Shen Heng pretended to put the rabbit leg into Bai Jiaojiao's bowl, but just as he was about to put it in, he suddenly pulled it back, brought it to his mouth, and took a big bite: "We've got a deal, okay!"
"Who said we were on good terms!"
Bai Jiaojiao wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground, but Shen Heng urged her, "Eat quickly."
"..."
Bai Jiaojiao only ate a rabbit caught by Shen Heng, but that night she became the rabbit that Shen Heng wanted to eat.
Shen Heng has a bit of that useless male chauvinism. He has to be in control when it comes to things in bed, but when it comes to meals, he's just teasing Bai Jiaojiao.
He enjoyed seeing Bai Jiaojiao's obedient demeanor beneath him, feeling both heartache and an inability to control himself.
Bai Jiaojiao would only bite Shen Heng's shoulder when she couldn't take it anymore. Shen Heng would usually lower his head and gently kiss Bai Jiaojiao to comfort her, but sometimes he would mischievously bite harder.
"Heng-ge, go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Bai Jiaojiao pleaded softly with him, wrapping her arms around Shen Heng's neck in a coaxing manner.
"Be good, and we'll do it once."
Shen Heng brushed aside the stray hairs from Bai Jiaojiao's face and gently stroked her cheek with his rough, hot hand.
Bai Jiaojiao stayed in bed the next day.
Shen Heng, feeling refreshed, asked Bai Jiaojiao for leave. When he told Zheng Xu, he looked as excited as if he had received an award.
Bai Jiaojiao has been behaving well lately, so Zheng Xu is turning a blind eye to her for the time being.
Moreover, Zheng Xu is a married man, and judging from Shen Heng's attitude, Bai Jiaojiao's leave might not be due to her own fault.
Besides, Shen Heng said he could take over Bai Jiaojiao's work as well, so as the team leader, he should pretend to be blind when necessary.
He waved his hand and said, "Go away! Don't do it again!"
Shen Heng walked away triumphantly, carrying his hoe.
What do you mean by "this will not happen again"?
If Zheng Xu can make this start, it will be easier for him to speak up later.
Shen Heng used to feel sorry for Bai Jiaojiao, who had to work during the day and confine herself at night. But now, he's taken care of her at home, not letting her do anything but keep her warm in bed!
Shen Heng was secretly pleased with himself and smiled the whole way.
Upon encountering Bai Shihai, he grinned and called out, "Big Brother."
"Yes," Bai Shihai replied, seeing Shen Heng's smug face, he wondered what good thing had happened to this man. "Your sister-in-law said she invited you and Jiaojiao to dinner at home tonight. Tell Jiaojiao not to cook dinner."
Shen Heng didn't bother with formalities. He figured Bai Jiaojiao probably wanted to go back to her parents' home, so he nodded in agreement.
Bai Jiaojiao slept until the sun was high in the sky, and cursed Shen Heng as a beast in her heart.
If Shen Heng were to be reincarnated as a pig, he would surely be the best breeding pig in the surrounding area.
Bai Jiaojiao looked at the roof beam and pouted.
She suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly.
She hasn't slept a wink for so many nights with Shen Heng, could she be pregnant?
Bai Jiaojiao touched her lower belly, looked at her family's impoverished situation, and secretly prayed that she would not get pregnant.
Bai Jiaojiao's rebirth plan is very clear: make money, help Shen Heng get into university, and then settle down in the city. Before that, she has no plans to have children at all.
Even if they wait two years until they get into university and graduate, she and Shen Heng will only be in their late twenties. It won't be too late to have children then.
Even if she's not pregnant now, given Shen Heng's wolfish nature, as long as both of them are healthy, she'll probably get pregnant within a month or two.
But if she told Shen Heng that she didn't want to have a child with him, wouldn't Shen Heng be so angry that he fainted?
Bai Jiaojiao's mind was even more confused. She also had to be wary of Zhu Shengping, who was about to be discharged from the army. Her brain was really not enough to keep up.
Rubbing her aching lower back, Bai Jiaojiao got off the bed, supporting herself on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
Bai Jiaojiao discovered that Shen Heng liked to eat staple foods. Every time they ate, Shen Heng preferred to eat things that could fill his stomach.
Perhaps it was because I was afraid of being hungry when I was a child, or perhaps it's because I haven't eaten vegetables often in my life over the years, and I've gotten used to it.
To help Shen Heng correct this bad habit, Bai Jiaojiao cooked different dishes every day, making sure each meal was different. She could even cook the radishes from the yard in various ways.
When Shen Heng returned at noon, he told Bai Jiaojiao that Bai Shihai had invited them to his home for dinner.
Bai Jiaojiao immediately understood: "Big brother probably wants to thank us."
Shen Heng only realized what Bai Jiaojiao meant after hearing her words: "For that one squad leader? Is it really worth it?"
"Brother Heng, tell me what you were thinking. Why did you make a bet with Li Hongtao that you wouldn't take the squad leader position yourself, but instead wanted my older brother to take it?"
Shen Heng chuckled: "I don't care about this stuff. You think it's something good? With that effort, it's much more comfortable to come back and hug your wife."
"Get lost, Heng-ge, you're not allowed to talk during the day anymore."
“Hey, this isn’t the time for you to snuggle into my arms,” Shen Heng smiled and then revealed the truth, “If I said I wanted Li Hongtao, the squad leader, to be my captain, instead of any other guy with the surname Li, the battalion commander would be the first to object. It’s only because our big brother is a good person that this deal was made.”
Shen Heng had his own plans. He knew that with his reputation, if he became the squad leader, the people of Shili Village would probably jump up and oppose him.
"Heng-ge..." Bai Jiaojiao felt sorry for him again.
Shen Heng kissed the top of Bai Jiaojiao's head: "It's okay, I don't even like that little captain." As he spoke, he took the opportunity to bury his head in Bai Jiaojiao's arms, closed his eyes and took a breath.
Wife, you smell so good, hehe.
Bai Jiaojiao wanted to go to work in the afternoon, but Shen Heng said that he had already finished her work for the day and planned to continue doing so in the future.
“Since you want to sell pastries, then you don’t need to worry about the work in the fields. You can’t cheat the collective, but with your man around, you won’t suffer. You don’t need to worry about what others say either; they’ll only envy you for marrying a good man.”
Shen Heng didn't hesitate to pat himself on the back. Even though Bai Jiaojiao didn't praise him, he praised himself, as if it were Bai Jiaojiao praising him.
"Brother Heng, I just don't feel at ease."
In her past life, Bai Jiaojiao had placed all the farm work on Shen Heng's shoulders. Now that she was idle at home, she was bound to have wild thoughts.
"What's there to be uneasy about?" Shen Heng put his hands on Bai Jiaojiao's waist, his fingers overlapping, and clicked his tongue in disbelief, constantly shifting his position to measure. "With your small frame, I don't ask anything else of you. Just take good care of your man at home, understand?"
Bai Jiaojiao sat on Shen Heng's lap, her head touching his: "That's true, but I'll still go to the fields from time to time."
There's a difference between doing little and being a hands-off manager.
Besides, Bai Jiaojiao had a good chat with Huang Meijuan yesterday. She felt that it wasn't difficult to get along with the people in Shili Village. Having more friends meant having more options.
She can't keep herself confined to this social circle.
But Shen Heng wished that Bai Jiaojiao would only know him in the whole world.
