Han Jingchen looked at the expressions of the two men, then looked at the room. It didn't look like there was going to be a quarrel.

He frowned. Was there something he didn't know?

Han Jingchen suddenly appeared like this, standing in the middle with his tall stature. The whole room seemed to become narrow, and the two women in the room were stunned.

Pei Manning was embarrassed, but also relieved. With Han Jingchen's explanation, Aunt Han shouldn't misunderstand her anymore, right? No matter what she said, Aunt Han felt that she was trying to hide her shyness.

Mother Han looked at Pei Manning first and said with a smile, "Manning, let me talk to the fourth child first." Then she pulled Han Jingchen aside, lowered her voice, and scolded, "Fourth child, what's wrong with you? You didn't even tell me that you were dating someone? I'm not prepared at all when I meet my future daughter-in-law!"

Future daughter-in-law?

Han Jing calmed down and looked at Pei Manning in the distance. Fortunately, she didn't hear him. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, what are you talking about? When did I start dating someone?"

"Okay! How dare you deny it? If you don't have a partner, can you let that girl live in your home?" Han's mother's face darkened. "Fourth brother, I warn you, you can't play with that girl's feelings. Otherwise, don't even mention your dad, I'll cut off your legs first!"

However, she knew her son well. The fourth son was not an irresponsible person.

Han Jingchen: “…”

The old lady is now missing her daughter-in-law like crazy.

"Mom, I'll explain this to you on the way back to the guesthouse. I'll take you to the military guesthouse to rest tonight." He didn't want to discuss these topics in front of Pei Manning.

"Why go to a guesthouse? I'll stay here tonight." She hasn't even had the chance to say a few words to her future daughter-in-law, so don't even think about getting her away!

"No! There are not enough rooms here, it's not convenient." Han Jingchen knew his mother very well. If his mother lived here, there was no telling what kind of trouble she would cause.

Mother Han ignored him. She turned around and said loudly to Pei Manning, "Xiaoning? Is it convenient for auntie to rest here tonight?"

Can Pei Manning say it's inconvenient?

She nodded: "Of course it's convenient."

Mother Han glanced at Han Jingchen with pride, then walked over and happily took Pei Manning's hand: "It just so happens that auntie still has a lot to say to you. You also know that the fourth child is a taciturn person. He always has a stern face and never tells his family anything. He and I have nothing to say to each other. Now it's good. Finally, there is someone to talk to."

Pei Manning looked at Han Jingchen, feeling somewhat helpless. However, after thinking about it, she felt that it would be better to use the opportunity of the conversation to clarify the misunderstanding, so she smiled and said, "Okay, aunt."

Han Jingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the two of them. They had such a good relationship when they first met?

His mother was usually very wary of others, and Pei Manning was the same, so why did they seem to be so close now?

Han Jingchen always felt that he was thrown aside by the two of them and seemed a little redundant.

…

There are three rooms in the small courtyard. Pei Manning separated the back room into a kitchen and storage room, and she used bamboo screens and bamboo shelves to separate the main room into a living room and study. There is a bamboo bed in it. Now the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, so she plans to leave the side room to Aunt Han and live in the study herself.

However, Han Jingchen always felt uneasy, so he stayed as well.

Well, the bed in the loft is relatively big, so it is no problem for four or five people to sleep in it. At this time, there are still some families where several generations of both men and women live in a small room of more than 20 square meters, so there is nothing to be sad about.

Pei Manning and Han's mother stayed in the guest room first, while Han Jingchen took a pillow and a quilt and slept in the study.

It was late at night, and Han's mother was lying on the bed talking to Pei Manning, "Manning, how did you and the fourth child get to know each other?"

She is really curious about this.

The fourth brother had no time for training and only for missions. He spent most of his time in the camp, surrounded by tanned soldiers. How could he have the time to get to know female volunteers?

She had thought about arranging a blind date for the fourth child before. The daughters of Political Commissar Xu's family and the daughters of the General Logistics Department in the compound both liked the fourth child very much.

But she couldn't be the fourth child's wife, otherwise he would turn against her.

Besides, the fourth child doesn't like it, and she, as a mother, is reluctant to force him.

Now it's finally okay. He finally knew how to pick up cabbages, and he got back a juicy cabbage. Oh, it's beautiful and gentle, which is beyond her expectations!

When Pei Manning heard Han's mother ask this, she told the whole story from beginning to end: "Aunt, the truth is, Han Zhianxian saved me..."

She told what she could, from how she was rescued from the water by Han Jingchen to how she was placed here in the end. Of course, she didn't dare to say anything about the secrets that could not be told.

"So, I'm really not the right person for Han Zhi."

Mother Han was shocked. In addition to being shocked by Pei Manning's bizarre life experience, she was also shocked that her good daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law she had been looking forward to for a long time, the daughter-in-law she hadn't even warmed up to yet, just flew away like that?

After being happy for a while, Han's mother felt very disappointed when she told her that it was all a misunderstanding.

However, after feeling disappointed for a while, Han's mother cheered up again. Even if she didn't like it now, she could still like it in the future!

Moreover, the little girl was the first girl who was so close to the fourth child. When he was little, the fourth child didn't like to play with the girls in the compound because he disliked them for being crybaby and coquettish. When he grew up, he also didn't like coquettish girls because he disliked them for being troublesome.

When did you find a little girl who takes care of other people's "troublesome" people so attentively?

There must be a way!

Han's mother's mind suddenly became active again.

She was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. She asked directly, "What do you think of my fourth son? Don't be like me, Wang Po, bragging about herself. Although the fourth son has a cold face, he is actually very kind to his own people and protects their shortcomings. All the men in our Han family love their wives. His father and his three brothers also love their wives. The fourth son certainly loves them too. What do you think of him as a revolutionary comrade?"

Mother Han tried her best to help her son pull the baby out, and almost stuffed it directly into Pei Manning's hands.

"..." Pei Manning was speechless. Aunt Han was too direct, so direct that she couldn't respond!

Is this appropriate to talk about when we first meet?

It is undeniable that Han Zhi is a good person, but good people are not necessarily suitable for dating.

He was too alert and sensitive, meticulous, and had a strong sense of responsibility. Wouldn't she have to live in fear if she was with him?

"Aunt, Han Zhi is a very good person," Pei Manning said. When Han's mother heard this, she had already expected that there would be a "but". Sure enough, "But, I don't have the mood to think about these now."

Mother Han breathed a sigh of relief. It was good, as long as no one refused.

"Then you can think about it again when you feel like it."

Pei Manning held her forehead, and it seemed that she couldn't be tactful. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, I really don't have any bad thoughts about Han Xiaozhi."

Mother Han understood and didn't like what the fourth child meant.

Look! She said that the fourth child always had a stern face, was not considerate, had a stubborn temper and could not coax people. It was a waste of the good appearance she gave him!

She couldn't even bring back her daughter-in-law!

Han's mother was very disappointed with her husband's failure to achieve his goal, while Han Jingchen was tossing and turning in his study.

After turning off the lights, he lay down on the small bamboo bed to rest.

But he was tall and strong, and when he lay down he was longer than the small bamboo bed, so he could only curl up his long legs in a cramped manner.

Not long after I lay down, I noticed something was wrong.

Pei Manning's faint body fragrance still remained on the quilt. He didn't know what kind of strange fragrance penetrated into his nose through every pore. It was especially obvious in the dead of night.

It was as if the woman's warm and soft body was lying not far away from him.

In his mind, he could not help but imagine Pei Manning lying on the bamboo bed, covered with the same quilt, sleeping on the same pillow, half asleep, charming and seductive...

Han Jingchen's body was extremely stiff and tense, his mind was a little confused, he felt his throat getting drier and drier, and an inexplicable heat emanated from every pore in his body.

He turned over, frowned his fierce and unruly brows, closed his eyes, shut out those vivid images, and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

But, the scent of a woman's body lingers on the quilt...

I don't know how much time passed.

Han Jingchen opened his dark and narrow eyes, which were particularly bright in the night. He simply gave up struggling, pulled the quilt aside irritably, and prepared to sleep like this for the night.

After closing my eyes for a while, I could smell Pei Manning's hair on the pillow, which was fresh and rich.

Han Jingchen: “…”

Can people still sleep well?

He scratched his thick black short hair irritably, then resignedly stretched out a big hand and threw the soft and fragrant pillow aside.

Close your eyes again.

But now he couldn't fall asleep. His tall and strong body lay on the small bamboo bed like a small ball. He tossed and turned and felt like a hundred Pei Mannings were lying beside him.

He felt inexplicably anxious, his body felt a little hot, and there was a hint of soreness in his throat.

"@#!" Han Jingchen uttered a low curse word. This cold, self-disciplined and resolute man sweared for the first time. Then he sat up from the small bamboo bed, put on a vest and military pants, and fetched two buckets of water from the well in the yard.

At this time, it was late at night and all the lights were turned off.

The cold wind at night was still a bit biting, and the well water was even colder. Han Jingchen directly scooped a few scoops of cold water from the bucket with a ladle and poured it over his head.

The biting cold water flowed down her short hair, neck, broad shoulders and beautiful spine. After being soaked, her army green vest clung tightly to her skin, revealing her bulging muscles without a trace of fat. They were not rough, but bursting with power.

The water splashed on the ground with a loud noise. After two buckets of water were poured, the restlessness was finally suppressed.

When he calmed down, it was already four in the morning. Han Jingchen finally had a good sleep that night.
