Someone at home needs to renovate the bathroom, but Shen Jichuan has to go to work, so it's not good that no one is staying at home.
Wen Qiao was home alone, and Shen Jichuan was worried about her.
Since Wang Gang's wife next door had nothing to do at home, Shen Jichuan invited Li Qin's sister-in-law to come over for a visit.
Li Qin loves visiting other people's homes.
In the past, she wouldn't have liked chatting with young girls like Wen Qiao; they just couldn't find common ground if they had nothing to say to each other.
But after spending the last few days getting to know Wen Qiao, she found that the girl was really nice.
My father is gone, and my mother isn't around anymore.
Now that she's pregnant again, and there's no one to take care of her, Li Qin thought of her daughter, Daya.
Her eldest daughter is actually a year older than Wen Qiao, and is twenty years old this year.
The person I married last May Day was a teacher at the county's No. 1 Middle School; it was a so-called free-choice marriage.
Li Qin naturally wanted to find a military officer like Wen Qiao for her daughter.
That's definitely not as good as Deputy Division Commander Shen.
But marrying a company commander or deputy battalion commander, relying on Wang Gang's status, is still possible.
But the daughter didn't like soldiers; she found them rude, so she married a scholar.
After getting married, my daughter went to live in the county, which is quite far from the military compound.
Li Qin also has to take care of her two younger children at home, so she can't leave to go to the county.
She now sees Wen Qiao as if she were her own daughter, and naturally she is willing to help take care of her.
After Li Qin arrived, Wen Qiao specially served her a cup of chrysanthemum tea.
"Why are you being so formal with me? Do you expect me to come to your house for tea?"
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "The room is heated by a kang (heated brick bed), so it's dry and hot. Let's drink some chrysanthemum tea to cool down."
Actually, Shen Jichuan brought this chrysanthemum tea for himself to drink.
He said it was because sleeping on a heated brick bed made the room dry and prone to causing internal heat.
He never knew that he wasn't supposed to be frigid at all, but rather that he had never experienced the pleasures of sleeping with a wife.
But not long after he married Wen Qiao, she became pregnant.
This was incredibly agonizing for a man who had only recently started having sex and was still quite addicted.
But Shen Jichuan felt that he was a mature man and naturally couldn't act like a young man who was easily impulsive.
If it weren't for his age preventing him from being so impulsive.
In reality, Shen Jichuan prefers to act impulsively, rather than trying to appear calm and composed in front of Wen Qiao.
He tried to cool down by taking cold showers in the dead of winter, but it didn't work at all. He could only drink more chrysanthemum tea.
Seeing him drink, Wen Qiao, who was also feeling a bit feverish, drank some as well.
Only then did I notice Li Qin arrive, and I made her a cup of tea.
Li Qin said Wen Qiao was being polite, but she couldn't help but drink it and even refilled her own cup.
But Li Qin wasn't idle either. After exchanging a few words with Wen Qiao, she went to help Squad Leader Sun.
They either bring some hot water or go over to ask what to do...
"Won't it stink if you put a toilet inside the house? My toilet is awful in the summer, it's unbearable to smell."
Wen Qiao explained, "It has a flush function; just rinse it with water after use, and it's clean."
If Wen Qiao had never lived in the city, she wouldn't have known that there was such a big difference between city toilets and rural toilets. She didn't mind Li Qin's question.
I was telling her about the bathroom renovation.
When Squad Leader Sun heard Li Qin ask about money, he stopped what he was doing.
Looking at Li Qin, he said, "The deputy division commander paid for all the renovations to his bathroom out of his own pocket. He also had a septic tank and drainage pipes installed. The materials were all provided by someone he found."
Li Qin listened and glanced at Wen Qiao.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen knows so much. Xiao Qiao, is it possible that he did all this for you?"
