There was only a dim light on in the room, and some shadows were cast on the wall, and new ripples appeared on the white and tender calves and the silk sheets.
Lu Huaijin kissed the sweat on Xu Niannian's forehead and whispered in her ear:
"You should really exercise in the morning."
Xu Niannian bit her lips leaving white marks, thinking to herself that this man was so rude.
Any man like him should not say something considerate and caring at this time?
He said these words without worrying about hurting his waist.
The next day, Xu Niannian woke up and rubbed his sore waist. He didn't know whether he had sprained the ankle or not, but he had sprained it anyway.
Fortunately, he has a strong service spirit and handled all the aftermath.
After the two reconciled, Lu Huaijin seemed to be more attached to Xu Niannian.
After every meal, whether it is lunch or dinner, I would pester her.
Sometimes I just like to hug her.
Sometimes I like to face her because I can see every expression on her face.
Watching her sink because of me, I wanted to engrave every expression on her face in my mind.
Even when he saw her sleeping in his arms, he felt very warm and kissed her on the face a few times.
Xu Niannian has been in a good mood these days, except that he feels a little lazy.
Today I was at home thinking about whether I should pick the beans, white radishes, carrots and mustard greens in the fields and make them into pickles to eat in the winter.
I heard a sound coming from outside, and then I went out with a white radish just pulled from the ground in my hand.
When I pushed the door open, I saw Wang Xiuying knocking on Wang Hongmei's door frantically.
This is strange. It's the first time I see it done the other way around.
Wang Hongmei's complexion has become much rosier these days. She occasionally visits Xu Niannian, asks her husband for money, and sends her child to nursery. She can be said to be in a good mood.
When I opened the door today, it turned out to be Wang Xiuying.
Looking at her ferocious face, there is no trace of her former outgoing and likable self.
"Why are you knocking on my door? Oh, were you chased away?"
Wang Xiuying reached out and grabbed Wang Hongmei’s hair:
"I knew you were behind this. If you hadn't reported me, would I be like this now?"
Wang Hongmei's subconscious reaction was to grab the other person's hair:
"Whoever reported it, I should thank him for enforcing justice."
She had asked Shen Ming to report it before, but Shen Ming refused. Even if he found out that Wang Xiuying was not a good person, he did not think of reporting it.
Because of this, she had a big fight with Shen Ming.
Later, Shen Ming gave in and gave him half of his salary, which eased the relationship.
Wang Hongmei fought hard as if she wanted to avenge all the grievances she had suffered in the past few years.
Wang Xiuying no longer had to pretend and this time she fought him without restraint, the two of them fighting fiercely.
Many military wives gathered around, and they all heard that Wang Xiuying was going to be kicked out of the family compound, so this could be considered a positive move.
As Xu Niannian listened to what they said, a guess came to her mind that it was probably Lu Huaijin who did it.
After all, Wang Xiuying is bigger and has better physical strength.
Just as Wang Xiuying was getting ruthless and was about to occupy the high ground, Xu Niannian rushed up.
He stuffed the white radish covered in dirt into Wang Xiuying's mouth.
Wang Xiuying was stunned by the sudden shove, and then Wang Hongmei scratched her twice. After the beating, Wang Xiuying was disabled and could not walk, so she had to stay here.
Xu Niannian grabbed Wang Hongmei's hand and asked her to stop hitting him.
Said to Wang Xiuying:
"If you are smart, you should leave now. Otherwise, if you are thrown out of the military area, how will you live in the future?"
Wang Xiuying spat out the white radish and dirt in her mouth, then raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
He said to Wang Hongmei again:
"You don't think you've won, do you? What Shen Ming did for me, he also did for you. Look at your hands, they're so old and wrinkled."
Undoubtedly, this hit Wang Hongmei's sore spot. This time she didn't rush up to fight, but threw the white radish on the ground at her head.
The military wives who were watching were shocked when they heard the last sentence. What did they mean by doing it for her? Have they ever done it for their own wives?
Xu Niannian glanced at Wang Hongmei's expression, then looked at Sister Li next to her:
"Come to my house and rest for a while."
She happened to make some milk tea at noon and had a lot left.
When I got home, I heated up the milk tea again and poured a cup for Wang Hongmei and Sister Li respectively.
"Warm yourself up. You look a little thin."
Wang Hongmei's cold hands covered the milk tea in her hands, and gradually a hint of warmth rose.
Sister Li didn't know how to comfort her. In fact, there were a lot of dirty things in their village, such as someone cheating with the widow next door.
There is nothing new under the sun.
What's more, Shen Ming didn't do anything and didn't cheat. He just had a fatherly heart and helped whoever needed help.
Who can say he is wrong? He sacrificed his own family for the sake of the public.
The only ones injured were his wife and children.
Xu Niannian took a sip of milk tea and said softly:
"In fact, it will get better. Keep improving yourself, learn to read, learn to cook, and if you have a skill, you will shine one day."
She also couldn't figure out what Wang Hongmei's advantages were, but she had to divert her attention and treat the man as not a man before she could let herself go.
What's more, major changes will occur in a few years.
"Can you read?"
In the past, she seldom went out and didn’t meet many people, so she was always a little timid in doing anything. Now she is a little bolder.
But I still can't help but retreat when I encounter this kind of thing:
"Can I?"
"Of course you can, and you can be a role model for Shenyang. Your positive and progressive attitude can infect those around you."
When she heard that she could serve as a role model for Shenyang, she felt excited.
Seeing that Wang Hongmei was somewhat moved, Xu Niannian gave her some more advice:
"The military has free literacy classes. You can go and take two days to try it out."
As the breeze blew, new buds sprouted from the jujube trees planted by Xu Niannian in the yard.
The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, the second best time is now.
At night, Xu Niannian hid in Lu Huaijin's chest again and tapped his abdominal muscles:
"Would you do the same?"
Although it was a sentence without a beginning or an end, Lu Huaijin already understood it.
When he came back in the afternoon, he heard about what happened next door. Lu Huaijin held him in his arms:
"What are you talking about? It seems that I have given you too much free time to think about these messes."
His kisses always carry a strong sense of possessiveness. The longer we are together, the more we realize that he is a very domineering person.
Fortunately, his movements were gentle every time, and he used his big palm to cover her exposed belly:
"When was there a cub in there?"
Xu Niannian's heart skipped a beat. When was the last time she had her period?
