Chapter 73 How to sleep tonight?
The couple returned home one after another. Zuo Jingyan felt that it was necessary to explain to him. After all, she was using his wife's name to avoid making noise and worrying her mother-in-law when she entered the house. When she arrived at the door of the house, she stopped and looked at Lu Hao calmly.
Ting said:
"Lu Haoting, I know you have doubts in your heart. Although I have a clear conscience, after all, you are still my husband in name only, so I still want to make it clear to you.
The man Li Aimei mentioned who drove to pick me up was the client’s brother. He took me to the province to buy hairdressing tools. I stayed at the Bayi Guest House that day. We had two rooms, 204 and 208. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the guest house.
After checking, Xiaoyu also knew about this. Originally, she wanted to go with him, but she didn't go because she got motion sick!
When I came back from the provincial capital on Sunday, I took Xiaoyu by car to pick up Xiaoyu and went to the county to do makeup and make-up for the bride. That night we stayed at the bride's house. That's all. Whether you believe it or not, I will only say it once."
Lu Haoting listened quietly without interrupting Zuo Jingyan. His dark eyes did not change at all, and even the expression on his face was as calm as a thousand-year-old ancient well.
Seeing that Lu Haoting was silent, Zuo Jingyan took a deep breath and said to him:
"Okay, I'm done. If you want to quarrel, just stay here. Don't go into the house and make your mother worry."
Lu Haoting glanced at her and said calmly:
"I was also at the Bayi Guest House on Saturday night, staying in room 206."
Zuo Jingyan stared in shock and pointed at Lu Haoting:
"Ah? It's you who lives in 206? You're the one who kept me awake for half the night? That's right. When I was eating, I saw a soldier with a profile that looked like yours sitting in a jeep. What a coincidence.
!”
Lu Haoting:
"..."
Did she see him? Why didn't she yell? They lived next door, and he kept her awake for half the night? She didn't even think of taking a look!
But didn’t I hear her voice and didn’t check it out? It was a perfect miss!
Lu Haoting looked at her eyes carefully. They were as open and clear as water. He slightly curved the corners of his mouth. He felt inexplicably better and said to her:
"Come inside!"
Zuo Jingyan stopped him and whispered thanks:
"Thank you for helping me today - lying, and for helping me teach Li Aimei a lesson."
Lu Haoting's face is full of black lines. He also said that soldiers don't lie. It's really a slap in his face!
"What are you two doing standing at the door? Why don't you go into the house?"
Li Qiaoyun had been watching through the glass in the room for a long time. She was anxiously waiting for her daughter-in-law to come back and ask about her daughter's situation at school, but she saw the couple coming back together.
The two of them stood at the door and didn't know what to say. At first, her son's face was as dark as a pot, but she worried her to death. Fortunately, he started to smile and finally felt relieved.
"mom."
Zuo Jingyan called her mother, her crisp and sweet voice full of affection.
Lu Haoting looked at her slender back. She got along very well with her mother. She called her mother in a friendly and natural manner, just like kissing a girl.
He entered the house one step later than Zuo Jingyan. As soon as he entered the door, he heard his mother asking Zuo Jingyan:
"How is school? Xiaoyu is not scared, is he?"
Lu Haoting's heart moved. Did Zuo Jingyan send her sister to register at school?
Zuo Jingyan said with a smile:
"The school is very good. Xiaoyu is not afraid, so don't worry."
She didn't mention Liang Xiujuan's matter because she didn't want her mother-in-law to worry.
"That's good, that's good."
Li Qiaoyun rubbed her hands and said over and over again, with a trace of annoyance in her eyes. She had already followed her, why didn't she go to the school to have a look?
"Haoting, have you finished studying?"
After Li Qiaoyun finished caring about his daughter, he saw Lu Haoting standing at the door with his luggage bag, and started caring about his son again.
"Well, study is over!"
Lu Haoting just watched their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking. Unexpectedly, his mother suddenly asked him.
Li Qiaoyun looked at his son with relief. Qin Feng said that Haoting went to the cadre training class and would be very successful in the future!
The old Lu family has a promising man named Haoting. The eldest son is farming at home, and the third son works in the coal mine. They are all mediocre at first sight. If they want to honor their ancestors, they have to rely on Haoting.
Li Qiaoyun was happy and said to his son and daughter-in-law with a smile:
"You guys wash your hands quickly, I'll go get the food."
"Mom, let me help you."
Zuo Jingyan didn't want to stay alone with Lu Haoting, so she followed her mother-in-law into the kitchen, but was pushed out of the kitchen by her mother-in-law:
"No, you and Haoting go have a conversation. Mom has already prepared it. Just warm it up."
Zuo Jingyan and Lu Haoting stared at each other, and the air became quiet, which was very embarrassing!
Li Qiaoyun secretly observed her daughter-in-law and son in the kitchen. Although she didn't believe what Li Aimei said, she was still worried that such a good daughter-in-law would be seduced away.
Silly son, why can’t you even speak?
We haven’t seen each other for several days. A long separation is better than a newlywed. Shouldn’t the couple be tired of it? Why don’t these two people talk to each other?
The old lady also tried her best to let her son know how good Zuo Jingyan is now. While working, she praised her daughter-in-law:
"Haoting, your wife bought me new clothes and new shoes. She also bought a new dress for Xiao Yu. She is reluctant to buy anything."
Lu Haoting looked at Zuo Jingyan, who smiled at him, not wanting him to misunderstand that she was being nice to her mother-in-law and Xiaoyu just to please him, and explained:
"Mom had a hard time braiding my hair, and Xiaoyu also helped me a lot."
Lu Haoting lowered his eyelids, did she really want to end the relationship?
"I'm going to wash my hands."
Seeing that Lu Haoting didn't speak, Zuo Jingyan also felt that the atmosphere in the room was weird, so she found an excuse and went out.
"Haoting, tell me, why can't you coax your wife?"
Seeing that his daughter-in-law had gone out, Li Qiaoyun ran out of the kitchen, which made her very anxious.
Who would like his son's cold appearance?
Lu Haoting said nothing, opened his luggage bag and took out his things.
"I bought pastries for you, kneepads for dad, hairpins for Xiaoyu..."
Li Qiaoyun was anxious:
"What are you buying for us? Why not buy it for your wife?"
Lu Haoting looked at the white shirt with black polka dots and a bow at the bottom of the luggage bag. The salesperson said it was the latest style this year and was very expensive, but he bought it without hesitation.
I thought at that time, it would look great on her!
Zuo Jingyan walked into the house after washing her hands and saw Lu Haoting bringing a gift to her mother-in-law. She didn't expect him to buy a gift for her at all, so she went to the kitchen to serve food.
My mother-in-law is as frugal as ever in cooking. Tonight she made pancakes and cabbage soup.
If she had known that Lu Haoting was coming back, she would have bought some groceries in the county.
No, she wouldn't have been able to buy it if she had known it. She is very poor now.
"Let's eat!"
Zuo Jingyan put the food on the table and invited her mother-in-law and Lu Haoting to eat.
Lu Haoting zipped up his luggage bag and carried it into the house. Zuo Jingyan looked at his back and frowned, "What do you mean? You're not leaving at night?"
Li Qiaoyun looked at his son's behavior with a smile. That's right. It's better to be separated for a long time than to be newly married. The couple has to sleep in the same bed.
After dinner, Li Qiaoyun excused herself from being sleepy and went back to her room early. Zuo Jingyan went to wash the dishes and clean up. Lu Haoting went back to his room first.
