Chapter 156: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 156: Wait a Bit Longer
Lin Jinfan saw the serious and meticulous expression on Bai Lu's face, smiled, and said, "It's okay. Those things were gifts from the villagers to you. Keep them to nourish your body."
"Rest early. I'll go back first."
After saying this, he left.
Bai Lu felt that Xiao Wei was acting strangely. He used to be unwilling to talk to outsiders, so why did he suddenly rush her away today?
But before she could ask her question, the little guy spoke first, "Did you have dinner with him today?"
The tone of his questioning couldn't be concealed.
Bai Lu swung her sleeve, dragging her little tail back to the house and closing the door. Then she said calmly, "Yes."
"Any problem?"
Xiao Wei felt that there was a big problem, "How can you have dinner with a man other than my brother?"
Bai Lu chuckled, "If that's the case, I shouldn't have dinner with you every day. What do you say?"
Xiao Wei looked serious, "I'm just a kid."
"Last time on your brother's birthday, didn't I have dinner with Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Haoyi?"
"They're different!"
"They are all men, why are they different?"
Xiao Wei furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and explained seriously, "They are my brother's brothers, but you are my brother's wife. It's normal for everyone to have dinner together."
This explanation was no different from not explaining at all.
Bai Lu raised an eyebrow, "Oh... so, according to you, your brother can have brothers, but I can't have friends?"
"I didn't mean that."
Xiao Wei scratched his head, quickly found the distinction, and said, "Big brother is a man, big brother's brothers are also men, but you are a woman, and your friends are men."
As Bai Lu walked towards the backyard vegetable garden, she said, "Wang Cuihua is also a woman."
"That's different. Why are you going to the backyard?" Xiao Wei noticed the deviation in the route and promptly stopped Bai Lu.
"I'm going to pick vegetables. It's getting dark, and it's time to prepare dinner." Bai Lu had eaten just in the afternoon and wasn't very hungry, but she couldn't let the flowers of the motherland go hungry.
The little guy said, "I've already prepared dinner."
Saying that, he pulled her back to the kitchen.
Bai Lu looked surprised, "Can you cook?"
"I can't cook?" Xiao Wei was very sure, and it seemed that Bai Lu had some memory gaps.
When Big Brother was often not at home, Bai Lu used to go to Li Shuixian to send money. When she didn't cook, if not him, then who cooked?
Bai Lu seemed to finally remember this issue and cleared her throat. She decisively raised her thumb to Xiao Wei, "You're amazing. What dishes did you make?"
Xiao Wei pulled Bai Lu to the stove and pointed at the pot lid, "Inside."
Bai Lu removed the lid, and a delicious aroma wafted out. "Steamed ribs with mushrooms on top, a pot of carrot rib soup, and a plate of garlic stir-fried vegetable hearts. You made so many dishes. Impressive!"
In the pot were four not-too-long bamboo slices, two horizontal and two vertical. On the bamboo slices were plates of vegetables, there was water at the bottom of the pot, just above the two bamboo slices, and there was charcoal in the stove hole without a fire, keeping the water in the pot warm.
The dishes naturally remained warm.
A wave of warmth surged in Bai Lu's heart. Feelings were mutual. If she treated them well, they would treat her well.
Both Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wei were good.
At the dinner table, Xiao Wei felt a bit awkward being looked at by Bai Lu. Even his usually stern little face blushed slightly.
"Is the food not good? Why do you keep looking at me?"
"It's delicious."
Bai Lu picked up a piece of ribs for the little guy, and her smile was particularly gentle, her voice soft, "Did you go to the market to buy vegetables after school? Did you buy two ribs, one for steaming and one for soup?"
Xiao Wei nodded, "Yes."
"How much did you spend?" Bai Lu asked.
Xiao Wei had heard this before. Whenever Bai Lu asked this question, it meant repaying the money.
Big Brother had been asked this question by her too.
Xiao Wei lowered his head to eat, "Not much."
To avoid further questioning, Xiao Wei also used the trick Bai Lu often used and changed the topic, "Did you often have dinner with that man before?"
"Who?" Bai Lu asked before remembering the events of the afternoon and nodded, "It's been a long time ago."
Many times, the original owner was falsely accused by Bai Chaojie and was confined by Li Xuelan without food. Lin Jinfan often brought food from home in an aluminum lunch box and handed it through the window for the original owner to eat. The soup and water were the same.
Seeing her lost in memories, Xiao Wei frowned. How could Bai Lu think of other men? She must think of Big Brother.
"My brother often had dinner with you. Every day, every meal, and even supper."
Bai Lu's recollection was interrupted, and she looked at the little guy with a serious face, his stubborn words making her smile involuntarily, "Yes, you're right. I often had dinner with your brother, just like having dinner with Lin Jinfan."
It was fine before, but as soon as the last sentence fell, Xiao Wei immediately retorted, "It's different."
"My brother is my brother, and he is him."
"Alright, alright, it's different. The dishes you cooked are delicious. You have the final say."
Xiao Wei: "..."
After dinner, Bai Lu and Xiao Wei packed up the fruits and vegetables given by the villagers, took a bath, washed clothes, hung them up, and the old clock on the wall rang eight, nine, and ten times. The main house's phone still hadn't rung.
Bai Lu, being pulled by Xiao Wei's sleeves, took a walk until her feet were almost numb, "Xiao Wei, your brother might be busy tonight."
Shouldn't we just give up waiting?
"No, he won't be. Just wait a bit longer." Xiao Wei didn't believe that his brother was so busy that he didn't even have time to make a phone call.
He called his brother at noon, and his brother answered. He would definitely call back in the evening.
His brother was so concerned about Bai Lu; he would definitely call to ask. Just wait a little longer, and the phone would ring.
Bai Lu really didn't want to leave, dragging her little tail back to the main house, "How about you wait here. I'll go back to my room and read. Don't close the door. If there's anything, just call me."
Xiao Wei thought this method was feasible.
Finally, her sleeve was released. Bai Lu went back to her room, sat by the window, picked up the book on the table, and opened it.
She read, looked, and under the moonlight outside the window, the brilliant and blooming roses were as beautiful as people.
Really beautiful, just like a person.
Bai Lu's mouth curled up slightly, her gaze containing the shadow of the flowers, slowly falling onto the book, making the words clearer between the lines.
Reading time always passed quickly.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang..."
The clock rang a total of eleven times.
Bai Lu closed the book, went out of the room, and sure enough, saw a little bald head sleeping on the table.
Helplessly smiling, she picked him up and carried him back to the room.
Maybe Xiao Cheng was really busy today and didn't have time to call back.
Before going to bed, Bai Lu took a look at the silent phone in the main house. She turned off the main house's light and closed the main house's door.
Back to her room to sleep.
Midnight.
Bai Lu had a dream.
She dreamed that a refrigerator fell from the sky, and it grew hands. It hugged her tightly, so tight that it seemed to embed her into the body of the refrigerator, making her shiver.
She subconsciously moved backward, and the refrigerator followed her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push away the refrigerator.
Until she said it was cold, the refrigerator disappeared.
But soon, another fireplace with hands descended from the sky, hugging her tightly.
