Chapter 23



He asked her to go out.

Su Ruo put her hand on the table beside her, her heart was pounding, her hands and feet were still weak, and her head was a little dizzy.

But after he did this to her, he didn't even look at her and just let her go. Su Ruo suddenly felt uncomfortable and wronged.

Although she also vaguely knew the reason.

But how much rationality did she have at this time?

Maybe girls are always panicked and aggrieved at this time.

You always need to comfort the person who did something bad to you and calm his panic.

But he ignored her.

She wanted to say something to him, but when she thought about what he had just said, she felt confused and didn't know how to answer him. Or maybe he didn't need her answer at all.

Besides, after something like this, does she still need to coax him?

She stood there in a panic for a while, and he kept ignoring her. Finally, she felt so aggrieved that she was afraid she would not be able to hold back her tears, so she really closed the door and turned away.

But he didn't even try to coax her.

After she left, Han Zecheng turned around to look at her back, glanced at her, and then turned back stiffly. He withdrew his hand that was pressed on the edge of the sink so hard that the knuckles were bulging, poured another glass of water, and drank it all.

******

There are three rooms in the house, a master bedroom, Guoguo's room, and a study.

The furniture in the rooms has already been arranged, but there is no bed in the study.

The master bedroom also has only one large bed.

Su Ruo didn't think too much about this.

Because she has been sleeping in the same bed with Han Zecheng these days.

She felt a little awkward and wondered if she would have to sleep with him forever, but she never expected that before going to bed, he got a folding bed from somewhere and disassembled it and put it in their bedroom.

Su Ruo stood at the door and watched him fiddling with the folding bed, feeling a little unsure of what to say.

But the folding bed was very narrow and didn't look very long.

He is so tall and trains very hard every day. How can he get a good rest by sleeping on this kind of bed for a long time?

However, Su Ruo originally thought that there was nothing wrong with sleeping in the same bed, but he had already brought another bed over. She couldn't invite him to sleep with her, right?

What's more, what's more, because of the kiss in the kitchen before, she couldn't even say such words... It was as if because of that kiss, she had no confidence in whether anything would happen if they slept in the same bed.

It’s not that he didn’t believe her... In fact, she knew that as long as she firmly refused, he would definitely not do anything to her.

But can she refuse firmly?

So she actually didn't trust herself a little.

She just watched him make the bed.

Finally, he said, "This bed may not be big enough for you. I'll sleep in the small bed."

Han Zecheng looked up at her. In fact, he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her like that...especially after they kissed before.

He had never doubted his self-control before, but now it was really put to the test.

He said, "That's enough. I used to sleep like this when I was on a mission. Many times I even slept on the floor. It's nothing. You should study hard during this period and sleep on the big bed."

Su Ruo said no more.

She also knew that what he had decided on could not be changed by just a few words from her.

She quietly climbed into bed and went to sleep.

Then she watched him turn off the light, and then watched him lie down on the folding bed, but she couldn't sleep well.

Maybe it was because she was too busy and nervous in the past few days, and now that she has finally settled down, she feels clear-headed and relieved.

Or maybe it was because of the kiss in the kitchen that made her still recover from the emotion, and his question.

This brought up a question that she had been avoiding and unwilling to think about deeply before.

That is the problem of her and his future.

For her own future, she must take the college entrance examination.

But even if she gets into college, she will pursue the career she likes, but she cannot ignore the problems in life.

His current identity is her husband and the father of her children.

But she has no memories of those things.

In fact, she has been slowly recovering these past few days, but she still feels a little dazed. She always feels that she is not without memory of the past five years, but that she really has not experienced them.

She really jumped from 1972 to 1977.

So she occasionally had the feeling that during those past five years, his wife had not been her.

This made her feel a little confused when it came to their relationship.

And...he seemed to reject her, too.

Rejecting affection for her.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly push her away and let her go out?

Then I even brought a bed over...

As Su Ruo was thinking, she unconsciously changed direction.

And I feel wronged.

She couldn’t think about it anymore, she couldn’t think about it anymore. Su Ruo pulled the quilt to cover her head. Then two seconds later, she felt suffocated. She stuck her head out, hugged the quilt tightly, and fell asleep on her side.

She thought to herself, let’s talk about this later.

Take the college entrance exam first.

Alas, she had never been a fussy person before.

It must be because of the kiss earlier that made him so nervous.

She decided to stay away from him in the future.

I want to go to college.

******

The next day, Su Ruo took Guoguo to the military kindergarten.

Han Zecheng drove her there, but he still had to go to the army, so he said hello to the principal, gave Su Ru a few words of advice and left. After that, Su Ru took Han Guo to talk to the principal, and then they visited the kindergarten together.

The director is a very kind middle-aged lady, gentle and amiable. If it weren't for her straight posture with obvious military traits, Su Ruo would have felt that she didn't look like a soldier... In her heart, soldiers are serious, rigid but upright, full of justice and responsibility, but correspondingly, they also have less personal feelings, and sometimes appear a little cold and distant... In short, they are not so gentle and amiable.

But now that she has come into contact with more soldiers in the military district, she realized that her original thinking was truly prejudice.

Han Guo will not turn four in two months, so he will be directly enrolled in the junior class.

But Han Guo had never been to school before.

So his memory of going to school still remains at the commune primary school in his hometown, where dozens of students were crowded in a shabby classroom, sitting on long wooden benches for the entire day, reading and writing different textbooks every day.

And what was his life like before?

Except for the time when his mother was at home and he listened to her stories and played with toys, the rest of the time he would go up the mountain with other children to take bird eggs, destroy bird nests, set traps to catch rabbits, and go fishing... His mother was very worried at first, but gradually turned a blind eye.

So he still resists going to school.

How can we let him sit there all day?

But he also knew that his father was busy at work and his mother might have to go to school in the future and might only come home once a week.

When he got here he had to go to kindergarten like other children.

So Han Guo felt depressed when he arrived at school.

After exchanging greetings with Su Ruo, the director came to talk to Han Guo.

Principal: "Student Han Zhen, welcome to our Biyang Military Region Affiliated Kindergarten. Can you tell me what you like to play?"

Han Zhen is the name Han Guo took when he changed his registered residence.

Student Han Zhen: Does taking bird eggs, destroying bird nests, and catching rabbits count?

But his mother was standing next to him, looking at him cautiously, seemingly gentle.

He didn't dare say that.

So he could only answer honestly, "Assembling gun and car models."

This is also true.

But this thing becomes boring after a while.

The headmaster smiled and said, "It turns out that he is the son of Deputy Head Han. Well, the students in the small class are learning to assemble models today. Since Han Zhen is interested, let's go and take a look together."

Guoguo was stunned when he heard it.

Learning to assemble models?

Don’t we recite “one, two, three” and “oh, goose” every day?

Su Ruo knew what he was thinking, so she reached out to hold him, and said to the director with a smile: "Thank you, Director."

Guoguo was dragged by his mother and followed the head teacher to the classroom.

As soon as he stepped into the classroom, his eyes lit up when he saw the things on the table, on the floor and in the hands of other children.

The headmaster looked at him with amusement.

She had not ignored his reluctant and listless look.

She took a box of wooden tank building blocks from the teacher's desk and gave it to him, saying, "Try and see if you can assemble it according to the pattern."

Originally the head teacher just wanted to arouse Guoguo's interest in kindergarten, but she didn't expect that after giving Guoguo the building blocks, he would fiddle with them for a while and actually build an anti-aircraft gun tank according to the pattern.

She was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect classmate Han Zhen to be so skilled."

Su Ruo explained, "He has liked playing with these since he could just crawl. I drew a lot of picture books for him before, so he knows all of this. His father also gave him a lot of building blocks and models. He said he really liked them before, but the models and building blocks at home are always limited. He might find them boring after playing with them for too long."

The head teacher smiled and nodded, saying, "I see. I think he will like it here. No other kindergarten has as many toy models as we do."

There are real ones too.

After all, this is a military kindergarten, and many of the models are specially made and cannot be bought outside.

She continued, "Comrade Su, if Han Zhen likes this place and is willing to enroll, let him play here for an hour and then go back to class tomorrow."

Su Ruo looked at Han Guo and saw that he was already playing with a little boy. The two were building a model airplane.

That was Gu Yilin’s youngest son, Gu Yang.

Su Ruo smiled and said, "Thank you, Principal. I'll have to ask the principal and the teacher to take care of it. But this child is a bit naughty. If he does anything wrong, please let me know."

This is protecting one's shortcomings.

The head of the kindergarten thought this mother who looked like a little girl was very cute and said with a smile: "What we are least afraid of here is naughty children."

The various physical training games outside are enough to consume their energy.

Su Ruo was originally worried that Guoguo wouldn't like school or wouldn't be able to concentrate in the classroom for a long time, but it turned out that her worries were completely in vain.

This kindergarten is completely focused on play and physical fitness or body training, which is just what Guoguo's personality is like.

An hour later, Guo was still having a great time and was reluctant to leave. It was only after Su Ruo persuaded him that he left reluctantly.

The next day, there was no need for Su Ruo to mobilize him. He got out of bed early, changed his clothes, packed his schoolbag, and urged Su Ruo to go out...

******

The days that followed were dull and busy.

Han Zecheng went to the army every day.

Guoguo goes to kindergarten every day. He has quickly made a group of new friends in the kindergarten, and his life is many times more colorful than Su Ruo's... These days, Su Ruo discovered that although her son is only four years old, perhaps because children in her hometown are raised in a free-range manner, this child is very independent, has amazing self-care ability, and has a lot of ideas. She is often confused by him.

Su Ruo could only sigh that she was quite good at giving birth to a son...

At first, she was a little worried whether she would feel uncomfortable or awkward living with Han Zecheng.

But in fact, Han Zecheng lives a disciplined and strict life. Although he is very busy, he is really not difficult to get along with. He is also a good father and life partner.

He is very capable in living. After Su Ruo moved here, apart from studying, she also picked up Guoguo from kindergarten every day and thought about food in her free time. She didn't have to worry about anything, and she basically didn't have to do any housework. Han Zecheng handled everything properly.

As for the relationship between the two...

It's just a normal relationship of living together.

Apart from the kiss on the first day when he moved in, he never did anything inappropriate towards her afterwards, and even his expression didn't show anything unusual.

Plus, he was actually very busy, so even though the two of them lived together, they didn't spend much time together.

Sometimes when Su Ruo saw his cold look, she would wonder if she had been thinking too much and being a little self-indulgent.

Maybe he doesn't like me as much as I thought before.

It's just that he is a soldier, and soldiers all have a high sense of responsibility. And she happens to be his wife, and his care and kindness to her are just the care and kindness a husband shows to his wife.

As for the kiss that day that made her blush and her heart beat fast whenever she thought about it, it was probably just because he was drunk and acted on impulse.

Just like her sister-in-law said, he is a man after all, and he has been in the army without a woman for a long time...

It's over, what is going on in her mind!
