At twenty-three years old, Shen Fenghua was plagued by infertility, making her marriage unstable. She had thought she could live her whole life alone, but the organization, hoping to give her a sta...
Shen Fenghua wanted to say a few more words to Qi Ye, but it was clear that the steel mill entrance wasn't a good place to talk. The two of them, each with a child, rode away on their bicycles.
The scene of watching Shen Fenghua walk away was exceptionally harmonious. Li Yanran stood there watching Shen Fenghua walk further and further away, feeling a bittersweet feeling in her heart that she couldn't describe.
It's wonderful that he witnessed the happiness and future of China in his lifetime. I hope that the family of four can stay together for a long, long time until the end of their lives.
Shen Fenghua had no idea that Li Yanran had such a beautiful wish for their family of four. At this moment, she had forgotten her friend because of her love for Li Yanran.
Why are you back at this time?
"If I don't come back now, when will I?" Qi Ye knew that Shen Fenghua was a little angry. When she left, she said that she would come back in three or four days at the shortest, and a week at the latest.
But he was gone for a month. If he comes back and doesn't properly apologize, it won't make sense.
Looking at Qi Ye's calm expression, Shen Fenghua snorted coldly, "I was thinking you'd wait until the kids' final exams before coming back."
It's important to know that Shen Fenghua values her child's school enrollment quite a bit, considering it a crucial turning point in his life.
The original plan was for the couple to take their two children to register together, but things turned out quite differently.
He spoke from experience, proving what it means for things to be unpredictable; some people go on missions abroad and never come back.
"You're really holding a grudge," Qi Ye said with a smile. "Alright, don't be angry anymore. I'll tell you slowly when we get home."
“Yes,” a little head popped out from the back seat, “Mom, let’s talk about it slowly when we get home, not now.”
Okay, I'll go home then.
Shen Fenghua rolled her eyes and instructed Nian'an, who was sitting in the back seat, "Be good, Mommy is going to speed up, so you have to hold me tight."
"Um!"
Nian'an nodded, stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Shen Fenghua's slender waist, her face serious, "Mom, I'm ready."
Shen Fenghua: "Then let's set off now!"
As it turns out, Shen Fenghua's idea of leaving Qi Ye behind was incredibly naive, regardless of whether she pedaled slowly or with all her might.
Qi Ye always followed her at a distance of three meters.
As time went on, Shen Fenghua simply gave up.
Yes, she was stupid. Soldiers treat cross-country running and training exercises with the ease of eating and drinking, while she was just sitting in the office and foolishly trying to compete with him.
Seeing that Shen Fenghua had lost her competitive spirit, Qi Ye slowly caught up and said softly, "Not playing anymore?"
Shen Fenghua: "..."
She glared at Qi Ye fiercely.
Humiliation, utter disgrace! She was determined to compete, but the other person said, "I'm not playing anymore?"
Not playing anymore?
How embarrassing!
"Play!" Shen Fenghua squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. Come on, let's go home first. I brought you some good stuff."
Shen Fenghua: "!!!"
She admitted that she was just an ordinary person, and what good girl wouldn't be tempted by a gift?
"It depends on your performance."
Qi Ye prepared a new outfit for Shen Fenghua, a dress that fit perfectly in size and waist. Shen Fenghua looked at it with disbelief and asked, "How did you do that?"
That's an incredibly accurate judgment.
Given the accuracy of the size of this dress, even if she herself were there, she might not be able to find one that fits so well.
Qi Ye remained calm and said without changing his expression, "I've seen and touched every part of your body, you're all the same size..."
Before I could finish speaking, a pillow that was thrown at my head made me manually mute my microphone.
That night, they were naturally very affectionate. After all, they had to understand Qi Ye. As an older single man, he had finally gotten married and was still young and inexperienced. He was just like a young boy.
She left just a few days after getting married, and now that she's back, she's causing all sorts of trouble.
Shen Fenghua didn't even know how she fell asleep that night. When she woke up, her whole body ached. The sunlight outside was blinding. Shen Fenghua squinted, her face blank, and thought, "Destroy this damn world."
Qi Ye lifted the curtain and saw that Shen Fenghua was awake. Feeling guilty, he touched his nose and asked, "You're awake?"
Shen Fenghua glanced at him sideways and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you even human?"
"How could it not be?" Although he couldn't quite control himself last night, he did try to control himself.
"Look at how I look now."
Her voice was hoarse, and her body was completely useless. She had just lifted the covers and looked at herself; there were four clearly visible purplish-blue finger marks on her waist.
Growing angrier by the thought, Shen Fenghua snorted coldly, "Get out of here right now, I don't want to talk to you."
"No, no, I was wrong, I was really wrong, little miss, I apologize to you, okay?"
He begged and swore like a baby, "Absolutely not! Next time, and even if there's a next time, if you don't let me get on the bed, I won't get on the bed! Okay?"
"That's more like it."
It was just playful banter between the couple, and Shen Fenghua was only trying to get the upper hand verbally. That noon, Shen Fenghua's aunt, who had been gone for a long time, finally arrived late.
Qi Ye: "..."
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, looking at Shen Fenghua's pale face, his heart ached. "Are you feeling really uncomfortable?"
Shen Fenghua shook her head, her lips pale. "No, it's just intermittent pain, coming in waves. When it doesn't hurt, I feel weak, and when it hurts, I break out in a cold sweat."
Upon hearing this, Qi Ye immediately picked up Shen Fenghua and carried her to the kang (a heated brick bed) to settle her properly.
I also got a hot water bottle, boiled water and filled it in, and had her hold it in her arms to keep warm.
When Grandma saw Shen Fenghua like this, she felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. "My poor granddaughter, does it still hurt?" she cried.
"Grandma, I'm in pain, my stomach hurts."
Moreover, it's not just pain, but also palpitations.
I always feel uneasy about something.
Qi Ye is cooking outside; drinking brown sugar and egg tea should help relieve his pain.
Qi Ye made a pot of seven or eight poached eggs, and then added brown sugar water. He carried the pot into the house in a large bowl. Shen Fenghua looked at the egg tea and felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
Are you feeding the pigs?
"Eat more so you'll have energy," he said, setting the large bowl aside and helping Shen Fenghua to her feet. "Sit down slowly."
Shen Fenghua ate three eggs and drank all the brown sugar. She lay down for a while and then felt sleepy. She yawned, turned over, and curled up to sleep.
Seeing Shen Fenghua like this, Qi Ye felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
She was so pitiful that she was still frowning in her sleep. Qi Ye felt sorry for her, so he reached out and smoothed her brows, then took off his shoes and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
He had just lain down when Shen Fenghua, as if guided by radar, precisely rolled into Qi Ye's arms, found a comfortable spot, and snuggled up to sleep again.
He reached out and gently warmed her stomach.
