Su Ting was also chatting with someone about the family's financial power.

To be more precise, it should be Comrade Yu Xiaofang who was teaching Su Ting the experience of taking charge of the family finances.

Yu Xiaofang said: "They have a lot of money when they are in the army. They smoke cigarettes and eat a lot. Tens of dollars a month are gone. I have to ignore it. Old Hu always complains that I control him too strictly. He has to pinch pennies even to buy a pack of cigarettes. But he doesn't think about it. His salary is not low, but he has to support the elderly at home? He has to take care of the food and clothing of three children? And his brothers write to me every now and then to borrow money. I can lend it to them, but I haven't seen them pay it back in all these years. These are all places where money is spent!"

"You haven't told him these things?" Su Ting asked.

"Speak! Why don't you speak?" Yu Xiaofang sighed, "But what's the point of speaking? He doesn't know the value of firewood, rice, oil and salt because he is not in charge of the family. He listens to what he says today but forgets it tomorrow."

Su Ting gave her some advice: "How about letting him take care of the family for two months? Let him experience for himself how difficult life is?"

"No, no, with his extravagant personality, if I let him manage the household, he would probably spend money lavishly. Don't let me make a big hole," Yu Xiaofang waved her hand and changed the subject, asking, "Who manages your family's money?"

"We'll take care of it separately."

"Separate? How?"

"I take care of mine, he takes care of his. As for living expenses, he gives me one every month."

Yu Xiaofang yelled when she heard this: "Oh, we can't separate like this. It's so strange. Are you his nanny or his wife?"

How much money does He Dongchuan have in his bank account? How much money can Su Ting have on hand? One has a job and the other doesn't! If they manage things this way, doesn't it mean that all the financial power is in the hands of men?

Yu Xiaofang said, "I think you should have a good talk with your husband about this. In every family, women are the ones who manage the household and take the money. Since he married you and wants to live a good life with you, he can't just hold all the money in his hands. This is a matter of attitude. And think about it, if you have no money and you have to ask him for money, how can you stand up straight in the future?"

Su Ting did not consider these issues for a simple reason: she had been married for a short time and had always regarded He Dongchuan as a cohabitant and partner, so she did not think there was anything wrong with him giving her living expenses on time.

She had originally thought that if her manuscript was accepted, and she had a stable source of income, she would split the living expenses with He Dongchuan on a per capita basis, and she couldn't always take advantage of him. But if her manuscript wasn't accepted, she would just be more realistic and stop showing off.

But now that their relationship has changed, these things must be taken into consideration.

If you think about it carefully, what Yu Xiaofang said makes some sense.

She wasn't worried about asking He Dongchuan for money. She wasn't the only one in the family who needed to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. He should give her living expenses on time. If he didn't give her money on time, it was his fault. She wouldn't feel ashamed when asking for money.

But she really doesn't like to ask for favors from others. If it really comes to that, she will probably find life boring and want to divorce and run away.

Su Ting felt that although she was not greedy for He Dongchuan's money, if they really divorced they would divide the property clearly, but he could not completely remain silent, as this was a matter of attitude and trust.

But there is no need to be too strict about the time. They have just entered a new mode of getting along with each other. In addition, with He Dongchuan and He Yan, they must be cautious when considering the problem. It is normal to observe for a while.

Su Ting could understand, so she also planned to observe for a while, as a matter of reciprocity.

Because of the above thoughts, Su Ting did not ask about the salary issue during dinner. Since she did not ask, He Dongchuan did not say anything either. Only He Yan was chattering at the dinner table, talking about the May Day holiday.

May Day was designated as a legal holiday very early on, but there are not many days off, with only one day off on Labor Day.

In fact, it's not just May Day. There are not many festivals during this time, and generally there is only one day off. Only during the Chinese New Year can we have a few more days off, ranging from three to five to seven to eight days.

During this period, Su Ting and He Dongchuan always took He Yan to the city to play. He was a little wild-minded and wanted to go out to play during the May Day holiday. He even thought of a place: the city zoo.

Su Ting was free, so she didn't object and handed the question to He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan said: "I won't rest tomorrow. I have to go to the camp."

He Yan looked disappointed: "When will you have a holiday, Dad?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Then can we go to the zoo the day after tomorrow?"

"You don't have class the day after tomorrow?" Su Ting asked.

He Yan blinked his eyes and thought: "Can I ask for leave?"

Su Ting asked back: "Why don't you ask if you can go to heaven?"

She finally realized that children really should not be spoiled, because if they are spoiled, they will become more and more demanding.

For example, when He Yan went to the city for the first time, he was very excited just by strolling around. After only a few times, he started to specify places and even wanted to take time off to go out and play.

Tsk tsk.

He Yan obviously didn't think he was getting ahead of himself, and didn't understand the hidden meaning of Su Ting's words. He muttered, "I don't have wings, how can I fly to the sky?"

Su Ting: “…”

Because my holiday doesn't match up, I've cancelled my plan to go to the zoo tomorrow. As for whether I will go in the future and when I will go, we'll discuss it later.

Su Ting and He Dongchuan both felt that they should not indulge him too much.

After dinner, Su Ting washed the dishes while He Dongchuan helped He Yan with his homework. When they finished around eight o'clock, the three of them took turns taking a shower.

Su Ting washed first, and returned to her room after washing. It was too late to sleep, so she picked up a picture magazine and flipped through it. The picture magazine was newly published in the middle of the month. She saw it when she went to the bookstore in the city last time, so she bought a few copies and read them slowly.

She reads picture magazines very slowly. In addition to reading the stories, she also pays attention to the painting style and details. It takes her more than half an hour to finish one story.

At that time, the wattage of the light bulbs was not high, and the light was not bright. Staring at one thing for a long time would easily make your eyes blurry. In order to protect her eyes, Su Ting closed the picture book after reading this story, and rubbed her eyes with her hands.

After rubbing her eyes and preparing to turn on the light to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door. Su Ting paused and asked, "Who is it?"

"I." He Dongchuan said in a low voice.

Su Ting withdrew her hands and propped herself up. On her way out, she took out her underwear from the closet and said, "Wait a moment."

After putting on her underwear, a loose sweatshirt, and fixing her hair, Su Ting went over, opened the door, and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"I have something to tell you. Can I come in?" He Dongchuan lowered his head slightly and looked at her.

Su Ting thought about it, stepped aside and said, "Come in."

He Dongchuan walked into the master bedroom and looked up at the room.

Although he was the man of the house, he had never slept in the master bedroom all night, and it was even his first time entering this room at night.

The room was not big, about 10 square meters, with a three-door wardrobe against the wall, a bed in the middle, and a dressing table beyond that. But it was very clean, the floor was tidy, and there was nothing scattered on the dressing table.

He Dongchuan sat down beside the bed and asked, "Are you going to sleep?"

Su Ting nodded: "I was just about to go to bed, why are you coming over?"

"The salary is paid today." He Dongchuan said, raising the box in his hand.

Because Su Ting used an iron box to keep her money, when she saw the box in his hand, she immediately had a hunch, but then she thought it couldn't be such a coincidence.

She had just talked about financial power with Yu Xiaofang in the afternoon, and he came with a money box in the evening. He must have eavesdropped on their conversation to be able to do it so quickly, right?

Obviously this was impossible, as he was still in the camp when they talked about this.

Su Ting asked calmly, "How much was distributed?"

"One hundred and sixty-seven."

He Dongchuan opened the lid, revealing a bunch of large bundles of rubber bands inside. You don't need to count them, just looking at the thickness you can tell that there are more than 150 of them.

"This is the money I've saved over the years, plus this month's salary, the total is two thousand seven hundred and eighty-six," He Dongchuan said as he handed the money box to Su Ting, "I didn't count the bills, you count it yourself."

Su Ting was a little confused: "Give them all to me?"

"Well, I'll give it all to you. My salary is NT$130 and my allowance is NT$20. It's fixed every month and generally won't change unless you get promoted or assigned a task. I've given you all the industrial coupons I've issued before. These are the ones issued this month. You can use the rest of the miscellaneous coupons as you see fit. I don't smoke, so I usually give cigarette coupons to other people. I just gave two to Old Wu today, and the rest are all here."

"Wait, wait, speak slower."

Su Ting was busy counting the pile of money and bills thrown down by him. After listening to his long conversation, she felt dizzy and didn't know whether she should count the money first or the bills.

He Dongchuan smiled and said, "I have said everything I want to say. You can count the money slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

"I have to be anxious. I have to count the money in front of you," Su Ting poured out the contents of the iron box, picked up a bundle of money and began to count it. "Once the count is clear, I will record it in the account book. I will keep a record of how much I spend and how much I receive in the future... By the way."

Speaking of the account book, Su Ting remembered, put down the money she had just put down, got on the bed in her slippers, walked to the other side, opened the cabinet of the dressing table, took out the previous account book from it, handed it to He Dongchuan and said, "Take a look at this month's expenses. I didn't record the accounts for the first few days, and then I couldn't figure it out, so I recorded it from the beginning. The accounts should be clear enough."

He Dongchuan took the account book, turned to the latest page but didn't look at the account. He stared at the words and said, "Your handwriting is different from the one on the letter you sent back?"

Su Ting paused while counting the money, lowered her head, blinked, and asked calmly, "Is there a big difference?"

He Dongchuan pondered and said, "At first glance, they look different, but if you look closely, the handwriting habits are similar, but the handwriting in the account book looks neater, and you can see the traces of deliberate practice."

Su Ting heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She was indeed practicing intentionally, but not practicing the previous font. Instead, she was trying to integrate her writing habits with the original one. Otherwise, the two fonts would be completely unrelated and would easily arouse suspicion.

However, the handwriting in the letter she sent back was more similar to the original, while the handwriting on the account book was more in line with her own writing habits, so at first glance they looked different.

Su Ting smiled and said, "I am practicing calligraphy. It seemed a little off at first. Look at what I have written recently. Isn't it getting better and better?"

He Dongchuan looked down at the account book. Her handwriting at the beginning was indeed similar to the one in the letter, but there were changes almost every day. Just looking at the account book, she had practiced for less than a month to have her current handwriting, which was indeed a great improvement.

He Dongchuan nodded and asked casually, "Why did you write the old words in the letter you sent back?"

"It's such a big change. I'm afraid my brother won't recognize me and will think I hired someone to write it for me and misunderstand that I'm not doing well here."

"Your bad life on the island, what does that have to do with ghostwriting?" He Dongchuan didn't quite understand the logical connection.

Su Ting said confidently, "Think about it, it's not like I can't write, so why do I need someone to write a letter for me? Is it possible that they think that this letter was not my original intention at all, but was written by someone else because you were afraid that I would complain to them, so you deliberately cut off the connection between me and my family..."

"etc."

He Dongchuan interrupted Su Ting, rubbed his head and said, "Is your thinking too divergent?"

Su Ting thought that she had spent so many days thinking about how to reasonably interpret the changes in fonts, but if her imagination was not very creative, would she be worthy of her current job?

His face was still innocent: "Am I wrong?"

It cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said to be outrageous.

But thinking about it, it was also his fault. He was not good enough to her at the beginning. It was normal for her to have wild thoughts. So after thinking about it, He Dongchuan shook his head and said, "No, it's fine."

Su Ting smiled and said, "Yeah, I think it's good too. Then you continue to look at the account book and I will continue to count the money."

He Dongchuan nodded, but did not look at the account book seriously. He still had some trust in Su Ting and did not think that she would make false accounts to fool him. He held the account book and watched her count the money.

She was wearing an old cotton shirt to sleep. She must have worn it for several years. The collar was a little loose from washing, and a large area of ​​white skin could be seen under her collarbone.

His gaze first fell there, then moved upwards uncomfortably, passing over her slender neck and pointed chin, and fell on her lowered eyes.

As she was watching, she finished counting a bundle of money, tilted her upper body slightly to the right, picked up the pen on the bed, and fumbled around.

He Dongchuan handed the account book over. Su Ting took it, turned to the last page, wrote down a number, closed the pen, handed it to him, and continued counting the money.

He continued to look at her.

After counting for about ten minutes and then another five or six minutes, Su Ting confirmed that the large-denomination banknotes were the same as he said, but the total amount of the RMB notes was about ten yuan.

After counting the money, Su Ting got out of bed, opened the closet, took out her own money box, put the large sums of money together, and calculated the total amount to two thousand nine.

After counting, Su Ting cleared out her iron box, put the money in according to the face value, and then took out the small-denomination bills, taking out a total of fifty, put it aside and said, "This is for living expenses. Do you have any expenses on a daily basis?"

"There aren't any big expenses. My comrades occasionally eat and drink together, and sometimes I have to go to the city to make phone calls."

Su Ting thought of the phone bill she had spent on the previous trip to the market, and said, "The phone bill is charged separately. When you go to the market alone in the future, tell me and I'll give you the money directly. Is twenty yuan enough for dinner and drinks?"

She thought it was enough, and there should be more. However, she felt that the private money should not be controlled too strictly. After all, He Dongchuan was a battalion commander and he must have his own social circle. It would be inappropriate to search his pockets and find not a penny when he went out.

He Dongchuan realized that she was going to give him pocket money, so he nodded and said, "That's enough."

"Then I'll give you 20 yuan a month. This is for your personal expenses. If you want to buy clothes or shoes, just let me know and I'll give you the money." Su Ting paused and said, "Use it first. If it's not enough, we'll adjust it."

After that, Su Ting took off the cap of her pen and wrote down the total in the notebook. She then subtracted the living expenses and He Dongchuan's money, made a total account, handed it to him and said, "Take another look."

He Dongchuan glanced and said, "No problem."

"Then let's do this. These tickets..." Su Ting sorted them by category, picked up the cigarettes and asked, "Are we going to keep them at home?"

"Put it here first. I'll get it from you when I need it."

Su Ting nodded and put it, the regular bills, fifty yuan for living expenses, and the remaining bills for this month into the iron box given by He Dongchuan. The box was small and could be used as a coin box.

After closing the two iron boxes, the big one was put back into the closet, and the small one was put into the drawer of the dressing table. Su Ting turned around and saw He Dongchuan still sitting by the bed, looking a little hesitant.

The accounts were settled and the bills were sorted, so it was time for him to go back to bed.

But he didn't take the initiative to speak, and Su Ting, who had just taken more than two thousand from him, was also a little speechless. It seemed like he was destroying the bridge after crossing it?

But it was not a good idea to just sit there and do nothing. Su Ting made up her mind and said, "That..."

He Dongchuan and she spoke at the same time: "Have you thought about what I said before?"

Su Ting was stunned for a moment and asked, "What?"

He Dongchuan asked repeatedly: "What do you think about me moving back to the master bedroom?"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous. Su Ting's cheeks were flushed with heat. She lowered her head and said, "How could you think about it so quickly?"

"It's been almost half a month." He Dongchuan reached out and held Su Ting's hand, pulled her in front of him and whispered, "During this time, I have been thinking about this matter every day, over and over again. What about you?"

It's a foul!

Su Ting screamed in her heart, lowered her eyes and dared not look at him, and said without any confidence: "I'm thinking about it."

He Dongchuan lowered his voice and continued to ask: "Then can I sleep here today?"

Su Ting: “…”

Just now, when he handed in the deposit and she was about to catch up, she felt a little guilty for crossing the river and then destroying the bridge. Now Su Ting found that it was unnecessary, because her speed of destroying the bridge could not catch up with He Dongchuan's speed of climbing up the ladder.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, He Dongchuan said shamelessly: "Just now I said I came to you, Xiaoyan asked me if I didn't have to sleep with him anymore."

"Why does he ask that?"

"Ever since he found out that other people's parents sleep together and only we sleep in separate rooms, he's been very angry. He complains that I take up too much space and keep him awake at night. He also calls me useless. Now he can't even enter the master bedroom. Yesterday he even boasted to me that he slept with you all night the day before yesterday."

Su Ting: "...You didn't beat him?"

"I don't dare, for fear that he would spread the word everywhere."

Thinking about how she was caught queuing to buy food a few days ago and was asked about her married life, Su Ting couldn't help but curl up her toes. She had to be on guard against He Yan's mouth.

He Dongchuan changed the subject and said, "However, if I can sleep in the master bedroom tonight, I will beat him up if he dares to bully me again tomorrow."

Su Ting came to her senses. This was most likely one of his poorly-demonstrated tactics. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should feel sorry for He Dongchuan because he didn't have the authority of a father in front of his son, or feel sorry for He Yan because he was blamed by his father.

Su Ting smiled and said, "Don't give me that. I don't want you to beat the kid."

"Okay, then I won't beat him." He Dongchuan lowered his head, his nose touching Su Ting's nose, and asked her, "Have you thought about it now?"

In the past, Su Ting didn’t like to get too close to people when talking, especially after work. Girls were okay, but men were basically heavy smokers, and she could smell the bad breath from their excessive smoking even at a normal distance.

But He Dongchuan doesn't smoke, and he has good hygiene habits. He brushes his teeth twice a day, morning and evening, and his mouth has no bad smell. So when he approached, Su Ting did not step back, but she couldn't make up her mind and always wanted to lower her head.

However, lowering his head was not a good option. He Dongchuan was wearing a military sweatshirt, which was close-fitting. When he sat on the bed, the undulations of his muscles could be seen through the fabric.

Further down.

A bit spectacular.

Su Ting's mind was already impure, and at this moment she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

In fact, letting him live in the master bedroom didn't seem to be a big deal. She had originally planned to wait and see when He Dongchuan would explain his family background and show an attitude of trust.

As a result, tonight he not only revealed his family assets, but also handed over all his savings, showing enough trust in her.

She hesitated to agree simply because she felt it was happening too fast and she was not mentally prepared.

But when it comes to rolling in bed, no one is mentally prepared. It's not like it's fifty years later when you can still book a couple's suite and put a bed of roses on it. Just get in on it when the fire starts.

Su Ting is now a little aroused. She hasn't been in love since she graduated from university in her previous life. She has been single until now and this is the first time she is so close to a man.

The more Su Ting thought about it, the more she softened her attitude. Just as she was about to nod in agreement, He Dongchuan said, "Don't worry, even if I move in, you can continue to consider this matter. I won't touch you until you nod."

The newly started fire was put out.

But it is not completely destroyed.

As we all know, "I won't touch you until you nod" and "I won't get in until you rub against me" are different in expression, but the meaning is similar. If you rub against me, you will basically get in. Even those who said they wouldn't move will inevitably move their hands and feet.

To sum it up in one sentence, I don’t believe you at all!

Therefore, the next morning, when Su Ting opened her eyes and felt refreshed, she felt very helpless.

She underestimated the self-control of men in the 1970s.

But when she opened the closet door and saw the extra, neatly stacked clothes belonging to He Dongchuan, she realized that she had underestimated the mobility of men in the 1970s.

This is the speed of climbing up the pole.

ox!

…

As soon as He Dongchuan arrived at the camp, he was caught by Shi Cheng, who asked him whether he had done what he said and where he slept last night.

He Dongchuan raised his chin and said calmly, "I moved back to the master bedroom."

Hearing the hint of pride in his straightforward tone, Shi Cheng rolled his eyes and thought, it took more than a month after marriage before you can move into the master bedroom, you must be so capable!

Complaints aside, I am still very happy for He Dongchuan.

He bumped He Dongchuan's shoulder with his arm and asked with a smile, "How was your night?"

He Dongchuan looked at him sideways and said, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Shi Cheng got to know He Dongchuan on the first day he was transferred to Pingchuan Island. They were roommates for two years until Shi Cheng's wife came to join the army and moved out. Their relationship was very close.

Shi Cheng didn't dare to say that he was the worm in He Dongchuan's stomach, but he knew for sure. When he heard what he said, he knew that nothing had happened last night, and he shouted, "Really? Didn't you sleep with her? Didn't you do nothing all night? Old He, tell me, are you incompetent?"

"Get lost!" He Dongchuan raised his foot and kicked him.

Shi Cheng jumped away quickly, but came back after a while: "Since it's not impossible, then tell me what happened last night."

He Dongchuan thought, what else can he do? He has already said it, if she doesn't agree, he will just sleep and not touch her. No matter how uncomfortable she is at night, she can only endure it. Can he go back on his word?

But he couldn't say these words to anyone else, as it was too embarrassing, as if he, a grown man, couldn't even control his wife.

He Dongchuan frowned and looked at Shi Cheng unkindly: "I said you are always asking about this and that. I think you shouldn't come here. The Women's Federation is more suitable for you."

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"No, I just want to be quiet now," He Dongchuan rubbed his brows and asked, "Have you figured out what to do about what we talked about yesterday?"

Talking about business, Shi Cheng stood up straight: "I have an idea, but I need to refine it."

"Okay, think about it first, and we'll have a meeting this afternoon to discuss it."

…

If you ask who was the happiest person after He Dongchuan moved into the master bedroom, it would definitely be He Yan.

As soon as he saw Su Ting in the morning, he smiled broadly at her and even asked her during dinner, "Mom, are you and Dad going to sleep together from now on?"

Su Ting: “…”

Isn't it said that children of this generation are not so precocious and are very simple? How come this kid in her family even cares about whether mom and dad sleep together?

Seeing that she didn't answer, He Yan asked coquettishly: "Is it true? Is it true? Is it true, mommy?"

"Yes, yes, eat your meal!"

After getting a positive answer, He Yan wanted to jump three feet high, clenched his fist and said, "Great!"

Su Ting looked at him with amusement: "You really don't like sleeping with your dad?"

"No." He Yan shook his head.

"Then why are you so happy that your dad will sleep with me from now on?"

He Yan slurped his noodles and said, "Because other people's parents sleep together, of course my parents should sleep together too."

Su Ting: This... is really a strange desire to win.

He Yan's desire to win was not only in his heart. After breakfast, he went out with his toy car.

Ever since he was caught and dragged to play house last time and was told that his parents had a bad relationship and would get divorced, He Yan has not been to the amusement park alone.

Recently he would go to see Zhang Xiaokai first. If Zhang Xiaokai wanted to go to the playground, they would go together. If he didn’t want to go, they would just play in Zhang’s yard.

Today He Yan chose to go straight to the amusement park.

But to his disappointment, there were only a few children swinging on the swings in the playground, and no one was playing house.

He Yan was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask others to play house with him. He still felt that it was a game played by little girls. It was fine if others asked him to play the role of father, but it was weird for him to ask others to play house with him.

But He Yan didn't want to go back just like that. He also wanted everyone to know that his father and mother slept together and they would definitely not get divorced.

After standing there thinking for a moment, He Yan sat on the bench holding the toy car.

After sitting and waiting for about ten minutes, children came to the playground one after another. Some came over to line up to swing, some brought marbles, shuttlecocks and other toys, and some came up to He Yan and wanted to play with toy cars with him.

No one plays house.

Why don't girls play house anymore?

He Yan thought to himself, got up from the recliner, and walked to the open space next to him to play with toy cars with others.

After playing for a while, Zhao Lingling came.

He Yan's eyes lit up when he saw her, because it was she who organized the last playing house game.

However, after Zhao Lingling arrived at the playground, she did not organize a game of playing house like last time, but started playing shuttlecock with other girls. This made He Yan very anxious, and he wanted to rush up and say, "Stop playing shuttlecock and start playing house!"

But He Yan was a man who cared about his reputation, so he restrained his impulse with great difficulty, retracted his gaze and thought, let's wait a little longer.

Maybe Zhao Lingling will stop playing shuttlecock soon and find someone to play house with.

However, he waited and waited, and waited...he couldn't wait any longer!

"You guys play first." He Yan said as he stood up with his hands raised, clapped his hands, walked through the crowd, went behind Zhao Lingling and patted her shoulder.

Zhao Lingling turned around and saw He Yan, a smile appeared on her face.

Among the boys in the family compound, He Yan can be said to be very special.

Because he is very handsome.

Pingchuan Island has a low latitude, long summers, and strong sunshine. In addition, the children on the island are used to being wild and don't pay much attention to sun protection. Except for a few who are born with it, most of them don't have fair skin.

But He Yan was very fair, especially when he stood with the children on the island, his fairness was dazzling.

He Yan is not only fair, but also good-looking, with thick eyebrows, dark and bright eyes, and a straight nose. When he puts on a shirt, trousers, and small leather shoes, he is a sight to behold when he stands there.

The girls also care a lot about looks. He Yan is good-looking, so many girls want to play with her. But he doesn't like to play with girls and always hangs out with Zhang Xiaokai, so Zhao Lingling is just an acquaintance of him, not close to him.

The last time we played house, it was a good opportunity to get familiar with each other, but due to some incidents, it ended up being not very pleasant.

Today was the first time they had spoken to each other since the incident of playing house, and it was He Yan who came to see her. Zhao Lingling was playing with her braids and asked expectantly, "What's the matter?"

"That..."

"Which one?"

"that is……"

"What is it?"

Every time He Yan started to speak, before he could organize his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Lingling, which made the courage he had finally mustered almost disappear.

In order to avoid exhaustion, He Yan took a deep breath and said quickly: "I just want to ask you if you don't want to play house today?"

"Do you want to play house?" Zhao Lingling asked happily.

He Yan quickly denied: "No, I don't want to play house."

Zhao Lingling pouted and looked at him unhappily.

He Yan knew that he had upset her, and he felt a little regretful. He lowered his head and said, "I'm just asking, if you don't want to play house, you can play with toy cars with us."

"Are you here just to play with me?" Zhao Lingling looked surprised.

Of course not, but he said he didn't want to play house anymore, so there was no way to continue the topic. I could only sigh and say, "I was just asking casually."

Although he said that, Zhao Lingling still thought that he had come to invite her specially. She said "Wait for me" and happily went to find her skipping rope friends and told them that she was going to play with toy cars.

He Yan stood there obediently, looking down at himself and waiting while stepping on his left foot with his right foot.

But before Zhao Lingling came back, an annoying voice sounded: "Hey, who is this? Isn't this little He Yan? I haven't seen you go out for a long time, why are you here today?"

He Yan raised his head and glared at Yu Hongzhi, then pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yu Hongzhi laughed: "You are still unhappy, are you still holding a grudge against me for what I said last time? Oh, you are a little immature, what I said was all based on reason. Have you asked your parents? What did they say?"

He Yan raised his head and said in a vicious voice: "My parents have a good relationship, so they will not get divorced!"

However, Yu Hongzhi didn't see any ferocity on his face. Instead, she felt that he was just showing off. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Your parents have a good relationship? If they have a good relationship, can they sleep in separate rooms? They are just trying to coax the child. Do you really believe it?"

He Yan was waiting for her to say this, and immediately raised his head and chest, saying with hidden pride: "My father and mother sleep together, and they have a good relationship!"

Yu Hongzhi's smile froze, and she looked at He Yan with suspicion in her eyes: "Didn't you say last time that they slept separately? Why are they sleeping together now? Oh, I get it, it must be a full show to trick you."

He Yan was furious: "I'm not kidding!"

At this time, several military wives came over with their children. Noticing the tense atmosphere between the two, Chen Shaomei, who was walking in the middle, strode over and said, "What's going on? Yu Hongzhi, you're an adult, it's not appropriate to always bully a child, right?"

Yu Hongzhi is a typical person who bullies the good and fears the evil. She acts strong in front of people who she thinks are not as well off as she is, but becomes weak in front of people who are better off and more powerful than her.

And Chen Shaomei, in her eyes, is the person who lives a better life than her and has a stronger personality.

Both of them gave birth to four children, but Chen Shaomei's family had three fat boys, while she gave birth to all money-losing children. In addition, the two families lived close to each other, and they compared with each other every day. She always felt that she was inferior to the other.

Therefore, when Yu Hongzhi heard Chen Shaomei ask this, she was not angry, but smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I just talked to him, I didn't bully him, Xiaoyan, don't you agree?"

He Yancai didn't agree with her and shouted, "You are bullying me! You are a bad guy!"

Yu Hongzhi got angry when she heard this and scolded, "How can you be so mean? I told you the truth out of kindness, but you didn't appreciate it and you slandered me!"

He Yan was very eloquent, and he spoke quickly: "I didn't slander you! You are just very bad. My parents are fine, but you! You insisted that they wanted to divorce, and said that my mother would not abandon me! But I asked my parents, they would not divorce, and my mother would not abandon me."

When they were arguing, another group of military wives came over to play. After hearing what He Yan said, one of them spoke up for him: "Comrade Yu, this is exactly what you are doing wrong. They are living a good life, but you go to them and say that they are not in a good relationship and want to get a divorce. What's wrong with that? Just say it, and you even caught the child and said it. What? Do you think children are easy to bully?"

The military wives watching the scene echoed: "Yes, it's too much to say these things in front of children."

Seeing that everyone was pointing fingers at her, Yu Hongzhi was anxious and said, "Yes, I did say that, but you can't blame me. You said it yourself last time. Your parents sleep in separate rooms. How can they have a good relationship? If they don't have a good relationship, how can their marriage last? I'm not spreading rumors for no reason."

If Yu Hongzhi had said this before, everyone would have believed it. After all, the source of the information was He Yan, and her guess was reasonable and well-founded.

But two of the military wives who were watching confirmed this with Su Ting while queuing at the grain station in the early morning on the day when grain was distributed.

What did Su Ting say at that time?

Seven days a week, seven times a day, how embarrassing!

They all stood up and said, "Forget it! Comrade Su has already said that she and Comrade He have always slept in the same room and have a good relationship. Instead of worrying about whether she will get a divorce, you might as well think more about whether you can live your life."

Although He Yan didn't understand how his parents ended up sleeping together all the time, he nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, my parents are fine!"
