A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

What reward will be given in Chapter 254?

Lu Congyue blocked both of her hands with one hand.

"Trying to shut me up? You can't do that with your hands." He chuckled and kissed her. "You have to do it like this..."

Early in the morning, Zhuang Qingxiang woke up feeling refreshed, pushed away the hand that was across her waist, and quickly got out of bed.

Lu Congyue didn't bother her last night, he just kissed her, and she had a good night's sleep, feeling refreshed.

Lu Congyue also woke up, and Zhuang Qingxiang sped up even more when she saw this.

She knew him; she really wanted to tease him that morning.

"Awake?" Lu Congyue woke up and saw that Zhuang Qingxiang was already dressed and got off the kang (heated brick bed). He was puzzled and asked, "Why did you get up so early today? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"You go to sleep, I'm awake now, I'll go make breakfast."

As soon as she left, Lu Congyue felt empty in his arms and couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up.

Seeing that the three children were still fast asleep, he said to Zhuang Qingxiang, "Just cook some porridge, I'm going for a run, and I'll buy some fried dough sticks and steamed buns while I'm at it."

"Okay," Zhuang Qingxiang replied.

While cooking porridge, I steamed some egg custard for the kids to supplement their nutrition.

After breakfast, Lu Congyue took the two of them with them, along with their marriage certificate and household registration book.

Zhuang Qingxiang saw it and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Soon, she had nothing to do with the man surnamed Qian anymore, which was great.

Lu Congyue acted swiftly, using his connections to transfer Zhuang Qingxiang and their two children to his household registration within a few days. The two children were also officially renamed Lu Yue and Lu Chenglin.

Upon receiving the new household registration booklet, Lu Congyue looked at the name on it and felt extremely satisfied.

It's so nice to have a complete family.

When Zhuang Qingxiang saw the household registration booklet, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears.

"Lu Congyue, thank you..." She was incredibly grateful for his thoughtfulness and kindness, and for accepting her and her two children, giving them a real home.

Regardless of whether he will regret it later, at this moment, he is serious about giving her a home.

He never looked down on her background or her dirty past...

"Thank you so much." She couldn't help but hug him and thank him repeatedly.

Lu Congyue rarely enjoyed her taking the initiative to embrace him, so he quickly hugged her tightly to soothe her emotions. Once she calmed down, he whispered in her ear, "How do you plan to thank me?"

Zhuang Qingxiang: "..."

Lu Congyue: "Tonight..."

"Shut up!" Zhuang Qingxiang glared at him hurriedly, her previous feeling of being touched vanished without a trace. "Aren't you afraid that Yueyue will hear us?"

"I didn't say anything," Lu Congyue said frankly. "Why are you so scared? Are you thinking...?"

Zhuang Qingxiang took a deep breath, pushed him away forcefully, and said coldly, "You can sleep in that room tonight, I'm on my period."

Lu Congyue's face immediately fell.

He had been celibate for several days, but because she complained of being tired, he figured he might get something out of her if he brought the household registration book back today.

"I'm not going," he said shamelessly. "I'm a married man now, I want to sleep with my wife in my arms."

"Didn't I say I..."

"I'll just cuddle and sleep, I won't do anything else," Lu Congyue interrupted her. "Don't even think about kicking me out."

Zhuang Qingxiang thought to herself: It's up to you whether you leave or not. If you feel uncomfortable at night, you'll have to suffer by yourself.

As expected, Lu Congyue didn't move out that night; he obediently held her as they slept.

Zhuang Qingxiang, however, couldn't sleep.

For some reason, even though she was menstruating, she still felt a strong urge for sex.

Especially when the man you like is lying next to you.

She loved his body and his scent terribly.

She shifted her position and quietly reached out her hand.

He has strong muscles, and I like to touch them.

Lu Congyue, who was just about to fall asleep, gasped and grabbed the mischievous hand.

"what?"

Zhuang Qingxiang, her face burning hot, said, "I can't sleep."

"You touch me because you can't sleep?" Lu Congyue couldn't believe it.

Zhuang Qingxiang was also reckless: "What? You won't let me touch you?"

Lu Congyue was speechless: "You're not on your body..."

"I was just touching you, what else do you want?" Zhuang Qingxiang retorted. "Just tell me if you're going to let me or not? If you don't, don't ever touch me again!"

This was the first time Lu Congyue had heard her make this sound; it was both coquettish and reproachful, and it was really annoying.

"Here you go." Lu Congyue quickly let go. "Do whatever you want."

Zhuang Qingxiang was happy, but Lu Congyue almost gritted his teeth to pieces.

Then he hugged her and whimpered, "You did this on purpose... What am I supposed to do? Please help me..."

Zhuang Qingxiang disagreed: "I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep."

She turned over and went to sleep, ignoring the man behind her who was gritting his teeth.

When Lu Congyue woke up the next day, he still had a mournful look on his face.

Zhuang Qingxiang pretended not to see it.

She's not feeling well, so she'll just have to bear with it.

Having gotten her period, Zhuang Qingxiang didn't want to move around much, and didn't even want to go out to buy groceries.

After staying at home for three days, and seeing that there wasn't even a potato left, Zhuang Qingxiang finally cheered up and decided to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to buy some vegetables.

She told Xiao Luyue to stay home and watch over her two younger brothers, making sure they didn't fall off the kang (a heated brick bed) when they rolled over, and then she quickly went out with her vegetable basket.

When we arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, there wasn't even a single leafy green vegetable in sight.

Zhuang Qingxiang understood; after all, it was winter, and the only things available to eat were potatoes and cabbage.

After wandering around the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that the pastry counter had a new product, which was none other than the steamed millet cake with milk flavor that she had made for Dai Hongying.

Zhuang Qingxiang was slightly taken aback.

"Hey, are you buying or not? If not, don't stand here." The saleswoman said impatiently when she saw her standing in front of the counter for a long time without moving.

Zhuang Qingxiang snapped out of her daze and pointed at the steamed millet cake with milky aroma, asking, "When... was this served?"

"The other day? What's wrong? Haven't tried it yet?" the saleswoman scoffed. "This is a new product from the food factory, it's very popular. But are you going to buy it or not? You're getting in the way, you know?"

Zhuang Qingxiang smiled, shook her head, and turned to leave.

She was somewhat surprised that the snacks she made for Dai Hongying had ended up on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative and were supposedly quite popular.

But this was just something she made on a whim, why do you all like it so much?

Then make some more and sell them on the black market...

After thinking about it, I rejected the idea myself.

After arriving in the provincial capital, she hadn't figured out the location and rules of the black market, and she didn't have any friends like Sun Yongxian to help her, so it was really inconvenient for her to go to the black market.

Another reason is that, in her view, people from the provincial capital are all worldly-wise, and she's unsure if they'll like what she makes.

It seems that many people like it now.

Zhuang Qingxiang walked briskly home.

This means that when I have time to go to the black market in the future, I can make a lot of money.

When Zhuang Qingxiang returned home, Lu Congyue also came back, bringing potatoes, cabbage, and a chicken.

Seeing that she had also bought some, Lu Congyue chuckled, "I forgot to tell you, I can buy these things myself. It's cold, so you should stay home as much as possible."

Zhuang Qingxiang shook her head: "Let's not talk about that. I'm telling you, I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and found something good."
