"Don't worry, I haven't misunderstood. I just want you to know that you can completely trust my character, and please also trust Comrade Song's character. If Comrade Song knew what you were thinking, I'm afraid he wouldn't steam egg custard for you anymore."
It was finally Wu Dong's turn to tease Qin Yanzheng.
His handsome face flushed red, the blush creeping up his neck and down to his ears. Qin Yanzheng coughed repeatedly in embarrassment.
After a long pause, he said to Wu Dong, "You are an excellent soldier with a meticulous mind. I only said a few words, and you directly exposed my secrets. I am ashamed, I am truly ashamed now!"
Wu Dong smiled broadly: "I understand Comrade Qin." Comrade Song is such a good person. As her husband, it would be strange if he wasn't nervous, especially since he is unable to move around easily and is blind!
"I am not as open-minded as you."
Upon hearing Qin Yanzheng's words, Wu Dong responded, "To be honest, I don't think so. Comrade Qin just cares too much about Comrade Song, and thus can't help but overthink things. And this precisely shows that Comrade Qin has Comrade Song in his heart."
He stood up, his deep voice tinged with amusement: "Kindergarten is about to let out, I have to pick up Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, so I won't chat with Comrade Qin any longer."
"Thank you for your trouble." Qin Yanzheng nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!"
"Comrade Qin, there's no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, Wu Dong left the room and went to the kitchen door: "Comrade Song, I'm going to pick up Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan paused in her chopping motion, turned to look at Wu Dong, and smiled: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Comrade Wu. We'll have braised noodles for lunch today."
"Comrade Song can do anything."
Wu Dong replied, greeted Song Lan, and then walked away.
After making the tomato and egg sauce, Song Lan rolled out the noodles. Before Wu Dong brought Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu back, she cooked a batch of noodles for Qin Yanzheng.
"We're having braised noodles for lunch, but I didn't rinse your noodles."
Carrying a bowl of noodles, Song Lan entered Qin Yanzheng's room and said something to him. Before Qin Yanzheng could respond, the voice of the adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, came from the courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, where are you? Xiao Wu is back!"
"It's here!"
Song Lan smiled and responded loudly.
"Oh, so your sister-in-law is in your brother's room. Little Six, let's go wash our hands at the tap first, then go to your brother's room to visit him." Clearly, the adorable Little Five was talking to her younger sister, Little Six.
Wu Dong walked in from outside: "Comrade Song, I'll feed Comrade Qin. You go and do your work."
Before Song Lan could speak, the rice bowl was already in Wu Dong's hands.
"Okay, I'll go downstairs then."
As Song Lan's footsteps faded away, Qin Yanzheng spoke: "You're getting revenge on me." He used a declarative sentence.
Wu Dong understood what he meant, but denied it outright: "Comrade Qin has misunderstood me. I was just feeding you, I had no other intentions."
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
Qin Yanzheng frowned slightly.
"Then there's nothing I can do."
The implication is clear: if you don't believe me, then don't; I have a clear conscience.
Qin Yanzheng curled his lips into a smile: "Cunning."
Wu Dong smiled but didn't say anything.
"I'll do it myself."
Feeling embarrassed to be fed by a grown man, Qin Yanzheng slowly raised his hand to take the bowl and chopsticks from Wu Dong's hand.
"Is Comrade Qin sure he'll get to eat it?"
Wu Dong raised an eyebrow.
Sensing the doubt in his tone, Qin Yanzheng said, "It's not like it'll end up in your nose or eyes."
"Oh well."
Wu Dong handed the bowl and chopsticks to Qin Yanzheng, watching from the side to make sure that he could take care of Qin Yanzheng's needs in a timely manner.
In the kitchen, Song Lan cooked the noodles and rinsed them briefly before calling the children, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, to prepare for dinner.
"Sister-in-law, let me take the bowl."
"I'll get the chopsticks."
The two little ones came to the kitchen. One reached out to pick up a bowl, and the other reached out to grab chopsticks. Seeing this, Song Lan naturally wouldn't refuse the two little ones' help.
Be careful.
Three empty bowls were stacked together and handed to Tuanzi Xiaowu by Song Lan.
"Sister-in-law, there aren't enough bowls."
Xiao Liu had already left with a pair of chopsticks, but Tuanzi Xiao Wu stood still and said, "Besides my eldest brother, there are six people in our family, but my sister-in-law only gave me three empty bowls."
"You're quite good at math."
Song Lan smiled and said, "I was afraid you would fall, so I didn't let you carry too much."
Tuanzi Xiaowu: "Oh, I see!"
"So what do you think it is?"
Song Lan asked with a smile.
"I didn't think so. I just felt that I was very strong and could definitely lift six bowls," Tuanzi Xiaowu replied. Just then, Qin Boyan pushed his bicycle into the yard: "Sister-in-law, I'm back."
"The food is ready. Go wash your hands. Your sister-in-law will bring the basin to the table right away."
Song Lan responded.
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
Tuanzi Xiaowu carried three empty bowls out of the kitchen, not forgetting to call out to Song Lan, her sister-in-law, to follow.
"Coming right away."
Song Lan picked up a basin and came out of the kitchen. She looked at Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin and said, "We're having braised noodles for lunch today. It's tomato and egg braised sauce. Wash your hands and go to the kitchen to get three more bowls. Bring the sauce over with you."
"knew."
Qin Boyan replied.
Qin Yaxin responded, "Okay."
After Song Lan left, Qin Boyan said to Qin Yaxin, "After we finish eating, let's wash the dishes and pots. Don't just put down the bowl and go straight back to your room."
"You don't need to emphasize that."
Qin Yaxin responded irritably.
"You'd better behave yourself, or you'll be in for a scolding from your older brother."
Qin Boyan issued a warning.
"I'm already changing, Second Brother, can't you say less in front of me?" Qin Yaxin frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction: "Everyone grows up eventually, can you please stop looking at me with such old eyes?!"
"If you had fewer ulterior motives, I naturally wouldn't be constantly reminding you."
Qin Boyan took a towel from the clothesline to wipe the water off his hands, then went into the kitchen without looking back. A moment later, he came out with a bowl of braised meat and looked at Qin Yaxin: "Remember to bring three empty bowls."
However, Qin Yaxin didn't say anything, but after washing her hands, she didn't forget to go to the kitchen to get a bowl.
We enjoyed lunch together.
"Sister-in-law, you rest, my second sister and I will go wash the dishes."
After everyone had finished eating, Qin Boyan glanced at Qin Yaxin and quickly cleared away the dishes.
"What kind of looks are those two giving me?"
Noticing her younger siblings' gazes fixed on her, Qin Yaxin glared and said, "I'm part of the family, I can't just sit and wait to be eaten. Washing pots and pans isn't a big deal, I can finish it in a bit."
"Second sister, I didn't say anything."
Tuanzi Xiaowu expressed his displeasure, feeling bullied by his second sister for no reason. Was it because he was young?
Qin Yaxin pretended not to hear and turned her gaze to Song Lan: "Sister-in-law, when Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu get a little older, they'll have to wash the dishes and pots too."
"That's natural."
Song Lan laughed and said, "They still need to learn to cook. You older brothers and sisters will have to teach your younger brothers and sisters a lot."
