng didn’t understand, but he could roughly understand what Lu Nu was expressing, “Then what are you worried about?”
Lu Nu: “…… “Can I tell you your dad said to try it tonight little old me?
In fact, she is a bit of marriage phobia, although Lu Nong has been married to Pei Silian, but after all, the two have not yet become a real couple, so far well water in the river water, in Lu Nong’s heart, this model is at best considered a roommate relationship.
But once become a real husband and wife, that can no longer turn around, not to mention that Pei Silk An at first glance is not the type of play can be dumped, more importantly, Lu Nong see marriage as sacred, the marriage in her mind is like aunt and uncle, trust, equality, love and love two unquestionable, both sweet and bitter.
How hard is it really to share the same pain, not to mention trust and equality?
In a few years, it will soon be the decade of the Shoah/Holocaust, and how many loving couples have severed their ties and flown apart in great distress.
In the novel, the original owner died in the first half of the havoc/jacking, she died Pei Silian’s future and then no hang-ups straight up to the clouds, that is to say, although the original owner can safely through the havoc/jacking, but married her Pei Silian is not without a price to pay.
If the original owner lives a few more years, will Pei Jingan still choose his wife between his future and his wife? Even if Pei Jingan chooses his wife, can he really think about it later without complaining?
Lu Nong didn’t want to die so early, so this issue became a problem for Lu Nong and Pei Yin An.
On top of that, there are the three views shaped by different eras, personality differences, habits, etc. They are different everywhere, and everywhere is a mine when you look into it.
To put it mildly, it all boiled down to Lu Nu not being ready.
But there was no way she could tell Pei Zheng about this, so she could only shake her head and sigh, “Ugh ……”
“Could it be that you really do have a gigolo outside?” Pei Zheng guessed in horror.
Here we go again, Lu Nu didn’t hold back and rolled her eyes, “You’re really wasting the imagination in your little head if you don’t go write novels haha.”
“And because of what?”
Pei Zheng pursed his lips, “It’s not because of my mom, is it? That day, my little aunt said ……”
Lu Nong hadn’t thought about this, and was reminded by Pei Zheng, oh yes, there is still thunder here.
She immediately raised her melon eating interest, rolled her eyes and said with a pitiful look, “Are you going to tell me about your parents?”
“They ……” said Pei Zheng.
“Uh-huh.” Lu Nu looked expectant.
No, Pei Zheng just said two words and then stopped, is Lu Nu someone who would show such a pitiful look?
Based on Pei Zheng’s understanding of her, obviously not.
Lying to him again! Pei Zheng cast a sidelong glance at Lu Nong and said neatly, “It’s easy for you to want to know, why don’t we exchange secrets?”
Lu Nong put away his expression, good boy, have learned to fish.
But will she admit defeat? No way, if my sister doesn’t let you know how many eyes the horse king has today, my sister won’t be called Lu!
Lu Nong crossed her arms, “Good, or let’s play a game, ask each other questions, if you don’t want to answer or can’t answer, how about a cup of coffee?”
Heck, don’t blame her for being ruthless when it comes to drinking a bellyful of coffee and running wildly to the bathroom.
I didn’t expect Pei Zheng this kid is not balked, but instead, hands clasped chest, looks very disdainful, said, “OK, but drinking coffee is more meaningless, and will not get drunk, to drink on the wine.”
Lu Nu: “……” You learn bad too fast, right?
“You’re still underage, why are you drinking? Believe it or not, your father will beat you up!” Lu Neng scared him.
“Let’s just say you’re giving up your life, are you playing or not? Are you unable to play?” Pei Zheng stood up straight and said condescendingly.
“……” help, can’t afford to play this kind of word will say, in the end they two who is crossing ah?
“Yeah, come on, who’s afraid of who.” Lu Nu agreed stiffly, red wine beer cocktail mix she can do, white wine should also be possible, right?
Pei Zheng grunted, walked out of the kitchen to open the wine cabinet, took out several bottles of differently decorated wines from it one by one and read them to Lu Nu one by one, “Flying Moutai 53 degrees of original syrup, burnt knives, Jingzhi 62 degrees, Fenjiu Bamboo Leaf Green ……”
Lu Nu staggered, “So much, where did your father get so much wine?”
“A gift from a comrade in arms, my dad’s comrades in arms are all over the sky and every place has local specialty wines, but he usually doesn’t like to drink them, so he saved a bunch by putting them away.”
Pei Zheng finally picked the Flying Moutai wine, he had long wanted to taste this bottle of wine, but let him catch the opportunity.
Lu Nu felt something was wrong, “Your father doesn’t like alcohol, and his comrades are giving it away?”
Pei Zheng glanced at her, “Then have you seen him like anything else?”
Lu Nu: “……” good to know.
Pei Zheng opened the bottle of wine and took out two small wine cups, poured a full cup and asked Lu Nong, “How do you drink if you can’t answer?”
Lu Nu held out a finger.
Pei Zheng: “One cup? OK.”
Lu Nu shook her head, “One bite.”
Pei Zheng looked at her contemptuously, Lu Neng didn’t care, she wasn’t impulsive and brainless, and understood what it meant to live within one’s means.
Lu Nu: “Listen to the rules, the first question must be answered, from the second question onwards refuse to answer take a sip of wine, I’ll start, why did your father divorce your mother?”
Pei Zheng was silent, not expecting Lu Neng to directly ask the key question, and only after a while did he say in a muffled voice, “Because someone is in love with someone else and wants to be free.”
Hiss …… Lu Nong in the heart of this turned a corner, a pondering to understand Pei Zheng words “someone” is his own mother Shen Yimei, the novel did not write to understand, only said that the male protagonist and the relationship with his own mother in general, along with the female protagonist and the mother-in-law can not be close to it, the original truth is surprisingly The truth of the matter is that it is actually like this.
Switching to Pei Zheng’s question, he asked, “How exactly did you meet my father? And how did you marry him?”
Lu Nong also thought that Pei Zheng would ask about whether there was a white boy or not, but did not expect to ask about this, she wondered if Pei Silk An had not even told Pei Zheng where she came from.
“That’s two questions oh figure out exactly which one you want me to answer.”
“The latter.” Pei Zheng said glumly.
Lu Neng shrugged, in fact, these two were a problem, she told Pei Zheng about the former husband husband who entrusted the original owner to Pei Silk An after he died in battle.
Pei Zheng the whole person shocked to live, how did not expect to be like this, he has always thought that Lu Nong and his father between the two is his father took the initiative to look at Lu Nong, only to marry her back, but also wondered how the iron tree suddenly blossomed.
Lu Nu: “My turn, the day your little aunt came, why did your father say he was a country mudblood too?”
Pei Zheng thought for a moment and said, “Maybe my dad was raised in the countryside when he was a child, I heard that during the years of the war my dad was left by his grandparents to be fostered in the old folks’ home, and was only picked up after the liberation and stabilization, but I’m not sure of the specifics.”
These things or he overheard from the elders in the conversation, including his father, including the elders do not tell him at all the former things, he only knew that his father and Uncle Gu as brothers, but also later overheard that his father as a child to live in the hometown of the family is Uncle Gu’s house.
“You …… your ex husband won t be Uncle Gu, right?” When it was Pei Zheng’s turn, he asked hesitantly.
His dad is not a sympathetic person at all, he will take care of his comrade’s child, but will never agree to marry his comrade’s wife such a ridiculous thing, and if he does it can only be because that person is special to Pei Silan.
“Yes. Are your mom and your sister-in-law close?” Lu Nu continued with the previous question.
“It’s very good, my mom my little aunt and Ye Huihui’s mom the three of them used to be the three golden flowers of the compound and best friends.” Pei Zheng took a deep breath, still immersed in the matter of Lu Nong being Uncle Gu’s wife, no wonder he liked little Gu Huai so much.
“Do you love Uncle Gu?” Pei Zheng didn’t know what kind of answer he wanted to hear.
Lu Nu did not say anything lowered her head and took a sip of wine, she had not even seen how Gu Weiguo loved him?
好辣好辣好辣,陆浓忙拿起咖啡喝了一大口,这才缓解辣意。
No, see the rhythm to be taken away by Pei Zheng, Lu Neng hastily asked Pei Zheng a question he absolutely did not dare to face: “Do you like furry things and small soft things ah?”
Pei Zheng: “…… “Fried, you’re ruthless.
He smothered a mouthful of wine and smacked his lips, it is worthy of being Flying Moutai, specially for foreign guests.
“You gave my dad so much tonic soup, do you dislike him?” As for what he disliked, Pei Zheng didn’t say, but knew all about it.
Lu Nong: “……”@Pei Silk An, your good oldest son has fucked up every day and is dying of filial piety.
Lu Nong glanced at Pei Zheng and drank.
Two people you back and forth, the problem is more and more difficult, drink more and more wine, to the end of the afternoon spent slowly and leisurely finish off a whole bottle of Maotai, both drinking on the table.
Lu Nong also thought Pei Zheng how much alcohol, the results did not drink a few cups of people dazed, worse than her, commonly known as the human vegetable addiction is still big, disdainfully laughed and laughed at Pei Zheng, laughed after their own completely on the ground.
In the evening, Wu Ma old lady went downstairs to cook, and saw the living room table one east and one west lying on two alcoholics, full of the smell of alcohol can not be dispersed in the room.
Mrs. Wu: “……”
“Nong?” Wu Ma walked over to Lu Nong and tried to wake her up.
Lu Nu struggled to avoid her, “Don’t, I’m not drunk.”
Wu Ma went to Pei Zheng’s side again, Pei Zheng was sleeping like a dead pig, how could she not wake up.
Wu Ma sighed, she can’t help the two people up the stairs, in case of an accidental fall can be more than worth it, so she can only go to the kitchen to cook the antidote soup first, and wait for Chief Pei to come back to let him think of getting the two people into bed.
After a while, outside the yard came the sound of a car horn “drip drip”, Pei Silk An came back.
Mrs. Wu walked out of the kitchen and exchanged a glance with Pei Yinan.
Pei Jingan rubbed his brow, “What’s going on?”
How could Wu Ma know that, she mumbled her words.
“Let’s help them upstairs first.”
Xiao Zhou saw that Pei Li An’s face was not looking good, lowered his head and hurriedly walked to Pei Zheng’s side and set up his arm to walk upstairs.
The remaining Lu Nong, Wu Ma naturally can not help, Pei Silk An walked to Lu Nong in front of the top of the smell of alcohol, frowned, a pick her up, Lu Nong obviously did not sleep soundly, by Pei Silk An’s action woke up, drunkenly said, “What are you doing? Go away, don’t want you to hug.”
Pei Jingan ignored her and carried her upstairs, placing her on the bedroom bed.
Just touching the bed, Lu Nong leapt up on his heels and sneered at Pei Yinan, “Tie, demon, show me my old grandson’s original form!”
Pei Silian: “……”
