Chapter 17 Military Marriage 6

Ning Yan's eyes darted back and forth over Xiao Nian's body. You really couldn't tell unless he took off his clothes. This man just looked thin, but he was all muscle.

Especially her legs, tsk tsk tsk.

She simply threw the towel on the chair, moved closer to the man, and reached out to take off his sleeveless vest.

Xiao Nian grabbed Ning Yan's waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

The man was strong and ruthless.

The kiss was passionate and lingering, and the next second Ning Yan was carried to the bed by the man.

The man pressed down on her, his hot breath spraying onto Ning Yan's delicate skin: "Yan Yan, I can't hold back anymore."

Ning Yan placed her hand on his back: "Who told you to put up with it?"

The slip dress was quickly tossed aside, and Ning Yan looked at the light cord on the bedside table and reached out.

But Xiao Nian quickly grabbed her wrist.

Ning Yan pouted and said, "What are you doing? I want to turn off the lights."

Xiao Nian's voice was a little hoarse, "It doesn't matter, wife, I want to see you."

So, the lights in Xiao Ying's house stayed on all night.

The next morning, Xiao Nian secretly put the soiled sheets from the previous night into a bucket of water and slowly washed away the bloodstains before hanging them to dry in the yard.

There's been some commotion at the Bai family next door again.

"You brat, didn't you used to exercise for an hour every morning? Why haven't you been doing it these past few days?"

"Oh my god, aren't you annoying? No matter how well you dance, you're just a lead dancer. Just let me sleep a little longer."

Commander Bai and his wife had one son and two daughters. His son also joined the army, but in the military region in Beijing. After their marriage, his wife followed him to the military.

The youngest daughter just started junior high school and usually lives at school, coming home once a week. Now it's just the elderly couple and Bai Moli at home.

Commander Bai has been in a bad mood these past few days. He had ruined the marriage he arranged for his daughter. If she had found someone better than Qu Muyang, he wouldn't be so angry. But she took a fancy to Zhou Hongjun, who was inferior to Qu Muyang in every way, and they even caught them in the act. He was utterly humiliated.

So he's barely spoken at home these past two days.

The neighbors made a couple more noises and then quieted down. Since he didn't hear anything useful, Xiao Nian gathered firewood to make breakfast.

Ning Yan was really exhausted last night, and didn't want to eat even though the food was cooked. Xiao Nian had no choice but to keep the food warm in the pot before rushing off to work.

Ning Yan didn't get up until after ten o'clock. She ate the breakfast that Xiao Nian had prepared, washed the dishes, and then went to the yard for a walk and stretched her limbs.

The cowpeas in the yard have grown a lot, as have the cucumbers, and many of the eggplants have grown to the size of large bowls. There are also small chili peppers. If these things are not picked soon, they will all become too old.

Since there was still some time before noon and she had nothing else to do, Ning Yan went back to her room to sleep.

Xiao Nian returned from his run at noon. The house was quiet. He first went into the kitchen and saw that the food in the pot had been eaten, which meant that his wife had gotten up.

He then tiptoed into the bedroom.

Ning Yan was sleeping soundly. It wasn't that she was being coquettish; it was just that Xiao Nian had too much energy and was too energetic. After he finished, he kept talking to her, and the two of them barely slept all night. She was really tired and sleepy.

Xiao Nian secretly kissed his beautiful wife on the cheek, then left the house, closing the door behind him, and hurriedly prepared lunch.

I steamed the rice, picked some eggplants and chili peppers from the yard, stir-fried the eggplant with chili peppers, made garlic-flavored cowpeas, and smashed a tender cucumber. That was lunch.

There was no meat at home, which made his wife feel bad.

After the meal was cooked, Xiao Nian took the food directly into the room, woke Ning Yan up, and the two finished eating. It was almost time for them to go to work. "You should go now, I'll clean up the dishes."

Xiao Nian: "If you don't want to cook, just put it in the pot. I'll wash it as soon as I get back. You can go back to sleep this afternoon." That way, I'll have the energy to spend time with him tonight.

Ning Yan waved her hand, "You should go now. Don't cook lunch anymore, just buy the food yourself."

I was busy all afternoon and couldn't even take a nap.

She didn't want to live like a nanny, but she also didn't want her man to be constantly busy. So, if something could be solved with money, there was no need to make things difficult for herself.

Xiao Nian smiled like a flower, and his wife felt sorry for him.

"Okay, I'll come back early tonight and harvest all the vegetables in the yard. I'll dry what needs to be dried and pickle what needs to be pickled, so as not to waste them."

Ning Yan: ...He's really so virtuous. He's cheated again this time. He's picked a good man.

In the evening, Xiao Nian placed a chair at the kitchen doorway and had Ning Yan sit there and watch him work.

The old eggplants and cowpeas were picked, but there were too many cucumbers to eat. The tender ones were pickled into salted cucumbers, but he really didn't know how to eat the old cucumbers; he guessed he could only slice them and stir-fry them.

These were just picked when things got lively next door again; the white jasmine has returned.

"What did you say? Marriage? I don't agree! Don't even think about it. A country bumpkin like him wants to marry my daughter, Bai Wenshan? He's dreaming!"

Xiao Nian immediately perked up his ears, and his hands slowed down.

"So what if we come from the countryside? Grandpa was a countryman too! Go back three generations and nobody can say anything about anyone else, we were all peasants!"

Besides, Hongjun is only 24. He'll rise through the ranks eventually. He's already a company commander and in the special forces. He'll be more successful than you in the future! Who do you look down on?

Bai Wenshan was so angry that he grabbed a feather duster and chased Bai Moli all over the yard!

Ning Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she wished she could stand on a chair and peek into the neighboring yard.

Xiao Nian was charmed by his wife's adorable expression, so he put down the basket in his hand, went over, pressed her against the wall, hugged her, and kissed her.

He lifted Ning Yan's skirt, which startled her so much that she quickly pushed him away.

Although the walls of one's own yard are high, if someone deliberately looks inside, they can still see it.

Seeing that the neighbors next door hadn't said anything he wanted to hear, Xiao Nian simply carried his wife into the house.

Amidst the sounds of fighting and cursing from next door, the two inside the small house were filled with passionate energy.

Just as winter was beginning, Xiao Nian, who was both a neighbor and Zhou Hongjun's boss, received an invitation: Bai Moli and Zhou Hongjun were getting married in about twenty days.

Because of Zhou Hongjun and Bai Moli's special circumstances, Zhou Hongjun was excluded from a mission that was originally intended to promote him, and Xiao Nian went in person instead.

He was gone for almost two months, and with the Lunar New Year fast approaching, there was still no news of Xiao Nian.

During this time, Ning Yan represented the couple at Bai Moli and Zhou Hongjun's wedding.

As expected of the troupe leader's daughter, the banquet was quite impressive, with twelve dishes, half of which were meat dishes, and a total of ten tables were set up.

Ning Yan is not the type of person who would let good food go to waste.

They watched as the couple toasted the leader while enjoying their meal.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we went home.

On the day before the Lunar New Year, Ning Yan and several of the women from the family compound went to the city to buy New Year's goods. Sister Zhou said that she had nothing to do and could knit a new sweater for Xiao Nian, so she bought a whole five kilograms of yarn.
