"It means to increase strength."
Chen Yifei gently squeezed her mischievous hand, and his initially anxious heart calmed down.
He Runqing nodded in sudden realization: "Then I understand!"
"Comrade Chen Yifei, do you think it's great to have me around?"
Her eyes darted around, and her expression was smug.
The little girl who had been hiding her tears in his heart seemed to have disappeared.
Chen Yifei gave a soft "hmm". Seeing her joyful mood, he couldn't help but feel happy as well.
He Runqing let him lean on her, and then said, "If you're too tired, you can share things with me."
"For example, today, after being released from the detention center, how did he end up at the state-run restaurant? And he even drank alcohol."
Chen Yifei was a little nervous, wondering if she didn't like him drinking.
Then she quickly took a step back, and said somewhat nervously, "Um, if you don't like it, I'll try my best to change it in the future, but in many situations, it's actually necessary..."
Chen Yifei was a little nervous for the first time.
He knew that many wives didn't like their husbands drinking. In his past life, no one had controlled him, so he drank as much as he wanted, even getting a perforated stomach.
Now that he has a little wife, but they're not even married yet, he can't be looked down upon now.
He won't do anything if his wife doesn't like it.
To everyone's surprise, He Runqing shook her head: "It's not that I dislike it! I just want to know what happened to you."
Chen Yifei didn't mince words, recounting his time in the detention center and how Jiang Ping and Yu Liang from the meat processing plant happened to run into him and went to bail him out.
He described these things as if they were someone else's story, simply stating them out.
However, after hearing this, He Runqing thought to himself, "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
"I believe in you, and I'm not worried about you at all. Don't feel pressured."
After she said this, she gripped Chen Yifei's hard wrist tightly, refusing to let go.
He says he's not worried, but he's actually more worried than anyone else.
Chen Yifei saw it at a glance.
"Then I want to thank Comrade He Runqing for coming to find me and taking me home."
"You're welcome, but I've sorted things out for you." He Runqing was not only worried, but also racking her brains.
“The police said you were reported. After Wang Jianshe was released from the detention center, he spread the news that you were going to be arrested. Especially when you didn’t come back, he started making a big fuss.”
He Runqing still feels that the clods of dirt that were thrown at him weren't big enough.
"That's him." Chen Yifei loosened his muscles. "I'll deal with him when we get back."
"But weren't he and Zheng Fang taken away by the commune to write reports together? It shouldn't be that easy for them to get out. Zheng Fang hasn't been released either."
That's really strange. What kind of methods does Wang Jianshe use?
He Runqing had heard some of it, since the village had been talking about it recently.
She leaned forward cautiously and whispered in Chen Yifei's ear, "I don't know the specifics, but Zheng Fang's parents said they're preparing for the wedding."
"We're waiting for Zheng Fang to come home. She said she'd marry him once they're from the same family... Wang Jianshe. I heard it from Xiao Mei, and it's all over the village."
Wang Jianshe married?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yifei burst out laughing: "This is like marrying into the family."
It turns out they were exchanging marrying into the family for not suffering in the detention center.
Zheng Fang was willing; it was a mutual agreement, and they've probably been waiting for quite some time.
It's good that we're together, so that the virus doesn't circulate and affect others.
Anyway, his reputation is completely ruined now.
It's quite interesting that someone as self-important as Wang Jianshe has now become a son-in-law, specifically with Zheng Fang.
She used to be considered a village beauty because of her looks, but then she was drowned in a pig cage and her reputation was ruined. Now she's taken responsibility for being labeled a "female hooligan" and has been arrested.
These are all genuinely bad reputations.
It can only be said that Chen Yifei was quite "optimistic" about this relationship. How could an ordinary person endure such humiliation?
Speaking of this, Chen Yifei and He Runqing both smiled broadly.
Looking at his wife's smile, he felt even more intoxicated. Chen Yifei had indeed drunk a bit too much this morning, and he still had to think about the upcoming matters at the farm.
Fortunately, the house repairs were handled by his parents; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to manage so many things on his own.
Looking at my wife now, with my sore fingers resting on her waist, I wish it could stay like this forever.
He Runqing turned around and saw that his cheeks were getting redder and redder.
He said, "I'll borrow the kitchen of the state-run restaurant to cook you a bowl of hangover soup."
"Honey, there's some hangover soup, but I didn't drink it." At this moment, Chen Yifei pulled her inside to sit down, where a bowl of warm soup was placed. "From now on, if anyone invites me, I'll say I don't drink."
He was speaking seriously.
He Runqing met his tense gaze and said with a smile, "Well, it's not that I won't let you drink it."
"You have things you like, whether it's drinking, smoking, or even necessities, they are all part of you."
She said with some regret, "I've seen Dad talk business with others before, and it's always like this, unavoidable. But you can drink less. I just hope that next time I can be there for you, remind you to drink less, and make you some hangover soup in time."
"As for smoking, I saw that when you first started smoking, you borrowed some books from the commune to read. They said that people often want to smoke when they are under a lot of pressure. So let's do it together. I'll help you deal with the pressure, and we can gradually adjust."
