"Zhengting, it's daytime now. You didn't say it would be at night, did you?"

"Who says it has to be at night? I want it now. Honey, who knows how many days your man will be gone, you have to satisfy me."

Lin Qingyan felt that he was never full, always acting as if he hadn't eaten for hundreds of days, as if he wanted to drain her dry in one go.

Are you sure I can satisfy you?

"Let's see."

This whole ordeal lasted for over an hour. If Lin Qingyan hadn't felt that the time was almost up and stopped Lu Zhengting from continuing his assault, she might not have been able to get out of bed when the guests arrived that night.

After they got up, Lin Qingyan tidied her hair and clothes. She noticed that Lu Zhengting's hair had grown quite long, with at least two inches of hair on the top of his head.

The military has dedicated barbers who cut the soldiers' hair, and the soldiers are charged a small fee each time they get a haircut.

To save money, some soldiers would take turns being each other's hairdressers. They didn't care how good the hairstyle looked, as long as it wasn't too bad and was neat and tidy.

Some individuals or groups outside the military also come to the unit from time to time to give haircuts to the soldiers free of charge, but the quality cannot be expected to be too high.

She figured Lu Zhengting had gone to the front lines and was fighting the enemy every day, so he probably wouldn't have time to get a haircut.

She immediately pictured him on the battlefield, his hair disheveled and his beard unkempt.

He seems to have become more masculine.

She reached out and ran her fingers through her hair. "Your hair is long. Let me trim it for you."

"Honey, you can even cut hair."

"I've never had it cut. If you're willing to let me use your head as a guinea pig, I'll give you a haircut."

Lu Zhengting quickly bent down and stuck his head out, "Wife, my head is here, it's yours to do with as you please."

"I'll shave your head until you're bald, the kind with patchy baldness, so you won't be able to show your face in public."

"As long as my wife doesn't mind, that's fine."

Lin Qingyan first had him wash his hair, then dried it and found a slightly worn piece of plastic to use as a barber's apron. She then had him sit in front of the large cabinet, where he could see his hairstyle at any time through the mirror.

Looking in the mirror, Lu Zhengting watched his wife busily working on his hair with scissors. The scissors flew, and the cut hair flew around and scattered on the ground.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Qingyan had finished styling Lu Zhengting's hair.

Lu Zhengting raised his hand to stroke his slightly prickly buzz cut, looked at himself in the mirror again and again, and was very satisfied with his new hairstyle. "It's even better than the hairdresser at the barbershop. Honey, I'm entrusting my head to you from now on."

"Okay. Alright, let's go to the kitchen and cook."

"Walk."

Just as they were finishing cooking, Feng Yidong and Liu Manman arrived, bringing canned meat, canned fruit, and a bag of fruit.

Liu Manman said, "Brother Lu, sister-in-law, I've come uninvited again, please don't bother me."

Lin Qingyan smiled and said, "It's good that you're all here; it'll make it more lively."

Feng Yidong said apologetically, "When I was about to come, Manman happened to be looking for me, so she came with me."

Lin Qingyan: "It's nothing, it's just adding another pair of chopsticks. Please sit down, I'll pour you some water."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother, we can do it ourselves."

Liu Manman quickly took the thermos from Lin Qingyan, poured a cup of hot water for Feng Yidong, and then went to the kitchen to help Lin Qingyan.

After the food was served, Lu Zhengting discussed with Lin Qingyan, "How about I call Lao Zhang over too?"

"Go ahead."

Zhang Fei came by himself. "Zhengting, if you hadn't told me beforehand, I would have had your sister-in-law bring over a couple of dishes."

"No need to do anything, we have everything at home."

At the dinner table, the men ate, drank, and chatted, replacing alcohol with water.

Zhang Fei said to Lu Zhengting, "This time the army has been equipped with a batch of more advanced weapons, which increases the chances of winning the battle. I heard from the chief of staff that my sister-in-law donated a prescription to the army, and the money was allocated from the original plan to buy the prescription for hemostatic drugs."

Lin Qingyan was very pleased to hear this, at least some of the money had been put into practice.

Lu Zhengting looked up at his wife, equally pleased.

After the meal, Zhang Fei sat for a while and then left, while Feng Yidong and Liu Manman were in no hurry to leave.

Liu Manman warned Feng Yidong: "You must come back safe and sound. If I find out you're missing anything, I won't want you anymore."

During the time Feng Yidong spent with Liu Manman, he had also grown somewhat fond of the girl. He knew that Liu Manman wanted him to protect her better, so he smiled and said, "If I can't come back unharmed, what kind of person are you planning to find next?"

"Find someone better than you."

Feng Yidong laughed and said, "If you could find someone else, you wouldn't be dating me."

Lu Zhengting casually asked Lin Qingyan, "Wife, what will you do if I can't come back safely?"

Lin Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. "Have you forgotten what I do? I'm a doctor. I can fill in any gaps in your knowledge."

"Hahaha."

"However, you'd better not get hurt. If there are any parts that I can't fix, I'll divorce you and remarry."

"Wife," Lu Zhengting said with a wronged look, "Although, what you said is right, I still feel very uncomfortable."

"So you must take good care of yourself and come back safe and sound."

Lu Zhengting immediately saluted his wife: "Yes, ma'am!"
