"Then these days, when I have some free time, I'll go and turn over the soil." Hearing that his wife was going to start planting vegetables, he thought back to last year when she came over. The two of them planted the vegetables together; he was in charge of planting, and she was in charge of watering. This time, he was away. Could she manage on her own?
Oh well, let's leave it at that for now. If it grows successfully, great; if not, it'll just be a way for her to pass the time. After all, he'll be away for about half a month, and we don't even know if he'll be back on time.
"Why are you turning over the soil? I can do it myself. You work so hard every day, how can I expect you to do everything? Don't worry, I can still use this little hoe."
She genuinely believed she could do it. Although she had never actually worked in the fields since childhood, she wasn't completely incapable of it. At home, she often helped her mother and others plant vegetables in their family's private plot. Of course, she mainly watched, chatted with her mother, and occasionally helped out by leaving some vegetable seeds behind.
However, she felt that she had learned it, really.
Looking at his wife's confident little expression, he thought it was really cute. "Well, I know you can do it, but you've never done this kind of work before. If you suddenly do it, your arms will definitely not be able to take it. So, I'll go and turn it over first. You'll be busy with planting and watering. I don't want you to be too tired."
“Hehe (●'?'●)” Ruan Ruan was very happy to hear Huo Haocheng say that. “Okay, then you can flip through a little bit first, and I’ll do the rest.”
"Okay, from now on, our family's meals will all depend on my wife. Now, I'll use this piece of meat to thank my wife for her hard work." As he spoke, he put a piece of meat in her bowl. Usually, she only liked to eat various vegetables stir-fried with meat, so he could only try different ways to get her to eat more meat.
Looking at the meat in the bowl, she didn't really want to eat it, but seeing Huo Haocheng's expectant gaze, Ruan Ruan felt that it would be disrespectful not to eat it! After thinking for a moment and mentally preparing herself, she put a mound of rice on top of the meat and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that she had eaten, Huo Haocheng also started eating, without putting any more meat on her plate. Over time, he had figured out his wife's pattern of eating meat.
The meat in the house is basically prepared for him. She herself only eats five slices a day, and she really can't eat any more than that. It's the same with chicken. Whether it's stewed in soup or braised, she only eats two pieces and doesn't eat the skin. No matter what kind of animal the skin is, as long as it can be peeled off, like chicken skin, duck skin, or fish skin, she won't eat it.
This was the first time he'd ever seen anyone eat meat like this before. But it was alright, he ate the parts she didn't want.
After dinner, the two of them took their books and studied on the sofa for a while before going into the bedroom.
"Wife, did you rest well today?" He lay in bed and held her in his arms.
"It was great. I slept until noon, and then took a nap in the yard in the afternoon." She didn't understand why she was suddenly being asked if she had slept well, but she answered truthfully anyway.
"It's good that you've rested well. My wife isn't sleepy now either, let's exercise a bit." He said intimately in her ear, and before she could react, he rolled over and pressed himself against her, his lips meeting hers.
"...Um...."
".....elder brother"
"Wife, it's been so long since we've done it!"
"Wife, open your mouth."
.........................
Amidst the enchanting, ambiguous sounds, the moon shyly hid behind the clouds.
Ruan Ruan was woken up by Huo Haocheng's kiss in the morning.
Seeing that she was awake, he patiently dressed her, carried her to wash up, and carried her to eat breakfast. Even after they got into the car, Ruan Ruan felt that only her body was awake, while her soul was still asleep.
Then, when they arrived outside the government building and saw the scene outside, she truly came to her senses.
"You're awake now. Come on, sweetie, have some water first." Ever since Ruan Ruan was thirsty in front of him last time and had no water to drink, he would bring the water bottle wherever he went and would feed her water from time to time. Sometimes, she didn't feel thirsty, but Huo Haocheng felt that it was time for her to drink water and would feed her a sip.
After taking a big gulp of water from the bottle, feeling that she was almost done, she handed the bottle to him, closed it, and then the two went to the gatekeeper's office to register before heading to Mayor Guo's office.
They arrived at exactly 9:30, just as Mayor Guo and his team finished their morning meeting and were returning to their office.
When they went upstairs, they saw the door was open, so Ruan Ruan knocked on the door and asked, "Uncle Guo, are you busy right now?"
Hearing someone call his name, Mayor Guo put down his water cup, turned around, and saw Ruan Ruan and her husband standing outside the door. "Girl, you're here. Come in quickly. This must be your husband, Commander Huo, right?"
He had heard Commander Gu praise Ruan Ruan's lover more than once before, saying that she was a promising young man and that she and Ruan Ruan looked like a perfect match.
"Mayor Guo, hello, I am Ruan Ruan's husband, Huo Haocheng. You can just call me Haocheng." When Mayor Guo asked about him, Huo Haocheng immediately stepped forward and introduced himself.
This wasn't the first time he'd met Mayor Guo. In previous years, he'd followed or watched him from a distance while on missions. But this was the first time he'd formally introduced himself to him.
"Good lad, not bad. Just as your Commander Gu said, you are a rare talent. Keep up the good work." After praising Huo Haocheng, Mayor Guo turned to look at the young girl beside him.
"I heard you had another big accident this time? How are you feeling?" These past two days, the most talked-about topic on the streets has been Dr. Ruan's medical skills.
