Chapter 438 The future
Saturday morning.
Lu You held his waist with his left hand and walked out of the room with a trash can in his right hand.
Even though he had slept for eight hours, he felt more tired than before.
Come to think of it, from the time he returned home at noon yesterday until after ten o'clock in the evening, even during dinner, he and Tang Wan were either working in the fields or on their way to work in the fields.
A roll of paper towels was used, four or five towels were changed, a set of bed sheets was changed, and the Chunhua school uniform sent by Shen Yuyin was simply unacceptable.
"No, if you keep going this crazy, I'm afraid your gun will be useless before you're thirty. You have to exercise some restraint."
Lu You tied the mouth of the garbage bag, walked to the entrance and put it down casually, turned into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
inside the room.
There was a faint, indescribable smell floating in the warm air.
Tang Wan curled up in the quilt with her eyes closed. In fact, she had woken up, but did not get up. Instead, she chose to stay in bed.
People often say that there is no such thing as a damaged field, only an ox that is worked to death. But how can a field remain undamaged after being plowed back and forth?
Tang Wan now has back pain, weakness in her limbs, and doesn't want to move at all.
Just then, a cell phone rang from the bedside table.
"Who is it? It's so early in the morning. You won't let me sleep on the weekend!"
Even though she complained, Tang Wan still struggled to prop up her upper body, leaned her back against the headboard, picked up her cell phone and answered the call.
"Hey?"
[After completing the task assignment, please remember to check the group messages and reply if you receive any. ]
As soon as the words fell, before Tang Wan could reply, the phone was hung up.
“What a high efficiency!”
Judging from the voice and content of the call, the caller is most likely Park Soo-young.
"Go ahead and check what task I'm assigned to."
Tang Wan pushed the scattered hair on her forehead to both sides of her cheeks, then opened vx, entered the group chat, and scrolled up to look at the chat history.
After browsing carefully, Tang Wan silently typed a "1" in the group.
The Boys' Day activities have been arranged and are divided into three parts: breakfast, gifts and party.
There are 15 girls in the class, and each of them is assigned a task. Four people are assigned to the breakfast session, five people are assigned to the gift session, and four people are assigned to the party session. Park Soo-young and the deputy monitor are in charge of the overall situation and grasping the details.
The gift section is divided into three parts, corresponding to three kinds of gifts: writing postcards, origami stars, and buying flowers.
Tang Wan was responsible for buying flowers because she was the only one who lived off campus on weekends and it was more convenient for her than for others.
Personally, Tang Wan did not reject this task, and it even suited her needs.
You can buy flowers while on a date with Lu You, and it will take at most ten to twenty minutes. As for the money for buying flowers, it will be summarized and reimbursed in the end.
“I just don’t know what flowers to buy.”
Tang Wan lay back on the bed, her long red-purple hair spreading out like ink dropped into clear water.
Flowers are not given casually.
There are different strategies for different days, different occasions, and different people.
You can't give white chrysanthemums to your father who is still alive and well during the Qingming Festival, right?
What a filial son!
"Send roses? No, it feels weird to send roses to classmates. Send carnations? It seems even stupider. Jasmine? The buds are too small, not suitable for single gift."
Dozens of flowers flashed through Tang Wan's mind, but she eliminated them one by one.
The reason is simple: classmates can't give it to each other.
"It seems... there is only one answer."
Tang Wan picked up her phone again and opened the group chat.
【Tang Wan: Ask for everyone’s opinions.】
[Tang Wan: Do you think it’s okay to send lilies? ]
After five minutes, the discussion ended.
Tang Wan's proposal was approved, and in addition, she received commissions from two girls.
One was from the next dormitory, whom Tang Wan knew but not very well. The other was Liu Qingmeng, and both were asked to help buy a bunch of white roses mixed with jasmine.
Tang Wan looked at the ceiling and said thoughtfully, "Come to think of it, I haven't given my husband flowers yet. How about I give him a bouquet too?"
As the saying goes, Cao Cao has arrived.
The next second, the door opened.
Lu You supported the door with one hand and looked at Tang Wan calmly.
"Get up when you wake up. Breakfast is ready."
"Can we eat in the room?"
"What do you say?"
"Alas, a stubborn man who doesn't know how to adapt at all!" Tang Wan tightened her abdomen, sat up shakily, and opened her arms to Lu You.
Lu You took a step back and left the room, taking a defensive stance, and asked vigilantly: "What are you doing? Didn't I feed you enough yesterday afternoon and evening?"
"Get lost! I don't want you to do this if you want to! You're so tired!" Tang Wan glared at Lu You fiercely and said unhappily, "Hurry and carry me out!"
"You don't have legs yourself?"
"My legs are sore and I can't walk!"
"My waist won't hurt anymore?"
"Just asking you to hold me or not!"
Under pressure from Tang Wan, Lu You had no choice but to walk to the bed and pick her up.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Tang Wan put her arms around Lu You's neck, put on a sweet smile, and kissed him.
"Thank you, husband. You are so nice~"
Lu You suddenly felt that his waist was no longer sore.
"My dear, while it's still early, why don't you do some morning exercises?"
"Forget it, I don't need you to hold me anymore."
Tang Wan got off Lu You, put on her slippers, turned around and walked into the bathroom.
About ten minutes passed.
Tang Wan finished washing up and sat down at the dining table.
The breakfast Lu You prepared was very ordinary: two bowls of dark multi-grain porridge, two boiled eggs, two palm-sized pan-fried pomfret, and a dish of sesame oil vermicelli. It was a very classic Cantonese breakfast.
However, no matter how ordinary the food was, Tang Wan didn't mind it at all. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Tang Wan did not consider herself a wealthy person. She could afford delicacies from land and sea, and she could also swallow simple meals. What's more, this meal included porridge, noodles, fish, and vegetables, which could not be considered simple meals.
When Lu You walked into the restaurant with a cup of hot water, he saw Tang Wan with a puffy mouth and a half-eaten egg in her hand.
"You don't even wait for anyone to eat?"
Tang Wan swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, staring at Lu You.
"I find that you and my mother are becoming more and more alike. You like to control others and nag. For example, I have heard that sentence at least a hundred times at home, especially when there are guests at home."
"Really? But there are some things that only I can give you, and Auntie can't."
"I don't deny that."
Lu You sat next to Tang Wan, drank all the water in the cup in one breath, and said, "Next time, remember to drink water first thing when you wake up."
"I got it, Mom."
"Whose mom are you calling?" Lu You patted Tang Wan's head lightly, and then said, "After breakfast, you come to clean up the dishes. Is that okay?"
"no problem."
Housework, housework, household affairs, as a member of a small family, it is natural to participate in them.
In a gust of wind, only fragments of egg shells were left on the table.
Tang Wan touched her stomach and estimated that she was about 80% full.
"Honey, do you have any plans this afternoon?"
Lu You grabbed one of Tang Wan's hands, pressing it on the left, pinching it on the right, from the palm to the fingers, and then from the fingers back to the palm.
"Whether there is an arrangement or not depends on what you want me to do."
Tang Wan felt like her hands were a stress-relieving toy, being toyed with by Lu You.
“My hands are so playful?”
"Strictly speaking, everything about you is fun."
Tang Wan kicked Lu You's calf and cursed, "You pervert!"
"They are both the same, so don't blame anyone."
Tang Wan glanced at the clear blue sky outside and said, "The weather is nice today. I want to go out and bask in the sun this afternoon."
"Where to sunbathe?"
"Wanda square."
"Just go shopping, why are you talking about sunbathing?" Lu You was speechless.
"Okay, I just want to go shopping, you accompany me."
"Do you want to buy anything?"
Tang Wan shook her head and said, "No, I want to be a good thrifty housekeeper."
"Okay, I'll go out after my nap, but I need two hours of study time at night, so you can't come and mess with me."
"make a deal."
……
In the afternoon.
Lu You held Tang Wan's hand and walked on the street.
The sun shines down, bringing warmth, and even the north wind that blows from time to time no longer causes facial pain as it did in the past.
Such weather really makes people in a good mood. The only drawback is that there is a busy road next to it.
"My dear, let's find time to go for an outing next year!"
"Huh? So sudden?"
"Want to go?"
"Sure! It feels good to leave the city occasionally, get close to nature, and breathe fresh air."
The two turned a few corners and came to the street near Wanda Plaza.
This street is a food street with food shops on both sides, selling bullfrog, barbecue, hot pot, milk tea, and local specialties.
However, since it is now afternoon and there are still a few hours before the evening bustle, currently only the milk tea shop is open for business, and the rest are still in the preparation stage before opening.
"Honey, look over there, there's a newly opened dessert shop!" Tang Wan patted Lu You and pointed her finger to the front and side.
Lu You looked up.
Just as Tang Wan said, it was indeed a newly opened shop. Because the last time I came, that location was selling stinky tofu, and there were two rows of wreaths at the door, and a banner was hung under the sign.
It says on it, grand opening sale, buy one get one free storewide.
"There's an event going on, let's go take a look!" Tang Wan said excitedly.
Lu You glanced at Tang Wan and said, "What about the promise of being frugal and managing the household?"
“You don’t have to buy it if you look at it.”
"Do you believe what you said?"
The two entered the store, and the waitress greeted them warmly, "What would you like to drink?"
Lu You quickly glanced through the menu and felt relieved.
On the surface it looks like a dessert shop, but in reality it is an alternative milk tea shop, both of which sell beverages.
The difference is that the former is traditionalist and the latter is reformist.
"One cup of fresh ginger pure sugar cane brown sugar light milk, one cup of black sesame black mulberry black wolfberry brown sugar light milk, separate packs, thank you."
“Normal sugar?”
“Minimum sugar.”
"Okay." The waitress beeped and tore off a receipt and handed it to Lu You, saying, "Two cups, a total of sixteen."
Lu You took out his phone and called up the payment code. Seeing Tang Wan standing there motionless, he said, "What are you standing there for? Get the ticket!"
"Oh." Tang Wan quickly reached out to take the receipt and said, "Let me make it clear in advance that you took the initiative to buy the sweet soup for me. I didn't ask you to buy it."
"Who said I can't have a couple of drinks by myself if I bought it for you?"
"I don't think you can drink it."
"I can drink it."
"I can't drink it."
"I can drink it."
five minutes later.
Tang Wan held the hot cup in both hands, put the straw in her little mouth, and drank happily.
Seeing her happy, Lu You also felt happy.
"tasty?"
Tang Wan nodded and said, "Let me try yours."
"Give."
Tang Wan took the straw that Lu You brought to her mouth and took a big sip.
Various particles flow into the mouth along with the water; the mellow aroma of milk, the sweetness of brown sugar and the bitterness of mulberries mix together to form a strange taste that cannot be described in words.
Tang Wan's brows suddenly wrinkled into a knot, and her expression seemed a little distorted.
Tang Wan suppressed her discomfort and swallowed the strange liquid in her mouth with all her strength. She said, "It's so unpalatable! How can you swallow something so unpalatable?"
"Is it unpalatable?" Lu You bit the straw again, inhaled, and swallowed, his expression unchanged throughout the process, "I think it's okay! The taste is satisfactory, but there are a lot of residues, and the taste is not good."
"There's definitely something wrong with your taste system."
"Maybe it's you who has the problem, not me."
It took them more than ten minutes to walk from the beginning to the end of the street, with a lot of noise and stops. The drinks in their hands were almost finished at the same time.
Tang Wan also saw the real destination of this outing, the flower shop at the end of the street.
Tang Wan's eyes rolled and a plan immediately came to her mind.
She stuffed the empty cup into Lu You's hand and said, "Honey, go sit in the back at Meiyijia for a while. I'm going to the bathroom and will be back soon."
“Do you need a tissue?”
"No, I brought my own."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Don't flirt with little girls while I'm away!" Tang Wan pointed at her own eyes, then at Lu You's, and said seriously, "I'm watching you all the time!"
Lu You couldn't help but smile, pinched Tang Wan's cheek, and replied: "Why are you talking so much when you're just going to the toilet!"
"I'm leaving now, don't miss me too much!"
After watching Tang Wan disappear into the distance, Lu You sat on the bench in front of Meiyijia as he had said before and took out his phone to check the news.
Unknowingly, a quarter of an hour passed.
Lu You raised his head and looked in the direction where Tang Wan left, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
"Why does it take so long to go to the toilet? Did you fall into the pit?"
Lu You was just about to make a phone call to inquire about the situation when a bouquet of dark blue flowers was thrust straight in front of him.
"Surprise!" Tang Wan poked her head out from behind the bouquet and asked with a smile, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lu You's heart finally settled down. He originally wanted to blame Tang Wan, but when he saw her smiling face, he couldn't say anything.
"Tell me in advance what you are going to do in the future."
"I want to give you a surprise~"
Lu You stood up, took the flowers from Tang Wan's hand, gently hugged her into his arms, and asked, "So, what is the purpose of your sending flowers?"
Tang Wan put her cheek against Lu You's collarbone and said softly, "To thank you for taking care of me for so long!"
Lu You raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "I don't believe it. You are not the kind of person who stirs up trouble without any reason."
Tang Wan curled her lips. Her boyfriend knew her too well, and sometimes being untrue was not a good thing.
"Okay!" Tang Wan left Lu You's arms and said truthfully, "Actually, it's the Double Eleven Boys' Day next week. The girls in our class decided to give each boy a flower, and it just so happened that my task was to buy flowers. Thinking that I had never given you flowers before, I bought a bunch on the way."
“Oh——” Lu You narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: “So I’m just passing by.”
Tang Wan threw herself into Lu You's arms again and said coquettishly, "Hey, isn't it also a proof of your status in my heart that we are on the same road? So you have a share of all the good things!"
"That's enough." Lu You patted Tang Wan on the back and said, "Let go. People around are watching."
"Just look at it, it will blind their dog eyes!"
Lu You let her do what she wanted since he wasn't losing out anyway.
"By the way, is there still a Boys' Day?"
"You haven't heard of it?"
"No."
"You will know on Double Eleven."
