That night, in addition to Yu Wan who was talking about Su Ruo with her husband in the room, there was another person in the Gu family who was also thinking about Su Ruo.

Although Zeng Yaohong already understood that her niece probably had no chance...it would be fine if her niece was better than Han Zecheng's wife in every way, but it was obvious that she was not more attractive to men than Su Ruo. Even if Han Zecheng and Su Ruo had some problems, what chance would her niece have?

But now that things have turned out like this, Zeng Yaohong has lost face and feels a little embarrassed.

After the embarrassment, he couldn't help but take his anger out on Su Ruo.

It would be fine if Su Ruo was really impeccable.

But there was an obvious thing right in front of her, and Zeng Yaohong couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.

She suspected that there was something wrong with Su Ruo's background.

Because she looked so delicate and dignified, just like a former capitalist lady.

If her background was problematic, would the army allow Han Zecheng to have such a daughter-in-law?

Can the Han family allow Han Zecheng to have such a daughter-in-law?

So after her husband, Commander Gu, returned to his room, she finally couldn't help but speak to him to test or hint at something.

But her relationship with her husband, Commander Gu, is different from that between Yu Wan and Gu Yilin.

She didn't dare to reveal her thoughts to General Gu, but weighed them in her mind for a long time before she said, "Zong Yao, Xiao Han's wife's temperament and conversation are very different from ordinary girls. Is her background also extraordinary?"

Commander Gu glanced at her and said, "Her father is the principal of Nancheng Technical School."

The files and family relationships of the main generals in the army were recorded in great detail. Han Zecheng was the son of an old comrade-in-arms of General Gu, and was highly appreciated and valued by him, so of course he knew all about his affairs.

It's just that he has never mentioned it to anyone before.

Zeng Yaohong's heart skipped a beat.

The girl said that her father was a school teacher. A normal person would think that he was a teacher in an elementary school or middle school. Who would have thought that he was the principal of a technical secondary school?

Deliberate concealment like this is even more problematic.

"What about her mother? What's her background?"

Zeng Yaohong continued to ask carefully, "So, did her parents have some status before the founding of the People's Republic of China? Have they suffered any hardship over the years?"

At this time, the older generation of intellectuals in the Republic of China generally had a certain family background.

And these people generally have had a hard time over the years.

Commander Gu’s face darkened.

He looked at her sternly, and when he saw that Zeng Yaohong was uncomfortable, he said in a deep voice: "Why are you asking these questions? Those were all things in the past. The country has been rehabilitating these comrades one by one, and soon many things will be different. And no matter what her parents' backgrounds are, Comrade Xiao Su responded to the country's call, first went to the countryside to build the countryside, and now actively participates in the college entrance examination. She has always been a positive and good comrade."

"I don't care what you have in mind, but it's best to put those thoughts aside, and don't make serious, irreparable mistakes because of selfishness."

The blood color on Zeng Yaohong's face suddenly faded away, and then quickly turned red again.

She had been married to him for nearly ten years, and although their relationship was ordinary, he rarely said such harsh words to her.

The way he said this to her...it was very likely that he knew exactly what she was thinking before.

And from my previous test, he probably already knew my purpose.

Zeng Yaohong suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed that his most shameful side had been seen by him.

She murmured, "Zong, Zong Yao."

Seeing the embarrassment on her face, Commander Gu looked at her for a long time, then sighed and said, "Yao Hong, you were not like this before. I know you have devoted yourself to this family and to me, but we don't have children, and I am usually very busy with work, so you may feel neglected, but these are not reasons for a person to make mistakes. You should actively enrich yourself so that you will not let selfishness and desires slowly erode you."

"But you don't have to be too embarrassed. It's normal for people to have selfish desires, and saints are no exception. That's why we need to reflect on ourselves three times a day. Only in this way can we stay alert at all times and correct ourselves in time to avoid making big mistakes."

When Zeng Yaohong heard what her husband said, her eyes suddenly turned red.

Han Zecheng's application for accompanying the army and married dormitory was approved the next day.

The army acted decisively and swiftly, and since it was Han Zecheng's application, there was already an empty house available for him, so the key to the house was in his hands early in the morning on the third day.

The house is a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment in a family compound, on the fifth floor, covering an area of ​​more than 120 square meters.

All the basic furniture is available, including bed, sofa, wardrobe, desk, and even the pots and pans in the kitchen.

Su Ruo was surprised and happy to see everything so complete.

If she bought it herself, the money wouldn't matter to her, but it would really take her many days.

As the exam was approaching, she didn't have much time to think about it.

Han Zecheng didn't think anything of it, as it was always like this in the army, but he was happy to see that she liked it.

After looking around, Guoguo took the small rag and went to his own little room to tinker with it happily.

Han Zecheng accompanied Su Ruo to the kitchen after the inspection and said, "See if there is anything missing or if there is anything you want to replace. Make a list and we will go to the city to buy it during the holiday."

Su Ruo said "hmm", and then she looked at the kitchen and bathroom. In addition to the complete furniture in the room and living room, the kitchen and bathroom were also equipped. There was no problem moving in directly, so she said: "Let's pack up tonight and move in directly. There is no need to stay in the guesthouse anymore."

Although there is nothing wrong with the guesthouse, it is not your home after all.

However, when this thought flashed through her mind, she was also stunned.

Does she actually think this is her home?

While she was in a daze, she heard him say "OK", and then she heard the sound of water.

She turned around and saw that he had already gone to get a bucket and turned on the faucet to get water.

It seemed like with him around, she didn't have to do anything.

As long as she told him, or even without her saying anything, he would have done everything.

Although they had only been together for a few days, this person seemed to have really become her family.

It makes people feel at ease and trust involuntarily.

But when the truth comes out, I find that it is still very unfamiliar and a little uncomfortable.

Han Zecheng does housework very well.

In Su Ruo's limited memory, whether in the city or the countryside, men rarely did housework. Most of them took it for granted and waited for others to serve them like masters, and even wished that others would bring meals to them... ahem, it seemed to be true.

Although Han Zecheng looks like a macho man, I didn't expect him to be so skillful and efficient in doing housework.

Su Ruo stood by and wanted to help but it seemed like she couldn't do anything...she couldn't keep up with his speed.

Seeing that she wanted to help, he threw her a clean towel and said, "It's wet here, don't get your clothes wet. I'll wipe the closet first, and then you can organize your and Guoguo's things. After I finish cleaning, I'll go to my dormitory and get all the things."

Su Ruo saw that there was sweat on his forehead and opened her mouth to tell him to wipe it off, but when she saw the wet rag in his hand, she stopped talking. However, the sweat was really an eyesore and she was afraid that it would flow down and drip into his eyes, so she hesitated for a moment and finally took a towel and wiped it for him.

Han Zecheng was stunned by her sudden action.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, and saw her enlarged little face, her dark eyes like gemstones. His Adam's apple moved up and down, and he saw her cheeks slowly dyed pink. Then, pretending to be calm but actually a little flustered, he stepped back and said, "Well, I'll go pack my things."

Han Zecheng looked at her back, not knowing what to feel.

******

Han Zecheng brought back dinner from the cafeteria when he went to the dormitory to drag his luggage. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they were quite rich. There were braised spare ribs in soybean sauce, fish fillets in vinegar, braised eggplant, and stir-fried three fresh vegetables. And you could tell at a glance that they were probably stir-fried dishes rather than from the cafeteria.

Su Ruo was fine, but Han Guo was drooling as he stared at the enamel bowls that were opened one by one.

Su Ruo felt distressed when she saw this.

What a life this child had in the past...

But everything is fine now, and she will definitely protect him well and help him grow up.

They will all be fine.

Thinking of this, she felt a little sour in her heart. She turned to look at Han Zecheng and said, "Can the troops drink alcohol at home?"

"Um?"

Han Zecheng looked at Su Ruo in confusion.

Su Ruo smiled and said, "We are moving into a new house today, right? Didn't we buy a bottle of rice wine in the cafeteria yesterday? Since we can buy it in the cafeteria, it should be drinkable, right?"

In fact, she has liked eating fermented glutinous rice since she was a child. When she saw the rice wine, she also became interested in it, so she bought a bottle.

Han Zecheng smiled and said, "Okay."

But when Han Zecheng opened the rice wine, Su Ruo took a sip and felt it was spicy.

It’s also sweet, but spicier.

This is obviously not the same as the fermented rice wine she had eaten before, and even the rice wine she drank was not like this... because the homemade wine she drank before was basically a dessert and had no alcohol content.

Seeing his mother's expression, Han Guo wanted to try it too. Su Ruo was a bad-hearted person. Although her son was still young, she directly handed her cup to him. Han Guo frowned after taking a sip, but he was not afraid. He held the cup and wanted to try it. This time Su Ruo refused and snatched his cup and handed it to Han Zecheng.

Han Zecheng looked at the mother and son and smiled silently. He drank from Guoguo's cup, then poured himself another bowl and drank it all without changing his expression, which left Su Ru stunned.

Alcohol is prohibited in the army and the military district absolutely does not allow it, but it is not so strict in the family compound, and a bowl of rice wine is not considered a lot of alcohol to them.

After dinner, Su Ruo stood up and wanted to clean up the dishes, but she didn't expect Han Zecheng to be faster than her, and they both grabbed her bowl at the same time.

He said, "You take a rest first, I'll wash it."

Han Guo looked up at the two of them curiously.

He then said, "Take Guoguo to his room and have a look."

After saying that, he looked at Han Guo and said, "When you are older, you can come and wash it."

Han Guo:...I'm still very young, don't look at me.

I got up decisively and went back to my room.

Su Ruo laughed out loud, let go of her hand, said "hmm", then stood up and followed Han Guo to his room.

She took Han Guo to his room, tinkered with Han Zecheng's radio, turned it on for Han Guo to play with, and then went back to the kitchen.

She stood at the door and watched him wash the dishes for a long time, then suddenly asked, "How could I have been so lucky back then? How did we meet?"

Han Zecheng's hands paused as he was washing dishes.

The white enamel bowl with blue flowers had actually been washed a long time ago, but she was standing behind him just now, and he didn't know if it was because he had drunk alcohol or because the window was a little wide open, but he felt a little stuffy and just let the water continue to rinse.

He turned off the tap, poured the water out of the bowl, turned to look at her, and said, "What kind of luck is that?"

Su Ruo laughed and whispered, "Marry you. How lucky am I to marry you?"

She meant it sincerely.

Without any other color.

Even if she didn't remember, she could still imagine how miserable she was and how bad her situation was when she went to the countryside.

And now she is still standing here intact, with a lovely son and a stable family, all because of him.

But she didn't know how much impact her words of emotion and gratitude would have on him.

He put the bowl on the bowl rack and calmed down for a long time before he could stop himself from doing something impulsive.

He looked at her and said, "Do you think you are lucky to marry me?"

Su Ruo nodded.

His eyes were dark and his gaze was deep, and there seemed to be flames burning behind them.

His looking at her like that made her feel a little pressured, and her face started to feel slightly hot again.

She turned her face away, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "My situation must have been very bad at that time, right? If it weren't for you, I would definitely not have had an easy time. How did we meet?"

No matter what his mother said or her conversation with her sister-in-law Wu Xiumei, even if their words were biased, she could guess that her situation back then must have not been very good.

No, could it be that she really seduced him?

He said, "There was a flood on the farm. You were working outside the dam and were washed into the river before you could retreat. I saved you."

There is actually a life-saving grace?

Surprised, she turned back to look at him.

Then she realized that he had actually walked one step ahead of her when she turned her face away.

He was very tall, with broad shoulders, long legs and a narrow waist. It was November, and he was wearing a military green short-sleeved shirt, which revealed his dark arms with strong yet smooth and neat lines.

Su Ruo was not short, but he still had to look up at him.

When she looked at him like this, she immediately felt that the air in the kitchen seemed to become thinner and her breathing became a little difficult... Because he had drunk alcohol, she even smelled a faint aroma of rice wine, which made her dizzy.

She became nervous and wanted to say something to ease her discomfort, so she blurted out, "No, it's not like in ancient times, because you saved me and saw my body, so I forced you to take responsibility for me and let you marry me, right?"

She was just joking and trying to relax.

But he didn't laugh.

He stared at her for a long while, then suddenly took a step forward. Su Ruo stepped back in fright, but she forgot that the kitchen door frame was behind her.

He walked over, closed the door, then supported the door frame with one hand and brushed the soft hair on her forehead to the side with the other hand.

Then he lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I am willing to take responsibility for you, but will you let me take responsibility?"

Su Ruo's mind went blank with a buzzing sound.

My heart started pounding and my face started burning.

He moved his hand from her forehead to her ear and pinched it.

Her ears were small, originally white, tender and soft, but now they were red and hot.

Her eyes were also closed, and her long eyelashes trembled, revealing her nervousness.

The lips are peach pink, bright and watery...

He could no longer see anything else, so he lowered his head and kissed that peach pink spot.

This was the second time he kissed her after the first night.

He pressed her against the door, his breathing was a little rapid, and his kiss was a little heavy, but he was still careful and did not hurt her.

Su Ru was a little startled. She wanted to push him away, but his lips and tongue had a strong aroma of rice wine and a sweet taste. She felt dizzy all of a sudden. In the end, she did not push him away, but grabbed his clothes instead.

Her reaction encouraged him. At first, he only held her head with his hands, but later he held her in his arms. The kiss was not enough, and he also used force in his hands, wishing he could rub her into his body. The person in his arms had completely collapsed in his arms, until she cried out in pain and discomfort. He suddenly woke up, withdrew slightly, took a few breaths, and waited until his breathing was steady before he held her in his arms and asked her again in her ear: "Are you willing to let me take responsibility?"

The voice was so hoarse that it seemed to be grinding against one's heart.

Su Ruo's mind had been completely non-functioning due to the kiss, but after hearing these words, she finally came to her senses.

But it's just a little bit.

She looked at the clothes on his chest and felt like her heart was about to jump out.

She didn't know that being kissed by someone was like this, this kind of experience... The last time didn't count, because she was just frightened that time.

How could she answer?

I don't know how long it was, whether it was very long or very short, he let her go, helped her tidy up her hair and clothes, then stepped away, walked to the stove and poured a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and after a while he said again: "Go out, be careful of your clothes."
