All four of them felt exhausted, except for Zeng Zhongkang, who was slightly better off, but he couldn't bother them. Looking at their clasped hands, he felt a pang of bitterness. He knew how much Zhang Hongmei hated being touched, even a polite handshake. Yet here she was, her hand tightly held, her face radiating a shyness he had never seen before.
Give up. They're mutually in love. What are you to them?
Because Zhang Shouyi came in person, everyone here is a bit nervous. This is no joke; we must ensure the safety of our leader.
Of course, the food has also improved a lot. Zhang Shouyi didn't ask them to prepare anything, and Xiao Li went out and bought a pig, some seafood, grain, and the like.
Upon arriving at the camp, Zhang Shouyi nodded to them and then pulled Zhang Hongmei directly into the room.
Zhang Hongmei was a little reluctant. With so many people, this was really inappropriate.
But before she could object, Zhang Shouyi swept her up in his arms. A deluge of kisses overwhelmed Zhang Hongmei.
All dissatisfaction vanished; now they were simply passively letting Zhang Shouyi's enthusiasm take its course.
She only started struggling when she felt difficulty breathing.
Zhang Shouyi had finally tasted the pleasure, so how could he easily let go? But he felt his wife's struggles growing stronger, so he had no choice but to release her. However, he still held her tightly, refusing to let go.
"Let me go, I can't breathe."
"I won't let go. I'll never let go again. Do you know how I've endured these past three years?"
After Zhang Shouyi finished speaking, he picked up Zhang Hongmei and sat her on the bed. He held her like a baby and gently rocked her.
Zhang Hongmei finally caught her breath. She glared fiercely at Zhang Shouyi.
But in Zhang Shouyi's eyes, it was just his wife being affectionate with him, and he couldn't stand it, so he lowered his head again.
Afterwards, Zhang Hongmei punched Zhang Shouyi several times, saying, "You came back and dragged me into the house. What will others think?"
"We're a legitimate married couple, what's there to be afraid of?"
"How can you be so shameless? You better behave yourself, do you hear me?"
"Okay, okay, I know. Honey, haven't I been honest enough?"
Zhang Hongmei blushed at the amused expression on his face. What a shameless guy.
"Honey, let's go out to eat. Try some communal cooking; you haven't had it in ages, have you?"
"Hmm. Go ahead and try it."
Actually, Zhang Hongmei wasn't hungry at all, but she really didn't want to stay in the house with Zhang Shouyi. This guy was touching her inappropriately as soon as they met, showing no signs of awkwardness whatsoever.
She was genuinely afraid of him; she wasn't even eighteen yet, which was why she didn't want to get married so early.
But Zhang Hongmei overlooked the fact that they were actually married long ago, just not in a common-law marriage.
Who is Zhang Shouyi? How could he not guess Zhang Hongmei's thoughts? There's no rush now. A few more days won't make a difference.
They came out at just the right time. Actually, Xiao Li had been there for a few minutes, but he didn't have the courage to knock on the door. Thinking of his boss's expressionless face, he really couldn't blame himself for being too cowardly.
Zhang Shouyi glanced at Xiao Li at the door.
"Sir, let's go have dinner. General Yang is waiting for you two." After saying that, Xiao Li led the way.
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at Zhang Shouyi. It was all his fault; now look what happened, everyone was waiting. This was so embarrassing.
Zhang Shouyi pulled Zhang Hongmei along behind Xiao Li.
"Honey, we'll take a boat tomorrow and disembark directly at the port of Q City. It's much faster now; we'll arrive in Q City in three days."
Grandpa and Dad are waiting for you in Q City. They originally wanted to come with you, but I persuaded them not to. "What a joke! If they came with you, how could I be intimate with my wife?"
Zhang Hongmei was unaware of Zhang Shouyi's feelings. Thinking of the two elderly people, she was a little worried: "How are Grandpa and Dad's health?"
"Grandpa goes without saying. With Sun Guoshou taking his pulse, he'll live another twenty years without any problem."
"Dad has been taking care of his health since he came back, so you don't need to worry."
"Brother Zhang, how is the old lady's health?"
“The person who visited the old lady last month said that she is in good health and you don’t need to worry. Liu Maocai and his family in the village are also doing well. Er Ya and Zhu Zi are at Capital Agricultural University, and Shi Tou and his brother are already in their first year of high school. Everything is fine.”
Zhang Hongmei knew that Er Ya and Zhu Zi were at the Capital Agricultural University, and calculating the time, Shi Tou and San Ya were already in high school. Time really flies.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone's eyes were on them, and Zhang Hongmei felt a little uncomfortable.
General Yang came over and invited them to Zeng Zhongkang's table.
Even if Cheng Guangxu were heartless, he wouldn't say anything in this setting. All three of them stood up and greeted Zhang Shouyi.
"Everyone, please sit down and let the soldiers eat first. Don't wait for us."
"You all sit down too. Don't be shy, everyone."
Today's meal was something the four of them, who had returned home, truly missed. Zeng Zhongkang, in particular, had spent several years in the military and was suddenly gone; he really missed it now.
The four of us had already eaten in the afternoon, but eating with so many people still felt incredibly delicious.
Zhang Shouyi kept helping Zhang Hongmei pick up food.
"I can't eat that much, you eat it yourself."
These are just ordinary words, but they have a completely different meaning to acquaintances.
Zeng Zhongkang and Cai Peilin both noticed the coquettishness in Zhang Hongmei's tone.
Zhang Shouyi was even more so; Zhang Hongmei's refusal did not stop him from taking action.
"You eat it, but if you can't finish it, save some for me."
"No. I'll get whatever I want to eat myself."
"How can I let my wife suffer? You just wait for me to serve you."
Zhang Hongmei knew she couldn't persuade Zhang Shouyi, so she simply stopped arguing. Let him do whatever he wants!
The taste they had been longing for was ruined by the couple's public display of affection, which made Zeng Zhongkang and Cai Peilin lose their appetite.
Cheng Guangxu remained unaffected. He ate happily and kept urging the other two to eat as well.
Zhang Shouyi was very dissatisfied with the two men who coveted his wife, but he didn't show it.
Seeing that their wives didn't treat them any differently, they naturally didn't care.
General Yang also attached great importance to the leader's personal visit. No matter how strong or capable a man is, he is still just an ordinary person in front of his wife.
Looking at how clingy the leader was, I really couldn't connect him with the person I met at the last meeting; they were completely different people.
"You two should try this braised pork. It's so much better than the ones over there, it melts in your mouth. This is the real taste of braised pork. The chef here is truly skilled!" Cheng Guangxu hurriedly called to the other two.
