Although a briefing meeting had been held in advance, and the Lu family had to keep the matter between Jiang Yao and Lu Che a secret, the old lady still came up with the specifications for receiving her future in-laws and expressed her warm feelings to Jiang Zhen welcome.
"Brother, this is Grandma Lu, Sister Lu Qing, Lu Che, and Sister Lu Qing's two children."
Jiang Yao did not forget to give the Lu family a good impression in front of her big brother.... introducing with good intention..
"I went to the countryside during this period. Time has been greatly helped by them, Grandma Lu provided me with accommodation, and Sister Lu Qing and Lu Che often help me with farm work."
"My sister has really troubled you all this time, and I am very grateful for your care for her." Jiang Zhen shook hands with them one by one and thanked them.
"Lu Che, thank you for taking care of my sister." Jiang Zhen extended his hand to Lu Che.
Lu che :
"This is what I should do, you are too kind, big brother."
“…”
The air was suddenly stagnant, Jiang Yao obviously saw Jiang Zhen's face stiff, she changed the subject in time and said
"Brother, the room is already tidied up, you are tired all the way, go take a bath and sleep first. Let's enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival together tonight."
"Okay." Jiang Zhen responded, said a few words to Mrs. Lu, and followed Jiang Yao out of the main room.
When she entered the room, only Jiang Yao and Jiang Zhen were in the room, she recovered from the excitement of being with her relatives, and suddenly she didn't know how to get along with her " big brother", after all they were not together more than two years
"Brother, put your things away first, take a bath, get up after a nap, and then clean up." Jiang Yao found a reason for herself to retreat.
Jiang Zhen didn't find anything wrong with his " baby sister", so he answered
"ok"
then pulled out a piece of pork and handed it to her,
"I just passed by the county town and bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative. Let's cook it for all ... Take advantage of today's holiday and say thank you too Lu family."
When Jiang Yao took Jiang Zhen to the bathroom, Lu che had already arranged the water.
"Thank you so much."
Jiang Zhen thanked Lu Che before entering the bathroom.
While Jiang Zhen was taking a bath, Jiang Yao pulled Lu Che to the kitchen and said,
"Why did you call brother just now?"
"I'm sorry."
Lu Che said with grievance
: "The first time I saw my brother-in-law, I was inevitably nervous...i dont how to behave..."
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Jiang Yao couldn't bear to continue blaming him, and only said,
"Then you should be careful these few days, don't reveal your secrets."
"Okay." Lu Che nodded solemnly.
"Okay, you go out first, I'm going to cook, you squeeze in, it's not good for my brother to see us like this"
Jiang Yao said, and saw two pigs hanging in the kitchen The hoof and the two big bones couldn't help laughing
: "My brother also bought a pound and a half of meat. This Mid-Autumn Festival is really better than the New Year's Eve."
Lu Che looked at the large piece of pork in her hand, and couldn't help but said
: "It's so shameless, I originally wanted to treat my brother-in-law to a good meal, who knows he will come up with meat to treat us."
Jiang Yao: “…”
In order not to lose face in front of the eldest brother, Lu Che was cruel and slaughtered a chicken directly.
Jiang Yao was stewing the pig's trotters, and when she saw the chicken that had been peeled cleanly, she laughed and cried,
"Are you going to finish this year's meat today?"
"Yes, even if there is no meat the New Year for us , I will still treat my brother-in-law best....whatever i have...My grandmother also said that we must not be humble in front of our in-laws."
Lu Che handed the chicken to Jiang Yao,
"cook as he like... I'm off to work."
In this case, Jiang Yao also lived up to such a rich food.
She cut half a catty of pork belly and made a pork belly with plum vegetables to eat at noon. As for dinner, it was very rich, including mushroom soup, white cut chicken, brine pig trotters, Dongpo Meat, kelp salad, and a few vegetables.
Lu Che got off work at midnight. When he got home, the Lu family's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was about to begin.
Jiang Zhen was invited to the seat, Jiang Yao sat with him, but she deliberately chose not to be with Lu Che.
Her behavior that has no silver in this place received a meaningful gaze from Lu Che.
"Grandma Lu, such a sumptuous dish really cost you too much." Jiang Zhen sat down and said.
"Where?"
The old lady was very satisfied when he heard him say "rich", and said with a smile
"You brought all the pork, we just made up a little bit. Besides, The dishes on this table are all thanks to Yaoyao, we can't make such delicious dishes."
"What ?? Yaoyao?"
Jiang Zhen looked sideways at Jiang Yao in disbelief.
Jiang Yao said calmly,
"I have learned these things since I went to the countryside, brother, you should try it quickly."
Then, she gave Jiang Zhen a piece of Dongpo meat.
The dishes on this table originally looked very appetizing, but when he tasted them now, the taste was worthy of their appearance.
" It seems like a good thing now, you have gained experience and grown up."
"Yes, Yaoyao is a good worker."
"Yes, Yaoyao is very motivated."
“…”
Everyone tried their best to blow the rainbow fart to Jiang Yao in front of Jiang Zhen.
After dinner, everyone moved to the courtyard to enjoy the moon while eating moon cakes made by Jiang Yao.
Everyone chatted casually, and Zhou Yang and Zhou Xin had a natural affection for Jiang Zhen, because he and their father were both soldiers, so they kept pestering him and asking questions.
Jiang Zhen was also patient, and answered all the brother and sister's unrestrained questions one by one.
Lu Che and Jiang Yao sat opposite each other, far apart, and occasionally their eyes met in the air, and they basically didn't speak all night.
But this time it was all sneaky, always on guard against Jiang Zhen.
Wait until after nine o'clock in the evening, the moon viewing will not end. After packing up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
"Let me go in your room and take a look."
Jiang Zhen said suddenly when he walked to the door of Jiang Yao's room.
"Okay." Jiang Yao opened the door and went to light the kerosene lamp.
When the kerosene lamp came on, Jiang Yao was about to call Jiang Zhen to sit when she heard him say,
"You and Lu Che are with each other."
Jiang Zhen noticed that Jiang Yao is behavior is wrong and it started when she sent a telegram to let him send seeds.
His sister, he knows best. Although she has a good heart, she has been spoiled by his parents and guarded by his grandparents... loved by him as (elder brother) since she was a child. In addition to being self-willed, she is also a little lazy. No, she should be very lazy....like pig
She refused the job that his old leader had arranged for her, and it was surprising enough to go to the countryside, and now she even volunteered to send seeds to grow vegetables.
However, an environment can change a person, maybe jumping in line can really make her change.
Until he received a letter from her a few days ago, saying that he would not need to send her money in the future, and when she was able to support herself, he could no longer sit still.
No matter how much you can train people in the countryside, it is impossible to completely change a person's nature in just a few months.
At that time, he felt that something must have happened to Jiang Yao in the countryside, and he must have a look to be relieved.
At that time, he completed a major task, and the camp granted him a few days of leave, so he took the opportunity to ask for family leave and rushed to the Qingyuan production team.
"Brother... how did you... know?"
Jiang Yao met Jiang Zhen's incomparably sure eyes, and didn't even quibble.
Jiang Zhen chuckled lightly and said,
"You two are performing drama under my eyelids. If I still can't see it, my scout should be laid off."
Jiang Yao didn't look like her big brother was angry, she climbed up the pole, put her arms around his shoulders, and blew rainbow farts while acting coquettishly
: "Brother, you are so powerful, you really can do anything. I can't hide anything from you."
"Okay, I refuse these sugar-coated cannonballs." Jiang Zhen said, his face restrained, and said
: "I looked at the Lu family's house, their family background should be not good, but I think things are going well, and I believe Lu Che is a responsible person."
"That's right, you're right as you see it."
Hearing her elder brother praising her object, Jiang Yao couldn't be more happy, she immediately said good things to Lu Che
: "He is really a very good person. A hard-working person, he is never lazy when he goes to work, even if his background is not good, he uses his strength to make himself mire than ten earning points a day. He is very active in sideline business and going to the market.”
"Also, he is also kind to me. He fetches water and firewood for me every day, and he doesn't let me do heavy work. Although I have moved from the city to the countryside now, I live better than before.... Comfortable."
In the end, the smile on her face was so happy that she couldn't hold back.
Jiang Zhen looked at his sister and knew that she was completely trapped.
This Lu Che, he can't say that he is particularly satisfied, but he can't make mistakes, and he feels uncomfortable, probably because his sister, who has been in his hand for many years, was "robbed".
As she expected, Jiang Zhen is still felt uncomfortable thinking about this
Jiang Yao said
"Brother, I know you are worried about me, but now the educated youth of the production team is a dilapidated house, I can't move back to live. There are also other members who borrow other farmers' homes. you also know that I am beautiful, no matter which farmhouse I live in, the women in that house are all guarding me like a wolf, do you think I can still have a good life?"
"I see."
Jiang Zhen said after a long while,
"Go and call Lu Che to my room."
After speaking, Jiang Yao walked out of her room without giving Jiang Yao a chance to ask questions.
“…”
Jiang Yao didn't know what Jiang Zhen wanted to do with Lu Che.
At first, it seemed that his attitude towards his relationship with Lu Che was very peaceful.
She was complacent for a moment, but the reaction was too quiet, which made her feel An anxiety arose.... she went to Lu che...
"If my brother beats you later, don't stand stupidly, remember to run."
Jiang Yao warned while pulling Lu Che to Jiang Zhen's room.
hid future brother-in-law asked him to talk alone.
Although Lu Che was a little nervous, he believed Jiang Zhen and comforted Jiang Yao
: "It's okay, your brother is a soldier, not a rogue, he won't beat people."
"You think too simplistically. Now my brother is not as a soldier as you are a family of soldiers and civilians, but as a brother to negotiate with a bad guy who hooked up his sister."
Listening to Jiang Yao's words, Lu Che was a little dumbfounded,
"Are you trying to appease me or scare me?"
"...Sorry, I'm too nervous." Jiang Yao patted her chest and whispered
"It's okay, I'm outside, I'll rush in as soon as i hear something wrong ok"
While they were talking, they had come to Jiang Zhen's room.
The door was open, Jiang Yao walked in Jiang Zhen room, and said with a
ha. ...ha
"Brother, Lu Che is here, if you have anything to say, if he doesn't listen, you asked me I'll instruct him...ok "
Jiang Zhen glanced at Jiang Yao, shook his hand, and said
"It's getting late, you go to bed quickly, and remember to close the door when you go out."
"...It's still very early, I'm not sleepy."
Jiang Yao was struggling, but Jiang Zhen didn't give her a chance at all. With a sharp look, she obediently exited the stage and closed the door .
"Brother, if you have anything, just tell me." Lu Che sat upright.
Jiang Zhen saw that he had no stage fright at all, and he appreciated him two more points.
He shouted to the door
: "The lazy pig...who are eavesdropping outside, hurry back to your room and lock up, otherwise I'll deal with you with military law "
Jiang Yao, who was eavesdropping on the door panel, pursed her lips unconvinced, and went back to her room in despair.
When the footsteps were gone, Jiang Zhen walked towards Lu Che, and then unexpectedly threw a fist....
Lu Che's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he ducked to the side, and his fist brushed past his face.
Jiang Zhen saw his reaction speed, raised a satisfied corner of his lips, and said
"This skill is not bad, there should be no problem in protecting my Yaoyao."
"Thank you brother, I promise to protect Yaoyao for a lifetime."
Lu Che immediately expressed his loyalty.
"Stop, don't call me brother, I'm not your brother yet."
Jiang Zhen interrupted without hesitation,
"I'm about the same age as you, you can just call my name."
"Okay, bro."
“…”
"Sit down."
Jiang Zhen said and took the seat first, and Lu Che sat down immediately.
"How long have you been with Yaoyao?"
Jiang Zhen asked.
Lu Che answered without hesitation
: "Sixty-three days."
"..."
Jiang Zhen was a little surprised at his accuracy, and asked,
"Did you know that she liked Zhao Pengfei before?"
"I know." Lu Che's answer was unusual.
Jiang Zhen looked at him, not missing any expression on his face, and asked,
"Do you mind?"
"Never mind, it was past.. it maybe just attraction of teenage...everyone experienced ?"
Jiang Zhen didn't care much about him, and said,
"It sounds like you have a lot of experience "in the past"?"
"No." Lu Che blurted out
"Before I met Yaoyao, I didn't like other women."
"Really not? Although you are from a bad background, you should be very popular with girls because of your appearance." Jiang Zhen didn't plan to let him go on this issue.
Really not."
Lu Che looked at Jiang Zhen and said frankly
"There were indeed girls who expressed their feelings to me before, but I didn't like them, and I have refused. Brother, if you don't believe me, I can swear."
Speaking, Lu Che was about to raise the middle three fingers, but Jiang Zhen stopped him in time,
"Okay, I believe you, I just want to confirm with you, do you really care about Yaoyao ? After all its about another man....Zhao Pengfei? you just get together now, you can accept anything under the name of love but after a long time later, you'll take it out and turn your back on her....or abuse or accuse her...then what"
"I really don't care."
Lu Che's face was full of seriousness,
"I don't care what Yaoyao did in the past, as long as she likes me now. Also, she changed from liking Zhao Pengfei to liking me now... with our love she also changed too... maybe for my love..
doesn't that prove that I am better than Zhao Pengfei?"
"It's good to have that confidence."
Jiang Zhen patted Lu Che on the shoulder, just when he thought the conversation was over, Jiang Zhen suddenly said,
"Have you ever bullied Yaoyao?"
What does "bullying" mean here, Lu Che understood after being stunned for three seconds, he said,
"No."
"No"
"Really not?"
Jiang Zhen stared at Lu Che like a torch.
Lu Che shook his head firmly, "No."
"It's fine if you don't."
Jiang Zhen patted Lu Che's shoulder comfortably again, when he was about to take a deep breath, Jiang Zhen asked again
: "You are young and full of energy, Haven't thought about it?"
"...I thought about it...but we are not married yet."
After half a second of hesitation, Lu Che answered honestly.
"You are honest."
Jiang Zhen said
: "Before you get married, just think about it. If you really bully my Yaoyao, I will shoot you."
Lu che :
"I'll control of myself."
"Okay, let's go back."
After walking out of Jiang Zhen's room, Lu Che took a heavy breath.
This eldest brother is really not easy to deal with, he has never been so nervous in his life.
Knowing that Jiang Yao was worried about him, Lu Che went to her room before returning to his room.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Yao pulled him, looked back and forth and found no wounds, so she let go of her dangling heart and asked
"What did my brother say to you?"
Lu Che explained to her one by one, and of course cut off the last question.
After Jiang Yao heard Lu Che's words, she was relieved, but about Zhao Pengfei.. they seemed to have never discussed this issue..till yet
She leaned against his arms, stretched out her fingers to draw circles on his chest, and asked,
"You...really don't mind, did I like Zhao Pengfei before?"
Before she was outside first time apart from her family members, it could be said that Zhao Pengfei was there for her as classmate or childhood friends who directly or indirectly help her....
but Lu Che was not stupid. .. He maybe know about her stupidity..
Lu Che looked down at her and asked,
"Do you like him or me now?"
"Of course it's you!" Jiang Yao said without thinking.
Lu Che listened, smiled, lowered his head and kissed her lips...passionately....
he knew and he can feel her love for him... who care about past... he is going love her to the limit that she will never have chance to leave him...
Because Jiang Zhen was at home today, the two did not dare to get close at all. Now that they are together, how can there be no reason not to kiss?
It's just that this kiss is too long, which led to the direct result that Lu Che had a reaction.
As soon as the front foot promised the brother-in-law to control himself, the back foot was already out of control.
Jiang Yao also clearly felt the change in his body. She was not conservative, but Jiang Zhen's room was not far away.
Also, she was not bold enough to invite Lu Che....for to do thing....
Just as she was struggling, Lu Che threw a sentence
"You rest early"
and ran away.
Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing when she saw him running back away.
Lu Che, who had already taken a bath, flushed cold water in the bathroom for a long time before returning to his room.
.....
It is August 15th, and there are still four and a half months before the Spring Festival.
If Jiang Yao agrees to marry him at that time, all preparations will take a month.
In other words, he must bear such a sweet burden, at least for while
These days are even more difficult to survive without her.. he want her... to rub her into his body.... to love her badly that she will beg him to stop...
...
The next day, Jiang Yao and Lu Qing went to the paper factory to pick up materials for handicraft as usual.
Lu Che asked her to accompany Jiang Zhen at home, but Jiang Zhen said she could do whatever she needed to do, leaving him alone.
After breakfast, Jiang Yao and Lu Qing set off.
After receiving the raw materials, on the way back,
“Yaoyao, Yaoyao…”
Walking halfway, Jiang Yao suddenly heard Zhu Xia shouting to her name from behind.
She stopped, and when Zhu Xia caught up, she asked,
"Is there anything wrong with running in such a hurry?"
"Something has happened."
Zhu Xia must have no idea what was going on when she saw her calm look.
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Yao asked.
Zhu Xia: "I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that on the night of Lin Fang's accident, you fell into the water and was rescued by Lu Che, and then he took you home, and then...then..."
Zhu Xia couldn't say what happened next, but Jiang Yao understood what she meant, it was nothing more than that she had a "good time "with Lu Che that night.
"When did it come out? Did you say anything else?" Jiang Yao asked.
Zhu Xia: "I don't know either. When I woke up this morning, I heard Aunt Tian's eldest daughter-in-law talking. I'll come and tell you as soon as I know. Lu Che and you lives under one roof, it's impossible to deal with people normally, it must be... already a real couple... living in one room. "
The more she talked, the more anxious Zhu Xia became, she reached out and took Jiang Yao's hand and said,
"Yaoyao, I know you are not that kind of person, but in this environment, you are still Move out of the Lu family first and live with me."
"No."
Jiang Yao didn't have the slightest room for negotiation, and said,
"I haven't done this before. If I move now, does it make me feel guilty?"
"That's right, but didn't you say your brother was coming? If he hears such a rumor..."
Before Zhu Xia's words were finished, Jiang Yao hurried to Lu's house.
Oh my god...how could she forget that the big Buddha Jiang Zhen is still there? It was difficult for him to accept that she was with Lu Che. If he found out about this, he would beat the mandarin ducks every minute.
She ran back desperately, thinking in her heart that Jiang Zhen must not be allowed to go out today, no, it is that he must not be allowed to go out these days.
Seeing that he was about to run to the door of Lu's house, victory was ahead, and then he saw Jiang Zhen coming from another direction.
"Brother...how did you...go out? Go...where?"
Jiang Yao gasped and told Jiang Zhen that she wanted to see from his face that he didn't hear the rumors , but he said,
"call Lu Che back for me immediately"
announcing that he has understood the matter.
.....
"Tell me, what the heck is going on?"
Jiang Zhen patted the table hard, and pointed to Jiang Yao and Lu Che in front of him, his face completely black.
Jiang Yao and Lu Che were like two children who did something wrong, they stood respectfully and when they heard the sound
Jiang Yao replied,
"I was drugged that night and jumped into the pond...to calm myself...... but Lu che save me....but i was under the control of drug ...When the temperature hit Lu Che, he knocked me out and carried me home, I slept here for one night, and went back the next day."
"That's it?" Jiang Zhen asked.
Jiang Yao: "That's it."
"Shut up first." Jiang Zhen
pointed to Lu Che and said
"Look at me and tell me if it's what Yaoyao said."
"Yes."
Lu Che met Jiang Zhen's eyes without flinching.
Jiang Zhen was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, only to realize that he had missed an important point, and asked Jiang Yao
: "You .... drugged by...? Who dare?"
"How do I know?"
Jiang Yao whispered... speak like whole world wrong her
"You wanted me to move out last night, you didn't even know I was alone here How dangerous is it out there."
When she said this, Jiang Zhen didn't remember to blame, and only felt distressed. He sighed lightly and said,
"Who spread this out? Do you have any clues?"
When Zhu Xia told Jiang Yao just now, she already knew who did it.
Knowing that she left the educated youth point that night, who else but Du Yuejiao? Although she didn't see where she ran that night with her own eyes, by contacting back and forth, she could guess.
However, she can't find Du Yuejiao at this time. If she push her into a hurry and shake out the fact that she is the person who gave her medicine, it will become very complicated.... there is no evidence
Since Du Yuejiao doesn't want to be a good person, she will teach her to be a good person.
However, this is not a good time to point out her.
