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

Chapter 157 The Poor 80-Jin Little One

After more than a month, Lu Youyou returned to Dongzhou Island and felt eager to go home.

"I don't know if Zhuifeng has lost weight recently, and if he's eating well."

Gu Qingye drove the car to the family compound. When he was still dozens of meters away from Shen Xianling's house, a nimble figure jumped out from the Shen family yard.

Before the car stopped, Zhuifeng jumped in from the left window.

Gu Qingye thought that this guy was missing his old comrade, but Zhuifeng didn't even look at him. He kicked the window frame with his hind legs and pounced on Lu Youyou cleanly and neatly.

“Woof woof woof—woof woof—woof woof!”

Zhuifeng barked and licked, whimpering a few times. His previous calm and reliable image was gone, and he squeezed himself into a pitiful little thing weighing 80 pounds.

"Okay, okay, baby, I love you, I love you!" Lu Youyou hugged Zhuifeng and rubbed him all over.

Xiao Huihui endured for five seconds, but after hearing "baby", he couldn't bear it anymore and squeezed into the middle with a grin.

Five seconds of affection is enough. If you want to hug it, hug it too. We agreed that the three of us as a family cannot leave it behind.

Gu Qingye looked at this scene and didn't know what to say.

The passenger seat is so spacious that a person, a dog and a bird can squeeze together, leaving half of the space unoccupied.

Zhuifeng probably just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then there was no room for another person.

At this moment, he didn't even bother to spin his tail like a windmill. He chased the wind and took advantage of every opportunity to fill up the gaps with his big furry tail. The family of three was squeezed so tightly that no air could get through.

It was the first time that Gu Qingye realized that military dogs could be so clingy.

"Zhuifeng? Zhuifeng, where have you been?"

Wang Jinglian came out of the house and immediately came to greet Gu Qingye's car when she saw it.

"Xiaolu? You're back?! I was wondering why Zhuifeng suddenly ran away."

Lu Youyou got off the car with "difficulty", Xiao Huihui couldn't move even a step, and Zhuifeng couldn't continue to hang on her, so he could only stick tightly to her legs, without even a millimeter of space.

Lu Youyou took out a bag of apples from the car and handed them to her: "Thank you sister-in-law for taking care of Zhuifeng during this period of time."

Wang Jinglian quickly waved her hands and said, "What are you doing? You're too polite! To be honest, Zhuifeng has been a great help to me. It's the one who takes care of Xiaodong, playing with him during the day and watching over him at night. As his mother, I don't have to worry about anything."

Lu Youyou rubbed Zhuifeng's head. This guy probably regarded babysitting as a reward for staying overnight. He would do his best as long as they stayed for one day.

"Sister-in-law, please accept it, otherwise I won't dare ask you for help in the future."

Lu Youyou pulled Wang Jinglian's hand, but she was not as strong as her and could not force it through.

Wang Jinglian was really embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift. Zhuifeng lived in her house and brought his own food. Gu Qingye had prepared everything, and she only needed to add water to the bowl regularly.

After some pushing and pulling, Lu Youyou fell into a disadvantage and had no choice but to call for external help.

"Chasing the wind!"

Zhuifeng started quickly and ran towards Wang Jinglian's house with an apple in his mouth.

It pushed the door open as if it knew the way home, put the apple on the dining table, and came back and sat down in less than half a minute.

"Little Deer, you..." Wang Jinglian smiled bitterly, forgetting that she had Zhuifeng as a good helper.

"It's okay, sister-in-law. It's just a few apples. Consider it my gift to Xiaodong."

Wang Jinglian could only accept it helplessly: "Don't be so polite in the future!"

Such juicy apples are not easy to buy, so she started thinking about what kind of gift her family could give in return. Her hometown sent some pecans some time ago, and she would ask Xiaodong to send some over later.

As soon as Lu Youyou entered the house, she saw a large flowerpot full of emerald green.

"Are these the vegetables we planted earlier? Have they grown?"

She hadn't even thought about it. She'd dug several large pots of soil and was so exhausted she'd completely forgotten about it after being away for a month. Gu Qingye smiled and said, "Want to eat some? I'll stir-fry a few dishes for you later."

"Of course I do. After all, I've made a great effort, so I'll definitely give it a try."

Lu Youyou was not in a hurry to go into the house, but squatted in the yard and inspected each pot one by one.

In fact, if you look closely, these vegetables are not growing very well. The radishes and cabbages that Li Sanhua used to grow in Ancheng were all very juicy. Compared with these, these at home look like small cabbages.

She absolutely believed in Gu Qingye's skills. She could only say that the soil and water here were like this, and it was already good enough that they could grow anything.

"Zhuifeng, go to the kitchen and get me a basket."

Zhuifeng had just turned around when Gu Qingye came over with a bamboo basket and scissors. He rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Lu Youyou pointed at all the ones that were almost ripe and said, "I want them all!"

She picked up the scissors and was eager to try, but the tomatoes in front of her were neither red nor green, so she was afraid to start. "Is this thing not ripe yet?"

Gu Qingye turned his head and took a look: "Yes, the tomatoes need to wait another half a month, and the leeks over there are ready. Remember to leave two centimeters when you cut them."

Lu Youyou walked to the flowerpot at the edge. Is this leek?
This was far worse than what she remembered seeing sold in supermarkets. It was less than 20 centimeters tall, and its leaves were very narrow, making it look malnourished.

"Are you sure you can cut it? It won't grow any longer?"

"It can only grow this big. In a few days it will be old."

Okay, let’s cut it.

When Lu Youyou was cutting, she felt like she was harming the seedlings. The organic chives she ate in her previous life were taller than this.

"By the way, is there still a vegetable shortage on the island?"

Gu Qingye shook his head: "The rainstorm just stopped, it's hard to say. The climate this year is really strange."

Lu Youyou looked at the small cabbage at home. It was not easy to grow it. Only when she arrived on the island did she experience firsthand what it meant that water and rice were more expensive than oil.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingye went to return the car, and Lu Youyou packed her luggage at home.

Everything in the house is spotless, the sheets and quilt covers smell like sunshine, and you can tell at a glance that they have just been washed.

Everything was in its usual place, as if she had never left.

The world is still strange to her, but this place can already be called home.

"Little Deer, are you there?"

"Aunt Lu, I'm here!"

Lu Youyou patted Zhuifeng's head, and it understood and went out to open the door.

Xiaodong ran in first, smiling broadly: "Aunt Lu, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"

"Of course!"

Lu Youyou had just squatted down when Xiaodong rushed over enthusiastically, piling a large bag of walnuts in his hand into her arms.

"Aunt Lu, please have some walnuts!"

Wang Jinglian followed behind and nodded silently, saying, "Well done, son. Aunt Lu will definitely not be able to refuse such a gift."

Lu Youyou looked at Xiaodong with both laughter and tears. Sancun Ding himself was completely unaware and even took one out of his pocket and prepared to peel it for her to eat.

Unfortunately, hickory nuts and small meat sticks are natural enemies, and there is no way to deal with them. I can only go back to my mother for help.

Lu Youyou was about to speak when Wang Jinglian spoke first: "Xiaolu, this is a return gift from Xiaodong, you can't refuse it!"
