"Besides, is that all? You should have some expectations of the men in your family."

"Moving forward is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you'll fall behind!"

He Runqing smiled softly and leaned against him.

“I don’t push you. You’re already so tired, and I’m always telling you to be ambitious. I didn’t marry you because you’re ambitious.”

"Just do what you love, I support you."

Her eyes seemed to sparkle, and she looked on with great enthusiasm.

Chen Yifei's heart also fluttered.

With her soft, gentle voice, she soothed all the anxiety and unease in his heart.

In his past life, he always processed his emotions on his own, and later he became numb and had no ambition.

All I want now is for this family to get better and better...

A wife's delicious home-cooked meals, or even just a few words from time to time, are all luxuries I can only dream of; I'm all alone.

What you didn't have in your past life, you have in this life.

He ruffled He Runqing's hair and said, "Alright, you can go now. It'll be fine in a bit."

"With you here, I can't perform well; my mind wanders, and I can't do a good job."

"No!" she refused to listen. "I want to keep an eye on you."

Chen Yifei walked towards her step by step, then forced her to stand in front of the stove, his eyes already carrying the feeling from last night.

I don't know what he said to her, but He Runqing ran away in fright.

As I ran out, I straightened my clothes at the door and furtively peeked around to see if anyone was there.

Only after confirming that no one was around did he run back to his room.

Chen Yifei couldn't stop laughing as he looked at the person he had frightened.

So this trick actually works...

However, he had actually considered it: in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom...

Later, we bought a small house in the county town.

In a small home with only him and He Runqing, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted?

Make money, make money.

Don't panic.

Boil the brown sugar and eggs.

After giving it to his wife, Chen Xue soon came over to make breakfast for the family.

Even the way Chen Yifei boiled the eggs looked blissful.

"Something seems different about you?"

Chen Yifei looked radiant this morning, even more so than before, and his younger brother looked more handsome than ever.

What's going on?

What happened last night?

Chen Yifei smiled without saying a word: "You're not married yet, so don't ask these adult questions."

Chen Xue: "..."

Damn it! You're asking for it.

He raised his fists and started punching and kicking, and a thought began to form in his mind: Is dating really that great?

She'll find one then, she just wants to find a good man. Surprisingly, she even thought Chen Yifei's good friend, Wang Hu, wasn't so bad after all?

I quickly shook my head. Has she gone mad?

That kid is always grinning and fawning, and he's always acting silly.

Hmm, we can't accept it.

A moment later, Zhang Cuizhi ran out: "We've been robbed! And are there mice? All the brown sugar in the cupboard is gone!"

"I also want to save it for Qingqing to eat when she gets pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yifei came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of brown sugar and eggs. He grinned, "Mom, nothing was stolen. Since it's all for Qingqing, I've already cooked it, haven't I?"

"I'm leaving! Qingqing and I will eat brown sugar and eggs, you guys can eat my sister's cooking."

Chen's mother was somewhat shocked: "You little rascal!"

"How long will Qingqing be pregnant with this brown sugar? It'll all spoil. I'll buy some more then. Don't be so stingy with food."

These days, there's no such thing as an expiration date; good things are kept for good reasons.

I save a box of peach shortbread and eat it slowly, in small pieces, throughout the year.

However, now that Chen Yifei is able to make money, and quite a lot of it, he naturally won't limit himself to that.

Chen's mother laughed and said, "Then it's up to you. I'll buy some more later."

Zhang Cuizhi was a little worried that her son didn't understand that women have their periods every month. She thought it would be good if he could drink some brown sugar water; she'd find an opportunity to talk to him about it.

Zhang Cuizhi felt a pang of envy seeing how well her son treated his wife. She had been married to Chen Jianguo for many years, but she wasn't much of a talker, and Chen Jianguo was even more of a quiet, reserved person.

The difference between that son and his wife is like heaven and earth.

But I'm also happy, because my son is finally on the right track, and this wife will bring good fortune to the family.

A short while later, Chen Yifei and He Runqing came out of the house.

After finishing the brown sugar, He Runqing's lips were red and her eyes were teary.

Chen Yifei, on the other hand, acted as if he had taken advantage of the situation and gotten away with it.

The two went out one after the other.

Chen Yifei felt something small and soft behind him.

I have this urge to pull them into my arms again...

They were already at the door when Chen Xue and Wang Hu squatted there.

They all covered their eyes in unison: "The world is going to the dogs! What would have happened back in the 70s?"

"Hurry up and get to work."

Wang Hu nodded: "That's right. I can barely accept Fei-ge being so emotional every day, but my Xue-jie can't stand it."

"Sister Xue's affairs are my affairs."

He Runqing immediately understood Wang Hu's meaning, but didn't say it outright.

He said, "Then you must take good care of Sister Chen Xue."

He Runqing was originally supposed to go to the brigade today, but he promised Chen Yifei that he would go to the agricultural technician to help with mushroom cultivation.

These things take a long time to do, so it's necessary to start preparing at this point.

There's no way to do it in such a rush.

Chen Yifei was always a visionary.

"Sister, Qingqing and I are going to the commune. You and Wang Hu deliver the mushrooms there, and while you're at it, ask the manager of the state-run restaurant if we want more pancakes."
