Gu An'an rolled her eyes. Actually, when this guy secretly closed the door, he had already guessed what the other person was thinking. However, considering that the other person had indeed been celibate for a long time, he didn't stop him.
"Keep your voice down, or you'll wake those two little devils up and you'll have to soothe them yourself."
Seeing that his wife agreed, Xiao Yuheng picked her up with both hands and carefully put her down, thus changing their positions.
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful, but you have to be careful too, don't shout too loudly."
Seeing the other person's improper appearance, Gu An'an pinched the other person's waist with her hand, "I definitely won't make a sound."
Those watery eyes, that haughty demeanor—the sight softened Xiao Yuheng's heart, and his head gradually lowered...
(Imagine 2000 words yourself, hahaha)
Once everything had settled down, Gu An'an was panting heavily. Although Xiao Yuheng was gentler than usual today, his stamina was too good, and she was still exhausted. She didn't even want to move a finger.
After kissing Gu An'an's wet forehead, Xiao Yuheng quietly got up, carried a basin of water into the house, and carefully washed Gu An'an clean before carrying the basin of water out again.
As he walked along, lost in thought, a voice rang out from the darkness, "Dad, I'm thirsty. Can I have a sip of the water you have?"
Xiao Erbao was half asleep, his eyes half open. He only knew that his father was holding a container, but he didn't notice the size of the container. He ran over and wanted to drink.
Xiao Yuheng was speechless and quickly raised the basin higher. "Erbao, this isn't water for drinking. Wait for Daddy, Daddy will pour you some water."
"No, Dad, you just drank it all, why won't you give me any?"
Xiao Yuheng was completely bewildered. He? Drinking his wife's bathwater?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. He almost kicked a stool, and in his haste, he lifted the basin in his hand. He was probably misunderstood by this kid.
Before he could figure out how to explain, Erbao had already grabbed his leg, and Xiao Dabao, who had come out of the house rubbing his eyes after hearing the noise, followed.
"Erbao, what are you doing?"
Xiao Erbao said with a wronged tone, "Sister, Dad won't give me any water."
Xiao Dabao looked up and then said something that saved Xiao Yuheng, "Erbao, what Dad is holding is Mom's bathtub, not a drinking cup..."
She suddenly stopped speaking, then raised her voice and said, "Dad, you're bullying Mom again!"
Xiao Dabao remembered how many times his father had bullied his mother until she cried and then gotten up in the middle of the night to fetch water; he was sure today would be the same.
Looking back at the room, she saw she had come out of her grandmother's room, her anger blazing outwards. "Bad dad!"
After shouting that, he took off running towards Gu An'an's room. Xiao Yuheng thought that he hadn't had time to dress his wife, so he put the bathtub aside and took a few steps forward to stop the two children.
"Mom is asleep, you two don't disturb her."
"Bad dad, you're blocking us from seeing Mom because you don't want us to find out that you're bullying her. Move aside and let us see Mom right now, or I'll go to Grandpa Zhao and Grandpa Fang to complain and have them punish you."
Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Fang often joked with them, telling them to come to them if they needed anything, especially when their father bullied them.
The adults were joking, but the children took it to heart.
The room door was made of wood and wasn't a specially made soundproof door. Even though Gu An'an had just fallen asleep, she was woken up by the noise. Seeing that her precious daughter was going to tell the regimental commander and political commissar about this little matter between husband and wife, she had no desire to continue lying down.
While Xiao Yuheng was talking to the two children, she reached for her clothes and put them on. Then she opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
Upon seeing their mother, the siblings pushed Xiao Yuheng away and rushed to Gu An'an, asking, "Mom, did Dad hit you?"
Gu An'an squatted down in front of the two and said gently, "No."
"real?"
Gu An'an looked at the two of them with utmost sincerity, but Xiao Dabao still didn't believe her easily. Instead, he looked her over from left to right until he found that his mother had no wounds on her body, at which point he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, Mom. Don't worry. If Dad bullies you, just shout for us. No matter where we are, we'll come to protect you."
"Yes, the second child must protect his older sister, his mother, and his grandparents."
Xiao Yuheng: ...Hey! There's no father of his.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xiao's mother came out of the room, fed the two children water, took them to the toilet, and then took the two little ones back to their room to sleep.
She certainly hadn't just woken up, but the two children didn't understand. Didn't she, as someone who had been through it all, understand? She came out early, and her daughter-in-law would inevitably feel embarrassed.
"Alright, you've had a long day. Go back to sleep. The two kids will stay with me tonight."
Although what she said was perfectly normal, Gu An'an still blushed and pinched Xiao Yuheng's waist as soon as she got back to her room.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Honey, be gentle!"
Xiao Yuheng spoke these words in a low voice so that his son and daughter wouldn't hear them.
"Look at you, acting like a fool!"
"It was my fault, honey, please don't be angry."
Xiao Yuheng dared not anger Gu An'an, otherwise it would be difficult to get any benefits next time.
Gu An'an was exhausted and sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep after saying only a few words. Xiao Yuheng, however, was not sleepy at all. He propped his head up and looked at Gu An'an's sleeping face by the moonlight, his chest full of emotion.
"An'an, can you check if our first batch of soap meets the standards?"
Early in the morning, the two sisters-in-law came to the door with freshly made scented soap and regular soap.
"The appearance is acceptable, but how effective is its cleaning power?"
The two nodded in unison, "We followed the proportions you mentioned exactly. We tested it when it first came out, and the cleaning power is much better than what the supply and marketing cooperatives use."
The two were genuinely excited. Before, they were always preoccupied with housework, children, and men. It wasn't that they weren't happy, but it wasn't as meaningful as it is now.
Putting everything else aside, ever since they started taking care of this, even those people in the family who only know how to wait to be fed have started doing housework and cooking simple meals.
That's progress!
Has the packaging arrived yet?
The two nodded again. "We've arrived. They're packing it now. Once it's done, it can be shipped out."
That's what I say, but we haven't received any orders yet, so it would be a lie to say I'm not worried.
“Okay, I’ve contacted a few supply and marketing cooperatives that I’ve worked with before. They’re willing to take a batch to try it out, but not much. Each one has ordered 1,000 yuan worth, half of which is bar soap and half is bar soap. Three companies have placed orders.”
Upon hearing that Gu An'an had secured so many orders for the workshop, the two couldn't hide their joy. "Wow! We already have orders? Old Zhang, pinch me, see if I'm dreaming?"
