I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 314: Spend More Time at Home with You and the Children
Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Spend More Time at Home with You and the Children
Lu Zhenping looked at the person he had been longing for day and night, put down the things in his hand onto the ground, opened his arms wide, and embraced Shen Meng’s enthusiasm with his whole heart.
He hugged her and spun around twice on the spot, his large hands vigorously pressing on her back, very firmly.
He wanted to melt her into his very bones.
During the toughest times of the flood resistance, he hadn’t closed his eyes for three or four consecutive days, looking after the suffering people, he could only do his utmost to ensure their safety.
At that time, he thought, if he could return safely, he must live a good life with Shen Meng and the children.
After sorting out the affairs of the troops, he hurriedly had someone book a ticket, and now with the person in his arms, he felt that life was truly precious.
"Lu Zhenping, you’ve finally come back. You don’t know how much I missed you while you were away. I missed you so much that I couldn’t eat or sleep; I’ve even lost weight. Your parents and younger brothers and their wives bullied me, sob sob sob, you must stand up for me!"
Lu Zhenping: "....."
Just keep lying, I can feel it when I hug you, you’ve gained weight!!!
Although he thought this way, he didn’t dare to say it out loud, especially when he heard her say she missed him, he was truly happy.
"Alright, I’ll stand up for you. Tonight, you’ll have to tell me exactly how you missed me." frёeωebɳovel.com
Shen Meng: "I’m afraid that’s not going to work, I got my period, tonight we have to sleep separately, strictly platonic."
Lu Zhenping: "....."
Is it an inopportune time for my return? Such a coincidence???
Shen Meng sighed; this man is sometimes too serious, he can’t even detect a joke. She really did miss him. In the days when Lu Zhenping was not around, she rushed about every day by herself. When she was at home, beyond eating and taking care of the children, she often felt very empty, lonely, and cold. Besides, the autumn season was coming, and the bed was missing a warm spot. Just in time, her "stove" had returned, what a coincidence.
"I was just joking earlier, Lu Zhenping, I really missed you. How long can you stay this time?"
"I won’t be leaving anymore; I’ve switched my career. Everything is arranged, I’m going to be the deputy director at the Provincial City Police Station. Xiao Meng, from now on I’ll be able to be at home with you and the kids more."
Shen Meng: "....."
Working in the Provincial City, how can you shamelessly claim you’ll be able to come home often, may I ask???
"Alright, let’s head back inside first. Oh, right, the kids are still at our private plot. I’ll go call them over and pick up a chicken on the way to make you firewood chicken stewed with pumpkin and flatbread for lunch."
"Great, I like anything you make. But there’s no hurry; I have something to tell you, let’s go inside first."
Lu Zhenping said this as he also took a look around the yard with a mysterious air. Shen Meng raised an eyebrow, wondering if this guy had finally figured it out and was about to do something romantic.
In the east room, Lu Zhenping placed his bag on the kang table. After opening it, he took out an envelope directly and placed it in front of Shen Meng.
"This is the bonus from the regiment, altogether three thousand five hundred in total. Take it and use it. There are also some bills. Ahem ahem, I stopped by the Cooperative Society on my way back from the Provincial City and saw a red pyjama set that would suit you well; wear it for me tonight. The brothers from the team also sent some things for Mingyang and the other children; they will arrive in a few days."
As Lu Zhenping said this, he took out the red silk pyjama wrapped in oil paper for Shen Meng; the thin fabric was a strappy lace design, glaringly eye-catching.
His gaze was particularly aggressive, and Shen Meng felt somewhat overwhelmed by it.
"What are you getting dressed for? You’ve just come home, and instead of doing some chores around the house or looking after the kids, you drag me back to the room to talk about this, and you’re not even embarrassed?"
"What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’re my wife. If I didn’t want to talk about this with you, but with someone else, then you’d have the right to scold and hit me. Oh, and there’s other stuff in this bag too, take a look and sort it out. I’ll wash your pajamas first. They’ll dry by noon. You said your period was just a joke, right? So tonight, cough cough, just put them on!"
"Ugh, shameless."
"Hehe!"
Shen Meng’s face turned a bit red, but inside she was screaming with joy; it had been so long, how could she not want it? When you have a man of your own, you’ve got to make full use of him.
When Mingyang and the other kids learned that Lu Zhenping had returned, they were overjoyed and climbed all over him.
They all gathered around him.
Over at the old courtyard, word had also spread. Lu Changzhu felt a sudden jolt in his heart and ran out the door. He had heard why his eldest brother left before the end of his family leave; it was to fight the floods. He had been on tenterhooks these past days, fearing that something had happened to his eldest brother, feeling really distressed.
Seeing him running outside, Liu Sanjin felt a chill in her heart and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
With Lu Zhenping’s return, the rumors in the village would soon come to light. No need for any investigation; the old man would tell him himself. All her hidden thoughts and desires would be easily detected.
She gritted her teeth, thinking, Lu Zhenping, oh Lu Zhenping, why wouldn’t you just die out there!
Shen Meng was cooking at home, while Lu Zhenping was playing with the children at the doorway. Passing villagers greeted him warmly when they saw him.
When Lu Changzhu arrived, he saw Lu Mingkai riding on his dad’s neck, laughing with his mouth wide open.
"Ming Kai, what are you doing? Your dad just got back; you can’t wear him out like this. Get down now."
"I won’t. Dad said I could ride, so why should I get down? No, no, I won’t."
"You little rascal, think you can run wild? I’ll show you..."
"Let the kid have his fun. Do you need something?"
Lu Zhenping gently patted Lu Mingkai’s little bottom, and the little guy immediately behaved.
But Lu Changzhu felt a bit of a loss; it had been quite a few days, how come he couldn’t even call out ’dad’?
"Zhenping, dad heard you went off to fight the floods. I’ve been so worried these past days, couldn’t eat or sleep, thinking of you, thinking to the point of losing weight. Now that you’ve come back safe and sound, dad’s mind can finally be at ease."
Lu Zhenping: "..."
Such familiar rhetoric!!!
"I heard from Xiao Meng that she’s been troubled quite a bit while I was away. I remember making it clear before, both families should just live their lives peacefully without bothering each other. Why do you always have to trouble her?"
"No, no, Zhenping. Dad has never meddled with your wife’s affairs. After all, you’re my son, and your family is part of the Lu Family. It’s natural to have some bumps in day-to-day life, nothing serious. Don’t hold it against us. Dad was thinking, let’s have a gathering, the whole Lu Family tonight, and have a good meal together. What do you say?"
Lu Zhenping frowned and after thinking for a while, he said, "Alright."
