"What happened to Boss these days?" Wang Qiaoping asked, looking at Lu Yongguo's back.
Cree Yaqian shook her head: "I don't know, it's been like this for a long time."
"I'm not talking about you, boss. He has been in the city for such a long time, and the couple spends less time together and more apart. You should also go into the city to have a look from time to time.
Your family doesn't force you to do much work. You can carry An An on your back when you have nothing to do, go shopping in the city, buy some things, and take care of your own man.
Wang Qiaoping's words were very cryptic, but Cree Yaqian knew that she must have noticed something was wrong.
"I know." She only responded.
"Okay, okay, let's eat." Wang Qiaoping pulled her to sit down.
"Forget it if he doesn't eat. Let's eat more." She put several pieces of meat into Cree Yaqian's bowl.
But there was something on her mind, and Que Yaqian had no appetite for food.
After finishing the meal, when he returned to the bedroom, Lu Yongguo was already lying on the bed and asleep.
When did he start sleeping on the bed?
Cree Yaqian remembered that when he first came to the city, he couldn't see her for a week. When he came back, he was like a cat. No matter how much work he did during the day, he would still cling to her at night and not let go.
"Yongguo, Yongguo..." Cree Yaqian stepped forward and pushed him.
"Um?"
Lu Yongguo seemed to be extremely sleepy and responded in confusion, but he didn't even open his eyes.
"Go and wash up before going to sleep." Que Yaqian said.
"Okay, I'll go there later."
Lu Yongguo responded, but his body couldn't move and his eyelids closed again.
"well."
Cree Yaqian sighed.
Having no other choice, she took off Lu Yongguo's cotton-padded clothes and pulled the quilt to cover half of his body.
Why don't you and An An sleep in her little bed tonight?
While she was thinking about it, she hung up Lu Yongguo's coat, but when she shook her hand, something swayed and fell out of her pocket.
"What is it?"
Curiously, Que Yaqian knelt down and picked it up.
Actually, two movie tickets.
Cree Yaqian's head suddenly buzzed.
She was waiting eagerly for his return at home, waiting from dawn to dusk at the entrance of the village, but he was watching a movie with others?
If you smell it carefully, there is still a strong fragrance on the movie ticket.
It was the girl who let it go.
**
Lu Yongguo fell asleep for a while, and suddenly remembered that Cree Yaqian loved cleanliness and had asked him before not to go to bed without washing his feet.
He was so tired that he even forgot.
He quickly got up and went to the kitchen to fetch water, wash his face and feet.
There was no hot water, so I could only make do with cold water.
The cold water makes people sober up a lot.
When he returned to the house, he subconsciously went to hug his wife, but when he reached out and touched her, the place next to her was empty. The place that belonged to Chu Yaqian was ice cold.
"Ya Qian?"
Lu Yongguo was so excited.
When I turned around, I noticed a figure in the darkness.
"call……"
Lu Yongguo breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death. You didn't sleep at night. What were you doing sitting there?"
"Yongguo..." Cree Yaqian's voice was a little muffled.
"Did something happen to you in the unit?" She wanted to ask one last time.
Just once, no matter what he says, she will believe him.
"No."
"Oh, that's right!" Lu Yongguo suddenly remembered something, took something out of his trouser pocket and stuffed it into Cree Yaqian's hand.
"My salary was paid today, so I bought you this."
"What is it?" Cree Yaqian asked somewhat coldly.
"Alabaster, it smells so good when you put it on your face."
It's delicious, as delicious as that movie ticket.
"It's so good, why did you think of buying this?" Que Yaqian asked.
He is a straight man, when did he start to understand women’s facial oil?
"I saw that all the female colleagues in the workplace wear this, so I thought about buying one for you too."
"Which female colleague?"
Cree Yaqian followed up with a sentence.
Lu Yongguo was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Cree Yaqian.
"Yaqian, what's wrong with you?"
She had been so strange from the beginning. When he came back from buying something for her from outside, instead of being grateful at all, she was aggressive and asking questions.
"What's wrong with me?" Cree Yaqian wanted to laugh.
"I would like to ask you what's wrong?"
Lu Yongguo was silent for a moment, squatted in front of her, and reached out to hold her hand: "Is it because I'm usually not by your side, making you think too much?"
He realized that his daughter-in-law was sitting there in a daze in the middle of the night, and she must have something on her mind.
"I'm sorry." He apologized first.
"I was negligent. A lot of things happened in the unit during this period, and I didn't take your feelings into consideration."
"What kind of thing is it?" Que Yaqian asked.
"yes……"
Lu Yongguo hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "During this period, the leaders of my unit gave me a lot of shoes to wear."
"It's okay to give me a lot of work. Today, something belonging to a colleague fell off. It was clear that I was not on duty that day, but the leader insisted on putting a hat on my head. He took the entire security department to investigate for a long time, but nothing was found.
This is why.
So, I came back late.
Are you angry after waiting for a long time at the entrance of the village?"
He squatted in front of her and looked up at her. The surroundings were dark and he couldn't see clearly, it was hazy, like a big wolf dog.
Is it because you came back late?
Cree Yaqian didn't ask about the movie tickets.
She said that as long as he said it, she would believe it.
"How long have these things been happening?" she simply asked.
"It's been a long time, about... half a year."
Calculating the time, it was indeed half a year since he started to worry a lot.
"It's been half a year, why have you never told me? How did you get here for such a long time?"
She knew Lu Yongguo well. He was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but he was afraid of being wronged and being criticized.
He is very stupid and won't defend himself.
Lu Yaqian's words made Lu Yongguo startled.
He never told Cree Yaqian about this matter because he thought she would be worried and afraid that he would not be able to do his job and would have no confidence in his future life.
But I never thought that the first thing she asked was, how did it take you so long to come here.
"What's wrong?"
Cree Yaqian asked worriedly as she didn't hear Lu Yongguo's answer for a long time.
"Ah……"
Lu Yongguo laughed out loud.
"I'm so stupid." He took Cree Yaqian's hand.
How could he underestimate his daughter-in-law so much?
"Yongguo."
He heard Cree Yaqian calling him.
Que Yaqian stroked his hair with one hand. His hair was stiff, and her fingers ran through his hair. It really seemed like she was stroking a big wolf dog.
"If this job is really so unhappy, then let's not do it," she said.
"No more? What should you and An An do?"
"There will always be a way." Que Yaqian said: "I read the newspaper a few days ago, and it said that many places have now implemented household responsibility for production. You can grow and eat by yourself, and many villages are conducting trial production.
I think no matter what, I will earn more than before.
I didn’t starve to death during three difficult years, is it possible that I can starve to death now?”
