Yu Qianhe also came back. The sun was shining brightly today, and Yu's mother was airing out the quilts at home, walking back and forth up and down the stairs. Yu's father was working overtime today, so the four siblings had all gone home, leaving only Yu's mother alone. Yu Qianhe was worried, so he went back to help air them out, and now he's brought them back.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he ran into Wang Meixiang and Qin Fen. "Brother Yu, your wife really knows how to spend money. I buy more things in a year than she does in a single day. If you ask me, you should keep an eye on her, otherwise what will you do when you have children?"
Qin Fen chimed in, "Yes, Technician Yu, if you ask me, you should marry someone like Sister Meixiang. She's virtuous, thrifty, good at managing the household, and can even give birth to a son."
"Don't say that, I'm not that good." Wang Meixiang's proudest achievement was giving birth to three sons in a row, which was the first in the courtyard.
Yu Qianhe didn't want to pay any attention to such attempts to sow discord. "I earn money to spend on my wife. If my wife can't afford to buy something she wants, then that man is incompetent." After saying that, he left without paying any attention to the two of them.
Pushing open the door and seeing the living room filled with food, Yu Qian felt a surge of admiration for his wife. How did she manage to do all that?
"You're back! Come quickly and help me. I don't know where to start."
What did you buy?
"Okay, let me find it. These shoes, two pairs each, here, put them in the shoe cabinet. This is a basket, tie a few ropes to the kitchen beam and put this in the kitchen. And these, dried fruit, dried sweet potato, and spicy pickled radish."
When Qianhe put the things in the kitchen and came out again, his wife had already tidied up a whole bunch of things.
"Put these small stools under the table so they don't take up space. This is soapberry; you can use it to bathe, wash your hair, and wash your hands. Put one washstand up in the room, and the rest in the bedroom."
By the time the two finished getting ready, it was already five o'clock, so they quickly started cooking. Neither of them wanted to cook rice, so they just made noodles instead. They made a dry noodle dish with meat sauce, paired with the pickled and spicy radish they had bought that day, which was crisp, refreshing, and helped cut through the greasiness.
Liu Yun took a bath with soap pods that evening, and the bedroom was always filled with the fresh scent of soap pods.
After getting into bed that night, Yu Qianhe reached for Liu Yun's waist. Liu Yun suddenly sat up with a start, which startled Yu Qianhe.
"What's wrong?"
"Damn it! It's been over a month since I got married, and my period still hasn't come."
Yu Qian was completely confused. "What 'Auntie'? Didn't Auntie come on our wedding day?"
Upon hearing this joke, Liu Yun burst out laughing. "It's not about your period, it's that my period hasn't come yet."
"What do you mean?" Yu Qianhe still didn't understand.
"That means there are only two possibilities: either there's something wrong with my health, or I'm pregnant."
Yu Qian's mind went blank for a moment, "I'll ask for leave tomorrow! Let's go to the hospital to get checked out."
"Take the afternoon off! Go to work in the morning, then have lunch, and then go to the hospital."
Both of them suffered from insomnia that night. Yu Qian held Liu Yun tightly, his heart still uneasy.
