If you're not sure, you need to ask.

Lu Heng turned his head to look at the window and saw that the curtains were drawn.

He rolled up the thin quilt and got out of bed, preparing to get his clothes when he accidentally saw a pair of his boxer briefs lying beside the bed.

Lu Heng: ...

As if he had discovered something big.

When Lu Heng dressed neatly and walked out of the room, he saw his wife's back at a glance.

Qiao Qingqing was chatting with Aunt Xiumei, when suddenly Aunt Xiumei's eyes fixed behind her and smiled: "Hey, Comrade Lu is awake?"

Qiao Qingqing turned around quickly and saw Lu Heng's face getting hot. She quickly retracted her gaze and said to Aunt Xiumei, "Okay, let's just say this first and we'll go over later."

Feng Xiumei smiled and waved her hand, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

"Comrade Lu, I'm leaving first. Remember to come to my house for dinner with your wife tonight."

Lu Heng nodded politely.

As soon as Feng Xiumei left, Qiao Qingqing turned around and walked back with the basket.

She walked and teased the chicks in the basket, pretending to be nonchalant.

Lu Heng walked up and tried to find a topic to talk about: "What were you talking about just now? You seemed very happy?"

Qiao Qingqing didn't even look up, and responded vaguely: "I talked to Aunt Xiumei a while ago about buying a few chicks to raise. Aunt Xiumei just brought the chicks from her home to me. By the way, Accountant Zhou and Zhiqing Zhang have already got their marriage certificate and come back, and..."

There is also teasing about Lu Heng's drunken look.

Qiao Qingqing was a little embarrassed to say that she just thought it was interesting when they started talking about it and didn't think much about it. Only now did she realize that she was talking bad about others behind their backs.

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She coughed and then stammered, "You drank too much during dinner, and Aunt Xiumei noticed that you were drunk and showed concern for you. I... I told you the truth that you were so drunk when you got home that you took a cold shower and fell asleep on the bed without even taking off your clothes."

We skipped the part where Lu Heng ate the dumpling soup and even washed the dishes, otherwise the host would feel uncomfortable hearing it. After all, how can you come back from someone's meal and then have another meal?

As Lu Heng listened to her description, a picture gradually formed in his mind.

For a moment, the atmosphere became increasingly awkward.

After a moment of silence, Lu Heng whispered, "Did I embarrass you?"

Qiao Qingqing turned her back. If it were just that, she would definitely tease Lu Heng a few words. The problem was that later she wanted to help Lu Heng change his wet clothes, but ended up seeing Lu Heng naked. How could she feel comfortable continuing the discussion?

"No, that's what happens when you're drunk, isn't it? Now that you're sober, you can help make a chicken coop, and we can raise a few chickens at home, so we don't have to worry about having meat to eat during the New Year."

When Qiao Qingqing said this, Lu Heng felt relieved, yet a little melancholy.

It sounds like he and his wife didn't have any inappropriate affairs...

Lu Heng sighed heavily in his heart.

But he didn't show it on his face, "Okay, I'll go right away."

When Qiao Qingqing saw him turn around to get the wood board and tools, she felt relieved and then curled the corners of her mouth in amusement.

After being frightened, she no longer dared to help Lu Heng put on dry clothes. She took a thin blanket and roughly covered him with it, then left the room.

After that, she lost all desire to sleep and went to the field to pull out some of the vegetable seedlings that grew too densely so that they could grow better.

Pulling out the radish seedlings, washing them and frying them is also quite delicious.

This activity made her more energetic. After cleaning the vegetable garden, she went back into the space to work.

Two hours passed unknowingly. Qiao Qingqing heard Aunt Xiumei knocking on the door and calling out from outside the space, so she hurried out to open the door.

The two of them stood at the door and chatted for about ten minutes when Lu Heng woke up.
