In the evening, after Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu finished their studies for the day, they took a shower and lay down.
Shen Zhizhu looked at the back of Xu Haonan who was sleeping soundly. He made a few movements in the air with his little fist and finally put it down helplessly.

It is said that time is the best proof. Thirty-five days have passed since their wedding, and during this time they have worked hard together for this family.
Xu Haonan's relationship with her was getting better and better. They could already lie on the same bed very naturally, but they covered themselves with separate quilts.
Do you still think that I am not sincere in marrying him?
That shouldn't have happened. He handed over all the money he earned. Even if he left some pocket money for himself, most of it was used to buy meat and supplies for the family.
He studied with me and saved so much money just to buy a bicycle to pick me up and drop me off.
Shen Zhizhu's hands were exposed outside the quilt, placed under his chin as if he was thinking.
Thinking back on every moment they had spent together, she was sure that Xu Haonan was not averse to her and was always shy about her getting close to him. So what was the problem?
She muttered as she thought about it.
"Why don't you consummate the marriage with me? Why don't you kiss me? Could it be that you don't like me anymore after being together for so long?"
Xu Haonan turned his back and his heart was beating wildly. Of course he still liked her, he always liked her.
In fact, Xu Haonan was not asleep, he just felt embarrassed to sleep face to face with Shen Zhizhu. He thought Shen Zhizhu was particularly beautiful at all times, and he was afraid that he could not control himself.
As for why he didn't consummate the marriage, he felt that it was not the right time yet. He was afraid that Shen Zhizhu was only treating him well because he wanted to marry him, not because he loved her from the bottom of his heart.
She had liked Du Manjun so much that after being married to him for more than a month, she had completely forgotten that Du Manjun liked her. He found it a bit unrealistic.
Xu Haonan is not so confident either.
On the other hand, Xu Haonan thinks Shen Zhizhu is excellent, very excellent.
I can make clothes and design them. My designs are well-liked by everyone. I know a lot of words and can understand the contents of books.
But he is just an illiterate ruffian. Shen Zhizhu will surely be admitted to university in the future. By then, he will meet more people and be surrounded by educated people. He will surely meet someone who is more educated and has better character than Du Manjun.
What if Shen Zhizhu regrets it...
Just thinking about this, he felt very uncomfortable.
βBang, bang, bangββ
There was a knock on the door in the yard. In the middle of the night, someone was knocking on the door.
Shen Zhizhu, who loved watching all kinds of suspense and horror movies in her previous life, felt her hair stand on end. Her body was stiff and many images flashed through her mind quickly.
Xu Haonan turned over and held Shen Zhizhu in his arms, comforting him gently.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go check it out. The scissors are in the drawer next to the bed, take them and use them for self-defense."
At this moment, the sense of security given by Xu Haonan was fully realized. Shen Zhizhu put on his coat and took out a pair of scissors and held them in his hand.
"Why don't you just not watch it? Maybe there won't be any sound soon."
βBang, bang, bangββ
Shen Zhizhu fell headfirst into Xu Haonan's arms.
[A slap in the face doesn't come so quickly. γ
Xu Haonan didn't understand what the slap in the face meant. As a man, he had the responsibility to eliminate his wife's fear at this time.
"Don't be afraid, it might be a neighbor. Stay inside and I'll go out and take a look."
The knocking on the door continued, but not in a hurry. It happened three times every once in a while, which made Shen Zhizhu feel scared.
Xu Haonan was careful not to make any noise and as he approached the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
"Hao Nan, Xiao Zhu!"
Isnβt this Aunt Li from next door?
He hurried over and opened them, indeed.
But Uncle Li also came.
Shen Zhizhu, who was lying at the door of the inner room watching the situation, was also dumbfounded. It turned out to be Uncle Li and Aunt Li's family. It's a good thing they should have told her earlier. She was scared to death.
She put on her clothes, ran to Xu Haonan, welcomed the two of them in, and sat on chairs in the yard.
"Uncle Li, Auntie Li, what happened? Why did you come at this time?"
The two families interacted most of the time during the day, and this was the first time they had seen each other come in the middle of the night.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li looked at each other and pushed each other for a long time. Finally, Aunt Li spoke up and explained her purpose.
"I thought, you newlyweds, it's not good to come to see me at night, and your uncle Li and I are here to ask for your help, it's easy for others to see us if we come during the day."
Good guy, Shen Zhizhu shouted good guy, you are driving in public, right?
But the key point is that the other party didn't have such thoughts at all. He just took a shower and fell asleep in bed. They didn't look like a newlywed couple at all.
Thinking about it, he glared at Xu Haonan.
Xu Haonan was glared at for no reason and felt a little confused.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li saw their interaction and laughed secretly.
Although it didn't happen as they thought, Shen Zhizhu still felt embarrassed, so she hurried to explain.
"No auntie, Haonan and I are reading seriously tonight."
Xu Haonan also understood what Shen Zhizhu meant by glaring at him. He clenched his fist, placed it to his lips and coughed.
"What's the matter that requires you to come here in the middle of the night?"
Uncle Li was pushed by Aunt Li. He rubbed his hands and spoke with some embarrassment.
"That's right. I discussed it with your aunt and I want to borrow some money from you."
All things are difficult at the beginning, but once the words are spoken, the rest will come naturally, Aunt Li added.
"It's like this. We want to find a school for Erdan. We thought about it all night after we went back that day and decided that the child should read some books and learn some principles. He shouldn't be like us, living here all his life with a predictable life. But your uncle and I have elderly people to take care of at home, and we thought we might not have enough money, so we thought we could borrow some money."
"Don't worry, we will definitely pay you back. The old hens at home lay eggs every day. I will ask Erdan to deliver four eggs every day. Your uncle Li has found a factory, which has been approved. I will officially start work in two days. But my salary will not be paid until next month. That's because school is about to start and I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan looked at each other, and Shen Zhizhu spoke with a smile.
"That's good news. Did you get any news from the village chief?"
How come there is no news from them?
Now it was Uncle Li and Aunt Li's turn to be surprised.
"You don't know? The news has been out for two days."
Shen Zhizhu chuckled. She knew that this old scoundrel would not really report their names. This was what it meant to take revenge on someone personally.
"Your aunt and I don't think Du Manjun has the time to really teach the children in the village. We think that the children should go to school."
Shen Zhizhu agreed with this statement very much.
"I've been shopping lately and spent a lot, but I still have some left. I wonder how much you plan to borrow?"
"Fifty, let's see if it works?"
"Okay, of course. Erdan needs to go to school, so why not?"
Uncle Li and Aunt Li were just trying to give it a try. They remembered that they had sold the wild boar for a lot of money last time, so there might be some left over. They just didn't know if they would lend it to them.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhizhu agreed without even thinking about it, which touched them deeply.
