Chapter 20: The Daily Life of a Spoiled Darling – Even at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, She Wants a Hug!
Since that night, a strange yet harmonious relationship has developed between Qin Lie and Jiang Wu.
During the day, Qin Lie went to the army for training, while Jiang Wu stayed home and cooked all sorts of delicious meals for him.
Or perhaps they're engrossed in reading the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual."
Qin Lie returned home that evening.
He was always greeted with hot meals and a smiling wife.
After dinner and a shower, the two of them lay down on the same bed.
Do things that couples should do together.
Qin Lie went from initial resistance and struggle to later half-hearted acceptance, and now he's thoroughly enjoying it.
It only took a few days.
He found himself becoming increasingly dependent on this woman.
I can't live without her cooking.
I can't live without her fragrance.
And it's inseparable from her ultimate tenderness and passion at night.
Jiang Wu also noticed that this man was spoiling her more and more.
He listens to everything she says.
He gave her whatever she wanted.
She occasionally throws a little tantrum or acts out.
He might say a few harsh words to her.
But in the end, he would still reluctantly and indulgently give in to her.
For example, today.
We're out of soy sauce at home.
Jiang Wu said she was going to buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative on the island is quite a distance from the residential compound, about a 20-minute walk away.
Jiang Wu stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the scorching sun outside.
She glanced at it once and then turned back.
"husband."
She ran to Qin Lie, who was wiping his Type 54 pistol in the yard, and started to act coquettishly, pulling on his arm.
"The sun is so bright outside, I don't want to walk."
Qin Lie paused for a moment while cleaning his gun.
He looked up at the sky.
The sun is indeed very strong.
It burns intensely when the sun shines on you.
He frowned.
"Then I won't go."
"Let's go when it gets cooler in the evening."
"No way," Jiang Wu pouted and shook her head. "I want to eat braised pork ribs tonight, but I can't make it without soy sauce."
Upon hearing the words "braised pork ribs," Qin Lie couldn't help but swallow.
He hasn't eaten meat for several days.
"Then I'll take you there on my bike."
As he spoke, he prepared to push the old bicycle parked in the corner.
"don't want."
Jiang Wu stopped him.
"My butt hurts when I ride a bicycle."
She had a spoiled and delicate air about her.
Qin Lie: "..."
The veins on his forehead started throbbing uncontrollably again.
This woman is getting harder and harder to please!
They won't walk, and they won't take a car.
What does she want to do?
Fly over there?!
"So what do you want?"
He asked patiently in a deep voice.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to explode, Jiang Wu was not afraid at all; instead, she laughed.
She stretched out her two white, lotus-root-like arms and opened them towards him.
The meaning is self-evident.
Qin Lie's pupils contracted sharply.
He looked at her posture, so self-righteous in asking for a hug.
I feel like my head is about to explode again.
"Jiang Wu!"
He called her name through gritted teeth.
"Don't go too far!"
Ask him to carry her to the supply and marketing cooperative?!
What was she thinking?!
From the family compound to the supply and marketing cooperative, the route passes through the training ground, the office building, and the family quarters...
How many people must have traveled this way?!
He was a commander of a main force regiment!
Parading around town with his wife in his arms?!
Does he even care about his reputation?!
"Where did I go too far?"
Jiang Wu blinked innocently.
Didn't you hug me last time?
"I brought it back from the beach."
"They carried me inside even when I was at the door."
"What, you won't hug me now?"
"Don't you love me anymore?"
As she spoke, her eyes began to redden again.
He looked like he was about to cry at any moment.
Qin Lie looked at her, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
He discovered that this woman had now mastered the art of "crying and making a scene" to perfection.
Furthermore, she added the fatal blow of "questioning whether he no longer loves me," which left him with no room for rebuttal.
Can he say he doesn't love her?
He dared not.
He was afraid that if he said it, the woman would cry herself to death in front of him.
Qin Lie closed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness wash over him.
What sins did he commit in his past life?
You'd never be lucky enough to have such a troublesome little devil in your life!
He looked into her large eyes, which were already brimming with tears.
The last line of defense in my heart collapsed.
"Come up."
He squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.
Then, he bent down slightly with his back to her.
Hugging is out of the question.
That would be so embarrassing.
His back was his last line of defense.
"I don't want to carry it."
Jiang Wu, however, refused to give up.
"You can't see the road if you're carrying it."
"I want a hug."
She persisted.
Qin Lie: "..."
He felt like he was going to be driven to his death by this woman today.
The two remained locked in a stalemate in the courtyard.
One stubbornly refused to hug him, even if it meant getting hurt.
One of them had its arms outstretched and I absolutely had to hug it.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the courtyard.
"Commander! Commander!"
It was the voice of Zhang Dashan, the battalion commander.
He was running past the gate of the courtyard with a few soldiers carrying sandbags.
Upon seeing this strange scene in the courtyard, everyone stopped in their tracks.
They looked at their regimental commander, whose face was dark and whose back was to his wife.
Then I looked at the young woman with her arms outstretched and a spoiled expression.
Everyone wore a sly smile, as if they were watching a good show.
"Hey, Commander, Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Zhang Dashan was the boldest; he came up and asked a question he already knew the answer to.
Qin Lie's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
He's almost completely lost face in his entire life!
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up when she saw someone arrive.
The opportunity has arrived!
The tears in her eyes instantly burst forth.
"Wow--"
She burst into tears.
"Honey, is it because I'm too heavy that you won't hug me?"
"You just don't love me anymore!"
"Waaaaah... My life is so miserable..."
Her crying was so loud and heart-wrenching that it moved all who heard it to tears.
The soldiers who were watching the commotion at the door were completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Dashan was completely dumbfounded.
This was the first time he had ever seen anyone dare to act so unruly and unreasonable in front of their living Yama.
And it was all so that the living Yama would hug her?
This young lady is just too... amazing!
All eyes were on Qin Lie.
I want to see how he'll handle this.
Should we immediately take action and execute this arrogant and ignorant sister-in-law on the spot?
still……
Qin Lie felt all the blood rush to his head.
He listened to Jiang Wu's crying, which was so obviously fake.
I could hear those brats at the door trying to suppress their laughter as they gasped for breath.
He felt like a clown being roasted on a fire.
He had never been so humiliated in his life!
He really wanted to turn around and leave.
They left this lawless woman here all alone.
But when he saw her red, swollen eyes and her slightly trembling shoulders...
His heart felt as if it had been squeezed tightly by something.
It's both sour and soft.
never mind.
So what if it's embarrassing?
Who told her to be the wife he chose?
You chose it yourself, so you have to spoil it to the end, even if you have to kneel down.
Qin Lie took a deep breath, as if he had made a momentous decision.
He turned around, amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd.
He strode up to Jiang Wu.
Then he bent down and picked up the woman who was still faking crying in one swift motion!
Wow!
The soldiers at the gate collectively let out a gasp of amazement and cheers.
"The commander is mighty!"
"The commander is awesome!"
"May your sister-in-law be happy!"
Whistles and cheers rose and fell.
Jiang Wu was held in his arms, and her crying stopped abruptly.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.
But a victorious smile secretly crept onto his lips.
Qin Lie's ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
He held the woman in his arms, who had "successfully committed the crime" and was still secretly smiling.
He walked past the group of jeering soldiers without looking to the side.
He walked very fast, taking long strides.
It felt as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing us from behind.
He just wanted to get away from this place of humiliation as quickly as possible.
However, the woman in his arms refused to grant his wish.
"husband."
Her voice came muffled from his chest.
"What are you doing!"
Qin Lie's voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Walk a little slower."
Jiang Wu's hands restlessly drew circles on his chest.
"You're walking so fast, I can't even see the scenery along the road anymore."
Qin Lie: "..."
He felt his blood pressure spike again.
He really wanted to throw this reckless woman on the ground right now!
But when he looked down and saw the sly yet dependent smile on her upturned little face...
All his anger inexplicably vanished.
His pace unconsciously slowed down.
The setting sun cast long, long shadows of the two people.
From a distance, it looks like the most heartwarming and beautiful painting.
As I passed by the training ground, I happened to see another company conducting combat training.
A group of shirtless, muscular soldiers saw their regimental commander walk past them carrying a fairy-like young wife.
Everyone stopped moving.
They all stared at them in disbelief, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Until their figures disappeared into the distance.
A deafening wolf howl erupted on the training field.
"Holy crap! What did I just see?!"
"The commander... is hugging a woman?!"
"Is that the commander's wife? She's so beautiful! Like a fairy descended from heaven!"
"Waaaaah, I've been dumped! I've lost my goal in life!"
"The commander is so manly! He's so damn handsome! I want to find a wife like him when I grow up! To hold her in my arms every day!"
Qin Lie, who was walking in front, heard the increasingly unrestrained jeers behind him.
His face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.
He quickened his pace, almost running, and carried Jiang Wu towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
He swore he would never do such a shameful thing again!
Absolutely not!
However, Qin Lie was unaware of this.
He will break this vow himself in the near future.
Moreover, it was completely destroyed.
On their way to the supply and marketing cooperative, they passed by the sanitation team's courtyard.
Just then, a young soldier limped out of there.
His knees were wrapped in thick bandages, and his face showed a pained expression.
Qin Lie stopped walking as usual.
"Xiao Wang, what happened to your leg?"
When the soldier named Xiao Wang saw that it was Qin Lie, he quickly saluted.
"Report to the team leader! I twisted my knee during training! The team doctor said it's a ligament strain and I'll need to rest for several months!"
His voice was filled with frustration and resentment.
For a soldier, not being able to train for several months is worse than death.
Qin Lie frowned, wanting to say something more.
But he found that Jiang Wu in his arms was staring intently at the soldier's knee.
His eyes were focused and earnest.
It carried a hint of inquiry and contemplation that he couldn't understand.
P.S.: Sweet...
