With Lin Wanxun's comfort, Dong Qiuyan's emotions gradually calmed down.

After checking Douhua's wound and finding that it was indeed nothing serious, she felt relieved.

But when she thought about how Douhua had just been bullied, Dong Qiuyan became furious.

"Mom, don't be angry. Zhuangzhuang has already apologized to me just now."

Although Douhua was still a little sad, she was very sensible and didn't want to cause trouble for her mother, so she told her about Zhuangzhuang and Du Fuling's apology just now.

Hearing this, Dong Qiuyan was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhuangzhuang was actually Du Fuling's child.

Even though they both apologized, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

I don't know whether he was angry at Zhuangzhuang for humiliating the young lady or angry at himself for being useless.

Qiuyan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

After a pause, he asked Douhua, "Do you still want to go to worship?"

No matter how sensible Douhua was, she was still a child. When she was told about Bai, she suddenly became energetic with tears in her eyes.

“Yes!”

Even though he was pushed and scolded, this was the happiest time Douhua had ever had.

Hearing this, Qiuyan gave the girl a few more instructions before letting her go.

Douhua left, and Qiuyan was about to go back too.

After all, other children also come to visit her house.

She had learned about the local customs before and had bought some melon seeds and peanuts early. She fried them yesterday at noon and was just waiting to give them to the children today.

She just heard that Douhua was pushed back, so she hurried over to take a look.

But before she could say goodbye, she heard Lin Wanchun ask with concern: "Did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look so bad?"

Qiuyan didn't just not sleep well last night. She barely slept at all.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the shame and embarrassment I felt the moment the door was pushed open flashed through my mind.

It was only after last night that she realized how scared she was of that night together.

Afraid that something like that would happen between them again.

But Qiuyan knew very well in her heart that if others heard this, they would definitely laugh at her and say that she was mentally ill.

After all, isn't that what happens between men and women?

What's more, she was the one who offered it to me, so what right does she have to complain?

It was just that Qiuyan had no intention of telling anyone about her and Lu Jingsong.

After all, this is a private matter between husband and wife.

Thinking of this, she forced a smile at the corners of her lips and shook her head at Lin Wanxun.

"It's okay, maybe the firecrackers were too loud last night."

This is the custom of Chinese New Year's Eve. Every household will set off firecrackers after midnight.

But some people release it early, and some people release it late.

Anyway, you can't expect peace and quiet from 11pm to 1am.

Lin Wanxun also had trouble sleeping last night because of the noise, and she finally fell asleep in a daze.

But she didn't look as tired as 뀘 Qiuyan.

Qiuyan looked like she hadn't slept much the entire night.

However, she refused to say anything, so Lin Wanchun did not dare to continue asking.

"If you need any help, just tell me."

Qiuyan felt grateful and guilty for her concern.

I always bother her but I have no ability to repay her.

Thinking of this, 뀘 Qiuyan became more eager to learn more words and identify more medicines.

"I will, thank you, Wanchun."

Today is the first day of the new year, and there is no need to work. Qiuyan plans to stay at home reading and learning to read after giving out red envelopes and snacks.

Thinking of this, she didn't stay any longer and said goodbye and went back.

There were children visiting everywhere along the way, and the whole family compound was filled with joy.

Surrounded by such a lively atmosphere, Qiuyan's mood gradually improved.

Lu Jingsong didn't come home last night, so Qiuyan set off firecrackers by herself after midnight.

He was still not seen in the morning, and she was still the one setting off the firecrackers.

Qiuyan was actually relieved that he didn't come back.

Walk all the way back home.

Before I even went in, I could hear the voices of children congratulating the new baby from far away.

"Uncle Lu, happy new year, everything goes well, good luck, and congratulations on making a fortune!"

뀘Qiuyan: ...

I didn't expect him to come back suddenly. Qiuyan paused and stood in the yard, not knowing whether to go in or not.

While she was hesitating, the children who had worshipped came out happily again.

When they saw her, they all shouted loudly: "Happy new year, auntie! Congratulations on your prosperity!"

The children were so noisy that she couldn't pretend she hadn't come back.

In the end, Qiuyan could only smile and respond to the children one by one.

She had just put the red envelopes under the basket. Lu Jingsong should have distributed them already, so she didn't need to distribute them again.

After all, no one is rich, and it makes no sense for one family to give out two red envelopes.

The children also knew this, so after congratulating each other, they would jump and run away, ready to send their blessings to the next house.

Suddenly there was only a strange couple left in the huge yard, and the atmosphere was incredibly weird.

Lu Jingsong looked a little embarrassed.

He was used to staying in the military camp, which was full of men who were usually carefree. It was difficult for him to change his habit of pushing the door open directly.

What happened last night was also a big shock to him.

Lu Jingsong felt like he didn't know how to face her.

Qiuyan didn't want to see him even more.

But she knew in her heart that this was simply unrealistic, after all, they were still husband and wife in name only.

Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and went straight back to her room without even bothering to say hello to him.

She ignored him, so Lu Jingsong should have breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart.

After returning to the house, Dong Qiuyan quickly put Lu Jingsong behind her.

She was concentrating on reading the storybook Lin Wanchun gave her.

When you come across a word you don’t understand, look it up in the dictionary and practice the new word repeatedly.

Soon, she was immersed in the world of books.

Although the stories in the book that Lin Wanchun gave her were very short, there was a philosophy of life hidden behind each short story.

After reading each story, Qiuyan always learns something.

In the following days, she was obsessed with it. Apart from working, she spent most of her time locked in the room, either writing, memorizing, or identifying the names of the new medicines that Lin Wanxun taught her.

Qiuyan not only studied by herself, but also brought her daughter to study with her.

Although Douhua is very small, she has already remembered the words to study hard.

When her mother asked her to write, she did it obediently.

Her mother told her stories and she listened with great interest.

As a result, 뀘 Qiuyan was so busy that she had almost no time to pay attention to Lu Jingsong.

Lu Jingsong was also very busy. Although the couple lived under the same roof, they hardly ever saw each other.

When Lin Wanchun had one day off for the Spring Festival, Qin Hua said he wanted to go back.

Knowing that it would be time to plant and raise rice seedlings in the spring, Lin Wanshun did not keep anyone.

I collected some local specialties for him to take back.

Seeing that her little granddaughter had no one to take care of her and that other military wives had to take care of her every day, Sun Xifeng felt so distressed that she decided to stay.

Besides, my daughter-in-law’s belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I’ll have to take care of her during the confinement period after she gives birth.

Sun Xifeng meant well, but Qin Yan was not very happy.

Because his mother had no intention of returning his wife to him!

Not only that, she was also guarding against him as if he were a thief.

It would have been fine if she just took precautions, she even warned him slightly in private.

"Mom is doing this for your own good. Your wife is pregnant and I'm afraid you've hurt her badly."

Lin Wanchun, who happened to pass by and heard it, almost laughed out loud.

Qin Yan: ...
