    The next morning, Lu Nu rare five o’clock woke up, fried hair from the bed to get up, down to jerk the pajamas run to the chest, did not notice that the seat next to the body is not empty today.

    Turning around, she realized that Pei Shenan was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

    Lu Nu: “……”

    Didn’t see didn’t see he fell asleep didn’t see anything …… Lu Nu all the way hypnotized himself, quietly climbed out of bed, grabbed the bedside skirt and hurried out of the bedroom, didn’t notice that the person on the bed in her out of the door a moment to open his eyes.

    After coming out of the washroom, Lu Nong organized her new dress and went downstairs, she wore a rustic light green check dress that is close to the style of this era, but her hair was braided into a gentle fluffy braid, and she also pinned a wisteria flower hairpin on her head, which is super gentle and atmospheric.

    Wu Ma dozed off and came down from upstairs, “Nong Nong, why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

    “It’s the first day of school, it’s not good to be late, do you want to go out for breakfast? I’ll go.” Lu Nong took the bamboo basket in her godmother’s hand.

    “Yo, the sun is beating out of the west, the comrade Lu who never gets up until noon also gets up this early?”

    Pei Zheng straightened the belt on his waist and the harness on his feet, came down from the second floor, and saw Lu Nong say in a conspiratorial manner.

    Lu Neng smiled, “Guard Pei, it seems that you are ready to accept the heavy responsibility given to you by the organization today?”

    “Heavy duty” was emphasized by Lu Nong.

    Pei Zheng: “……” copy, careless.

    He is used to fighting with Lu Nong every day, and the first thing he does when he sees Lu Nong is to find a point where he can overpower her, and he doesn’t remember the bet he lost yesterday.

    Pei Zheng’s expression changed drastically, and after struggling for a while, he finally closed his eyes in resignation, no longer talking back.

    “Ahem,” Lu Nong has the upper hand, the heart is happy to die, on the face of the fake, “Since Comrade Pei is so positive, then well, by the unanimous decision of the organization, from today onwards to give Comrade Pei the task of buying breakfast, here, your grandma Wu’s vegetable basket, remember to buy all the family like to eat. “

    Pei Zheng received the basket wrapped in a small blue flowered earthen cloth with disgust, it was fine to buy breakfast, he had to get up early and run every morning anyway, but what did it look like for him, a big man, to be carrying this?

    He just wanted to put down the basket, his eyes turned, no, this blessing can not be his alone to enjoy, said that there is a blessing to be shared, brothers since together as a guard, we can not leave them behind.

    So Pei Zheng carried the basket out the door.

    Seeing him go, Lu Neng laughed out loud, and I have to say, Pei Zheng and the little broken flower defiance is so little big.

    “I’m going out for a walk.” She tossed her braid behind her head, it was hard to get up early without getting some fresh air.

    Just two steps away, I heard my godmother behind me say, “…… Miss, would it not be good to instruct Pei Zheng to do these things? You’re not his real mom after all.”

    They say it’s hard to be a stepmother, and Wu Ma is a little worried that Pei Zheng has a knot in his heart, and also worried that outsiders will misunderstand Lu Nong.

    Lu Nu paused to contemplate, had she gone too far?

    From yesterday to now, it is not limited to letting Pei Zheng wash the cubs’ diapers and smelly socks, cleaning the toilet, planting vegetables and flowers, and giving godmother a fire and washing vegetables and pinching shoulders to beat the foot-washing water ……

    It’s a bit much, but …… she’s so happy hahahahahahahaha.

    “It’s fine,” Lu Nong comforted her godmother, “Pei Zheng is not a petty person, he lost a bet with me yesterday and promised to be my guard for a month, it’s not too much for me to order him to do something small.”

    Wu Ma was helpless, “A small thing like scrubbing the toilet? I think you just want to toss him.”

    Well, Lu Nu stopped struggling and honestly admitted, “Yes, I just wanted to toss him.”

    Just after the words fell, he saw Pei Silk An come down from the upper floor, and he didn’t know how long he had been listening to it.

    Lu Nu: “……”

    Mrs. Wu: “……”

    Help, what should I do if I admit to torturing someone’s son and my own father hears about it?

    It’s not like she’s an evil stepmother, is it? What should she say to save her image?

    Lu Nong looked at Pei Shenan and said dryly, “I’m messing around with Pei Zheng, chief don’t misunderstand.”

    Pei Shenan: “I know.”

    Pei Jingan came towards the door with his military jacket on, if he is an ascetic male god when he is buttoned up, then the less disciplined him is Xiao Xiao Xuan Xuan Jiu, with a zhanran mild temperament.

    Taking into account the injuries on his body, he walked slowly past Lu Nong, and when he saw that Lu Nong did not follow, he looked back at Lu Nong and said, “Aren’t you going out for a walk?”

    Lu Nu:?

    …… In the end, she still followed Pei Silent An out the door.

    Well, it’s in good shape. At best, I don’t know what to do with my arms and legs, and I’m walking on the same hand and foot.

    Ah! Lu Nong heart and howled out of the bear called emoticon, last night’s flag-raising incident of the impact has not been completely removed from her brain, today was caught in public, help, Pei Silk An in the end how to do a calm face as if nothing happened last night as well?

    Lu Nu: I can, Pei Silk An can all I can too!

    She took a few deep breaths and, well, it seemed to work.

    By chance, I glanced at Pei Silk An s pants, so big is to say …… this who can bear it?

    KAM! Broke again.

    In order to divert her attention, Lu Nong coughed up her throat, glancing sideways at Pei Jingan every now and then, and asked, “Chief, why do you believe that what I just said about fooling around with Pei Zheng is true?”

    After asking Lu Nong regretted it, what kind of crap question she had, people believed it, why remind Pei Jingan to think about this sensitive topic again?

    But she was also genuinely curious, did Pei Jingan have so much faith in her character? Or was it that she had a kind face and was naturally prone to gaining the trust of others?

    Soon after, Pei Shenan broke Lu Neng’s fantasy and said matter-of-factly, “Pei Zheng told me about your bet last night.”

    Besides, he had always seen the way she and Pei Zheng got along, so how could he have misunderstood?

    Lu Nu was disappointed to hear that he wasn’t influenced by her personality, so he responded dryly, “Oh, that’s so.”

    Summer morning is the most refreshing time of the day, the sun has not yet fully risen, a gentle breeze on the face, the insects are not yet resting, birds chirping, has not yet experienced industrial pollution of the environment, only the fragrance of the grass and trees and the chimneys of each house out of the smell of cooking smoke.

    Lu Nu was soon attracted to the clean smoky atmosphere, and could even smell what each family had made for breakfast as he passed by them.

    Two people slowly stroll, not panic not hurry to get together, a side of the head will be able to see the tall figure, but let Lu Nong born some of the years, as if in this everything is very slow era, she can really and the people around her old age.

    Pity is an illusion …… Strange, why did she say pity?

    Until they saw Pei Zheng, Zhang Kaiping, and Jiang Iu standing in front of the Shen family’s door, Pei Zheng was holding a small stone and still on one of the Shen family’s windows, and Wu Ma’s small flower basket was carried in Zhang Kaiping’s hand.

    After a few moments, Shen Jiming opened the window to see Pei Zheng’s trio standing downstairs, and Zhang Kaiping raised the basket in his hand and said, “Mingzi, come down to work, Sister Lu Nong’s new instructions – buy breakfast.”

    Lu Nu: “……” unlucky brother, but also learned to pretend to pass the imperial decree.

    Shen Shiming soon came out of the house, the four of them whispered for a while then turned their backs on Lu Nong and Pei Yinan and walked away.

    From beginning to end, the four did not notice Lu Nong and Pei Yinan around the corner.

    Surrounded by Pei Zheng play mind, Pei Silk An as if he did not see his son generally continue to walk, Lu Nong walked for such a long time to see Pei Silk An did not make things difficult for her, bold, look around fresh, completely ignored Pei Silk An beside him.

    “Xiao Lu? Taking a walk with Old Pei?”

    A woman’s voice called back Lu Nu’s attention, she shot a look, it was Zhang Kaiping’s mom, Big Sister Qin, Lu Nu had a good relationship with Big Sister Qin, and her address to Big Sister Qin had already shifted from Sister-in-law Qin from the other day to the cordial Big Sister Qin, she smiled and greeted Big Sister Qin:

    “Big Sister Qin, are you taking a walk too?”

    Big Sister Qin held up the doughnuts and soymilk in her hand, “How can I, there are a lot of things at home, how can I have that free time to take a walk, Kaiping early in the morning, I don’t know where to go, I had to go out to buy breakfast by myself, this is not just back.”

    Lu Nong listened to the sweat, Pei Zheng that bad boy called Zhang Kaiping away, Qin big sister’s own home but no one to work.

    “Your outfit is really nice,” Big Sister Qin looked enviously at Lu Nong’s slender waist, and looked down at her own thick waist, this is really a human comparison, “And this hair combing can be really beautiful, you said it’s all in one pair of hands, how come you’re so dexterous? “

    Good-looking, good-tempered, good dresser, and handy, no wonder Old Pei Baba married back, if she were a man she would have married such a daughter-in-law.

    Before Lu Nong said something, Big Sister Qin glanced at Pei Silk An again and said to Pei Silk An with some constraint, “Old Pei ah, I heard my family’s Old Zhang say that you were injured, was the injury serious?”

    Pei Silk An took out the same rhetoric from yesterday and said lightly, “Sister-in-law don’t worry, it’s just a little skin rubbing.”

    To say that just now Qin big sister in front of Pei Silk An is still very restrained, once he heard this instantly changed the momentum, quite a bit of hatred, said, “I still do not know you when the military, what to say what bloodshed and sweat do not shed tears, but you in front of our families of military personnel also this set of rhetoric, too much to let care about your heartbreak, you say it is right Xiaolu?”

    After saying that, Qin Da Sister looked to Lu Nong for approval.

    Lu Nong nodded with a dry smile, Pei Silk An also showed a rare look of being taught, Qin big sister this slowed down the look, and then I do not know what to think of, want to speak and then measured Pei Silk An, and then made up her mind to bite her teeth and said, “…… Sister-in-law borrowed Xiao Lu to say something, old Pei, you do not mind, right? “

    Pei Jingan sidled over to indicate that he was letting Big Sister Qin make herself at home.

    Big Sister Qin pulled Lu Nong over, glanced at Pei Yinan to make sure he wasn’t looking at them, and mysteriously said to Lu Nong: ”Little Lu, don’t blame your sister-in-law for being nosy, I heard Zhang Kaiping say that your old Pei is starting to drink tonic soup now? Is it that this time the injury is not the right place? Sister-in-law here has a few formulas, in a hurry, sister-in-law will send them to you tomorrow?”

    !

    Lu Nu: “……”

    Lu Nong looked at Pei Silk An with a single word and found that his face was cracked for a moment, she doubted that Pei Silk An could hear them, but when she looked more closely, Pei Silk An’s face had nothing on it again, as if it was just an illusion on her part.

    Lu Nong retracted his line of sight, and said with difficulty to Big Sister Qin, “Big Sister, there is no need, he …… is not injured there, the tonic soup is what I am drinking, I am not well, and he is just making up for it by the way.”

    Qin big sister frowned, think Lu Nong did not tell the truth, Zhang Kaiping last night is not so said, that big bowl of Wang Bao soup alone to Pei Silk An drink, is not for the man to make up for that side of the strange, on second thought, think it may be a young daughter-in-law thin-skinned, embarrassed to say that this aspect of the matter.

    “OK, it’s you who drinks, he follows you by the way, sis believe it OK?”

    Lu Nu: “…… “You don’t look like you believe it.

    Big Sister Qin didn’t dwell on it, thinking that there will always be a time when you’ll be begging me for a formula, and turned to another matter, “Xiao Lu ah, it’s been quite a few days since you married in, and a few days ago Sister wanted to tell you something.”

    “Big sister, you say.” Lu Nong made a gesture of washing her ears.

    Qin Big Sister then patted Lu Nong’s hand and continued, “Our compound it is not many people, the families will get together every once in a while to talk and chat, I know that you some days ago to close to the family candy, but in the end, not formal enough, just take advantage of this week’s party, Big Sister to give you an introduction to you to see how it is?”

    This is a good intention, and once heard is lady diplomacy, someone to bring her into this circle, it is better than stupidly being excluded, Lu Nong even if it is stupid can not refuse, she said with a grateful face, “Then thank you big sister.”

    Big Sister Qin nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Lu Neng understood her meaning, talking to smart people is painful.

    “Then I’ll go home first, the little cubs are waiting for this mouthful of food, you guys take a slow stroll.” After saying that, Big Sister Qin greeted Pei Yin An and thundered away.

    After Big Sister Qin walked away, Lu Nong said to Pei Lien An what Big Sister Qin had just said about taking her into the circle of ladies, “…… What do you think?”

    It was always a matter of asking Pei Silk An’s opinion to see if he had anything he wanted her to pay attention to.

    Pei quietly listen to the end, casually said, “go, at the comfortable as making a few friends, at the uncomfortable also do not have to force.”

    Lu Neng looked at him sideways, this word sounds nothing on the surface, but if you think about it carefully, you can hear that it carries Pei Silent An style of pride, which roughly means: I don’t need you to be careful with anyone.

    The so-called lady diplomacy, naturally, is through the relationship of the wives of the families, to draw closer to each other, can’t say what benefits to gain, but in the end, it is somewhat helpful to the men.

    But Pei Silk An does not care about these, shows that in his heart, from disdain to rely on these means of progress, also, Pei Silk An are no wife for more than ten years, he never rely on their own.

    Lu Nu felt that this kind of Pei Yin An was a bit handsome, more handsome than his appearance.
