Being Alone For The First Time

Advertisement

◎Can you please not catch me gathering wool alone?◎

 

Lu Jinzhou specially sent Li Xiang away and asked him to borrow a car from the machinery factory to go back first, while he waited here.

 

Of course, he had no intention of inviting Dong Jiaojiao to sit in his car. He just wanted to silently follow behind the purchasing car, just like when he arrived.

 

Unexpectedly, Dong Jiaojiao never showed up. Finally, the purchasing car drove away, and she rushed over in a hurry.

 

Seeing this, Lu Jinzhou showed up and invited her to go back with him.

 

Fortunately, Dong Jiaojiao did not refuse. He was worried that the other party would not be willing to ride in his car because of her prejudice against him.

 

Dong Jiaojiao did hate people named Lu, but there was still a layer of separation between Lu Jinzhou and Lu Yao.

 

And this clearly shows that she is taking advantage. Why doesn’t she agree and just treat him as her uncle to pay off her niece’s debt?

 

Lu Jinzhou is a person who is very sensitive to smells. Dong Jiaojiao was sitting next to him. The space in the car was small, and he suddenly felt that the other person’s scent was everywhere.

 

Even he smelled of Dong Jiaojiao, and this feeling made him feel a little hot.

Lu Jinzhou drove intently while always paying attention to the people around him.

 

Neither of them spoke. For some reason, Lu Jinzhou’s hand holding the steering wheel was sweating.

 

In the past, when someone was staying with Lu Jinzhou, he was definitely the person who felt nervous, and it was the other person who tried every possible means to find topics to break the silence.

 

Lu Jinzhou has always looked cold, dignified, and solemn.

 

But now, less than ten minutes after the car drove out, Lu Jinzhou became a little unbearable, so he started to look for words.

“Comrade Dong Jiaojiao, your pickled cucumbers are very good, and the buns are also very delicious.”

 

After eating meat buns at Dong Jiaojiao’s house last night, he didn’t feel like vomiting at all, and thought he could eat meat.

 

But today at noon, Li Xiang brought meat dishes and he felt uncomfortable when he smelled the smell.

 

The doctor said it was a psychological problem.

 

Lu Jinzhou wondered if it was because he had different feelings for Dong Jiaojiao that he could only eat meat and fish when he was with Dong Jiaojiao?

However, in addition to the meat buns, Dong Jiaojiao’s pickled cucumbers were also really delicious, completely different from what he had eaten before.

 

Dong Jiaojiao curled her lips, of course it was delicious, it was a cucumber produced by Space.

 

Seeing that this man had taken away her cucumbers and was still making sarcastic remarks, Dong Jiaojiao taunted unceremoniously: “Lu Jinzhou, I found that you are quite thick-skinned. If your niece robs my man, you rob my cucumber, do you people surnamed Lu like to steal other people’s things? But can you not catch me picking up wool alone? Rabbits will bite people when they are anxious. Let me tell you, I am not someone to be bullied. ”

(Can you not catch me picking up wool alone?” 拾柴独不着手吗 (shií zhāi dān bù zhuó shǒu ma), is a Chinese idiom that means “Can’t you see I’m busy with my own affairs?” or “Can’t you leave me alone to handle my own business?”)

 

Sure enough! Smart people sometimes make fools.

 

Lu Jinzhou obviously didn’t find the right topic. He originally wanted to praise the other party for her good cooking skills, but now it was self-defeating and made people angry.

Lu Jinzhou licked his lips and said in a low and magnetic voice: “I’m sorry, I…I didn’t mean to bully you. I will return the cucumber to you when I get back. As for what Lu Yao did, when I went back last night, I have taught her a lesson, and I believe she will not do it again.”

 

Actually, Lu Jinzhou also wanted to ask Dong Jiaojiao, if Lu Yao no longer goes to He Chengjun, does she still want a divorce?

 

But with their current relationship, it’s definitely not appropriate to ask this kind of question.

 

Lu Jinzhou hesitated to speak, but finally closed his mouth.

 

Dong Jiaojiao knew very well that in the past Lu Yao might still listen to Lu Jinzhou’s words, but now Lu Yao had another soul living in her body, and she would never give up on He Chengjun.

Thinking of this, Dong Jiaojiao suddenly felt that she shouldn’t be angry with Lu Jinzhou because of Lu Yao.

 

After all, Lu Yao is not a real member of the Lu family.

 

Moreover, Lu Jinzhou seemed to know right from wrong and did not support Lu Yao indiscriminately.

 

So, Dong Jiaojiao put away the thorns on her body, smiled sincerely and said, “Thank you, Director Lu.”

 

Feeling that the other party’s attitude had obviously softened, Lu Jinzhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then quickly changed the unpleasant topic.

 

“By the way, I saw you going to the machinery factory at noon today. Do you have any friends in Lingnan City?”

 

Lu Jinzhou was familiar with Dong Jiaojiao’s situation. Her hometown was not here, so logically speaking, she shouldn’t know Chen Yuanjiang.

 

Lu Jinzhou suspected that someone else introduced them to each other.

 

Perhaps, it was still the kind of matchmaking introduction, under the guise of finding a job, maybe she was waiting for Dong Jiaojiao to get divorced.

 

If others knew that Lu Jinzhou thought this way, they would definitely give him countless rolls of eyes.

 

In the eyes of the matchmaker, apart from her good looks, Dong Jiaojiao has no merit whatsoever. Not only is she a rural registered permanent resident, but she is also married for the second time. How could she possibly be worthy of Chen Yuanjiang?

 

With Chen Yuanjiang’s conditions, how dare the matchmaker introduce Dong Jiaojiao to him like this, for fear of being scolded to death by the Chen family.

 

It can only be said that Lu Jinzhou has a filter for Dong Jiaojiao and thinks that she is good in everything and is more than enough to match Chen Yuanjiang.

 

Therefore, he was worried that Dong Jiaojiao would like Chen Yuanjiang. After all, objectively speaking, Chen Yuanjiang was much better than He Chengjun.

 

Dong Jiaojiao definitely couldn’t guess what Lu Jinzhou was thinking, but she had her own ideas.

 

Moreover, judging from her reaction, Lu Jinzhou obviously didn’t find the right topic for the second topic.

 

Dong Jiaojiao looked at Lu Jinzhou warily and asked, “Were you in the machinery factory at that time? Why didn’t I see you?”

 

Before getting the job done, Dong Jiaojiao didn’t want people to know that she was looking for a job because she was afraid He Chengjun will wreak havoc.

 

Lu Jinzhou didn’t realize Dong Jiaojiao’s concerns and said directly: “I’m having a meeting over there today. I know Chen Yuanjiang very well. He also told me that you want to work as a waiter in the canteen of the machinery factory.”

 

Dong Jiaojiao frowned. With a small face, he complained wildly in his heart, why did Chen Yuanjiang know Lu Jinzhou? This world is too small!

 

It’s just acquaintance, why did you tell Lu Jinzhou about her, why is Chen Yuanjiang, a grown man, so talkative, bad review!

 

“What’s wrong?” Lu Jinzhou turned to look at Dong Jiaojiao.

 

Seeing her frown, he thought she was worried about her work, and out of selfish motives, she kindly advised her:

 

“Actually, the job of a waiter is very hard. In addition to serving food, you also have to do hygiene and other things.” So, don’t do it!

 

Lu Jinzhou agreed that Dong Jiaojiao should find a job, but he didn’t want her to go to a machinery factory.

 

As for the reason, everyone knows it.

 

Even after his meeting in the afternoon, he specifically contacted his friends in the provincial government, and their archives office happened to be hiring.

 

If Dong Jiaojiao is willing, he can help introduce her, which will definitely be better than Chen Yuanjiang’s introduction.

 

The most important thing is that you can go to work directly without taking any exams.

 

Dong Jiaojiao didn’t know that Lu Jinzhou wanted to help her introduce a job, she just thought that he was a well-fed man who didn’t know the hungry man, so she glared at him angrily.

 

How difficult it is to find a job in the city now, let alone a job in the largest factory in Lingnan City.

 

Not to mention being a waiter in the cafeteria, even a toilet cleaner, there are a lot of people vying for the job.

 

Dong Jiaojiao endured her displeasure and said to Lu Jinzhou in a nice voice, “Director Lu, can I ask you a favor?”

 

“Of course, you tell me.” Lu Jinzhou was very happy to be able to help Dong Jiaojiao.

 

“Can you please not tell others that I’m looking for a job? Besides, I think the job of a waiter is very good and it also includes three meals a day.”

 

Lu Jinzhou paused. The job in the archives office doesn’t seem to include three meals a day, so… .We have to find a job that provides food for Dong Jiaojiao again.

 

He had to think carefully about which of his friends’ units provided three meals a day. He would call and ask when he went back later.

 

“Isn’t it possible?” Dong Jiaojiao asked again when Lu Jinzhou didn’t say anything.

 

“Of course!” Lu Jinzhou nodded quickly.

 

Then something came to mind, and after careful consideration, Lu Jinzhou asked: “Dong Jiaojiao, can I ask you a personal question?”

 

Dong Jiaojiao wanted to say, no!

 

But the other party had just promised to keep her secret. If she refuses now, is she suspected of turning her back on him?

 

So, I had no choice but to say: “Okay.” At worst, it would be a blind answer.

 

At the same time, she felt that Lu Jinzhou was very insidious. He must have asked her deliberately because he knew it was difficult for her to refuse.

 

Villain! hypocrite! Pooh!

 

“Are you looking for a job in the city and planning to get a divorce?….I’m not gossiping, but I heard from people in the family compound that He Chengjun is not in good health, so you want a divorce?”

 

Lu Jinzhou’s voice was as serious as He was doing an extremely difficult academic discussion, and in just ten seconds, his back was soaked with sweat.

 

Dong Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect Lu Jinzhou to ask this question. It was really inconsistent with his image.

 

Isn’t this called gossip? The energy of this gossip is almost the same as that of Liu Ping in their building.

 

However, Dong Jiaojiao didn’t mind telling Lu Jinzhou that she wanted a divorce, and she wasn’t worried that Lu Jinzhou would object to Lu Yao being with He Chengjun.

 

Because it’s useless for him to object!

 

Lu Yao came from the future, and if others believed the rumors that He Chengjun was inhumane, Lu Yao would definitely not believe it.

 

Who is He Chengjun? He is the male protagonist of the original book. Seven or eight times a night are all routine operations.

 

Even if He Chengjun is really dead, Lu Yao will never give up on him just because of the halo of the hero on his head.

 

Lu Jinzhou, the uncle who was separated by a layer, would definitely not be able to control Lu Yao, so Dong Jiaojiao was not worried at all.

 

She spread rumors everywhere that He Chengjun was not good, just to get a smooth divorce and build momentum for herself.

 

Who told her to get married in the military? If she wants a divorce, there must be a real reason.

 

Talking about emotional discord will never work. The army will only do ideological work for you. There must be an irreconcilable fact as the reason for divorce.

 

After much deliberation, only “He Chengjun can’t do it” is the most suitable!

 

So Dong Jiaojiao confessed to Lu Jinzhou: “That’s right! He Chengjun is not a man. I am a good young woman at such a young age. There is no reason to waste my time on him. My brother died to save him, He Chengjun If he wanted to repay his kindness, he shouldn’t have concealed his illness and hindered me. Now he refuses to divorce, and he uses my brother’s deathbed trust as a cover, saying that he will not care about me no matter what. He just wants to harm me! If my brother knew he was useless, how could he entrust me to him? He Chengjun is an ungrateful bastard!”

 

“Ahem…” Lu Jinzhou felt that Dong Jiaojiao was right, but the wording was a bit… .Simple and crude.

 

Dong Jiaojiao looked at the man beside her who was coughing violently and asked suspiciously: “Director Lu, what do you want to do by asking these questions? Do you want to persuade him to make peace? Or are you afraid that He Chengjun will harm your niece after the divorce? On this point, I can Let me tell you clearly, even if He Chengjun doesn’t divorce, he will harm your niece. No, it should be said that the two of them will harm each other. When the time comes, the gossip will be even worse. After all, He Chengjun is single. Lu Yao’s relationship can be said to be a free love, which is much better than hooking up like this now.”

 

Lu Jinzhou frowned. From Dong Jiaojiao’s words, he could clearly feel that the other party didn’t seem to care about Lu Yao hooking up with He Chengjun, and even hoped that they would be together.

 

Then he didn’t understand. In that case, why did she hate him because of Lu Yao?

 

Lu Jinzhou, who had been treated coldly from the first meeting, expressed dissatisfaction and expressed grievance in capital letters!

 

Dong Jiaojiao:….Brother, are you okay? Is’nt your focus a bit too far?
