Ye Qingqing, who originally wanted to say thank you to Tian Yuzhu, saw that the young couple had no eyes for anyone else, so she quickly picked up An Feier and left.
Shi Zhentang then walked into the courtyard. His wife did not come up to hug him as she usually did after parting, and he felt a little disappointed.
But he understood her hesitation, and a smile appeared on his thin lips. He took the initiative to walk over with his long legs and pulled the person he had been thinking about into his arms.
He hugged her tightly, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, wishing he could embed her into every inch of his flesh and blood.
"Zhen...Zhentang."
This warm hug made Tian Yuzhu excited, tears welling up in her eyes: "I have something to tell you."
"Come in."
He held her slender waist and went straight into the house.
He casually closed the door with his foot, lowered his head and was about to kiss the little woman in his arms...
"Zhentang, listen to me." Tian Yuzhu quickly put her hand on his chin and said, "There are some things we must face. Let's have a good talk, okay?"
Shi Zhentang had no choice but to let her go, but the love in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"Okay, but I'm hungry now. Can you give me a bowl of noodles first?"
"Uh, okay, then you take a rest first."
Speaking of hunger, Tian Yuzhu came to his senses. Yes, he certainly hadn't had enough to eat in Gai Village these days.
Given his temper, he would definitely give food to the common people first.
Tian Yuzhu quickly cheered up, put aside her wild thoughts and worries, and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Then he quickly lit the fire, put in a bowl of noodles, two poached eggs, and blanched some bok choy.
Soon, a bowl of beautiful fried egg noodles was ready.
But when she brought it to the small table, she found that the man had returned to the bedroom and fallen asleep on the bed.
Looking at Shi Zhentang's thin face and unshaven beard, he looks a bit wild and distressing.
One of his hands was injured. I wonder how he managed to hold on these days. He must have been extremely tired, so he fell asleep without waiting to fill his stomach.
Sighing, Tian Yuzhu did not disturb him. She gently covered him with a thin quilt, got up and closed the door. She went to the outer room to concentrate on her needlework.
Who would have thought that Shi Zhentang slept until the next morning and woke up at noon.
After getting up, I found that there was no one around me, so I quickly put on my clothes and walked to the outer room. I saw porridge and hot steamed buns on the stove, plus two boiled eggs.
There was a note next to it: I'm helping cook in the military tent, please have a good rest after breakfast.
The handwriting is beautiful and neat, and you can't tell at all that the person can't write.
Shi Zhentang took the note and looked at it again and again. He had seen the words his wife wrote stroke by stroke. These words in front of him could not be written without some basic skills.
He couldn't help but feel a hint of worry in his eyes. Without thinking too much, he threw the note into the stove and burned it.
After breakfast, I went to the guesthouse to take a shower, changed into a clean military uniform, and reported to the military office feeling refreshed.
"Zhentang, didn't I tell you when I came back yesterday that you had to have a good rest and not go anywhere?"
Wen Jiangong was very pleased to see that he had brought back all the soldiers. Now that he was still injured, he ordered him to rest.
Shi Zhentang nodded slightly: "Let me report the specific situation of the Gayi Mountains."
The terrain, roads and mountains there are quite complicated and cannot be described clearly on a single note. He also has many ideas about the future reconstruction of the villages in the Gayi Mountains and he wants to talk to the political commissar and the regiment commander about it.
Wen Jiangong and Zhang Yuejin wanted him to rest, but they couldn't help but become more and more interested in listening. Before they knew it, the three of them started chatting.
On the other side...
Tian Yuzhu, who was busy, yawned tiredly. Last night, in order not to disturb Shi Zhentang's sleep, she lay down on the small table and took a nap after finishing her needlework.
Now the two dark circles under my eyes are particularly obvious, and I look more haggard than a few days ago.
The military wives saw this and stopped teasing her. In the past, they would have said that a short separation is better than a new marriage, and the couple would have tossed and turned all night.
It is a disaster now, and the man has just been evacuated from the front.
Even the strongest man needs to take a break, not to mention that Shi Zhentang was injured.
Wang Xiudi asked with concern, "Yuzhu, you two didn't have a fight last night, did you?"
"No!" Tian Yuzhu pulled herself back from her trance, suddenly realizing why her sisters-in-law were concerned about her. She quickly smiled and said, "To be honest, sisters-in-law, Zhentang was really tired. He fell asleep as soon as he entered the house last night. In order not to disturb him, I stayed up all night doing needlework in the outer room."
"So that's how it is. Captain Shi and his men really had a hard time this time."
"I heard the epicenter of this earthquake was in the Gayi Mountains!"
"How serious is that? It's so scary even though we're so far away."
"I heard that a lot of people were buried."
“…”
Everyone's heart became heavy. No one could stop natural disasters or man-made disasters from happening.
Especially Tian Yuzhu, whenever she encountered such a thing, it was impossible for her not to feel guilty and annoyed.
Sometimes she particularly hated her ability to foresee the future, because even with foresight, she couldn't save everyone.
"Sister-in-law, are you done?"
A calm and distinguished voice suddenly attracted the attention of all the military wives.
He was tall and handsome, with a cool temperament. His dark eyes, filled with a smile, made anyone's heart beat fast when he saw them.
This cold-faced soldier is really handsome. Loving beauty is human nature, and the military wives couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
Feng Chun was even more itchy, she dreamed of owning this man.
Wang Xiudi immediately raised her voice: "Zhentang, you're back? You've worked hard!"
"Not bad." Shi Zhentang curled his lips slightly: "Sister-in-law, I want to ask for a leave for Yuzhu."
"Of course, hey Yuzhu, what are you still standing there for? Come on, go back with Zhentang. It's been a long time since you last saw each other. Let's go back and have a good chat."
That’s great!
Wang Xiu Di happily stepped forward to make arrangements, and also gave Tian Yuzhu a push.
When I get older, I like to watch young people show their love.
Tian Yuzhu was a little surprised at first. She didn't expect him to come here to find her. When she heard that he wanted to ask for leave for her, she was a little stunned.
What does this man want to do?
But she figured it out the next second, and it seemed like he was ready to talk.
OK!!!
She took off her apron and said, "Then I'll go back first, sisters-in-law."
"Go, go!"
"You don't need to come today. We can handle it. Just come over to get the steamed buns when it's time to eat."
As soon as he saw Tian Yuzhu approaching, Shi Zhentang lovingly took her little hand, turned around and stretched out his long legs to lead the way. His broad back made people feel safe.
This scene made all the military wives feel jealous again. They opened their eyes wide and almost drooled: "..."
I thought about that damn guy at home. He is not as handsome as Captain Shi, he doesn’t know how to be romantic, and he doesn’t know how to pamper his wife.
Alas, as women themselves, they can only envy!
