Reborn 1980: Cannon fodder mother changes her life against fate

"Cousin, I want to hire someone to help me supervise the progress and details of the decoration of my new house. Is there anyone you can recommend to me who is reliable?"

Chen Yu held her breath and filtered through the acquaintances in her mind, and it really reminded her of a careful and reliable person who knew the key to house construction.

This man lives next door to her, and he does some trivial jobs on weekdays, working part-time to earn money to support his dementia sister and widowed mother.Although his family is poor, he is honest and frank, and he is not greedy at all.

"Okay, please recommend this person to me." Lu Chuyao thought to himself, it can be regarded as her doing a good deed.

Chen Yu untied her apron and stuffed it into the basket under the cart, and then said to Lu Chuyao, "I'll take you there now, since they haven't gotten off work yet."

"Okay, get in the car and I'll take you." Lu Chuyao kicked up his legs and quickly jumped into the car, driving away from the stall with his cousin-in-law.

Fortunately, the neighbor Chen Yu knew was at home today and did not go out to work part-time, otherwise their trip would have been in vain.After explaining his intention, the neighbor happily agreed.

At the same time, I carefully introduced the work content and precautions to him. The only thing left was to take him to the new house construction site and tell him the route.

"It's still early, should we go there now?"

The man nodded and said cautiously, "You lead the way on the bike, and I'll follow behind." His family didn't have a big bumper, and he couldn't ride in the same bike as his boss. He wanted to avoid suspicion between strangers, so he had to make this suggestion.

"My house is quite far from here... let's do this, cousin, if anyone has a car nearby, we can rent it for two hours."

Most people would most likely not lend their cars to strangers, but there were always those who were willing to do so for the sake of money. Lu Chuyao was very sure of this.

In the end, as she expected, she borrowed the car.

Neighbors who brought their cousins ​​​​into the new house came to the new house one after another, introduced him to the masters who were working on it, and told him what the current progress was, including what to do next week, etc.

"is that OK?"

"No problem, don't worry, Ms. Lu, I will help you supervise it." The man said sincerely.

After settling the matter, the first thing she did when she got home in the afternoon was to enter the kitchen.It has been a long time since I cooked a delicious dinner for my husband and children.

Tonight, she was going to roll up her sleeves and go for it.

Stir-fried diced chicken with potatoes, and steamed sea bass. The sea bass was fresh fish that I met a man fishing by the lake on the way back in the afternoon and asked him to buy it.In addition, we also made a mushroom soup and a plate of crisp and refreshing cabbage.

After cooking all the dishes, the sky outside the window gradually turned into a hazy blue mist, and soldiers off duty appeared one after another at the entrance of the courtyard.

Before Song Mingze entered the house, he smelled an alluring aroma of rice. Li Jianbin, who was traveling with him, looked at this side with envy and said, "Captain Song, you are in for a treat tonight." Unlike his family, where all three meals are served. The clear soup is watery, with pickles and potatoes.

He smiled brightly at his neighbor's envy, his eyes full of satisfaction and happiness.

"Wash your hands and eat!"

Lu Chuyao thoughtfully filled the rice bowls for the three of them, poured juice on them, and sat at the dining table with a smile, waiting for her husband to wash his hands and come out.

Seeing his wife's appearance, Song Mingze hesitated at the bathroom door, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'll wait for you to have dinner together." The dazzling and exquisite face was like a flower blooming in spring, but in the current situation, Song Mingze couldn't help but feel wary...what did his wife do again!

Throughout the dinner, he had been waiting for his wife to say something, but the other party did not act according to common sense.

Just ask, "Is today's food delicious? Is the fish fresh?"

"It's very delicious. Where did you buy the fish?"

"Look for fresh fish bought by the fishing master at the lake in Songpinggou."

Song Mingze nodded in understanding and tasted two more chopsticks of fish meat. "Did you see your favorite house on the street today?" he said in a tentative tone, trying to make innuendoes.

"It can't be that fast. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'll look for it slowly." Lu Chuyao finished the topic with a few moves.

After the two of them finished eating, Song Mingze took his son's small rice bowl and said, "Dad, come and feed me. Look at your place. There is food everywhere. Do you know this is waste?"

"waste?"

"Yes, the farmer uncle works hard in the fields. You are not a good boy who wastes rice every meal."

The couple adheres to the principle of teaching their son by words and deeds, regardless of whether he understands or not. They should take the opportunity to educate them on the spot.

Song Zhiyu pouted and answered his father obediently, "I am a good boy."

"Dad, I know you're good, come on, open your mouth." A spoonful of rice soaked in soup was poured in, and Song Zhiyu immediately started chewing.

Lu Chuyao sat beside him thoughtfully. Seeing that his son was almost done eating, he said, "Husband, I plan to take my son to Pengcheng for a trip in two days."

Song Mingze put down the bowl and looked at his wife helplessly with an expression that I knew was on his face.

"Can I say no?"

His son was just about two years old, and his wife was weak. How could he safely let the two of them go on a trip?

Lu Chuyao pouted, his eyes firmly met his man's, then shook his head and said, "No, I have already decided."

Afraid that her husband would feel uncomfortable, she trotted up behind him, hugged his neck and said coquettishly, "Nothing will happen. I will protect my son. Besides, there is also Zhou Tao with us. What are you afraid of?"

"Hey, I want to see the sea and experience the cultural scenery that is different from the inland cities. Moreover, taking my son out to see the world will help him grow up. When you have a vacation in the future, we will go to see the snow-capped mountains as a family. Grasslands, rainforests, seas, okay?”

Song Mingze was so shaken by his wife that he almost vomited out the meal he had just eaten. He quickly stopped his wife from tightening her arms around his neck, "Okay, okay, if you don't agree, you will murder your husband, right?"

"Hey~" She stuck out her tongue and pecked her husband's face.

Regarding hiring someone to supervise the decoration of the new house, Lu Chuyao told her husband and reminded him that the whole house circuit can be installed next week.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. But how many days are you going to take your son out to play?" He turned his head and met his wife's guilty and evasive eyes.

Lu Chuyao hesitated and said, "No plan. If it's not fun outside, I'll come back early."

Song Mingze still relied on Song Mingze to book the berth to Pengcheng. He had no choice but to bear the pain of two people sitting on a hard seat and sleeping on the road with his own wife and son.

The mother and son had very little luggage, most of which were Song Zhiyu's essential supplies. As for clothes and shoes, she didn't bring any extra options.Lu Chuyao's idea is that Pengcheng has them anyway, so he can go directly to the local clothing city to purchase them.

It was already afternoon when she arrived in Pengcheng. She went straight to the best hotel in the city and booked two rooms, one for her cousin Zhou Tao.
