Chapter 14

Looking at the brand new sheets on the bed, He Shaochuan naturally had no reason to sleep in separate rooms anymore.

“I understand.” He Shaochuan replied briefly.

Turned around and walked out of Ning He’s room.

Ning He was surprised again. He said he knew. What did he mean?

Now that he knew that, what was he going to do outside?

Ning He opened the door a little bit with confusion.

Her room was right next to Qianlin’s small room, and she could hear the conversation in the small room clearly.

“Qianlin, from today on, you will have to sleep in your own room.” He Shaochuan sat next to Qianlin and spoke to him very patiently.

Qianlin was very smart and guessed something right away.

He tilted his head and asked, “Daddy, are you going to sleep with Mommy?”

He Shaochuan was stunned, as if he had not expected that a three-year-old child would understand so much.

Looking at He Shaochuan’s surprised expression, Qian Lin smiled. It was indeed the case.

He stood up, his small figure not even reaching the man’s thighs, but he still reached out and pushed He Shaochuan towards the door.

“Then please come over soon, Dad! I’ve been wanting to sleep alone for a long time!”

Through the crack in the door, Ning He could clearly hear the conversation between the father and son. Even she couldn’t help but sigh that her good son was so lovable and pitiful.

Soon He Shaochuan was driven out of the small room by Qian Lin, and Ning He hurriedly sat back on the bed.

Not long after, the door was opened from the outside.

A tall figure came in.

He Shaochuan looked at the woman on the bed: “I have already made an agreement with Qianlin.”

Ning He nodded, pretending to be unaware. She got into bed, turned sideways and turned off the light switch.

“Then go to sleep!”

In this era, there is no nightlife at night, and it is normal to go to bed as soon as it gets dark.

Ning He had never had any nightlife. To her, the nights of this era were no different from the nights she spent in the hospital in her later life.

I close my eyes and go to sleep as soon as it gets dark, if there is any difference.

That is whether you sleep soundly or not.

Suddenly the whole room was dark. He Shaochuan looked at the slightly raised back on the bed. He took off his outer clothes, leaving only a work vest and a pair of loose shorts.

Ning He was lying in bed with her back to He Shaochuan. She opened her big dark eyes, not daring to sleep, her heart pounding.

Until I felt a corner of the quilt being lifted up, and then the bed creaked and sank.

Ning He’s heart beat faster.

She had never slept in the same bed with a man, let alone shared the same quilt.

If you ask Ning He what the feeling is, he only has one feeling.

That’s hot!

It was summer and already very hot, but there was a big stove sleeping next to him, and the heat from the man’s body drifted to Ning He.

Ning He suddenly felt a little regretful. It would be so nice to sleep alone. If he had known, he would not have let him move back.

But on second thought, if He Shaochuan didn’t move back, Qianlin would have to bear the brunt of this. After thinking about it, she was Qianlin’s mother, so she should bear the brunt of this.

But with such a big stove next to him, Ning He couldn’t fall asleep at all.

She began to think about what to do tomorrow.

In order to make a set of clothes for Qianlin, Ning He thought of the sewing machine placed in the corner of the main room.

“Um, can I use the sewing machine in the main room?”

As soon as He Shaochuan closed his eyes, he heard the faint voice of a woman beside him.

He opened his eyes and looked at the dark surroundings, his expression becoming clearer.

“Do you want to use it?” He Shaochuan turned his head and looked at the back of the woman’s head in the dark.

Ning He also turned around, and in the darkness, two burning gazes intertwined.

Ning He was stunned. She didn’t expect He Shaochuan had been staring at her.

My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I could see the man in front of me more clearly.

He took off his military uniform, leaving only a tank top underneath, exposing the bulging muscles on both ends of his arms and his wheat-colored panels, which created a sharp contrast under the white tank top.

Ning He came back to her senses and quickly looked away: “Lin Bao’s clothes are either too small or torn. I want to make him some clothes.”

This surprised He Shaochuan: “Can you make clothes?”

Ning He knew that she had revealed too much today and could not let He Shaochuan doubt her anymore.

She said, “No, but I can ask Sister Zhao Lan to teach me.”

He Shaochuan looked a little relieved. Ning He had already learned how to make dumplings with Sister Zhao today. Tomorrow she would learn how to make clothes with Sister Zhao. What about the day after tomorrow? What would she learn?

He Shaochuan believed that Ning He wanted to change, but he didn’t want Ning He to change so deliberately.

“I’ll give you fifty dollars tomorrow. You can take Qianlin and buy some clothes. The sewing machine in the main room was left by the couple who lived here before. It should be usable, but you’d better not use it since you haven’t used it before. It will hurt your hands if you get them pierced.”

Ning He felt a little dazed after hearing what the man said. Was this man caring about her?

But what He Shaochuan didn’t know was that the sewing machine was something Ning He was extremely familiar with.

It is normal to get injured when you first start using a sewing machine, not to mention that Ning He is a veteran, so how could he get injured?

But since He Shaochuan offered to give her fifty yuan, there was no reason for Ning He to refuse it.

It’s really a pleasure to get money for free.

Ning He nodded without saying anything and said, “Okay, then I’ll take Qianlin to buy clothes tomorrow. Do you want to buy anything?”

Ning He still asked He Shaochuan with concern.

“No, I don’t need it.”

Ning He curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction: “Okay, let’s go to sleep!”

Soon Ning He closed her eyes, and He Shaochuan stared at Ning He for a long time.

Tonight, he and Ning He truly slept in the same bed.

It was a strange feeling, but strangely, yet relaxing.

Ning He seems to have really changed. Does she want to live a good life with me?

He Shaochuan didn’t know, but this time, he was willing to believe Ning He.

Soon, He Shaochuan also fell asleep.

The man who originally had difficulty falling asleep fell asleep peacefully beside Ning He.

There were no alarm clocks in that era, and in the military compound, people had to rely on the sound of bugles to get up.

But Ning He had already stood up before the horn sounded.

Don’t ask her why, just ask her the familiar and regular biological clock in her later life.

Daily life in the hospital requires getting up early for everything, including nurses making ward rounds, doctors making ward rounds, and doing examinations.

Ning He’s biological clock was formed at that time.

She woke up before six o’clock.

Having nothing to do, she got up and prepared to make breakfast for He Shaochuan and Qianlin.

I have eaten all the dumplings I made last night. I get tired of eating dumplings all the time.

Ning He thought about it and came up with an idea.

She can use oil residue to make dumplings, as ordinary big dumplings are not easy to cook.

Ninghe plans to make small thumb-sized fried buns.

Adding the greasy residue was not enough, so she cut a piece of lean pork, mixed the lean meat with the greasy residue into minced meat, and then added salt, chopped green onions, and soy sauce.

Pour the onion and ginger water into the minced meat in three batches, stirring as you pour.

Finally, roll out the dumpling wrappers, put in the meat filling, and shape into small buns.
