Everyone thought that the Lu family might have stayed at Qiao Qingqing's place last night, so they waited until the afternoon to come and pay New Year's greetings.
They all thought that Qiao Qingqing was the only one at home, but they didn't expect that Lu Heng had already returned. Although these young people didn't have much experience, they were very perceptive and they all said they wanted to go home after sitting there for not long.
As soon as they left, Qiao Qingqing could no longer resist the sleepiness and went into the house to take a nap.
She didn't know that Lu Heng was not idle.
Lu Heng returned after completing his mission. Although he had reported the situation to Commander Chen first, now that there has been a new breakthrough, he needs to return to the unit as soon as possible to report.
Secondly, he also needs to go back and find out why the allowance was not delivered to his wife on time.
But before that, Lu Heng had to do something first.
He went to the town and found a carpenter to order a recliner.
He discovered that his wife seemed to like basking in the sun in winter. Today, after lunch, she was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
Lu Heng moved quickly and when he came back Qiao Qingqing was still asleep.
He went into the room and looked at his sleeping lover. He couldn't help but kiss her again and again, feeling that he could never kiss this precious treasure enough...
It was already past five o'clock when Qiao Qingqing woke up.
She slept for an hour and a half. When she woke up, she saw thick smoke coming out of the kitchen chimney. She thought Lu Heng was in the kitchen and went in to check.
But he found that Lu Heng was not there. Rice was cooking in a large iron pot. The lid of the pot was tilted to leave a thick gap to prevent the rice soup from boiling and lifting the lid.
Qiao Qingqing left the kitchen and walked around the yard, "Lu Heng? Lu Heng——"
She called out several times but no one answered.
Qiao Qingqing was a little puzzled, but when she turned around, she noticed that the bucket in the corner was gone.
She looked at the empty water tank again and vaguely understood where Lu Heng had gone wrong.
Qiao Qingqing picked up the vegetable basket and went to the vegetable garden to pick a handful of beans, a handful of green onions, and dug up some coriander.
She was sitting in the pavilion picking vegetables when the gate to the courtyard was pushed open.
Lu Heng strode in carrying a load of water. Even when he was carrying water, his back was straight, as if he was standing at attention.
The two buckets of water were steady on his shoulders, not shaking at all.
Qiao Qingqing just raised her head and took a quick glance, then lowered her head to continue picking vegetables.
However, when Lu Heng saw her sitting there, his expressionless face relaxed a little and seemed less stern.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Qiao Qingqing looked at him with a smile, "You slept too much today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."
She glanced at the burden on his shoulders again and asked, "Do you need more water?"
"Carry two more loads and fill up all the water tanks at home." Lu Heng said, and couldn't help but rub her hair. "When you are done, sit still and wait for me to come back to wash. The floor is slippery and unsafe."
Qiao Qingqing nodded, "Then you better hurry up, the rice in the pot will be cooked soon."
"Hey." Lu Heng turned his head and walked away quickly, taking big and quick steps.
This time, Lu Heng's speed of fetching water suddenly increased dramatically.
When Qiao Qingqing asked him the reason, she learned that when the boy was carrying the first load of water, he was so kind-hearted that he started to help the elderly men and women in the village fetch water, which delayed him.
