Not long after Huo Tingzhou left, his third uncle and Zhongshu returned on bicycles.
It turned out that the two of them had nothing to do after waking up in the afternoon, so they decided to go to a nearby town to take a look around and familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.
In the end, they not only brought back a bunch of beachcombing supplies in large and small bags, but also ordered a small fishing boat in town.
Jiang Si sighed upon hearing this, it seemed that her third uncle had made up his mind to move out.
However, she didn't try to persuade them; she let them be happy.
The group sat and chatted for a while, and around nine o'clock, Huo Tingzhou returned.
Seeing the whole family waiting for him, Huo Tingzhou felt quite bad, and he also blamed himself for not explaining things clearly when he left.
"Honey, next time I go to the regiment on business, don't wait for me."
Jiang Si couldn't play the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother either. She said frankly, "It's mainly because I slept a bit too much this afternoon, otherwise I would have been sleepy by now."
Seeing that he still wanted to say something, Jiang Si pushed him into the kitchen.
"The oysters are all cleaned, just waiting for you to come back and show us your skills."
There was no one in the kitchen at the moment, so Huo Tingzhou couldn't resist. He pulled her over with one hand and leaned down to kiss her on the cheek.

Jiang Si glanced nervously in the direction of the living room, thankfully her third uncle and the others didn't look over.
The next second, he warned, "From now on, you're not allowed to touch me while I'm cooking."
Huo Tingzhou also wanted to, but sometimes he just couldn't help it.
Ten minutes later, all the food was served.
Huo Tingzhou divided the oyster meat into four portions: one portion was blanched, and the other portion was steamed with garlic.
Another dish was made into a stir-fry with chives, and the last dish was made into a seafood pancake with eggs and flour.
Jiang Si had originally planned to eat something light for dinner, but with the cold dishes and pickles from before, the table was soon filled with food.
Unsurprisingly, everyone ate until they were stuffed that night.
...
Whether it was the beautiful moonlight tonight or the long period of abstinence, the moment the two lay down on the bed and their eyes met, everything was understood without words.
The next second, Jiang Si tilted her head back slightly, and Huo Tingzhou naturally lowered his head.
Their lips touched lightly, and both of them paused in their breathing.
A moment later, a large, bony hand emerged from under the covers and opened the bedside drawer.
Just as the drawer made a slight rustling sound, Jiang Si reached out and pressed down on his wrist.
Huo Tingzhou paused, turned to look at her, "Si Si?"
Jiang Si didn't say anything, but subconsciously hugged him tighter.
