At this time the moon had not yet come out, only the sky was full of twinkling stars, and the sound of cicadas and frogs could be heard in the night wind, which was very pleasant.

Ignore the annoying mosquitoes.

Han Qingsong walked with big steps, and she couldn't keep up with him after they walked out of the courtyard. He didn't mean to wait for her, and walked ahead with big strides, and disappeared in a moment!

Lin Lan originally wanted to take advantage of the beautiful night to chat with him about life, but in the end... it was such a waste of such a beautiful starry night.

By the time they reached the cabin, Lin Lan was already out of breath and couldn't help but complain, "Can't you walk slower?"

Han Qingsong was surprised and asked, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Lin Lan: ...

"Didn't you ask me to come along?" This man is so boring.

Han Qingsong: "I said I would clean it up. It's dirty."

Forget it. She didn't want to argue with him. She felt that this man really couldn't speak. She didn't know if he was born like that or just not good at expressing himself.

Han Qingsong lit the oil lamp and placed it in the lamphole. He already knew what was going on here and there.

Lin Lan looked around, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she looked around, fiddling here and there.

Lin Lan: “Tell me what’s going on!” She was muttering to herself.

Han Qingsong looked at her: "Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I want to hear about the house I'm going to live in."

Do the men in your family, no, do the men in your entire village, have no habit of discussing problems with their wives?

This is obviously a family issue, so why do your own grumblings count?

This is really the usual behavior of local men. They don't like to discuss things with women.

Han Qingsong didn't expect that she wanted to hear this, so he told her to make a hollow shed on the roof. First, use reed strips to tie the frame, and then use mats or something else as the hollow shed. The wall surrounding the kang also needs to be treated, otherwise it will get damp and the wall will peel off. If conditions permit, you can just nail bamboo mats on it, which is beautiful and clean.

"There is a kind of summer cloth that can be used to paste windows in the summer. It allows air to pass through but mosquitoes cannot get in. It can also be used as a mosquito net."

Hearing him talking about mosquitoes, Lin Lan subconsciously pinched the lump on her neck. This mosquito was so damn fierce, like an old lady, nagging non-stop, and it still itches now.

It would be nice to have a mosquito net.

There were only two mosquito nets in the old Han family, both of which were given to the younger sister-in-law and brother-in-law. The mosquito nets of the first and second wives were dowries. The original owners' families were extremely poor and had no dowry at the time, so naturally there were no mosquito nets.

Not only did she have no dowry, but she was also wearing Korean clothes, which was really shabby.

This is also one of the reasons why the old lady and Han's second sister-in-law looked down on the original owner.

The original owner also had a mosquito net later, which Han Qingsong secretly gave to her from the army.

However, the original owner wanted to compete with her third sister and bring it back to her parents' home to save face, so she and her children were useless and were bitten every year.

"Very good." Lin Lan was very happy.

Han Qingsong stopped talking again.

The narrow room, although without furniture, was not spacious either. With dim lighting and being a single man and a single woman, Lin Lan felt a little nervous.

She quickly found a topic to talk about, "Um, do you really want to change your career?"

Han Qingsong turned his head to look at her, his dark eyes like a bottomless pit that made people panic, "Didn't you insist that I change my career?"

Lin Lan swallowed her saliva. Yes, it’s me, it’s me, it’s still me! I’ll take the blame for the original owner!

"Well, can you not transfer to civilian life? I now feel that... it's good to join the army." Her voice was a little weak. After all, the original owner had done everything she could to force Han Qingsong to transfer to civilian life, even threatening to die. This was the only way to prevent Han Qingsong from marrying up and divorcing her.

"It's too late." Han Qingsong said.

Lin Lan's heart tightened. He wasn't blaming her, was he? But his tone was calm, not like he was angry or complaining. According to the plot, he was disheartened. So was this a regret?

"Why is it late? Haven't you submitted the application yet? The leader asked you to think about it, and you..." Before she could finish, Lin Lan bit her tongue. She was so anxious that she became confused. How could she tell the story?

It’s all because of his strong aura, which makes people feel too oppressive.

She is under a lot of pressure.

Han Qingsong looked at her with inquiring and focused eyes.

Lin Lan coughed and said, "Well, since you didn't tell the old lady that you're dead, that means you have room for maneuver."

According to Han Qingsong's style, if he really wanted to change his career, he would have said it decisively and clearly. This attitude clearly shows that he had considered it.

Han Qingsong was even more surprised. When did she become understanding?

"If you follow the army, you won't be afraid?"

Lin Lan: “What are you afraid of?” She would be afraid at home, afraid that she would not be able to control herself and beat the old lady to death!

Han Qingsong didn't say anything, but he curled the corners of his lips, and the meaning of that was somewhat intriguing.

Lin Lan suddenly realized why. The original owner was afraid that he would divorce his wife and marry another.

Of course I'm not afraid, it's a divorce, what's there to be afraid of, divorce is good, it would be best to arrange a job for her, then she can...

She was just dreaming when suddenly her vision darkened and Han Qingsong stood in front of her.

The distance was a bit close, and the strong masculine aura on his body rushed towards her with an overwhelming momentum, which made her feel overwhelmed. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "Let's talk nicely. Don't get excited."

Han Qingsong said in a low voice, "Have you ever seen me excited?"

Really not.

Even though "she" secretly carried Sanwang to the army to complain, made a scene in the army compound, suspiciously tried to catch a fox, and became a laughing stock of the whole army, he still spoke to her in a kind voice, not getting excited at all, and he didn't beat or scold her, and he didn't even blame her.

In this way, although he looks cold and serious, he is actually gentle to others. He is not like some men who look kind but end up scolding or beating their wives.

"Haha." She laughed dryly.

My aura is too weak, I need to fight back and not be suppressed by him.

She cleared her throat and said, "It's because you didn't do it well. If you did it well and gave me a sense of security, I could still..."

"What does it mean to be in place? To give you a sense of security?" Han Qingsong looked at her solemnly.

He had thick brows and deep eyes, and he never smiled. He looked stern when he looked at people, and at this moment his eyes were even more cold and intimidating.

Lin Lan didn't dare to look him in the face. "Look, there are so many beautiful female soldiers in your army, as well as beautiful female nurses and doctors in the army hospital. I heard that many of them are interested in you. Besides, you didn't promise to live a happy life with me..."

"I said that if a woman gave birth to children for me, Han Qingsong, I would protect her for the rest of her life, no matter what mistakes she made. Don't you remember?"

Lin Lan thought about it and seemed to have said this before, but the original owner didn't remember it clearly, and she misinterpreted it as protecting her for a lifetime out of guilt and a promise to protect her after the divorce, so of course she wouldn't do it.

The original owner had a characteristic, she was easily stuck in a rut, no matter what he said, she believed that he was good-looking and promising, and countless beautiful women in the army wanted him. She heard that a cadre's daughter had taken a fancy to Han Qingsong, and might want Han Qingsong to divorce or something.

Lin Lan felt that she could still fight back. "I didn't understand this problem clearly, and I was wrong. But you don't understand the situation at home. I have a conflict with the old lady, and you can't blame me entirely. I'm raising five children at home, so of course I want to have a few dollars in my hand to buy something to comfort the children."

"Do I blame you?" Han Qingsong became more and more confused.

Seeing that he was so innocent, Lin Lan began to reflect on himself again. He really had never blamed anyone. This time when the old lady and Han's second sister-in-law complained, he did not listen to them and did not blame them.

To be honest, it seems that the original owner had never been blamed in the past.

But including the time we were married, he only comes back once every two or three years? Sometimes he stays for five days, sometimes he stays for just one night. It would be strange if he could know anything.

Lin Lan was still puzzled. With such limited number of contacts, probably less than five times, they actually had five children. That was... really a sure thing.

She was unwilling to fail. If she lost in the first round, she would be suppressed by him all the time.

"It's just wrong. You gave all the allowance to them, but why do the children and I get nothing? Don't the children want to go to school? Don't they want to save money to get married in the future?" Lin Lan threw out her trump card.

"You wanted to collect the money, but your name was added later? Half for each of us?"

That time he went to the Sino-Indian border to perform a mission, and was seriously injured in order to save his own team. He returned to the provincial military hospital to recuperate, and received a call from Lu Jinxiu. He said that his family had sent him several telegrams, and his wife was making a fuss at home for money, and if she didn't get it, she would jump into the river to commit suicide. So he asked Lu Jinxiu to tell the logistics department to send two copies, but later the logistics department was too troublesome and directly put both names on one remittance slip, so that each of them could get half.

"You did say that, but the old lady wouldn't give it to me."

When the remittance slip came, the old lady went to collect it. Although the original owner wanted to withdraw the money, she didn't dare to confront the old lady head-on, so she wanted to make a fuss and then let the old lady give her the money on her own initiative. How could the old lady be so kind?

Han Qingsong looked at her, and although he didn't say anything, Lin Lan automatically interpreted: How did you take it this time?

Oh my god, she had said before that Han Qingsong had low EQ and was silly, so why was he waiting for her here step by step?

The original owner didn’t talk about reason before, so he didn’t know. Now that he is talking about reason seriously, he actually…

"What's the point of you saying you bully a woman?" Lin Lan decided to play tricks. "You were wrong in the first place. My name was added to it. Why don't you just send two copies and each of you get one? Can a husband and wife still reason with each other? Winning doesn't necessarily mean glory."

In order to save face, she snorted, turned around and left, not wanting to argue with him anymore.

Han Qingsong: “…”

When Lin Lan went out, she met some children who were out catching cicada turtles.

Sanwang followed Dawang and ran around everywhere, and Lin Lan couldn't stop him even if she called out to her.

"Mom, my brother and I are going to sleep at Zhuzi's house. You don't have to worry about us."

I don’t want to think about you naughty kids!

Lin Lan went home angrily, and Xiaowang had already fallen asleep hugging a torn towel.

Mai Sui looked aggrieved, "Mom, who lost Maomao to Xiaowang? He just cried so hard that it shook the earth. He insisted that someone killed his Maomao and he would not sleep until he found him."

Lin Lan: ...Can't you just be quiet?

Maomao is just a torn handkerchief, so torn that you can't even tell its color or pattern, it's full of holes and bumps.

That is Xiaowang’s Maomao. If his mother is not there to coax him to sleep at night or noon, Maomao must be there.

Typical fetish.

Lin Lan didn't interfere much, as it would be fine as long as he grew up.

Who knew that Han Qingsong was unaware of this. When he returned to the room to wash his hands before dinner today, he saw it and thought it was a rag, so he washed it and hung it on the windowsill outside.

Originally he was diligent, but Lin Lan framed him when she was angry. Even though she had five children, she didn't understand the personality of any of them!

But rationally speaking, he had been a soldier for so many years and had gone through countless life and death situations, so it was understandable. As a rational modern person, she still had great respect for the military.

But it's easy to say that as a soldier's family member who does not follow the army, only they themselves know the bitterness.

When Han Qingsong came back, he went to the main house and talked to the old lady. The old lady was upset and said on the signboard that she wanted to change her career, but he refused to coax her. She was so angry that her head hurt and she went to bed early.

Han Qingsong returned to the house and found that the children were sleeping in the middle, with there being an empty space at the head and end of the kang. He hesitated for a moment.

Does this mean that I have to sleep on the kang?

Just as he was about to get on the kang, Lin Lan sat up suddenly, picked up Xiaowang and put him next to her.

Lin Lan snorted and ignored him and just lay down.

Han Qingsong: “…”
