The houses of this era were not like those of later generations, where a house of 70 or 80 square meters could be designed with three bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The living room looked quite spacious when entering the house, but the rooms were as small as a pigeon cage.

The house they were allocated was a little over 100 square meters. The living room and dining room were not very big, especially the dining room. If you put a round dining table in it, there would only be enough space for people to walk through. The living room looked okay, but there was no furniture in it. If the sofa and coffee table were moved in, it would take up half of the space. If you put two cupboards against the wall, there would be no room for anything else.

However, the room was quite spacious, with a 1.5-meter-long bed and a double-door wardrobe. The couple moved the wardrobe to the second bedroom at that time, planning to build a three-door wardrobe and a desk with a mirror, just like they did on Pingchuan Island. This way, they could use it for dressing and working, and save space.

There are two secondary bedrooms, which are side by side and face the same direction, but they are of different sizes. They plan to let their brother and sister live in the larger one, so they need to buy a wardrobe and a desk.

The old closet was moved into the smaller room. They planned to use this room as a storage room until he grew up and was old enough to sleep in a room of his own. In the future, readers' letters from the publishing house would be stuffed here.

After packing their luggage, Su Ting and He Dongchuan quickly worked out the furniture they needed, which came to two wardrobes, two desks, two chests, a set of sofas and coffee tables, and four benches.

It may not seem like much, but it will definitely require a lot of wood. Su Ting asked, "Can we get so much wood?"

"It's hard to get a ticket, but it shouldn't be difficult to spend money to buy wood from nearby brigades." He Dongchuan said that he actually used the same method to make furniture on Pingchuan Island. "Tomorrow I'll ask Lao Zhao. His wife is a local and is familiar with the surrounding situation."

"Okay." Su Ting nodded, and then said, "If this is successful, should we treat Captain Zhao to a meal?"

They settled down in the base in Shanghai and encountered two problems: lack of quilts and furniture. If this was accomplished, it would be all thanks to Zhao Junping's help.

He Dongchuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe in a few days, or next month. By then we won't be so busy, and the supply won't be so tight."

"Okay, you can set the time with him and just tell me in advance."

He Dongchuan raised his eyes and asked, "Do you want to cook?"

Su Ting smiled and said, "You wish. I'll buy the food and you cook."

"Okay." He Dongchuan said this, but he didn't feel disappointed in his heart. He was just thinking about the day when his wife would cook for him, and he didn't care about taking advantage of others.

After finishing her business, Su Ting looked up at the already decorated house and asked, "Should we move in today?"

"Let's wait a few days, until the quilt is ready." It would be too troublesome to move in now and worry about what to cover myself with at night.

Su Ting also thought about moving in a few days, but then she thought of something else and said hesitantly, "But a few days ago I told Director Wang of the Military Family Resettlement Office that we are in a hurry to move in."

"What's wrong?" He Dongchuan asked. He intuitively knew what had happened.

Su Ting did not hide the truth and told the story of what happened at that time: "They were from the same unit, and I didn't know Director Wang well enough to complain directly, so I just lied a little."

"What kind of people are these?" He Dongchuan frowned and said to Su Ting, "Don't worry about this. They have problems with their work attitude. Even if Director Wang knew that we have been staying in the guesthouse, he would not pick a fight with you because of this."

Su Ting thought about it and felt at ease: "Then we can move in a few days."

…

On Wednesday, He Dongchuan took half a day off and drove the borrowed car to the county's Danhua Society to get a quilt. After returning, they checked out of the guesthouse and packed up all the things in Su Ting's room, put them in the car and took them back.

Although they have been living in a guesthouse for the past few days, Su Ting has come to their new home often and has been adding things to it. Now, the pots, pans, and utensils are basically all there, and there is also a coal stove. The only thing missing is the honeycomb coal, which she has to carry with a basket.

Meng Xiuzhen's family had a carrying pole, so she could borrow it, but Su Ting knew her own weight and knew she definitely couldn't lift it. Thinking that they were not in a hurry to move in, she waited for He Dongchuan to come back with peace of mind.

Sure enough, after the things were moved back, as soon as Su Ting said so, He Dongchuan took the coal book and money and went out. He went downstairs and knocked on the door after 202 and asked you, Meng Lizhen, to borrow a shoulder pole.

There was a place selling beehive coal in the compound, not far away, only three or four minutes' walk away. He Dongchuan moved quickly and was back in about ten minutes.

After entering the house, he carried the honeycomb coal directly to the balcony, and wearing white gloves, he arranged the honeycomb coal one by one. By the time he finished arranging the honeycomb coal, his gloves had become half white and half black.

When he finished his work and took off his gloves, a glass of water appeared in front of him. He looked up and saw Su Ting smiling: "You must be tired, drink some water."

He Dongchuan took the cup, raised his eyebrows and asked, "So happy?"

"Yes, a new house means a new start." Su Ting looked up at the house, "We will live here for many years in the future."

He Dongchuan, who was drinking water, took the cup, walked over to Su Ting and hugged her from behind. He leaned forward slightly and put his chin on her shoulder, and responded in a low voice: "Yeah."

Su Ting felt her shoulders sink, but she was in a good mood, so she didn't say congratulations to Dongchuan, and continued to fantasize: "Once the furniture is moved in, the living room will look very different. By the way, have you asked Captain Zhao?"

“Yes.”

He Dongchuan turned his head to the side, his breath falling on Su Ting's neck, making it itchy. She unconsciously lowered her voice: "What did Captain Zhao say?"

"His wife's family has timber for sale in their brigade. He said he would ask his wife to go back and ask today and give me news tomorrow."

"And the carpenter?"

"His wife's second uncle is a carpenter. If I can buy some wood, I'd like to ask him to help make the furniture." As He Dongchuan spoke, his actions gradually became dishonest, and he kissed Su Ting's neck from time to time.

Su Ting couldn't bear the itch anymore, she covered her neck with her hands and said, "Stop making trouble."

"Let's go back to the room."

"In broad daylight."

"What's wrong in broad daylight? It doesn't affect our trying on the quilt." He Dongchuan said in a serious tone.

Su Ting was stunned: "What quilt are you trying?"

"Try to see if the quilt is warm enough." After saying this, He Dongchuan bent down, picked up Su Ting and carried her to the master bedroom.

Because she was afraid to fall asleep in the room, Su Ting didn't dare to speak too loudly and lowered her voice: "You are crazy! Xiaoyan will be out of school soon."

He Dongchuan had already walked into the master bedroom and locked the door. After putting Su Ting on the bed, he looked at his watch and said, "It's not even four o'clock yet. That's enough."

He took off his watch and coat, stood by the bed, bent down, put one hand on Su Ting's ear, and put the other hand on the belt, kissing her lips while unbuckling the belt.

Since moving to the Shanghai base until now, he has eaten meat very few times. There is no other way; he is too busy. He does not come back until after ten o'clock every day, and it is already after eleven o'clock when he finishes washing up. If he does not sleep, Su Ting must also sleep.

Sometimes he came back too early and might not be able to eat meat. The couple talked and time passed by unknowingly.

So now he is very greedy.

He Dongchuan really wanted to indulge himself, but before he was done, there was a slow knock on the door. The two were in the middle of it and neither dared to say a word.

Gradually there was no response from outside, and he thought that his parents were not at home. He panicked and burst into tears.

Hearing the crying sound, Su Ting became anxious. She glared at He Dongchuan and said, "It's all your fault!" and urged him to hurry up.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." He Dongchuan admitted his mistake in a low voice, "I also want to be quick, but..."

He leaned close to Su Ting's ear and whispered something that was very provocative, and was glared at in return. He knew why Su Ting was glaring at him, but he pretended to be stupid and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Ting gritted her teeth and said, "I want to bite you to death."

He Dongchuan's voice became lower and hoarse: "Then bite it."

…

During the intimate moment, He Dongchuan was very arrogant and dared to say all kinds of dirty words. But after the moment, he started to be very reserved and said very gently, "You should sleep for a while. I will go and comfort you slowly."

He quickly put on his clothes, opened the door, went out and picked up the girl who was sitting on the living room floor, crying her heart out, and coaxed her while wiping her tears.

She cried slowly because she thought her parents were missing, so when she saw her father, she quickly stopped crying. But she still felt a little aggrieved, as she didn't understand why her father was in the room but no one answered when she knocked on the door.

But she was young, had a limited vocabulary, and was not able to express herself well. She could only sob and say, "Bad dad."

Just like in front of his wife, He Dongchuan admitted his mistake quickly: "It's Daddy's fault. Daddy was wrong. I have been wronged." Then he stuffed a piece of candy into the girl's mouth, and that was it.

After the crying gradually stopped, Su Ting had rested enough and came out of the house after getting dressed.

Seeing his mother, he slowly tilted his head in confusion while chewing the candy.

Why is Mom in the room too?

She opened her mouth and called out in a vague voice: "Mom?"

"Yeah." Su Ting walked up to the lady, touched her face and said, "Little cat."

He Dongchuan said, "I'll go get some water for her to wash her face."

Su Ting rudely ordered him: "Light up the coal stove and boil some water."

Knowing that she liked to keep herself clean, He Dongchuan said yes, fetched some water and helped her wash her face, then brought the coal stove to the balcony and lit a fire.

But it would take at least an hour from lighting the fire to boiling the water, and Su Ting didn't want to go out covered in sticky clothes, so the father and son went to the cafeteria to get dinner.

Although Shanghai is close to the East China Sea, it is quite far from the sea. The locals eat river fish, and the supply factories are not as good as those in Pingchuan Island. Basically, the only thing they can buy is fish, and each person is only supplied with one kilogram per month. Their family of four can buy four kilograms of fish per month.

The supply of meat is not much. The supply of pork is also one pound, and the supply of chicken and duck is a little less. Each person can have eight or nine eggs per month, which is also one pound.

It sounds like a lot, but after moving to Shanghai, their family's food standard quickly dropped from meat every meal to one meal a day. And if they eat too much meat at the beginning of the month, they may eat vegetarian food every day at the end of the month.

Therefore, after moving to Shanghai, except for He Dongchuan, the other three people in the family had their own problems adapting to the food.

Su Ting is okay. There is always a trade-off. If eating less meat can keep He Dongchuan alive, then she doesn't mind eating vegetarian food.

Moreover, she knew that such days would not last long. After the reform and opening up, Guangdong would be the first to open up the supply, and then coupons would no longer be needed to buy meat and vegetables.

The Shanghai market will be slower to relax, but these are all on the surface. Next winter, fields will be gradually distributed to households in various places, and there will be fewer restrictions on raising poultry. In addition, with the reform and opening up, the authorities will not care about small businesses, so it will definitely be easier for them to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat from farmers than it is now.

Su Ting was very calm because she knew what would happen in the future. However, the two children were at the age when they loved to eat meat. In just half a month, they went from eating seafood to their heart's content to eating only spinach and mustard greens. The difference was huge.

While eating, He Yan couldn't help sighing, and Su Ting couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"I miss Hirakawa Island."

He Dongchuan saw through his son at a glance: "You want to eat, right?"

He Yan didn't want to be treated as a greedy cat by his parents, so he said implicitly: "I just want to eat a little bit."

Unlike his brother who was very concerned about his reputation, he admitted generously: "I want to eat fish, shrimp, crabs, too."

Seeing that the two children were very hungry, He Dongchuan said, "I'll buy some lobsters and crabs in a few days."

He Yan's eyes lit up when he said he only had a little thought: "Really?"

He Dongchuan did not answer, but asked an irrelevant question: "Are you going to take the midterm exam?"

"Mid-next month."

"Then let's do it in the middle of the month. If you can rank in the top three in your grade, you'll have something to eat."

“What if I don’t pass the exam?”

"Then no."

He Yan said "Ah?" and his head drooped.

Su Ting found it funny and asked, "Wasn't your goal to be in the top three in your grade? Why are you sad now that your father has set up a reward?"

"Mom, you don't understand." He Yan shook his head.

Although his goal was to be in the top three in his grade, he set the goal mainly for his own reputation. If he succeeded, he could be proud, but if he failed, there would be no loss.

But now the situation is different. If you pass the exam, you can eat seafood. If you fail, the seafood will be gone!

After listening to his explanation, Su Ting suddenly realized: "It turns out that you don't have the confidence to be in the top three, then there is no way..."

Before Su Ting finished her words, He Yan was stimulated. He slammed the table and said, "I must be in the top three in my grade! Starting today, I will read an extra hour every day. Don't stop me!"

Children need to make progress, and parents must not hold them back. Su Ting and He Dongchuan agreed and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely not stop you."

Man Man also cheered up his brother: "Come on, brother!"

Encouraged by his family, He Yan, who had finished his homework before dinner, did not go out to play, but took out his textbook and started reading. For the seafood, he tried his best!

While He Yan was absorbed in reading, Su Ting was asking He Dongchuan about seafood: "The market seems to have very few lobsters and crabs, and with the few tickets we have, we probably can't buy a few kilograms of lobsters and crabs."

A pound of crabs and half a pound of shells. When she lived on Pingchuan Island, Su Ting didn't care about this, but now she feels pain when she thinks of the pitiful seafood supply.

He Dongchuan said: "I was talking about lobsters and crabs, but I didn't tell them to buy shrimps and crabs."

Su Ting thought quickly and asked, "Are you going to buy river shrimps and river crabs? It's November now, so they're out of season, right?"

"It's over the season, but you can still buy it. The meat just isn't that fatty. Let's eat it together and let them satisfy their hunger first. Let's look forward to next summer."

He Dongchuan said that he wanted to let them satisfy their hunger, but in fact he was just trying to whet their appetite.

Sea shrimps and crabs are delicious, but river shrimps and river crabs are also delicious, otherwise crayfish and crabs would not have been so popular in later generations. The brother and sister have never eaten them, so it is too easy to whet their appetite.

Although what He Dongchuan did was a bit like fooling people, under the current conditions, this was the only way to fool them.

By the time the crabs are eaten next autumn, the reform and opening up will be almost here, and life will get better and better, and they will no longer have to worry about food and drink.

Thinking of this, Su Ting nodded: "Okay."

…

This era is not like the future, where people can live next door to each other for several years without recognizing each other. Yes, I am talking about Su Ting’s previous life.

Although her personality has not changed much, she is now a warm-hearted person. Within two days of moving into her new home, Su Ting became familiar with all the residents in Building 10.

Meng Xiuzhen, who was the first to get acquainted, had the most enthusiastic personality. She had known Su Ting long before they officially moved in, and after they moved in, the two of them interacted the most.

The second person she got to know was Xu Min, who lived in 101. She had a similar personality to Meng Xiuzhen, and since they lived next door to each other, they had always had a good relationship. Su Ting interacted a lot with Meng Xiuzhen, so naturally she also interacted with her frequently.

Then there was Ho Tsui-ha on the third floor. Her son Sun Lin was in the same class as He Yan. The two children went to and from school together every day and soon became good friends. The children had a good relationship and lived in the same building, so they naturally became familiar with each other quickly as parents.

As for Zhao Meihong from Unit 302, because she worked in the Women's Federation, her style of doing things was quite drastic and her personality was straightforward, so the two of them got to know each other quickly.

So after a while, the person Su Ting was least familiar with in the building was still Shen Xuan who lived across the street.

In fact, the two had met and chatted several times, but neither of them was an outgoing person, so after the chat, their relationship remained that of neighbors next door and did not go any further.

However, Su Ting is already very satisfied. She doesn't have high requirements for her neighbors, as long as they don't make trouble.

Although Shen Xuan is slow to warm up, he is a nice person. The two families live next door to each other and have never had any conflicts. Even if their relationship is not close, at least they can say hello and exchange a few words when they meet each other when they go out. That's enough.

As she got to know her building neighbors, Su Ting's life gradually got on track, and she finally found time to draw comic strips.

This is the second book in the Three Fires series. Originally, the publishing house hoped that Su Ting could start serializing it before the summer vacation, but Su Ting would have a lot of things to do at that time.

First, He Dongchuan was busy training for a competition, and Su Ting was left alone to take care of the two children. When he came back from the competition, he told her about his job transfer, which was related to his life and death. While waiting for the result, Su Ting appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very anxious inside and had no mood to paint at all.

After the transfer was finalized, another major incident occurred. The entire island was on alert, and people were in a panic, fearing that a real fight would break out.

Although Su Ting knew that there would not be a war, she was not sure whether there would be a small-scale conflict and whether there would be casualties during the conflict. After all, she had not learned this when she was in school.

So during that time, she was also worried, afraid that He Dongchuan would die early, and also afraid that in the original book he was injured and did not recover until next year before dying.

Because she felt uneasy, Su Ting didn't draw many comics during that period, and she didn't read many pages of books.

After everything was settled, they also had to move. Su Ting was so busy that she couldn't concentrate on painting and could only focus on reviewing.

Now that her life is back on track, Su Ting wants to finish this story as soon as possible.

After drawing this story, she does not plan to draw a new story in the next year. Next year, she will devote herself to reviewing and strive for a good start in the college entrance examination.

…

After a lot of hard work, Su Ting finally completed the second story in the Three Fires series in mid-November, and took the time to go to the county to mail the manuscript.

As the manuscripts were sent out, the military district primary school also welcomed its midterm exams.

The exams are scheduled for Friday, with a total of two subjects, Chinese and Mathematics, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The results will be released on Monday.

He Yan worked hard for half a month for the seafood feast, but after the exam, he was paralyzed and too lazy to move. He was so lazy that he stayed lazy until Sunday. After getting up, he still didn't want to read, but just wanted to go out and play.

He worked hard for half a month, and Su Ting didn't stop him from going out. She just asked him to take care of himself, not to get bumped, and not to quarrel or fight with others.

He Yan, who was originally lying on the dining table with a sullen look on his face, suddenly became lively after hearing that his mother agreed to let him go out to play. He patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely not quarrel with others. Then, Mom, I'm going out now."

Su Ting said, "Well, remember to come back for lunch at noon. We won't wait for you if you're late."

"Understood!" He Yan answered loudly and ran away in a flash.

After a day of crazy play, He Yan started to rush to do his homework after dinner. Although he had just finished the exam, the teacher did not go easy on him and assigned a lot of homework, which had to be handed in on Monday morning. Those who did not do it would be punished by standing.

He Yan didn't want to be punished, so he had to hurry up and finish his homework.

The furniture had not been put in place yet, so He Yan could only sit at the dining table to do his homework, and everyone else in the house could see him when they came in and out.

He Dongchuan came out of the shower and saw that he hadn't finished his homework yet, so he walked over and asked, "How much homework do you have left?"

"There are still two pages of words." He Yan raised his head, his tone pitiful.

However, He Dongchuansi had no sympathy for him: "Seeing you having so much fun during the day, I thought you didn't have any homework."

He Yan knew he was in the wrong, and said with his head down: "I just forgot."

"You even forgot your homework. It seems your memory is not very good. But it's okay. It's only 9:30 now. There are still two and a half hours left today, enough time for you to catch up on your homework." He Dongchuan patted He Yan on the shoulder, "Come on."

After saying these words, He Dongchuan returned to the room, leaving He Yan alone sitting in the orange light, enduring the cold and continuing to work.

As soon as He Dongchuan entered the room, Su Ting, who was lying on the bed reading, raised her head and asked, "Has Xiaoyan finished his homework?"

"There are two more pages."

"He's still writing in the living room?" Su Ting took out the watch from under the pillow. "It's almost ten o'clock."

He Dongchuan lay down on the bed and said, "Let him go. He is so arrogant even before his results are out. He needs to be taught a lesson."

"He was really holding it in."

He Yan usually looks cheerful, but he is actually very resilient. For example, when he dropped out of school to work, he wanted to back out on the first day at the seafood supply station, but in the end he did not say the words of giving up.

This time he set a goal of being in the top three in his grade. He said he would increase his study time by one hour every day, but in reality he hardly went out to play in the first half of a month.

He Yan is not the kind of introverted kid who doesn't like to go out. He loves to play. Every day when he is studying, he hears the laughter of his peers coming from downstairs, and he is envious. He only perseveres for the sake of his goal. Now that the exam is over, he is relaxed physically and mentally, and he will play like crazy once he goes out.

However, He Dongchuan told him to go, and Su Ting also supported him, saying that he could have fun but still had to finish his homework.

Moreover, children are very good at pushing their limits. When their parents are strict, they will be more obedient. But when they find that their parents are not so strict, they will gradually test the bottom line.

If they let He Yan go back to sleep out of sympathy this time, next time he plays too much and forgets to do his homework, he might think it’s no big deal. This will happen again and again, and he might eventually stop doing his homework.

He Yan is in primary school now, and the teachers are strict, so the situation may be better. But when he goes to junior high and high school, the teachers will not care so much. Moreover, as the child grows up, his fear of teachers will gradually decrease, and he will begin to learn to take shortcuts and may go from doing homework to cheating homework at any time.

When Su Ting was in school in her previous life, there was a group of students in her class who, the first thing they did when they arrived at school every day, was to borrow homework books from everywhere and copy and hand in the homework they had not done the previous night.

But the copied homework is not your own after all. The homework may seem fine when you hand it in, but its true color will be revealed when the exam comes. In the end, it is only your future that is ruined.

Although Su Ting believes that He Yan will not become like that, no one can predict what will happen in the future. If she doesn't let him develop good habits now, it will be difficult to correct them when he grows up.

Su Ting hesitated: "Should we give him some more clothes, to prevent him from catching a cold?"

He Dongchuan was relieved: "He is wearing a cotton padded jacket, what else can he wear? Don't worry, his health is not that bad."

"What kind of quilt is he wearing?"

"What's wrong with the black one?"

"He wasn't wearing this before. He probably felt cold, so he went back to his room to change his clothes." Su Ting said thoughtfully. The black cotton jacket was the thickest piece of clothing in He Yan's closet.

He Dongchuan said: "That's it. He is old and knows how to take care of himself."

Su Ting thought about it and decided so, so she started chatting with He Dongchuan about other things, such as the midterm exam results would be out tomorrow, if He Yan ranked in the top three, where should he go to buy river shrimps and crabs, and also how much furniture was finished, whether the paint had dried, and when they could move in.

He Dongchuan said: "There is a large group raising shrimps and crabs nearby. I can just ask someone to buy some for me and bring back a fish. That should be enough."

As for the furniture, it was already half finished, but because it had been painted, he wanted to leave it to air out for a while and bring the furniture back at the beginning of next month.

Su Ting was also willing to let the paint dry for a while, so she nodded and said, "That's fine."

After finishing her business, Su Ting picked up her watch and looked at it. Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock, she turned her head and asked, "Have you finished your homework, Xiaoyan?"

"It's about right." He Dongchuan estimated.

Su Ting asked: "Can you go out and take a look? If he is still outside, let him finish his homework and go back to bed."

He Dongchuan is in good health and his body always gets hot quickly when he lies down on the bed. Su Ting is afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter. If she sleeps alone, she can't get warm even in the middle of the night.

So in winter Su Ting liked to sleep in He Dongchuan's arms, and this situation became more serious after arriving in Shanghai.

Every morning as soon as He Dongchuan left the bed, Su Ting couldn't sleep, so after arriving in Shanghai, her lazy habit was effectively improved, although she didn't like this change very much.

Because she couldn't sleep warmly, Su Ting snuggled into He Dongchuan's arms as soon as he got into bed. When they were talking just now, their chests were almost touching each other's backs.

So after just a few words, He Dongchuan began to be distracted.

He was restrained when they were talking about serious matters, but now that they were done, he wanted to talk to Su Ting about something less serious. Therefore, He Dongchuan was reluctant to leave the bed and said, "He is so grown up, he knows to go back to his room after finishing his homework."

"It won't delay anything if you take a look." Seeing that he didn't want to move, Su Ting made a gesture to get up, "If you don't go, I will."

"I'll go, I'll go." He Dongchuan quickly held Su Ting down, threw off the quilt, got out of bed and walked out of the room. The lights were still on in the dining room. He walked over and asked, "Have you finished your homework yet?"

"The last row." He Yan said.

He Dongchuan sat at the dining table and said, "Write quickly."

He Yan had been doing his homework for a long time and was feeling bored. When he saw his father sitting down, he asked, "Dad, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I was going to sleep, but your mom asked me to come and see if you've finished your homework."

He Yan said, "Mom, you haven't slept yet?"

"Um."

"But haven't you been back to your room for a long time? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

He Dongchuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Aren't you rushing to finish your homework? Why are you so talkative?" He reached out and tapped He Yan's homework book, "Hurry up and write the last few words. Then go back to bed."

"knew."

He Yan closed his mouth, quickly wrote the last few words, closed his homework book and said, "I'm done!"

"After you finish writing, go back to your room and go to sleep."

He Yan said: "But I haven't washed my feet or face, and I haven't brushed my teeth."

He Dongchuan was in a hurry to go back to his room to sleep, and said, "Why are you still brushing your teeth and washing your face so late at night?"

"My mother said that if I don't brush my teeth I will get cavities. I'm a child, so I should be clean and hygienic!" He Yan said righteously. He is a very hygienic person.

He Dongchuan: "... then hurry up!"

"Uh-huh!"

He Yan walked briskly into the bathroom, and at his father's urging, he finished brushing his teeth, washing his face and feet in five minutes!

Because he didn't want to listen to his father's nagging anymore, after washing and returning to the room, He Yan quickly lifted the quilt and grabbed the blanket tightly without waiting for his father to speak.

He Dongchuan was very satisfied with his speed. After turning off the light, he said nothing, closed the door and went out.

As soon as he left, He Yan, who was lying on the bed in the dark, breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over!

It’s really annoying to have a dad who keeps nagging me!
