Chapter 107 Please put down my bellyband!
It was not until the afternoon that Huo Jianguo came to the clinic to take Su Mei back.
He came here on foot.
Thinking about having to walk back with Huo Jianguo, Su Mei's legs and feet couldn't help but feel weak. The scene of being chased by wolves last time was still vivid in her mind. How could she not be afraid?
Not to mention walking that road again, Su Mei couldn't help having nightmares at night just thinking about that scene.
Huo Jianguo obviously saw what Su Mei was worried about, and he stepped forward to comfort her:
"Don't worry. When the weather is fine, there will be basically no wolves. They originally live in the mountains. They can't find food in the mountains when it snows. In addition, poachers take advantage of the snow to fish, which scares the wolves. That's why they run to places where people gather.
In this weather, there is little chance of encountering wolves or other carnivores on the road, so just follow me with confidence."
"Okay." Su Mei nodded, but she always felt something was wrong in her heart - didn't the master say that the wolves were becoming more and more rampant? Why did Huo Jianguo say that the weather was clear and wolves would rarely appear in the area where people moved?
How come the two people said completely different things?
She thought about it and felt that maybe the master really regretted his decision and didn't want her to live in the clinic, so he made up an excuse and sent her back to live there.
But it doesn't matter, she has successfully become the apprentice and can learn the skills from her master.
After tidying up the lounge, Su Mei locked the door of the clinic and followed Huo Jianguo home.
Huo Jianguo was carrying grain, oil and vegetables, which he had asked a transporter to buy from the county town.
The two walked along the road and returned to the military compound in less than 20 minutes.
The Military Academy was originally very close to the military area, but the road was difficult to walk on due to snow, so it took a long time to walk there.
After returning to the yard, Su Mei went into the kitchen and prepared to make a fire to boil water for a bath and change her clothes.
She had just entered the kitchen and picked up the bucket when Huo Jianguo followed her in and snatched the bucket away.
"You want to fetch water? I'll do it." Huo Jianguo walked into the yard carrying a bucket of water.
The marriage principles taught by Qin Zhengting say that a man should try to do any work that his wife cannot be allowed to do, and a man who wants to please a woman must have a busy mind.
Soon, Huo Jianguo filled the pot with water.
After adding more water, he saw Su Mei making a fire, so he hurried to the yard and brought back a large bundle of chopped firewood and placed it in front of Su Mei.
He really wanted to be more attentive, but there was really nothing he could do, so he sat on the small stool next to the stove and looked at Su Mei with his spare time.
After taking this look, he was surprised to find that Su Mei had lost weight again.
It has been almost a month since she said she wanted to change herself. During this month, Huo Jianguo felt that Su Mei had lost at least 30 kilograms.
She used to weigh at least 200 pounds, but now she looks less than 170 pounds.
Although she was wearing loose clothes and the changes in her figure were not noticeable, Huo Jianguo could see that her hands and face had become smaller.
When she was fat before, her eyes were narrowed into slits, and Huo Jianguo had never been able to see her squeezed facial features clearly.
Now that she has lost weight, her facial features are more relaxed on her face. Although she is still very fat, she no longer looks bloated, and her skin is much whiter and softer than before.
She lost 30 kilograms, which seemed like a complete transformation to Huo Jianguo.
The Sumei used to be dark and strong, but now it has become white and plump.
Even though Huo Jianguo doesn't pay much attention to a woman's appearance, he has to admit that a white and plump woman does look more attractive than a dark and strong one.
"Why are you looking at me?" Su Mei had long noticed that Huo Jianguo had been looking at her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
In fact, ever since he proposed to consummate their marriage, she feels a little weird in her heart whenever she faces Huo Jianguo.
Huo Jianguo did not hide anything and said directly:
"I find you've become much prettier!"
"Really?" Su Mei's eyes lit up. She thought her changes were not obvious. What woman doesn't like to be praised for her beauty?
She just lowered her head and looked at the layers of flesh on her body. Su Mei shook her head in frustration:
"Hey, with such a fat body, how good can it be? It's easy to lose the fat in the front, but it's hard to lose it later!
I don’t know when I can be the paper beauty who is so thin that she will fall down in the wind! "
"A paper beauty who falls down at the slightest gust of wind?" Huo Jianguo frowned, "How can she survive?"
"It's better to die thin than live fat. You don't understand women's obsession with their figure." Su Mei sighed softly.
The road to weight loss is a long one.
Huo Jianguo really didn’t understand, what was so good about the paper man?
He thought Su Mei was good the way she was now, chubby and round, with a look of wealth and status. In Aunt Wang's words, she looked like a lucky charm for her husband.
The fire burned hotter and hotter, and soon the water in the pot began to boil.
Without waiting for Su Mei to stand up, Huo Jianguo took the bucket and scooped the hot water out of the pot, then he carried the water to the next room.
He found a bathtub in the yard and brought it into the bedroom. After putting boiling water in it, he carried half a bucket of cold water into the bedroom to adjust the water temperature.
Watching Huo Jianguo busying around, Su Mei leaned against the kitchen door and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She had spent half a day boiling the water, but he unceremoniously interrupted her and went to wash it first.
Su Mei thought Huo Jianguo was adjusting the water for her to take a bath, but before she could finish her complaint, Huo Jianguo came up to her and said:
"The bath water is ready for you, go take a bath!"
"You...did you rinse the bath water for me?" Su Mei looked at Huo Jianguo strangely and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
She had just been so naive that she thought he was stealing the bath water she had heated.
"What else?" Huo Jianguo asked casually, as if what he did was just an ordinary thing. While speaking, he secretly observed the changes in Su Mei's eyes, and felt more and more that -
Master is right, a man must have life in his eyes.
While Su Mei was taking a shower, Huo Jianguo immediately started cooking.
Master also said that if you want to capture a woman’s heart, you must first capture her stomach.
Although the food cooked by Huo Jianguo tasted very ordinary, he was not worried that Su Mei would not like it. After all, in the past, even if he burnt the food, he could not eat a single bite, but Su Mei could still eat several bowls.
She is not picky about food, so Huo Jianguo wanted to prepare three dishes and a soup, but he would definitely control her stomach.
He even took into consideration that she wanted to lose weight and not eat greasy food, so he reduced the amount of oil.
By the time Su Mei came out of the bedroom after lying in bed for forty or fifty minutes to pour the bath water, Huo Jianguo had successfully finished his three dishes and one soup.
A plate of stir-fried potato shreds of varying sizes.
A plate of yellow and delicious pickled cabbage.
A plate of barely acceptable scrambled eggs.
He saw Su Mei pouring out the bath water and hurriedly shouted, "Are you hungry? Come over quickly for dinner."
Su Mei had no plans to eat dinner. After so many days in the clinic, she had already urged herself to develop the habit of not eating after noon.
However, facing Huo Jianguo's obviously eager gaze, Su Mei didn't feel like refusing and obediently went into the kitchen.
As soon as she entered, Huo Jianguo stuffed a bowl of rice into her hands. Su Mei took the rice and sat down with chopsticks. After seeing the dishes on the table, she began to regret why she agreed to have this dinner.
Su Mei's intuition told her that these dishes that did not look good would not taste very good.
In fact, it was really unpalatable. As a person who has high requirements for the taste of food, Su Mei finished the meal almost as if she was chewing wax.
Because it didn't taste good, Su Mei ate it very slowly.
Huo Jianguo finished eating and went to the yard, but she was still sitting on the stool and continued eating. After she finally finished eating, she picked up the bucket to go to the well to fetch water to wash the dishes, but she was petrified standing in the yard again, because when she got to the well, Huo Jianguo was washing the clothes she had changed.
The moment she saw the clothes in Huo Jianguo's hand, Su Mei felt like exploding:
"Huo Jianguo, please put down my bellyband!"
