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

Qiao Lanshu was happy to have a job, so on her way back, she and Qin Yuanzheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy grain.

Qin Yuanzheng still had a lot of rice, flour, and sweet potatoes that he brought back.

She still had the cured meat and sausages she brought, but no vegetables.

There were quite a few people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Qin Yuanzheng subconsciously reached out and put his hand on Qiao Lanshu's shoulder, pulling her into his arms.

Despite the stares of passersby, Qiao Lanshu blushed, pushed Qin Yuanzheng's hand away, and walked to the side.

Qin Yuanzheng: "???"

Qin Yuanzheng looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Lanshu said in a low voice, "We're outside."

Qin Yuanzheng asked, puzzled, "What happened outside?"

Is he really that bad?

Qiao Lanshu blushed as she looked at him and whispered, "You need to be careful about how it goes."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Before they got married, Qin Yuanzheng was old-fashioned enough. If Qiao Lanshu touched him, he would say "Nonsense".

Now that they're married, he wants to get closer to Qiao Lanshu, but she refuses.

Qin Yuanzheng felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

Qin Yuanzheng followed behind the little girl with a stern face. Whatever the little girl took a liking to, he would give her money and tickets, and then be responsible for carrying the things.

In the winter in the north, fresh fruits and vegetables are extremely scarce. If you want to eat fruit, you can only buy some apples and pears, or persimmons, which are very expensive.

Or it's canned oranges, canned yellow peaches, or canned hawthorns.

Vegetables are also scarce, consisting only of locally grown Chinese cabbage, radishes, scallions, potatoes, and so on.

This was indeed a bit of a challenge for Qiao Lanshu, who loves leafy green vegetables.

However, she is adaptable and can tolerate these foods.

In the north, there is a sale of winter-stored cabbage. People can use coupons to buy 100 jin (50 kg) of cabbage and store it in the basement of their apartment complex.

A pound of Chinese cabbage only costs 2 cents, making it a staple vegetable that every household stocks up on.

Qin Yuanzheng had never stored winter vegetables while serving in the military.

Now that he's married, he brought Qiao Lanshu to the supply and marketing cooperative, went straight to the vegetable section, took out his money and tickets, and bought fifty catties of Chinese cabbage.

It costs two cents per pound, so fifty pounds only cost one dollar.

Qin Yuanzheng put the cabbage in the car and then asked Qiao Lanshu, "Is there anything else you need to buy?"

The weather is cold, and I may not be able to go out to buy groceries again. Besides, winter-stored vegetables are only available for a short period of time, and they will be gone by the depths of winter.

Qiao Lanshu wanted to buy more, so she said, "Let's buy some things that keep well, like potatoes and pickles."

At this time of year, potatoes cost three cents a pound, and fresh scallions cost five cents a pound. People would buy dozens of pounds at a time.

Qin Yuanzheng nodded: "Potatoes are fine, let's buy fifty catties."

Potatoes, scallions, Chinese cabbage, and radishes are all vegetables that locals stock up on to prepare for winter.

Qiao Lanshu bought another five catties of soybeans, intending to sprout them at home.

After buying vegetables that are easy to store for winter, Qiao Lanshu saw a fruit stand and couldn't resist stopping to buy some.

She asked Qin Yuanzheng in a low voice, "Brother Zheng, how much do those apples cost per pound?"

After walking around like this, she gained some understanding of the prices here.

Winter vegetables are relatively cheap here, but fresh fruit is very rare, and canned fruit is even more of a commodity; most people simply can't afford to buy it.

Qin Yuanzheng couldn't bear to let Qiao Lanshu suffer, so he immediately said, "Buy it if you want to eat it. Apples keep well, so we'll buy twenty pounds and keep them at home. You can eat one a day."

Qiao Lanshu quickly asked, "How much is it per pound? Do you have fruit coupons?"

Qin Yuanzheng nodded: "Yes, I've saved up a lot of votes."

He used to have nowhere to spend his money, but now it's great. He can buy things for his wife, and he's happy to spend it.

Apples and pears are ten times more expensive than potatoes. After all, these days, the country encourages agricultural production in order to increase grain output and solve people's food and clothing problems.

Most of the land was used to grow food.

Fruit trees are only grown in a few places, so their yield is far lower than that of Chinese cabbage.

The price is 40 cents per pound, so 20 pounds would cost 8 yuan.

Eight yuan, that's almost half a month's wages for a temporary worker.

After all, Qiao Lanshu's job only paid 18 yuan a month.

Qin Yuanzheng didn't mind spending money. He bought ten catties of apples and ten catties of pears. He also saw some locally grown persimmons, which were only one cent per catty, but they were still hard and would have to be left for a while before they could be eaten.

He also bought ten jin (5 kg).

Carrying thirty pounds of stuff, she didn't feel the weight at all, and even had a free hand to hold Qiao Lanshu's hand: "There are canned fruits over there, shall we go buy a few bottles?"

Qiao Lanshu was too embarrassed to hold his hand, so she avoided it.

Qin Yuanzheng: "???"

Qiao Lanshu doesn't like canned fruit. She said, "We have enough grain and fruit at home, let's cook something."

As she spoke, she blushed and came out of the supply and marketing cooperative first.

Qin Yuanzheng's expression was not good; his wife wouldn't let him hold her hand, and he felt uneasy.

After getting in the car, Qin Yuanzheng was driving, and Qiao Lanshu didn't notice that Qin Yuanzheng's expression was off. She muttered to herself, "We have rice, we have flour, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage... Oh, right, did you buy the radishes too?"

Qin Yuanzheng nodded: "I bought it."

Qiao Lanshu said, "I heard that the pickled vegetables made in our food factory are delicious. After I start work, I'll go to the brewing workshop to take a look and buy some pickled radish strips to eat."

Qin Yuanzheng nodded somewhat absentmindedly: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

When they got back to their apartment building, Qin Yuanzheng opened the car door, unloaded the things, and put them in their family's basement.

The once empty basement is now completely filled with items.

Qin Yuanzheng was pleased to see this.

After putting down the vegetables, they carried the fruit, a large cabbage, four potatoes, and two scallions back to their upstairs apartment.

This one cabbage is enough for them to eat for several meals.

After returning home, Qin Yuanzheng took off his clothes and started cooking. He washed some fruit for Qiao Lanshu and said, "I'll cook. You can rest for a while."

Qiao Lanshu refused to rest, so she came in to help wash and chop the vegetables.

The couple cooked together.

He made braised rice again, and Qin Yuanzheng also steamed a few buns. He always felt that rice wasn't enough to fill him up, so he preferred to eat buns.

Qin Yuanzheng made a stew of potatoes and cured pork, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and steamed egg custard.

The steamed egg was specially made for Qiao Lanshu. He always felt that his wife was too thin, looking small and frail, as if she were malnourished, and that she should eat more.

After dinner, Qin Yuanzheng boiled water for Qiao Lanshu to take a bath, and then quietly returned to the bedroom.

The first two kang beds had been dried, so he laid two layers of kraft paper on them, and then a layer of straw mat.

Then he went next door and moved the two mattresses over to put them on.

He reached out and pressed it down. Hmm, the kang (heated brick bed) was solid and firm. Even after laying down the mattress, it wasn't hard. He lay down on it for a bit and thought it was alright. The little girl should be able to get used to sleeping on it.

After Qiao Lanshu finished showering, she came out of the bathroom and saw that Qin Yuanzheng had already made up the kang (a heated brick bed).

When Qin Yuanzheng saw her come out, his eyes were somewhat dark as he stared at her. He said, "You get on the kang first, I'll go wash up."

With that, he strode into the bathroom.

Qiao Lanshu blushed and walked to the bedside—oh, no, to the kang (heated brick bed). The kang in the north is so big, it's big enough for her to roll around on several times.

She took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and carefully tidied up the mattress that Qin Yuanzheng had laid out, making it neat and tidy.

Qin Yuanzheng took a quick shower. He had been holding back for several days. His desire was increasing every day, gradually approaching the threshold, but he couldn't release it. This feeling made him restless and irritable these past few days.

Fortunately, three days after the wedding, he was finally able to consummate the marriage today.

After taking a shower, Qin Yuanzheng put on his shorts and picked up his vest. However, after glancing at the vest and hesitating for only half a second, he tossed it aside.

It's fine if I wear it casually for my wife to see.

You don't need to wear it tonight.

Qin Yuanzheng turned off the living room lights and returned to the room. He immediately saw his wife lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) reading a newspaper, her legs raised, revealing her fair skin.

Qin Yuanzheng stared at her for a few seconds. Noticing his gaze, Qiao Lanshu looked up. She met Qin Yuanzheng's eyes, then sat up, blushing, and said nervously, "Brother Zheng, are you done washing?"

Despite her past life experiences, Qin Yuanzheng still exerted significant pressure on her at this moment.

She always had a feeling of being watched by a wild beast, which made her feel helpless.

She glanced at Qin Yuanzheng once, then abruptly looked away, her face flushed red to the roots of her neck, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother Zheng, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Qin Yuanzheng has a wheat-colored complexion and very strong muscles, which makes people blush.

Qiao Lanshu was too embarrassed to look any longer. Qin Yuanzheng came over and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed). He hugged Qiao Lanshu and whispered, "We're husband and wife now, why are you still so easily embarrassed?"

Qiao Lanshu was held in his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat. She didn't want to, but she couldn't control her tendency to blush easily.

This was also the first time Qin Yuanzheng had ever looked at his wife, who was more than ten years younger than him, and he felt a deep tenderness in his heart.

He whispered, "Don't be nervous, I'll be careful, I won't hurt you."

Qin Yuanzheng, a man who has been through the battlefield, usually lives a rather rough life when he is alone.

But now, with Qiao Lanshu by his side, he has become extremely cautious.

He hugged and kissed Qiao Lanshu, kissing her all over...

Then, he slowly took off Qiao Lanshu's clothes.

Not to mention Qiao Lanshu, Qin Yuanzheng himself was extremely nervous.

He felt he was losing control of his strength, and in a moment of excitement, he heard a "rip" sound, and Qiao Lanshu's clothes were torn.

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu was heartbroken; she had brought these clothes all the way from Guangzhou.

Her face flushed, she pressed his hand down, licked her numb lips, and felt as if her whole body was enveloped in a huge furnace, making her blush and feel hot. With red eyes, she said, "Oh dear, Brother Zheng, this fabric is very expensive."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng's eyes were also red with emotion. He said in a gruff voice, "Be good, I'll buy you a new one next time."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng had been single for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever seen a woman's body, let alone such a beautiful one.

Qiao Lanshu had a well-proportioned figure, with curves in all the right places and a slender build in all the right places. Her fair skin had a deep pinkish hue, and her long, seaweed-like black hair was spread out on the bedding. Her bangs were soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead and face.

Qin Yuanzheng reached out and gently brushed the wet hair off her neck.

When those rough fingers touched her, she instinctively shrank back, looking somewhat afraid of him.

Qin Yuanzheng asked in a hoarse voice, "This is nothing! It hasn't even started yet, and you can't take it anymore?"

Qin Yuanzheng was strong, and Qiao Lanshu was struggling to keep up. She kept saying, "Brother Zheng, you..."

Qin Yuanzheng's muscles were tense, and he was sweating profusely, soaking the bedding.

Qiao Lanshu felt herself sweating from the heat. She wiped her eyes and whispered, "Brother Zheng, you..."

At this moment, Qin Yuanzheng was in no position to brake.

He whispered reassuringly, "******"

……

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng also possesses a healthy and robust body, and his energy is frighteningly abundant.

Qiao Lanshu reached out and pressed her hand against his chest, trying to push him away. Qin Yuanzheng looked at Qiao Lanshu's fingers, slender and long, like water scallions. He held her fingers and played with them for a while, and then...

While Qiao Lanshu was in a daze, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his hand.

This brought her to her senses, and she belatedly realized that several marks had appeared on her fingers.

Qiao Lanshu withdrew her hand, glanced around in the chaos, her mind a complete mess, unable to recall anything.

All that could be seen was Qin Yuanzheng's face, sometimes near, sometimes far, along with his bulging chest muscles and a pair of beautifully muscular arms.

His breath was in her ear, his voice hoarse.

Qiao Lanshu heard what was said, but it seemed like the information didn't reach her brain, because she didn't remember anything.

I only knew to follow his voice, but I didn't know what I said.

Seeing that Qiao Lanshu was on the verge of fainting, Qin Yuanzheng paused and whispered, "Sweetie, say it again?"

Qiao Lanshu asked blankly, "What are you shouting about?"

Qin Yuanzheng stared at her with bloodshot eyes, his gaze burning with intense desire. He whispered, "Husband."

Qiao Lanshu then said to him, "Husband."

Hearing her soft, almost coquettish "husband,"

Qin Yuanzheng suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted.

Then, he suddenly picked up Qiao Lanshu and carried her off the kang (a heated brick bed).

Qiao Lanshu was petite and thin. He held her in his arms like a child, his back completely covering her.

From a distance, if it weren't for her slender legs, no one would be able to tell that Qin Yuanzheng was holding someone in his arms.

He held Qiao Lanshu in his arms, pressed her against the wall, and let her lean on his broad shoulders. He then coaxed her softly, "My dear wife, call me 'husband' one more time?"

Qiao Lanshu thought that if she shouted at him as he asked, he would soften and let her go.

So she called out softly again, "Husband..."

This was like pouring gasoline on the burning old house.

The fire burned even more fiercely.

Qin Yuanzheng's whole body was **

*********

At this moment, he finally understood why his comrades who were married and had families missed home so much.

He doesn't want to go to work at all right now.

All he wanted was to hold his sweet and soft wife day and night, every moment, and not go anywhere else.
