Song Lan stood up and asked.
"No, thank you."
Qin Yanzheng shook his head.
Song Lan carried the empty bowl to the doorway, but suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at the man sitting on the headboard, thinking to herself: He's probably not comfortable urging me to eat!
What are you saying?
Qin Yanzheng suddenly asked.
I didn't say anything.
Song Lan was puzzled and asked in return, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"...No, you should go and eat."
After a moment of slight surprise, Qin Yanzheng shook his head and gave his response.
Didn't say anything?
How did he hear her voice?
Qin Yanzheng was puzzled.
But he trusted his wife and believed she wouldn't lie to him. After all, she either said it or she didn't, and there was absolutely no need for her to lie to him.
Frowning, Qin Yanzheng thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
Perhaps he was hallucinating?
"That's the only possibility," Qin Yanzheng told himself. So, he put aside his doubts and focused on listening to the radio program.
After lunch, with some time before work or school, Song Lan told Qin Boyan and the two children to go back to their room for a nap. As for whether Qin Yaxin needed to rest, Song Lan didn't even need to say anything. After finishing her meal, she put down her bowl and turned to go back to her own bedroom.
Song Lan didn't show anything unusual about this, but Qin Boyan said to Qin Yaxin's back: "A leopard can't change its spots."
"Second brother, don't you think you've gone too far?"
After resting for about half an hour, Qin Boyan rode his bicycle with Qin Yaxin on the back to school. On the way, Qin Yaxin suddenly said something that Qin Boyan found incomprehensible: "If you're sick, go take your medicine. Don't cause trouble in front of me!"
"Am I looking for trouble?"
Qin Yaxin blushed with anger: "A leopard can't change its spots, didn't you say that?"
"So that's why."
Qin Boyan scoffed and said, "Am I wrong? He pretended to apologize to me and my sister-in-law in the kitchen, but what happened? After finishing his meal, he just put his bowl in the kitchen and left. Isn't that like a leopard that can't change its spots?"
"You...you just think I'm selfish!"
Qin Yaxin was clearly guilty.
"Yes, that's exactly what I think."
Qin Boyan did not deny it, saying, "If you only think about yourself and not others, and you really know you are wrong, your words and actions will naturally change. But do you have that?"
You still only care about yourself and don't think about washing the pots and pans or the dishes. You didn't even tell a lie to help your sister-in-law. It's clear that your previous apology was just insincere, or that your brother asked you to apologize and you had to give a perfunctory answer!
"I...I wasn't just being perfunctory, I...I just didn't think of it. I'll change in the future!"
She was used to it and didn't have the awareness to wash the dishes for the whole family. In other words, even if she had to wash dishes, she would only wash her own.
Qin Boyan chuckled and said indifferently, "Fine, I'll be watching." He would see how she made the changes!
"Don't underestimate me!"
Sensing the dismissive tone in Qin Boyan's voice, Qin Yaxin couldn't help but feel indignant. She said, "I said I would change, and I will definitely keep my word!"
Qin Boyan did not respond.
"You don't believe me?"
Qin Yaxin poked Qin Boyan in the back, but received no response, so she raised her voice and asked, "Don't you believe me?"
"I said I'll wait and see, can you please stop being so annoying?"
Squeezing the brakes, Qin Boyan braced himself with one foot on the ground and turned to look at Qin Yaxin: "You mean what you say? Well, listen to me now, don't you dare contradict yourself in a couple of days."
As soon as the sound faded, he pushed off with his feet and continued riding.
"What? I knew you underestimated me, and it turns out you were right."
Qin Yaxin muttered to herself, "But you'll definitely be disappointed!"
A person should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation. Just wait and see, she is absolutely consistent in her words and deeds. When the time comes, she will shock everyone in the family.
Qin Boyan rolled his eyes, ignoring Qin Yaxin's mutterings.
At the entrance of the town's middle school.
"There's something I find strange. I wonder if you've noticed it, Second Brother?"
As Qin Yaxin jumped off the back seat and walked into the school gate, she asked Qin Boyan.
"What?"
Qin Boyan frowned slightly, clearly showing some impatience.
"That woman, Song Lan..."
Before Qin Yaxin could finish speaking, she saw Qin Boyan's face change color and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly changed her words, "Don't take this so seriously. I just spoke off the cuff."
"Speak quickly, I need to go to the bike shed."
Qin Boyan urged him on with a cold face.
"Don't you find it strange that your sister-in-law doesn't smell of disinfectant?"
As Qin Yaxin spoke, before Qin Boyan could respond, she continued, "My sister-in-law is a nurse who specializes in giving injections and changing dressings for patients. Even if she wears a nurse's uniform while working, she would inevitably have a bit of disinfectant smell on her when she gets home from get off work. But I didn't smell it when I apologized to my sister-in-law."
"Does working in a hospital necessarily mean you have to smell of disinfectant?"
Qin Boyan looked at her as if she were an idiot. He said, "Sister-in-law is very clean. When she's working, she wears a nurse's uniform. Doesn't she wash her hands and tidy herself up before going home from the hospital?"
"What you said makes sense, but I still find it strange."
Her deskmate's parents both work at the town's health center; one is a doctor and the other a nurse. In the short two days since school started, her deskmate has been completely at ease with her, talking to her about everything. Among the things she mentioned was that her parents always smelled faintly of disinfectant when they came home from get off work.
Furthermore, before settling down at the branch factory, Song Lan's sister-in-law worked at the main factory's staff hospital. Even though she looked refreshed when she got home from get off work, you could still smell a faint disinfectant odor if you passed by her closely. This wasn't something she made up; she had smelled it more than once.
"Then you can stay here and wait and see."
Qin Boyan was too lazy to pay any more attention to Qin Yaxin. He thought that this younger sister must have something wrong with her head. Otherwise, why would she bring up that her sister-in-law didn't smell of disinfectant?
They have so many problems!
Security Department.
Song Lan takes her work very seriously. After spending half a day together, she and her colleagues in the security department have become quite familiar with each other.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, after completing another round of inspections, Wei Shengli casually asked, "This morning, Sister Wang said that Comrade Song, you are already married. Are you trying to fool us?"
"I am indeed married."
Song Lan smiled politely and said, "Besides, I've been married for almost a year."
"But you look no more than seventeen or eighteen years old."
Wei Shengli was puzzled.
“In the countryside, many girls get married at seventeen or eighteen, so it’s not surprising that I got married a little early.”
Song Lan smiled and said, "Besides, I got married after I came of age, which complies with the current Marriage Law of our country."
"That's not what I meant, Comrade Song, please don't take offense. I just think that with your qualifications and age, you should wait at least a few years before getting married."
To avoid Song Lan misunderstanding, Wei Shengli hurriedly explained.
"Comrade Wei, there's no need to be nervous. I know you didn't mean anything by it."
