Chapter 25 Chapter 25
by Jessie@AFNCCLu Nu headache, like to crack, dazed and confused, was helped up, poured a bowl of difficult to drink sober soup, has been humming difficult.
In the dream she was asked, “Where is it hard?”
If you don’t ask, Lu Nong is even more aggravated, babbling, “I have a headache, stomach ache, don’t cover up, it’s hot ……”.
She really felt bad, her head ached badly, her stomach felt like a lump of ice with cold air, but her body was hot, so hot and cold that she wanted to cry, as if she really cried out.
The dreamer coaxed her, “Don’t cry.”
Lu Nu cried even harder, why can’t she cry?
Her forehead was suddenly cold, and she felt much better, and then a big hand was placed on her stomach, slowly rubbing her, and the only bad thing was that the man never let her kick the covers off.
With her headache gone, and her stomach feeling better, Lu Nong stretched her brows and gradually fell asleep.
This sleep she slept directly to the next day at noon, after getting up, her stomach was full of panic, climbed up and ran to the toilet, did not expect to meet Pei Zheng at the door of the toilet.
They looked at each other, and in the next second they both sprang to life, neither of them letting the other squeeze in the doorway of the restroom.
Pei Zheng, relying on his height, stopped Lu Nong with his arm to prevent her from going in, “Let me go first, a stepmother should be a bit of a stepmother.”
Lu Nong held the door handle with both hands, similarly not giving Pei Zheng the chance to open the door, and said angrily, “What ah? Do you know how to respect the old and love the young? I’m old, I should be allowed to go first.”
“I’m still young, you should let me.” Pei Zheng said with a straight face.
Lu Nong despised him and gave him a glance, realizing that this kid was getting more and more shameless, and was too lazy to break up with him, letting go of his hand, “You first you first you first.”
“Hey, that’s right, as you said honoring the old and loving the young is a traditional Chinese virtue …… ” Pei Zheng said smugly.
Lu Nong face black line, she has let, this kid also give her an inch, eyeballs a turn, while Pei Zheng did not pay attention to the flexibility from Pei Zheng arm under the washroom, cleanly closed and locked the door.
Pei Zheng: “……”
“Lu Nu, you’re cheating!” Pei Zheng said through gritted teeth as he slapped the door.
Lu Nong slowly teased him, “Soldiers are not afraid of deception, so you still follow your father to the army every day, and you don’t even understand this.”
“Go away, come back later or go downstairs to the restroom, aren’t you embarrassed standing in the doorway?”
Pei Zheng huffed and walked away, just a few steps before he flew downstairs, he just couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Lu Nu finished urinating, was about to wash his hands, suddenly saw his crimson lips in the mirror, and was shocked, how did it swell again and again?
Did she dream of biting her mouth again?
By the way, I think I had a come-on last night. What happened in the dream?
Lu Nong knocked his head, last night drank to break, not only do not remember what happened after getting drunk, even dreaming about what to forget.
She looked down at the pajamas she was wearing… I think her godmother had come downstairs and seen her drunk and helped her to her room and changed her into her pajamas again?
Returning to the bedroom, I again saw my little sling sitting on the bed rubbed out of shape.
Lu Nu was silent, what the hell did she do last night? Did she really not play drunk?
Just as she was thinking, Wu Ma stood outside the door and knocked, saying with a smile on her face, “Nong Nong? Do you need to change the sheets?”
Lu Nu was puzzled, weren’t the sheets changed yesterday? Did he throw up on the bed last night?
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Nu hurriedly lifted the covers and carefully searched the sheets for any vomit.
She scrutinized the bedsheets from end to end, it was good that they were clean and dry, otherwise the thought that she had actually slept on vomit-stained bedsheets would have made Lu Neng uncomfortable.
Although there was no vomit, Lu Nong always felt that it was stained with the smell of alcohol, so he said to his godmother, “Change it then, it smells like alcohol.”
“Hey, switch.”
Wu Ma walked in to help Lu Nong change the sheets together, glanced at Lu Nong, and then secretly looked for something on the sheets.
Lu Nu:? I really didn’t throw up!
“What are you looking for, Godmother?”
A little disappointed that Wu Ma didn’t find what she was looking for, she casually said, “Oh, not looking for anything.”
After a while it glared at Lu Nong with a hateful look.
Lu Nong was confused, she did not throw up on the bed, why does the godmother still look not very happy? What’s wrong with her?
At noon Pei Silk An didn’t come back to eat, Lu Nu didn’t care, and even breathed a sigh of relief, hell knows if she played drunk last night, she didn’t want anyone to tell her what outrageous things she did when she was drunk.
After lunch, Lu Nong decided to enrich Gu Huai’s childhood memories by making potpourri.
First, grind the long soaked plain rice and glutinous rice into a pulverized paste and strain out the unground residue.
Then turn on the fire and pour boiling water and sugar, then pour half of the rice syrup into the pot, stirring quickly in the pot until the rice syrup becomes paste-like thick, mix the thick rice syrup in the pot with the unheated rice syrup and stir to hit the paste.
Finally, pour the battered rice milk into a small bowl prepared in advance, add red beans, mung beans, sesame seeds and other small traps, and finally steam on the steamer for twenty minutes.
The rice aroma mellow bowl cake is made, in addition to simply with rice flour bowl cake, Lu Nong also made matcha bowl cake and white rabbit milk sugar bowl cake.
After making it, Pei Zheng the glutton drilled into the kitchen following the scent, little Gu Huai followed Pei Zheng like a little tail, a big small eyes looking at Lu Nong …… hand bowl cake.
Potting cake is worthy of the Cantonese tea in gluttony cry children snacks, Pei Zheng eat up one after another endless, cubs can not eat too much at a young age, Lu Nong only let him take a nibble, as for Pei Zheng two or three bites can eat a, Lu Nong has been unable to count how many he ate in the end.
Pup: “Mom, well bared ……”
Pei Zheng: “Stepmother, can we still do it tomorrow?”
Pup: “Uh-huh!”
Lu Nong did not pay attention to the two brats, she picked up a few plates of potter’s cake and candy to go to the compound near a few neighbors, have moved to a few days, as the new hostess, and then do not go and greet the neighbors in all aspects are somewhat inappropriate.
Lu Nong asked Pei Zheng, “Tell me what the surrounding neighbors are, so I can have a count when I go to deliver the pastries.”
Pei Zheng regret to share out most of it, thought about starting from next door to Lu Nong popularization, “next door to live is Cui uncle family, Cui uncle and my father a level, the family eight/nine people, the last few days you have not seen their family, it should be Huo Auntie and Cui uncle quarrel with their own child born back to his mother’s home, Cui uncle angry live in the army, the family is only left in the Cui grandma and nannies. “
“Oh yes, Auntie Huo is a stepmother, Uncle Cui’s former wife gave birth to the oldest and the oldest two do not live here, wait for Auntie Cui to come back you do not mess with her, she is very fierce, fighting you certainly can not beat her.”
Pei Zheng spoke in a cloudy manner, Lu Nu was full of questions, so the old lady she saw watering the flowers the other day was not the hostess, but the hostess’s mother-in-law? Luckily, she thought the neighbors were good to get along with, to what extent were they so fierce that they even fought.
“Do they fight a lot?” Although he didn’t want to ask, the two families lived too close together, if the next door quarreled loudly at night, he would inevitably be able to hear something, and Lu Neng was very worried about the quality of her sleep in the future.
“Loud, often, no time to argue during the day at work, usually at night when I come home.”
Pei Zheng looked like he was used to it, to be honest, he originally felt that his home was cold without any warmth, but every now and then he heard the quarrel next door so noisy that the roof was going to lift off, so he no longer felt that the family was not warm.
Lu Nu was speechless, “What about the other ones? Are there any that are close to your dad or your dad’s superiors?”
The small red building belongs to the senior officers of the army family building, this area has a total of more than a dozen and Pei’s family pattern is similar to the red building, and further on is the silo type family building.
More than a dozen small red buildings were individually surrounded by a community compound, the cell door with a wooden barn carrying soldiers on guard, in and out are very strict, outsiders want to come in very difficult, non-family members want to come in is the need for an access card.
This is also the reason why Lu Nong never saw her again after the nanny was driven away, not that the nanny didn’t want to come in, but without a pass, she couldn’t get in at all.
Lu Nong observed, not all of the dozen or so buildings are full, plus Pei’s family included, almost ten households live.
Pei Zheng stuffed another mantle cake into his mouth and said vaguely, “There are no superiors, and those with even higher rank positions than my father’s live in the inner city, with my grandparents and the others.”
“Relationship good four or five families, Zhang Kaiping Jiang Iu family, and next door to Uncle Cui relationship is also good, the other families are face love, go also line not no one said mouth.”
Lu Nong raised his eyebrows and noticed that Pei Zheng even did not say Shen Jiming’s house, knowing that the Shen family could not only be neighbors, or Pei Zheng’s uncle’s house, looking at Pei Zheng and Shen Jiming’s relationship as well as Pei Jing’an’s attitude towards Shen Jiming, it shouldn’t be a bad relationship ah.
Pei Zheng was stared at by Lu Nong and could not eat the bowl cake, knowing that Lu Nong heard the wrong in his words, “It is Shen Jiming his father …… yesterday told you about my parents, but outsiders, including grandparents and little aunt, do not know that it is my mother who has problems, they feel that my father is sorry for my mother. “
Speaking here Pei Zheng put down the bowl of rice cakes and sighed, “Shen Wenming his father my own uncle, always thought that my father is sorry for my mother, everywhere to find my father’s trouble, my mother stored and my father back together, uncle naturally hope that my mother to get what she wants, so I advise you not to go to his home, lest you be bullied.”
Pei Zheng was able to get the words here, considered to have completely accepted Lu Nong, Lu Nong could hear it and thought to herself that she hadn’t eaten the snacks she had made in vain.
Carefully pondering the meaning of Pei Zheng’s words, Lu Nong somewhat realized.
After hearing about Pei Zheng’s mother yesterday, she felt that Pei’s family’s attitude towards Shen Yimei was a bit too good, so good that it was unbelievable, which parent is close to the daughter-in-law who made a mistake to alienate their own son.
It turns out that the crux of the matter is here, people do not know the real reason why Pei Silk An and Shen Yimei divorced.
However, Lu Nong still feel strange, even if everyone does not know the real reason Pei Silk An and Shen Yi Mei divorce, but the divorce is a matter of two people, why everyone puts the fault on Pei Silk An’s head, they all think that it is Pei Silk An abandoning Shen Yi Mei, but instead, Shen Yi Mei picked out clean.
Pei Silk An does not tell outsiders the real reason for his divorce with Shen Yimei she understands, after all, involves a woman’s reputation, not to mention that this woman is still Pei Zheng’s own mother, spread out not only Shen Yimei is not good, Pei Zheng will also be laughed at by others.
Furthermore, I believe that Pei Silk An would not want others to know that his wife has cuckolded him.
But why didn’t Pei Li An even tell his parents and sister? Even Pei Zheng let his family misunderstand his father?
Lu Nu wanted to speak, both wanting to ask about her doubts and feeling that it was a bit cruel to let Pei Zheng speak about his own mother.
Yesterday, Pei Zheng had already surprised her by being able to cryptically say that her mother had cheated on her.
Forget it, Lu Nong did not continue to ask, to this point, how Pei Jingan think and she has nothing to do with, involving her problems, Pei Zheng can say all said.
Pei Zheng, however, easily saw what she didn’t say, sometimes Pei Zheng is indeed perceptive and scary, this is especially like his father.
“You think it’s strange, why don’t you tell your grandparents and the Shen family the truth about them?” Pei Zheng said carelessly, “It’s nothing to tell you, you know what you should know anyway.”
“I said it once, but no one believed me, and I don’t know as to whether my dad said it or not, maybe not at all.”
Lu Nong more or less a little bit shocked, suddenly felt that Pei family in addition to Pei Silk An and Pei Zheng, very inexplicable, and Pei Mingxia gave her a similar feeling, biased to the extreme.
Lu Nu said that Pei Lien An most likely didn’t say anything, why didn’t he say anything? Is it because he knew it was useless to say anything, so he gave up at the beginning?
And Pei Zheng had once told his grandparents about Shen Yimei, but they didn’t believe him, and if they cared a little about their son, they would have checked to see if it was true before jumping to conclusions, right?
Lu Nu shook her head, not intending to get involved in the Pei family’s affairs, admonishing herself that it would be better to avoid them in the future, she picked up the box of Potato Cake and Candy and said, “I’m going to go visit the neighbors, you and Xiao Huai be good at home and watch the house oh.”
Pei Zheng was furious: “I told you not to treat me like a child!”
Lu Nong out the door, first knocked on the door of the next door neighbor’s house, opened the door is a middle-aged woman with an apron, the middle-aged woman was first surprised by Lu Nong’s appearance, back to hesitantly ask: “Are you ……”
“Hello, I’m the wife of Pei Silian from next door, and I’ve come to deliver some wedding candies and treats to your family.” Lu Nong handed the divided candies to the middle-aged woman.
“Oh oh, then you please come in quickly.” The middle-aged woman took the potpourri and candies, and busily welcomed Lu Nong in, shouting back behind her, “Aunt Cui, it’s the wife of Staff Sergeant Pei from next door, she’s come to deliver wedding candies to our house.”
Lu Nong followed the middle-aged woman into the door, the Cui family layout and Pei’s family is not much different by and large, but may live in a large number of people, even the first floor is separated from a few small rooms, it seems a little cramped, the living room directly and the dining room and merged together, there is no longer a sofa, only a dining table and chairs.
The old lady who had gestured with Lu Nong across the room that day got up from her chair and said to Lu Nong with a warm attitude, “Have a seat, I don’t know what to call you?”
“I won’t sit down, Auntie, you can just call me Little Lu, I came over today to deliver the wedding candies and visit the neighbors on the way, I have to go to the next house.” Lu Nu said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Cui sniffed and let out an oh, “Then I won’t keep you much longer, come over to play when you have time ah Xiao Lu, Xiao Wang you send Xiao Lu off for me.”
Nanny Wang escorted Lu Nong out the door, and after closing the door, Old Mrs. Cui picked up the Potting Cake Lu Nong had made and tasted it, saying, “This tastes good, save it for the Boss to come back and try.”
She also said about Lu Nong, “She is a polite one, with good hands, and she is young and good-looking, so how come she couldn’t think of going to be a stepmother to someone?”
Nanny Wang heard the old lady with a thorn in her side, which is suspicious of people’s daughter-in-law to marry him because of the power and position of Pei’s staff.
Nanny Wang’s impression of Lu Nong was good, like the old lady said, polite as hell, addressing her you you for half a day, knowing she was a nanny when she left didn’t change her attitude, and stuffed her with a few pieces of pastries and sugar to let her taste the flavor as well.
So Nanny Wang said a few words of justice for Lu Nong, “She’s in a second marriage, and she’s still got a two or three year old child, and neither one of them suffers by marrying Staff Sergeant Pei.”
Old Mrs. Cui glanced at the nanny, “Yes, these two people are a good match just by looking at their looks, I just don’t know if they will be good to Xiao Zheng, after all, they are stepmothers ……”
The rest of the words Cui old lady did not say out, the nanny did not dare to say more, Cui old lady said a total of two words, every sentence is not away from the stepmother, she is by Lu Nong associated with their own daughter-in-law.
On the other side Lu Nong walked towards the next house, she strictly followed the intelligence route provided by Pei Zheng and went to Zhang Kaiping’s and Jiang Iu’s house successively, passing by Shen Jiming’s house halfway and walking away without a glance, determined not to get herself into trouble.
To Zhang Kaiping’s house, once inside, Lu Nong was surrounded by a group of little carrot heads, the original little carrot heads have heard their brother say that Uncle Pei’s newly married aunt will make delicious ice cream, as for how Zhang Kaiping knows, naturally Pei Zheng said.
Zhang Kaiping’s mother waved her hand to drive the children away, “Go go go, hurry back to the house and do your homework, Daping keep an eye on his younger siblings, let them run out again and I’ll beat you up.”
Zhang Kaiping juggled his bitter face and took his younger siblings back to the house.
“Sibling, I’m sorry, the children were rude, they didn’t scare you, did they?” Qin Qing said in embarrassment.
She had four or five children in a row and was severely out of shape and looked a little bloated.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, the children are all very cute, by the way sister-in-law, I’ve made some snacks, you take them to the children.” Lu Nong handed her the Potting Cake.
“Hey good, did you make all this? The hands are so handy too.”
Qin Qing can see that Lu Nong said is sincere, the smile on the face of many sincere, she is a person who loves children, said that playing children is in fact to scare them, never really hit, the most annoyed by those who mouth to praise her children, the heart can not see her and the children of the people, the children are fat how to be fat a little bit of blessing.
This could be said to refer to someone in particular, thinking of the Shen family’s daughter-in-law, and a comparison of Qin Qing’s attitude towards Lu Nong made it even better.
“I heard our family old Zhang said, Silent An married a new wife, has not had the opportunity to see you, this time finally see.” Said Qin Qing carefully measuring Lu Nong, “My good boy ah, how do you look, just now you enter the door of our family old little straight shout fairy daughter, if not I grabbed her, she will run to you hit up.”
Zhang family’s youngest child Lu Nong has seen, is a solid chick, fortunately Qin sister-in-law quick to catch her, or Lu Nong may really be her bumped into a butt dun, and then listen to Qin sister-in-law jokingly mentioned, a time to laugh and cry.
Qin Qing took the initiative to say, “We are all neighbors from now on, so feel free to say anything, it’s only right that we help each other as neighbors.”
Lu Nong and Qin Qing have a good impression of each other, after saying goodbye to Mrs. Qin, Lu Nong went to Jiang Iu’s house, Jiang Iu’s house is empty, Lu Nong knocked for half a day and no one answered the door, so she could only take the last portion of the bowl of rice cakes and beat a path back home.
This night, Pei Silk An unprecedentedly did not go home, but let Xiao Zhou bring word, punished Pei Zheng daily weight running five kilometers, as for other people did not have a side account.
At first Lu Nong did not care, but for a week in a row, Pei Silk An did not come home, Qin sister-in-law and Lu Nong relationship is good, specially come to ask Lu Nong is not and Pei Silk An fell out.
Lu Nu was confused, and before she could figure it out, it was time for school to start.
