Chapter 002 The Despised Lazy Wife
One morning, the sisters-in-law in the family compound were all curious about why Chen Yuan's lazy daughter-in-law was cleaning and washing clothes. It was like the sun rising from the west.
Fortunately, it was summer, so she took out all the quilts in the closet to dry them, almost taking up the entire clothesline in front of the house.
However, other people’s clotheslines have already been used to dry clothes. This thing is public, so there is no need to tell others.
She washed all the clothes with detergent and soap, and then hung them up. She was already tired and the clothes were all wet. This body consumed a lot of energy. It was almost eleven o'clock, she ate a steamed bun, and continued to work.
She washed all the tables, chairs and benches in the house, even the wardrobe. She was busy until after four in the afternoon.
Chen Yuan didn't come back at noon, so she ate some biscuits and buns on the table, mopped the floor clean, and even wiped the walls.
After cleaning the house, she started moving everything into the house when the sun went down.
Even though she was strong, her legs were still weak from exhaustion when she was moving things. She could only peel a candy and eat it before continuing to move.
Make the bed, put things back in their place, and fold all the clothes and put them in the closet.
After packing up her things, she found that there was no rice or vegetables in the house. She didn't know how the original owner lived. Did she eat in the cafeteria every day?
But she was indeed too fat, so she ate the meat buns at night to fill her stomach and then didn't eat anything else.
I boiled a pot of water on the stove, then brought a bucket of water and plugged it in to heat it up, ready to take a bath.
She turned back to hang the curtains.
Tomorrow, she has to go to the market to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil to cook at home.
When she was packing up, she found a lot of food coupons, meat coupons and money, not too much, just 193.27 yuan scattered around. There were seven food coupons worth five kilograms and eleven meat coupons worth one kilogram.
After she had packed up all these, she went into the bathroom with water to wash her hair and take a bath.
Chen Yuan returned home at this time. He was standing at the door with his lunch box. He pushed the door open and looked at the clean and tidy floor and the washed tables, chairs and benches inside. He almost subconsciously stepped back, took another look, and made sure it was his home before walking in.
He put the lunch box on the table and listened to the sound of water in the bathroom, his eyes darkening.
Suddenly, the scene of last night came to his mind, and an unknown heat rushed towards one place, making him, who was always self-restrained, feel dry in the mouth.
He sat on the chair and waited for about ten minutes before Su Wan came out.
She had a towel wrapped around her head and was wearing clean clothes. After taking a shower, her whole body was still filled with the scent of soap, which invisibly drifted into Chen Yuan's nose.
Su Wan also saw him and asked quietly, "Do you want to take a shower? Wait a moment, I'll dry your hair and then boil some water for you."
As she said this, she quickly went outside to dry her hair and went out with the bucket.
After a while, she came in with a bucket of water and quickly plugged in the heater.
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say, so she simply ran outside to wipe her hair to avoid embarrassment.
Chen Yuan's eyes grew darker, and he suddenly stood up, startling Su Wan who was about to enter.
“I’m… sorry…”
Facing the tall man in front of her, she stammered an apology.
He wouldn't be a domestic abuser, would he?
Some men look handsome and gentle, but they are capable of domestic violence. Su Wan doesn't want to meet such a man, especially since she is not familiar with Chen Yuan and the original owner doesn't have many memories of him. She is even more scared at this moment.
"Dinner is in the lunch box."
Chen Yuan glanced at the lunch box on the table and spoke in a light voice.
Family members can eat in the army cafeteria occasionally, but not every day. Because Chen Yuan went on a mission right after arriving at the army, Su Wan always ate in the cafeteria. His superiors naturally wouldn't say anything, but Chen Yuan himself was very embarrassed.
He planned to have a good chat with Su Wan.
Then, he heard Su Wan say in a soft voice, "I want to go to the market tomorrow to exchange my food coupons for some rice, and then buy some vegetable seeds to plant. I see my sisters-in-law are planting vegetables at the door, so we should have a vegetable garden, right?"
Chen Yuan looked at her in surprise, feeling that Su Wan seemed to have changed.
But thinking of her various behaviors, Chen Yuan didn't hold much hope for her. He pointed to an uncultivated vegetable patch in front of her and took out five one-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to her. "That's all the money I have left. I'll give it to you after I get paid."
"No, I still have money."
Among the money, there was the 200 yuan betrothal money that Chen Yuan gave to the original owner's parents. The original owner's parents were afraid that their daughter would suffer, so they added another 60 yuan to make up a total of 260 yuan for the original owner. Together with the 50 yuan that Chen Yuan gave her before he went on the mission, the 310 yuan was spent lavishly by the original owner as she ate in the cafeteria and spent it lavishly, leaving less than 200 yuan.
Su Wan decided to save money and not be extravagant in the future.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm off tomorrow, so I'll go with you then."
"good."
Su Wan nodded. "I just ate some cookies and can't eat anymore. Have you finished this lunch?"
Chen Yuan wanted to say that she was wasting food, but he held back.
After drying her hair, Su Wan climbed onto the bed.
She was very tired after a long day, and fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
When Chen Yuan came out of the bathroom, he saw this scene.
In the bathroom, he was still worried that Su Wan would ask him to sleep with her, because last night was too intense and his wound had reopened and had to be stitched again. He really didn't want to go through it again.
Fortunately, she was asleep and he didn't need to worry.
But for some reason, he couldn't fall asleep while tossing and turning beside her.
The next day, Su Wan got up very early.
She had never thought before that one day she would be able to get up after six o'clock.
Chen Yuan arrived earlier than her. When she woke up, he had already washed up.
After she washed up, Chen Yuan took her to the army's procurement vehicle to go to the county to buy things.
There weren't many people going to the procurement office that morning, so they sat in the back row of the cab. As soon as they got on, the soldier driving the car and the procurement officer next to him called out to them, "Hello, Battalion Commander, hello, sister-in-law."
"Good morning!"
Su Wan replied, and Chen Yuan asked, "Is there anyone else?"
"No more."
He said as he quickly started the engine and drove towards his destination.
Along the way, they were chatting casually. During the conversation, Su Wan learned that the driver was called Wang Bin and the purchasing agent was called Xu Weiguo, who was responsible for the purchase of the military camp.
When they arrived at the county, they got off the bus and agreed to meet there around ten o'clock, and then they left.
"What do you want to buy?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Just buy some cooking supplies. I don't have any pots and pans at home, so it's inconvenient to cook."
"Let's go."
Chen Yuan walked forward. A girl in a red skirt riding a bicycle suddenly stopped and waved at him. She smiled sweetly and said hello, "Brother Chen."
