Chapter 312: Teammates said this was

~8 min read 1,425 words

Before this, the identity of the cultural troupe's pillar did indeed make many people feel envious and inferior.

It also carried some dislike and jealousy.

Such a beautiful person with good conditions suddenly tells you that she isn't as glamorous as they imagined...

Secret schadenfreude, sympathy, and other emotions came to the fore, making them unconsciously reduce their hostility.

Li Jiaojiao put on her shoes and exited under the sympathetic gazes of many people.

Aunt was right; showing weakness at the right time isn't admitting defeat; it's wisdom.

She didn't understand before, proud like a white swan, and offended quite a few people.

Ever since she got married, Aunt treated her like an adult, taught her to be kind to others, considered the long term for her, and let her seize the opportunity to change her profession.

It's not that the cultural troupe profession isn't good, but it's eating "youth rice"; if you don't have certain achievements, you'll be obliterated by the masses and become a marginal figure.

Plus, she was married and had a new family; Aunt didn't want her to walk the same path as her.

So, she participated in the teacher recruitment for the sake of long-term planning.

After the teacher selection and admission list was announced, the Jiashuyuan was lively for a while, and after the attention gradually shifted to other things, it was left at that.

One night at the end of the month, Lu Xiu Bai touched his way home in the dark.

If it weren't for the plaster bandage on his right arm, he would have just climbed over the wall.

What a pity. "Knock, knock, knock."

"I'm back. Is anyone awake?"

"Knock, knock, knock."

"I'm home. Brother-in-law? Grandpa? Wifey?"

Lu Xiu Bai didn't dare to shout too loudly, afraid of scaring the children.

It was late at night, and everyone in the family had fallen into deep sleep; the children played wildly during the day and were sleeping soundly at night.

Suddenly, the room door was pushed open. The cat ears stood up, and the head turned—oh, it's the big boss.

Keep sleeping, no need for the Cat King to get up.

Jiang Ye closed the bedroom door lightly, his face dark.

Why is the brother-in-law knocking on the door in the middle of the night?

Can't he climb over the wall?

It's his own home, not an outsider's...

To prevent his brother-in-law from waking up his wife, he didn't even have time to put on a coat and came out to open the door.

"Creak."

"You—"

The original questioning words stopped abruptly. Jiang Ye saw his brother-in-law's miserable appearance and silently swallowed the questioning, changing it to—

"Keep it down; everyone in the family is sleeping."

"Oh, I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"

"Come over; I'll get you something to eat."

What could Jiang Ye say? It's his brother-in-law; what else could he do?

"Thanks."

Lu Xiu Bai grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"How did you get hurt like this?"

"Sigh, don't mention it; it was almost a conflict."

Lu Xiu Bai followed behind his brother-in-law with an unconvinced face.

It was a military mission and couldn't be leaked; he wouldn't mention half a word.

But he obviously underestimated Jiang Ye's intelligence; a few words were enough for Jiang Ye to guess it almost correctly.

It's cool now, there are many people in the family, and the prepared ingredients are extremely rich.

Lu Xiu Bai hadn't eaten the dishes made by his brother-in-law for a long time, so he immediately expressed that he wanted to eat something spicy, meat; he was craving meat too much.

Jiang Ye's nose twitched; he stepped back a few steps in disgust, and while keeping his distance, suggested:

"Boil a pot of hot water, take a bath, and when you go back to the room to sleep after eating, your sister-in-law won't dislike you."

"?"

Lu Xiu Bai was full of question marks. Is this right?

He lowered his head and sniffed—Ugh—

Okay, it is a bit sour and smelly!

Teammates said this was "manly scent," but obviously they were lying to him!

Wuwuwu.

Fortunately, only one hand was disabled; otherwise, how would he take a bath?

"If it's inconvenient to take a bath, just wipe yourself; don't let the wound touch water."

Jiang Ye sighed helplessly; this brother-in-law hasn't been reliable for a day or two.

If he didn't warn him well, he didn't even know if the other party had listened to it.

The light in the kitchen flickered. Gradually, the charming fragrance had already wafted out.

After struggling in the bathroom for more than half an hour, Lu Xiu Bai, who had washed his skin raw, changed into clean clothes, feeling like he had come back to life.

When he came out of the bathroom, he saw his wife standing there with a coat draped over her.

Their eyes met, and he moved his lips, just about to say something, when his wife had already thrown herself into his arms, avoiding his arm with the plaster bandage.

"You're back."

"Mm, I'm back."

"How did you get like this?"

"I'm lucky; it's this special constitution, you know, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, so overall, returning safely this time is already not bad."

"Mm-hmm, it's good that you're back."

Pei Yan Ting heard this and hugged her man even tighter.

It had been almost a month; finally, he was home! As long as his life was there, it didn't matter if he was disabled; she could support him!

"Ahem."

Although he didn't want to break this beautiful scene, Jiang Ye had to remind him, "The food is ready, Brother, come and eat quickly. I'll go back to the room to sleep first; Sister-in-law, please trouble yourself to clean up the kitchen."

"Okay."

Pei Yan Ting wiped the corner of her eye, pretending there was nothing unusual, and readily agreed.

Although the movement was very light, there was a telepathic connection between blood relatives.

One after another, Old Master Lu, Shen Man, and Old Master Pei, and the children all woke up.

Once awake, they couldn't sleep anymore, so they hurriedly turned on the lights, put on clothes, and went out to surround Lu Xiu Bai, asking about his well-being and chatting about daily life.

Lian Lian was even babbling, wanting her father to hold her, hugging her father's neck and not letting go.

The little one was also very sensible, avoiding her father's injured arm, and was obedient beyond belief.

Not only was their small courtyard lit up, but in the nearby Jiashuyuan, there were also sporadic lights lit up.

"Are there many people injured this time?"

Old Master Lu set up a barbecue grill in the courtyard and grilled a few fish. Although he would scold his grandson, in reality, he was someone who loved his grandson.

Seeing his grandson's injured arm, how could he, as a grandfather, not feel heartache?

Even if he said he didn't care, in action, he couldn't help but want to make something his grandson liked to eat.

"Not many. The warship is large, and when they collided, that group of turtles suffered a big loss; we just got grazed, nothing serious, just need to rest and it will be fine."

Lu Xiu Bai held his daughter with his left hand and had a plaster cast on his right; only his mouth was free. While answering his grandfather's question, he opened his mouth wide to accept his wife's feeding.

"That's good. There are really too many things this year; there are only a few months left until the New Year, I hope nothing major happens..."

Old Master Pei interjected after hearing this, then signaled his grandson-in-law to give him his left hand so he could check his pulse.

"Isn't that so? This year is really..."

Old Master Lu didn't continue; everyone in the courtyard fell silent.

Shen Man silently brewed tea and distributed a cup to everyone in the family.

It was indeed a year with many events; she only hoped to turn this page as soon as possible and let the historical trajectory continue to move forward...

1977 or 1978, the college entrance examination is about to be restored.

The turning point that will change the destiny of countless people is coming soon!

Her children will catch up with the era of the country's rapid development.

She will witness the changes of the era, and the historical trajectory will continue... ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
