Chapter 41 The Troublemaker of the 80s 11 He really did it! ...
In this way, Shen Qian stayed at her mother's house for more than half a month, and then followed Shen Jianguo back to Rongcheng.
Shen Jianguo had a childhood friend who lived in the provincial capital and whose family also had a place to stay. When he arrived, he went straight to see his childhood friend.
However, he was also thinking about his sister's upcoming move, so he made an appointment with Chen Qian to come and help when the move happened.
Chen Qian came back with her daughter, and the house returned to its former liveliness. Zhou Shengmo's originally expressionless face now showed a hint of joy.
Chen Qian had just returned and was preparing to move. She had a lot of things to do. Occasionally, she would go to the bedroom and chat with Zhou Shengmo. Wherever she went, Zhou Shengmo's eyes would follow her.
She always felt that he was hesitant to speak, so she simply looked into Zhou Shengmo's eyes: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhou Shengmo's pale face turned redder: "Why... don't you cook pear soup for me today?"
Shen Qian was so angry at his words that she laughed: "I used to make it for you every day, but you didn't drink it, so Shi Wei and I drank it. Today, your daughter said she didn't want to drink pear soup, so I didn't want to drink it either, so I didn't make it."
I just came back and don’t have time to buy pears.
Zhou Shengmo was embarrassed by her retort. He saw her finish her words and was about to go out again. He didn't know how long it took for her to return to the bedroom.
He quickly said, "You can cook it and I'll drink it."
Shen Qian paused and looked at him suspiciously: "At this time, after drinking pear soup, you are worried about going to the toilet again."
Zhou Shengmo's face turned even redder. He still didn't like discussing his toileting habits with others, but he knew that his wife was worried about his health.
"I...I can try...using..."
He pointed under the bed.
Shen Qian understood what he meant. He was finally willing to compromise.
If it was before, Shen Qian might have asked him to try it immediately, but now that they were about to move, she thought that if Zhou Shengmo didn't want to accept something, she shouldn't force him.
"No need." Shen Qian said calmly.
Zhou Shengmo misunderstood that she had given up on him, and added hurriedly: "Really, I can try now. Don't..."
Don't go.
Don't leave me.
Don't give up on me.
How could he say it? When the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything further and his face turned red.
As his emotions got aroused, Zhou Shengmo couldn't help but cough violently.
Even though he was facing his wife who had given birth to two children for him, he was as shy as a fool and didn't even know how to communicate with her.
Seeing that he was anxious, Shen Qian hurried over to pat his back: "Don't worry, I mean, we're going to move soon, and after we move, you won't need to use the potty anymore. By then, there will be new things you need to adapt to and learn. If you have this heart, then wait until after the move and work hard."
Zhou Shengmo didn't know what the new house would look like after it was renovated. He thought of the decoration renderings and nodded, but he was still not completely reassured: "After we move, will you still make pear soup for me?"
Chen Qian couldn't help but laugh: "You're just thinking about the pear soup, right? Okay, I'll make it for you after we move. If you don't finish it, just wait for me to give you a massage and make you scream."
Zhou Shengmo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "You can squeeze me till I scream today."
"Not tonight. I'm tired just getting back. Let's do it tomorrow."
"Um."
Zhou Shengmo felt that he was fine again. His wife came back and was still willing to pay attention to him, make pear soup for him, and give him massages.
That night, after Zhou Shengmo waited for Shen Qian to fall asleep, he couldn't help but move himself closer to her. It was really nice to have his wife lying next to him...
After Shen Qian came back from her mother's house, she felt that Zhou Shengmo seemed a little different from before.
She couldn't tell exactly what was different.
The decoration of the new house has been completed during this period, and it is not time to move yet. Shen Qian usually has nothing to do except going to Xiang Ying's store, and stays at home most of the time.
After their daughter went to kindergarten, the couple had more time to spend alone together.
Shen Qian knew that Zhou Shengmo liked to be quiet and didn't talk much, so she got a lot of second-hand books and kept them at home.
There aren't many entertainment options these days, but reading is a good way to go.
When Chen Qian didn't go out, he would sit in the bedroom and read. Zhou Shengmo held the book in his hand, and as he read, he put it down unconsciously.
There was a burning gaze lingering around, and Shen Qian could have pretended it didn't exist, but after accidentally glancing at it, Shen Qian couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you looking at me?"
"You looked at me too." Zhou Shengmo said confidently.
Shen Qian: "...if you have something to say, just say it."
"Nothing, just..." He retracted his gaze, but faintly uttered two words: "Beautiful."
Shen Qian: “…”
She stood up, stretched her muscles, especially her tired neck, and then turned to look at Zhou Shengmo.
Zhou Shengmo felt a little scared when she looked at him like that. He was the one looking at her just now, but now he felt like a prey being targeted by some wild beast when she stared at him.
After Shen Qian relaxed his muscles, he said, "Since you're not reading, I'll just practice. Lie down."
Zhou Shengmo grabbed the quilt and asked in a low voice: "What...are you going to do?"
"I pinched you until you screamed."
Zhou Shengmo: “…”
…
Another half month passed, and after the new house was fully ventilated and the odor had dissipated, Chen Qian and Zhou Shengmo officially moved into the welfare housing.
On the day of moving, the three siblings of the Zhou family, the eldest sister-in-law Xiang Ying, and Shen Qian's eldest brother Shen Jianguo all came. Zhou's parents Zhou Tingyue and Li Suzhen also came with their little grandson Zhou Shian.
They didn't have many original things, and a lot of the furniture was custom-made. The two houses were not far apart, and the new house was on the first floor, so they moved in quickly.
Zhou Shengwu pushed a wheelchair and took his third brother from the family building to the door of his new home.
At this time, a group of people were blocking the door and standing behind Zhou Shengmo's wheelchair.
Today, the third family finally moved into a new house. Li Suzhen led her grandson to stand at the door and peek in. She was a little curious about where the money went and how it would cost so much to decorate a new house.
Zhou Shengwu really wanted his third brother to see the new house quickly, and couldn't help but say, "Third brother, can I push you in?"
Zhou Shengmo refused, which was rare: "No, I'll try it myself."
He had been bedridden for so long, and the only two times he went out were when his eldest brother carried him. He was initially reluctant to appear in front of everyone in a wheelchair, but he was also moved by Shen Qian's busy schedule during this period.
He had only seen the decoration drawings of the new house, and this was his first time here after the decoration was completed.
He also wanted to know what surprises his wife had prepared for him.
He exerted force with his arms and pushed the wheelchair into the door.
There is a small courtyard at the entrance. Zhou Shengmo noticed that there was a very gentle slope from the gate to the inside, and it was not difficult to push a wheelchair in.
Shen Qian had asked him to exercise his upper limb strength before so that he could push the wheelchair around the house smoothly. Now Shen Qian also saw that Zhou Shengmo should not have been lazy in his exercise during this period.
The floor of the room was very flat and the wheelchair moved very smoothly on it. Everyone followed him into the room.
Zhou Shengmo keenly discovered that the heights of all the furniture in the room were at a height that he could use easily.
Many pieces of furniture had hollowed-out bottoms, so he could easily push his wheelchair closer.
Zhou Shengmo is curious about everything. After lying in bed for several months, it still feels novel for him to be able to move freely at home.
He pushed his wheelchair closer to the cabinet next to the dining table, and he noticed another detail: the bottom of the cabinet was hollowed out so that he could push his wheelchair closer, and the height of the items on the cabinet was such that he could easily reach them while sitting in a wheelchair.
Shen Qian...really did a lot for him.
It’s a pity that he still can’t do everything by himself in this family. For example, he needs help from others to get in and out of bed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shengmo, who had just felt a little happy, couldn't help feeling sad again.
Zhou Shengwu had participated in many furniture renovations. When he saw his third brother pushing his wheelchair close to the sofa, he reminded him, "The height of the sofa is also customized for you. Do you want to try to transfer from the wheelchair to the sofa by yourself?"
Zhou Shengmo looked at his elder brother and thought how could this be possible?
Li Suzhen also looked at her eldest son with a puzzled look, and then looked at Zhou Shengmo who was a little hesitant, feeling reluctant.
She spoke up to help Zhou Shengmo: "Forget it, forget it. It's already great that I can push my wheelchair around the room by myself."
She didn't want to see the third child forcing himself in front of everyone. It would be bad if he accidentally fell.
Zhou Shengmo stared at the sofa, as if thinking about how to move over.
Shen Qian also walked over and stood beside him: "Zhou Shengmo, my brother and I have tried it many times, it is completely feasible, but you have to try it yourself."
Zhou Shengmo's eyes moved slightly. Chen Qian... actually tried it while sitting in a wheelchair?
In fact, he had been a little curious before, why the wheelchair was kept in the new house that was being renovated after it was bought, instead of being taken back to the family building for him to use first.
It wasn't until today that he realized that the wheelchair was placed in the new home so that they could continue to discover problems while renovating. He didn't expect that they had already tried it many times while sitting in the wheelchair.
Zhou Shian, who had been held by his grandmother's hand, couldn't help but come over.
Since he was a child, he thought his father looked so handsome in military uniform, had such long legs and was so tall, and he wanted to be like his father when he grew up.
But suddenly one day, he was told that his father was paralyzed and would never be able to stand up again. He was very sad, so sad that he didn't want to be close to his father. As long as he didn't see him, he could still pretend that his father was still the tall and mighty father, instead of the dying, emaciated patient lying on the hospital bed.
At this moment, Zhou Shian put all his worries aside. He was also very curious about whether the wheelchair his father sat in could replace his legs, whether he could stop lying in bed all the time, and whether he could move from the wheelchair to the sofa.
It was as if, if only he could do it, he would be the same as before in his mind.
His son's concerned gaze and everyone's held-breath anticipation made Zhou Shengmo feel a little nervous.
He had been a soldier for many years and completed many dangerous missions. He had never been afraid of anything. The funny thing was that when facing the distance between the wheelchair and the sofa, he was actually a little timid.
Chen Qian whispered to him, "Look, after the wheelchair stops, you can pay attention to the angle of the wheels and adjust the angle to a convenient angle for you to exert force. Then remember to press the brake so that the wheels of the wheelchair will not move when you move. This is not dangerous. Then use your arms to support yourself and try to move your center of gravity over."
With Shen Qian's guidance, Zhou Shengmo tried to do as he was told. He knew that even if he fell, it would be okay as there were so many people protecting him. He followed Shen Qian's instructions, used his arms to support himself, and then successfully moved his buttocks to the sofa.
The moment Zhou Shengmo sat down on the sofa, he was stunned.
In the past, he could complete various tasks at the risk of his life, but after being injured, the loss of feeling in his legs made him feel like a useless person.
He was completely immersed in a mood of negativity and despair. He felt that he could no longer do anything, could not control his own body, let alone his own life. He lay in bed and let himself rot and weaken bit by bit.
Until this moment, the fixed thinking in Zhou Shengmo's brain was instantly shattered.
He had a feeling that he might still be able to do a lot.
It was as if he was suddenly freed from a cage...
It was a moment of rebirth.
No one knew how shocked Zhou Shengmo was at this moment.
Zhou Shian and Zhou Shiwei were so nervous that they held their breath. When they saw their father finally sit down on the sofa, they rushed over happily and threw themselves on him.
"Ahhh, Daddy, you're so awesome!"
"Dad, you really did it!"
Zhou Shengmo hugged his two children, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.
The two children were so happy because he could move smoothly from the wheelchair to the sofa.
Shen Qian also smiled and praised beside him: "It's great."
For some reason, his wife's compliment instantly boosted his spirits: "I... want to try it again."
Zhou Shengmo immediately moved his legs, adjusted the angle, and then shifted his center of gravity, and successfully moved from the sofa to the wheelchair.
He had found the trick the second time, and he did it more smoothly. In fact, as long as the wheelchair is fixed and he finds the right angle and props up his upper body, it is not difficult to move a short distance.
Zhou Shengwu couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat when he saw this scene, and he started to cry a little: "Third brother, you have to thank your wife. Your sister-in-law has been so worried about you. The height of this sofa, the height of the toilet inside, and even the height of your bedroom bed were all carefully designed by her. It's amazing that she can think so carefully for you."
Zhou Shengmo looked at Chen Qian, unknown emotions surging in his dark eyes.
