Han Zhenyu and Su Xieqiu felt a little embarrassed after they returned to the house.
This room is very small. Apart from the kang, there is only an aisle and no windows.
It's already evening, and it's pitch dark when the door is closed.
Han Zhenyu was tall to begin with, and the faint light that came in through the crack in the door was blocked by him.
The two of them stood there, and the whole room seemed very crowded.
Su Xieqiu secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, but because the room was too dark, she could only vaguely see his straight nose.
At this time, Han Zhenyu was also looking at her quietly.
He had no interest in this woman before, and sometimes even found her being so timid and annoying.
But just now I heard her calling me "my man" all the time, and she didn't seem to find it annoying.
The two men and women who had never been in love before stood there like idiots, thinking about all sorts of things, and didn't even think of lighting the oil lamp.
It was Su Xieqiu who came to his senses first. When he heard that there was no sound outside, he went to the cabinet to find a match to light a lamp.
With a crackling sound, the kerosene lamp lit up with a faint light.
Han Zhenyu couldn't help but look over. The dim light swept across Su Xieqiu's face, making her features look very soft. Even this low and boring adobe house seemed unusually warm.
Su Xieqiu noticed his gaze and gently turned her head, and their eyes met.
After looking at each other for a moment, the two immediately looked away. They both felt that the atmosphere had subtly changed.
Han Zhenyu pretended to be calm and opened the cabinet. Without even saying hello, he hurried out of the house with his spare clothes.
He was planning to take a shower in the backyard when he saw Han Zhenhua coming out of the kitchen with a bucket of water, probably going to take a shower as well.
So he turned around and walked out of the house, and only when he reached the river at the foot of the mountain did he breathe a sigh of relief.
It was now dark, so he took off his clothes and dived into the river, waiting until he could no longer hold his breath before coming out of the water.
Han Zhenyu is very upset now. He has known for a long time that the woman has someone in her heart and has never thought about becoming a real couple with her.
But why was I staring at someone like a ghost just now? It was so embarrassing.
I don't know if that woman noticed it or if she would think too much about it.
It seems that I can't stay in this house any longer. It's always inconvenient for a man and a woman to live in the same house.
Han Zhenyu plans to ask the team leader for leave in two days.
This time he was going to the south by car, and the round trip would take at least 20 days. When he came back, he would find a way to get the woman back to the city.
But what he didn't know was that Su Xieqiu didn't want to go back at all.
Even if she found connections and went back to the city, she would just work in a factory. Most factories now work in three shifts, and she really didn't want to stay up late to do that kind of work day after day.
If there was no compensation from the King of Hell, and she had to choose between farming and being a worker, she would definitely choose to go back to the city to work.
But now it’s different. She has so much food in her house, and with a few days of work occasionally, it’s enough for her to live comfortably.
Now she just wants to live a few years of peaceful life in the countryside, review her lessons well, and go to college when the college entrance examination is resumed.
At this time, Su Xieqiu didn't know Han Zhenyu's plan. She was staring at the kerosene lamp in a daze.
Thinking back to the look the two of them had just given each other, she found it quite funny.
But in the original owner's memory, Han Zhenyu didn't like her. When they occasionally talked, his eyes were full of impatience.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at me just now clearly showed some joy.
Su Xieqiu thought, could it be that the night was so beautiful that the two of them were attracted to each other?
Although she lived for 28 years in her previous life, she had no experience in love.
She often watched movies and read novels where the protagonists fell in love, but she had never put it into practice.
Su Xieqiu didn't know whether she had developed feelings for Han Zhenyu, she only knew that she didn't hate him.
Anyway, they are already married, so let things develop naturally.
If the man is willing, give it a try.
If we don't get along, we can just live our own lives as before and not disturb each other.
When Han Zhenyu came back, the Han family was having dinner in the main room.
He hung the washing out in the backyard and was about to go over to get something to eat when the door to his room opened.
Su Xieqiu waved at him. Han Zhenyu paused, walked over and asked, "Why didn't you go over to eat? Did they not let you eat?"
"What do we want to eat? Didn't you see that everyone else has almost finished eating? Didn't your stepmother cook for us? Drink a bowl of cold water later, tighten your belt and go to bed early. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep." Su Xieqiu shouted loudly in the yard while pulling Han Zhenyu towards their house.
The two men entered the room. Su Xieqiu closed the door and took a basket from the kang cabinet.
This basket was where Han Zhenyu put the roast chicken yesterday. Su Xieqiu lifted the cotton cloth on it.
Inside was a thick stack of scallion pancakes and a few boiled eggs, as well as two small cucumbers and two not-so-red tomatoes that she had picked in the backyard that afternoon.
After putting the basket on the kang table, she took a jar from the kang cabinet, which was filled with boiled water that she had made in the afternoon.
Su Xieqiu handed a scallion pancake to Han Zhenyu, "I made this this afternoon, eat it quickly."
Han Zhenyu looked at the golden and crispy scallion pancake in her hand, and couldn't help but look at the familiar yet unfamiliar face opposite him.
His heart suddenly palpitated, and the little thought that had been suppressed just now began to waver again.
"Take it and eat it quickly. You've worked all day, aren't you hungry?" Seeing that he was absent-minded, Su Xieqiu stuffed the pancake in his hand into his hand and started peeling eggs.
Han Zhenyu immediately retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and started eating the cake in his hand.
As soon as he finished eating a pancake, Su Xieqiu handed him a peeled egg.
Han Zhenyu did not take the egg, nor did he take the scallion pancake from the basket.
He looked at Su Xieqiu and said, "Eat it. The doctor told you to eat something good to nourish your body. You can eat these cakes and eggs slowly. I'll just eat the coarse grains."
Su Xieqiu said, "I ate. I ate while I was cooking in the afternoon. I'm not hungry now. You should eat quickly. If they find out later, they will quarrel with you again."
In fact, she was eating food from the space, which could be replenished once a month, so it wouldn't accumulate even if she didn't eat it.
Besides, food is really precious nowadays, so she left it to Han Zhenyu and she ate what was in the space.
Han Zhenyu saw that she didn't seem to be pretending, and it wasn't his style to give in to others, so he continued eating.
Su Xieqiu waited for him to finish his meal and discussed moving out with him.
"This family didn't like us in the first place, and now things have gotten so bad, if we continue to live together, there will definitely be conflicts in the future.
I'm thinking why not separate the family, move out, and live our own lives, so we don't have to deal with them anymore, it's annoying enough."
Han Zhenyu looked at her in surprise. He never expected that she would mention separation.
