Yang Anxin pointed at a corner in the yard, where vegetables were planted, “Look. We are self-sufficient now. And those are all fresh and organic. I think your yard is quite large. You can let Lu have a small patch of land for planting some vegetables or fruit. What do you like to eat?”
Ai just wanted to cry. Because she was not only a duck egg washer, but a vegetable grower. Would she become a hog raiser one day? Thinking about this, she couldn’t help feeling sick, which strengthened her determination to leave.
She reluctantly smiled and said, “I do not like fruit.”
So there is no need to plant anything. That’s smart.
“Even if you do not like it, you can have some for Lu. He likes it.” Yang smiled and said, “He was so considerate to you, much better than Pei is.”
This brought the embarrassing experience to her mind that she was carried on Lu’s shoulders on the street. Her lips were twitching, “What? Why I didn’t feel it?”
Yang knocked on her forehead, “You don’t know how lucky you are. You must live a life like a queen. He didn’t let you do any drudgery, right? But when I just came here, I was asked to do chores before I could get a sip of water. Everything needs me. He looks like an easy-going man, but he actually does nothing at home, and always waits for being served. But Lu is absolutely different. He is stern but never forces you to do chores at least.”
Ai thought, it was the case. Lu even asked someone to send her the meal. She even never swept the floor.
The atmosphere seemed to be embarrassing. She covered her embarrassment with a cough and said, “That’s because we are just married, he was not comfortable with asking me to do things for him. Perhaps Du and Song will also be nice to their wives.”
Yang switched the topics to Du Yucheng. She tried to hear something about Du from Yang.
Yang didn’t perceive that. He just nodded and said, “Shizhang looks like a chauvinist. He is a casual man though, he treats others nicely. When it comes to Yucheng, he is the same as Lu, stern, but is a gentleman. He probably will not fight with his wife.”
“Are...you familiar with Du?” Ai asked carefully.
“Just nodding acquaintance. He lives a little far away and not the straightforward type of person like Song. So we do not meet often and talk much. To be honest, I don’t know him well.”
So that means she has no idea about what happened to him? Ai was disappointed.
“Why you asked about him suddenly?” Yang raised her head, looking at Ai with surprise and strangeness as well.
If Ai wasn’t married, she would joke that whether she had crush on Du. But since she just married Lu, this quite perplexed her.
Ai was frightened with a start. She knew that she was acting too obviously.
After a while she pretended to be calm and smiled, “I am just asking, because he...he seems to be very close to Lu.”
This reason can make sense. Yang withdrew her eyesight without any doubt, “Well. He used to be comrades in army with Lu, in the same division. And he was appointed to be here with Lu together this time. You can ask Lu if you want to know something.”
“ Oh. Nothing.” Asking him? How could she do it? Her intention will probably be revealed by him with several words.
Although time seemed to pass by quickly when working, washing hundreds of duck eggs was a tough job. And because of height, Ai had to bend down and she got a pain in the back when she was doing the fiftieth one.
Ai patted on her back, “ Anxin, can we ask someone for help?” There are so many men in the troops. Any of them can easily cope with these damned duck eggs.
“There is nobody here. All of them are out for training.”
“What? All of them?” So Du must be included. NO! This is not what she wants.
“Of course. And there is one young cook left, who was deliberately left by Lu. I guess she was left to cook for you. He even worries about whether you are eating well.” Yang did with several eggs and shook off water on her hands, “If he comes here and tells me about that, I must cook food for you.”
“He...must feel awkward to bother you.” She explained for Lu though, but cursed him inside. No wonder he left without worry, because Du would go with him.
What a scheming man! If he had not carried me away at noon, I must have had a word with Du and known the situation and had packed up with my stuff and gone away. And how could I need to wash those miserably!
Duhhhh!!
