There was a bit of awkwardness between them; they weren't really familiar with each other, but now they're a couple.
Er Lengzi was, after all, a man, much better than Su Chen. After cleaning up, they realized a problem: they hadn't even decided on dinner yet.
"Let's go back and eat."
Su Chen had no objection, subconsciously believing that home was where his wife was.
Back at Fuzeyuan, the two washed up separately. Er Lengzi went to keep the children company, while Su Chen remained on duty at the front.
Why are you back?
Zhang Hongmei came out of the study and saw Su Chen.
"Come back for dinner."
"Oh, your cooking skills aren't good enough. You should go to the kitchen and learn!"
Su Chen shook his head. "I can cook. I'll practice more in the future."
"Then go and check what we've prepared for you. You only have a few days left, so see if there's anything missing and prepare it quickly."
Su Chen found Lu Jing and saw that the small storeroom was piled with many things. Lu Jing gave her a brief introduction.
"Take a box of pastries back with you later, and share the rest with everyone. It's too early to buy these; we'll prepare more before you leave."
"Jing-jie, thank you."
"Why thank me? As long as you're all doing well, that's enough."
"Do you know what your mission is when you get there?"
Su Chen nodded. "I will take good care of Liu Baoguo."
Lu Jing nodded. "Liu Aidang is Shi Tou, and he'll be going back to the border with us this time. You'll need to take special care of him too."
Su Chen nodded. "I will."
The children were very happy to eat pastries in the afternoon. After all, they are still children, and who doesn't like sweets?
Today, Cai Peilin is teaching them a foreign language. He speaks very seriously, but once they get used to him, the few mischievous boys aren't afraid of him anymore.
Now, whenever the four of them are with the children, they always communicate in a foreign language, which is very helpful for their learning. The children's interest is also growing stronger.
Zhang Shouyi still can't come back for dinner today. He has to stay with Zhou Shixiong. There's no other way. Since Zhang Shouyi refused to let him come out to see the children, he has to stay and have dinner with him.
At the dinner table, Gu Chuanming said, "Hongmei, from now on, bring the children back to the compound every Sunday."
"Hmm, that's fine too." Zhang Hongmei didn't care much about Zhou Shixiong. She would take the children back to visit the old lady's family every Saturday, but she never thought of visiting Zhou Shixiong.
After dinner, Er Lengzi and Su Chen left.
Zhang Hongmei sat in the study and said, "Lu Jing, I always feel that the two of you are a little too calm."
"Almost all couples start out like this, they are introduced to each other and don't have many opportunities to develop feelings for each other. It's all about developing feelings slowly after marriage."
Zhang Hongmei laughed, realizing she had been worrying too much.
After entering the bathroom (Zhang Shouyi wasn't there today), I secretly went into the spatial dimension.
It's been a long time since I've had this much leisure time online. I'm always so busy, and most importantly, Zhang Shouyi is always around, so I never have a chance to relax.
Remembering my favorite taro-flavored ice cream, I impulsively ate one at home. But it just didn't taste the same as before.
After leaving the space and returning to the bedroom, I fell asleep shortly afterward.
At this moment, Er Lengzi and Su Chen were lying side by side on the bed.
"Su Chen, you're my wife now."
"yes."
If Zhang Hongmei knew about their conversation, she would definitely burst out laughing.
Er Lengzi reached out and tentatively took his wife's hand, who was lying next to him. Su Chen did not refuse and gradually pulled his wife into his arms.
Recalling the bawdy jokes his comrades usually told, their passionate night began.
Er Lengzi, a thirty-year-old man, finally experienced the pleasures of women for the first time.
Er Lengzi was having a blast, as if he had discovered a new toy.
The next morning, Su Chen opened her sore eyes and felt the warmth behind her. A faint smile appeared on her face. She was married now, and someone else's woman.
Girls from normal families can't really understand this, but as orphans, starting with Wang Ying, they all desperately longed for a family and for people connected to them by blood.
Su Chen was no exception. These past few days had been her fertile window, and she hoped to have a child soon. Watching her child grow up before her eyes was a truly joyful thing.
I gently got out of bed and felt that my legs had no strength at all, so I quickly got dressed.
Er Lengzi stared blankly at his wife, who was getting dressed with her back to him, and grinned silently. So this is what it feels like to be married.
Seeing that Su Chen was almost finished dressing, she quickly closed her eyes and wiped the smile off her face. She did this so that Su Chen wouldn't feel embarrassed.
After washing up at home, the two of them decided to go to Fuzeyuan Restaurant for dinner.
After having breakfast, Er Lengzi, along with Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo, took the five children to the military academy.
Whenever the two elderly people have the opportunity, whether it's visiting a military academy or a company, they bring their four children along to cultivate their love for the place.
Actually, Zhang Hongmei is quite magnanimous; she simply handed the child over to the two elderly people.
After finishing his training, Stone had an indoor class this morning to learn telegraphic codes.
Just after class ended, several children rushed over and hugged his legs.
"Uncle, uncle."
"Oh dear, your uncle has been missing you all! Come on, I'll take you to play."
"Uncle, all you do is play. Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and your eldest uncle are all waiting for you over there." Zhenye glanced helplessly at his youngest uncle who was carrying his third and fourth brothers.
"Okay, let's go first, and your uncle will take you to play in a bit."
Shi Tou felt incredibly accomplished, leading a string of children as he walked through the school.
Many of Shi Tou's classmates who were close to him came over to watch the excitement. When they saw that Shi Tou was a child that the leader often brought along, they had all sorts of thoughts on their minds.
Stone walked to the office door and gave a loud report.
Several children were taken to the training ground by their coach. They all knew there was no point in staying there.
Stone entered the office and saw that there were already nine people inside, knowing that the list of people to be sent to the border was about to be announced.
When he came out of the office, he grinned, finally having the opportunity to put his ideas into practice.
He didn't go to find any of the smaller ones, but instead went back to his dorm to pack his luggage. The school gave him a three-day holiday, meaning he only needed to return to school the day before he was to leave.
Having lived here for almost a year, I feel very reluctant to leave.
This time I'm going out, and there's no set return date. I looked around this dormitory, feeling reluctant to leave. I'll miss my comrades who I'll live with here.
Pack all your personal belongings, then leave your luggage behind. You can simply pack and take it with you on the day you leave.
Because all the students in the dormitory were at the training ground, there was no sentimental farewell.
"Uncle, are you afraid my grandma will beat you up?" Zhang Weiyu asked playfully.
