It's not hard to get the key, but it's not easy to move in.

The house Su Ting chose had been vacant for at least half a year. The floor was covered with a layer of dust, and there were cobwebs in the corners of one of the second bedrooms. The kitchen was the most difficult to clean because it was full of grease and dirt. After the dust fell, it could only be wiped with a cleaning ball and soapy water.

After Su Ting came back from the scrub, she found that several of her nails were split, and all ten of her fingers were scaly. Applying vanishing cream after a shower didn't help. When He Dongchuan came back and examined her, he asked, "What happened to your hands?"

"It's nothing. I went to clean the kitchen today. There was a lot of grease, so I used a cleaning ball to clean it. Plus, it was soaked in water for a long time, so it became like this," Su Ting said, looking at her hand. "It should be fine in two days."

He Dongchuan said, "Don't go to clean the house tomorrow. Wait until I have a day off."

"I have almost finished the work in the past two days." Su Ting said as she thought, "I can only deal with the cabinets when you have a day off. Can you take a day off this Sunday?"

"If I don't rest, the people below me also need to rest."

"Okay, the luggage should have been delivered by then, so we can just go to the post office to pick it up." Su Ting said with a bit of worry, "How are we going to get the luggage back then?"

The Shanghai base is not in the urban area, but in the county town below. The county was abolished and the districts were divided into districts in the 1990s, so if they want to pick up the packages, they can just go to the county town.

The problem is that the Shanghai base is a bit far from the county town due to various reasons. Although there is a car to go to the county town, it would not be easy to get so much luggage back.

"That's easy. I'll just apply tomorrow and borrow a car to drive over." He Dongchuan touched Su Ting's hand and said, "Don't worry about the house. We'll take care of the rest on Sunday."

Su Ting thought the house was almost ready, and all that was left was the finishing touches and furniture, so she nodded and said, "Okay, do you think we should add some furniture?"

"Furniture, for sure."

Putting aside other things, you need to have at least two desks, one for Su Ting to work and one for He Yan to do homework. If there is not enough space at home, you can just have one, or at most put it in the living room for the two of them to share, so it won't cause any trouble.

I also need to build a new wardrobe and move the old one to the second bedroom, but I have to go to the house to decide which room to put it in. As for the sofa, teak and other things, if the house can accommodate them, I will put them all in. If not, there is nothing I can do.

He Dongchuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see what kind of furniture and what size it will be on Sunday. Oh, by the way, Zhao Junping said he knows someone who has cotton and can help us ask around. If the other party is willing to sell it, I plan to buy some back."

Cotton is a good thing, but what Su Ting is most worried about now is cotton.

They only have two quilts for winter in their house, and this winter refers to the winter on Pingchuan Island. The thickness of the quilts is not enough to cope with the temperature in Shanghai in winter.

According to Su Ting's plan, in the early stage they might have to put everything they could cover on the quilt, and then use the industrial coupons issued by He Dongchuan to buy a new blanket, and use it together for a while, and then see if they can get cotton coupons.

Su Ting was of course very happy that she could get what she wanted in one step. She looked at He Dongchuan with bright eyes and asked, "How many kilograms of cotton can I buy?"

"The minimum is 10 kilograms. I asked him to ask around to see if he can buy 20 kilograms."

"Is twenty kilograms too much? A quilt of eight kilograms of cotton should be enough." Su Ting pondered and said. She remembered that before her family bought a down quilt, they used a quilt weighing six to eight kilograms, which was already very warm.

Of course, in addition to being warm, the quilt is also very heavy, and you can't move once you lie in it.

He Dongchuan said, "I asked him to ask for me. He said that we might not be able to buy that much. Besides, it's not a bad thing to buy more cotton. We can make another quilt weighing four kilograms."

Su Ting thought so too. If she was going to stay here for a long time, it would not be a bad thing to have a few more quilts at home, so she decided on this matter.

…

Although she did not continue with the hygiene, Su Ting still took Man Man to her new home the next day.

When Su Ting left the house after cleaning yesterday, she saw that the weather outside was not very good and it looked like it was going to rain, so she closed the window when she left. But it didn't rain last night, and the sun came out early this morning, so she wanted to open the window to let in some fresh air to avoid any smell when she moved in.

Because she didn't have to clean, Su Ting prepared to leave after opening the window. However, when she opened the door, the door opposite also opened, and a well-dressed woman appeared in front of Su Ting.

The reason why I say they are particular is that people at that time didn't dress up much. They wore their long hair in a braid or short hair that went over their ears without any decorations. Their clothes were of a few colors: black, white, blue, green, and gray. Their tops were either green military uniforms or welcoming uniforms. Skirts were rare. They basically wore long pants, and a pair of small leather shoes was considered a special item.

In this environment, Su Ting, who didn't dress up much, became a fashionista in the compound. Although she always wore her hair in a braid and had no decorations on her head, her clothes came in a variety of colors and styles, and she loved wearing skirts.

In the past, some people talked about her behind her back, saying that she came from a peasant family but had only learned some petty-bourgeois ways. Su Ting heard this and retorted.

All her clothes were bought from department stores. If they were not wearable, the department store would be investigated first. But since they can be sold, there is no problem.

So after being criticized, Su Ting continued to do as she pleased.

But she still had her concerns. She didn't dare to put on powder or lipstick, and she seldom drew her eyebrows. Compared with the person opposite her, she was quite plain.

The person opposite had long hair, but she didn't tie it up. Instead, it was casually scattered. However, her hair was of good quality, and it looked like it had been pulled together, black and straight, and not messy.

She wore a black knitted hat and a red woolen coat. Her sweater and trousers were ordinary, but this outfit would not be out of fashion even after decades.

Moreover, her eyebrows were thin and long, and had obviously been retouched and painted. Her skin was fair, and traces of goose egg powder could be seen when you got close. Her lips were not dark in color, but flesh pink.

Generally speaking, the makeup on her face is not heavy, and people who don't know much about makeup may not be able to tell that she is wearing makeup.

But Su Ting wore makeup all the time when she was working in her previous life, so she could see at a glance the "little tricks" she put on her makeup, and therefore concluded that the woman in front of her lived a very refined life.

After a quick look, Su Ting smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Su Ting, and I'm a new military wife who just moved here."

"My name is Shen Xuan, with the Chinese character for Wang on the right and the character for rotation on the left." Although the other person didn't smile, his tone was gentle and polite. After introducing himself, he looked at Manman and said, "Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, her full name is He Miao, Sanshui Miao, and her nickname is Man Man." Su Ting lowered her head and said, "Man Man, come and say hello to your aunt."

"Hello, auntie." She said slowly in a baby voice.

Shen Xuan smiled: "The child is very well behaved."

"Thank you." Su Ting smiled and turned to lock the door while asking, "Are you going out?"

"Well, I have to go to the city to do something." Shen Xuan also asked, "Have you moved here?"

Su Ting shook her head and said, "Not yet. Our luggage was sent by mail, and the package hasn't arrived yet. It will probably be Sunday."

"So you are staying in a guesthouse now?"

"Um."

The two locked the door and walked to the staircase together. Su Ting took a half step back while holding him: "You go down first."

Shen Xuan nodded and asked as he walked down, "Did you just come to join the army?"

"My husband used to live in Mindi, but he was recently transferred here. We moved here from Mindi."

Shen Xuan thought thoughtfully: "So, what's Fujian like? Is it hot in the summer?"

"It's probably a little hotter than Shanghai in the summer, but not that cold in the winter. To be honest, the thing we were most worried about when we moved here was the quilt, which was too thin."

Shen Xuan pondered and said, "Well, I have two extra quilts at home. If you need them, I can lend them to you for a while."

Su Ting was surprised. Didn't Zhang Yanping say that she didn't like to talk to people? This... doesn't seem like it.

But this is a good thing. They just met and hadn't talked for a few sentences, but Shen Xuan was willing to lend her a quilt, which shows that she is actually a warm-hearted person. As for why Zhang Yanping thinks she is arrogant, it may be because they don't interact much in normal times, and she doesn't look like a very outgoing person.

Su Ting smiled and thanked him, then waved her hand and said, "I don't think you need to borrow the quilt. We are trying to find some cotton. If everything goes well, we should be able to make the quilt next week."

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, you can come to us."

Su Ting didn't try to distance herself from her, but smiled and said, "We live next door to each other. If we really have difficulties in the future, I will definitely not be polite to you."

As they were talking, the two of them walked past the basketball court and arrived at the gate of the compound.

Shen Xuan was going to the city for work, and Su Ting was going back to the guesthouse, so they took different roads and separated here.

After they separated, Su Ting did not go back directly, but went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, bought two kilograms of oranges, and carried them back with Man Man.

If there is anything wrong with moving to the base in Shanghai, the cold winter is one, and the lack of fruit is another. There are only three common fruits here in winter: oranges, apples and pears.

Su Ting doesn't like apples, and the same goes for pears. If someone peels one and gives it to her, she will eat a piece, but she never buys fruit in private.

After traveling through time, because there were many fruits on Pingchuan Island, Su Ting kept this habit. So she picked and chose in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she found that the only things she wanted to buy were oranges.

There were some biscuits and snacks that she wanted to try, and she even spotted the White Rabbit milk candy, but they didn't have tickets, so they could only hold back and wait until their household registration was approved.

However, the efficiency of the Shanghai base is really slow. It has been three or four days since she submitted her documents, but her household registration has not been processed yet.

Thinking about food, Su Ting went to the Military Dependents Settlement Office again in the afternoon to inquire about her household registration.

I have to say that some things are useful if you repeat them several times. She had just finished repeating this matter in the morning, and in the afternoon she went to the Military Dependents Resettlement Office to inquire, and the household registration was settled.

Along with the household registration, there were also grain books, coal books, non-staple food supply books and industrial books, but there were only a few days left in the month, so not many tickets were issued.

However, Su Ting did not mind. When she returned home in the evening, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the cakes and toffee that she had been longing for for a long time.

So when He Yan came back from school, he found several more kinds of food on the living room table. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Where did these come from?"

"Of course I bought them. You can eat whatever you want. But don't eat too much cakes or you won't be able to eat later. The same goes for candies. Too much candy will cause cavities."

When they were in Pingchuan Island, their cupboard was always stocked with cakes, biscuits and various fruits, but after coming here, all of these were gone, so He Yan was indeed a little greedy.

But he said he could do it and promised Su Ting not to eat too much. After eating an orange, a piece of cake and a candy, he really stopped, took out a notebook and pen, and sat at the desk to do his homework.

The textbooks here in Shanghai are somewhat different from those in Fujian, and the learning progress is also faster, so he was very busy after entering the school. Having been the top student in the grade for several years, he didn't want to be at the bottom of the class in the first exam like he was when he first transferred to Pingchuan Island.

At least in the top three in the grade.

He Yan set a goal in his mind.

…

He Dongchuan came back early that night, and Su Ting heard a knock on the door just after eight o'clock.

The two children were very happy to see him come back. They surrounded him and asked, "Dad, why did you come back so early today?"

"It ended early, so I came back." He Dongchuan touched He Yan's head, picked up his daughter and kissed her, then asked, "Were you good at home today?"

"Be good!" he answered slowly and loudly.

He Yan said: "I did a lot of homework."

He Dongchuan walked slowly to the desk with He Yan in his arms and took a quick look at He Yan's homework. His handwriting had gotten better and better over the past six months. Although his pen strokes were not sharp, they looked very neat.

"How are you doing academically? Are you able to keep up?" He Dongchuan asked. He knew that the progress of the military primary schools in Shanghai was faster than that on the island.

He Yan is no longer the illiterate person he was before. He said calmly, "It's OK. Although I haven't learned some of the texts, I can understand them by reading the books myself."

"How's math?" After entering the fourth grade, they began to learn to set x unknown numbers and x equations to solve problems, which was much more difficult than the third grade.

Mathematics is He Yan's strong point. He is even more confident when talking about this: "Don't worry, I will definitely do well in the midterm exam."

His goal is to maintain the third place and fight for the first place!

Seeing how confident he was, He Dongchuan didn't say anything. After learning that they had all taken a shower, he found some clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he finished bathing and washing clothes, the brother and sister were already lying on the bed, listening to Su Ting's story. He followed the sound and took over his wife's job, reading to the two children.

He Yan, who was still excited just now, immediately lay down, closed his eyes, and said loudly, "I fell asleep!" when he saw his father picked up the military book.

Although Man Man didn't understand why, he followed his brother and said softly, "I'm going to sleep too!"

The two children were sensible, so He Dongchuan stopped reading to them. He put away his textbooks and said to Su Ting, "Since the children are asleep, let's go back to sleep too."

Su Ting looked at the two children pretending to sleep on the bed: "..." Okay.

As soon as the couple returned to the room, He Dongchuan pressed Su Ting against the door and kissed her, and the kiss tended to move further down.

Normally, Su Ting should feel hot and dry, but the winter in Shanghai is cold and damp. After she washed up, she didn't put on a coat and was only wearing a sweater that was neither thin nor thick.

In addition, her back was against the cold door panel, so during the kiss, Su Ting not only did not feel hot, but felt colder and colder.

Especially when He Dongchuan's broad hand reached into the hem of her shirt from behind, the cold wind followed his warm palm upwards, half hot and half cool. Su Ting couldn't help but say, "If you keep going, I'm going to catch a cold."

He Dongchuan stopped moving instantly, and after a moment of silence, he picked her up and said, "Let's go to bed."

…

The next night, He Dongchuan came back very early again, and he was holding a snakeskin bag that was full of things.

Su Ting opened her mouth wide: "What is this?"

"cotton."

Su Ting's eyes lit up and a smile spread across her face. "Did you buy cotton? How many kilograms is this?"

"Twenty pounds."

"Is it really twenty pounds?"

"Several households came together."

There are private plots in the countryside, but they are not big, just a small piece. Most people grow vegetables, but few grow cotton. Even if they do, they won’t plant too much, basically just enough to make their own quilts and cotton-padded jackets. So, one or two families really can’t afford 20 kilograms of cotton.

However, there were so many people in a brigade, and although not many families had cotton, the number was not small either. Those who were not in a hurry to make quilts or cotton-padded jackets thought that the cotton would just sit there anyway, so it would be better to sell it and make some money so that they could have a better time during the New Year.

So each family pooled their resources and together they had 20 kilograms of cotton.

But having cotton was not enough, he had to find someone to pluck the cotton. No one in the brigade where he bought the cotton had this skill, and the brigade with this skill was far away. He Dongchuan was too lazy to bother with it late at night, so he just brought the cotton back.

"So are we going to look for this human bomb cotton tomorrow?"

"I asked someone to get two cotton thread tickets. Let's go to the county flower shop tomorrow to ask. If there aren't many people in line, we can put them in the county shop."

There are only two things needed to make a quilt: cotton and cotton thread. Workers don't need tickets to do the work, they just need to be paid.

They had everything they needed, so there was no need to ask anyone for quilts. The only thing they had to consider was time. The house had already been allocated to them, and they were going to move in soon, so they were in a hurry to get quilts.

Thinking of this, He Dongchuan asked, "Have our luggage been sent?"

“Should it have been mailed?”

When the package was sent, they took the delivery note themselves and did not send it separately, so Su Ting did not know whether it had arrived. However, it only takes about a week to send an urgent item from the capital to Fuzhou. Fuzhou is closer to Shanghai. It has been a week and a half, so it should have arrived.

Su Ting said, "Let's go to the post office tomorrow to check."

He Dongchuan nodded: "Okay."

Because they had a lot of things to do the next day, the couple went to bed early that night.

He Yan didn't have to go to school on Sunday, so Su Ting didn't set the alarm and woke up later than usual, opening her eyes at around 7 a.m. It was already light outside, and the other side of the bed was cold, as He Dongchuan had already gotten up.

I got dressed and went out. Sure enough, there was breakfast on the table, but it was still warm to the touch, obviously He Dongchuan had not been back for long.

As soon as the thought flashed through my mind, he came out of the bathroom and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Well, when did you get up?"

"It's around 6:30. I went out for a walk and bought some breakfast. Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll go wake the kids up."

Su Ting responded and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Knowing that they could go out and play today, the brother and sister were very excited. There was no fuss when they got up. Before eight o'clock, they finished their breakfast and went downstairs to get ready to go out.

When he went down, he ran into Zhang Yanping. Seeing He Dongchuan holding a snakeskin bag, she asked in surprise, "What are you going to do with so many things?"

"Go to the city post office to pick up something." Su Ting replied.

"You just moved in and someone sent you something?"

"We sent it ourselves before we came here. Some luggage."

Zhang Yanping suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Be careful on your journey then."

Su Ting smiled and let the two children wave goodbye to her.

After walking out of the guesthouse, Su Ting saw a military jeep parked outside. When she saw He Dongchuan walking over, she knew that he had applied to borrow the car and got in with his two children.

He Yan lived with his grandpa in the capital until he was six years old. Although he went out every now and then, he could still take advantage of his grandpa's presence occasionally. In addition, when he returned to the capital before the New Year, the guards arranged by He's father to pick them up also drove a military jeep, so he didn't think it was strange to see this car.

But he gradually had no memory of what happened during last year's Chinese New Year, so his attitude when he saw the jeep was exactly the opposite of his brother's. After getting in the car, he touched things here and there and didn't stop even when Su Ting was holding him.

The Shanghai base is not far from the county seat, and it only takes about 20 minutes to drive there.

After arriving at the county seat, they went to the Flower Dance Society first.

The front of Danhuashe is not big, and the inside is only about 20 to 30 square meters. There are two counters on each side of the entrance, selling cotton thread, cotton and cotton cloth. There is also a table opposite the door, which is considered the front desk, responsible for registering customer information and arranging them. There is an aisle behind the front desk that leads directly to the backyard.

The backyard is where they work. The cotton-picking business is good in winter and they start work on time at 7 o'clock every day. The sound of cotton-picking comes from the back. Those of them are used to it and don't think much of it. But Su Ting felt uncomfortable when she heard it for the first time.

Then he slowly pouted his lips, plugged his ears with his fingers and said, "It doesn't sound good."

After hearing this, He Dongchuan asked Su Ting to take the two children out, and he stayed here to register. He also gave the car keys to Su Ting and asked them to get back in the car.

Su Ting really didn't like the sound of cotton being fluffed, so she took the key and took the two children out.

After returning to the car, he slowly became lively again, stood on the seat, leaned over the window to look out, and blew air into the window from time to time. Looking at the mist covering the glass window, he couldn't help giggling.

After waiting for about ten minutes, He Dongchuan came out and handed a list to Su Ting.

Su Ting opened the list and looked at it. The content on it was very detailed. In addition to recording the quantity of cotton and cotton thread tickets received, it also recorded the quantity of cotton needed for the quilts to be made and the single quilts. Finally, it also wrote down the money given by He Dongchuan and the time to pick up the goods.

"Three days?"

He Dongchuan said, "Well, I'll take a leave and come with you to get it."

Su Ting nodded, folded up the list and asked, "Will there be any returns on cotton and cotton thread by then?"

"The cotton can be returned, and the unused cotton thread will be returned to us depending on the situation. However, from what the staff said, there is a high probability that there will be no cotton thread left."

The leftover cotton thread is of no use. To put it simply, Su Ting's needlework is not as good as He Dongchuan's.

He served in the army when he was young, and he had been mending his torn clothes by himself over the years. Although his skills were not very good, at least he could make the patches smooth.

Su Ting was not so lucky. She had never mended her clothes before she traveled through time. Even during the poorest six months, when her clothes were worn out, all she did was buy a T-shirt online for 9.9 yuan each.

Not to mention, even though the 9.9 dollar T-shirt is rarely worn, it doesn’t look cheap. Anyway, if she doesn’t tell anyone, no one else will know how much she paid for it.

Su Ting had no pressure to throw away such a T-shirt when it was worn out. It was not like now, when she had to think twice before buying a piece of clothing, and even began to learn how to mend clothes clumsily.

She was really clumsy. The first time she sewed clothes, Su Ting poked three holes on her fingers.

Up to now, the clothes she had mended were just barely presentable, far inferior to those of He Dongchuan, so the work of mending clothes at home basically fell on He Dongchuan.

But to be frank, their skills are about the same. They can only repair the clothes that the children accidentally tore while playing. If the hole gets bigger, they basically have to buy new ones.

Therefore, the small roll of cotton thread supplied by the industry every month is enough for them to use, and it doesn’t matter whether there is any cotton thread left over. But then again, the cotton thread used for cotton spinning seems to be different from that used for sewing clothes, and it is much thicker.

While they were daydreaming, they arrived at the post office. They took the delivery note to find the staff and when they asked, they found that the package had indeed arrived and was piled in the corner.

The staff checked the number of items on the pick-up order, and after confirming that there was no problem, they let them take the items away.

There were quite a few packages, and they were all quite large. Fortunately, the jeep was big, and after stuffing them all into the back seat, there was still some space left for He Yan to sit.

After picking up the package, they did not go back directly, but returned to the post office to call He Dongchuan's parents. Su Ting also sent a letter to Su's father and mother to tell their family that they had settled in Shanghai.

After the call, they went to the county supply and marketing cooperative for a visit.

The supply and marketing cooperative was not big, with only two more counters than the larger ones, and a few electrical appliances were displayed to make it look presentable.

Although her household registration was approved, Su Ting still didn’t have many tickets on hand, so she didn’t buy much. She just looked around and went back.

After entering the compound, He Dongchuan drove directly to the bottom of the tenth building. The residents on the first floor heard the noise and ran over to see what was happening. When they saw Su Ting, they greeted her and asked, "Comrade Su is here? Is this your husband?"

The person who spoke was Meng Xiuzhen, who lived on the second floor of their home. Su Ting had met her before when she came to clean the sanitation. She knew that she was a kind person, so she introduced her with a smile: "This is my husband He Dongchuan, and this is Sister Meng who lives downstairs from us."

He Dongchuan nodded and said, "Sister Meng."

"Hello, Comrade He," Sister Meng asked with a smile on her face, "Where are you from?"

"I went to the county post office to pick up something."

While Su Ting was answering, He Dongchuan had already opened the back door and was taking things out one by one. Meng Xiuzhen was surprised and asked, "So many things, all from the post office? How much did the postage cost?"

Su Ting said helplessly: "We have no choice. Fujian is too far from Shanghai. We have two children with us and cannot carry so much luggage. We have no choice but to send the large mail here."

Meng Xiuzhen thought about it and realized that moving was not easy. When she first came to follow the army, there were many large items at home. She was reluctant to throw them away, but she couldn't carry them with her, so she had to lock them up at home.

But at least it was their home, and no one could take the things away from the house. Unlike Su Ting and the others, they lived in a house allocated by the army in Fujian, and they couldn't take their things away, so they had to find a way to mail them over.

As they were talking, all the packages were taken down from the back seat. He Dongchuan went upstairs carrying two packages. Su Ting asked He Yan to take Xiaoman downstairs to play while she also dragged a package and prepared to go upstairs.

But she had only taken two steps dragging the package when Meng Xiuzhen came over to lend a hand and said, "Let me help you carry it."

"No need, we can do it ourselves." Su Ting said quickly, feeling sorry to bother her.

Meng Xiuzhen waved her hands and said, "It's okay, we are all neighbors."

After saying that, he didn't stand up, but followed Su Ting to lift the package.

The package looked big, and it was actually quite heavy. The two of them were carrying it, and they were out of breath after climbing only half a flight of stairs. When they took a break, Meng Xiuzhen wiped her sweat and asked, "What's in your package? Why is it so heavy?"

Su Ting said: "They should all be books."

"So many books?" Meng Xiuzhen asked, "Do you like reading?"

"Not bad."

Meng Xiuzhen smiled: "No wonder, the first time I saw you, I felt that you looked like a cultured person."

Su Ting also laughed: "How can you tell?"

"How can I not see it? You know Shen Xuan who lives across from you, right? She has a high level of education, graduated from a technical secondary school, and speaks softly. You have a similar temperament to her." Meng Xiuzhen thought for a moment and added, "But you are not as arrogant as her."

"I don't have as much education as her."

"What is your education?"

"Graduated from junior high school."

"That's because you're not as tall as her, but you have a good education, so it's easy for you to find a job. What did you do before?"

“I didn’t work before.”

"Why? With your degree, it should be easy to find a job, right?" Then he thought of the two children downstairs and said, "You are going to stay at home to take care of the children, right?"

Su Ting said vaguely: "About the same."

"Your daughter is young, so it's not convenient for her to go to work now. It will be easier to send her to a nursery in two years."

As the two of them were chatting, He Dongchuan came out of the house. He was stunned for a moment when he saw them blocking the middle of the floor. Then he walked down the stairs two steps at a time and said to them, "Let me get it."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the package and walked upstairs.

It was difficult for Su Ting and Meng Xiuzhen to lift the package, but He Dongchuan was able to lift it with one hand, and his steps were steady, without showing any sign of effort.

Meng Xiuzhen said with emotion: "Your man is really strong."

Su Ting said modestly: "He is quite strong."

"More than okay, he can definitely pick you up with one hand." Meng Xiuzhen said affirmatively, and suddenly remembered something, raised her hand and bumped Su Ting's arm, "Has he ever picked you up with one hand?"

Su Ting's voice was vague: "... Yeah."

Meng Xiuzhen asked curiously, "Really? When? How did he hug you?"

Su Ting was embarrassed to open her mouth. He Dongchuan had hugged her with one hand more than once, but it was basically at times that were not suitable for children.

Seeing her blushing and silent, Meng Xiuzhen knew what was going on and said in a low voice, "It seems that Deputy Head He is in good health!"

Su Ting immediately thought of something wrong, but she also felt that Meng Xiuzhen didn't mean what she thought. After these few contacts, she felt that Meng Xiuzhen was still quite conservative.

But when she turned her head, she met the teasing gaze of the woman beside her. At that moment, a sentence popped up in Su Ting's mind -

Don’t judge a book by its cover!
