After a bumpy twenty-hour drive, the group finally arrived back in Chunjiang County around 5:00 a.m. the next day.
Although Lu Cheng and Qin An Ning took turns driving, the long period of concentration still made them feel tired.
After returning home, they couldn't wait to enter the space and take a good bath to get rid of their fatigue.
Lu Cheng yawned and complained, "I will never drag others along casually again. If it were just the two of us, would we have to rush back in such a hurry?"
I don’t know what urgent matter it was that forced Director Sun to rush back overnight.
He was fine, as driving for more than ten hours was common. He was mainly worried about Qin Anning, who was so tired sitting in the small space of the car. "Wife, are you exhausted?"
"Yeah, my back and waist ache from sitting all the time." Qin An Ning leaned lazily on the bed.
She was indeed exhausted, and if she hadn't taken a bath to relieve her fatigue, she wouldn't even have wanted to take a bath.
"Ningning, lie down, I'll give you a good massage." Lu Cheng patted the bed and said gently.
"No, you're pretty tired too, you should go to sleep."
"You go to sleep. I'll massage you before you go back to sleep." As he spoke, Lu Cheng gently sat beside Qin An Ning, stretched out his palms, and pressed her shoulders and back with moderate force.
Lu Cheng's technique cannot be said to be professional, but he controls the strength very well, which does not make Qin An Ning feel painful and makes her feel comfortable.
As the massage progressed, Qin Anning's muscles gradually relaxed, his breathing became more and more steady, and he fell asleep unknowingly.
Lu Cheng didn't stop until he had helped her relax her shoulders, calves and soles of her feet.
Looking at his wife's peaceful sleeping face, he smiled gently, feeling extremely satisfied.
After washing his hands and returning to the bed, Lu Cheng carefully lifted the thin quilt and slowly lay down on the bed, fearing that any big movements would disturb Qin An Ning's rest.
The couple slept until two in the afternoon, and Qin Anning was woken up by hunger.
Seeing that Lu Cheng was still sleeping, she gently lifted the quilt and wanted to find something to eat.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, a pair of big hands grabbed his waist.
"Where are you going?" Lu Cheng's voice was still lazy and hoarse from just waking up, sexy and seductive.
Qin Anning was brought back to the bed by him and fell into Lu Cheng's arms. She snuggled up to him and traced his Adam's apple with her fingers. "I'm hungry. I want to eat something."
Lu Cheng grabbed Qin An Ning's rebellious fingers and brought them to his lips, kissing them. He said meaningfully, "If you keep making trouble, I'll eat you first."
Qin An Ning couldn't help but let out a crisp and pleasant laugh, "Then I might be the first person to starve to death in bed. Would you be willing to let me do that?"
She blinked her big watery eyes, revealing a hint of mischief and cunning.
Lu Chengyun tried his luck and fought against his younger brother.
"I can't bear to leave! So hurry up and get up and eat."
What can you do with your own wife? Just spoil her!
There was food in the space, so they didn't have to cook it. Although they felt hungry after being tired, they had no appetite.
Qin An Ning ate some preserved egg and lean meat porridge and cold cucumber salad to fill her stomach and didn't want to eat anymore.
"Why are you eating so little?" Lu Cheng frowned and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Anning shook his head, "No, I just don't have much appetite."
"Then I'll wash some fruit for you. What do you want to eat?"
Qin Anning thought for a moment and said, "Peach."
The peaches in the space are big, red, sweet and juicy, and much more delicious than those sold outside.
Qin Anning ate peaches without eating the skin, so Lu Cheng peeled the peaches and cut them into small pieces, then served them to her with a fruit fork.
“Thank you, husband!”
Qin An Ning held the fruit plate, her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes because of happiness, and her smile was as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring.
Lu Cheng's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "If you really want to thank me, come a few more times tonight."
Qin An Ning paused for a moment while holding the peaches, and glared at Lu Cheng coquettishly, "You are so unruly. Go pick some more peaches and apples, and we will take them back later.
Just say you brought it back from Beijing and let your parents and grandparents try it."
"Yes, sir!"
When the two arrived at the village entrance, it was already past four in the afternoon.
At this time, the wheat has been harvested, but the autumn harvest has not yet begun. It is not particularly busy, and some people do not have to go to work, so there are more people in the village.
As the car drove by, a thin, hunched figure looked familiar, but Qin An Ning didn't recognize him. "Who is that person?"
Lu Cheng looked in the direction Qin An Ning pointed. Although the man had become thinner and older, he recognized him at a glance.
"The original Accountant Wang."
"Is it him?!"
Yes, Accountant Wang was sentenced to one year of re-education through labor, and it’s time to release him.
"Hey, that's not right. Weren't Wang Fang and Li Haiyan sentenced to six months? Why haven't they returned yet?"
If Qin An Ning hadn't met Accountant Wang today, she would have forgotten about those two people.
"Dad already filed a report. Our brigade won't accept them. So I don't know if they were assigned to another brigade or somewhere else after they were released."
So that’s how it is!
Qin Anning sighed, "Time flies so fast. I've been here for more than a year."
Before she had much time to savor it, the car had already arrived at Lu's house.
Wang Qiufen was both happy and surprised to see them. "Why are you two back? Are you done with your work in Beijing?"
"No, I have some things to do when I come back." Lu Cheng got out of the car and took out a basket of peaches and apples, as well as pork and fish from the back seat. He said as he walked, "Where's my dad?"
