Chapter 7 See how long you can keep pretending
The next day, thanks to her biological clock, Su Qing got up early.
The labor force in the family all went to the fields to earn work points, and Su Qing began to implement her moving plan.
The last time I took leave due to a head injury, I only have one day left.
Su Qing was always concerned about Teacher Di who was injured and needed care, so she took some food and daily necessities with her and planned to visit her.
When we arrived, we found that Teacher Di was able to get out of bed and move around freely.
When asked why she recovered so quickly, Teacher Di smiled and said, "Thanks to Captain Lu's careful care. He is really thoughtful and I am very touched every time he comes. If my son were here, he would probably be about his age."
Teacher Di is thinking about her son.
Whenever Su Qing thought of Teacher Di's life experience, she naturally felt sincere pity and sympathy.
Teacher Di’s wife was a retired military cadre who passed away a few years ago. Teacher Di had a son, but he disappeared many years ago.
Su Qing had a deep understanding of the pain and loneliness that Teacher Di, an elderly widower living alone, faced in his later years in his previous life.
With Su Qing's arrival, Di Jie felt warm.
"Su Qing, Captain Lu is such a nice and caring person. You finally found a good home. I'm really happy for you." Di Jie had a kind and gentle expression and spoke in a cordial manner.
It seems that Teacher Di thinks highly of that guy. I thought that I had only known him for a few days and it was too early to talk about our relationship.
It's just a fake marriage, just taking advantage of each other.
But we can't spoil the teacher's interest.
"Teacher Di, thank you for your blessing. Look what I brought you." Su Qing said as she took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from the basket in her hand.
"You know I like to eat candy, and now my teeth are almost falling out!" Di Jie took the candy and smiled brightly.
Here are some soaps, towels and other supplies that you may need. I'll put them in the cabinet for you.
"You, you're so happy to come to see me, and you even brought this thing." Di Jie has been smiling from ear to ear since Su Qing came in.
"Teacher Di, Lu Xingchen is cleaning the new house for you. You may move in there soon?" Although the house over there was not big, it was quite clean and tidy, so Su Qing felt relieved.
"That's great. This house was provided to me temporarily by the commune to take care of my old age. The commune will reclaim it in a couple of days. Thank you so much." Di Jie's gratitude was beyond words.
Teacher Di’s words inadvertently confirmed Lu Xingchen’s words, and Su Qing felt relieved.
However, Su Qing vowed to bring her family wealth and fortune, and she was always worried about the initial capital, so naturally there was some worry on her face.
This certainly did not escape Di Jie's eyes. After some concerned inquiries, Su Qing told her concerns to Teacher Di.
Teacher Di hesitated to speak, and just gave a few words of encouragement, with a subtle change passing across his face.
Su Qing was just talking. At least she would feel better when she talked to others.
Thinking back to her previous life when she was starting a business, she had to borrow money everywhere and encountered obstacles everywhere. Even the bank was unwilling to lend her money for financing. In the end, she was forced to borrow high-interest loans online. Su Qing deeply understood the hardships and difficulties.
In this day and age, how easy is it to borrow money?
After finishing her business, Su Qing personally cooked a meal for Teacher Di. After eating and drinking her fill, she returned home.
After thinking for a long time, Su Qing thought of someone to borrow money from, but finally gave up.
Now it's time to go to the wedding room.
Su Qing arrived at the row of bungalows that Lu Xingchen had pointed to last time and found that the door was locked and there was no one in sight.
I guess they all eat in the commune canteen?
Then let’s wait, Su Qing sat on the stone bench under the banyan tree beside the pond at the entrance of the village.
"Su Qing, it's really you." The familiar figure that was in front of the door yesterday flashed out from behind the banyan tree.
It was Li Guobiao, Li Zhiqing. Su Qing was badly cheated by him in her previous life.
He couldn't have been waiting behind the tree for a long time. Su Qing also appeared here yesterday and was discovered by him.
Is he waiting here in advance?
Su Qing must be more careful when dealing with Li Guobiao.
Originally, the person Su Qing wanted to borrow money from was Li Guobiao. She knew that he was a rich second-generation and had plenty of money and notes.
At the beginning, it was because of this point in him that Su Qing was so foolish as to want to go to the city with him.
"Sister-in-law, you're here!" A young man suddenly appeared in front of Su Qing.
Su Qing looked up and recognized that it was the young man who helped Lu Xingchen yesterday. "Little brother, what's your name?" She was so busy chatting with Lu Xingchen last time that she forgot his name.
"Report to sister-in-law! My name is Chen Ruifeng. You can call me Xiao Chen or Xiao Feng." As Chen Ruifeng spoke, he stood at attention with neat movements and wanted to salute.
"Okay, come on, Comrade Xiaofeng, you really don't have to be so polite." Su Qing was frightened by the salute.
"Yes, sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, I just got the food!" Chen Ruifeng straightened his back habitually, and Su Qing also began to get used to his appearance.
"Su Qing, then you eat. I'll go back first." Seeing that Su Qing ignored him, Li Guobiao felt embarrassed and left after saying that.
"Where does your captain live? Can you take me to see it now?" Su Qing originally wanted to ask Xiao Feng not to stand at attention, salute, and speak stiffly, but then she changed her mind and realized that this was an instinctive habit in his bones, so she had to give up.
"Yes, sister-in-law! I'll take you there right now. Give me your luggage." Chen Ruifeng took the luggage off Su Qing's shoulders.
"We're here, sister-in-law." Chen Ruifeng said, pointing to the house on the far east side.
Su Qing followed Chen Ruifeng through a small courtyard and entered the room.
The room is not big, and the big bed on the side is very eye-catching. It is fully equipped with wardrobes, tables, chairs, benches and so on.
The door, walls, windows and bedside were all covered with Double Happiness stickers, and Su Qing felt warm in her heart.
Just when I was about to ask about the big bed, I felt something was wrong. Su Qing nodded and expressed satisfaction, "Ah, I have eaten, there is nothing to do here. If you haven't eaten, go eat first."
"Reporting to sister-in-law, I have eaten. This is the meal I prepared for you, and these meal tickets, Captain Lu asked me to give them to you, I put them all here!" After saying that, Chen Ruifeng closed the door very politely and left.
When Su Qing was putting away her clothes, she found that Lu Xingchen had prepared sanitary napkins and other feminine products for her, which showed how attentive he was.
You still have a conscience. I thought he ignored Teacher Di’s problems, but today I found out that he often goes to take care of the teacher and cleans the room for her. In Su Qing's eyes, Lu Xingchen's image has changed slightly.
I used to think that he had some negative labels such as being full of liars, talking nonsense, irresponsible, and not caring about people, but today it seems that these labels are not very appropriate.
Maybe this is just an appearance. Time will tell what a person's true character is. Let's see how long you can keep pretending.
After packing up my personal belongings, there was no other entertainment in the room, and it was not like in my previous life where I could have a smartphone to play with at any time.
Su Qing was bored and waited until dark. After waiting for Lu Xingchen for a long time without seeing him come back, she fell asleep in the bed without realizing it.
It was not until a "bang" sounded that Su Qing woke up from her dream.
Su Jing opened her sleepy eyes and said, "Yaoyao, go and see what's going on."
Does this guy think he is in his own boudoir?
After a while, seeing no one answered, she sat up lazily and found that she was not at home.
Su Qing slapped her forehead and seemed to wake up a little, knowing her situation.
She came to the door, which was ajar. It was windy outside, and she guessed that the sound just now came from the door.
But that's not right. It's already late at night outside and I clearly remember locking the door before going to bed.
Is there a thief?
The night was quiet, and thinking of this, Su Qing tightened her clothes.
There was another "bang" sound, and Su Qing collapsed to the ground with a "wow".
I finally mustered up the courage to stand up and tried to close the door.
At this moment the door was suddenly opened. Su Qing's pupils shrank, her legs softened, her back felt cold, and she screamed in fright!
But the person who came in took her into his arms.
