Qiao Lanshu belatedly realized that her brother Zheng seemed to be jealous.

In her past life, she and Qin Yuanzheng were together for five years. At that time, Qin Yuanzheng was promoted from brigade commander to division commander, and they moved to a bigger house.

Life has improved, but Qin Yuanzheng's health is deteriorating day by day.

At that time, Qin Yuanzheng was not jealous at all because she was in contact with other men.

Instead, he would often invite his comrades and subordinates, whether unmarried or divorced without children, to his home and deliberately introduce them to each other.

Qin Yuanzheng was worried that after he left, they would have no children, and Qiao Lanshu would be all alone. She was only in her thirties and still very young, and she needed someone to rely on.

So he thought of introducing her to someone, and he even introduced his nemesis Guan Wenjun to Qiao Lanshu.

However, what he didn't know was that Qiao Lanshu fell ill after he left.

She was physically weak and often found herself lost in fantasies about her intimate moments with Qin Yuanzheng.

She found it quite strange to see Qin Yuanzheng acting jealous.

She smiled at Qin Yuanzheng, whose face was displeased and whose brows were slightly furrowed. He seemed genuinely unhappy, but he knew he was being unreasonable, so he didn't dare to say anything harsh. He looked at Qiao Lanshu.

Qiao Lanshu was still laughing.

Qin Yuanzheng reached out and pinched her cheek, saying in a suppressed anger, "What are you laughing at?"

Don't you find his childish behavior quite funny?

He was just too concerned about Qiao Lanshu, so he was always suspicious.

Qiao Lanshu hugged him, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered, "I just think Zheng-ge is so cute like this."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

cute?

This isn't a word used to describe men.

However, since his young wife had taken the initiative to kiss him, he certainly couldn't let her go.

So he just sat in the car and kissed his wife for a long time.

He only let go of Xiao Qiao after kissing her until she begged for mercy, and then drove home satisfied.

……

After returning home, Qin Yuanzheng immediately started boiling water for his bath.

Why is it that his wife won't let him touch her unless she's taking a bath?

They said things like it was unhygienic.

It's so cold and dry here that many people only take a shower every few days.

However, Qin Yuanzheng was willing to indulge his wife, since taking a bath together was quite interesting.

After changing her clothes, Qiao Lanshu came to the kitchen to cook with him.

Qin Yuanzheng said, "Go out and rest. There are some biscuits and melon seeds on the table. Go and have some. Would you like an apple? I'll cut one for you."

The two of them only go home for dinner in the evening, so the food stored in the basement hasn't been touched much.

The apples in the kitchen haven't been eaten yet.

Qiao Lanshu then said, "I'll cut it."

As she spoke, she said that she had already washed the apple clean, and then she took a knife and started cutting it.

Her knife skills are quite good; after all, she's been cutting radishes for a long time and can cut apples into even pieces.

Then place it on a plate.

Qin Yuanzheng was kneading dough. He had bought lard and mutton that morning and planned to fry the lard and then make mutton noodle soup.

Qiao Lanshu picked up a piece of apple, stood on tiptoe, and fed it to him: "Brother Zheng, have an apple."

Qin Yuanzheng turned around, took a bite of the apple, and bit her fingers along with it.

Qiao Lanshu blushed immediately. She quickly withdrew her hand, picked up the apple, and left, saying, "Brother Zheng, I'm going out."

Qin Yuanzheng watched her departing figure and smiled for a while.

His wife is quite shy.

We've been married for so many days, done everything, and seen everything, yet you're still so shy?

This always made him itchy to tease her.

After finishing their meal, the couple went to take a shower together, just like yesterday.

Actually, Qiao Lanshu didn't really want to take a bath; she felt that soaking her feet would be enough.

However, after Qin Yuanzheng tried the large water vat yesterday, he found it quite good and developed a taste for it. So today, as soon as he finished eating, he filled the large water vat with water again.

Qiao Lanshu had no idea what the man was thinking. She said, "Brother Zheng, we can just take a bath every few days from now on. We don't need to do this every day. It's such a waste of water."

Qin Yuanzheng nodded without changing his expression and said, "Okay, I was worried you'd catch a cold. Didn't you want to take a bath?"

As he spoke, he came over, closed the bathroom door, and then pulled Qiao Lanshu to take a bath.

Qiao Lanshu's face turned bright red as she recalled her experience from the previous night.

Actually, taking a bath is quite comfortable, but some people just can't stand it.

Qin Yuanzheng whispered in her ear, "What are you shy about? Didn't you like this water tank yesterday?"

Qiao Lanshu said softly, "I don't dislike it, but you can't bully me in a little while."

Qin Yuanzheng went in first as usual, then let Qiao Lanshu sit on his lap. He whispered in her ear, "How have I ever bullied you? I love you so much."

Qiao Lanshu pushed away his mischievous hand and said, "Look, you're bullying me again."

Qin Yuanzheng didn't stop. He coaxed her in a low voice, "Okay, I'll take it easy then, alright?"

Qiao Lanshu was no match for him; she couldn't push him away, nor could she run away. What else could she do?

He's the only one left to bully.

-

Today they took a shower together for more than an hour again.

Finally, Qin Yuanzheng carried Qiao Lanshu out of the room, laughing as he said to her, "How can you be so weak? You can't even take it?"

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu leaned on Qin Yuanzheng's broad shoulder, her hand still stroking her belly.

She thought to herself, "It's a pity that Zheng Ge is infertile. Otherwise, given how things have been these past few days, I guess he would already be pregnant."

Qin Yuanzheng wasn't considering the child at all at that moment.

He felt that having Qiao Lanshu was enough; Qiao Lanshu was still young, and he had to raise her like a child.

That night, as the two lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), Qiao Lanshu leaned against Qin Yuanzheng's chest and whispered, "Brother Zheng, I heard there are two orphanages in our city with many homeless children. I think..."

Qin Yuanzheng immediately interrupted her, saying, "I don't want to adopt a child right now."

In fact, he wasn't particularly attached to having children; it was just that the people around him were very concerned about his infertility and reacted too strongly.

He said softly, "Xiao Qiao, I have enough for you. We can talk about children later. If you still want children in ten years, we can adopt one then."

Qiao Lanshu smiled and said, "No, what I mean is, I'd like to sponsor the children at the orphanage, maybe give them some stationery, clothes, or food. Doesn't the orphanage have a sponsorship program?"

Qiao Lanshu wanted to do more good deeds and sponsor more children. Maybe heaven would take pity on her kindness and send her and Zheng Ge a child?

Upon hearing her say that, Qin Yuanzheng nodded without hesitation. He said, "Okay, do it if you want. I'll give you the money."

……

Qiao Lanshu kept her word. The next day was a public holiday, so she didn't go to work. However, Qin Yuanzheng had to report to the army because he had already used up his seven days of wedding leave.

After Qin Yuanzheng finished lunch, he drove back and, together with Qiao Lanshu, bought 100 jin of potatoes and 100 jin of cabbage, and went to the orphanage in the east of the city.

Qiao Lanshu actually wanted to buy some flour and eggs, but she found that she didn't have enough coupons and could only buy winter vegetables.

On the other side, Guan Wenjun, the director of the Revolutionary Committee, heard about this and immediately came out of his office.

He rushed outside, saying, "These past few days, Qin Yuanzheng has been keeping a close eye on my young wife, not even letting her leave the house. Has she finally come out now?"

He pulled out a pair of sunglasses, put them on, smoothed his hair, and said to his subordinate, "Drive. We're going to the orphanage in the east of the city. Oh, and buy some food for the children... What did Qin Yuanzheng buy? We need to buy better than him!"
