"What's wrong? Why are you still choking?"

"Drink some soup quickly and eat slowly!"

Seeing Xu Haonan eating, Shen Zhizhu was speechless.

She patted the man on the back and shook her head.

Xu Haonan didn't dare to look up and meet Shen Zhizhu's eyes.

The words that she just said in her mind made this 1.98-meter-tall farmer blush with embarrassment.

Auditory hallucination!

He must be hallucinating!

Since Shen Zhizhu woke up, she might have gone crazy. He must take her to the hospital for a thorough check-up tomorrow.

Check yourself carefully too.

Xu Haonan thought so in his heart, lowered his head, and tried hard to eat the rice in the bowl.

"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot. Try the braised pork I made. I remember that braised pork is your favorite dish."

Shen Zhizhu put the big piece of meat into the man's bowl with heartache, and looked at him with love and doting.

[I must make sure my husband is strong and muscular. He has flesh on his body so it feels good to touch! ]

Hearing this, Xu Haonan looked up suddenly, only to see Shen Zhizhu eating his meal by himself.

"What's up?"

Their eyes met, and Shen Zhizhu asked curiously.

"No, nothing."

Xu Haonan blushed again, fearing that Shen Zhizhu would notice his embarrassment.

He felt particularly disgusted during the meal.

Shen Zhizhu: "..."

About a few minutes later, Xu Haonan swept away all the food on the table at a swift speed, then picked up the clothes in the house and went to the yard to take a cool shower.

Shen Zhizhu was also not idle. He put away the dishes and cleaned the house inside and out.

Finally, she leaned against the head of the bed, opened the drawer, took out a handkerchief, and counted the money she earned from selling hairbands today.

Adding the 150 yuan Xu Haonan gave her when he came home, she had saved a total of 200 yuan.

Shen Zhizhu was secretly pleased that the two hundred yuan was enough to cover the expenses of an ordinary family for two years.

In 1974, the domestic environment was in turmoil and resources were insufficient. Even if every family had enough food and clothing, they were still far from achieving a well-off standard of living.

Shen Zhizhu thought to herself that in her previous life, she had relied on her unique talent for design and clothing to gain a foothold in the city and create her own clothing world in one leap.

Right now, although this era is not as full of challenges and markets as the modern era, it is still an era full of opportunities, and everything has just begun.

The more Shen Zhizhu thought about it, the happier she became. She wrapped the money in her handkerchief and finally put it in the iron box. Then she took out the newly bought pieces of floral cloth at the market that day and tried them out overnight, preparing to make a few new dresses.

The woman was meticulous and had deft hands. Before long, a dress with beautiful colors and unique design was cut out by her skillful hands.

Seeing the floral fabric on the table, Shen Zhizhu did not waste it and quickly sewed a few floral trousers for Xu Haonan.

"It's getting late, stop busying yourself and go to bed early!"

Seeing that Shen Zhizhu was still cutting something under the kerosene lamp, Xu Haonan reminded him with concern.

"Well, go to sleep first. I'll use the remaining fabric to make you some pants. It's getting hot, so remember to change them every day."

Shen Zhizhu spoke slowly and didn't notice Xu Haonan who was sitting beside him with a red face due to embarrassment.

Xu Haonan covered his head with the quilt and looked at Shen Zhizhu through the gap in the quilt. The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong with this woman.

Pursing his lips, the man felt doubtful.

After spending a few days with Shen Zhizhu, her meticulous and considerate care for me didn't seem like she was pretending?

Could it be that she really changed her mind and wanted to live a good life with me?

Xu Haonan shook his head and instantly changed this ridiculous idea. In the past, Shen Zhizhu had been madly in love with Du Manjun, and he had repeatedly advised her that this man was not a good person.

But, she is so stubborn that no one can pull her back. How could Shen Zhizhu like her now?

Xu Haonan did not pursue the topic any further, thinking that Shen Zhizhu's behavior was out of character because his temperament had changed drastically recently.

He rubbed his eyes and felt extremely tired after a whole day's work. He tilted his head and fell into a deep sleep soon.

Seeing that Xu Haonan had fallen asleep, Shen Zhizhu placed her trousers considerately next to the man's pillow, and then went back to sewing the dress in her hands.

The woman knew that this man had given too much for this family and had devoted everything to her.

Shen Zhizhu didn't want Xu Haonan to work so hard alone, and she continued sewing the dress until late at night. She thought about going to the market early tomorrow morning to exchange some money, so as to reduce the burden on the man and not waste the skill she learned in her previous life.

Throughout the night, Shen Zhizhu used her skillful hands to cut out several dresses of novel styles.

After tidying her clothes, the woman leaned against the head of the bed and fell into a deep sleep next to the man.

Have a good night’s sleep!

The next morning, Xu Haonan woke up early, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and subconsciously saw Shen Zhizhu sleeping soundly beside him.

The woman had a pretty face, her slender eyelashes trembling gently, and her sweet and lovely sleeping posture made Xu Haonan, a straight man, fascinated for a moment.

It was the first time for the man to have such close physical contact with Shen Zhizhu, and the little heart in his chest was beating non-stop.

The next second, the woman twisted her body and opened her eyes contentedly.

Xu Haonan: "..."

"Good morning! Are you awake?"

Shen Zhizhu called softly, without noticing that the man on the bed was blushing like a shy young wife.

She sat up, stretched, and had a good night's sleep.

Xu Haonan jumped off the bed with a "whoosh", hurriedly picked up his clothes and got out of bed.

She was so tired last night that she fell into a deep sleep and didn't know what happened.

Nothing that shouldn't have happened should have happened between him and Shen Zhizhu, right?

Seeing the man's panic, Shen Zhizhu chuckled in his heart. They are already husband and wife, but this man is still so shy.

"I'm going to the market today. I made a few dresses last night. I see you work hard every day. Don't worry, I won't let you work so hard now that I am here."

As he spoke, Shen Zhizhu put on his clothes and got out of bed.

"These are some pants I made for you last night using the leftover fabric. Wash and change them frequently when the weather gets hot."

Having said that, the woman pointed to a few flowery trousers placed beside the pillow and glanced at Xu Haonan with a smile on her face.

Pants, trousers?

Flowered pants?

Xu Haonan looked in the direction Shen Zhizhu pointed, and saw several brightly colored trousers placed next to the pillow.

Seeing such brightly colored pants, the man blushed again.

"I'm going to go out first. There's some porridge in the pot that I cooked last night. Remember to have some to fill your stomach before you get to work."

Shen Zhizhu was like a good wife and mother. She arranged all the household affairs properly, then packed up her dresses and went out.

She... has she changed her gender?

After Shen Zhizhu left, Xu Haonan picked up the flowered trousers that the woman had made for him and looked at them again and again, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
