Chapter 010: Sister-in-law and Younger Brother

In the small courtyard.

Xu Zhou sat on the threshold of the kitchen, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, looking at Lu Yun who was boiling water behind the stove.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the noodles will be lumpy in a while."

Lu Yun said, stuffed a few sticks of coarse wood into the stove, stood up, lifted the lid of the pot, and scooped a few scoops of water into it.

Xu Zhou nodded and began to snort.

At this time, it would be good to have another clove of garlic, but in fact, it is not good, and kissing your mouth may be disgusted.

"Husband, can you not call me Yun'er in the future?" Lu Yun sat behind the stove and blinked her eyes and looked at Xu Zhou cautiously.

"Why?" Xu Zhou raised his head and wondered.

Lu Yun said: "The custom in the capital is to be called Yun Niang, so that it is closer. ”

Xu Zhou listened and nodded as if he didn't understand.

The names of X Niang and X Sister should be local customs, such as calling Sister XX refers to an unmarried girl, and calling XX Niang refers to a married woman.

Xu Zhou tried to scream: "Yun Niang? ”

Lu Yun smiled happily, revealing her white teeth: "Hey." ”

Xu Zhou said again: "Then don't call me husband in the future!" ”

This time it was Lu Yun's turn to be puzzled and frowned: "Why?" ”

"I don't think it sounds."

"What's that called, husband?"

Xu Zhou thought of a few names in his heart.

For example, "baby", "good brother", "dear", "husband" and "father-in-law".

But I don't think it's appropriate.

"Let's call it Xiaozhou." Xu Zhou finally said.

Lu Yun showed an embarrassed look on his face, shook his head, and refused to say anything.

Xu Zhou is her husband.

The feudal etiquette and dogma taught her from an early age that she should respect her husband and obey her husband's orders.

How can she call her husband by his nickname?

If this is known to others, it will be laughed at.

"Then if you don't call it, I won't call it either." Xu Zhou lowered his head to eat noodles, arrogantly like a child.

Lu Yun hesitated forward, slowly squatted down in front of Xu Zhou, hugged one of Xu Zhou's arms and said pitifully: "Husband, I can't scream, I don't dare to scream." ”

Xu Zhou knocked Lu Yun's smooth and full forehead with the end of the chopsticks, and said with a slight smile: "I'm used to screaming, call to listen?" I want to hear it. ”

Lu Yun shook her head, pursed her lips, and refused to scream anything.

"Yun Niang, Yun Niang, Yun Niang......"

The next moment, Xu Zhou's mouth was like a machine gun, calling Yun Niang over and over again.

Lu Yun blushed, and finally tried to scream: "Xiao, Xiaozhou? ”

Xu Zhou smiled happily and said: "If Yun Niang feels too embarrassed, in the future, she will still be called a husband, a shopkeeper, or a master in front of outsiders." When there were only two of us at home, they called me Xiaozhou. ”

Lu Yun nodded slowly, her eyes shining.

For the title, Xu Zhou has his own calculations.

Start with a small boat, and the next step is "good brother".

Hee-hee, witty as me!

After finishing the noodles, Xu Zhou went to take a bath again, and went back to the house to sleep refreshingly.

Overnight, the bed board "creaked" again until the second half of the night.

……

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Yun still opened her eyes early and got up cautiously.

Knock Knock –

It is appropriate for the courtyard door to be knocked on.

With a spatula in his hand, Lu Yun, who leaned out half of his body from the kitchen, frowned:

Isn't it the same? (Bring it in)

Yesterday, today...... There was a knock on the door.

Lu Yun held a spatula in his hand, came to the back of the door, and asked, "Who?" ”

"I'm looking for my big brother!" There was a slight green sound outside the door.

A string of question marks appeared on Lu Yun's forehead: "??? ”

The person outside the door hurriedly explained: "May I ask if this is Xu Zhou's home?" My name is He Bao, and I am Brother Xu's colleague in the yamen. ”

Lu Yun opened the courtyard door with confidence, and when he saw He Bao outside the door, he let down his guard and asked He Bao to come in.

When he saw Lu Yun for the first time, He Bao's eyes were straight.

But he immediately lowered his head and was very embarrassed.

Or the truth that his mother taught him: the eldest brother's woman, you can't worry about it, you can't even look at it.

"Hello sister-in-law, I'm here to ask my eldest brother to be on duty together."

He Bao bent down to say hello and took the gifts he had bought at the market in the morning.

Two catties of pork, a box of dim sum handed over.

He's a sincere young man.

When he returned home last night, he told his family about his stay in the county jail.

The old lady asked He Bao to buy some gifts and send them to the door to express her gratitude.

Lu Yun was a little flattered and accepted the gift.

asked He Bao to sit casually in the courtyard, but Xu Zhou hadn't gotten up yet.

He Bao didn't dare to wander around the yard when Lu Yun went into the kitchen to work.

Just sit at the table with your hands on your knees and your eyes looking around.

Big brother's home is different, clean and tidy.

The flowers are green, and there are grape trellises.

The most important thing is that there is such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home.

He Bao peeked at Lu Yun and quickly withdrew his eyes.

In the end, he came directly to a ruthless one and slapped himself.

"Peek again, I'll kill you."

It happened that Lu Yun fried a plate of dishes and brought it out, and it was very strange to see He Baoping slapping himself for no reason.

She didn't say anything, shook her head and went in and went on with her work.

"Sister-in-law, does Brother Xu usually sleep so late?" He Bao asked.

In the kitchen, Lu Yun's voice came: "Usually not like this." ”

Lu Yun felt that she had to save some face for her little husband and maintain his image.

I can't let my colleagues feel that Xu Zhou sleeps until three o'clock in the morning every day.

After asking, He Bao was silent.

He wasn't meant to be a talker.

This is the first time I have been a guest at someone else's house, and I don't know what to say.

Lu Yun saw He Bao's embarrassment and restraint, and came out to serve a bowl of tea.

"Let's eat tea first, my husband will have to wait a while to get up."

He Bao nodded, stood up, and took the tea with both hands.

"How old are you?"

He Baodao: "Fifteen. ”

Lu Yun nodded, and nodded meaningfully: "It's two years younger than the one in my family." ”

"Come in and sit." Lu Yun said again
