Chapter 142 Li Zhan came back and was jealous

Xia Juanjuan was still wondering who was knocking on the door after dark, so she asked "Who?" while standing up and walking carefully to the door.

She is now five months pregnant, and her belly is more than twice as big as that of a normal five-month pregnant woman. Therefore, every time she gets up to walk, she has to hold her waist with her hands, and her waist hurts so much.

Xia Juanjuan never thought that being pregnant would be so hard, and she secretly swore in her heart that after giving birth to this child, she would never give birth again.

Before I even reached the door, I heard a deep voice from outside: "It's me."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment. She naturally recognized this voice.

But why did Lizhan suddenly come back at this time?

As he was thinking about this, he quickened his pace involuntarily and opened the bolt of the door. Wasn't Lizhan standing at the door?

He hadn't changed much since he entered the room in the middle of the night on their wedding night. He still had an unshaven beard, but he was still so handsome that it angered both humans and gods.

On the contrary, I must be so ugly now with a big belly and eating so much every day.

Xia Juanjuan felt tears welling up in her eyes and couldn't help wondering, is this guy so busy that he doesn't even have time to shave every day?

He could have been a pretty boy, but he chose to have a rough look.

When Li Zhan saw Xia Juanjuan opening the door, he was attracted by her bulging belly at first sight and his eyes widened in surprise.

This... He remembered that when Mrs. Jiang from Brother Fu's family was seven months pregnant, her belly was not this big?

His wife has been pregnant for...more than five months, right?

Xia Juanjuan saw him staring at her belly, and she was sure that he thought she was ugly.

Humph, bastard! Who caused her to become like this? If he really dares to dislike her ugliness, she will beat him to death!

"Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Li Zhan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "A mission has just been completed. The troops are resting in a temporary camp nearby and will go to Beijing in two days. I will take a leave and come back for two days. I will leave early the day after tomorrow."

When Xia Juanjuan heard this, she put aside whether her own shameful behavior was real or not.

If we leave early the day after tomorrow, that means we will only stay at home for one day and two nights.

Suddenly I feel like every minute and every second is passing so fast...

"Then come in quickly. Have you eaten? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles..." Xia Juanjuan said with a smile, hiding her reluctance.

Li Zhan locked the door and said with a smile, "Don't bother, I'm not hungry."

Xia Juanjuan glanced at him and said angrily, "I didn't ask you if you were hungry or not, or if you had eaten or not..."

Even if you are not hungry, you still have to eat when it is time to eat.

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, and had to answer honestly: "No."

Xia Juanjuan held her waist with her hands and went into the house to get flour to roll out noodles for him.

Lizhan quickly chased after her and held her, fearing that she would fall. He said distressedly, "I'll cook it myself. Don't run around. You might fall..."

His wife's waist used to be slender, and now, when viewed from behind, it is still slender, but her big belly forces her to lean back as if it is about to break. In the past few months, she has been pregnant and taking care of three kids alone, which must have been extremely hard.

How could he bear to let her cook for him?

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and decided not to be stubborn. She nodded and said with a smile, "Okay. Then don't say your wife doesn't cook for you when you go out. It was you who didn't let me cook."

Li Zhan felt very happy to see that she could still joke and was happy to see him back.

He helped Xia Juanjuan to sit on a square bamboo bed in the yard. He couldn't help but glance at her and said with a doting smile, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you. Just stay here and be good."

Xia Juanjuan told him where to put the flour, bacon, vegetables and eggs, and let him get busy.

At the same time, he whispered, "Keep your voice down. The three kids are already asleep, and Xiao Wen has to go to school tomorrow."

Lizhan agreed and went to get the things.

He had first-rate investigative skills, and even if Xia Juanjuan didn't tell him, he could still find everything. In a short while, he had kneaded the dough, rolled out the noodles, and then cooked them in a pot.

The dish was not anything particularly complicated. I just fried some tomatoes and eggs and added a handful of green vegetables to make some tomato and egg noodles.

When the noodles were ready, Lizhan brought them out and ate them on a chair in the yard.

Xia Juanjuan's belly was so big that she couldn't sit still, so she put several pillows on the bamboo bed, half lying down, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan in her hand.

In the summer in the north, the temperature can usually soar to over 30 degrees Celsius under the scorching sun during the day. It is slightly better at night, dropping to around 26 or 27 degrees Celsius, which is not too unbearable. It is a little better at this time of year.

Seeing Li Zhan eating noodles in big mouthfuls, Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but muttered, "You still say you're not hungry? The bowl is almost eaten..."

If she hadn't pressed him, this idiot might have planned to starve until tomorrow morning, right?

Li Zhan didn't hear what she said clearly, so he looked up at her and said, "Well, what did you say?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "I forgot that there is a watermelon at home. Put it in the water tank to cool down, and then cut it up and eat it after you finish eating the noodles. It will be a good way to cool down."

Lizhan agreed, put down the bowl, and put the watermelon into the water tank first.

He came back and continued eating noodles, while asking, "Do you want to eat?"

Xia Juanjuan shook her head and said, "My three kids and I just ate half of it tonight, so we won't eat any more. Don't worry about me, just eat it yourself."

Li Zhan laughed and said, "Then I won't eat it either. I can't finish a whole melon. Besides, it won't cool down much even if it's frozen for a while. I'll eat it in the morning."

Then he asked, "Where did the watermelon come from?"

"I planted it in my own private plot. That riverside land is really fertile, and the vegetables and fruits are all abundant!"

Li Zhan nodded and couldn't help but said distressedly: "Wife, thank you for your hard work..."

It is said that a good harvest is due to fertile soil, but how can there be a good harvest if the people who grow vegetables are not diligent?

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted and quickly explained with a smile: "You mean the vegetable garden? After my parents found out that I was pregnant, it was my dad who helped water and fertilize the garden. I don't dare to take credit for it..."

After hearing this, Li Zhan was grateful to Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru: "Fortunately, they are taking care of you. I feel more at ease now."

He knew his mother Liu Lan. If the family had not been separated at the beginning, Liu Lan would probably have asked the pregnant Juanjuan to cook for her, and it would have been impossible for her to take care of Juanjuan.

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and realized that these days, the corn had been planted and there was less farm work to do in the fields. Lin Yuru basically came to help her cook every morning, noon and evening.

If it weren't for the original owner's "parents", she really didn't know how hard it would be.

They were indeed sorry to the original owner, but they had definitely done their best for her.

Xia Juanjuan was also grateful to them. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "And your comrades-in-arms came to help us for several days under the scorching sun when we were planting peanuts and sweet potatoes, and when we were harvesting wheat. You are really a fool. You owe them a favor without even discussing it with me. They are workers in the county factory. What will we do if we can't repay them in the future?"

This is of course a joke.

Although she is from the countryside, she has the resources and space. How could she not repay the favor?

Li Zhan got angry when he heard this and said, "Bullshit! Those guys sent me a telegram proudly, saying that they came to help my sister-in-law with farm work for a few days, and that the meal my sister-in-law cooked for them at noon was much richer than what they ate in the factory cafeteria. They also said that my sister-in-law was beautiful and capable, and if they could eat such delicious meals every day, they would rather come to help my sister-in-law with farm work every day. Damn it! A bunch of conscienceless bastards! I haven't even eaten the food cooked by my wife, and they still sent a telegram from a thousand miles away to make me angry!"

Xia Juanjuan almost died of laughter.

She found that her 'Rabbit Leader' was quite cute, especially when he was jealous.

Lizhan was still indignant after he finished speaking: "Also, it would be fine if it was just the three of them, but they actually publicized it to me. As a result, I received telegrams for half a month, all from those retired bastards. One by one, they volunteered to help my sister-in-law with farm work... The list is already filled up until the autumn harvest next year! What enthusiasm! My wife is beautiful and capable, and she cooks delicious food. What does it have to do with them!..."
