Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 57
Qin Rou met the friend Lu Yan brought back.
He was wearing a white military uniform like Lu Yan, not so serious, with a pair of phoenix eyes, very gentle, a bit similar to her brother-in-law Chen Mian.
“Wife, this is my comrade-in-arms, Wang Yuanzheng, just call him Lao Wang.”
“Hello, Comrade Wang.”
“Hello.”
As she was welcoming a guest, Qin Rou wore light blue wide-leg pants and white shirt. The clothes were made by tailors in Guangcheng, it was simple and elegant.
All her hair was pulled loosely behind her head, revealing a bright and beautiful face with a few strands of fine hair around her ears, which made her look a lot more gentle.
“Come in and sit, I’ll bring the dishes out.”
Qin Rou cooked the dishes ahead of time, and Lu Yan went to help her serve the dishes. She prepared eight or nine dishes. The dishes included shrimp cake, fried fish steaks, fried scallops, boiled shrimps, conch pot, steamed shrimps, vinegared bean sprouts, shrimp slipped tofu soup and a pot of sweet and sour radishes.
Seeing that the coloring and fragrance were great, she thought that it must be Delicious, but Qin Rou liked one of the sweet and sour radishes the most.
As for the others… It was hard to say.
Her stomach made a sound, and Qin Rou could understand why those people said that they ate abalone and king crab with tears.
Eating too much seafood was also worrying.
The sweet and sour radish was especially suitable for her taste. She used small white radish produced locally in Qiongzhou Island. It was small and had plenty of juice! ! She sliced the small white radish into pieces the size of a coin, marinated with salt for half an hour, then added sugar, green kumquat, millet spicy, light soy sauce, garlic and ginger to make a sauce, put the radish in the sweet and sour seasoning, and marinated it in the juice for three hours. The radish was sweet and sour, very appetizing!
After serving the dishes, Lu Yan picked up his sleeves and said, “Lao Wang brought some blue crabs, I’ll steam them.”
“Let me.”
“Wife, don’t, let me do these little things, be careful with your hand,” Lu Yan glanced at her with a smile, then turned to go to the kitchen.
Qin Rou followed him to the kitchen door.
For the past two days, because Qin Rou was thinking about Tan Rou’s affairs, she was very annoyed, and angry with him, but when she saw the man that evening, her body burst out with infinite joy, which made her own heartbeat panic.
Seeing him, she couldn’t control the joy, just like the tears she had no control on, it became the instinct.
From the moment he stepped into the gate of Lu’s house, Wang Yuanzheng was stunned. He was like stepping on a landmine. There was a rumbling sound all around him, and everything changed.
The wife Lu Yan married was really beautiful and she was definitely the dream lover in the minds of most men. No wonder Lu Yan wanted to marry her once he saw her.
Her voice of speech was clear and sweet, gentle and pleasant.
Not to mention her way of dealing with people, her temperament and charm, and the gentleness and sweetness with which she talked to the children.
She was the ideal wife of a man.
Wang Yuanzheng: I’m afraid this little pepper was not too spicy, was she? ? ? ? ? Lu Yan, who didn’t eat spicy food, would love the peppers?
What made Wang Yuanzheng even more unbelievable was Comrade Lu Yan. He was particularly different. He didn’t say anything on the shore. As soon as he entered the door, he thought Chief Staff Officer Lu would be a jerk.
But Lu Yan spoke softly and politely, like a good and motivated young man.
Wang Yuanzheng secretly tutted: It’s not just from the honor guard, you Lao Lu came from the art troupe, right?
It was played in front of him.
Would this couple have agreed to sing and perform a play in front of him knowing that he was coming as a guest?
– I’ll see how you act.
Wang Yuanzheng snorted in his heart. They acted as a loving couple in front of him, but he could figure it out.
Lu Yan opened a bottle of white wine, poured a glass for Wang Yuanzheng and himself, and drank and ate vegetables.
Qin Rou placed the steamed blue crab on the table. At the time, the two children were full and went to the room to draw together. It was said that they had homework to do.
Wang Yuanzheng asked Lu Yan, “I met Zhou Wei before, and I told him that you married, but he was surprised at the time. What a coincidence, you married Qin Rou, and he thought it was Tan Rou, the girl you grew up with in the same colony.”
Qin Rou was going to go back to the kitchen to get the sauce, but was stunned on hearing it. She originally planned to ask Lu Yan about Tan Rou that night. But his comrade-in-arms asked him first.
She turned her head to look at Lu Yan, to see his reaction, but found him eating the snails with relish without raising his eyebrows.
What did he mean?
Even Wang Yuanzheng couldn’t understand Lu Yan’s reaction at the time. He didn’t seem to understand what he said at all.
“Lu Yan, why don’t you speak?”
“What? Hey, maybe I haven’t seen Zhou Wei for a few years.”
Was the focus now on Zhou Wei?
Wang Yuanzheng looked at Lu Yan with a look of mud that couldn’t support the wall (m. stupid), “I told him about your marriage, but he actually guessed that you married Qin Rou because you wanted to compete with your former friend Zhao Jianghong. Have you ever liked Tan Rou before, the little girl who grew up in the same colony as you? After she married Zhao Jianghong, you didn’t go to Zhao Jianghong’s wedding, and you broke contact with him for a woman.”
“What?!” Lu Yan threw the shell on the table, his handsome brows furrowed, “What are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about? Let’s talk about the coincidences, all coincidences are mostly intentional,” Wang Yuanzheng wasn’t stupid either, those who were engaged in political work were observant. When he saw Lu Yan’s reaction, he knew that there must be a misunderstanding behind it.
“Heck, this kind of coincidence, is it really a coincidence? Isn’t Zhou Wei effin sick?”
“When did I fall in love with someone? This is the first time I have been tempted in twenty-five years!”
The sauce dish in Qin Rou’s hand fell to the ground, and she quickly bent down to pick up the pieces.
“Don’t move, be careful, it will cut your hands, I’ll clean it up,” Lu Yan came over and cleaned up the ground neatly.
“You suddenly talked in such a loud voice just now, which startled me,” Qin Rou complained first, and quickly found a reason to suppress the panic in her heart.
——Lu Yan said that he was tempted for the first time in twenty-five years.
It was self-evident who the object of temptation was.
In front of outsiders, he said it so openly.
“I scared you, then I’ll be quiet.”
“Yeah,” Qin Rou nodded. Her ears were so hot that it almost spread to her cheeks, and an inexplicable joy filled her heart.
“What were you talking about just now, who is Tan Rou?”
Lu Yan was very frank. He would answer whatever she asked, and there was nothing to hide, “It happened many years ago.”
“Then why didn’t you go to your friend’s wedding?”
“To avoid suspicion.”Â
There was indeed something else, Lu Yan didn’t like Tan Rou, but she liked him, “When I was in the military academy, she wrote me many letters, but I didn’t open any of them, I returned them all to her.”
