Shen Fenghua was still lost in her own thoughts, not having recovered from her shock. Who would have thought that the next sentence would be the man's resounding declaration, "I can't give birth either."
My first reaction upon hearing this was, "Is this person crazy?"
When I looked up and saw his face, a sentence popped into my mind: "Looking at this face, I can still eat."
It looks good that you can eat half a bowl more even after you're full.
The man had striking eyebrows and bright eyes. When the two looked at each other, they were both stunned by each other's appearance.
Looking at Shen Fenghua's delicate features, her heart skipped a beat. "I... can I sit here?"
Looking at this face, Shen Fenghua suddenly became interested. She wanted to know how this man was infertile.
After all, there's a huge difference between 'not being able to have children' and 'not being able to have children at all'.
"Please sit down!" Shen Fenghua became interested.
"Hello, let me introduce myself first. I'm Qi Ye, twenty-six years old, a platoon leader. My unit is stationed two kilometers from here. I have two kids under my command..."
Oh~
A brand new storyline has begun: the stepmother.
It's not that I can't have children, it's that I don't want to.
“He’s not my biological child. His parents were both martyrs who saved my life. After they sacrificed their lives, I took over the child.” Qi Ye paused here, looking at Shen Fenghua’s calm face without any emotion, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Thinking that the outcome depended on this one move, he continued, "I am twenty-six years old this year. I was injured in the war a few years ago and cannot have children. Therefore, adopting two children is a good thing. I came out for a blind date this time because I was thinking of using the excuse of family members accompanying the military to transfer the children's household registration and send them to school."
It is reasonable and well-founded, and convincing.
Touching the shards of glass, Shen Fenghua became much more serious. "Shen Fenghua is twenty-three years old this year. She went into the water in the dead of winter and got sick, which made it difficult for her to have children and delayed her marriage. She came out for a blind date this time because of a job transfer, which forced her to get married."
Upon hearing Shen Fenghua's words, Qi Ye immediately understood.
Nowadays, people believe in starting a family before building a career. Only after starting a family can superiors entrust you with tasks with peace of mind.
When considering promoting a subordinate with a stable family and one who prefers to work independently, both require careful consideration.
This is also where Shen Fenghua suffered a loss.
They lacked a stable rear base.
Thinking of this, the two exchanged a glance and reached the same conclusion.
Since neither of them can have children, why not... let each of them get what they need?
Looking into Shen Fenghua's sparkling eyes, Qi Ye said loudly, "Don't worry, after we get married, I won't let the child disturb your life. I can have my aunt come and take care of the child. They will never be a burden to you. After marriage, I will take on my own responsibilities and hand over my entire salary for joint family expenses."
Full of sincerity.
Shen Fenghua pondered for a moment, "I need to see the child first."
If the two kids are the kind of well-behaved children who are easy to get along with, then there's naturally no problem. If not, then Shen Fenghua will have to make an emergency retreat. If they're unruly kids, causing trouble every day, who can stand that?
Besides, if they really get married, no matter what the reality is, they'll be one family to outsiders.
We all prosper together, and we all suffer together.
She didn't want to be cleaning up after the troublemaker every day.
Moreover... if the other side brought two children, then she also had her own selfish motives.
Before he could even decide, Qi Ye blurted out, "No problem!" Qi Ye stood up. "Shall we leave now?"
He raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. "If I leave three hours, I can catch the 4 p.m. train."
A look of bewilderment flashed across Shen Fenghua's eyes, followed by astonishment, "Now...now?"
“Yes.” Qi Ye said with certainty, “It’s better to do this sooner rather than later. Besides,” he chuckled softly, “wouldn’t it be even better if we could catch them off guard?”
As long as time is tight, Qi Ye won't have a chance to tip off Shen Fenghua. Once Shen Fenghua arrives, she will naturally be able to see the child's true self.
Good grief, they saw right through my plan.
However, Shen Fenghua wasn't guilty; after all, it was a two-way selection process, and everyone is picky.
Home should be a place where you can relax after a busy day, not a place where you work yourself to the bone at work and then come home to a mess to clean up, making life seem meaningless.
If that's the case, Shen Fenghua feels that this job isn't so important anymore.
As for the rumors and gossip outside, and the constant visits from the neighborhood committee aunties and factory leaders, Shen Fenghua thought despondently, "Just take it one step at a time, why think so much?"
Whether it works out or not, this is the last time.
A tangled mess must be cut off decisively; otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more difficult it becomes to untangle.
It's a tangled mess, impossible to unravel.
Thinking of this, a fleeting determination flashed in Shen Fenghua's eyes, "Okay, then let's set off now."
Four hours later, carrying simple luggage, Shen Fenghua and Qi Ye appeared at the train station. Looking back now, she felt that she had been really crazy.
I took a leave of absence and just left.
After a full day and night on the train, Shen Fenghua felt reborn when she got off.
I'm no longer out of breath, my back doesn't hurt anymore, and I can plow two acres of land right now.
Looking at Shen Fenghua, a smile flashed between Qi Ye's brows. "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Shen Fenghua wanted to curse. Didn't he see that she was almost exhausted? Didn't he know how to be considerate of a girl?
Her stomach was rumbling, and she desperately needed a shower.
In this sweltering heat, Shen Fenghua suspected she was going to spoil!
"It's getting late. Let's have some food first, spend the night at the guesthouse, rest a bit, and then take an oxcart to the countryside early tomorrow morning."
Qi Ye smiled, and judging from Shen Fenghua's expression, he knew without even looking that she was cursing him in her heart!
The arrangements were all well-thought-out, which pleased Shen Fenghua. She gave Qi Ye an approving look, and Qi Ye silently straightened his posture.
Yes, I need to be a reliable man.
The weather was hot and I didn't have much of an appetite, but when the delicious-looking wontons with thin wrappers and generous fillings were served, Shen Fenghua thought, "What do you mean I don't have an appetite because of the heat? It's clearly because the food is bad."
After finishing a bowl of wontons, Shen Fenghua felt better. "I'll go take a shower first. You can eat slowly."
Yes, Qi Ye is eating his third bowl.
This physique didn't just appear out of thin air.
It's all real food, piled up bowl by bowl.
Then came the simple shopping; after all, you can't go to the countryside to visit your children empty-handed.
Shen Fenghua thought for a moment, then bought a bag of milk candy and a bag of fruit candy, without preparing anything else.
The next morning, they boarded an oxcart heading to the countryside and bumped along the way to their destination.
