Because it was a natural birth, Su Ting recovered quickly. On the third day, she could go to the toilet on her own without help. However, Aunt Wang did not allow her to move too much, so she stayed in bed for another day.

It was not until the fourth day that Aunt Wang allowed her to get out of bed and move around, but she was only allowed to stay in the ward and could not go out, let alone go downstairs. She was told that she could not be exposed to wind during the confinement period.

Although Su Ting thought that she would be exposed to the wind sooner or later, let alone other things, she couldn't find a cover to cover her up on the way back to Pingchuan Island after being discharged from the hospital, right?

It's just that although Aunt Wang is easy to talk to in other aspects, she is very strong-willed when it comes to the issue of confinement. Su Ting was afraid that if she brought up this matter now, she would have to find a cover-up for the next few days, so she chose to remain silent.

If she doesn’t want to go downstairs, then don’t go downstairs. She doesn’t really want to go downstairs anyway.

After that, Su Ting stayed in the hospital for another two days. She had basically no problem walking, and the results of her and her child's physical examinations were also good. Only then did the family start preparing for discharge from the hospital.

On the day of discharge, Aunt Wang was unable to find a cover to cover her as Su Ting had expected, but she prepared a hat, a mask, and a thick coat, and acted as if she was going to wrap her up tightly.

Su Ting looked at the sun outside. It was already late April, and the latitude in Rong City was low, so the temperature had already risen this season. She then looked at the thick woolen coat in Aunt Wang's hand and asked hesitantly, "Is this... too thick?"

"The boat we're taking back to the island is empty, and the sea is windy. How can you not wear something thicker?" Aunt Wang muttered, "You're young now, and you always think you can handle anything. It doesn't matter if you wear more or less. But when you reach my age, you'll know that the debts you owe when you're young must be repaid when you're old."

Su Ting had no choice but to look at He Dongchuan, but he had already been persuaded by Aunt Wang, and he advised: "Why don't you just listen to Aunt Wang, it's just a short distance, you can take off your clothes when you get home."

Two to one.

Su Ting had no choice but to put on a tweed coat, a thick hat that covered her ears, and then put on a mask.

Before leaving the ward, Su Ting felt that she was sweating.

Fortunately, everything had been packed, so she was ready to go. After going downstairs, although the sun was strong, the wind was also strong, so she didn't feel stuffy in the room.

I had only been relaxed for a few minutes when the bus arrived. The space inside was narrow, there were many passengers, and the air was not circulating and it was even more stuffy.

Su Ting couldn't stand it, and soon after she sat down, she took off her hat and mask and unbuttoned her coat. Aunt Wang, who was sitting in the seat next to her, saw this and moved her lips, but she didn't say anything in the end. It was indeed a bit hot in the car.

However, after the bus arrived at the pier, before they got off, Aunt Wang reminded Su Ting to put on her hat and watched her button up her coat before getting off the bus.

This time Su Ting had no objection. The wind was stronger at the dock, so she didn't feel hot even in her coat.

On the contrary, He Yan shivered after getting off the car, hugged his arms and said, "It's so cold."

"I asked you to put on an extra coat when you went out this morning, but you refused. Now you must be feeling cold." Aunt Wang kept muttering, but she still opened the woven bag containing the luggage and took out a thin coat for He Yan.

They were lucky; the ferry arrived not long after they bought the tickets.

The ferry was open on all four sides, with no windows, which should have been the same, but Aunt Wang felt that there were more people in the middle and there was more shelter, so she pushed Su Ting into the middle seat.

As soon as Su Ting sat down, she saw the older sister sitting opposite her smiling at her, as if she thought they were quite funny, and she felt a little embarrassed. However, she calmed down and smiled at her because she was wearing a mask and the other party couldn't see her expression.

Although the elder sister could not see Su Ting's smile, she could see kindness in her crooked eyes, so she started the conversation and asked, "Is your husband a soldier? Are you here to visit relatives as well?"

This ferry goes to Pingchuan Island, and there are basically three types of passengers: island residents, stationed military personnel, and people visiting relatives on the island.

Su Ting noticed that her elder sister said "yes", and then looked at her with lots of bags and two half-grown children sitting beside her, and asked, "Are you here to visit relatives?"

"Yes, my man is a soldier on the island." She glanced at He Dongchuan and said, "He is a soldier like your man. They wear the same clothes."

The Navy is different from other branches of the military, such as the Army. It is still equipped with the Type 65 military uniform, which is the green military uniform popular in this era. The uniform styles of officers and soldiers are basically the same.

However, the 74-style military uniforms used by the Navy had different styles for officers and soldiers. The cut of the officers' uniforms remained unchanged, only the color was adjusted. The uniforms for spring, autumn and winter became navy blue, while the summer uniforms were white.

The warrior uniforms worn by soldiers changed a lot. The style became a pullover, V-neck, and shawl, which is the navy uniform that was popular in later generations.

Therefore, through the eldest sister's words, it can be basically confirmed that her husband is a military officer, but we don't know what rank he is. Generally speaking, family members of deputy battalion commanders and above can accompany the army.

Although Pingchuan Island is remote and there are not many jobs on the island, if a military wife does not have a job in her hometown and the family burden is not too heavy, as long as her husband has a high enough rank, most people will choose to follow the army. After all, everyone wants to be reunited with their family.

However, Su Ting and the man had just met, and it was not the time to exchange names, so she did not dare to ask too many questions. She just smiled and asked: "Have you been to Pingchuan Island before? If you are not familiar with the road, you can walk with us later."

The eldest sister smiled and said, "That's great!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little boy beside her said, "Mom, you forgot, Dad said he would come to pick us up."

After being reminded by the child, the eldest sister finally remembered and slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, my husband said he would pick us up at the dock." She looked apologetic at Su Ting.

"That's fine." Su Ting said with a smile. She had originally thought that it would be inappropriate to ask them directly if anyone would pick them up after getting off the boat, so she said they would go together.

The eldest sister breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered what Su Ting had just said, and asked, "Do you live on the island?"

Su Ting nodded: "Yes."

The eldest sister showed an envious expression on her face: "How is it to live on the island? I heard that you have to pay for food and drink? The living expenses alone will cost tens of dollars a month."

"About the same, but it depends on the individual. If you have few children in your family and live frugally, you can get by with 20 or 30 yuan. If you have many children in your family, maybe five or six, and they all need to go to school, the expenses will be higher."

Su Ting did not mention her family's living expenses. Although they were the only child before this month, she spent money quite lavishly. They had fish and meat all the time at home, and bought fruit snacks every now and then, so the monthly expenses were about sixty or seventy yuan.

And every time the season changes, their family's expenses will increase exponentially, because she and He Yan have to buy new clothes every season, and the cloth coupons issued annually obviously cannot support them, so their clothes are basically made of industrial fabrics, Dacron in summer and khaki tweed in winter, the price is several times that of ordinary cotton cloth, any piece of clothing costs twenty or thirty, and a full set of clothes will cost at least sixty or seventy yuan.

However, He Dongchuan's salary is high, and she is also serializing a comic book. Adding up all the royalties, her average monthly income is more than two hundred yuan, which can cover her current expenses.

But their family's expenses are obviously higher than those of most families in the family compound, and the eldest sister in front of her wanted to ask only about the normal expenses of most families, so Su Ting was talking about the latter.

After hearing what Su Ting said, the elder sister seemed to be lost in thought. She did not come to her senses until the ferry docked. She asked uncertainly, "Are we there yet?"

"We're here," Su Ting stood up and asked, "Where's your man?"

The elder sister looked toward the pier, but it was crowded with people. She shook her head and said, "There are too many people. I can't see clearly."

Su Ting asked: "Then you guys come down with us?"

"Okay." The eldest sister responded, picked up her luggage and got off the boat with Su Ting and the others.

After getting off the boat and walking onto the dock, before we even reached the gate, the elder sister excitedly raised her hands and waved them, pointing at the man standing at the gate and saying, "That's my man."

As the group walked over, the other party first gave He Dongchuan a military salute: "Hey, Battalion Commander."

He Dongchuan also saluted in return. The elder sister asked in surprise: "Do you know each other? Lao Qi, let me tell you about this person. By the way, what's your name, sister? My name is Li Guifang."

"My name is Su Ting."

"Comrade Su Ting," Li Guifang said, turning to her husband, "she is a very nice person. She told me a lot of things on the boat."

Qi Shenggang's personality was not as outgoing as his wife, and he was even more serious. Upon hearing this, he just nodded to Su Ting and the others, said thank you, and left with his wife.

He was tall, and even with the luggage he was carrying, he walked very fast. Li Guifang followed him with her children, saying, "Do you know what Comrade Su told me? She said that living on the island is not expensive, and we have few children, so if we save, twenty or thirty yuan a month will be enough. I live in my hometown with my children, and it still costs more than ten yuan a month. What do you think of me..."

They walked too fast and the words Li Guifang said afterwards were blown away by the wind. Su Ting did not hear clearly, but she had good eyesight and could still see Li Guifang gasping for breath from exhaustion from chasing her husband even from such a distance.

The adults were like this, not to mention the two children, who were already running.

Su Ting turned her head and asked, "Has Deputy Battalion Commander Qi always been so cold?"

"I'm not very familiar with him." He Dongchuan said tactfully.

Aunt Wang didn't have a good impression of Qi Shenggang. She curled her lips and said, "No matter how cold it is, you can't be so cold in front of your family. To put it bluntly, you still don't care."

Su Ting thought about it and felt that what Aunt Wang said made sense. For example, He Dongchuan was known for his cold personality outside, but when he walked with her and He Yan, he would deliberately slow down his pace and wait for them.

Su Ting thinks that for someone like He Dongchuan who is cold outside, it is just a personality problem, but if he is still cold in front of his family, it is a character problem.

…

When she returned to the family compound, Su Ting was warmly welcomed by the military wives.

When they entered the family compound, there were only five of them. When they reached Building 66, they were surrounded by a group of people, some asking about Su Ting's delivery and some looking after the children.

These days, it is so rare for someone to stay in the hospital for more than half a month for childbirth that the story has become distorted as it spreads.

At first everyone thought that Su Ting was timid and was frightened by Duan Xiaoying's seizure in the middle of the night, so she packed her things and went to the hospital before the birth.

But everyone waited and waited, but she didn't come back with the baby, so some people started to wonder if she had a difficult labor. By the time Su Ting was discharged from the hospital, the rumor had changed to that she had a difficult labor and heavy bleeding, and was in critical condition.

Jiang Aihong said that if Su Ting didn't come back, their Women's Federation would organize a group to visit her in the hospital.

Su Ting: "..." Thank you.

Having said that, everyone was relieved to see Su Ting in such good spirits and her child was healthy.

Some people even compared Su Ting and Duan Xiaoying, saying that the latter had not been in good health since giving birth. Not only did her face turn pale, but she also suffered from back pain all the time. In conclusion, being expensive has its reasons, and it seems that you still have to go to the hospital to give birth.

When Duan Xiaoying's son was one month old, Su Ting saw her and knew that she looked unhappy, but she did not think about giving birth to the child at that time, and thought it was the bad things that happened during the confinement period.

As for the back pain, Su Ting was not sure. After all, she was admitted to the hospital not long after Duan Xiaoying was discharged from the confinement period and she had not seen her since.

But since everyone said so, it must be true. However, Su Ting felt that Duan Xiaoying's problems were not only caused by giving birth at home, but also had something to do with not getting enough rest during the confinement period.

We chatted all the way to the He family's door. We learned that they hadn't been home for several days and there were many things to do. We didn't stay long and just went into the house, stood for a while and then left.

As soon as they left, Su Ting, He Dongchuan and Aunt Wang started to get busy.

Su Ting was busy taking off her clothes. The doors and windows of the house were closed. Wearing too much was a bit stuffy. He Dongchuan was busy changing the bed sheets and quilt covers. They were covered with dust after not going home for a few days. Aunt Wang went in and out of the living room and kitchen, trying to boil some hot water, but she was still in her arms and couldn't get her hands free. Finally, she went back to the master bedroom.

Seeing that the bed was made, Aunt Wang urged Su Ting to lie down on the bed, and slowly put her on the bed. She picked up the sheets and quilt and said to He Dongchuan, "I'll wash them, you clean up the room."

He Dongchuan responded and went out to bring the woven bag into the house.

The woven bag may not look big, but it contains a lot of things, including milk powder, bottles, toys, clothes, shoes, diapers, and even a thermos.

He Dongchuan put the milk powder, bottles and toys on the dressing table, and the clothes and shoes in the closet. Diapers had the most and were changed the most frequently, so he didn't put them in the closet but placed them directly on the shelf at the end of the bed so that he could use them when he needed them.

After sorting out the ladies' clothes, it was Su Ting's turn. She also had a lot of things, including two or three sets of clothes.

Before giving birth, she basically had to take a shower every day and change her clothes every day, but after giving birth, she couldn't do that anymore. With Aunt Wang watching her, she didn't even go to the bathroom in the past few days. At most, she would get some water and wipe her body in the ward. Now she doesn't even dare to rub her body, for fear of getting a lump of mud, and she doesn't dare to touch her hair because it's too oily.

So when He Dongchuan was packing his clothes, Su Ting started to make plans in her mind.

When He Dongchuan finished sorting his clothes and turned around, he met Su Ting's tender eyes and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?"

"Husband~" Su Ting shouted at the top of her lungs.

In most cases, He Dongchuan really enjoyed Su Ting calling him husband. He was not yet thirty years old and was at the age of full of vigor and vitality. No matter how gentlemanly he behaved outside, he could not resist teasing when he got home and went to bed.

Every time Su Ting shouted like this, he would be more excited than usual.

But Su Ting didn't often yell like that. Later, she even teased him deliberately at inappropriate times, and laughed at his expression when he was tempted but couldn't solve the problem.

And when he comes back with his "revenge" at night, she will become angry and unreasonable.

It was obviously not a suitable time now. Not to mention that it was daytime and Aunt Wang was still busy outside, her health alone was not suitable for doing anything.

When He Dongchuan heard this, he knew that she must be planning something bad.

But he still stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Afraid that Aunt Wang might hear their secret plot, Su Ting urged in a soft voice, "Close the door first."

He Dongchuan turned his head to look at the open door, and his tongue unconsciously touched the root of his tongue. Su Ting saw that he didn't understand, and urged him, "Hurry up!"

He Dongchuan raised his feet, walked to the door and closed it.

"Lock it up."

He moved his fingers slightly, locked the door as Su Ting said, and turned around.

Su Ting sat on the bed, the quilt slipped from her chest to her waist, but the clothes she wore inside were very thick, knitted fabrics, not a bit of skin could be seen. It was just that the material was close to her body, showing her waist that had quickly shrunk after giving birth, and her bust that was becoming more and more voluptuous in contrast, which aroused people's reverie.

But there was no hint of seduction in Su Ting's expression, her smile was just very sweet and dangerous.

He Dongchuan prepared himself mentally and asked, "Can I tell you now?"

"Yeah," Su Ting nodded with a smile and asked in a soft voice, "Husband, do you love me?"

"love."

"Then are you willing to do whatever I ask you to do?"

"Tell me what you want me to do first."

Su Ting was shocked and accused: "You don't love me! You actually have to think twice before I ask you to do something!"

"…As long as it doesn't break the law or disrupt discipline." He Dongchuan had to give in and barely hold the bottom line.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you break the law." Su Ting's expression suddenly brightened up. She raised her right hand and made a little gesture, "At most, you will be scolded by Aunt Wang."

He Dongchuan had a guess in his mind and asked, "Do you want to wash your hair?"

"That's right!" Su Ting clapped her hands and asked flatteringly, "Husband, you are so smart. How did you guess it right so quickly? You will definitely help me, right?"

He Dongchuan hesitated: "Auntie Wang said that you can't wash your hair or take a bath during the confinement period."

"But I feel like I'm going to stink. If I don't wash my hair, I'm going to go crazy," Su Ting hugged He Dongchuan's arm and acted coquettishly. "And I've heard people say before that as long as the weather is good, you can wash your hair and take a bath during confinement. Just make sure your hair dries quickly."

In fact, Su Ting was not sure whether she could wash her hair. After all, a few decades later, with the advent of hair dryers, one could dry hair in ten minutes after washing it. In this era, even if the weather was good, it would probably take half an hour to an hour to dry the hair.

But she really couldn't stand her current greasy look, so she didn't care about it. At least today, she had to wash her hair.

He Dongchuan frowned and said, "Don't say that."

Su Ting made a zipper-pulling gesture: "Well, I won't say anything, but just this once, can you let me wash my hair?"

"Wash it only this time?" He Dongchuan asked.

In fact, Su Ting is not unkind to her body, but she sweated too much on her birthday, and when she sweats, her hair becomes oily and itchy. As long as she washes her hair today, she will just have to bear with it for the next twenty days.

Su Ting looked up and said, "I promise, this will be the only time during the confinement period."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Get Aunt Wang out."

He Dongchuan frowned: "How did you lie?"

"You are so smart, you must be able to think of a way." Su Ting flattered him, but there was nothing she could do. She really didn't know how she could trick Aunt Wang out for an hour or two.

He Dongchuan understood that his wife was counting on him.

But he couldn't help going up yet.

He Dongchuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we wait until the coal stove is lit and the water is boiled?"

This really saves time. Su Ting nodded: "Okay."

Just as the couple finished their plan, there was a knock on the door. He Dongchuan went to open the door and saw Aunt Wang standing outside. She looked at the two young people in the room with a sharp gaze. Seeing that they were dressed neatly, she felt relieved and asked, "Why did you lock the door in broad daylight?"

He Dongchuan took the responsibility and said, "It's me. My clothes are too thick and I want to change them."

"Really?" Aunt Wang looked doubtful.

"yes."

Aunt Wang looked He Dongchuan up and down and asked, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"

"Just when I was about to change, you knocked on the door and came in."

The explanation was passable, but Aunt Wang was still worried and said, "Your wife has just given birth, so you should be careful during this period."

He Dongchuan said helplessly: "...I know."

After hearing what he said, Aunt Wang nodded reluctantly and turned away.

He Dongchuan closed the door, but before he turned around, he heard Su Ting's muffled laughter. He walked to the bed and tapped her head helplessly: "You're still laughing, who am I doing this for?"

Su Ting spread her hands and said, "Auntie Wang is worried about you, what does it have to do with me?"

Speaking of this, He Dongchuan was indeed helpless.

After Su Ting gave birth, Aunt Wang would remind him to be more restrained almost every day during his hospitalization.

And every time Su Ting wiped her body, if they stayed in the room for a long time, Aunt Wang would lie on the door and eavesdrop, as if he was a beast who would do whatever he wanted to his wife who had just given birth.

Well, he did have his moments, but he was a self-controlled adult and he could handle it.

The tolerant adult bent down, lowered his head and bit someone's lips, then stepped back when she raised her eyes and glared at him, straightened up and said, "Reward."

Su Ting: “…”

She endured it because she still had to rely on him to get Aunt Wang out of the way.

He Dongchuan was in a good mood after getting his reward. He unbuttoned his military jacket one by one.

In the current temperature, it is enough for him to take off his military jacket. Although the military pants are a bit thick, they are still wearable. Not to mention the shirt, the material is very light and thin.

But there was no need to close the door when just taking off the coat, so in order to cover up his lie, after taking off the coat, He Dongchuan also unbuttoned his belt and military pants.

Su Ting watched with great interest. When He Dongchuan took out his summer military pants and was about to put them on, she said fearlessly, "You haven't taken off your shirt yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Before the time came for them to be frank with each other, Su Ting was always very bold and never concealed her admiration for He Dongchuan's figure. But once they got in bed, she became timid and coy, a typical example of a man who likes dragons more than he loves.

The reason she dared to say this now was entirely because Aunt Wang was still out there and she had nothing to fear.

He Dongchuan put down his military pants and asked through gritted teeth: "How about you help me take them off?"

Su Ting was indeed arrogant and fearless, but she still remembered that she had something to ask for, so she didn't dare to tease him too much, so she said, "That's not necessary..."

Aunt Wang knocked on the door again: "You haven't changed your clothes yet?"

He Dongchuan's mouth twitched slightly: "Right away."

He glanced at Su Ting who was laughing wildly, and quickly put on his military pants, but did not change his shirt, as the color was the same anyway.

After putting on his pants, He Dongchuan went to open the door. Aunt Wang outside heard the sound, turned around, frowned and asked, "Didn't you just take off your coat?"

"I also changed my military pants." said He Dongchuan.

"Really?"

"yes."

"It takes so long to change a pair of pants." Aunt Wang said angrily, believing what He Dongchuan said.

He Dongchuan had to prove himself: "Don't worry, I know everything."

Aunt Wang said, "I know you know what's going on." She was worried that he would lose control of himself and not care about anything. In this case, the man would be happy, but the woman would suffer.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang said, "You will be going to the camp in two days, so you need to rest well at night. Why don't you sleep with Xiaoyan at night, and I will sleep with Xiaosu so that I can take care of you slowly."

He Dongchuan: “…”

…

After changing his clothes, He Dongchuan went out to do some work for Su Ting.

The solution he thought of was very simple, which was to ask Shi Cheng's wife for help. In the name of the green pepper insole pattern, he asked her to invite Aunt Wang to their home and keep her there for two hours.

After hearing his request, Shi Cheng's wife looked embarrassed.

It's not that she didn't want to help. He Dongchuan had a good relationship with Shi Cheng, and his request was not difficult. She had no reason not to agree. It was just that she felt that she was not familiar with Aunt Wang, and she was worried whether she could delay Aunt Wang for two hours.

After learning about her concerns, He Dongchuan thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any military wives who are well connected and can sew insoles? Ask a few of them and take turns asking Aunt Wang for advice. I'm sure you can hold her back."

"Then... let me try it." Shi Cheng's wife said hesitantly.

He Dongchuan said: "If it can't be delayed for two hours, it should be delayed for at least one and a half hours."

"……become."

Shi Cheng's wife didn't think much about He Dongchuan's request for help, but he himself was quite distracted. When seeing him off, she asked with a smile, "Old He, tell me the truth, what are you planning?"

"What can I do?"

Shi Cheng, however, thought the wrong thing, patted his shoulder, and said with a lewd smile: "You still refuse to tell me."

He Dongchuan glanced at him and thought that if it was really him who had evil intentions, it would be great. It was obvious that he was forced into this situation!

After sighing, he did not forget to tell her: "When Auntie Wang comes to your house, you help keep an eye on her. If necessary, hold her back. Got it?"

"Understand."

Shi Cheng patted his chest and gave He Dongchuan a look that said, "Leave it to me."

Even though he was not a serious person, he was still very reliable in doing things. With his words, He Dongchuan felt relieved. After returning home, he went straight into the master bedroom to inform Su Ting.

Because Aunt Wang was changing the baby's diaper inside, he couldn't say anything, so he just nodded slightly to Su Ting to indicate that everything was done.

Noticing his little action, Su Ting smiled and said to Aunt Wang, "Everyone said I can just change the diaper slowly. It's just a small thing, why bother you?"

"Just take a good rest. Didn't you hear what they said? Duan Xiaoying from Building 65 didn't take good care of herself during the confinement period, so her face turned pale and hasn't recovered yet. Since your mother asked me to take care of you during the confinement period, just sit down and rest. Leave everything else to me." After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she looked up and asked, "Why are you standing there?"

"Then let me change the diaper?" He Dongchuan asked.

Aunt Wang said as she stuffed the diaper into Manman's mouth: "No, I've already changed it. Go to the kitchen and check the water. If it's ready, fill two bottles with it."

He Dongchuan responded and went to the kitchen to check the kettle. Seeing that the lid was jumping due to the steam, he filled two bottles with boiling water as Aunt Wang said, and then filled a kettle with cold water to continue boiling.

When the pot of water was ready, Shi Cheng's wife came.

Aunt Wang is more sociable than Su Ting. She has been in Pingchuan Island for only two months, but she is already familiar with all the military wives in the compound. When she saw Shi Cheng's wife coming to visit, she warmly entertained her.

Shi Cheng's wife was an honest person and not very good at chatting with others. She came straight to the point when she entered the door and said that she always felt that there was something wrong with the pattern of the insoles she was embroidering, and wanted to ask Aunt Wang for help.

Aunt Wang agreed immediately, and seeing that she had nothing in her hands, she asked, "Did you bring insoles?"

Shi Cheng's wife didn't beat around the bush: "I didn't bring it. I want you to come to my house and help me take a look."

"This..." Aunt Wang looked embarrassed, "Are you worried? I'm afraid I can't leave my house."

Shi Cheng's wife glanced at He Dongchuan and nodded: "Urgent, very urgent."

Aunt Wang was even more embarrassed, so He Dongchuan took the opportunity to say, "Since sister-in-law is worried, why don't you go over and take a look? I'm at home, so you don't have to worry."

"Well... okay."

After Aunt Wang agreed, He Dongchuan sent her and Shi Cheng's wife out the door, followed them all the way to the courtyard gate, and only after they walked away did he go back and say to Su Ting, "Okay."

Su Ting hurriedly got out of bed, untied her bun, and fiddled with her hair while looking for clothes to wear.

He Dongchuan went to the kitchen to bring hot water to the bathroom and filled it for Su Ting. She could then find her clothes and go directly to the bathroom to wash her hair.

She used to be very slow, and it would take her at least an hour to wash her hair and take a bath in spring, autumn and winter. But today, she was afraid that Aunt Wang would come back suddenly, so she washed her hair very quickly, scratching her scalp with her fingernails. She only rinsed her scalp with water for the first few times she applied shampoo, and only rinsed it for a long time the last time. The same was true for taking a bath, which she scratched directly with her fingernails, and it only took about ten minutes.

After taking a shower, Su Ting found a dry towel and sat by the living room window to dry her hair. At this point, the sun was shining through the glass, it was warm and the hair was easy to dry.

While she was drying her hair, He Dongchuan also went into the bathroom to take a shower. This was to cover up what she had done. Otherwise, Aunt Wang would definitely be suspicious when she came back and saw that the bathroom was so wet.

Like Su Ting, He Dongchuan washed his hair while taking a shower. After that, he rubbed their clothes dry and hung them on the rope outside.

While He Dongchuan was hanging clothes, Aunt Wang, who was sitting in the Shi family's yard, kept looking at her watch. Although He Dongchuan said that he would take good care of the family, she was born to worry, especially since Su Ting had just given birth to a child, and she always felt uneasy after being away for a long time.

But the military wives who came to her for advice were too enthusiastic. Every time she said she wanted to go back, someone encountered a problem.

The problems were not big. It might be that the needle was wrong, or that the child was not sure how to embroider next. However, the problems were quite complicated and required her to teach him stitch by stitch.

She also changed her original plan of staying for half an hour to one hour, and then to two hours.

Aunt Wang looked at her watch again and finally became firm: "It's almost time for lunch, and I have to go back to cook. I really can't stay any longer."

Hearing this, several military wives looked at Shi Cheng's wife, and she looked at her husband. Shi Cheng glanced at his watch and estimated that the time was almost up. If he delayed any further, Aunt Wang would definitely become suspicious, so he nodded slightly.

Shi Cheng's wife breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll ask you for help next time I encounter a problem?"

The other military wives quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, Auntie, you are really good at embroidery. After your guidance, I think the patterns you embroidered are much more beautiful."

Everyone loves to hear nice things, and Aunt Wang is no exception. She was flattered and said happily, "Okay, come back to me next time you have a problem."

After the greetings, Aunt Wang went back home. She was in a good mood on the way home, but when she saw the clothes hanging on the ropes in the yard, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She hurried into the house, walked to the door of the master bedroom and asked, "Have you taken a shower?"

He Dongchuan, who was sitting on the bed and teasing his girlfriend, said, "I was sweating and felt uncomfortable, so I washed my hair and took a shower."

Su Ting also confessed: "I took a shower and asked him to wash his clothes at the same time."

Looking at Su Ting's black hair, Aunt Wang asked suspiciously, "Did you really just take a bath?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, ask Dongchuan." Su Ting pushed the question to He Dongchuan.

He Dongchuan nodded: "I will testify."

The two spoke with such confidence that Aunt Wang had no choice but to believe them for now and change the subject by asking, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"

"What time is it?" He Dongchuan raised his wrist. "It's almost twelve o'clock. I didn't go to buy food when I came back. Let's not cook today. I'll go to the cafeteria and buy some meals later."

Aunt Wang remembered that she had been busy since she came back and had not had time to buy vegetables. The fish and meat must have been sold out by now, so she reluctantly said, "Okay then."

After saying that, Aunt Wang turned around and went to the kitchen. After a while, she came out and went to the bathroom. Then she thought of He Yan and went back to the master bedroom door and asked, "Where is Xiao Yan? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

He Dongchuan cheered up and said, "Maybe he went crazy. It's okay. I'll call him back when I go to the cafeteria later."

"That's fine." Aunt Wang muttered and left the master bedroom again.

Only then did the young couple feel sure that they had passed the test. They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, believing that they had finally gotten through it.

But it turns out that age is more important than experience, and they were too happy too early.

In the afternoon, when Aunt Wang entered the master bedroom to change Su Ting's diaper, she smelled the scent of shampoo on Su Ting's head, so she concluded that she had washed her hair.

The plan of the two was completely exposed. Aunt Wang was so angry that she scolded the couple over and over again for the whole afternoon, and when she went to bed at night, she drove He Dongchuan from the master bedroom to the second bedroom.

Because of what happened during the day, she now seriously doubted He Dongchuan's credibility and could no longer believe his daytime assurances. In order to prevent him from acting on impulse, Su Ting resolutely refused to allow them to have sex during her confinement.

Su Ting had no objection to Aunt Wang's decision, nor did she dare to object. She was just thankful that the fire didn't burn her head.

He Yan took the opportunity to express his desire to sleep with his mother, sister and grandmother, and applied to sleep in the master bedroom. After obtaining Su Ting's consent, Aunt Wang agreed to his proposal.

He Dongchuan: “…”
