Chen Xi drank a big bowl of ginger tea. As the hot tea went down her stomach, Shuying felt that her man's tired face looked much better.
Shuying hurriedly asked the man to eat the noodles and dumplings while they were hot.
Chen Xi was indeed hungry. He had been soaking in water all day for the past few days to put out disaster relief. Not only did he have no time to eat, but when he ate occasionally, they were just the whole grain biscuits he brought with him.
Besides, his wife is a great cook, so he didn't say much when he smelled the delicious food. He sat down at the table and started eating noodle dumplings.
Probably he was really hungry this time, because Shuying saw the man eating without even raising his head, and he didn't even complain about the blandness or ask her for chili.
It would be better to eat something light. This man probably hasn't eaten much in the past few days, and his stomach probably can't handle the sudden spicy food.
While the man was eating noodles, Shuying took out the pot of heated ginger water and a basin, poured the ginger water into the basin, and let the man eat while drinking.
"My sister-in-law said that soaking your feet can keep away the cold!" The shadow of the tree made the man take off his shoes and socks.
Chen Xi's eyebrows softened, and he swallowed the word "no" back into his mouth. He wanted to take off his shoes and socks, but Shuying said bluntly: "You'd better not touch your feet while you eat! I'll do it!"
As she spoke, she squatted down and took off the man's shoes and socks.
This man has had a hard time these days, so she will serve him once. If this man still expects her to help him take off his shoes and socks in the future, she will hit him in the face with her shoes.
The man's gentle gaze never left her, and his cold brows softened completely.
After taking off the man's shoes and socks, Shuying went to wash his hands.
After washing my hands, I sat opposite the man, resting my chin on my hand and watching him eat noodle dumplings. While looking at the sky outside, I felt that the rain seemed to have stopped.
The man finished the big bowl of noodles very quickly, without even any soup left. When eating dumplings, the man picked up a dumpling and fed it to his wife's mouth.
"I've brushed my teeth. I don't want to eat!" Shuying shook his head.
Seeing that she really didn't want to eat, Chen Xi continued to eat his dumplings. The dumplings were neither too big nor too small, just enough for him to eat one in one bite.
The big bowl of dumplings was eaten up quickly, without even a drop of soup left. Shuying really admired the man's appetite and asked him if he was still hungry.
Chen Xi said he was full, wiped his feet with a towel, put on his shoes, and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash.
She really didn't like washing dishes, so she let the man wash them himself.
After quickly washing the dishes and brushing his teeth, Chen Xi took his wife to bed.
Before going to bed, the man's head was still a little wet, so he wiped it with a towel. Shuying saw that the man looked tired and felt a little distressed, so he took the towel and wiped the man's head.
The man held her in his arms and sat her on his lap. His eyes never left her face, and they were particularly scorching.
She wasn't worried about the man getting horny tonight: "What's wrong? What's on my face?"
"Nothing, I just want to see my wife!" the man said softly.
This man has always been a down-to-earth and reserved person, and he has hardly ever said any sweet words. This sentence could barely be considered a sweet word. Shuying smiled and continued to wipe the man's hair.
The man had short hair, and it was dry in just a few minutes. In just those few minutes, the man actually fell asleep leaning on the back of the bed.
Under the light, the man had sunken eye sockets, tired brows, and chapped lips.
Shuying was so distressed that she was thinking about how to wake the man up and let him lie down to sleep when a quarrel suddenly broke out next door.
She could faintly hear Xia Lina's voice. Deputy Captain Fang had just returned from the disaster relief mission tonight. How could a couple start a quarrel?
Chen Xi also heard the quarrel next door and immediately closed his eyes with a frown.
Fortunately, the quarrel between Deputy Tuan Fang and his wife soon died down, and Shuying quickly let her husband lie down and sleep.
She also took off her clothes and got into the bed. The warm bed was so comfortable, but her man was too cold.
Fortunately, the man had a strong firepower and soon his body was as hot as a heater. Chen Xi took his wife into his arms and held her to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, the rain outside had stopped.
In the past few days, due to heavy rain, the first floor of the school was flooded and classes were not available. Teachers and students were on holiday these days.
This morning, her husband didn't get up either, and he slept very soundly, looking much better.
Chen Yi went to bed early and got up early, looking at her with his big round eyes.
She didn't have to go to class this morning and wanted to stay in bed, so she slept with her child for another half an hour before getting up.
In the morning, as the child wanted to eat meat-stuffed steamed bun, she didn't make it, so she decided to just give up on eating meat for every meal.
For breakfast, she made very delicious sauce-flavored pancakes, poured out a small bowl of meat floss, and cooked porridge to eat with it. While cooking the porridge, she wanted to pickle century eggs and salted eggs.
Salted eggs are especially delicious with porridge. As for century eggs, they are good when eaten alone with sauce. Boiled century eggs, lean meat or pork ribs porridge are all especially delicious. My husband and children will definitely love it.
When Shuying was making breakfast, the greedy Chen Yi followed her like a little tail.
The soy-flavored biscuits were freshly baked and were too spicy, so Shuying tore off a small piece and stuffed it into the little boy's mouth. Chen Yi ate it with great relish, and his little mouth was full of greasy tears: "Auntie, this biscuit is so delicious!"
"As long as it tastes good, we'll eat it on the table later!" The shadow of the tree gently pinched the boy's cheek.
Chen Yi nodded obediently.
By the time she finished making breakfast, the man had woken up.
After washing up, the family of three sat down to eat breakfast.
The two men, one big and one small, enjoyed the fragrant bean curd with porridge. Chen Xi was very satisfied with the breakfast.
Not only is the sauce cake delicious, but the meat floss is also very good.
Not only do the children love it, Chen Xi also eats a lot of it.
Shuying had no appetite, so she ate a bowl of porridge and gave the rest of the porridge and soy sauce cakes to her husband and children.
After breakfast, the man went out.
Shuying asked her husband to help post the letter she had written to her parents' and husband's families two days ago. After her husband went out, she hurried to check on the vegetables she had planted. After a few days of heavy rain, the vegetables that had just grown in her vegetable garden were beaten to pieces. Chen Yi was more concerned about the strawberries and tomatoes that his aunt had planted for him. The newly grown vine seedlings had wilted.
Chen Yi felt so distressed.
Just this morning, Shuying tidied up the small vegetable garden, and Chen Yi stuck out his little butt and imitated his aunt in burying the soil for two vine seedlings.
At noon, her husband didn't come back, so she took the children to have lunch alone.
There was no celery at home, so she went to ask Mrs. Gao next door for some.
As soon as she knocked on the gate of Gao's courtyard, she met Xia Lina, who had just had a fight with someone unknown. She saw that Xia Lina had many scratches on her face and looked very ferocious. Shuying was startled.
Xia Lina had not expected to meet Yang Shuying at this moment. Not only had she lost money and face, but Yang Shuying also laughed at her. Xia Lina was so angry that her face turned blue. She glared at her and hated herself in her heart for not getting entangled with Yang Shuying, such a vixen and cunning man.
Xia Lina was extremely angry when she thought about the shameless female educated youth pestering her man.
Xia Lina's eyes rolled, and she suddenly stepped forward and said with sympathy, "Ms. Chen Tuan, why are you still here? Don't you know that your man is being harassed by a female educated youth named Huang? That female educated youth is so shameless. Chen Tuan saved her, and now she is yelling for Chen Tuan to take responsibility!"
As Xia Lina spoke, she told her the name of the female educated youth surnamed Huang, who was just walking towards the gate of the military area. She also said that she was going to settle a score with someone and could catch up with him.
Shuying paused, not completely believing her. He looked at her for a while and asked tentatively, "Comrade Xia, what's wrong with you? Could it be that Deputy Commander Fang has also been entangled by the female educated youth?"
Shuying's last words hit Xia Lina right in the throat. Xia Lina's face turned pale and she walked away cursing.
"Sister Yang, why are you here?" Mrs. Gao's voice came from behind.
"Sister-in-law, I came to your house to borrow some celery! Just a few pieces will do!" said Shuying.
Green vegetables are not valuable things, so Mrs. Gao asked her to wait here and went to the vegetable garden to pull out some celery.
When Shuying took the celery, Mrs. Gao was gossiping to her about how Vice-Captain Fang had gotten into trouble.
It is said that when Deputy Regiment Commander Fang was rescuing a disaster, he saved a female educated youth who was almost washed away by the flood.
Well, I don’t know what that female educated youth was thinking. This morning she went to the military region and said that Deputy Colonel Fang hugged her and touched her body. She wanted Deputy Colonel Fang to be responsible. If he didn’t, she would report him.
Tree Shadow: “…”
Mrs. Gao continued, "Originally, this matter could have been easily resolved by our military region, and that shameless female educated youth could have been sent away, but Xia Lina somehow found out about this, and she got furious, and rushed over to fight with the female educated youth named Huang! Not only did she pay the female educated youth dozens of dollars, but she also lost face! Deputy Commander Fang was furious!"
"Wait, sister-in-law, the female educated youth who is entangled with Deputy Regiment Fang is called Huang Xiaying?" Shuying asked.
"That's the name, what's the matter?" said Mrs. Gao.
Shuying immediately told Mrs. Gao what Xia Lina had just said, that is, Xia Lina said that there was a female educated youth named Huang Xiaying who was entangled with her man.
Xia Lina not only told her the name of the educated young woman, but also told her where she was, and told her to hurry and get rid of her. Mrs. Gao was stunned when she heard this: "What? Isn't that educated young woman entangled with Deputy Tuan Fang? How is she related to Tuan Chen?"
Mrs. Gao simply couldn't understand Xia Lina's train of thought.
Shuying understood it.
Her relationship with Xia Lina was not good to begin with, and she had just seen her in such a ferocious state, so she might have thought she was making fun of her.
Look, she deliberately made up these lies about her man to annoy her.
If she didn't believe it, it would not be a big loss for her. But if she believed her lies and really went after that female educated youth and played a dog-eat-dog role for her, it would be what she wanted.
Shuying has always felt that Xia Lina is not stupid. She has some smarts but she just doesn't use them in the right way. She is speechless about this.
