It's past midnight, you should go home and rest!
After Qin Yi left, Jian Dan yawned, shook her head, and waved her hand.
"I have to go to sleep now. Make yourself at home. The blankets are in the closet, you know that."
As he was about to leave, he turned back and said something else.
"If you need any more medicine, just call me."
As soon as I got back to the east room, I fell asleep instantly. No wonder, even if you're young, the bumpy car ride these past few days is too much for you.
Cheng Chao, on the other hand, was not so relaxed. Thinking about the events of the journey, about Xiao An who was sick, about the infirmary lacking medical supplies, about the helpless military doctor, and about those people who were eyeing him covetously, he really couldn't fall asleep for a while.
When Qin Qinghuai returned a while later, he met Cheng Chao's menacing gaze.
Jian Dan had no idea that the two men, after days of traveling, could still have a late-night conversation by candlelight. She slept soundly and didn't even know what she was dreaming about, which made her laugh out loud.
Unfortunately, the next day was a gloomy, rainy day with dim lighting. When Jian Dan woke up, she was still a little dazed, and it took her a while to realize that she was back in the family compound.
"Awake? Time to get out of bed and eat?"
"ah?"
"Still sleeping? Time to get up. It's already noon. You've already missed breakfast."
The first voice belonged to Qin Qinghuai, while the second voice, tinged with a hint of complaint, belonged to Cheng Chao. He glanced at the clock on the cabinet and, sure enough, it was twelve o'clock.
This is a bit too much.
Quickly straighten your hair, put on your coat, get out of bed, wash your face, and brush your teeth.
"Are you all off work? Why didn't you wake me up this morning?"
Cheng Chao was being sarcastic and unsettling.
"Isn't it because someone can't bear to part with you? They didn't sleep all night, and were afraid of waking you up. There was someone at home early in the morning, so they locked the door and went to work."
Simple felt a warmth in her heart, smiled at her man, and then turned to argue with her brother.
Are you envious of me, or jealous that I have someone who cares for me?
"you!"
Cheng Chaoqi pointed at her, unsure of what to say.
"You're something else, now you have the nerve to say anything."
"snort!"
I won a small round, feeling simple and happy, and ended up eating two more steamed buns, leaving the table patting my stomach.
"That's all you've got!"
After the meal, Jian Dan finally asked about the three professors.
"How are they making arrangements? What's the progress of the land reclamation?"
"There are work points. Although the family members complained, the work was not delayed. A lot of wasteland behind the family compound has been cleared out. We plan to set aside a piece for breeding. We are studying vegetable greenhouses for winter in this area near the foot of the mountain. Further away, we have started planting crops."
As for whether to plant grains or vegetables, we'll have Professor Wei and Professor Yu go over and take a look tomorrow if it's sunny. They're quite knowledgeable in this area.
I glanced briefly outside, then looked at the seedlings covering the ground.
"When will this rain stop? I was thinking of setting up a small shed to move all the seedlings out. If we wait a few more days until it gets warmer, we won't need a shed and we can transplant them directly."
This was a field unfamiliar to both men, and they didn't offer any opinions.
"Take a look at what's needed for that shed. We'll go get it when we have time, and then we'll see if we need it or not."
After saying that, Cheng Chao knew he was a bit silly, and gently patted his mouth.
"Pah! You pig brain."
Plastic sheeting and bamboo blanks, right? We'll go get the bamboo for you this afternoon when we're free. Do you have the plastic sheeting? If not, I'll have them bring it over.
"Oh dear, my aunt should be here soon, right?"
The two of them were still reeling from the jargon the three professors had taught them that morning, and had completely forgotten about Tang Sumei. Cheng Chao turned and walked out.
"I'll go take a look."
"No need to rush, I've sent Qin Yi to pick her up. But I guess Second Aunt will have to go to the clinic to see the patient first before she can come over."
Cheng Chao paused,
"That's why everyone says you're an old fox; there's nothing you can't think of."
At this hour, people are probably eating at the cafeteria. What's on the menu for lunch today?
Radish soup and steamed buns made with a mixture of wheat and water.
Qin Yi wouldn't take his second aunt over. He'd come over in a bit and make her some hot noodles so she could warm them up first. He'd make whatever she wanted for dinner later.
"Hey, you?"
Cheng Chao stared wide-eyed.
"The dough you just kneaded, was it waiting here? Wow, you're really something, you even kept it from me."
Jian Dan also looked over and thought about how thoughtful and meticulous this man was. Even she and her nephew and niece Cheng Chao hadn't expected that he would have prepared everything in advance, and even did it himself.
"You haven't slept all night, and you're still thinking about these things. Aren't you sleepy? Aren't you tired?"
Qin Qinghuai chuckled.
"You think I'm some kind of clay doll? My body isn't that fragile. I've recovered quite a bit over the years. It's just that I might be a little weaker compared to someone with a good constitution like Brother Chao, but I'm not so bad as to be exhausted from staying up all night."
Don't worry!
To be honest, it's simple, but it also makes me feel a little heartbroken.
To be honest, after being married for so long, he has been impeccable as both a husband and a political commissar at work. His attitude and actions are almost perfect in every aspect. She herself didn't even realize that she is much more comfortable speaking and acting now than she was in Liujiatun. For example, her occasional coquettishness, which she herself didn't even notice, is an unconscious reaction in an environment of extreme trust and relaxation.
In other words, she has unconsciously become accustomed to and accustomed to this man's thoughtfulness and consideration, a fact that this silly girl probably doesn't even realize herself.
Cheng Chao watched coldly as the young couple started getting all lovey-dovey again. Although it was a bit annoying, if they could keep going like this, he really wouldn't have any complaints about his brother-in-law.
