After washing the clothes in the two basins, He Yanzhi's face turned bright red.
When he came out of the bathroom carrying a basin, Guan Wanxin raised her eyebrows in surprise at his appearance.
Just as she was about to ask a question, Guan Wenru, who was sitting next to her, suddenly grabbed her wrist and shook her head at her.
He gestured for her not to ask!
They were all smart people. Guan Wanxin followed Guan Wenru's gaze, looked at the basin in He Yanzhi's hand, and understood after a moment's thought.
A smile involuntarily appeared on her lips as she looked up to admire He Yanzhi's flushed face.
Even his neck was red!
She seems genuinely shy.
He Yanzhi carried the clothes into the small house.
No one lives in this house; it's usually just used to dry clothes.
Now that it's the dead of winter, we can't hang our clothes outside, so we have to hang them inside this little house.
After helping Guan Wenru hang up the clothes, he stood at the door and took a few deep breaths until he looked a bit more normal before going out.
As he put down the basin, he said, "Grandma, Wenru, I'm going to the camp first. If you need to find me in any emergency, just call the camp office. I'll be back later, so you can go to sleep first and don't wait for me."
He was shy and didn't dare to look them in the eye when he spoke.
Guan Wanxin found it amusing and quickly waved her hand, "Go ahead, be careful during night training."
"good."
He Yanzhi's gaze remained evasive throughout, and he didn't look at Guan Wenru even once until he left.
Once his figure disappeared from the house, Guan Wenru burst out laughing, "Grandma, did you see that? His face is as red as Guan Yu's."
Guan Wanxin looked at her with a mixture of doting and helplessness, and tapped her forehead, "You, you, you're always causing trouble. You know he's shy, yet you still made him wash your underwear! For the next few days, he probably won't dare to look you in the eye."
"Grandma, you're wronging me! I was trying to wash my own clothes today, who knew this accident would happen? I only realized later that my underwear was soaking in that basin, but by then he had already started washing it for me. If I had said anything, it would have only made things more awkward."
So let's just pretend we didn't notice, and not mention it. Let bygones be bygones; the awkwardness will only last a short while anyway.
Guan Wanxin smiled.
That makes sense when you think about it.
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a series of loud crashing and smashing sounds suddenly came from the next room.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mei's hysterical roar rang out, "Han Haoxian, if you dare to leave like this, I'll make you collect my corpse!"
Han Haoxian couldn't stand her temper any longer and yelled back, "Fine, if you want to die, no one can stop you! Zhao Mei, can't you stop now? I brought you here to accompany the army, not to cause trouble for me every day. You've seriously delayed my work, and I've already been given a major demerit. Are you still not satisfied? How long are you going to keep causing trouble?"
"I'm making a fuss?" Zhao Mei's eyes were filled with tears as she pounded her fist on Han Haoxian's chest. "You say I'm making a fuss? All I asked was for you to find a way to install the window glass. What did I do wrong? It's below zero outside, and it drops to over ten degrees Celsius at night. If you don't seal the windows, how am I supposed to sleep tonight?"
"Why can't you sleep? There's only one broken window. You can go into that room and sleep there, right? Close the door! Heat up the kang (heated brick bed)! Then you can sleep!"
Zhao Mei punched him again, "Then you should help me heat up the kang!"
Thinking of Han Haoxian's inaction, Zhao Mei gritted her teeth and subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to slap him. "I'm carrying your child now! And you're just washing your hands of it. Is that appropriate? When I'm bullied, you don't even dare to say a word. Now that I'm home, you don't cook. You just give me potatoes and cabbage every day. I can't live like this anymore!"
"Then let's not go!" Han Haoxian felt he had had enough.
He was tolerant in every way, and tried his best to satisfy Zhao Mei's every need.
But these past few days, Zhao Mei has gone really too far!
She not only wanted a bicycle, but also wanted to eat meat at every meal, saying that she needed to supplement her nutrition.
But she didn't even consider how much his monthly meat ration coupons were?
After winter sets in, the camp canteen can only serve meat two or three times a month.
Zhao Mei, however, wants to eat it every day!
Unless he cuts off a piece of his own flesh for her, where else would he steal it from?
Where can I grab one?
He had shamelessly asked many herders at the market before finally managing to buy some dried meat from them.
A few days ago, after Zhao Mei had meat and white rice to eat, she finally behaved herself for a few days.
But today!
She's started causing trouble again!
If she keeps making a scene like this, he might not only get a major demerit, but he might even be discharged from the army.
After Han Haoxian yelled, Zhao Mei stared at him incredulously, "What did you say? You can't argue with me anymore? Han Haoxian, what right do you have to argue with me? If you hadn't gotten me pregnant, would I have married you? And now you can't argue with me anymore?! Are you even human?"
Hearing her say such things again, Han Haoxian forcefully pulled her hand away, "Then just consider me not human!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left.
Zhao Mei screamed hysterically, "Han Haoxian! You bastard!"
She yelled and smashed everything she could in the room.
The crackling sound was extremely jarring.
Not only did the military dependents from Courtyard No. 1 gather around to watch the spectacle, but even the military dependents from the neighboring Courtyards No. 2 and No. 3 rushed over.
They all gathered at the door of Zhao Mei's house.
Seeing Zhao Mei like this, most military dependents couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Guiying, who had the sharpest tongue, immediately snorted, "Making a scene, making a scene all day long. Look at the mess she's made of the whole family compound!"
