Chapter 3 Chapter 3
by Jessie@AFNCCLu Nu woke up in a trance and sat up from the bed, her head still dizzy.
Consciousness returned and it occurred to me that I should have fallen asleep in the shower.
So how did she end up back in the bedroom now? Who moved her here?
And this broken body of hers, it was time to mend it.
Thinking about it, Lu Neng stiffened as she saw another person in the room!
She had just been thinking about things and the bedroom was too dark to see inside, so she was oblivious to the fact that there was an extra person in the room.
But how could an outlaw easily run in such a heavily guarded compound?
At that moment, the man sitting by the window spoke, “You’re awake.”
The voice was low and cold, very soft, but enough to be heard.
Lu Nong raised his eyes to look, the sky is dark, the man sat in a chair by the window, the white curtains were gently lifted by the wind, his face was in the light through the curtains under the light and dark intertwined, light and shadow shaping his gentle and handsome face more and more three-dimensional, but the expression is faint.
A plate military uniform, buttoned to the very top, and with his voice and demeanor, revealing an ascetic aura all around.
Lu Nu had never seen a person who could express abstinence so well.
She rummaged through her memories and realized that this man was actually the original owner’s second husband, Pei Silk An.
When the original owner’s former husband died, her mother’s family and mother-in-law’s family joined together to make a scene at her former husband’s shrine, and the original owner was torn back and forth between the two families because she was too upset and muddled.
It was Pei Silk An who appeared to settle the strife and then took out the letter Gu Weiguo had sent him, asking the original owner if he wanted to marry him.
Although the original owner couldn’t let go of her husband in her heart, she knew that she had a weak character and couldn’t cope with her bloodsucking family and in-laws, but even for the sake of her child she couldn’t go on like this, so she agreed to Pei Silk An’s marriage proposal with a clench of her teeth.
The two men received a license that day, Pei Silian had official business back to the army, arranged for guards to help the original owner and his son to move to the compound.
Lu Nong is on the way to move to wear, wear to these three days time, Pei Silk An once again did not appear, she almost forgot that she still has a husband.
There’s that little bit of awkwardness going on.
However, this year is already sixty-three years old, and if you want to get through the next â–¡â–¡â–¡â–¡ in peace, you really have to rely on this current husband that you have forgotten about.
The good thing is that we can see from Pei Yin An’s behavior that he married the original owner solely to take care of his brother’s widow.
The few sentences of the novel’s narrative of the original owner also proves this point, after the original owner married Pei Silk An, Pei Silk An was busy with his work, although he gave the original owner a privileged life, but the two were politely detached from each other and did not look like a real couple.
Since this is the case, then she will maintain the mode of the two people in the novel, Pei Silk An as a tenant, mutual well water, if one day Pei Silk An meets a person he likes, then it is not too late to divorce.
Thinking of this, Lu Neng breathed a sigh of relief.
“You have severe blood sugar deficiency, don’t soak in the bath for too long in the future, if I hadn’t realized it early, I’m afraid something would have happened.” Seeing that Lu Nong had been silent, Pei Shenan spoke up.
“……”!!!?
Lu Nu spoke with difficulty, “You were the one who saved me in the bathroom?”
There was a steep silence in the air.
“Yes.”
“Then my clothes ……” Lu Nong dying.
“I asked Sister Sun to change it for you.”
Although but …… it is also enough for the society to die, she wants to escape from the city in the night to save the big life.
“…… Thank you.” Lu Nong thanked him with tears in her eyes.
Pei Shenan: “You’re welcome.”
Pei Silk An stood up, put the book in his hands back on the chair, is a Lu Nong from the original owner of the two boxes of books found in the original edition of Borges poetry, only last year in the first issue of the foreign publication and distribution of the first issue of Lu Nong’s cousin sent her, the original owner of the collection of poems of little interest, put in the box pile of ash, but Lu Nong is interested in and once again turned it out.
Since the incident of Lu’s mother spending all of the original owner’s money for her study abroad, the original owner has repeatedly urged her uncle’s family not to send her any more money.
The uncle’s family is also clear about the Lu family’s temperament, from then on to the original owner to send more than food to wear with, the original owner of the pile of beautiful clothes, a large part of the aunt to buy for her, know the original owner love books love music, cousin is every now and then will send some related things back.
Luno wandered off again.
When he looked back, he saw Pei Yinan unbuttoning his uniform one by one, revealing the white shirt inside.
“What are you doing?” She inquired offhandedly.
Pei Jingan moved with a start.
Immediately followed by Lu Nong also remembered, Pei family second floor a total of three bedrooms, Pei Zheng a, Gu Huai also has a baby room, so that she lived in this should be Pei Silent Ann’s bedroom!
No wonder she thought the dresser and cream-colored closet in this room were a little out of place with the overall decor of the room, and who keeps two closets in their bedroom.
“There’s no need to be afraid,” Pei Jing’an’s voice was still light, but the words were soothing, and then explained, “I didn’t know Xiao Zhou had put you here, and if you’re uncomfortable, I’ll often stay in the troop dormitory from now on.”
After saying that, he pulled out an outfit from the plainer cabinet, looking like he had originally intended to just change into a tunic.
“Uh, not really.”
Lu Nong thought about opening her mouth and said, she and Gu Huai mother and father were living in one room in this house, and as a result, the host family was driven to the army to live in a dormitory, even if she had a face that was no longer big, she couldn’t agree to it.
Moreover, if Pei Silk An really live in the army, the outside must say anything, Lu Nong is not afraid of being talked about, but more is better than less, the most annoying is still the mother’s family will think that Lu Nong and Pei Silk An feelings are not harmonious, and in vain to regenerate the trouble.
“This was supposed to be your room, no need to move.” Big deal, she moved in with her son.
Pei Silk An heard and didn’t know whether to agree or not, just nodded thoughtfully.
“By the way,” Luno thought of the two boxes of books she kept under her bed, “is your study very opportune?”
The topic jumped around too quickly, and Pei Jingan didn’t keep up with Lu Neng’s jumpy thinking for a moment, so he stopped the movements in his hands and looked straight at her.
Suddenly, Lu Nong and Pei Silk An locked eyes, she only realized at this moment that Pei Silk An’s eyes were so deep and quiet.
There are those whose eyes are streaming with thoughts.
In this era of high illiteracy rate, people are more concerned about eating and drinking, even in modern times, people’s material and cultural life is rich and colorful, but the spiritual world is equally barren.
Taking Lu Nong herself, she felt that she was a salted fish with no thoughts or awareness.
Being thoughtful is different from being cultured.
She had never encountered a person like Pei Yin An and was quite curious.
The two just stared at each other for a while, the curtains were gently raised and gently fell by the wind, until Pei Jingan opened his mouth and asked, “What happened to the study?”
“Yeah, I’d say the study,” Lu Neng came back to the party and continued, “Can I put my books in the study? Usually go read books and such.”
“Yes.” Pei Jingan was succinct.
Lu Nong put down his heart, it seems that the study is not particularly important, also, like Pei Silk An this level of people, how could they put official business in a place where even a nanny can enter.
To know that the king is not secret is lost, the minister is not secret is lost, a few things are not secret is a harm, pei ji an can’t not understand this reasoning.
“Knock, knock, knock,” came the knock on the door.
This method of knocking three times in one knock had been heard by Lu Neng for two days.
Sure enough, Sister Sun’s voice came from outside the door, “Staff Sergeant Pei, Comrade Lu, the meal is ready, come down and eat.”
Pei Jingan looked at Lu Nong.
Lu Nu would understand, lifting the covers and getting out of bed, and the two of them went out of the room together.
Downstairs Pei Zheng and Gu Huai, the two younger ones, had already taken their places at the dining table.
Gu Xiaohuai sat close to Pei Zheng, and although Pei Zheng’s expression was disgusted, his body language was moving closer to Gu Huai.
At first glance, it was a mouthful, and Lu Nu was almost amused by her own thoughts and snickered a little.
“Mom!” Gu Xiaohuai stomped in and ran to hug her mom’s legs, craning her neck vigorously to look at Pei Yinan, “Uncle Pei.”
Pei Jingan stroked Gu Huai’s head and leaned down to pick him up, carrying him back to the chair beside Pei Zheng.
Gu Huai obediently sat down and waited for the adults to come to the table to eat, and he could tell that he had been well treated by the original bishop.
Only then did Pei Zheng slowly stand up, just in time to see Lu Nong laughing at him at this scene, glaring at her and reluctantly getting up to call out, “Dad, Auntie Lu.”
Lu Nu: “……” Zinged, big bro.
Seeing Lu Nong’s sudden change in color, Pei Zheng seemed to have discovered a new continent as if he had taken a closer look at her, after which it dawned on him that the corners of his mouth were raised high.
“Auntie Lu, come over and sit down, today is the first time that our entire family has eaten together, Auntie Lu don’t be polite, in the future we will get along well ah Auntie Lu.”
Pei Zheng’s face was so enthusiastic that he looked confused at Sister Sun, who was serving the food next to him.
Auntie Lu Auntie Lu Auntie Lu Auntie …… Lu Nu s mind is about to be brainwashed by these three words.
“Hey, good son, I’m so touched, let’s get along from now on, big! son! Son!”
Lu Nong said with a touching face, come on, hurt each other.
You don’t say, passion paired with touching, profoundly embodies the stepmother-stepson mother-son bond!
This time it was Pei Zheng’s turn to look ugly, and when he was about to say something else, Pei Yinan, who hadn’t said anything, glanced at Pei Zheng with a warning face and said, “Let’s eat.”
Pei Zheng was even more reluctant than he had just called for, and still didn’t forget to glare at Lu Nong after sitting down.
Lu Nu smiled back.
“Are your grandparents in good health?” Pei Jingan asked Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng’s attention was quickly diverted to the topic of grandparents, thought for a moment and said, “Recently it rained, grandpa’s knees are uncomfortable, grandma’s wrists hurt, I told her not to work all the time, there’s a babysitter, but she didn’t hear about idleness, and her little aunt couldn’t persuade her.”
“But there’s medicine from my little aunt, and my grandparents say it works.”
“Well,” Pei Jingan nodded, “What about you? Starting school at BYU, did you prep in advance?”
Pei Zheng was disgusted to hear this, thinking that it was his father who thought he couldn’t do it, and said, not very willingly, “Don’t underestimate me, if I can get into Peking University, I’m no worse than anyone else.”
Lu Nong has been focusing on the rice bowl listened to the surprise raised his head to look at Pei Zheng, she only knows that the book Pei Zheng is a university did not finish college students, and did not know that he read the North University.
If so, no wonder in the book when Pei Zheng went to the countryside as a youth, he would secretly help those professors who were decentralized, and as a result, after the end of the holocaust to obtain a lot of connections, he should have thought of the same teachers and students who were also decentralized at that time, and it must be in his heart he could not get over that hurdle.
Pei Zheng thought Lu Nong was surprised to hear that he was able to get into Peking University, and without moving, he raised his head and proudly “hummed”.
He did have pride of place, too; at only sixteen years old, a college student could claim the phrase genius in any era.
Lu Nu didn’t tear him down, and after three seconds of pity, she continued to lower her head to eat, and fed little Gu Huai a mouthful of soup.
The main meal for dinner was steamed buns, and the side dishes were stir-fried cabbage and stir-fried greens, plus a tomato and egg soup, and a separate supplement for Gu Huai to make eclatization.
According to reason, two dishes and a soup with white bread in the sixties is absolutely not bad, but nay Sister Sun cooking does not spare oil, fried and do not eat oil two kinds of vegetables, which leads to these two kinds of dishes are not like fried, more like boiled.
Even if you put a few large pieces of meat, the smell of meat is very heavy, Lu Neng grew up pampered, food is not too fine, is really not used to eating.
So she only served herself a bowl of tomato and egg soup and ate a small half of a steamed bun with it.
After dinner, Pei Zheng picked up Gu Huai and left, and pretended not to see his own father’s strange eyes, Gu Huai surprisingly did not cry and obediently followed him.
I have to say it’s pretty amazing.
Pei Jingan and Lu Nong returned to the bedroom and helped her carry the books to the study.
Originally, Lu Nong planned to seek Pei Zheng’s help, but Pei Jingan listened and said there was no need.
After the books were moved to the study, Pei Jingan sat behind the desk and read a book, Lu Nong was busy organizing the books to the bookshelf, she had quite a lot of books, and in the end the bookshelf was a bit too big to fit, Pei Jingan saw this and put down the book and said, “Tomorrow I’ll let Xiao Zhou hit another bookshelf.”
“Really?” Lu Nu was a little surprised, then got the better of him and said, “Then can you hit another table, I want a place to study.”
“Could be.”
Lu Nong didn’t expect Pei Jingan to be so good at talking, she sincerely thanked him and became more and more relieved about the future together.
It wasn’t until the evening when he washed up and went to bed that Lu Neng felt that he might be relieved that he was early.
