Two days later, when He Dongchuan was at home on Sunday, he took the time to talk to Aunt Wang about his trip to the capital.

Aunt Wang lowered her head and thought for a long time, then asked, "I'm back in the capital. Can Su Ting take care of the two children by herself?"

He Dongchuan replied: "Xiaoyan has grown up and become much more sensible. Xiaosu doesn't need to worry too much about him. Besides, I will help when I am at home, so I should be able to take good care of him."

"It's up to you. I'm just an old lady, I can go anywhere."

He Dongchuan was a smart man. He knew what Aunt Wang was thinking when he heard this. He said gently, "Xiao Su and I certainly hope you can stay. It is said that an old person in the family is like a treasure. With you here, we can all feel much more relaxed. But you can't stand the summer heat, and it always rains during this period. Every time it rains, you feel uncomfortable in your legs. If we pretend that we know nothing and keep you here for our own ease, what kind of people would we be?"

Do they want Aunt Wang to stay?

That's definitely what I thought.

Although Aunt Wang was very harsh in criticizing people, she knew her limits and never crossed the line. Su Ting was not the kind of person who was not satisfied. She knew that Aunt Wang was there to help, so she treated her politely. Therefore, there was no conflict between the two of them and they got along very happily.

In this case, if Aunt Wang wanted to stay, Su Ting would definitely agree. After all, with Aunt Wang around, she would feel much more relaxed.

But they couldn't be so selfish. Knowing that Aunt Wang couldn't stand the heat and her legs always felt sore on rainy days, they still ignored her pain and shamelessly left her on Pingchuan Island.

This is also the reason why Su Ting worked so hard last month.

When she is busy, Aunt Wang will definitely choose to stay and sacrifice herself, so she must dispel Aunt Wang's concerns as soon as possible so that Aunt Wang can make the choice she wants.

But from Aunt Wang's perspective, she must have felt bad when they took the initiative to ask her to consider returning to the capital.

"Besides, Xiao Su and I are the younger generation after all. We can't always cling to you just because the child is still young. We also have to consider my parents. You know them well. When you were here, they wanted to eat three meals a day in the cafeteria. I don't know what our home is like now that you are here on Pingchuan Island." He Dongchuan sighed, "Our family can't do without you."

Aunt Wang felt very happy about being praised and also thought about congratulating her father and mother.

Of course, she had deep feelings for He's father and mother, not only because of the years they had spent together, but also because of the hands they had extended to her in the beginning.

She and He's father were not actually closely related by blood, as their mothers were cousins, and in their generation, they had to be given a courtesy name. However, the two families lived in adjacent villages and were very close. When his parents passed away, her mother would occasionally try to help him.

When her husband died, her sickly child also died within two years. Her parents-in-law thought she was an unlucky person who had brought disaster upon her husband and child, so they tortured her. Later, they even wanted her to marry an old widower from the same village for the sake of a dowry.

Her parents' family is not very reliable either, as her mother died a long time ago. Her brother and sister-in-law seem to be willing to support her, but in fact they are dissatisfied with the fact that her in-laws keep all the betrothal gifts in their hands. They are thinking of letting her go home so that they can find another one for her.

Her situation at that time could be described as having a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

Fortunately, she had a nephew who was very promising and worked in a state-owned factory in the county. That year, he went on a business trip to the capital. After arriving in the capital, he had a stomachache and was admitted to the hospital. By chance, he met He's mother and went to visit He's family.

Her nephew was a smart man. He knew that He's father had lived with others when he was young and had a bad relationship with his uncles and aunts. After he came back, he did not spread the news of his encounter with him.

Because he knew that her mother had helped He's father before she died, he saw that she was desperate and gave her an idea. With his help, she was able to leave her hometown and go to the capital to find He's father and mother.

But to be honest, she was very nervous on the way to the capital.

Although her mother had extended a helping hand to He's father when she was alive, they had not seen each other for so many years that even the deepest feelings between them should have faded. She was not sure whether he was willing to help.

But when they arrived in the capital and explained the situation to the couple, they kept her without hesitation.

Asking her to be a nanny was just a stopgap measure at first. When she first arrived in the capital, she couldn't speak Mandarin well, had no education, and didn't have a capital hukou, so it was difficult to find a job for her.

She couldn't do anything like eating and drinking for free, so she worked for them. They were all kind people and didn't want her to work for free, so they paid her.

After she learned Mandarin and recognized a lot of words, He's father considered arranging a job for her. It wasn't a very good unit, and she wouldn't be a formal employee at first, but she could be considered an employee of a state-owned factory, which was quite respectable.

She herself didn't want to go. She noticed that her cousin and his wife were both workaholics. He Dongchuan was young and had to go to school. When she was not at He's house, their lives were a mess.

She wanted to stay and take care of their daily chores so that they could work with peace of mind and she could repay them in this way.

Although the job was good, she had never left the village for more than 30 years. She was afraid that she would not be able to handle the important task entrusted to her. She also felt that she had taken someone else's job by relying on connections to get into the state-owned factory.

After He's father and mother knew her idea, they let her stay, and she worked in the He family for more than ten or twenty years.

After arriving at Pingchuan Island, Aunt Wang naturally found it difficult to let go of congratulating her parents. Sometimes while eating, she couldn't help but mutter, wondering if they had eaten.

Therefore, when she heard He Dongchuan mention them, Aunt Wang softened her attitude and asked, "Can you really do it if I leave?"

"We have to do it no matter how hard it is," He Dongchuan said, "We have to grow up and can't always rely on you and my parents."

Aunt Wang thought about it and agreed. Who is born knowing how to take care of children and be a good parent? They are all forced to learn slowly. She might have hindered their growth by staying on Pingchuan Island.

As elders, they cannot always stay with the children, they have to let go eventually.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang said, "Then I will wait until Xiaoyan finishes the exam before returning to the capital." This year, the final exams for the military district primary schools will be on July 8th, and there are only a few days left.

He Dongchuan said, "Okay, I'll find time to call my parents in the next few days."

…

He Dongchuan made the call from the camp, taking advantage of the time when Cheng Xiaoman was not at work, and called directly to her home.

Aunt Wang had been away from home for so long, Cheng Xiaoman missed her a little. She was very happy to hear that she was coming back, but thinking of her new granddaughter, she asked, "Now that Chuntao is back, can your wife handle the situation?"

Aunt Wang’s full name is Wang Chuntao. She was born in the spring when the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

He Dongchuan said: "It should be possible. We will find a way to adjust it."

Cheng Xiaoman knew that her son had his own ideas, so she asked, "When will Chuntao come back? I'll tell your dad and he'll arrange for someone to pick her up."

He Dongchuan said, "Next Sunday, Aunt Wang said she wants to wait until Xiaoyan finishes her exams, so they will take the exam next Tuesday."

"Okay." Cheng Xiaoman agreed, then remembered to ask, "Did you receive the package I sent you earlier?"

“When was the package sent?”

Although He Dongchuan always said on the phone that they had tickets and that they had everything they needed on the island, Cheng Xiaoman was still worried and would send packages to the island almost every month.

After Man Man was born, Cheng Xiaoman's packages were sent more frequently, and they received a package once every half a month on average.

But at that time, the transportation time was uncertain, and the package would not arrive in half a month. So after a long time, He Dongchuan could not tell when Cheng Xiaoman sent the package he received.

Cheng Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "It was sent on Monday."

"It will probably take a few more days," said He Dongchuan.

"Just remember to take it when it arrives. This time we're sending you two cans of milk powder, a new brand. I heard it's better than before. Ask your wife to give Miaomiao a try and see if she eats it."

After he was born, he was fed a mixture of breast milk and formula milk, but formula milk was not part of the daily supply and it was difficult to get tickets for it.

After Cheng Xiaoman found out, she used her connections to get a lot of tickets. In the past few months, she would send two bags of milk powder every time she sent a package. Some time ago, she heard that a new brand of milk powder was launched, claiming that it was formulated and good for babies, so she asked a colleague who knew about this, and after confirming it was true, she bought two cans.

Cheng Xiaoman said, "If Miaomiao drinks it, I'll ask someone to buy more later."

When it comes to the lady's body, He Dongchuan agrees immediately: "Okay."

…

Before He Yan's exam, Su Ting received good news that Li Guifang had returned from her hometown.

Li Guifang returned to her hometown in May. Su Ting originally thought that she would be back in mid-June, but she never heard any news. At one point, she couldn't help but speculate, worrying that she was trapped in her hometown and couldn't come back.

For this purpose, Su Ting specially asked He Dongchuan to find Qi Shenggang to inquire about it.

Because she was curious about why Li Guifang had been away for so long, after hearing the news, Su Ting carried Manman to her home.

When I arrived, Li Guifang was cleaning the house. Qi Shenggang was not a diligent person. During the time when she was away, the house was not very messy, but it was certainly not clean.

It just so happened that she brought a lot of luggage with her, which needed to be sorted, so we packed it all together.

Seeing Su Ting coming with her daughter, Li Guifang smiled and asked, "I said I would visit you after I was done with my work. You've grown up so much in over a month, haven't you?"

"She can eat a lot and grows fast." Su Ting said with a smile.

"Being able to eat is a blessing." Li Guifang said, and walked to the cupboard to pick up the thermos, but it was empty. She had no choice but to say, "I just came back, and nothing is cleaned at home. There's not even a cup of hot water..."

"I'm not thirsty either. I just had some tea at home." Su Ting waved her hands and asked, "Why did you take so long to go home this time?"

"There were a lot of things to do at home, and it was already mid-June when I finished dealing with them. At that time, I thought to myself that if I came back directly to transfer my two children, they would definitely not be able to catch up with this semester, so I stayed at home for a while longer and came back after they finished their exams." Li Guifang remembered and asked, "Is your Xiaoyan on summer vacation?"

Su Ting said, "They have their final exam tomorrow."

"The elementary schools on that island finish late."

After learning the reason why Li Guifang delayed her return, Su Ting briefly asked her about her return.

Although Qi Shenggang's parents had both passed away, and Li Guifang was sent to the Qi family as a child bride and had no close relationship with her natal family, she had to deal with a lot of interpersonal relationships when she followed the army.

Before, when she was in her hometown, no one thought much of it. But this time, when they heard that she was going to Pingchuan Island to join the army, they came to her house one after another to make friends with her, and some even wanted Qi Shenggang to arrange a job for them. Just dealing with these people took her three or four days.

Fortunately, although there were many and complicated things to do after I returned, they were not difficult to handle and I gradually sorted them out.

Overall, her trip back home went smoothly and nothing difficult happened.

After listening to Li Guifang, Su Ting nodded: "As long as everything goes well, by the way, how did your two final exams go?"

"The eldest child's grades were OK, he was in the top ten in the class, the second child didn't do well, but the eldest child said he would come to tutor his younger sister during the summer vacation," Li Guifang said, lost in thought, "During this time, I always feel that the eldest child has become much more sensible."

Although they had booked a suite when they stayed in the guesthouse, the place was so small that the noise of her and Qi Shenggang's quarrel could be heard downstairs, and the two children naturally could not have been unaware of it.

Perhaps because he knew that his parents were not so harmonious, his eldest son became much more well-behaved and studied more attentively than before.

Li Guifang should be happy to see this change, but she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about the reason for her child's change.

Su Ting is also a parent, so she certainly understood what Li Guifang meant, and consoled her: "It's never a bad thing for a child to be sensible. Everything will be fine."

"Yes, everything will be fine." Li Guifang let out a sigh and said with a smile.

…

The next day was the final exam for the military district elementary school.

As usual, He Yan had noodles for breakfast, and Aunt Wang also gave him two poached eggs.

After entering the second grade, He Yan's grades have been very stable. He is either first or second in the grade in every exam. This time he is very confident in himself. Before going to school after eating and drinking, he patted his chest and said to Aunt Wang and Su Ting: "Grandma, Mom, you can rest assured and wait for my good news at home!"

In front of He Yan, the two smiled and agreed, but as soon as he left, Aunt Wang shook her head and said, "This child doesn't know how to be humble at all."

Su Ting said: "As long as you are not blindly confident, it's fine."

Su Ting has always felt that it is better to be confident than inferior, and the attitude of parents will greatly affect the child's personality, so she usually praises He Yan.

He Dongchuan is a typical strict father in front of his son. He will pour cold water on He Yan when he gets angry.

Therefore, He Yan's self-confidence is based on his own strength, and he will be more restrained when he is outside, so Su Ting has never thought about correcting his character.

Aunt Wang just said this. Seeing He Yan so confident, she was also very happy in her heart. So after listening to Su Ting's words, she nodded in agreement: "That's right."

He Yan was indeed confident. After the final exam results came out, he scored 100 points again and ranked first in the grade.

Moreover, the final exam was more difficult than the midterm exam, and many students did not perform well. The second-ranked student in the grade was a full ten points lower than He Yan.

For two days in a row, He Yan walked with a gusto, until he heard that Aunt Wang was going back to the capital. Then his excitement came to an abrupt end. He was reluctant to let Aunt Wang go.

But he was very sensible, and after Su Ting told him that Aunt Wang was not adaptable to the climate of Pingchuan Island and that his grandparents also needed someone to take care of them, he accepted the matter.

Because of this incident, He Yan did not run out after finishing his homework like he did in the previous few days. Instead, he stayed at home obediently for two days, watching Su Ting and Aunt Wang pack their luggage.

Because of the incorrect estimation of the temperature on Pingchuan Island, Aunt Wang brought a lot of luggage with her, including two rattan boxes filled with clothes for all four seasons. In addition to what she was wearing, she also brought a thick cotton jacket.

After arriving at Pingchuan Island, I hardly ever wore my thick cotton jacket, and I only wore my sweater for less than half a month.

Although it is summer now, the body shape of adults will not change, and the clothes she brought can still be worn next year, so she must take them back.

There were also clothes that Su Ting and He Dongchuan bought for her one after another. Due to the time period, they bought her not many clothes, just two sets, one of which was a summer dress. When stacked up, they didn't take up much space and could be stuffed directly into the wicker box.

But in addition to clothes, Su Ting prepared a lot of dried seafood, such as dried abalone, dried sea cucumber, and dried scallops. These are all good things, which are rarely supplied in inland cities. Even if He's father is of high rank, it is difficult to get them.

There were also various dried fruits and locally produced tea, which filled a woven bag before I knew it.

In fact, Su Ting had also sent these things to the capital before Aunt Wang came. He's father had long since changed his tea to Tieguanyin produced in Fujian. Every time he entertained friends, he would use tea as an excuse to talk about his daughter-in-law's filial piety.

Now all his old friends know that his son has married a good wife and that Fujian tea is really good, so they ask him to help buy it every now and then.

Therefore, tea has been an indispensable part of every parcel sent to the capital over the past year.

These things could actually be packed up and sent back, but if you don’t bring back some local specialties when you arrive at a place, it won’t look right, so Aunt Wang insisted on bringing them back herself.

Su Ting thought that on the day Aunt Wang left, they would definitely send her on the train. After arriving in the capital, someone would pick her up at the train station, so she wouldn't have to carry things for a long time by herself, so she helped prepare a lot of things.

It is not difficult to prepare these things. You can just buy dried seafood from the fishing brigade on the island. Every household there has the skills. The dried seafood they produce is usually collected by the city’s purchasing stations, processed and put in department stores, or even transported out of the province for sale.

If you buy dry goods directly from them, although there is no layer of packaging, the price can be much cheaper.

Dried fruits and tea were bought directly from the supply and marketing cooperative. Many leaders in the army also love to drink tea, so there are many varieties of tea in the supply and marketing cooperative. Su Ting bought a few cans of Tieguanyin and two cans of white tea.

White tea is cool in nature, can reduce heat and reduce internal heat, and is suitable for drinking in summer.

In addition, considering that it would take about 30 hours to travel from Fuzhou to the capital, Su Ting prepared some snacks and fruits for Aunt Wang to eat on the way. As for the problem of meals, she also prepared national food coupons, enough for Aunt Wang to eat.

While Su Ting was helping Aunt Wang pack her luggage, He Yan also prepared a gift for Aunt Wang, a very beautiful little conch.

He picked up the conch last summer when he went to the beach with the kids in the compound. It was the size of a palm, and when he put it to his ear, he could hear the sound of the tide. The conch had a pointed head and a big butt, and was pinkish white in color. It looked very nice after being washed.

He Yan once couldn't let go of this conch. Even though his feelings for it faded after he looked at it too many times, he still placed the conch on his desk so that he could see it every day when he looked up.

Now, he gave his favorite conch to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was very surprised to receive this gift. She originally didn't want to take away someone else's good thing, but He Yan insisted because he hoped that every time Aunt Wang saw the conch, she would think of him.

Finally, Aunt Wang promised, "I will think of you often."

After packing the luggage, Sunday arrived. That day, the whole He family went out to see Aunt Wang off.

The train ticket was bought by He Dongchuan through someone. The train was at 4pm, so they did not rush out that day. Instead, they set out after lunch.

Aunt Wang did not cook for lunch. Instead, He Dongchuan was the chef and Su Ting was his assistant.

Having lived on the island for so long, Aunt Wang had already figured out the couple's situation. She knew that Su Ting didn't cook much, and when He Dongchuan was not at home, she and He Yan always ate in the cafeteria.

If she had known about this when she was younger, she would definitely have had some opinions about Su Ting. At that time, she had traditional ideas and believed that men should be the breadwinners and women should be the homemakers.

But He's mother was a practitioner of the saying "women hold up half the sky" and always put work first. Before she came to He's house, the three of them ate in the cafeteria all year round, and there were many working women like He's mother in the military compound.

Aunt Wang has been around progressive people for a long time and her thinking has improved a lot. She knows that although Su Ting has been staying at home for a long time, she actually has a job and can earn money. Her income is not lower than He Dongchuan, so she thinks it's nothing.

Seeing He Dongchuan cooking, she felt quite happy because she didn't often eat his cooking.

Not to mention eating the food he cooked, she didn't even know he could cook before going to the island. He kept it a secret.

After dinner, as soon as they got out of the door, they set off. They were all very happy on the way, especially Man Man. She slept through the day she was discharged from the hospital, so today was her first time taking a boat. After getting on the boat, she danced with joy, stretched her neck, and stared at the sea outside.

But when they arrived at the train station and heard the sound of the train pulling into the station, the sadness of parting instantly surged into his heart, and He Yan couldn't help crying out loud.

My brother couldn't hold back his tears anymore and started crying loudly.

Aunt Wang touched He Yan's head and comforted him, "Silly child, it's not like we won't see each other again in the future, why are you crying?"

He Yan choked up and asked, "When can we meet again?"

Aunt Wang looked up at He Dongchuan, who thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back during the Chinese New Year. If we can take a vacation, we'll go back."

He spent the New Year on Pingchuan Island last year, so he should be able to return to the capital this year. However, his vacation will not be too long. Their annual vacation is one month. So far this year, he has already taken almost ten days of vacation, and the maximum he can take during the New Year is twenty days.

"See, we'll see each other again soon," said Aunt Wang.

He Yan nodded: "Yeah."

Although she was still young, she already had the potential to be her brother's follower. When she saw her brother stop crying, her crying gradually stopped and she blinked her eyes and looked at Aunt Wang.

She is still young and doesn't understand what separation is.

Aunt Wang looked at the little girl in Su Ting's arms, her heart softened. Although they had not been together for a long time, she had watched this child being born and growing up. In her heart, the child gradually became the same as He Yan.

I can't bear to do that.

But no matter how reluctant you are, there is still a time to say goodbye. Aunt Wang touched Manman's head, exhaled and said, "Then, I'm in the car?"

"I'll take you there." He Dongchuan picked up the luggage and helped Aunt Wang get in the car.

He Dongchuan asked someone to buy a soft sleeper, which was much better than other carriages and more spacious, with four beds in a private room. Those who could afford to buy sleeper tickets in those days were from better-off families and were more polite in their speech.

When they got on the car, there were already two people in the private room. They were on business trips arranged by the local state-owned factory to the capital. When they saw He Dongchuan in military uniform, they seemed to be cadres, and they were quite enthusiastic about him. He Dongchuan took the opportunity to ask them to take care of Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang was an adult, and there was only so much they could do to take care of her. He Dongchuan did not expect them to help buy meals and serve dishes. At most, if she felt unwell during the journey, she hoped they could help call the servants.

Both of them understood what He Dongchuan meant and agreed immediately.

He Dongchuan put Aunt Wang's luggage away and placed the bag of fruit snacks directly on the bed. Seeing that it was almost time, he said to Aunt Wang, "Then I'll get off the bus."

Aunt Wang said, "Hey, go back. I took the train when I came here. I know everything. You don't have to worry."

"Okay, now that you're home, remember to call me."

"Know."

The train whistle sounded again, whistling, and the train might depart at any time. He Dongchuan didn't dare to delay any longer, so he waved to Aunt Wang and got off the train.

As soon as He Dongchuan got off the train, the attendant started to close the door, and soon the train started moving.

Aunt Wang walked to the window and waved at the family of four: "Go back!"

Su Ting responded but did not turn around immediately. She stood with He Dongchuan and his son, holding Manman, and watched the train leave her sight before leaving.

After leaving the train station, the four of them went straight to catch a train, but not to the pier, but to the post office, where Su Ting wanted to mail out the last issue of the manuscript.

Afterwards they went to the department store.

Su Ting has not left Pingchuan Island since November last year. When she entered the department store again, she felt like she was in another world. She wanted to see everything and buy everything.

However, time did not permit them, so they wandered around the first floor for a while, bought some food and then left.

After boarding the boat back to Pingchuan Island, Su Ting looked at the sea dyed red by the setting sun, brushed her hair behind her ears and said, "Let's go to the department store again next Sunday."

"Um?"

"I want to buy clothes." Su Ting said that she hadn't bought many clothes since her belly got bigger, but now she has a strong desire to shop.

Although He Dongchuan didn't quite understand the saying that a woman's wardrobe is always missing a piece of clothing, he never restricted Su Ting in this regard and nodded without any objection: "Okay."

His straightforwardness pleased Su Ting. No matter what era, generous men are always more popular than stingy ones.

For example, He Dongchuan, he is very popular with her now.

…

Just two days after Aunt Wang returned to the capital, Su Ting and her friends received a package from Cheng Xiaoman.

After opening it, Su Ting was surprised to see two cans of formula milk powder inside, because most milk powder at that time was milk substitute powder, with rice flour and egg yolk powder as supplementary materials. It was nutritious, but not as comprehensive as the formula milk powder of later generations.

Although the formula milk powder sent by Cheng Xiaoman was not as good as the formula milk powder of later generations, it was still much better than milk substitute.

However, the milk powder for children cannot be changed frequently, so Su Ting did not rush to try new milk powder. Instead, she put them away and planned to wait until the baby had finished drinking the milk substitute powder she had bought before.

After He Dongchuan learned of Su Ting's idea, he directly relayed it to Cheng Xiaoman when she called and asked about this matter.

He Yan drank milk powder when he was a child, so Cheng Xiaoman was quite familiar with this aspect. After hearing what her son said, she knew that she was anxious, and said with a smile: "Your wife is really thoughtful. OK, wait until you try it and get used to drinking it, then come back to me."

After learning that Aunt Wang was going back to the capital, Cheng Xiaoman has been worried, fearing that Su Ting is too young and inexperienced and won't be able to take care of a child.

But after this incident, Cheng Xiaoman had a more stable impression of Su Ting, and she felt much more at ease.

A few days after this phone call, three months had passed.

Three months is not considered a big anniversary. Usually when a child is born, there will be a lot of fun on the full month, hundred days and first birthday. And if you invite guests, you only invite once on these three days.

If someone were to treat others to drinks three times in a row and accept gifts every time, he would definitely be known as a money-grubber.

But in He Dongchuan's heart, this day is very important, but the reason has nothing to do with Man Man, but because on this day he can be completely lifted from the ban.

It is no longer necessary to just kiss to satisfy the craving, or to caress and hug until the end and then have to solve it with the hands, or even just go to the bathroom and take a cold shower.

This thought entered He Dongchuan's mind as soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, prompting him to not get up quietly as usual, but to hug the sleeping Su Ting and kiss her to wake her up.

Su Ting was indeed awake, and she pushed him aside and asked, "What are you crazy about so early in the morning?"

"It's been three months." He Dongchuan said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Su Ting narrowed her eyes and waited for the next words.

"You said before that I should abstain from sex for three months to recuperate."

Although He Dongchuan didn't say it explicitly, Su Ting immediately understood what he meant and asked unhappily, "Is this all you have in your mind?"

"And I'm pretending to be you."

Su Ting: “…”

Seeing that she remained silent, He Dongchuan frowned: "You won't regret it, will you?"

"What if I regret it?"

"It's no use regretting it. Tonight I want to..." He Dongchuan leaned close to Su Ting's ear and said something very vulgar in a low voice.

Su Ting opened her eyes wide, pink spreading from her ears to her cheeks.

He Dongchuan chuckled and was about to kiss Su Ting again. The two of them were very close, and the changes in their bodies could not be hidden at all. Of course, he didn't try to hide it, and just kissed her like that.

Su Ting was afraid that he would be late for the camp, so she leaned back to avoid his kiss: "If you keep dawdling, we'll be late."

The low laugh turned into a sigh. He Dongchuan bit Su Ting's lips lightly and turned over and sat up with strong self-control: "I'm going to take a shower."

Su Ting smiled and said, "Comrade He today is another good comrade who is clean and hygienic!"

Since she became pregnant, He Dongchuan was forced to develop the habit of taking two baths a day, but Su Ting strongly supported his love of cleanliness and often applauded to show her support for him.

But in He Dongchuan's view, Su Ting's support always had a sarcastic tone and was a bit hateful. However, he had no choice but to take a deep breath and tell himself that this was his wife.

But today, he was full of pride and threatened, "Come back tonight and see how I'll deal with you."

In order to show his determination to deal with Su Ting, after taking a shower and returning to the master bedroom that night, He Dongchuan took out a handful of condoms from the cabinet.

When Manman was just born, Su Ting told He Dongchuan that they would not have a third child.

Although He Dongchuan's thoughts are similar to those of many people nowadays, believing that having many children means more blessings, after seeing the pain Su Ting went through when giving birth, he no longer had any thoughts about having a third child, and the two of them hit it off immediately.

Since she didn't want to get pregnant, she had to find a way to avoid pregnancy. At that time, sterilization surgery was already available, but Su Ting didn't trust the medical level in the 1970s and didn't think about it, so she chose to use a condom.

Condoms were available at that time, but there were very few channels to purchase them. Basically, they were only sold in hospitals. The Women's Federation would also distribute them every month, but the quantity was very small.

For his own happiness, He Dongchuan would go to the city hospital to buy condoms every time he went to the city, and he would buy them within the quota.

Although He Dongchuan wore casual clothes every time he went to the hospital in order not to be too conspicuous, he went too frequently and had an outstanding appearance. After a few visits, everyone in the hospital knew him and looked at him strangely.

He Dongchuan noticed it, but shamelessly chose to ignore it.

After Su Ting knew about this, she was silent for a while, but she did not laugh at He Dongchuan. As a mature person, she knew that what he did was right.

Although she really wanted to go to a certain website and ask, how hard can a man fight to eat meat?
