He Dazhuang nodded and smiled gratefully: "I have to thank my sister-in-law for giving my wife a job so that she can have something to do in the compound."
He Shaochuan looked at him deeply and said, "You should also change your temper and stop beating your wife."
The smile on He Dazhuang's face froze.
He Shaochuan continued, "Your parents are over 70 years old. They spent all their savings to marry you off. They want you two to live a good life. To put it bluntly, if they passed away first, you would still have someone who cares about you, don't you think?"
When He Shaochuan said this, he thought of himself.
At that time, his parents passed away one after another, and the huge house was empty, with only him left. Without hesitation, he chose to join the army and serve his country.
But when I got older, I watched my comrades around me get married, have children, and start their own families.
He also longed for a home, just like when his parents were still alive. Although the family of three lived a hard life, the harmonious and happy atmosphere made He Shaochuan miss it very much.
It was also because of this that he asked a matchmaker to help him find a partner.
When He Shaochuan thought of this, he thought of Ning He again.
Marrying Ning He was an accident, but also destiny.
No matter what, he will do his best to protect their little home.
He Dazhuang agreed and explained with a smile: "Yes, yes, Captain He, you are right. I love my wife very much. You know that I love to drink. I was addicted to alcohol and accidentally touched my wife. This caused everyone's misunderstanding."
He Shaochuan didn't say anything more to He Dazhuang: "Alright, you understand the reason, go back and think about it yourself, I won't say anything else, go back."
"Okay, okay, Captain He, I'll leave first!" He Dazhuang was eager to leave.
He turned around and ran faster than a rabbit.
When He Shaochuan returned home, the whole yard was filled with the aroma of tea. He knew that Ning He must be cooking something delicious again.
He thought about the content of the letter again. The man was urging Ning He to pay for furniture.
Is that why she works so hard to make money?
Is it to raise money for that man as quickly as possible?
When He Shaochuan thought of this, his eyes hidden in the moonlight became extremely cold and dark, as if they were a bottomless pool.
He walked into the main room and saw Qianlin sitting at the table.
Qianlin had his back to him, busy with something in his hands, and didn't notice He Shaochuan approaching from behind.
He Shaochuan walked behind Qianlin and looked down at him condescendingly.
He finally saw what Qianlin was busy with.
There were many banknotes and coins in the iron box on the table. Qianlin took them out one by one with his little hands, stacked them neatly, and kept calculating the amount in his little mouth.
"Twenty-one dollars and fifty cents... twenty-nine dollars and fifty cents, thirty dollars!" Qianlin counted the last banknote.
His eyes sparkled and he shouted, "Mom, I've finished counting!"
Qianlin turned around with a smile, and when he saw He Shaochuan standing behind him, he was startled and screamed.
"Ah! Dad, you scared me to death!" Little Qianlin patted his chest.
The whole little face still looks frightened.
Hearing Qianlin's scream, Ning He ran into the main room: "Linbao, what's wrong?"
As Ning He entered the room, he saw the father and son staring at each other in silence.
Qianlin threw himself into Ninghe's lap and said, "Mom, Dad is frightening me to death. Dad is standing behind me and scaring me!"
Ning He patted Qian Lin on the back, raised her head, and looked at He Shaochuan with a smile in her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me you were back?" Ning He asked.
When he met the woman's bright and gentle eyes, He Shaochuan responded softly.
"Just got back."
His eyes fell on the table again: "How much money did you calculate just now?"
The question was directed at Qianlin.
Qianlin reacted quickly and blurted out: "Thirty dollars!"
Qianlin turned around and told Ninghe happily, "Mom, I made thirty dollars today!"
It can be seen that Qianlin is very happy.
How can I not be happy? I can earn thirty yuan a day.
That's a pretty good income in this day and age.
Ning He smiled and tapped Qian Lin's nose: "Then Mom will reward you with two tea eggs tonight, okay?"
"Great!" Qianlin said, jumping up and down, "The tea eggs my mom made are so delicious. My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time."
"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qianlin quickly ran out of the house to wash his hands.
Ning He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When he turned around and saw He Shaochuan still standing there in a daze, he urged him on.
"What are you standing there for? Linbao has already gone to wash his hands, why don't you go?"
Ning He looked at He Shaochuan.
Why does this guy act weird when he comes back today?
Was I really exhausted during today's training?
Thinking of this possibility, Ning He narrowed her eyes and tiptoed closer to He Shaochuan.
The pair of round eyes stared at him and asked tentatively: "Why didn't you say a word today?"
Because Ning He suddenly came close to him, the woman's hot breath was hovering around his jaw when she spoke. He tensed up all over and didn't dare to move.
His eyes even avoided and moved away.
"It's okay, just tired." His eyelids twitched and he responded softly.
Ning He laughed out loud.
He Shaochuan lowered his eyes and looked at her in confusion.
Ning He stopped laughing and hooked her finger at him: "Please come closer and I'll tell you something in private."
He Shaochuan had a complicated expression, but he still lowered his head under Ning He's gaze.
The woman put her arms around the man's neck and pressed her red lips against his earlobe.
"Are you so tired? Then I'll be on top tonight?"
He Shaochuan's eyes darkened for a moment.
And she was like a cunning and clever fox. After saying that, she slipped away quickly with a smile on her face.
He looked at the figure walking away, feeling mixed emotions.
What on earth is Ning He thinking?
He Shaochuan let out a long breath.
He must have a good talk with Ning He tonight.
Is she serious about herself, or is she just playing around?
He Shaochuan ate dinner absent-mindedly.
Tea eggs are delicious, but to him now, they are tasteless.
After Qianlin finished eating two tea eggs, he licked the corner of his mouth, indicating that he wanted to eat another one.
Ning He shook his head and refused to eat anything.
"Linbao, save the rest for tomorrow. You can't eat too many eggs at night. It's hard to digest them."
Seeing Qianlin drooping his brows in disappointment, Ning He touched Qianlin's head and said softly.
"Look, your father only eats one." Ning He raised his elbow and touched He Shaochuan beside him.
She wanted He Shaochuan to help persuade her.
He Shaochuan stood up after eating and looked at Qianlin: "Go pack your clothes after you finish eating. I'll wash the dishes and take you to the bathhouse."
He Shaochuan's tone did not allow for argument. Qianlin did not dare to act like a spoiled child anymore. He quickly stood up, holding his empty bowl and followed He Shaochuan.
Ning He was stunned. Lin Bao, who had just been acting coquettishly with her, suddenly stood up and left.
He Shaochuan, the old father, has quite a strong authority!
At night, when Ning He returned to the room after coaxing Qian Lin to sleep, she saw He Shaochuan standing in front of the window with his back to her.
Ning He was a little surprised. Didn’t he say he was very tired today? Why don’t you go to bed yet?
Did you take it seriously? Do you really want her to be on top?
Ning He coughed lightly, bringing He Shaochuan back to his senses.
He turned around, raised his eyes, and looked at Ning He with cold eyes.
"Ninghe, let's talk." He Shaochuan said bluntly.
Ning He nodded: "I also have something to tell you."
Ning He wanted to ask He Shaochuan's opinion regarding her joining the army canteen.
Because Ning He came up with a good idea that has the best of both worlds!
Ning He lay down on the bed and looked back at He Shaochuan.
She was amused by He Shaochuan's motionless appearance.
"Come up and lie on the bed and talk." She patted the empty space next to her.
"We're just chatting and having a heart-to-heart talk. There's no need to be so serious, Comrade He Shaochuan?" She smiled and looked at him leisurely.
