Qin Yuanzheng swallowed hard when he heard Qiao Lanshu say that.

He actually didn't dare to sleep with Qiao Lanshu because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.

He is, after all, a normal man with plenty of energy. If there were such a delicate young girl lying next to him, who could resist?

However, he was also worried that Comrade Xiao Qiao's body might not be able to withstand it.

So, he was actually quite conflicted, lying in the next room.

He wasn't sleepy at all.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiao Lanshu asked sadly, "Commander Qin, haven't we already registered our marriage? Don't we sleep together after registering?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, you go back first, I'll take the blanket with me."

He thought to himself, it's just sleeping together, it's not like anything has to happen. The mattress at home hasn't been made yet, so it's normal for the girl to feel cold.

He brought two single blankets from his dormitory and spread them on the bed, which just filled the double bed.

He patted the mattress and said to Qiao Lanshu, "My cousin gave me a few kilograms of cotton coupons, and I've saved some myself. Tomorrow I'll take them to buy some cotton to make mattresses and quilts, then we'll be warm."

When Yang Wenyan and Deng Xiaozhen got married, they had already made quilts, so he had been saving the cotton for the past few years, reluctant to use it.

Now, all five jin of cotton coupons were given to Qin Yuanzheng at once.

Qin Yuanzheng had also saved up several kilograms of cotton coupons. Since he was getting married, he could apply for material subsidies and probably get an extra kilogram or two of cotton coupons.

After all, this is the north, where the weather is cold, and the supply of cotton coupons is more abundant than in the south.

He calculated that if he exchanged some more with his comrades, he could probably make one thick mattress, one thin mattress, and two quilts.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lanshu immediately replied, "I brought my own cotton coupons. I bought some today to make cotton-padded jackets, and I asked Sister Ling next door to make them for me."

Qin Yuanzheng nodded: "I'll give you some more cloth coupons. Make a couple more sets of clothes. It's cold here, so don't be stingy with the coupons."

These days, you need money for everything; sometimes money isn't as useful as cash.

It's only because Qin Yuanzheng is older and hasn't gotten married that he has accumulated so many cloth coupons. Otherwise, someone else, like Officer Yang, might not have had so many cloth coupons.

After Qin Yuanzheng made the bed, he said, "That's enough, go to sleep early."

As he spoke, he picked up a small oil lamp, lit it, placed it in the room, and then turned off the electric light.

Qiao Lanshu sat on the bed and looked at Qin Yuanzheng in the dim light: "Commander Qin, are you sleeping here too?"

Seeing the little girl's pleading eyes, Qin Yuanzheng swallowed hard and nodded, "Yeah, didn't you say you were cold?"

Qiao Lanshu was delighted to hear this.

It seems Qin Yuanzheng doesn't mind her.

She immediately lay down on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and slept soundly.

Qin Yuanzheng paused for a moment, glanced at Qiao Lanshu lying on the bed, remained silent for a while, and then lay down himself.

For a moment, the two lay on opposite sides of the bed, leaving the space in the middle of the bed large enough to plant two acres of land.

Qiao Lanshu turned her head and secretly glanced at Qin Yuanzheng.

Seeing Qin Yuanzheng lying there, his posture was as straight as a young poplar tree.

Qiao Lanshu was really puzzled. He was lying next to his wife, so why was Qin Yuanzheng so indifferent?

Does their statement about not being able to have children refer to sexual dysfunction?

But in his past life, when Zheng was in his thirties or forties, he was quite fierce.

Qiao Lanshu was lost in thought when she blushed.

She thought it best to start a conversation, so she asked, "Commander Qin, will I be able to find a job in the future?"

She had no relatives or friends here, and the job competition was so fierce, so she could only rely on Qin Yuanzheng to find her a job.

In her previous life, she worked in a food factory. The factory manager was Qin Yuanzheng's cousin, and they met through Yang Wenyan's introduction.

When Qin Yuanzheng heard her ask that, he turned around, looked at her in the dim candlelight, and asked, "Do you want to work?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Yes, I need to find something to do."

She didn't want to rely too much on a man. Even if she married far away, a woman still needs to have her own job and income.

Qin Yuanzheng was silent for a while, seemingly thinking, before saying, "Finding a job isn't difficult, but getting a permanent position isn't easy. There are many factories here; my cousin is the factory manager at the Chengbei Food Factory..."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that Sun Mingyong had previously worked in a food factory, and that Sun Mingyong's father-in-law, Wei Zhengye, was the director of the food factory.

He immediately said, "Forget it, the food factory won't do. I'll go ask around tomorrow and see what kind of job would suit you."

He felt that Comrade Xiao Qiao was young, had a soft personality, and was simple-minded, so he should find her a simpler job.

I just don't know where there are any vacancies.

Qiao Lanshu turned to the side, staring at Qin Yuanzheng in the darkness, and said, "If the food factory isn't hiring, I've heard that the propaganda department is recruiting teachers for literacy classes. Can I go?"

Qin Yuanzheng raised an eyebrow: "You want to do this?"

As he spoke, he thought about it again. He knew the head of the propaganda department, and he could ask him to take good care of Qiao Lanshu.

However, the people in the literacy class were all uneducated soldiers. They were all military thugs who spoke and acted rudely. Comrade Xiao Qiao was thin-skinned and young. What if he was harassed?

Qin Yuanzheng shook his head again and said, "No, this won't work. Let me think about it some more."

Qiao Lanshu just looked at him without saying a word.

Qin Yuanzheng noticed her gaze, and his ears turned bright red as he said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

Qiao Lanshu seemed to have mustered up her courage. She lifted her blanket and moved towards Qin Yuanzheng's blanket.

Then, to Qin Yuanzheng's astonishment, she crawled into his bed.

Qin Yuanzheng himself was hot and restless, and even just casually draped the blanket over himself made him feel warm.

Qiao Lanshu crawled into his blanket, leaned against his arm, and looked up at him with a blush on her face.

Qin Yuanzheng's muscles tensed up instantly, becoming as hard as stone, and he dared not move an inch.

His right arm touched something soft, a sensation that made him sweat even more. He didn't even dare to move his arm, afraid that he might hurt the little girl if he exerted too much force.

His voice was tense and a little hoarse as he asked, "What are you doing?"

Qiao Lanshu looked at him and whispered, "Commander Qin, I'm cold."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng said tensely, "Then can I give you my blanket?"

Hearing him say that, Qiao Lanshu immediately felt wronged. She asked, "Why did you marry me? Is it because you're afraid I'll threaten you with sterilization?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng frowned, and said in a low, gentle voice, "Of course not, no one can threaten me."

How could a soldier be threatened so easily?

If he doesn't want to, no one can force him to get married.

Seeing Qiao Lanshu's disappointed face, he couldn't help but soften and quickly said, "I... I only got the marriage certificate with you because I like you."

Qiao Lanshu immediately looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "Really?"

Then she added, "Commander Qin, can you hug me?"

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

It was just a hug, nothing more, so why was he so nervous?

My heart was pounding, and my palms were sweating.

He did not refuse Qiao Lanshu. He slipped his right hand through the gap between Qiao Lanshu's waist and the bed, gently hooked her, and pulled the petite Qiao Lanshu into his arms.

Although Qiao Lanshu took the initiative, at this moment, with her face pressed against his hard muscles, she dared not utter a sound.

She just lay on his chest, her heart pounding, and didn't dare to say a word.

Qin Yuanzheng was tense all over. He held Qiao Lanshu with one arm and tidied her messy hair with the other, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "Okay, can we sleep now?"

Qiao Lanshu dared not speak and silently nodded.

She actually felt that since they had already registered their marriage, shouldn't they be able to have sex as a couple?

But since Qin Yuanzheng didn't take the initiative, she was too embarrassed to say anything.

How can Qin Yuanzheng be so tolerant?

You can't possibly treat her like a child and therefore have no desire for her, right?

Thinking this, Qiao Lanshu reached out and hugged Qin Yuanzheng as well.

Her hand brushed against his body, and he instantly shuddered, grabbing her hand tightly. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "What are you doing?"

Qiao Lanshu blinked as he held her hand down and said, "I want to hug you too."

She's made it so obvious, if Qin Yuanzheng still doesn't get the hint, he'll be in an awkward situation!

Qin Yuanzheng looked down at her and whispered, "Stop fooling around!"

Qiao Lanshu's hand was held down, touching his hard abs. She said, "I'm not being silly. We're husband and wife now, can't we be intimate?"

She insisted that this man take responsibility.

Her hand stroked the man's abs, and Qin Yuanzheng, who was already feeling unbearable discomfort, groaned. He suddenly rolled over and pinned Qiao Lanshu to the bed, but just then, there was a "crack".

Qiao Lanshu felt a sudden emptiness behind her, and she cried out in surprise as Qin Yuanzheng quickly caught her.

Then, the two of them fell to the ground.

Qin Yuanzheng held her tightly, one hand protecting her head and the other protecting her back. The two lay under the bed, staring in disbelief at the collapsed wooden bed.

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu looked at Qin Yuanzheng, who said helplessly, "I didn't use much force just now, did I?"

He simply pressed Qiao Lanshu down on the bed, but who knew that the bed would be so fragile?

When he got into bed, he heard the wooden bed creaking, as if it was unstable, but at the time his attention was completely drawn to Qiao Lanshu, so he didn't think much of it.

Just then, the door next door opened. Huang Erling was still wearing her apron and had cotton wool stuck to her clothes. She was staying up all night making clothes when she suddenly heard a "bang" from next door, followed by Qiao Lanshu's scream.

She wondered if Qin Yuanzheng had returned yet, since her husband Zhao Jiannong hadn't.

Worried that something had happened to Qiao Lanshu, she came and knocked on the door: "Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao? Are you alright? What was that sound just now?"

Qiao Lanshu, her face flushed, came out of the room. She grabbed a coat and put it on, then opened the door and said, her face still red, "Sister Ling, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Huang Erling looked at her face and asked, "What happened just now? Are you alright?"

Qiao Lanshu blushed and shook her head: "I'm fine... it's just that the bed collapsed."

Huang Erling: "..."

Huang Erling looked somewhat surprised: "The bed collapsed?"

At this moment, she saw Qin Yuanzheng come out of the house. He was wearing long pants and a military green vest. He was tall, muscular, and had a gloomy face, which made him look rather frightening.

Huang Erling took two steps back in fright, and said in a low voice, "So your Qin Tuan is back?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Mm."

Huang Erling quickly said, "I'm so sorry, I really didn't know you two were doing something. Oh dear, you're just messing around. Well then, I'll go back first. You two continue, continue."

With that, she awkwardly hurried back into the house.

Good heavens, Commander Qin, who has been celibate for thirty years, is indeed fierce.

On their very first night of marriage, they've already broken the bed. That's quite something! I wonder how intense tonight will be!

With Comrade Xiao Qiao's small frame, Commander Qin could easily take on two of her. I wonder if she can handle it?

Huang Erling awkwardly ran back to the next room, while Qiao Lanshu blushed and turned back to look at Qin Yuanzheng.

Qin Yuanzheng walked over, closed the door, then reached out and hugged Qiao Lanshu, ruffled her hair, and asked in a low voice, "Were you scared?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll find someone to make a new bed tomorrow."

It needs to be sturdy enough!
