She looked at the fire that had started to burn, but Shen Jichuan stared at her and said, “Wen Qiao, I’m sorry to have to suffer with me in this cold and harsh place.”
He had promised her that he would give her a good life.
I never expected that Wen Qiao would have to suffer here.
She was pregnant and had a big belly, yet she had to do things like starting a fire and cooking.
Wen Qiao said, "I come from a rural background, so I'm not afraid of these things."
"Do you have any rice? We can make some rice porridge."
“Shen Jichuan, don’t always think of me as someone who needs too much care. I can not only take care of myself now, but I can also take care of you.”
As she spoke, Wen Qiao stood up, brushed the dust off her hands, and lifted the pot lid to look inside.
Three spoonfuls of water, that's all.
Wen Qiao glanced around the kitchen and saw some potatoes. She washed the potatoes with some hot water and boiled a few in a pot.
The eggs that Sister Li next door bought for her hadn't been opened yet, so Wen Qiao opened the mesh bag and took out four from it.
Let's just have something simple for breakfast.
After all this trouble, everyone else must have already eaten. Don't let breakfast delay Shen Jichuan's work.
Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan's first breakfast in Northwest China consisted of potatoes, eggs, and a dish of canned fish as a side dish.
Just as they were getting ready for breakfast, Li Qin arrived again, this time carrying a plate of three large steamed buns.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen, please take this. I just steamed some dried vegetable buns for your family."
"Are your family members feeling better? Winter comes early in Northwest China, and it's really cold, but they'll get used to it after living here for a while."
"If anything happens, just come find me. I'm at home anyway, I have nothing to do."
Shen Jichuan said politely, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Look at you city folks, so polite."
Li Qin turned and walked away, her steps quick and deliberate.
Shen Jichuan felt that the people here were quite nice, simple and pure.
Wen Qiao had just finished dressing and came out when she only saw Li Qin's departing figure.
"That's incredibly fast! I rushed as fast as I could but still didn't manage to say a word to Sister Li."
Shen Jichuan laughed and said, "It's just her personality. Sister-in-law Li is the kind of person who's always on the go."
"Let's go inside and have some steamed buns."
Wen Qiao stayed indoors for three days, but it was still better to see the sunshine outside. The snow in the house had been shoveled clean by the young soldiers of the military region. However, it was still a dirt road. The snow melted into the soil and became wet when the sun came out. When the sun went down, the ground froze, and it was easy to slip if you were not careful.
Especially since Wen Qiao is pregnant.
Shen Jichuan was naturally extremely worried.
After familiarizing himself with the work here, Shen Jichuan immediately took Wen Qiao to the hospital.
Wen Qiao lay on the small bed in the examination room as the doctor carefully performed an ultrasound on her.
He frowned, as if something was unclear.
Shen Jichuan used his privilege to follow them into the examination room. He looked at Wen Qiao and observed the doctor's expression.
"Doctor, is my wife alright?"
