Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 319 You're More Fierce
"Wei Jinghuai." Wei Jingyuan called out Xiaohuai's full name in a warning tone, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you questioning your sister-in-law?"

Wei Jingyuan's face turned cold, his imposing aura undiminished. His gaze towards Xiao Huai was sharp; he wouldn't allow his younger brother to question his wife like that.

The imposing aura emanating from Brother Xiao Huai made him pale with fright, and Qiu Si was no better off, standing helplessly in place.

Seeing the two boys frightened by Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi was stunned for a moment, then felt helpless. She could sense that Xiao Huai was asking her, but she was just puzzled and didn't intend to interrogate her.

Clearly, Wei Jingyuan was overthinking things.

"Wei Jingyuan." Walking up to Wei Jingyuan, Tao Qiuyi slapped her arm. Her tone was fierce as she asked, "Why are you scaring me like that?"

"Stop making that awful face, and stop scaring people."

He was disciplining someone who disrespected her, and his expression was clearly distressed. Wei Jingyuan turned his head to look at her. His fierce expression didn't seem fierce to him at all; instead, he found it adorable.

He raised his hand, gently stroked her fair and smooth face, and then withdrew it.

Wei Jingyuan suppressed her upset expression and soothed her in a soft voice, "It's okay, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry," Tao Qiuyi said irritably. "Xiao Huai was just asking a question because she didn't understand. It wasn't what you think, a questioning."

"You're not allowed to yell at him anymore."

"You're rather fierce." Wei Jingyuan was becoming increasingly less irritable around her.

Tao Qiuyi suddenly didn't know what to say. She glared at Wei Jingyuan, then turned to look at Xiao Huai and Qiu Si. The fear on the two boys' faces faded, replaced by confusion.

Tao Qiuyi sighed inwardly, realizing she was intimidated by Wei Jingyuan. Was she able to directly say that she arranged for Xiao Huai and Qiu Si to share a room because of Qiu Si?

Because Qiu Si had lived alone in the mountains for more than three years, she was worried that if Qiu Si lived alone again, she would develop psychological problems.

That's why I thought of letting Xiaohuai and Qiusi share a room.

Both were boys, and not too far apart in age, so they were companions who ate and lived together.

After thinking for a moment, Tao Qiuyi said, "I personally think it's great to live together. We can look out for each other and have someone to talk to. We can also play together and study together. Isn't that wonderful?"

"It's very good." Xiao Huai nodded in agreement, and wanted to say something, but glanced at his older brother and didn't dare to speak.

He was startled by his older brother's scolding and felt a little wronged. His brother had misunderstood him; he genuinely hadn't intended to question his sister-in-law.

Seeing Xiao Huai's hesitant expression, Wei Jingyuan was speechless, feeling that his younger brother was sometimes really a headache.

Seeing that Xiao Huai agreed with her, Tao Qiuyi suddenly felt a little sorry for Xiao Huai. She had asked a question and was inexplicably scolded by his older brother.

This makes me want to speak, but I don't dare to.

Seeing that Xiao Huai was being scolded unjustly, Tao Qiuyi decided to help him out. She smiled and said, "Xiao Huai, just say what you want to say. You're at the age where you're learning, so ask if you don't understand."

"Ask me, or ask your older brother. There's nothing in our family that can't be said."

With his sister-in-law's words, Xiao Huai was no longer afraid of his older brother.

"Where's Pear? Is Pear still sharing a room with Sister-in-law?" Xiao Huai asked, looking directly at his older brother.

Seeing Wei Jingyuan's change of expression, Qiu Si's heart skipped a beat, sensing that Xiao Huai was about to be scolded again.

Wei Jingyuan's face darkened instantly as he glared at Xiao Huai. "Your sister-in-law and I share a room, and Li Zi has her own room. You and Qiu Xiang can decide for yourselves how you want to live."

Before, it was because there weren't enough rooms, but now that there are enough, he insists on sharing a room with his wife. Tao Qiuyi glanced at Xiao Huai silently, regretting helping him.

She understood Wei Jingyuan's thoughts and wasn't one to be pretentious. Since they had already registered their marriage, it was only natural for them to live together.

But she still felt embarrassed when Wei Jingyuan said it out loud.

That's what she thought, but Tao Qiuyi was too ashamed to say it aloud. She looked at Xiao Huai and Qiu Si and said, "Your older brother is right. You two can decide for yourselves how you want to live."

"Living separately is fine too, since our current house is big enough."

Although she wanted to help Qiu Si adapt to communal living as soon as possible, she wouldn't force Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai looked at Qiu Si, and Qiu Si looked at Xiao Huai. A few seconds later, the two boys laughed at the same time.

“We’ll share a room,” the two boys said in unison.

“Alright, then it’s decided.” Having achieved her goal, Tao Qiuyi was very happy and waved to the two boys, saying, “Come, come, let me show you your new house.”

After calling out to the two boys, Tao Qiuyi remembered that she hadn't called out to Wei Jingyuan, so she called out to Wei Jingyuan again.

"Here you are." Wei Jingyuan replied lazily, gave Qiu Si and Xiao Huai a meaningful look, and then followed Tao Qiuyi.

Xiao Huai and Qiu Si smiled at each other. Their sister-in-law and elder sister wanted them to share a room, and they naturally couldn't disappoint her.

Tao Qiuyi pushed open the door to the second room from the top on the right. After opening the door, she didn't go inside, but stood by the door and gestured for Xiao Huai and Qiu Si behind her to go in first.

Xiao Huai and Qiu Si glanced at Tao Qiuyi suspiciously, then stepped into the house with trepidation.

Upon entering the room, the two boys froze on the spot. The first thing they saw was the bed, which had two bunks, with a staircase leading up to the second bunk.

Xiao Huai and Qiu Si fell in love with the bed as soon as they saw it.

"This bed...this bed...good, good, really good." "Really good" was the only suitable adjective that Xiao Huai could find.

"Yes, it's great, I love it." Qiu Si was much more outspoken than Xiao Huai.

He says what he thinks.

They ran excitedly to the bedside, too afraid to step onto the stairs to the second floor. They stood on the floor, touching this and that; anyone could see how much they loved it.

Even Xiao Huai, who usually kept his emotions hidden, was now beaming with joy.

Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan stood at the door, looking at the two boys inside.

"See? I told you they'd like it!" Tao Qiuyi nudged Wei Jingyuan with her elbow, her face beaming with pride.

Remembering the time she gave Uncle Chen the blueprints for the bunk beds and asked him to make them, Tao Qiuyi smiled even more smugly at Uncle Chen's surprised expression.

Bunk beds are not only useful decades from now, but even more so in this era of scarcity.

It's just that no one has thought of using it this way yet.

Nowadays, many families have three or four people crammed into one room. With just two beds, there's hardly any space left, and adults and children have virtually no privacy.

The bunk beds don't take up much space and can sleep four people. You can also pull a cloth down from the bottom of the bed to cover yourself and protect some privacy.

"Hmm." Wei Jingyuan nodded in agreement. "The soldiers live in bunk beds, but they're very simple and not as nice as the bed you made."
