Seeing that everyone had no objections, Chen Lishu tapped the book in Zhao Hong's hand with her chin: "Look at what's written on the title page?"
Zhao Hongjing was reminded by her to open the page and take a look. It read clearly: Zhao Hong, this book best expresses my feelings for you - Lu Chengming.
"Originally, Comrade Lu wanted Xu Ning to help give it to you. When we found out that it was a banned book, we wanted to quietly ask the branch secretary what he meant. Who knew that you would frame us indiscriminately? Zhao Hong, you are really..." Chen Lishu said at the end
Show a sad expression.
Xu Ning also saw the words on the page. When she returned it, it was still clean. Although she didn't know what all this was about, she still cooperated with Chen Lishu and continued to act.
"Yes, Zhao Hong, you have misunderstood Chen Lishu. I couldn't make up my mind, so I wanted to ask her opinion."
Zhao Hong couldn't listen to what these people said. She stared straight at the line of words above and felt that her head was buzzing non-stop.
She was so familiar with Lu Chengming's handwriting, and she probably knew what the book "Ball of Suet" was about. Lu Chengming used this book to express his feelings. Could it be that he was a prostitute in his heart? No wonder she said she was pregnant with him
She didn't even show a trace of happiness. He had never looked down on her, so how could he marry her? Is it just because she took the initiative in this relationship that her sincerity would be trampled on by him like this?
Lu Chengming didn't know what was going on at first, but when he got closer and saw the words on the page in Zhao Hong's hand, he was shocked: "I didn't write this, I haven't even read this book."
"This is clearly your handwriting. How dare you, a grown man, admit it? It turns out that in your heart I am just... Lu Chengming, you bastard!" Zhao Hong threw the book in her hand at Lu Chengming's face and threw it away with red eyes.
The next sentence was to run into the house.
Zhao Hong indirectly admitted it, and Lu Chengming couldn't argue for a while, but he quickly came to his senses and looked at Chen Lishu with a gloomy look: "It was you who did it, wasn't it?"
Chen Lishu spread her hands: "What the hell am I doing? The handwriting is obviously yours. Don't dare to act like a man. There are two tree ditches. Think about it, Zhao Hong helped you fight for it. You two have a really good relationship."
After saying that, he ignored Lu Chengming's face, which looked like he had knocked over a palette, and secretly blinked at Xu Ning, then said hello to the party secretary and team leader, and then Chen Lishu went home lightly.
…
After breakfast the next day, everyone in the Gu family went to work, while Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping made "fake collars" at home.
"Sister-in-law, my sewing skills are only to a fault." Gu Xingping looked at the clothes that she had failed to draw several times in frustration, and simply threw away the chalk in her hand and stopped working.
Chen Lishu stopped stepping on the sewing machine and turned her head and smiled: "Who swore before that such a simple thing can still stump you, Miss Gu?"
Gu Xingping glared at her: "Aren't you my sister-in-law who is just talking sarcastically from the sidelines?"
"If you don't know how to do it, don't force it. How about I give you three yuan for this 'fake collar' like Brother Zhou? Anyway, you've been to all the factories around here and you're familiar with it. What do you think?"
When Gu Xingping heard her words, she changed her depression and immediately became energetic: "Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?"
Chen Lishu joked: "Now I am your sister-in-law again?"
Gu Xingping said with a smile: "You are my third brother's wife, why not my sister-in-law? You are my best third sister-in-law."
"Don't give me the ecstasy soup." Chen Lishu pursed her lips and smiled before continuing with her work.
In the middle of the afternoon, Chen Lishu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to cut some meat because she had made an appointment with Xu Ning to come to her home for dinner.
When she saw Zhang Xiaoju, she suddenly thought of Gu Xingye's thoughts. She didn't know if he had confessed to her, but seeing that Zhang Xiaoju's attitude towards her was quite natural, Chen Lishu guessed that he hadn't yet.
After buying the meat, Chen Lishu went home and made shredded pork with green peppers, tomatoes mixed with sugar, stir-fried vegetables and shredded potatoes.
"Why is it so rich today?" Li Xiulan couldn't help but ask when she came back from work and looked at the four dishes on the table.
"Mom, I made an appointment with Xu Ning yesterday to invite her to my house for dinner. You also know that educated youth order food, so I specially cooked more."
Li Xiulan nodded: "I see that the child is also very thin. It is not easy for a little girl to be away from home."
When Liu Yuemin heard that Xu Ning was coming, she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Emotions are just for making money. I don't know how expensive food is now, and the conditions at home are not that good. Third brother and sister, you can pretend to be generous."
Before Chen Lishu could speak, Li Xiulan had already started to lecture: "Second daughter-in-law, can you please think through your words? Who is going to take advantage of the meal? I think you are the one taking advantage of the meal! The meat and sugar were bought and cooked by the third daughter-in-law, and some of them are eaten.
Just stop eating, and you can cook and eat some useless stuff tomorrow."
Since the separation, she has seen that the second daughter-in-law has become more and more unattractive. She does not cook or talk to her every day, and as soon as she finishes eating, she goes inside and does nothing.
"I'm just reminding you out of kindness." It's easier to eat ready-made food when you come back, and you can also eat meat from time to time. Liu Yuemin was afraid of cooking by herself, so she muttered and fell silent.
When Xu Ning came, she saw Chen Lishu cooking four dishes and immediately felt a little cautious: "Why did you cook so many dishes? If I had known, I would have brought something here."
"What are you bringing? Just bring your mouth when you come to my house. If you want to be so polite again, just go back." Chen Lishu said pretending to be angry.
Xu Ning couldn't help but retort in a low voice: "You are obviously polite because you cooked so many dishes."
Chen Lishu put the rice bowl in front of her: "I want to be polite and I can give you ten or eight dishes. Do you believe it?"
Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh: "Let's see what you can do with ten or eight dishes."
After finishing the meal, Li Xiulan didn't need Chen Lishu to clean up, and directly urged her to take Xu Ning back to the house.
This is the first time that Xu Ning has entered Chen Lishu's room. Although it is not large, it is very warmly decorated by her. She can't help but feel a little envious: "Our family lives in the tube building that my dad shares. A family of six or seven people are squeezed into 20 to 30 square meters."
In the house, it is usually difficult to turn around, but it is much more spacious after I go to the countryside."
"Life will get better and better after the college entrance examination is resumed." Chen Lishu said moving a stool for her to sit down. Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "So let's all work hard together."
Then she first told Chen Lishu the questions she didn't know, and the two of them read for a while. It wasn't until the sky got dark that Xu Ning got up and left.
The next day, Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping got up early. Today was the day they made an appointment with Zhou Bin to pick up the goods. After these two days, she made a total of forty-three 'fake collars'.
My sister-in-law went all the way to the town, and not long after she returned to the rented house, Zhou Bin came over.
