Every day after dinner, the three little ones would take a shower and go upstairs to listen to the radio, while they would study downstairs until the lights were turned off.
But today, Lin Zhengran was a little excited when he thought about giving birth during the day, and was in a daze.
When a pair of hands reached out from behind to unbutton her pajamas, Lin Zhengran suddenly started writing.
She thought of what her two sisters-in-law had said during the day, and turned to ask him:
"I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow."
"Yes." Qin Shouguo stepped forward and said, "Buy it every other day."
"Go to bed early tonight." Lin Zhengran turned around and cleaned the table. His movements were so fast that even Qin Shouguo was surprised.
He looked at his watch. It was not yet eight o'clock.
"Sleeping at this hour?" He asked uncertainly, "Are you sure?"
I am not sure about going to bed early as an adult? Lin Zhengran turned to look at him and saw the dazzling ripples in his eyes.
Lin Zhengran knew what he wanted to do, he took a breath, and said seriously:
"Comrade Qin, clear the crap out of your head. Tonight, I'm just going to have an early night."
"You are the one who is not simple."
Qin Shouguo pushed down her chair, and it fell backwards. Lin Zhengran opened her arms in fear. Qin Shouguo took advantage of the situation and hugged her waist, turned on the light, and got on the bed.
Lin Zhengran was held in his arms, and even his breathing became shallow.
In the darkness, Qin Shouguo pinched her face amusedly, "Don't worry, go to bed early tonight, isn't that what you said?"
"I said so."
Lin Zhengran found a comfortable position in his arms and told him what his two sisters-in-law had said during the day.
Qin Shouguo is a very shameless man, how can this be called a big deal!
But Lin Zhengran is not like that. If someone comes to tease her, she will feel embarrassed, and Qin Shouguo can also see it.
He also asked her: "You are already a mother, so why should you be embarrassed about this?"
Lin Zhengran asked in his arms, "Can't you be embarrassed as a mother?"
"Why not?" Qin Shouguo touched her face and said, "You can do whatever you want."
When Lin Zhengran heard what he said, he placed his hand on his chest and half leaned over to look at him, "I'm fine with anything, but you won't let me go to work, do you really want to support me?"
Speaking of Qin Shouguo, I still have to explain something.
That's not what he meant just now. Qin Shouguo rubbed her head and said:
“There are few jobs on the island, and we’ll be leaving in half a year. I can’t take you with me then, so I thought I’d find you a job after I go to Su Province.
But what Nanfeng said tonight is right. It's okay to let you exercise. I didn't say you can't go to work, I just think it's troublesome."
Lin Zhengran looked at him as if he had passed the test, and then lay on his shoulder.
The night wind blew gently, the window was half open, and the sea breeze came in, ruffling the ends of his hair. Lin Zhengran lowered his eyes and said nothing, in a daze.
Qin Shouguo half raised his head to look at her. The bright moonlight shone on her fair face. Her long eyelashes blinked, and she realized that he was looking at her with a puzzled look.
Nanfeng and Duobao both inherited her genes and have very fair skin.
Nanfeng trains every day and has become tanned. Duobao goes out to play every day and the pretty boy has become a pretty boy.
But she seldom goes out and reads books at home every day, so she didn't get tanned.
No other woman on the island was as fair as she was, her face glowing white, without a single blemish.
She has a round face and willow-shaped eyes. She is very recognizable when she smiles, even if she doesn't smile.
"Stop looking. I don't want to embarrass myself again tomorrow. If you have the energy, go dig the soil in the yard instead of bothering me."
After being with him, Lin Zhengran discovered that soldiers really have a lot of energy.
Occasionally he would go to the camp at night and come back in the morning, but he would be full of energy the next day.
She is a little overwhelmed!
Qin Shouguo lay down and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, if I get up on time every day to buy groceries, they will also say that our husband and wife life is not harmonious."
Lin Zhengran's face choked. According to the habits of the women on the island, they might indeed say so.
She lowered her eyes in thought.
Qin Shouguo looked at her and smiled, and advised her, "Just get used to it."
"But it's okay if you're not used to it. We'll be leaving next year anyway."
Lin Zhengran hummed.
Qin Shouguo looked down at her and couldn't help but ruffle her hair.
Lin Zhengran looked up at him and heard him say in her ear: "Grow your hair long. Although short hair looks good too, you have more long hair."
More???
Lin Zhengran was full of questions. What was this?
"If you want me to eat more, just tell me to eat a little more fat."
"Well. Then you should gain some weight." Qin Shouguo said with a smile.
Lin Zhengran did not respond to this unreasonable man this time.
After a long silence fell in the room, Qin Shouguo found that her breathing was steady.
He lifted the quilt with his feet and covered the person, then held the person in his arms and fell asleep.

"When the test papers are handed out, please try to write what you know. We will decide which grade you will teach based on your ranking.
There are five subjects in total: Chinese, Arithmetic, Geography, Science, and History. The exams will be finished today, and the papers will be issued tomorrow. The results will be announced tomorrow at 8 o'clock. Those who don't come will be considered as forfeiting.
After the principal finished speaking, he asked the teacher next to him to distribute the papers. He blew on the cup, drank a sip of water, and started walking around the classroom.
We only recruited five teachers in total, but there were almost thirty people here.
There were twenty men and eight women. The men were well dressed and had pens in their pockets. The women all had two braids, each of them beautifully and smoothly styled.
Lin Zhengran had no confidence to begin with, and seeing that they all looked very educated, he lost even less confidence.
Principal Feng Shui passed by her, saw her looking around and coughed lightly.
Lin Zhengran was startled and quickly lowered his head and shook off the pen, pretending to be very serious.
After finishing the examinations for the five lessons that morning, Lin Zhengran walked out of the classroom with empty eyes, feeling less motivated.
Seeing her abandon her friends like this, Su Meilian chased after her.
Lin Zhengran originally thought that Su Meilin was here to attack her.
After all, she had only known her for a few months, and this woman was always sarcastic when she spoke to her.
"Didn't you do well in the exam?" Su Meilin hesitated for a long time before speaking behind her.
It has only been half a month since Su Meilin gave birth, which means that Su Meilin is still in confinement.
The next day, Aunt Su came to Wu Shengli's house with a lot of things to thank him and apologize.
The apology was because the two women had previously had an argument, but Lin Zhengran observed that most people on the island were like this.
They are noisy sometimes, but they will never refuse to help anyone who asks for help.
After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and everyone is prepared to ask for help from others in case something unexpected happens.
So there are minor quarrels, but few people never interact with each other until they die.
Lin Zhengran himself was not the kind of person who cared much about matters, so after Aunt Su apologized, those things were over.
"It's okay!" Lin Zhengran perfunctorily told her. Seeing that she was about to walk back, he kindly asked, "Do you want me to take you?"
Su Meilian paused when she saw her old bicycle, but did not get on it. Instead, she smiled and said:
"I have a bicycle at home too, it's not like your broken one, but I don't know how to pedal it, so it's just lying around."
