Qin Jinshen was startled, but he remained calm on the surface and said with a simple smile, "Oh dear, you found out. I sold my house in the countryside to buy this pen as a betrothal gift for you. Now that we can't get married, I still want to give you this pen!"
"Give it to me?"
Ling Huanwu's eyes widened. Holding the pen like a hot potato, she quickly shoved it back into his hand. "It's so valuable, you should keep it for your wife. I don't want it!"
"If you don't want it, and I don't want it either, then you can throw it away!"
The two pushed and shoved each other several times without reaching a conclusion.
Ling Huanwu was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Just then, Zhou Jiuzhen went to the military base early in the morning and obtained the marriage approval report from his superiors. He then went to the island township government to get his marriage certificate.
When he excitedly returned home with his marriage certificate, he saw Ling Huanwu and her childhood sweetheart arguing in the field, their faces dark with anger.
When Lin Xiaoqin saw Zhou Jiuzhen coming over, she quickly made a "humph" sound, and Ling Huanwu then realized what was happening.
"Nine shocks!"
Ling Huanwu's eyes lit up, and she rushed to him as if she had seen a savior. "Why are you back so soon today?"
Zhou Jiuzhen rubbed the marriage certificate in his arms through the fabric without taking it out, staring at Qin Jinshen with an unfriendly look, "I came back to give you a surprise."
"What's the surprise?"
You'll find out when you get back.
Zhou Jiuzhen raised an eyebrow at Qin Jinshen, snatched the hoe from his hand, and said provocatively, "But now, I'll help you weed, my wife."
"Wife, watch me!"
Ling Huanwu and Lin Xiaoqin retreated to a corner, watching without blinking as Zhou Jiuzhen rolled up his sleeves to reveal his strong forearms, then unbuttoned the top button of his shirt to reveal his broad collarbones. His movements, fluid and graceful like those of someone about to fight, were terrifying to watch.
He swung his hoe and cleared the weeds in the blink of an eye, without even breaking a sweat.
Qin Jin looked so ashen that his face turned ashen.
I never expected this man to be such a good fighter, and also such a skilled farmer.
When Ling Huanwu was about to burn grass, Qin Jinshen took off his clothes, revealing his equally bronze chest and abdominal muscles, and hurriedly went to her to help start the fire.
The fire raged for half a day, but a sea breeze blew it out.
Zhou Jiuzhen curled his lips, took off his military green shirt, revealing a chest and eight-pack that were both a size and color larger than Qin Jin's. His strong arms gathered all the grass in a few quick movements like iron clamps, and with a breath, he blew on the flames, making the fire sizzle.
Next, Ling Huanwu will prepare the soil and apply fertilizer.
Although Qin Jinshen was a businessman, he was also a college graduate who had returned from studying abroad. As soon as he saw the fertilizer that Ling Huanwu had prepared on the ground, he understood what Ling Huanwu wanted to do.
Before Ling Huanwu could give any instructions, he picked up the sulfur powder and poured it into the soil.
Half of it collapsed, and when the wind blew, all the yellow particles were blown onto his body and face.
Ling Huanwu stared at the fertilizer on his body with a pained expression, urging him to wash it off quickly.
Zhou Jiuzhen stood beside Ling Huanwu, glanced coolly at Qin Jinshen, snatched the fertilizer bags from his hand, and kicked the two bags of fertilizer directly into the field.
There's no need to open the bag or hold it while fertilizing; the bag just bursts open.
Zhou Jiuzhen took the hoe, spread it out, and quickly and evenly applied the fertilizer.
The scene of taut muscles, profuse sweating, and an explosion of male hormones.
Ling Huanwu and Lin Xiaoqin, who were watching from the side, were very excited and clapped and cheered.
Qin Jin was furious.
He sat on a rock to the side, panting heavily with anger.
Ling Huanwu couldn't bear to let Zhou Jiuzhen do all the work, so she quickly grabbed a carrying pole and buckets and went to the irrigation ditch to fetch water.
Seeing that there was work to be done, Qin Jinshen quickly grabbed the bucket and carrying pole, his eyes showing no fear of farm work, but only a strong desire to perform.
As he picked up the water, he thought it was incredibly easy and even gave Zhou Jiuzhen a provocative look.
But after taking only two steps, half of the water in the bucket had spilled.
After taking two more steps, he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhou Jiuzhen was quick-witted and caught the bucket and carrying pole, steadily pouring the water into the field.
Two barrels, four barrels, eight barrels...
Zhou Jiuzhen moved with incredible speed, carrying the heavy buckets as lightly as if they were two feathers, and soon irrigated the fields behind the house into paddy fields.
Qin Jinshen, who had fallen to the ground, stared at Zhou Jiuzhen with bloodshot eyes, his chest heaving violently.
Is it so great to be able to do farm work?
You should know that his hands can play the piano, and his brain can speak six languages.
But now...
He closed his eyes, and finally the captain of the guard called him home for dinner, which gave him an excuse to leave in a hurry.
As Zhou Jiuzhen watched the two slink away in disgrace, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, making him even happier than when he had won a battle before.
It was late at night.
Ling Huanwu was so tired after a long day that she could barely stand up straight.
Although Zhou Jiuzhen did all the work, she was still exhausted from running around everywhere.
In the morning, she uses various acidic fertilizers to neutralize the soil, and then irrigates it with relatively low-salt canal water, hoping to further neutralize and dilute the alkalinity of the soil on the island, making it suitable for crop growth.
In the afternoon, she went to the breeding farm to check on Qiao Hui's progress in raising clam seedlings.
Running back and forth between the sea and the seaside, busy as a spinning top.
As soon as she got home, she rushed to take a shower.
While she was taking a shower, Zhou Jiuzhen secretly put the marriage certificate in the drawer of the wooden table, wondering what her expression would be when she saw it.
Ling Huanwu sat absentmindedly in front of the mirror, opened a drawer, took out face cream and applied it to her face, pondering how to distribute the supplies in her spatial storage to the villagers in need without arousing suspicion.
Today at the farm, I overheard the women comparing whose child hadn't eaten meat for the longest time.
As a result, one of the aunties said that her little Ah Ming hadn't eaten meat in eight years, which shut the other aunties up.
Because that aunt's child is only eight years old.
That means that the child has never eaten meat in all his life.
Lost in thought, she didn't notice the man beside her waiting expectantly for her to discover a surprise.
Zhou Jiuzhen watched as Ling Huanwu closed the drawer again, without even glancing at the marriage certificate inside. His heart sank, and the fleeting thoughts he had while she was showering were completely extinguished.
He didn't say anything more, turned over into bed, faced the wall, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
Ling Huanwu racked her brains but still couldn't come up with a good idea.
She breathed a sigh of relief and decided to give it a long-term consideration.
Last night, she and Zhou Jiuzhen, having been apart for a short time, were like newlyweds, and should have been deeply in love.
As a result, she got sleepy and messed it up.
Although her space was already quite large and there was still plenty of room left, she no longer needed to coax him into bed in a sweet and coquettish way.
But after a month apart, she did miss him a little.
Ling Huanwu got up from the chair, looked at Zhou Jiuzhen who was lying on the bed with his back to her, was stunned for a moment, then secretly smiled, and then lay down on her side next to him, scratching the ticklish spot on his waist with her finger.
To her surprise, the man's reaction the next second gave her a huge fright.
