It was almost time for dinner that Xie Zhengchuan came back with a backpack on his back. He went to the kitchen as soon as he entered the door. Su Li was cooking dinner and heating ginger tea on the stove.
Seeing the man coming in, Su Liyu said: "There is ginger tea on the stove, drink it quickly to get rid of the cold. Why did you take so long to come back? Aren't you afraid of being cold..."
While talking, he did not stop cutting vegetables.
Xie Zhengchuan looked at the woman chattering away, and felt a surge of tenderness in his heart.
He reached out and hugged her from behind.
"Wife, you are so nice. I missed you the whole day I was away."
"......"
Su Li froze. What was he doing? How could he get into her hands without her noticing? He even rubbed his head against her neck like a big yellow dog.
"Ahem....what are you talking about? Let go of me, I want to cook!"
Xie Zhengchuan looked at the woman in his arms, whose ears were red, and laughed in a hoarse voice.
The cello-like chuckle made Su Li's heart tremble.
Xie Zhengchuan let her go and took out the things in the basket one by one, including three hares, two pheasants and half a basket of wild chestnuts.
Su Li's eyes widened. "Why are there so many things?"
Xie Zhengchuan looked at his wife's cute appearance, leaned over to pinch her little face, and then drank the warm ginger tea in one gulp.
"After a day here, I have to gain something before going home."
Su Li blushed a little, "Just talk, why are you touching me, huh!"
Then he continued to cut vegetables and pretended to say casually, "Go inside and warm up. We'll have dinner soon. Huzi didn't go out with you today and he was in a bad mood for a while."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After the man left, Su Li was stunned for a moment. Why did she feel that this bastard was different after he went out? Not only did he always look at her with a smile, but he also always made moves towards her. Although she did not object to it, this was definitely not a reason for him to take advantage of her.
In the afternoon, Su Li specially exchanged two pieces of tofu and made a portion of Mapo tofu, a portion of pork and sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, and a sweet and sour fish. Xie Zhengchuan had not finished the fried fish, so she cleaned it up, wrapped it with white flour, and fried it again.
This makes it easy to eat and preserve.
When Su Li brought the food to the main room, Xie Zhengchuan had already become friends with the children. The father and sons were having a great time together. Even Hu Ziye grinned and took a moment to call out to Su Li when he saw her come in, "Mom, hehehe!"
Su Li: “…”
Is this child a fool?
After the food was served, several children rushed to wash their hands and prepare to eat. The food their mother cooked was so delicious, they must eat more in the evening.
Su Li added chili peppers to the Mapo Tofu, mainly because she likes it, and Xie Zhengchuan also likes spicy food. Sweet and Sour Fish and Pork and Sour Cabbage Stewed with Vermicelli are both suitable for children. Eating a bite of vegetable and a bite of white flour bun is really delicious.
There are many people in the family, so Su Li always cooks big portions. Two children and two adults ate up the whole table of dishes. Xie Zhengchuan alone ate eight big steamed buns. He finished a steamed bun in just a few bites. If there was not enough food in his space, Xie Zhengchuan's way of eating would be scary.
Fortunately, I have my own space. If it were really the case in this era, the whole family would be starving to death!
After washing up in the evening, Su Li went to the east room to take a look. The little guys got along very well. Li Dan was very nice except that he was particularly polite to herself and Xie Zhengchuan. He just seemed a little restrained when eating. Su Li knew that he was afraid that she would eat too much and she would hate him.
The kang was warm, and Su Li reached out to tuck the northern corners of the children before leaving.
After returning to the room, Xie Zhengchuan had already laid down in bed with his eyes slightly open, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Tonight, Su Li specially brought out an extra quilt. Xie Zhengchuan covered himself with one, and Su Li and Bao Ya covered themselves with one.
Baoya had been coaxed to sleep by Xie Zhengchuan, her little face rosy from sleep. Su Li glanced at Xie Zhengchuan, blew out the kerosene lamp, and then fumbled to take off her clothes.
However, he still saw in the moonlight outside the window that when Su Li raised her hand, a small part of her slender waist was exposed under her shirt.
Xie Zhengchuan felt that his breathing had become much faster. He bit his back teeth, and when Su Li climbed onto the kang and was about to lie down, he reached out and pulled her.
He lifted the quilt and pulled the person into his arms, then turned over and pressed on Su Li.
The hot breath sprayed on Su Li's face. Su Li was a little confused, mainly because Xie Zhengchuan's movements were too fast. She felt that when the man pulled her, it was like pulling her little chicken.
She put her hands on the man's naked chest and shuddered slightly at the heat. "What are you doing? Why don't you wear clothes when you sleep?"
"Why do you need to wear clothes when sleeping?"
Su Li was furious and glared at him. Thinking that he couldn't bear it, she said, "Go down first and talk it over."
Xie Zhengchuan was sweating, "Ha! What do you think of my current situation? I have something to say to you, my wife."
Su Li listened to the man's voice next to her ear, her heart went numb for a moment, and even her toes curled up.
He tilted his head and asked: "You were still angry this morning, what are you doing now?"
"You know I'm angry, but you still don't tell the truth. Do you have me in your heart?" Xie Zhengchuan leaned over and straightened her head so that the woman could look directly at him. The room was not dark and no one could see anything. The moonlight poured in. Su Li felt that his eyes were hot and scary.
"I don't care whether you are still you or not. I only know that I want to grow old with you, Su Li. You are in my heart. As a soldier, I promise you that it is you I like, it is you I want to live with, and it is you I want to stay with for the rest of my life."
Su Li understood what he meant, but he was not surprised, nor did he ask her openly. He just told her his thoughts and feelings.
"I...I can't tell you now, but it's true that you are in my heart, and it's also true that I want to live a good life."
Xie Zhengchuan smiled softly, looking very contented. He raised his hand to pull the quilt over their heads, then lowered his head and kissed Su Li on the neck. Su Li closed her eyes and felt the man's breath. Her palms were sweaty from nervousness.
Then Xie Zhengchuan held her two little hands and lowered his head to seal her lips. Su Li felt as if all her breath was taken away from her. She was like a drowning person, and she held Xie Zhengchuan's hand tightly.
When Xie Zhengchuan let her go, Su Li seemed to come back to life, gasping for breath.
"Everyone has secrets. Su Li, I respect your secrets. It's my fault that I didn't give you enough sense of security, but one day you will be willing to tell me."
Xie Zhengchuan was on the edge of tension both mentally and physically. Now that he knew Su Li's intentions, he didn't want to endure it any longer. He let go of Su Li's hand, slowly touched the waistline of her autumn clothes, and slowly moved his lips closer to hers.
At this time, Baoya beside her whimpered. Su Li came to her senses and quickly grabbed Xie Zhengchuan's hand, "Don't... the child, the child is still alive, you... you go down."
Xie Zhengchuan's face turned black. "Why are you asking me to leave at this time? This is a critical moment!"
Su Li felt a little guilty, "No, absolutely not. What if the child wakes up? If the child sees you, I will beat you to death. Xie Zhengchuan, get down now."
"Then let me give you a kiss?"
"No, get down quickly." Su Li refused righteously.
Seeing her serious tone, the man sighed and turned over to lie down, but his hands on both sides were trembling slightly.
Su Li blushed a little and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"It's not uncomfortable, not at all. As long as you are happy, I can bear it. Anyway, the child is the most important to you. It doesn't matter to me."
Su Li: “…”
"You don't want to do this, I can't force you. If you're unhappy, I'll be even sadder."
Su Li: “…”
"after all......"
Su Li didn't wait for him to finish his chat, she reached out her hand and shook Xie Zhengchuan's hand. The man's body stiffened.
After a long time, the man gently rubbed the woman's sore wrists, kissed her fair face, and regardless of her struggles, he held her tightly in his arms and slept soundly all night.
