MTL: Transmigrated as the Male Lead's Young Stepmother [60s]

Chapter 61-70

Lu Nong found working in the library quite leisurely. Every day, she organized books, cleaned up, and then had the whole day to herself.

It was truly a paradise for someone without ambition—a salted fish paradise.

When a person has too much free time, they inevitably seek something to do. Her direct supervisor, Old Guo, liked to study stones. He spent his days repeatedly examining a few rocks. Once, he even recommended them to Lu Nong, who declined.

Lu Nong decided to write, crafting children's fairy tales with a science fiction theme. Who knows, maybe one day she could become a fairy tale master. If that didn't work out, she could always read them to her children as bedtime stories.

And so, Lu Nong began her daily life of "slacking off while writing in the Forbidden City."

Not long after, the New Year approached, and various units began to take their holidays one after another. Lu Nong's unit also had a break, and they distributed benefits, giving her two pounds of pork and two fish. Old Guo received more than she did; in addition to the pork and fish, he also got ten pounds of flour.

This was because she had just joined the workforce, and as a newcomer, her seniority wasn't enough. Next year, she would be able to get the same amount as Old Guo.

With no work to do at the unit, Lu Nong took her benefits and went straight home. As she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she noticed two familiar figures talking to the soldier on duty.

"I'm telling you, comrade, just let us in. We're really here to visit relatives. My sister Lu Nong lives inside. If you let me in to find her, I can prove that what I'm saying is true."

A handsome man of medium build explained with difficulty, while a woman beside him nodded continuously while holding a child.

The soldier on duty refused with a blank expression, saying, "Comrade, you must have an entry permit. That's the rule."

"Why can't you understand?" the man said, growing anxious.

Lu Nong frowned.

The two people were her brother Lu Moxing and her sister-in-law Song Dalan.

Lu Moxing inherited the good genes of the Lu family, looking handsome and stylish. Approaching thirty, he had not gained weight; instead, he possessed a scholarly temperament, dressed sharply in a fitted Zhongshan suit.

In comparison to Lu Moxing, Song Dalan seemed somewhat ordinary, with a dark complexion, average features, and a plump figure. However, she was dressed quite fashionably, sporting a wool coat, leather shoes, and a red scarf.

As the saying goes, "People rely on their clothing, just as horses rely on their saddles." In an era where most people appeared grimy, Song Dalan's outfit immediately elevated her unremarkable looks by several notches.

Still, when standing next to Lu Moxing, the contrast was striking. They didn't look like a couple but rather like two different generations.

This couple was together solely due to Song Dalan's good family background and the matchmaking of Lu's mother.

When she was young, Song Dalan's father was Lu Moxing's leader. One time, when she went to deliver lunch to her father, she took one look at the handsome Lu Moxing and cried, insisting that she wanted to marry him.

Song Dalan's father initially looked down on Lu Moxing, thinking him frivolous and merely good-looking. But he couldn't resist his daughter's insistence, so he hinted to Lu Moxing to come over to propose.
