On the other hand, she is also worried that her "brother" will use this to force her to remarry.
Of course, regarding this second worry, Liu Lan doesn’t know whether she wants it to happen or not.
If "brother" really does this, does it prove that the other person is just like you and is really moved?
But it’s impossible for her to remarry. Wouldn’t that bring more sadness and regret to the other party and herself?
If her "brother" hadn't done this, although everyone would be happy with the result, it would also prove that this was just her own wishful thinking, and she would inevitably feel a little sad.
Liu Lan also thought about not telling the other party that she was pregnant, and just gave a random excuse, saying that there was something going on at home and she couldn't let it go.
But in her heart, she was afraid that she would lose contact with her "brother". It would be really difficult for her to meet such a capable nobleman who would take care of her in everything in the future.
After thinking about it, Liu Lan couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy both needs. So throughout the day, she was involved in all kinds of strange emotions.
Fortunately, her colleagues in the kitchen took care of her and let her rest even after they knew she was pregnant. Otherwise, she really didn't know how much trouble she could cause in the end of the day.
Now her "brother" has spoken, but she still doesn't know the best way to reply.
In the darkness, she couldn't see clearly the expression on the other person's face. She could only see the flickering cigarette butts in her "brother's" fingertips...
Suddenly, she vaguely seemed to see that this "brother" had gauze wrapped around his fingers...
Liu Lan used the dim light of the cigarette butt to carefully observe the gauze on her "brother's" finger. She remembered very clearly that He Yuzhu also had gauze wrapped around his finger.
Because the gauze on He Yuzhu’s finger was bandaged by her herself this afternoon.
After He Yuzhu finished cooking at noon, he insisted on working for her. As a result, water got into the wound on his finger, and the wound became infected and swollen again.
Liu Lan thought that He Yuzhu's finger became inflamed again because he was helping her with work, so she specially brought iodine and gauze from the factory hospital to bandage his wound.
She remembered that after bandaging and tying the knot, Ma Hua and He Yuzhu kept praising her for her skill and saying that the bow she tied was beautiful.
At this time, Liu Lan's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably. She felt a familiar feeling from her "brother" more than once, but she could never put it in words.
But at this moment, Liu Lan felt as if she had overlapped her "brother" and He Yuzhu for the first time...
He Yuzhu had smoked half a cigarette, but he hadn't heard the answer from his "sister" yet. He was also very confused, so he looked back at her.
It's okay not to look at it, but it's amazing to look at it. He Yuzhu used his night vision ability after rebirth and saw Liu Lan staring at the gauze on his finger in a daze.
He Yuzhu was shocked, how could he forget this?
Ever since I injured my finger at Deng Baoying’s house last time, the finger has been inflamed repeatedly.
The main reason is that He Yuzhu was worried about letting Deng Baoying help with the work, so he did everything himself. The wound was repeatedly exposed to water, so it never healed.
Originally, He Yuzhu thought that after the steel rolling mill resumed work, he would not need to go to Deng Baoying's house to cook, and his finger would heal soon.
After all, Ma Hua and Liu Lan are the ones doing the washing and cooking in the kitchen. Most of the time, he acts like an uncle and just opens his mouth.
But I didn't expect Liu Lan to be pregnant. As the "baby's father", he couldn't take care of others, so he should take care of her on a daily basis.
This caused his fingers to get wet again today, and Liu Lan personally bandaged him with the gauze this afternoon.
If she saw the gauze bow, his true identity would be self-evident.
Although he refused to admit it until death, Liu Lan could probably fool him today based on his admiration for his "brother", but it would still leave people with doubts.
For a moment, He Yuzhu was extremely panicked. After forcing himself to calm down, he immediately stamped out the half of the offending cigarette on the ground.
Then He Yuzhu was in the dark warehouse, arranging the gauze with his left hand, while pretending to be calm and smiling:
"Sister, if you haven't spoken for a long time, it's probably because you have too many customers that you can't even count them all at once..."
Just as he was talking, He Yuzhu saw Liu Lan groping towards his direction and said:
"Hey, brother, I'd like to...but in a short period of time, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell flour. Maybe something happened at home..."
When He Yuzhu saw Liu Lan like this, he knew that the gauze had attracted her attention, and she probably wanted to check it out in person.
Fortunately, he had already untied all the gauze at this time, and then He Yuzhu took out the bed that he had stored years ago from the portable space and gently placed it in the warehouse.
This bed and the cotton quilt on the bed were specially prepared by him to give Liu Lan a place to rest while selling flour. He didn't expect that they would come in handy now.
As He Yuzhu pulled cotton from the cotton quilt, he sighed in his heart. Fortunately, it was the 1960s. These cotton quilts were sewn directly with needles after the flower cover and quilt surface were arranged.
Moreover, his feet are quite thick now, so he can easily pull out some cotton for emergencies.
If this quilt now uses the same zipper he saw in his previous life, then he must be blinded right now.
While He Yuzhu was busy working, he did not forget to continue chatting with Liu Lan:
"What happened at home? Tell me about it and see if I can help..."
After wrapping the extracted cotton around his injured finger, He Yuzhu folded the long gauze into three folds, then randomly wrapped the gauze around his finger two or three times, tying a tight knot.
After finishing all this, He Yuzhu saw that Liu Lan was still groping, showing that she would not give up until she reached her goal, and she said perfunctorily:
"Hey, it's actually not a big deal..."
At this time, Liu Lan was groping around but also had doubts in her heart, even though it was hard to see inside the warehouse and everything was dark.
But she had just carefully observed the position where her "brother's" cigarette butt was lit, and it should be a good place, but why could she not reach anyone when she waved her hands around?
When he was confused, a bright light suddenly shot out in front of his eyes, and Liu Lan subconsciously covered his eyes with his right hand.
After his eyes briefly adjusted, Liu Lan saw his "brother" sitting upright on the bed with a smirk on his face, while his left hand was still in a groping posture.
Liu Lan instantly felt that she was being fucked by her "brother" like a fool. She was so embarrassed and angry that she rushed to the opposite side and greeted him with a punch.
"Brother, did you do this on purpose? You didn't turn on the flashlight at first, so that I could discredit it, and then you suddenly turned on the light to make me laugh..."
"Hey, I did it on purpose. I know this warehouse better than you. What's wrong..."
He Yuzhu looked at Liu Lan's blushing face and liked it so much that he grabbed the other person's little hand and started teasing her...
