Chapter 035.

After accepting Dabai’s enthusiasm, Zhen Zhen and Shui Huai Ming continued to head back home.

Dabai wagged his tail and happily ran forward, ran for a while and then ran back, continuing to jump around next to Zhen Zhen.

When they saw the familiar family yard, Shi Huai Ming said, “We’re home.”

Zhen Zhen followed him into the yard to go home, not yet reached the front door, suddenly heard someone behind him call out: “Little Cotton?”

Zhen Zhen turned around, only to see it was Li Shuang who had just returned from lunch.

The moment she saw Li Shuang, Zhen Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened up, busy greeted Li Shuang in front, “Sister-in-law.”

Li Shuang smiled and said, “You finally came back?”

After saying this, she glanced at Shui Huai Ming who was not far away, “I think he still has some conscience.”

Although he was scolded by Li Shuang earlier, Shui Huai Ming didn’t have a problem with Li Shuang because of this.

He greeted Li Shuang politely, and then went home with his luggage.

When he arrived home, he put down his luggage, grabbed a hot water bottle, and went out to get some hot water.

After a short goodbye, Zhen Zhen and Li Shuang stood outside and talked for a few more minutes.

Li Shuang said to Zhen Zhen, “I’m so angry with him, I scolded him severely on the day you went back to the countryside. But he himself is also very anxious, since you left, has been losing his mind. After two days, he took the initiative to go to the principal’s office to ask for a leave of absence. He’s always been a disciplined person, so it’s obvious that he’s really in a hurry.”

Hearing Li Shuang said so, Zhen Zhen lowered his head and pursed the corners of his mouth smile.

Not waiting for Zhen Zhen to speak, Li Shuang suddenly whispered: “Although he is aware of the wrong, but also quite sincere, but also really angry before, we can not be coaxed by him and then all let it go, must be more wear him, so that he also taste more of this kind of taste.”

Zhen Zhen looked at Li Shuang and laughed out, also whispered: “Good.”

Seeing that Shi Huaiming came back to fetch water, Li Shuang didn’t drag Zhen Zhen to talk more.

She cleared her throat and said in a normal voice, “You quickly go back and clean up, I’m also going back to get ready for dinner, just come back, I’ll find you to play again when I have time.”

Zhen Zhen nodded and went home with Li Shuang on their own.

When she entered the house and just closed the door, Servant Huai Ming walked over to her and said, “You first freshen up, I’ll go get dinner.”

Zhen Zhen nodded and answered, and Servant Huai Ming opened the door and went out.

He hadn’t even left the courtyard when he saw He Shuo and Lao Zhou coming back from class.

Seeing Shi Huai Ming, He Shuo and Lao Zhou’s eyes both lit up, and before he could walk up to him, He Shuo smiled and said, “Yo, comrade, you’re back?”

Walking in front of him, Mr. Huai Ming responded, “I’m back.”

Old Zhou then asked, “How is it? Did you bring your daughter-in-law back?”

Shi Huaiming nodded, “I’ve brought her back.”

He Shuo smiled and said, “If you’ve brought her back, take good care of her, and don’t make her run away again.”

Servant Huai Ming was confident, “Definitely won’t.”

After the three of them finished saying a few words, Servant Huai Ming continued to the cafeteria.

Old Zhou and He Shuo continued home side by side, Old Zhou said, “Both of your daughters-in-law are not easy to deal with, I can’t stand it. You said that Huai Ming taught his daughter-in-law to read so many words, see, now it’s hard to control.”

After listening to Lao Zhou’s words, He Shuo smiled and shook his head, not taking it up.

When they arrived home, the two of them split up and went back to their respective homes.

Wu Dafeng was doing needlework at home, and the four dolls were making a mess in the house that was going to overturn the roof.

See Lao Zhou came back, Wu Dafeng put down the hands of the needle and thread shouted: “Do not play, eat!”

After serving the meal and sitting down to eat, Lao Zhou said, “Your friend is back.”

Wu Dafeng didn’t react for a moment, “Who is my good friend?”

Lao Zhou: “Huai Ming’s daughter-in-law, who else could it be?”

Hearing this, Wu Dafeng’s eyes instantly widened, “Zhen Zhen is back?”

Old Zhou let out a hmmm, “Huai Ming took time off work to bring her back, what do you expect if she doesn’t come back?”

Wu Dafeng then said, “Yes, if you go back, you’ll be inviting back the Great Buddha. But she and I are not what good friends, she and I can not say anything early, now are with Li Shuang close. You see what she was brought by Li Shuang ah, I suspect that she is angry to run back to the countryside, are Li Shuang flirted with.”

Lao Zhou said: “You do not mess with these things on the line.”

Wu Dafeng: “I know in my heart.”

***

Serving Huai Ming returned from the cafeteria after a good meal, Zhen Zhen had not yet freshened up.

He waited outside for a while for Zhen Zhen to freshen up and came out to eat with Zhen Zhen.

While eating he told Zhen Zhen, “After rushing for so long, you can rest and rest again after eating.”

“Okay.” The train was noisy and sleeping wasn’t very comfortable, Zhen Zhen did feel rather tired.

After answering her question, she asked Servant Huai Ming, “Do you still have to go to class in the afternoon?”

Servant Huai Ming nodded, “After taking such a long vacation, I need to make up for the missing classes as soon as possible.”

After saying these few words, the two of them silently came down to eat.

After eating for a while, Servant Huai Ming looked at Zhen Zhen again, as if he had something to say.

Zhen Zhen felt his gaze and wondered what he meant again, hesitating for a moment and asking, “What’s wrong again?”

Serving Huai Ming cleared his throat, for a moment smoothing his tone out, “Want …… to move in together?”

Before it was his advocate of sleeping separately, resulting in him and Zhen Zhen couple is not a husband and wife, now since the discussion to start over, naturally all aspects should be renegotiated, seriously as a husband and wife place.

Zhen Zhen suddenly froze when she heard this, and even lightly choked on the rice particles.

Then she also gently cleared her throat, lowered her head and said, “It’s better not to move for the time being, at the current stage my most important thing is to study, I can’t be distracted, moving in together might affect my study progress.”

Servant Huai Ming: “……”

How does this sound partially familiar.

For a moment he said, “Studying can be done slowly, there’s no rush anyway.”

Now he had chosen clearly, life was life and work was work, they were different. He couldn’t apply the same set of rules from work to life, otherwise it would make everyone with him tired.

Zhen Zhen, however, raised her head to look at him and said seriously, “Of course you can’t, since you’ve decided to do it, you have to do your best without any distractions, how can you be so perfunctory and sloppy and not serious?”

Serving Huai Ming: “……”

Well, this sounds even more familiar ……

***

Long time rushing body tired.

The weather is hot and sleepy after eating.

So Zhen Zhen went back to the house to sleep after eating.

Serving Huai Ming freshened up and also went back to the house to rest a little.

But he didn’t sleep much and got up at the right time to go to class.

Zhen Zhen slept so deeply in bed that she didn’t know when Shui Huaiming left.

She slept for about two more hours after he left, and then she was woken up by a knock on the door.

Zhen Zhen was woken up and sat up from the bed, woke up for a while nap to the door to open the door.

Seeing Wu Dafeng standing outside the door, Zhen Zhen endured a yawn and smiled as she called out, “Sister-in-law.”

Wu Dafeng also smiled and said, “I heard you were back, so I came over to see you.”

She was carrying a basket of vegetables in her hand, filled with vegetables, red chili peppers and tomatoes, green cucumbers and leeks …….

Zhen Zhen let Wu Dafeng into the house and went into the kitchen to get a water bottle to pour water for her, “I was so tired from the rush that I went to bed after dinner when I arrived home, so I didn’t have time to go and say hello to you, sister-in-law.”

Wu Dafeng put the vegetable basket on the floor, “I didn’t disturb your sleep, did I?”

Zhen Zhen carried the bowl and put it on the table, “Just about got to sleep.”

After saying that, she glanced at the basket of vegetables on the floor and added, “Sister-in-law, you don’t need to bring anything here.”

Wu Dafeng sat down and said, “It’s all from our own vegetables, it’s not worth much, so what’s the point of being polite.”

Seeing Wu Dafeng sitting down, Zhen Zhen naturally followed suit.

Wu Dafeng picked up the water bowl and drank some water, put down the water bowl and looked at Zhen Zhen and said: “I am also stupid, that morning I came to find you to borrow the old noodles, but really believed what you said was smoked by the stove.”

Said gossip up, “Zhen Zhen, you were in the end what happened? I was so angry that I went back to the countryside.”

Serving Huai Ming to Zhen Zhen angry ran away this courtyard most people know, but no one knows Serving Huai Ming and Zhen Zhen between what happened. Only Li Shuang knew about it, but Li Shuang didn’t tell anyone in the courtyard about it.

Wu Dafeng is the most want to know the inside story, these days the heart can be itching to die.

Now that Zhen Zhen is back, she naturally came over to ask Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen also knows that if some things are known to Wu Dafeng, everyone else will know.

The thing between her and Shui Huai Ming, she has never told Wu Dafeng to know, Wu Dafeng himself did not find out, so now she is still smiling perfunctorily said: “Sister-in-law, no big deal, just a quarrel.”

Wu Dafeng still asked, “He hit you?”

Zhen Zhen shook her head, “That’s not true, it was just a fight, nothing more.”

Wu Da Feng continued to ask, “Then why did you quarrel? Was it because you never got pregnant?”

Zhen Zhen still smiled and shook her head, “No.”

After thinking about it she said something she could say, “It’s because he gave me homework before he went on the pullout and I didn’t finish it.”

Wu Dafeng’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Ah?”

However, thinking about how Servant Huai Ming had been in charge of Zhen Zhen’s studies, it made sense.

Wu Dafeng put away the expression on her face and said, “This is just a little thing, he has been in charge of you this, you and he argued a few times I think it is appropriate, let him know your strength, but run back to the countryside this is a bit too much, is your wrong. If I had known that day, I would have persuaded you. Fortunately, he went back to find you, you say if he does not go back to find you, you can do ah?”

Zhen Zhen said, “Then I will stay in the countryside.”

Wu Dafeng: “The hard life in the countryside is not as comfortable as the life in the city. Don’t go to the countryside whenever you are in trouble, it’s not good. If you make the whole school laugh, where will your man’s face go? A woman should know how to save her man’s face. And ah, sister-in-law advised you or less with Li Shuang hang out, she can not teach you what good. Now that you’re back, don’t toss and turn, and hurry up to have a child in peace.”

Speaking of having a child, she asked Zhen Zhen, “Did you go to the hospital to check your health before? Why can’t you get pregnant? This is something you need to be concerned about, if there are any problems, the hospitals in the big cities should be able to treat them.”

Zhen Zhen smiled a little dry, “Sister-in-law, I have no problem, I just don’t want to give birth for the time being.”

Wu Dafeng did not understand, “Why?”

What kind of woman doesn’t want to have children once she gets married?

If you want to have more children, especially sons, that’s the only way you can do it.

Zhen Zhen looked at Wu Dafeng and hesitated for a moment, “Sister-in-law, I have my own plans, so don’t worry about it.”

Wu Dafeng naturally understood the tone of the words, the meaning of these words is to let her do not care about her business.

What a good heart for a donkey’s liver and lungs, the expression on Wu Dafeng’s face was instantly unnatural.

However, she didn’t show her unhappiness, and only added: “Okay, okay, okay, you have your own plans, I’ve always been a worrywart, and I can’t get rid of this problem.”

Two words so say, the atmosphere is a little awkward up.

Wu Dafeng originally had a lot of things to say to Zhen Zhen, but now the rest of the sentence can not say out.

If she couldn’t say it, then she didn’t say it, and she and Zhen Zhen talked about a few more unimportant things.

When she was almost done, she stood up and said, “Zhen Zhen, I have things to do at home, I’m going home.”

She hadn’t had a head-on conflict with Zhen Zhen, and she didn’t want to offend Zhen Zhen, so she still looked after decency.

The vegetables in the basket were the ones she sent over to Zhen Zhen, so naturally she didn’t take them back and left them all behind.

Zhen Zhen didn’t have the courtesy to stay and talk to her, stay and always can’t talk to each other, strange torture, so she sent Wu Dafeng to the door and said: “Sister-in-law, I’ll make some leek boxes later, send some to you.”

Wu Dafeng said: “No, so little you eat it yourself.”

Watching Wu Dafeng leave, Zhen Zhen closed the door and came back, silently sighing with relief.

After chatting with Wu Dafeng for a while, the drowsiness had all but disappeared, so she didn’t go back to sleep.

She found something easy to light a fire in the house and went to the kitchen to light up the stove.

After lighting the stove and boiling water, Zhen Zhen made some noodles.

After kneading the dough into a ball and putting it aside for a while, she took the leeks sent by Wu Dafeng and cleaned them up a bit.

After the leeks were cleaned and washed, she cut them into pieces, and then washed a handful of cowpeas and cut them into pieces as well.

Take three eggs and scramble them, also chopped into pieces, and then put them together with oil and salt ingredients and mix.

When the filling is ready, knead the dough and roll it out long enough to form a dessert.

Knead the dough and roll it out, put the filling on the dough and wrap it into a leek box.

When the dough and filling are finished, heat a pan and brush the bottom of the pan with oil.

Leek box into the pan cooking, keep turning, cooking until golden and fragrant, also one by one out of the pan.

Golden leek box next to each other in rows, just look very appetizing.

Do leek box cook a little porridge, it is already evening.

Zhen Zhen took a large plate loaded with six leek boxes, first sent to Wu Dafeng home.

After delivering to Wu Dafeng’s house, Zhen Zhen came back and loaded up three more, and delivered them to Li Shuang’s house next door.

Li Shuang smelled the aroma of leek boxes, smiled and said: “You’re back, we have a good taste again.”

Zhen Zhen also smiled and said, “It’s good that you like to eat, sister-in-law.”

She realizes something and asks again, “How come we haven’t even seen Zi Ran?”

Li Shuang told her, “It’s not vacation, He Shuo sent him to her grandmother’s house.”

Just casually asking, Zhen Zhen nodded, “Oh.”

Not long after Zhen Zhen returned home from delivering the leek boxes, Shi Huai Ming returned from class.

Listening to the sound of Mr. Huai Ming opening the door, when he pushed the door in, Zhen Zhen greeted him with, “You’re back.”

The familiar scene resurfaced.

Servant Huai Ming stood by the door and smiled slightly, answering with a cry and lifting his hand to hang up his hat.

This scene of someone waiting at home, the smell of food and the smell of fireworks made him feel warm and steady in his heart.

The two people washed their hands at the table and sat down to eat.

Zhen Zhen reached out and pushed the leek box in front of Shi Huai Ming, “You first taste a bite and see.”

Shi Huaoming cooperated by using his chopsticks to pick up the leek box and took a bite, then nodded at Zhen Zhen, “Delicious.”

Zhen Zhen smiled happily and also picked up the leek box and lowered her head to drink congee and eat.

Servant Huai Ming sat on the opposite side of the table and looked at her, there was also a smile in his eyes.

Zhen Zhen raised her head and met his gaze, saw the light smile in his eyes, unconsciously her heart skipped a beat, she raised her hand and waved it in front of him, “Don’t look at me like that.”

Seeing her like this, Servant Huai Ming withdrew his gaze and didn’t look at her like this anymore.

After eating a whole leek box, he asked Zhen Zhen, “What do you want to do after dinner?”

Zhen Zhen said without hesitation, “Of course it’s to study, my current level is still too poor.”

Servant Huai Ming said, “Being able to read a whole book by yourself is already very good.”

Zhen Zhen: “I still want to learn more.”

Squire Huai Ming nodded at her, “Good, then we’ll study.”

***

After eating, Zhen Zhen went to Squire Huai Ming’s room to sit down and study as before.

Servant Huai Ming taught her some new content first, and then it was time for her own self-study.

As Zhen Zhen buried her head in self-study, Servant Huai Ming watched her from the side, unconsciously falling into deep thought.

It seems that she really likes studying now, and her eyes and heart are all about studying.

I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad.

Although Shui Huaiming didn’t ask her to do so, Zhen Zhen still followed the previous schedule, and after studying for the required amount of time, she closed her book and workbook, put up her pen, and got up ready to go back to wash up and go to bed.

When she got up and was ready to leave, Servant Huai Ming suddenly called out to her and asked, “Leaving?”

Zhen Zhen turned her head to look at him and said with her usual expression, “Yes, is there anything else?”

Servant Huai Ming slightly screened his breath and looked at her for a moment.

Enduring it, he uttered, “Good night then.”

Quite foreign.

Zhen Zhen smiled at him and returned, “Good night to you too.”

With that she left immediately.

Returning to her room and closing the door, she raised her hand to cover her face and let out a long breath.

She was really afraid just now that Servant Huai Ming would pull her there and not let her come back.

***

After washing up and lying on the bed, Servant Huai Ming put his arm under his head and looked at the beams of the room out of his mind.

He suddenly felt deeply that his future days would become increasingly difficult.

Before he made his intentions clear, he was still able to control himself and adjust himself.

Now it was a living torment, as if he was lying in a blazing fire, being fried over and over again.

I really did not expect that he would actually have such a day.

Really, if I had known this, why did I bother to do it in the first place.

***

Zhen Zhen slept soundly all night.

In the morning, she got up, she took advantage of the brain awake to memorize the back of the book.

After memorizing, she took the food stamps and went to the cafeteria to eat.

When she went out and ran into Li Shuang, Li Shuang smiled and said to her, “You came back this time, you feel different from before.”

Zhen Zhen also smiled and asked, “Where is it different?”

Li Shuang said, “The whole state of the person is relaxed and more energetic.”

Jen felt herself, “It is more relaxed than when I was here before.”

The two made small talk side by side for a few moments.

Li Shuang added to Zhen Zhen, “Wen heard you’re back and is planning to ask you out for dinner on Sunday.”

At the mention of Shizuku, Zhen Zhen froze for a moment, then said, “Did I miss her wedding?”

Li Shuang nodded, “It was already done, just a simple dinner.”

Quite regretful, Zhen Zhen thought about it and said, “Then let’s have a meal alone on Sunday.”

Li Shuang: “Sure, just waiting for you to come back.”

***

Since it still hurt to walk on her feet, Jen didn’t go out and fool around.

For the next two days, she spent most of the time studying at home, the furthest place she went was the school cafeteria, and then in the evening when the sun went down, she would accompany Big White to play outside the house for a while.

Of all the people in this yard, Big White liked playing with her the most.

After spending so much time together, Dabai also listened to her, like a child who knows what he’s doing.

On Saturday evening, Zhen Zhen made dinner and came out to play with Dabai for a while.

While she was having fun, Shi Huai Ming and He Shuo came back together.

They came closer.

Before Shi Huai Ming could say anything, He Shuo smiled and asked Zhen Zhen, “Does it listen to you now?”

Zhen Zhen turned her head to look at He Shuo, “Yes, it understands everything.”

He Shuo said, “Then you perform one for me.”

Zhen Zhen didn’t refuse, clearing her throat and looking directly at Big White, “Sit down.”

Hearing Zhen Zhen’s command, Big White sat down obediently with his tongue hanging out, and then even tilted his head a bit in a good-natured manner.

He Shuo couldn’t help but laugh as he watched, and said to Shi Huai Ming, “Why didn’t I realize this dog was so interesting before?”

Shi Huai Ming said back to him, “Of course it’s because he didn’t like you and didn’t let you realize it.”

He Shuo: “……”

Not in front of his wife definitely want to kick him.

Zhen Zhen didn’t care what they were saying and continued to talk to Big White, “Lie down.”

Big White heard the instruction to nimbly lie down on the ground, still with the same expression of cute and obedient.

Zhen Zhen: “Stand up.”

Big White immediately straightened his legs and stood up.

Zhen Zhen: “Spin around.”

Big White chases his tail and spins around madly, instantly turning into a propeller.

Seeing Big White being so funny, He Shuo couldn’t stop laughing.

After laughing, he says to Zhen Zhen, “It’s okay, this dog recognizes you as its master.”

With that said, Servant Huai Ming didn’t let Zhen Zhen pay attention to He Shuo anymore and took Zhen Zhen home for dinner.

Dabai finished his performance and followed Zhen Zhen into the house, the meal was at Zhen Zhen’s home to dilly-dally.

After the meal, Dabai went out to play on his own, while Zhen Zhen went to her room with Shih Huaiming to sit down and study.

Naturally, he helped Zhen Zhen consolidate the old content and taught her the new content as usual.

But today, while teaching Zhen Zhen the new content, Zhen Zhen was distracted a few times.

At first, he didn’t take it seriously, but after realizing it, he paid attention to Zhen Zhen and watched her for a while.

After observing for a while he realized why.

Today there was a movie on the school playground, and now that it was dark, the movie started and the sound came through.

Zhen Zhen herself did not say.

Squire Huai Ming looked at her for a while longer, suddenly closed the book in his hand, and took down the pencil in Zhen Zhen’s hand.

Zhen Zhen didn’t know what he was up to and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong?”

Servant Huai Ming got up and said, “Take the night off and let’s go watch a movie.”

Before Zhen Zhen could return to her senses, she was pulled up and pulled out by him.

She did quite want to see a movie, after coming to the city, she hadn’t gone once.

With Servant Huai Ming now pulling her over, she was naturally looking forward and excited in her heart.

But when she arrived at the playground, the excitement in her heart instantly died down a little.

Because they came out a little late, and a lot of people to see the movie is not dark to occupy the position, so the movie curtain in front of the full of people, a great number of people can not see the movie curtain.

Zhen Zhen followed the service Huai Ming to the back of the crowd.

The people standing in front of her were taller than her, so she couldn’t see much even if she stood on her tiptoes.

But she still wanted to see it, so she stood on her tiptoes again and stretched her head upwards.

Then just as she reached the highest point on her tiptoes, her body suddenly rose up in the air.

Caught off guard, she was startled and her eyes opened with a full face of shock.

Before the shock wore off, she realized that it was Servant Huai Ming who had picked her up.

He easily lifted her up with just one arm, and then let her sit on his right shoulder and flat arm.

This was outside, so many people.

Jen couldn’t help but blush nervously, her heart beating so fast she couldn’t keep it down.

She wanted to get down, but she was afraid that speaking would cause the people in front to turn around and look at her, so she gently patted the back of Shui Huai Ming’s hand with her hand, signaling him to let her down.

Squire Huai Ming, however, didn’t respond and spoke to her, “Watch in peace.”

Zhen Zhen watched as he didn’t let go, and the little man in her own heart fought for a while, then she held her breath and sat back down.

She was afraid that others would turn their heads and see her, and she herself was really embarrassed, so she quietly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and covered half of her face with it.

Behind the crowds, in the deep darkness of the night, Zhen Zhen sat on the shoulder of Serving Huai Ming.

Red cheeks covered in white light handkerchief, eyes fell on the movie curtain, flickering fine light.

The heart was sweet.
