Chapter 7

Chen Baozhen's husband Gao Jianguo comes home three or four days a week, basically every other day, so most of the time Chen Baozhen is alone at home.

The house allocated to her family was a small two-story building. The first floor was damp and had a living room, kitchen and utility room. The second floor had two simple rooms, a master bedroom and a second bedroom. At that time, the rooms were all large and spacious.

Ever since entering Chen Baozhen's house, Qin Yao couldn't help but sigh.

This sister is really... She has no image burden. Whenever she goes out, she must dress herself up beautifully. Standing there, she is like a proud white swan.

It can be said that "a white swan when going out and a doghouse when at home".

When her best friend who she had grown up with came over, Chen Baozhen was very open and didn't think about cleaning up. As soon as Qin Yao entered the house, there was a damp smell in the house, and there seemed to be dust flying in the bright and dark places.

All the furniture was foggy.

All the furniture was made of wood, including wooden tables, wooden chairs, and wooden sofas. There were paintings on the walls, a few messy newspapers on the table, a silver metallic harmonica on top of them, and cellos scattered upside down in the corners.

It's not so messy that there's nowhere to step, but it's not clean and tidy either.

There were sour-smelling clothes scattered on the sofa, and there were even more messy clothes in Chen Baozhen's bedroom. She had tried many of the clothes on once in the morning, but had not worn them out. She took them off and put them aside, but did not hang them back in the closet. She was too lazy to wash them, so she just piled them there.

Qin Yao let out a long sigh. Chen Baozhen's control group was very qualified.

Chen Baozhen: "Why are you sighing?"

Qin Yao said coldly: "Even dogs come and sigh."

"Yaoyao, you know I've been like this since I was a child." Chen Baozhen simply picked up a few pieces of clothes and piled them on the chair, forming a small mountain. "My aunt used to do the cleaning at home."

Chen Baozhen's parents have jobs, and there is an aunt in the family who has never been married and works diligently at the Chen family's house.

Chen Baozhen has a very good relationship with her aunt.

"I'm going to ask Gao Jianguo to call his sister over, and when she arrives, she'll help me clean up." Chen Baozhen said naturally. She originally didn't want to live with her husband's sister, but her own aunt couldn't marry with her, so she could only ask her sister-in-law for help.

Qin Yao couldn't help but look at Chen Baozhen with a look of "top quality".

This is too exquisite!

Is it natural to ask your husband's sister to do housework? Is this something a human being would do?

It is really difficult to make Qin Yao fall in love with such a top-notch person, even though they are the supporting female character and her best friend in the control group in the original book.

Qin Yao picked up a feather duster and said to Chen Baozhen, "I don't like staying in a dirty and messy environment. It will affect my mood."

"Me too." Chen Baozhen nodded.

Qin Yao slapped her on the butt unceremoniously: "Stinky baby, go to work."

Chen Baozhen: “——You!”

"What are you talking about? Be honest and get to work!" Qin Yao held a feather duster and supervised Chen Baozhen to clean the house, especially the pile of clothes in the room that she didn't know whether she had worn them or not. All of them had to be washed.

There was running water on the first floor, but the water flow was very small. Qin Yao used a large bucket to collect the water. Next to it was a large silver aluminum basin filled with Chen Baozhen's dirty clothes. Chen Baozhen sat on a small stool in a sullen manner, with her tall figure curled up and rubbing her legs with her head down.

Qin Yao: "Rub the collar and cuffs of your shirt vigorously, and wash the rest casually."

…

"Yaoyao, you look like Zhou Paopi."

Qin Yao supervised Chen Baozhen to wash all the dirty clothes at home. She also washed the dirty clothes she brought and hung them in the yard. The two of them simply tidied up the house, swept and mopped the floor, and wiped the dust off the furniture with a rag. After cleaning, the house became bright.

Qin Yao opened all the windows, and the wind from outside blew in, bringing coolness. Although Chen Baozhen's yard was deserted, the scenery of the family compound was very beautiful. At this time, the buildings were not tall, and mountains could be seen in the distance. The green belt was lined with tall and slender coconut trees.

Chen Baozhen was full of resentment and kept muttering: "Yaoyao, you are so fierce."

"Yaoyao, you're not nice to me."

Qin Yao walked up to her, rubbed her face, and checked her favorability.

[She has a favorable impression of you of 88 (she considers you her best friend in the world)]

Chen Baozhen covered her face with her hands. Her usually proud face now looked like a child, complaining constantly. However, Qin Yao raised the corners of her mouth and couldn't help laughing.

After so many complaints, my favorability rating didn't drop at all.

It turns out that good sisters are different from those bad men.

*

After cleaning up for half a day until the evening, the smell of cooking came from the house of the heroine Bai Qiuling next door. Chen Baozhen rubbed her nose. She was hungry and prepared to take Qin Yao to the cafeteria for dinner.

Although he said he would let his good sisters eat the cabbages he grew, it was just talk.

"We're not going to the cafeteria." Qin Yao took Chen Baozhen to the grocery store to buy some sauces, and then asked for a few fish and a large bag of oysters from the army's fishing boat that returned late. The two of them carried the things back.

The oyster shells were heavy and had a fishy smell. Chen Baozhen disliked the bag of oysters in her hand and stretched out her arms, moving them away from her body.

Chen Baozhen doesn't like to eat fish and shrimp. There is only a few pounds of meat in them, and if they are not handled properly, they will taste fishy and smelly.

Qin Yao estimated that the two of them didn't have big appetites, so she planned to make garlic oyster vermicelli, and then grill the fish and oysters in the yard over charcoal fire.

In order to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, Qin Yao first fried the garlic sauce. Oil was precious at that time, so she did not dare to add too much oil, but she added enough chopped garlic. The aroma of garlic wafted from the pot, and Chen Baozhen could not help sneezing.

Use a knife to pry open the oysters, wash them, put them in a steamer, add soaked vermicelli, pour garlic chili sauce on them, and steam twelve oysters in a steamer for fifteen minutes.

Lifting the lid of the pot, Chen Baozhen was stunned by the delicious smell, "It smells so good, so good, so good!"

Chen Baozhen didn't expect that the pungent smell of garlic combined with the fishy smell of oysters would become such a strange and delicious taste.

The vermicelli covering the oyster meat is already full of sweetness. When it is just out of the pot, it is so delicious that it makes people bite their tongue. Take out the oysters, take a sip of the soup, and put the white vermicelli with a sauce color into your mouth. It is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

A person is considered half full only after eating five or six.

To make garlic oyster vermicelli, large oysters are chosen. Qin Yao starts a charcoal fire, puts on the grill, grills the small oysters on the fire, and pours garlic sauce on them. The fresh and fragrant aroma wafts across the yard next door.

Jiang Dinghai and Bai Qiuling were entertaining their guests for dinner. The delicious smell coming from outside made the food in their mouths less tasty.

In the past, the fragrance from their house would attract the neighbors, making Gao Jianguo envious. But today, it was very strange, the neighbors could smell the hot smell of fireworks.

"Mom, it smells so good."

Qin Yao grilled oysters and attracted several children, including the heroine Bai Qiuling's child Jiang Hao, a six-year-old child, and a three-year-old sister.

In her previous life, Bai Qiuling did not come to the island with the army. She was raising children in the village. Later, she was seduced by a male educated youth and ran away with him, abandoning her family and children. However, this educated youth was a scumbag who abandoned Bai Qiuling in the end.

Bai Qiuling regretted her decision and was reborn into the past. She decided to stay with her husband Jiang Dinghai, with whom she had no feelings for, and go to the island with the army to take good care of the children.

After arriving on the island, Bai Qiuling discovered that her husband Jiang Dinghai held a high position and received good treatment. Her next-door neighbors were a newlywed couple who moved into the family compound one after the other.

Bai Qiuling was Jiang Dinghai's betrothed wife from the countryside, while Gao Jianguo married a city girl, Chen Baozhen. Jiang Dinghai and Gao Jianguo were about the same age, and many people in the compound talked about this matter.

"Lao Jiang, if you didn't marry a wife in the village first, and waited until now to find one, you could find a city girl like Lao Gao did."

"Gao Jianguo is more calculating than you."

…

In the beginning, in the eyes of outsiders, everyone thought that Bai Qiuling, a country girl, was not as good as Chen Baozhen, a city girl. But now, Gao Jianguo's life is a mess, and the city girl Chen Baozhen can't do housework at all, and public opinion stands on Bai Qiuling's side.

Gao Jianguo often quarreled with Chen Baozhen because of this matter.

"Eat, one for each." Qin Yao distributed grilled oysters to the children one by one. Jiang Hao was given one. She had no grudge against the original heroine Bai Qiuling, so she would not go up to her to make friends with her, nor would she target her.

"Thank you, sister."

The gratitude of children is tender and innocent.

Qin Yao grilled fish and sat with Chen Baozhen. They each ate one. In the evening, they took a shower to wash off the smell of the barbecue, and the two best friends slept in the same bed.

Not in the master bedroom, but in the guest bedroom. The weather was hot, so I hung up the mosquito net, spread out a cotton quilt and a cool mat, and added a blanket and a fan. I didn't feel bored lying down together.

Qin Yao slept very comfortably. The next day, Chen Baozhen got up earlier than her, wearing baggy short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and went downstairs to brush her teeth and wash up.

When Qin Yao woke up, Chen Baozhen had already finished washing up.

"Yaoyao, you seem to have lost weight." Chen Baozhen rushed to the bedside, staring at Qin Yao's face without blinking.

Qin Yao had just gotten up, her black hair hanging in disarray, and her skin was as delicate and smooth as a freshly peeled egg.

Qin Yao picked up a mirror when she heard that. She also realized that she seemed to have lost some weight. Her overly plump face looked like a delicate and beautiful rose when she woke up in the morning. It was incredibly beautiful.

"Yaoyao, if this were in the Tang Dynasty, you would be a peerless beauty like Yang Yuhuan. You are so beautiful."

Chen Baozhen couldn't help but raise her hand to touch Qin Yao's face, and forced herself to resist the urge to kiss her.

"Let's go to the outdoor swimming pool tomorrow to play in the water. I really want to experience the happiness of Emperor Minghuang of Tang. My beloved, let's bathe in Huaqing Pool together."

Qin Yao slapped her hand away, "Slut."

How could Chen Baozhen have the nerve to say such inappropriate things with her cold and aloof appearance?

Qin Yao got out of bed, put on her clothes, took off her pajamas, and when she was buttoning her shirt, she pinched her waist and clearly felt that her body had really become thinner.

But she didn't do anything, didn't even start losing weight, and even ate a few candies with Chen Baozhen yesterday.

There was a full-length mirror in Chen Baozhen's master bedroom. Qin Yao stood in front of the mirror and looked at the woman in the mirror in amazement.

The body in the mirror was becoming more and more like her appearance before she traveled through the book.

The eighteen-year-old girl has a face full of collagen. She had a good sleep last night and got a night of nourishment. Her skin is snow-white and her lips are as red as cherries. The combination of white and red creates a breathtaking beauty.

Beauty has thousands of forms. Apart from being twice as big as an ordinary girl, Qin Yao had to admit that this body was chubby but very pretty, with a bit more indescribable sexiness than before.

She pinched her arms; they were soft, white and tender, and felt so good!

After a simple breakfast, Qin Yao supervised Chen Baozhen to clean the yard, weed and kill insects.

Chen Baozhen: "You are beautiful, I will listen to you, hehe, Yaoyao."

The two were busy in the yard and were seen by several sisters-in-law passing by. At around ten o'clock in the morning, a tall and thin male officer and a female medical worker came here.

The female medical worker was named Hong Yuyin, and the male officer next to her was military doctor He Guangzhi, who was gentle and wore glasses.

Hong Yuyin had a good relationship with Bai Qiuling. Knowing that Bai Qiuling's cousin had arrived, she wanted to find a partner here, so she asked her to take a message to call Dr. He to facilitate a meeting between the two.

Dr. He is a bit dull, but he has excellent medical skills. He spends every day either reading medical books or not. He doesn't have the lively energy of young people. Two blind dates she had dated before thought he was too boring.

Apart from this personality issue, Dr. He has good qualities in other aspects.

Hong Yuyin likes to come to Bai Qiuling's house. The most secret and unknown reason is that she loves to look at the yard of Bai Qiuling's neighbor's house. Every time she sees the tidy and lively yard of Bai Qiuling's house, and then looks at the mess of Chen Baozhen's house next door, Hong Yuyin feels indescribably happy in her heart.

She is hostile to Chen Baozhen.

Not only in this family compound, but also in the art troupe and the hospital, many young girls have more or less hostility and jealousy towards Chen Baozhen.

Chen Baozhen and Captain Gu had a blind date! Chen Baozhen came here for a blind date with Captain Gu, which made many sisters-in-law and young girls eagerly watch the result. Although it didn't work out, Chen Baozhen made everyone envious.

Others who wanted to go on a blind date with Captain Gu didn't have the chance, but she almost had the chance to become Captain Gu's wife.

Captain Gu was tall and handsome, standing there in a snow-white military uniform, and no little girl would look away. Not only does he have a good appearance and a good family background, his personal abilities are also among the best, he has good physical fitness and strong command ability. He gave an excellent command of last year's large-scale exercise and was highly praised by the district. I don't know how many meritorious awards he has won.

There is a signboard introducing honorary figures on the road near the auditorium. The one that belongs to Captain Gu is always visited by people who pretend to pass by every day, or walk around and deliberately come to take a look, and stop in front of it for a long time. They can even memorize the content on it alone.

Fortunately it didn't work out.

Chen Baozhen married Gao Jianguo, who is also an excellent male officer. When they first got married, they were envied by many male officers. Now that their marriage has become like this, many people are secretly laughing at them.

Hong Yuyin is just the one who is here to have fun.

"Teacher Chen, you are so kind today that you even started to clean the yard." As soon as Hong Yuyin finished speaking, Chen Baozhen stood up and turned around. The person behind her also raised his head. Hong Yuyin and He Guangzhi both saw that round and smooth face.

Teacher Chen is tall, with outstanding facial features and temperament. Her face is gorgeous, like a colorful oil painting or the gorgeous enamel in the Forbidden City.

Of course she is good-looking, but her body is so big. She is fat, white and beautiful.

The combination of so many incompatible words gives people a sense of uncertainty in judging beauty and ugliness.

Chen Baozhen hugged her chest and said, "Is it rare? My friend is here, so I just need to tidy it up."

"Not surprising, not surprising." Hong Yuyin turned around and was about to walk to the next yard, but He Guangzhi behind her was stunned. She called out, "Doctor He."

He Guangzhi came back to his senses, his mind still thinking about that beautiful face, his delicate cheeks were slightly hot.

After entering Bai Qiuling's yard, Hong Yuyin asked, "Doctor He, were you seeing Teacher Chen's friend just now?"

He Guangzhi nodded shyly.

"Teacher Chen's friend is so fat. She probably doesn't like to work, just like Teacher Chen." Hong Yuyin said meaningfully.

He Guangzhi's eyes wandered, and he said subconsciously: "It's not necessary for women to do the work."

He studies internal medicine and does not have to perform surgery like a surgeon. Apart from having less subsidy, he works normally during the day and stays at home most of the time except for the night shift. He has a lot of free time and can take care of his family.

If she is lazy...it doesn't matter.

"Ah?" Hong Yuyin was stunned.

When they arrived at Bai Qiuling's house, they met Tian Shuyun and had a simple tea and chat. Tian Shuyun originally didn't have any expectations for the first person introduced, but when she saw He Guangzhi, a gentle young military doctor who wore glasses, was well-educated, and spoke softly, she couldn't help but take a liking to him.

Dr. He is a great marriage partner!

Tian Shuyun was moved, but Doctor He was feeling uneasy and just spoke politely. Tian Shuyun thought he was shy because she had heard that Doctor He was a quiet person and didn't talk much. She didn't mind because she thought it was better for men to be honest.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." He Guangzhi found an excuse to leave, and then vaguely told Bai Qiuling's husband that "it's not appropriate" and politely rejected any further developments.

He Guangzhi's heart was filled with a burning fire. The figure he had seen before could never be forgotten in his mind.

He Guangzhi struggled in his heart for a long time, but finally his desire overcame his timidity. He was brave for the first time and went to the military hospital to find the head nurse Ge Yunxia, ​​hoping that Nurse Ge could help him find a partner.

Seeing that the delicate and introverted Dr. He was blushing and stammering, Ge Yunxia teased him several times, making Dr. He's face get redder and redder.

"A new guest in Teacher Chen's house? Chen Baozhen?" Hearing the name Chen Baozhen, Ge Yunxia frowned. She didn't have a good impression of Chen Baozhen. What's more, Chen Baozhen had always been used as a negative example for her to educate male officers on how to choose a spouse... cough cough cough.

Doctor He blushed and nodded.

"It's rare that you care so much, Xiao He." Ge Yunxia pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll go there for you and ask."

He Guangzhi said shyly, "Don't say it was me... Head Nurse Ge, please give me some advice."

Ge Yunxia understood instantly: "I know, you don't want to reveal your intention first, right? I'll go check out the situation first, and we'll use a roundabout tactic."

Head Nurse Ge naturally enjoys helping people find their partners. The more difficult the situation is, the more she will rise to the challenge.

In the afternoon, at the naval port dock, Gu Cheng, dressed in a snow-white military uniform, walked off the ship. He adjusted the hat on his head.

Behind him was the deep blue sea, vast and majestic, with huge ships suspended above it. Gu Cheng strode forward, and the soldiers on both sides saluted him.

The sea breeze made the military uniform flutter, and the brim of the hat blocked the sunlight. The face underneath was cold and serious, without any expression.

Gu Cheng handed a document to Gao Jianguo, and Gao Jianguo hurriedly thanked him. He didn't expect Gu Cheng to help him.

Ever since marrying Chen Baozhen, Gao Jianguo has always been embarrassed to get along with Gu Cheng in private, but... after being married for a long time, he became more and more embarrassed. Fortunately, Gu Cheng did not have any conflicts with him because of this matter.

"If anyone... contacts me, please keep an eye out for the information for me and don't tell anyone else." Gu Cheng just happened to be asking for something, and he had a cold face. Others couldn't tell what he was thinking. Gao Jianguo also didn't know what Gu Cheng meant.

"Okay." It wasn't a big deal, so Gao Jianguo agreed immediately. He smiled and said, "Captain Gu, if you have time in the evening, come to my house for dinner."

After saying this, Gao Jianguo realized that something was not right. He met Gu Cheng today and he was helped by Gu Cheng again. It was a rare opportunity. However, he had just had an argument with his wife Chen Baozhen. Chen Baozhen's friends were coming over in the next two days, and it would be inconvenient to invite Gu Cheng over.

Gao Jianguo felt his scalp tingling.

Fortunately, Gu Cheng refused it outright.

Gao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, and then politely persuaded her again: "Come on, it's such a rare opportunity. Baozhen wants to marry me, and I have to thank you."

Chen Baozhen came all the way to have a blind date with Gu Cheng as arranged by her family, but ended up marrying him, allowing him to "get such a great deal for nothing." Gao Jianguo felt very guilty and couldn't face Gu Cheng, even though Gu Cheng and Chen Baozhen didn't like each other in the first place, so he took the opportunity to talk it out.

Gu Cheng knew his current situation and he might even sympathize with him.

"Okay, I'll go." Gu Cheng agreed.

Gao Jianguo was stunned: "Ah?!"

Gu Cheng looked at him in surprise, and Gao Jianguo quickly came to his senses: "Okay, okay, you're very welcome..."

After saying that, Gao Jianguo’s mind went blank, thinking about how to go back and make preparations, but how could he prepare at this moment?

Gu Cheng didn't pay much attention to Gao Jianguo's expression, his mind was thinking elsewhere.

He hasn't seen Qin Yao since he got off the boat that night. He once left an address for Qin Yao. Qin Yao would definitely contact him, right?

What Gu Cheng left was the information of the fishing boat company. He had acquaintances there, and it would be convenient for him to understand the situation when he arrived at the family compound.

Thinking of Qin Yao, Gu Cheng felt an indescribable irritation in his body, as if there was an annoying cat's paw scratching his heart and lungs.

He shouldn't have left a message, so there was no need to know whether Qin Yao had contacted him at this moment.

He had a dream last night. He dreamed that he and the fat girl were holding an umbrella together. She held the umbrella and was blown into his arms by the wind... The content of the dream was very chaotic. The scene switched to the cabin where he worked and rested. The document in his hand was not yet opened. The fat girl dozed off on his shoulder. Someone was knocking on the door outside. He was frantically thinking about how to hide the person - he was awakened.

Why would I have such a strange dream?

"Let's go together when the time comes. I'll get out my good wine and we'll have a couple of drinks." Gao Jianguo's eyes drifted to Gu Cheng's stern profile, and he couldn't help but feel desperate.

Thinking about the yard and hall of his house, it would take some time to clean them up, and if Gu Cheng saw them, well, let him see them, he really wasn't trying to be pitiful.

When Gao Jianguo married Chen Baozhen, he thought he was the luckiest man in the world. Who could have expected...

Gao Jianguo stared at Gu Cheng's face and held back the words:

Does your family have a grudge against you?
