A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qin Yuanzheng felt that he wasn't making things difficult for his wife; he was showing her concern.

As he drove, he said to Qiao Lanshu, "I went to learn about pregnancy today. It's normal to feel unwell during the first three months. I'll give you a massage when we get back; it will make you feel much better."

As he spoke, Qin Yuanzheng added, "By the way, in another two months, your pants probably won't fit anymore, right? Won't you need to get some new ones made?"

Qiao Lanshu shook her head; "No need, I'll just change my trouser drawstring to a longer one."

Her pants all had belts sewn on; she would tighten them when her belly was small and loosen them when her belly was big.

There weren't many cotton and cloth coupons left at home. Qiao Lanshu was planning to save the coupons and make spring clothes in the spring, since she had only been here for a short time and couldn't wear any of the clothes she brought from Guangzhou.

Thinking about it this way, it's actually better to stay in Guangzhou. You can wear short sleeves and shorts in spring, summer and autumn, and just make a light jacket for winter.

Unlike here, where people wear cotton-padded jackets and trousers, sweaters and long underwear, thermal underwear, and oh yes, thermal vests too.

In addition to that, she also had to make gloves, hats, scarves, and face masks.

Oh, and even her socks have to be made in three different kinds: one for summer, one for autumn, and one for winter.

Most of the cotton produced in our country has to be supplied to the north, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough to wear.

Qiao Lanshu's mind started wandering again. Since becoming pregnant, she has been easily fatigued, and when she is fatigued, she tends to drift off and have random thoughts.

She actually wanted to go back to Guangzhou. Although she had spent many years there in both her past and present lives, she still missed her hometown.

She also misses her dad a little.

Qin Yuanzheng noticed that she had suddenly fallen silent again, so he asked her, "Wife, what are you thinking about?"

Qiao Lanshu slowly began, "I was wondering, what's the weather like in Guangzhou right now?"

Qin Yuanzheng smiled and said, "You must know the place where you grew up."

Qin Yuanzheng knew that Qiao Lanshu was homesick.

But now it's the dead of winter, and it snows all the time, so trains are frequently canceled, and there's no way to go back.

Moreover, Qiao Lanshu is pregnant again, so she can no longer take long-distance train journeys and endure the hardships of travel.

Qin Yuanzheng then said, "I haven't been to Guangzhou yet. I'll definitely go back with you after the baby is born."

Both of them are married, but neither has met the other's parents yet.

Qin Yuanzheng had been thinking for a long time about finding an opportunity to visit Qiao Lanshu's home.

As a son-in-law, this is very necessary.

Hearing him say that, Qiao Lanshu smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Qin Yuanzheng drove Qiao Lanshu back to the neighborhood. The two went home to get their oil and meat coupons, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative near the neighborhood to buy vegetables.

There are state-run vegetable markets in cities nowadays, but this one is quite far from here.

Qiao Lanshu was used to buying vegetables at the nearby supply and marketing cooperative, since it was a zoned supply system, and she happened to be from that zone, so she could use her coupons.

As the two came out, Qin Yuanzheng said to her, "I told you to stay home and rest, I could have just gone shopping, why did you have to come along?"

Qin Yuanzheng felt that his wife was being a little too clingy.

But he was also secretly pleased, as he loved being with Qiao Lanshu.

Even if he were to go grocery shopping alone, he would still be thinking about Qiao Lanshu.

Qiao Lanshu held his hand, her scarf covering half of her face, leaving only her smiling, crescent-shaped eyes visible.

She said, "I've heard older people say that pregnant women should move around more, as it's good for the baby."

It's too cold up here in the north. She usually likes to sit in her little office, but at home she always wants to lie down.

She felt that things couldn't continue like this.

The couple walked to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative, where fresh baby carrots were available at the market today.

Each ticket limits purchases to one pound. The two of them queued up and bought one pound, intending to make a cold dish with it when they got home.

Qin Yuanzheng went to the meat counter again to queue up and bought half a pound of mutton.

Lamb is also subject to purchase limits; otherwise, he would have liked to buy more to help Qiao Lanshu improve her health.

Although the soldiers brought him a lot of poultry, he was not ready to kill them and eat them yet.

We'll kill the meat to nourish Qiao Lanshu when she's in confinement after childbirth. After all, the baby will be breastfeeding then, and the mother will be even more tired, so she'll need to eat meat.

While Qin Yuanzheng was queuing to buy meat, Qiao Lanshu was waiting for him next to him. Then, she saw a familiar face.

She stared at the other person for a few seconds, then walked to the other side and looked at their back.

Liu Weihong was carrying a full load of things and was walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Qiao Lanshu thought to herself, "This Liu Weihong is really rich; she can actually buy so many things."

So, where did her money actually come from?

She watched Liu Weihong leave the supply and marketing cooperative and then get into a car.

Qin Yuanzheng bought some meat and came to find her, saying somewhat unhappily, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, didn't I tell you not to run around? Why are you disobeying me again?"

At this time of day, the supply and marketing cooperative is crowded with people queuing to buy things. What if Qiao Lanshu accidentally gets bumped into?

Qiao Lanshu lowered her voice and asked, "Brother Zheng, do you recognize that car?"

Qin Yuanzheng followed her gaze and saw only a car driving away. The sky was overcast and getting dark. He glanced at it and said softly, "I think I've seen it before."

Qiao Lanshu's eyes lit up as she looked at him: "Do you know whose it is?"

Qin Yuanzheng shook his head: "I don't know."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng patted her head and said softly, "Silly girl, there are so many cars belonging to various units in the city, and I don't know them all. But I'll keep an eye out and let you know when I have the results."

He didn't ask Qiao Lanshu why she was paying attention to him. He would support whatever Qiao Lanshu wanted to know or do.

He carried the radishes and mutton he had bought, along with some canned goods, fried dough twists, and bread. He took Qiao Lanshu's hand and said, "Come on, let's go home and eat first."

After dinner, he was going to give his wife a massage; he couldn't wait.

Qiao Lanshu had no idea what he was thinking.

All that was known was that Qin Yuanzheng was somewhat anxious and looked eager to try.

After returning home, Qin Yuanzheng changed his clothes and went to the kitchen to cook, wearing a military green vest and loose pajama pants.

He also asked Qiao Lanshu, "Wife, do you want to take a bath tonight?"

Qiao Lanshu hesitated for a moment, but Qin Yuanzheng had already quickly added water to the pot and turned on the heat: "Why don't you take a shower? I'll check your body while I'm at it."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu glared at him: "What are you checking? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Qin Yuanzheng laughed: "Since you know, then you should wash it even more."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng was still sighing inwardly.

What a pity, how did his wife get pregnant?

He still has many poses he hasn't practiced yet.
