Chapter 81 Chapter 81

“Free is free, but there’s a prerequisite, you have to give me these drawings.” Xie Laosan spoke a mouthful of half-baked Mandarin, obviously with some knowledge.

Lu Nong was surprised, every era has its own aesthetics, and the furniture design plans she brought were in a modern log simple style, including the sofa and ladder coffee table in the living room; the dining room area’s dining side storage cabinets, rectangular dining table, and chairs; Pei Zheng’s and Gu Huai’s upper and lower beds and closets, as well as other small bits and pieces around the edges.

Both in terms of function and design, these logs are a far cry from the mold of furniture favored in the sixties, especially in country homes.

This era, people’s concepts are cured old-fashioned, appreciate the atmosphere of the rich and noble type of furniture, even if the more design sense of furniture in front of them, they will still choose the old things, for the fresh things and can not accept good, and will even resist.

The furniture designed by Lu Nong is different from the existing styles, too simple and full of design.

Lu Nong originally thought that the carpenter would question himself, she was mentally prepared, but did not expect people to directly express the highest recognition – want.

This gave Lu Nong a great deal of goodwill towards Xie Laosan, the open-minded master carpenter with a good eye.

“Is Master Xie trying to reproduce the furniture on the drawing and then take it out to sell?” Lu Neng asked curiously, not afraid that no one would want it after typing it out?

Who knows Xie Laosan but shook his head, “These furniture designs are too unique, even if made most of them can not be sold, I just like to collect research.”

Lu Neng nodded, this is the normal answer, can not be sold, very true.

But then again, Master Xie really something, the eye of the poisonous, and now Lu Nong believe in the words of Director Leng, masters in the folk wow, she is full of expectations of Master Xie’s handiwork.

Xie Laosan saw Lu Nong Guang nodding his head without saying whether he would agree or not, thinking that Lu Nong was not willing to let him have the drawings, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll make your furniture for free, and in addition, I’ll give you another twenty dollars to make up for it.”

Director Leng: “…… “Xie Laosan is crazy!

Lu Nu: “……” It’s not necessary.

Director Leng is considered to have opened his eyes, with Lu Nong to do a trip to the furniture, Lu Nong not only did not spend money, Xie Laosan, the old miser will have to subsidize twenty dollars to Lu Nong.

Little Lu is great ah, she this moment really want to see Lu Nong to Xie Lao San drawings in the end painted on what style, so that Xie Lao San do not hesitate to pour money want.

Lu Nong of course can not take this money, in her opinion, someone’s vision beyond the times itself is a thing to be happy about, not to mention that Xie Laosan knows that the furniture design on the drawing presses the money, but also insisted on wanting to buy, which can only be born from love.

In other people’s eyes Xie Laosan was a carpenter, but in Lu Nong’s eyes, he had become a craftsman at the moment and was worthy of respect.

“Master Xie, the drawings can be given to you, and you don’t have to pay me extra. Just now you said that you will make furniture for me for free, let’s do it this way, I will only give you the money for the raw material of the wood, and exchange the manual fee for the drawings, what do you think?” Lu Nong said.

“Really?” Xie Laosan surprised to ask, for a very stingy people to pay out money is like cutting meat, originally to pay out money and then do not have to pay out money is simply a big pie in the head.

Now Lu Nong was in Xie Laosan’s eyes, without exaggeration, that was the best person in the world.

Afraid of Lu Nong changed his mind, Xie Laosan hurriedly said, “I must give you a good job to do seriously, and custodial and drawings on the exact same beautiful, you wait for it.”

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Lu Neng said.

In the end, Lu Nong and Xie Laosan discussed some more details and precautions, and after paying half of the deposit, they walked out of Xie’s house with the dumbfounded Director Leng.

It is worth mentioning that Director Leng originally came to Xie Laosan’s house to play desks for his granddaughter and grandson, because she came with Lu Nong, Xie Laosan, in order to curry favor with Lu Nong, gave Director Leng to also save the handmade production fee, and only charged for materials.

Out of Xie’s door, Director Leng still hasn’t slowed down, looking up at the sun high in the sky, “Is this really the Xie Laosan who kills and doesn’t let anyone pay back? The sun didn’t come out of the west?”

Back to his senses, Director Leng did not forget that this is all Lu Nong’s credit, and praised Lu Nong fiercely, saying, “Xiao Lu, I’m still the first time to take advantage of Xie Laosan here, really have you, those drawings you drew are for Xie Laosan to beat the furniture, right? I must take a good look at the furniture when it comes out, in the end what is a good object.”

Lu Nong: “Good objects can not be called, is my favorite style, coincidentally, Master Xie also like just.”

“Director Leng, today I’m tired of you, again taking me to the bazaar and accompanying me to find the carpenter master, some other day I’ll invite you to dinner at my home.”

“Okay, I’ll definitely go.” Director Leng agreed readily.

Back at the assembly point, the military wives gathered in twos and threes to talk and discuss what they had bought, Liu Erniu stood in the shade with Xianglan, and waved when she saw Director Leng and Lu Nong coming back.

“Back? How’s it going? Is Xie Laosan home?” Liu Erniu handed Lu Neng the things Lu Neng had entrusted her to guard.

“Aigoo, you don’t know ……” Director Leng didn’t wait for Lu Nong to speak before he said what happened at Xie Laosan’s house as a curiosity.

Liu Erniu slapped her thighs, “We said Comrade Lu looks like a cultural person, can write and draw, and the things he draws are all paid for.”

Xiang Lan also looked at Lu Nong with a little fan girl face, “Sister Lu is really great.”

Ever since Shannon has seen Lu Nong’s face, she has become Lu Nong’s little fan girl, Lu Nong soybean sweat, and she’s not as exaggerated as everyone makes her out to be, is she?

Director Leng heard Shannon’s words, Lu Nong literate this is certain, those drawings can be more than just a map, next to the words are marked, and Lu Nong usually talk and behave like people who have not read a book.

I just don’t know what degree she has.

Director Leng thought Lu Nong just came, the work is not arranged down, as long as Lu Nong has an elementary school education, in the elementary school as a teacher is also very suitable.

After a while, the vehicle of the logistics department came back from the city purchasing, the military wives got on the vehicle one by one, this time Lu Nong and Director Leng sat in one place.

The few military wives who gossiped with Lu Nong at the time of their arrival, knowing Lu Nong’s identity, not to mention talking to her, not even dare to meet Lu Nong’s eyes, and after getting into the car, honestly shut up and pretend to be a quail, for fear of being noticed by Lu Nong.

Lu Nu crowed.

The car bumped its way back to the mountains, and Lao Yu left the military wives on the riverbank and drove off.

Liu Erniu two mischievous son actually really listen to Liu Erniu to pick her up, but from the two eye staring at the package in the hands of Liu Erniu, the purpose is not pure.

Lu Nong accidentally saw Pei Silk An, she turned her head to look around her, and saw that the women around her were all looking at her with ambiguous faces, and Director Leng even directly covered her mouth and laughed out.

“What brings you here?”

Pei Jingan walked up and helped Lu Nong jump out of the car.

“Lunch break.” Pei Jingan was succinct.

Hu Mei joked, “I can’t imagine that Vice Division Commander Pei is so considerate, can compare my old Song.”

“But it’s not just your old Song, look at all the people we have, except for Comrade Lu who has a man to pick him up, which other man is here?” Director Leng said.

The women comrades present probably thought so in their hearts, but except for Hu Mei and Director Leng no one dared to say it, after all, the cold-faced Deputy Division Commander Pei was more terrifying than the division commander, who dared to poke fun at him to his face?

Moreover, Director Leng people are the wife of the division commander, poking fun at the deputy division commander is not wrong, they can not be compared, the man of the family than the deputy division commander’s position is lower, can not be no big or small.

So when Hu Mei spoke before Director Leng opened his mouth, Liu Erniu looked at Hu Mei with admiration while Wang Xiuzi frowned.

Pei Jingan faced Director Leng and Hu Mei’s jabs, his face didn’t change, reaching out to take the cloth bag in Lu Nong’s hand, “Hungry? Go home and eat.”

Lu Nu wasn’t hungry, but she hadn’t even had a drink of water all morning and was so thirsty that she couldn’t care less about being teased and said, “Good.”

Pei Shenan nodded to Director Leng, “Director Leng, we’ll leave first.”

“Let’s go let’s go, we’re going home too.” Director Leng waved his hand and said with a smile.

After Lu Nong and Pei Silk An left, a bunch of women comrades left walking behind with big bags, enviously looking at Lu Nong in front of the empty-handed, relaxed Lu Nong, can’t help but complain in their hearts about their husbands not coming to pick them up for so many years.

Hu Mei sighed as if he did not think about it, said: “You say Pei deputy division commander, only focus on his daughter-in-law, cold director is still there, did not say to find a few soldiers to help move things back, so we left us and Comrade Lu went, but who let the person is the deputy division commander it.”

Director Leng didn’t say anything, and Liu Erniu was puzzled, “Usually we move home by ourselves?”

And this point in time the soldiers are eating lunch, and not the evening after the drill time, so that people can not eat lunch specifically to come, the afternoon training can not top ah.

After Liu Erniu finished, Hu Mei lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything, and Wang Xiuzhi gave her a special look.

Director Leng as if he did not hear their conversations, the old God holding the little fragrant orchid walking, compared to other military wives all tired, Director Leng in the market only bought some sweets and snacks, are in the hands of the little fragrant orchid to eat it.

Hu Mei, Wang Xiuzhi and Liu Erniu three people live close to each other, to be separated from them and the director of the Leng turned into another road, Wang Xiuzhi suddenly opened his mouth to Hu Mei, said: “I advise you to take advantage of this small mind, you think that the director of the Leng do not see that this provocation?”

“Men’s affairs do not meddle, this again blindly interfere, the one who suffers is the old Song of this family.”

Hu Mei was first pitted by Liu Erniu’s big truth, and now by Wang Xiuzhi who revealed her face to her face, she was inwardly annoyed and her face sombrely down, “Less sarcasm, it’s not your family man who was robbed of his chance to make a name for himself, of course you guys aren’t in a hurry.”

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Xiuzhi and Liu Erniu to speak again, she walked straight away.

“Hey, why are you leaving?” Liu Erniu shouted several times behind Hu Mei, who did not turn around from the beginning to the end.

“I didn’t mess with her, did I? How come she doesn’t even care about me anymore?” Liu Erniu was puzzled.

Wang Xiuzhi: “……”

Liu Erniu thought of Hu Mei’s words afterward, “What? Her Old Song was robbed of his chance to make a name for himself?”

“Vice Division Commander Pei? Can’t be, my old Zhao said, Vice Division Commander Pei is awesome, old Zhao is convinced.”

Wang Xiuzhi shook her head, “Listen to her nonsense, that who is out of the head is the top of the decision, we can not get involved, she is bewildered, in the future less to come together.”

Liu Erniu pursed her lips, “No more interaction. I’m not without a temper, she gave me a face I do not have the right to go back to the hot face to cold ass.”

******

Lu Nong came home and drank a large glass of water hard, just put down the cup, was pulled by Pei Silk An to sit on the stool.

Pei Jingan squatted down and rolled up Lu Neng’s pants leg, Lu Neng’s leg was bruised and red, the injury had already coagulated but blood could still be seen, he frowned fiercely and asked, “How did you hurt yourself?”

“How did you see it?” Lu Nong was quite amazed, Pei Shenan was also too powerful to be able to tell this.

Wu Ma also saw Lu Nong’s injured leg, blamed Lu Nong careless, into the house to bring medicine to Pei Silk An, the smell of medicine is heavy, Wu Ma took Xiaohuai and Xiaoyu into the inner room to eat, leaving Pei Silk An and Lu Nong in the living room outside.

“You walk with one foot light and one foot heavy, what’s there to see.” Pei Jingan said indifferently, patiently applying medicine to Lu Nong.

As expected, nothing can escape Pei Jing An’s eyes, she thought about it and told the process of her injury, otherwise when others tell Pei Jing An later, maybe the old colorful batch will take the opportunity to “punish” her again.

Upon hearing Lu Nong kick the person who pushed her down and didn’t apologize, Pei Jingan sighed and rubbed his brow saying, “Don’t be impulsive in the future, what if you can’t beat him?”

“The troops will leave for maneuvers in a few days, and won’t be able to return for ten days and half a month, this is just a drill, in case I go to war one day, it’s very likely that I won’t be able to contact my family for a year or two, and when that time comes and you’re so impulsive, there’s no way for me to have peace of mind.”

“Be good, don’t let me worry okay?” Pei Jingan said solemnly.

Lu Nu tilted her head, she didn’t feel impulsive, all the decisions she made were based on her own judgment of her opponents, fight if you can beat them, run if you can’t, this point of reason Lu Nu still understands.

Pei Jing’an should have understood her, and had never expressed misgivings about this aspect of her before, but today he said so, and Lu Nu always felt that Pei Jing’an’s attitude was not right.

Exercise, go to war ……

Smart as Lu Nong had a hidden guess in her heart, her heart sank, was it what she thought?

Lu Nong lying into Pei Silk An’s arms, the battlefield guns without eyes, at any time will lose their lives, the god of death fair treatment of every warrior, private Lu Nong does not want Pei Silk An on the battlefield at all.

But Pei Jingan had said that the country was in front, the soldiers had their own mission, she couldn’t stop it.

She didn’t know whether Pei Silent An had gone to the battlefield later in the original, only knowing that Pei Silent An in the original lived to the end of his life, but her arrival changed Pei Silent An’s fate, and everything became unknown.

Once upon a time, how much Lu Nong was looking forward to the future, how much she was afraid now, she couldn’t show this fear and wrapped her arms around Pei Yinan’s neck and said, “Okay, I promise you.”

Pei Jing’an hugged Lu Nong back and gently patted her back, as if giving her comfort and silent apologies, and the two were silent for a long time.

In the middle of the day, Lu Nong came out of Pei Yin An’s arms, winked and said, “Didn’t you say you were hungry? Let’s eat, I’m going to design my secret garden after eating, you come and help oh.”

Pei Shenan: “Secret garden?”

“Yes, my secret garden, didn’t you say you were leaving? I won’t be able to see what it finally looks like until you come back, it’s a secret to you too, isn’t it?”

Pei Jingan lost his smile, always knew that his little wife liked all things pretty and romantic, in the capital city would still be a little restrained, to the mountains, her whole person let go.

But this is good, his original intention of taking her out of the capital city was to let her live freely and unhindered.
