1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 143 I feed you?
"Xiaolu, you're doing pretty good!"

Wang Jinglian wiped the sweat from her forehead while leaning on a shovel. Turning around, she saw that Lu Youyou hadn't fallen behind at all.

People always judge others by their appearance. Lu Youyou looks nowhere near the "working people". Wang Jinglian didn't originally regard her as the main force in digging and was even prepared to lend her a hand.

Lu Youyou smiled on the surface but felt bitter in her heart. She shoveled the yard at home for three consecutive days and plowed the entire yard before it "seemed" effortless.

But it only "appeared" that even with the protection of gloves, her palms still hurt.

"Sister-in-law, please stop laughing at me. I'm just a show-off. How can I be so arrogant?"

Lu Youyou could even accurately predict that in a quarter of an hour at most, her arms would start to hurt, and in half an hour she would not be able to continue digging even with gloves.

Wang Jinglian smiled and said, "We're not going to open up the mountains to build a road. We're just digging some soil to grow vegetables. It doesn't matter what kind of rack it is, as long as it's enough."

Looking at the hill-like pile of earth, Lu Youyou smiled bitterly: "I hope the seedlings can grow better, otherwise it will be a shame for our efforts."

Although she had never farmed, she had watched a few agricultural programs in her previous life, and she had the impression that the soil suitable for growing vegetables did not look like this.

"Sister-in-law, is the soil in the vegetable garden on the island also like this?"

Wang Jinglian's face showed a hint of worry. "Yes, this is the best. In Dongzhou Island, any seed sown in this climate should yield a harvest. Unfortunately, the soil isn't good enough. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to transport all our food and drink here from land."

A sister-in-law from Northeast China had a bitter face as she dug: "There's no such poor land in my area. If my family knew I was digging this kind of soil to grow vegetables, they would definitely think I was seriously ill!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. It's better for the vegetables to grow poorly than for us to have nothing to eat. We eat potatoes every meal at home, and the children run away faster than rabbits when they hear they have to eat."

After hearing this, Lu Youyou suddenly lost hope in her own small vegetable garden. The hardware was not good and the software was also half-baked. Could she really grow anything?
Which vegetables can survive in saline-alkali land?

There is no way to improve the varieties for the time being. I will go back and look for books on this subject.

A group of people are digging hard. It concerns their three meals a day. Who dares to relax?

Lu Youyou estimated that he could fill three large flower pots, so he stopped decisively.

I found a random rock to sit on. Except for my legs, almost every muscle in my upper body was crying.

Now, I won’t dream about parameters and materials tonight, and I will be able to completely relax my mind. The only thing is that the price is too high.

On the way back, Lu Youyou didn't try to push the cart. Her arms were shaking and she definitely couldn't hold the cart. After arriving home, it was Wang Jinglian who helped shovel the soil into the flower pots.

"Xiaolu, don't lift heavy objects these days. Leave the planting and watering of vegetables to Captain Gu." Wang Jinglian joked.

Lu Youyou smiled and nodded. This was true. Men should use it when necessary.

"Then I'll go first, you have a good rest."

"Sister-in-law, take care."

After washing his hands tremblingly and changing his clothes with gritted teeth, Lu Youyou threw himself onto the bed and couldn't even pull the quilt off. He swarmed into the quilt and lay spread-eagle on the bed, sighing, not sure if it was in pain or relief.

When you are extremely tired, you fall asleep instantly, just like you have been given anesthesia. You are awake one second and your brain is not working the next.

When Gu Qingye came back, he saw that the three flower pots in the house were all full. Seeing Lu Youyou sleeping soundly, he felt that he had done all the farm work.

There was a pot of cabbage, a pot of tomatoes, and a pot of cucumbers. There was also some soil left piled up in the corner, where I planted celery and peppers. There were also some onions, ginger, and garlic in the corners.

After finishing all this, Gu Qingye quickly prepared dinner before going into the house to call people.

Lu Youyou, who was exhausted, automatically blocked out the outside sounds and received no response after being called several times.

In desperation, he could only turn the person over manually and pick him up to lean against himself.

"Youyou, get up and eat." "Youyou?"

Lu Youyou finally woke up, but she had no intention of opening her eyes. With someone leaning on her back, she completely relaxed and didn't use any strength at all.

"I want to sleep."

"Eat first and then sleep."

"tired."

"Even if you're tired, you still have to eat."

"I can't lift my arms, my hands hurt, my waist hurts, my neck hurts, and my back hurts."

After saying a lot of things like reading out the menu, Lu Youyou moved a little and immediately collapsed. My goodness, everything below his head and above his thighs was no longer his!
Regret, regret it so much, she really is only fit to enjoy a peaceful life.

Isn’t mental work fun? Why do you have to torture yourself?

Now only her facial muscles could move freely. She squinted her eyes and pursed her lips, and her pitiful voice went straight into Gu Qingye's heart.

"I'm paralyzed..."

The low laughter reached Lu Youyou's ears, and the vibration of her chest spread throughout her body.

"Shall I feed you?"

Lu Youyou is so shameful. She is in her sixties and still wants others to feed her. Just knock her out!

She wanted to shake her head, but Gu Qingye extended his index finger to her hand and said, "Try to see if you can hold it tight."

Her arms felt like they weighed a ton, and it took her a long time to lift them a little bit. Her handshake was like that of a prosthetic limb, or even worse, because she couldn't make a fist at all.

The damn excessive exercise and the damn muscle strain made her half disabled!

Gu Qingye kept smiling. He put a pillow on the headboard and helped her lean back: "I'll give you a massage after you finish eating."

Lu Youyou didn't want to open her eyes, as if that would not be embarrassing.

Gu Qingye had just sat down on the bed with the bowl in her hand when she heard several gurgling sounds. Good, very good, her damn stomach didn't let her go either!
Gu Qingye tried hard to flatten the corners of his mouth and scooped a spoonful of salad cucumber: "Youyou, open your mouth."

That’s it, no more struggling. Lu Youyou focused her attention on the fan. As long as she didn’t look at the person in front of her, she could pretend that the person in front of her was a robot.

But you know what, apart from the psychological shame, the feeling of having food served to you is actually quite good.

Gu Qingye understood her taste perfectly and scooped just the right amount each time. Not only did it not spill, it didn't even stain the area around her lips.

The mute lady couldn't help but ask: "How come you are so skilled?"

"With more practice, your hands will naturally become steady." Gu Qingye fed her another spoonful of minced meat tofu.

Lu Youyou didn't even bother to chew and swallowed it directly: "Who are you practicing with?"

"I've practiced reloading and throwing tens of thousands of times. With a close-range fixed target like feeding, the probability of a mistake is only 0.000000000001%."

What a cold joke, what a cold mouth!

Lu Youyou couldn't believe it!
Gu Qingye couldn't help laughing when he saw her: "Would you like some soup? I made tomato and egg soup today."

Lu Youyou nodded blankly, and in between blushing, she wondered whether liquid throwing could be just as accurate.
