When Qiao Lanshu saw Huang Erling open the door, she guessed that the other party probably wanted to talk about the mattress.

But Qin Yuanzheng was angry, and Qiao Lanshu thought that she should try to appease him first.

Anyway, there's no rush for bedding; there are already bedding laid out on the kang (heated brick bed).

Qiao Lanshu followed Qin Yuanzheng into the house.

Qin Yuanzheng took off his clothes while looking at Qiao Lanshu without saying a word.

Looking at his expression, Qiao Lanshu felt as if he was deliberately waiting for her to coax him.

It doesn't seem like he's really angry.

But she wasn't sure, so she wanted to take a closer look at his expression, but Qin Yuanzheng turned away and wouldn't let her see it.

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu took off her thick cotton-padded coat, quilted jacket, and cotton-padded trousers, and hung her hat and scarf on the hook behind the door.

Then, she went back inside to pour herself some water, glancing at Qin Yuanzheng's expression as she drank.

Qin Yuanzheng was only wearing a military green vest and a pair of black shorts when he went to the kitchen to cook.

Qiao Lanshu was stunned.

Is Qin Yuanzheng really angry?

When the two of them usually come back together, he will help Qiao Lanshu take off her clothes and hug her and kiss her a few times.

Right now, he didn't even hug her, let alone kiss her.

Qiao Lanshu hugged her enamel water cup, took a sip, and then followed behind Qin Yuanzheng, deliberately speaking in a soft voice, "Honey, this water is so cold."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng's expression was on the verge of breaking down.

He coughed, took Qiao Lanshu's cup, then picked up the thermos and poured her half a cup of hot water. He then said, "Alright, go sit down outside. I'll cook."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu didn't go out; instead, she held her water glass and walked back and forth beside Qin Yuanzheng, tilting her head to look at him from his left every now and then: "Brother Zheng, are you angry?"

A moment later, she sat close to his right, reached out and shook his arm, and whispered, "Honey, please don't be angry with me, okay? I know I was wrong, and I'll never do it again."

Qin Yuanzheng simply couldn't resist her coquettishness.

He paused, then turned around, reached out and lifted her chin, looking at her and asking, "What did you do wrong?"

Qiao Lanshu blinked, then said in a way that was infuriatingly irritating, "I don't know."

Qin Yuanzheng: "..."

Qin Yuanzheng, holding his breath, said to her, "You don't know, yet you're already apologizing to me?"

Qiao Lanshu obediently replied, "Because if I don't admit my mistake, you'll ignore me."

See, as soon as she admitted her mistake, Zheng Ge immediately paid attention to her.

Qin Yuanzheng was completely under her thumb; he couldn't do anything about it.

Without even cooking or asking any questions, he picked up Qiao Lanshu and carried her into the house, angrily saying, "I think you just need to..."

********

Qiao Lanshu was pinned down on the kang by Qin Yuanzheng, and this time she really cried.

While busy, Qin Yuanzheng asked her, "Do you know you were wrong now?"

With red eyes, Qiao Lanshu said aggrievedly, "I know, I know, Brother Zheng, I really know I was wrong."

Qin Yuanzheng then asked, "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Qiao Lanshu knew what Qin Yuanzheng liked to hear. She had only provoked Qin Yuanzheng on purpose, and now she was filled with regret.

After all, she really couldn't accept the consequences of provoking Qin Yuanzheng.

She said pitifully, "I shouldn't have praised Director Guan, I should have praised you, you are my man."

Hearing her say that, Qin Yuanzheng finally felt relieved.

However, when he heard the girl say, "You are my man," he couldn't help himself again.

He immediately pressed his wife down and made her say a whole basketful of good things about him. He was happy and satisfied. He counted in his mind and felt that she had said half a basketful more than he had said about Guan Wenjun. Only then was Qin Yuanzheng finally satisfied.

When he finally forgave Comrade Xiao Qiao, he checked the time and it was already 8 p.m.

This time, the apology lasted for more than three hours.

This really upset Qiao Lanshu. She truly realized her mistake this time and made a serious self-criticism.

I promise I will never do it again.

So Qin Yuanzheng went to cook for her, completely satisfied.

******

The next day, Qiao Lanshu was to go to work.

But she almost couldn't get up.

She ate too much last night, which caused her to not sleep well all night.

Qin Yuanzheng also threatened her, saying that if she praised Guan Wenjun again in the future, he would make her apologize again.

It scared her so much that she had nightmares that night. In her dreams, Qin Yuanzheng chained her up, fed her, and asked her why she didn't praise him, whether his cooking wasn't good enough or he hadn't fed her enough.

This terrified Qiao Lanshu, who kept shouting in her dreams, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

When Qiao Lanshu woke up, she touched her stomach and felt like crying.

Qin Yuanzheng came out of the kitchen. He had already prepared breakfast and was calling Qiao Lanshu to eat.

He saw Qiao Lanshu rubbing her stomach with a resentful expression and found it somewhat amusing.

He came over and asked, "Are you hungry? Breakfast is ready: sweet potato and millet porridge, and cornbread. Get up and eat."

Qiao Lanshu quietly said, "I'm almost bursting with food, what else is there to eat?"

As she spoke, she snorted and jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), rubbing her lower back as she slowly went to wash up.

Qin Yuanzheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

……

After dinner, Qin Yuanzheng drove Qiao Lanshu to the food factory, and then he went to work at the military base in the mining area.

After resting for several days, there is still a lot of work in the mining area that needs his supervision, so he will be busy soon.

Qiao Lanshu arrived at the factory, put on protective clothing and gloves, and happily sat down to chop radishes.

Wang Xue arrived a little late. She hurriedly sat down opposite Qiao Lanshu and whispered to him:

"Xiao Qiao, would you like some bread? There's a problem with the recent batches of pillow bread produced in our factory. Two batches were ruined; the taste is off, and they're defective products. Our quality control director said they can't be sold!"

"They're only for internal consumption, no tickets needed, half price! I just heard the news and went to buy two. I tried one, it's a bit sour and the texture is a bit hard, but still edible. Do you want to buy two too?"

Defective products with problems cannot be sold.

However, food is precious and should not be wasted.

Therefore, they are usually sold internally.

Sometimes, if they can't be sold, they'll be sent to the food factory's internal canteen to make lunch for the employees.

Pillow bread is usually very expensive, and even food factory employees are reluctant to buy it.

Even though there were defective products this time, many people were still willing to buy them.

When Qiao Lanshu heard her say that, and since she also liked bread, she immediately asked, "Sister, where can I buy some? I'll buy two too."

Wang Xue immediately grabbed her arm and said, "You're in the bread-making class, right? Come on, I'll take you there!"

On the way, Wang Xue also said, "But this time the bread-making team leader is really unlucky. She actually made such a mistake. The director of the quality inspection department just gave her a thorough scolding in the workshop in front of everyone."
