Chapter 82: I don't long for home; I am the brother's wife, and this is where I belong

Lu Yuan stretched his big lazy waist on the soft dream-thought bed.

Lu Yuan also just took two sips of the hangover soup.

This thing is actually completely unnecessary.

After all, Lu Yuan has a perfect physique; a night's sleep fixes it.

Besides, the liquor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is all properly brewed from grain; even the cheap stuff is like that.

Not like on Earth where they mix with alcohol, and drinking it leaves you with a headache the next day.

Now Lu Yuan is comfortable, stretching his lazy waist and listening to the crackling sound of his bones.

Lu Yuan is extremely comfortable.

Su Liyan beside him smiled gently with pursed lips and said:

"Brother~ Do you want to eat? I've already made it~"

Lu Yuan nodded and said:

"Eat, but I don't want to get out of bed to eat."

Eh?

Su Liyan was startled, then she smiled with pursed lips and nodded, saying:

"Mm~ I'll bring the food over~"

Not long after, Su Liyan placed what was not breakfast nor lunch onto the small table beside.

Just as Su Liyan sat down, Lu Yuan, leaning against the headboard, directly opened his mouth and said:

"Ah~~"

Su Liyan saw her man's appearance, as if he wanted her to feed him; she knew her man was teasing her.

But Su Liyan was still very willing, feeling her man's appearance was very cute.

Immediately, Su Liyan picked up a big piece of meat, holding the bowl, gazing at Lu Yuan with eyes full of love, smiling with pursed lips and said:

"Ah~ Brother, it's time to eat~"

Lu Yuan was just teasing Su Liyan; it's really not that he needs to be fed to eat.

Even if he wanted service, it wouldn't be like this; it's not meant to make things difficult for people.

But… Su Liyan seems very willing.

Alright, today I'll enjoy the treatment of Heshen.

This is a little fun in life~

Su Liyan held chopsticks in one hand and a porcelain bowl in the other, giving Lu Yuan whatever he wanted to eat.

While Lu Yuan was chewing, Su Liyan was eating a bit herself.

Seeing her man's comfortable expression, Su Liyan's beautiful eyes also curved like crescent moons.

While the two of them were eating, you bite, I bite.

The half-closed door was pushed open, and then Pang Kaige strode in shouting:

"Lu Yuan, pay back the money!!"

Huh??

Lu Yuan looked a bit dazed at the incoming Pang Kaige.

Did Pang Kaige not go to work today?

As for repaying the debt, it's of course the thirty taels borrowed from the Pang family earlier.

Lu Yuan had prepared it yesterday, but after going to toast and drinking too much, he forgot.

The Pang family also couldn't openly demand it in public, after all they were hosting a banquet.

Lu Yuan, while eating the food Su Liyan fed him, raised his head and said:

"Over there on the table, you find it yourself."

At this moment, Pang Kaige stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, somewhat incredulously looking at Lu Yuan and said:

"Holy shit, you're not serious, you now need Su Sister to feed you to the mouth??"

Pang Kaige was completely dumbfounded.

Not… what kind of life is Lu Yuan living every day?

Recently, Lu Yuan needed Su Liyan's help to dress and put on shoes; Pang Kaige thought that was already outrageous.

So……

Now Lu Yuan just sits on the bed to eat and then directly opens his mouth!!

Ha?

Can life still be lived like this??

Is this what having a wife is like?

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"What's wrong? I drank too much; isn't it natural for my wife to serve me a bit?"

Pang Kaige pursed his lips, really wanting to curse.

I've also drunk too much, but I'm not to the point of not reaching out to eat!!

But Pang Kaige didn't dare to curse, afraid of becoming a second Gao Tingyu.

Gritting his teeth, Pang Kaige stopped dealing with Lu Yuan and walked over to the nearby table; arriving there, he also saw the thirty taels already prepared.

He picked it up, showed it to Lu Yuan, and then directly said:

"I'm taking it!!"

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was a bit curious and said:

「You didn't go to work today either? 」

Pang Kaige walked out, speaking unhappily:

「I also got drunk the day before yesterday, so I also took leave! 」

Lu Yuan nodded; Pang Kaige's family is well-off, often taking leave just by saying so.

After Pang Kaige left Lu Yuan's house, he hurried home. No way, he must also get a wife!!

The four peers in this courtyard.

Kou Yang is a bit younger, nineteen, while the others like Lu Yuan and Gao Tingyu have taken wives, and Pang Kaige is envious.

Not to mention Lu Yuan's wife, who serves him like an emperor.

Just saying Gao Tingyu's wife is not bad either!

Every time they go out to work, passing the front courtyard they often see Chen Taohua either washing clothes, cooking, or washing bowls and chopsticks—she's diligent.

Although Gao Tingyu's family has that sort of conduct, he also has a wife attending to him.

How come I, with the best family conditions, don't have a wife?!

I'm even older than Gao Tingyu!

I also need to find a wife!!

Otherwise, waiting for Kou Yang to take a wife while I still haven't—wouldn't that make the courtyard people laugh at me to death?

Upon returning home, Pang Kaige looked at his mother and loudly said:

「Mother, I also want to take a wife. 」

Upon hearing her son's words as he entered the house, Pang's mother didn't say anything else, but seriously nodded and said:

「Don't worry, Mother will find you a match in these few days! 」

The money Lu Yuan made from hosting a banquet the day before yesterday is known by everyone in the courtyard.

What a good deal—Lu Yuan hosted the banquet without spending a penny and still earned over two hundred!

Even though the Pang family isn't short of money and is well-off, that two hundred plus is still quite a lot!

Besides, my son really ought to take a wife.

Upon hearing his mother's words, Pang Kaige nodded repeatedly, somewhat excitedly, and said:

「I'll definitely find one with good conditions! 」

Pang's mother immediately raised her eyebrows and said:

「Of course, our family's conditions aren't like the Gao family's; finding one with good conditions is as easy as pie! 」

……

After eating, Lu Yuan got out of bed.

He went to the kitchen and took a look; the leftovers from the day before yesterday weren't much, just three bundles of scattered items.

Those dishes and such were probably already packed up and taken back by the residents of the Siheyuan.

Lu Yuan looked at Su Liyan, who was tidying the kitchen nearby, and said:

「When your brother comes later, have him take two bundles. One bundle for Uncle Wang, one bundle he'll give to the dormitory officials and himself to drink, and the remaining bundle you can use for cooking. 」

Lu Yuan doesn't drink this stuff.

Lu Yuan's family still has several jars of Duo Kang, which Su Liyan previously brought back home.

Su Liyan blinked, then smiled and said:

「Brother, when Chang Liang left the day before yesterday, you already had him take two bundles, and you said the same thing~」

Talking about the day before yesterday, Su Liyan felt sweet inside.

Even though my husband got that drunk the day before yesterday, he didn't forget to take care of our family.

It's just that my younger brother is a bit aggravating; when he was leaving, he said if I don't serve his brother-in-law well, he'll go tell our parents.

Su Liyan hated it so much she wanted to take the alcohol back right then.

Does my husband even need others to tell him?

I feel sorry for him~

Lu Yuan listened to Su Liyan's words, nodded slightly, saying that way, he had blacked out from drinking the day before yesterday and almost forgot.

Afterwards, Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan, pursed her lips and smiled, saying:

「Brother, do you still want to eat or drink something? If not, I'll go learn to use the sewing machine~」

This morning Su Liyan has been looking at the sewing machine's manual; she's almost finished reading it, and she's itching to try it out.

Immediately Lu Yuan nodded and said:

「Not eating, let's go, I'll go with you. 」

Anyway, Lu Yuan is idle, so he'll just stand by and watch.

And after sitting down with Su Liyan, looking at such a gorgeous wife, Lu Yuan couldn't help himself a bit.

Either he wants to touch Su Liyan's tender little hand, or suddenly kiss her rosy cheek, making Su Liyan blush all over.

This is the joy of the bridal chamber~

After Lu Yuan played with Su Liyan for a while, Su Liyan sat at the sewing machine with two small pieces of fabric, and started turning it with a clack-clack sound.

Lu Yuan then took out the gift money he'd collected the day before yesterday to see how much he'd received in total.

After finishing the calculation, Lu Yuan suddenly realized there was still a gift from an elder uncle, and also from Director Xu and a factory leader that had been added later but not yet retrieved.

The gift money from these people the day before yesterday was given to the third elder uncle; Lu Yuan hadn't taken it back yet, planning to retrieve it when the third elder uncle returns in the afternoon.

After retrieving it.

Lu Yuan thought, it's almost Little New Year.

On Little New Year's Day, basically all industries are off for two days, which are basically used to prepare New Year goods.

Then after waiting another seven or eight days, it will be the New Year.

Speaking of which, I'm about to go to the Qing Cang Guard to collect my pay.

According to reason, this month's salary is paid on the second.

Here they pay quickly, unlike some companies on Earth that drag it out for half a month or even a full month.

Here, when encountering this major New Year holiday, they also advance the wages.

After all, we can't let the workers have no money for the New Year.

When it's time to collect the pay, I have to go to the Qing Cang Guard to teach people boxing.

These days, Lu Yuan has pretty much practiced Tai Chi.

At the very least, it can bluff people.

When the time comes, I'll teach a couple of moves.

Lu Yuan thought, the New Year will definitely be spent returning to Qiu Qiu Village.

As for the Little New Year…

Immediately, Lu Yuan turned his head to Su Liyan and said:

"Honey, let's also go back for the Little New Year?"

To be honest, Lu Yuan still really wants to return to Qiu Qiu Village; going back is really great, and returning to Qiu Qiu Village doesn't require any pretense—it's just very comfortable.

It's also nice to go back and stay a few days, sleeping on the earthen bed.

Moreover, the key is that behind Qiu Qiu Village there's a big reservoir; you can't catch fish in the city, but Lu Yuan doesn't believe he'd fail to catch fish in that reservoir!

Su Liyan, who was studying the sewing machine, blinked slightly, then nodded repeatedly at Lu Yuan with a pursed-lip smile and said:

"Sure, I'll listen to you, big brother~"

"But why would you suddenly want to go back, big brother?"

As for her man wanting to go to her home, Su Liyan was naturally happy.

Su Liyan also worried that her man might not like that poor, remote countryside and wouldn't be used to living there~

Regarding Su Liyan's question, Lu Yuan was taken aback.

This... I can't exactly say I want to go to that reservoir to fish, can I?

Lu Yuan immediately blinked and said:

"It's not that I'm afraid you'll miss home; from now on, whenever I have free time, I'll bring you back for a visit."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Su Liyan blinked, then shook her head seriously and said:

"Big brother, I don't miss home; moreover, I'm your wife, and this place is my home."

Hmm?

Lu Yuan was taken aback, looking at that utterly serious Su Liyan.

Oh dear, Lu Yuan's heart just melted; his wife is simply lovable no matter how you look at her.

Unable to hold back, Lu Yuan walked over to Su Liyan, hugged her and gave her a good rub, then looked at her blushing face and said:

"Alright, don't research the sewing machine today; we'll study it later. Let's go out and stroll the streets, and tonight we'll go out for a meal."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Su Liyan blinked—this... means spending money again...

However, Su Liyan didn't dare to oppose her man; she just blinked and quickly said:

"Then let's go play at South Mountain Park~"

South Mountain Park is in the opposite direction from the department store; Su Liyan worried her man would again take her into the department store.

Upon hearing that, Lu Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows and said:

"What's fun at South Mountain Park? At this time of year it's just barren and cold, big brother will take you to the department store.

"The other day I saw you looking great with your makeup, so I'll buy you a few sets of cosmetics; plus, this winter is too dry, so I'll get you some snowflower cream when I go to collect your pay."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Su Liyan slightly pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes slightly reddening as she said:

"Big brother~ you're going to spoil me rotten~"

Every time her man takes her to the department store, he only buys her things—what woman could be loved this much by her man?

Lu Yuan looked at his wife like that, feeling a sense of accomplishment, and immediately grinned proudly and said:

"What's the big deal? You treat big brother so well, he naturally wants to dote on you—don't worry about the money; you know full well how capable your man is, your man is impressive~"

Hearing that, Su Liyan nodded very seriously.

That's true—her man really is capable!

Last time the armor design earned a bonus of three hundred, not to mention, this time there'll be another bonus and even a promotion~

Moreover, this time her man also earned a lot of money from the wedding~

Her man is simply the most capable man in the world~

Finally, Su Liyan linked arms with Lu Yuan, and the two walked toward the outer courtyard.

When they reached the front courtyard, Lu Yuan happened to see the three elders returning from outside, and he immediately said with a grin:

"Elders, did you forget to give me something?"

The three elders were taken aback, then glared and said:

"Don't worry, you won't be missed—come in!"

The three elders said this while walking into the house.

At the same time, outside the Siheyuan, two people on horseback were looking around.

"Director Lin, this should be the household."

A middle-aged man looked toward Lin Fusheng beside him and said:

Immediately, Lin Fusheng nodded, dismounted, and said:

Go, go in and ask.

When the two led their horses in one after another into the Siheyuan, Lu Yuan took Su Liyan out from Third Master's house.

At this moment, Third Master stood at the door, overjoyed, looking at Lu Yuan and saying with a grin:

Come by often when you have time, Yuan'er~

Lu Yuan replied without turning his head:

Sure~

Just now, when taking the money, I casually gave Third Master a coin, making him extremely happy.

As Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were about to leave the gate, they saw two strangers leading horses in.

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, one of the middle-aged men stepped forward with a smile and said:

Young man, does Lu Yuan live in this courtyard?

This is the third update today; I thought that since it just went online yesterday, only updating ten thousand characters is a bit sorry for everyone's support.

Besides, I also need to make money quickly; the more I update, the more I earn, so today I'm doing 1.4W characters.

I'll try to update more each day; if I'm not stuck, but if I get writer's block later, I'll update less.
