However, there are also negative aspects. Those who love to gossip have often brought up the fact that they have been married for two years but still don't have children.
However, Qian Xiao didn't care about any of that. She was only twenty-one and not in a hurry at all. Life was good for just the two of them. Sun Kaicheng also never cared about what others said. To put it bluntly, it wasn't that they couldn't have children; they just didn't want to become parents so early.
Since their harrowing honeymoon, the couple has taken numerous precautions, fearing they might accidentally get pregnant. To put it bluntly, they weren't ready to become parents right now.
Making noodles is quick too. Sun Kaicheng is strong and kneads the dough fast. After cooking the noodles, rinsing them in cold water makes them look even more chewy. The diced meat is cut into small pieces and stir-fried, so it cooks very quickly.
"Honey, wash your hands and it's time to eat."
Qian Xiao quickly washed her hands and placed the small dining table on the kang (a heated brick bed). The two of them usually ate on the kang, and could lean against it for a while when they got tired.
Smelling the aroma, Qian Xiao took a big bite and gave Sun Kaicheng a thumbs up: "Your cooking skills are getting better and better. You'll definitely be better than me in the future."
Seeing her eating with relish, Sun Kaicheng felt quite accomplished: "If you like it, eat more. I've noticed you've been eating less these past few days. It's not even the hottest time yet, why are you already suffering from summer heat?"
"It's not that I suffer from summer heat; I don't have that problem at all. I just get full after a few bites. I guess it's because I took a bus back this time. The bus was fast, but it wasn't as comfortable as the train. It was so bumpy that my intestines almost came out."
"It's been several days and you still haven't recovered. If you're still like this in a couple of days, we'll have to take you to the hospital to get checked out. I'm worried about you."
"We'll see when the time comes. I don't feel unwell anywhere." Who goes to the hospital for no reason?
"Why do I feel like someone is knocking on the door?" Qian Xiao took a bite of noodles, feeling like someone was knocking on the door.
Sun Kaicheng listened for a moment and said, "It really is. I wonder who came?" Only the two of them lived in the house. Occasionally, their second and third uncles would come over and bring them some mountain produce or something. Usually, no one would come to visit.
"Don't move, I'll go open the door."
Qian Xiao strained her ears to listen to the sounds outside. It sounded like a man's voice. Who could it be? She craned her neck to look outside, but Sun Kaicheng was blocking her view, so she couldn't see who it was.
Shuangdan spoke in Qian Xiao's mind: "Host, guess who's here?"
"Oh, you recognize him? But the voice sounds kind of familiar."
"Doesn't that sound familiar? It's your younger brother who's here."
Qian Xiao immediately put down her chopsticks, got out of bed, and put on her shoes: "My god, why didn't you say so sooner? I haven't seen San Dan or Si Dan for years!"
When Qian Xiao got married, her two younger brothers had already passed away. They didn't even have time to attend her wedding. More than two years have passed since then, and she only receives a letter occasionally. If there are no letters, people would think that the two of them have gone to outer space.
Qian Xiao had just slipped out of the room when the people outside came in and bumped into her. Qian Xiao quickly scurried past her husband and rushed towards her younger brother, saying, "Mom, if you hadn't come back to check on me, I would have thought I was lost."
Before San Dan could even help his older sister up, Qian Xiao quickly stepped back and started gagging: "Yue... what's that smell on you? It's suffocating me."
San Dan was startled and tried to help his sister, but Qian Xiao quickly stepped back and raised her hand to stop her: "Don't come any closer, or I'll throw up from the fumes."
“yue”
San Dan was utterly aggrieved. Did he have it easy? He took several days by train to come back and see his older sister, only to make her vomit as soon as they met. Who could stand that?
What, am I that disgusting?
Sun Kaicheng quickly helped his wife up and patted her back with a smile: "How are you? Still feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital now?"
Qian Xiao waved her hand, feeling completely drained: "No need, I didn't really throw up. I have to admit I didn't, otherwise all that meat would have been for nothing."
Sun Kaicheng... Sometimes he really wanted to open Erdan's head and see what was inside. Was this the key?
"Why are you feeling disgusted? I told you something was wrong, but you wouldn't believe me. Look at you, you've never been like this before?"
Comrade Erdan is really robust. In all the years we've known each other, he's never been sick once. He's as strong as a young calf, and this is the first time he's looked sickly.
Qian Xiaocai remembered her younger brother: "Hey, bro, I didn't mean it, it's just that you smell awful. Can we take a shower first before we talk?"
San Dan complained, "Sis, why are you making such a fuss? You used to be able to eat even while guarding the toilet, but now you can't even stand the smell of sweat!"
"Yue, speak properly and don't mention those disgusting things."
Sun Kaicheng patted his wife's back and said, "Hey, San Dan, go wash up quickly, don't make your sister uncomfortable." Why is his brother-in-law getting worse and worse at talking?
San Dan followed the direction his brother-in-law pointed, feeling wronged and crying. This was nothing like what he had imagined. His older sister hadn't seen him for years, and she should have been hugging him and crying her eyes out. Why was he being disgusted by his older sister?
He didn't even go back to his parents' place, he came straight to see his eldest sister. Does this mean his eldest sister has a husband and doesn't care about him anymore?
Qian Xiao gulped down a bowl of cold water from Sun Kaicheng's hand to suppress the nausea. Looking at the noodles in the bowl, she lost her appetite. Why didn't San Dan come later? If he had come later, would there have been no noodles left?
"Oh dear! Do you think I have heatstroke?" She had never had heatstroke before, and only knew that people with heatstroke would feel nauseous and want to vomit, but she didn't know anything else about the symptoms.
Sun Kaicheng glanced at Qian Xiao's face, which was slightly pale, not like someone suffering from heatstroke: "It doesn't seem like it. Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out now?"
He had heard others say that people who never get sick will suddenly have a major illness when they do. His wife was one of those people who never got sick.
"I'm not going. I feel much better. I just don't want to eat this food. I guess it's the smell of Sandan that's bothering me. People have been living too well for too long and have become fussy."
When she was little, the fields had just been fertilized with farmyard manure, and she could eat right there by the field and it tasted delicious. Now, she can't even mention it anymore; Yue can't even think about it.
"Why is it starting again?" Sun Kaicheng was extremely anxious.
Qian Xiao waved his hand: "Nothing? I just suddenly thought about spreading fertilizer in the fields, and it disgusted me."
Sun Kaicheng...you're really something, eating your meal and thinking about such sentimental things. Luckily, he's not that kind of pretentious person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish his meal.
