Chapter 28: Mom’s Fragrance

It was a sweltering summer day, and it was the hottest time of noon.

The young men in the unit were dragged by the regiment commander to the training ground and began to train miserably.

Some of them were dissatisfied and challenged Fu Cheng to a duel, but they were defeated miserably.

After training ended, the young men gathered together and whispered, “Our regiment commander is in a really bad mood today.”

“Right, I wonder who pissed him off.”

Fu Cheng usually had a calm temperament. He wasn’t the type to show his emotions.

He did everything quietly, striking decisively.

It was rare for him to show his displeasure so obviously today.

The regiment’s political commissar and other cadres also noticed something was wrong. When he entered the room, his aura was off.

He was cold, like he had just come out of an ice cellar.

Lu Chenyuan had just finished practicing shooting and was taking a shower in the dormitory. He heard the other cadres wondering what was wrong with Fu Cheng today.

He thought, how could he not know?

It must be Song Shengsheng’s fault.

When Fu Cheng saw him, he said, “Last time in Yangcheng, you helped me investigate Shen Zhishu. How is he?”

Lu Chenyuan said, “He seems pretty honest at school. He’s diligent, studious, frugal, and low-key. He doesn’t associate with the female students around him.”

But if Shen Zhishu was really so honest, he wouldn’t be maintaining an inappropriate relationship with Song Shengsheng, knowing that she was already married with a child.

Lu Chenyuan paused after speaking and asked casually, “Has your wife gotten together with him again?”

Fu Cheng didn’t respond. He pulled the corner of his lips coldly and said lightly, “Keep an eye on him for me. If he dares to come back from Yangcheng, break his legs for me.”

Lu Chenyuan hadn’t seen Fu Cheng so angry in years.

They were the children of cadres. They had indeed been a bit lawless when they were young. They had grown up and become more sensible, and they had learned to behave themselves. They wouldn’t be so reckless as they were when they were younger.

But to be honest, they weren’t afraid of anything.

Quietly taking care of someone wasn’t a difficult task.

“Understood.”

Lu Chenyuan thought silently, it must be that Song Shengsheng was behaving for a couple of days and then started to get out of control again.

Lu Chenyuan felt that he hadn’t misjudged her. He knew she wouldn’t be able to stay honest for long.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to change mountains, but hard to change one’s nature.

Song Shengsheng had no idea that Fu Cheng had left in a bad mood at noon. She had ordered all her favorite dishes at the canteen for lunch.

She ate everything.

After washing her lunchbox, she went back to the bedroom and took a nap.

When she woke up from her nap, Song Shengsheng opened the high school textbooks that Fu Cheng had brought back for her a few days ago. She guessed that the content should be similar to the exam content for the college entrance exam in a few years.

As long as she studied hard, she could also become a college student.

She would just ask Fu Cheng to teach her anything she didn’t understand.

Unknowingly, it was already evening, and her son would be out of school soon.

The children who went to school at the kindergarten in the compound didn’t need their parents to pick them up.

They could run home in a couple of steps, but some mischievous children could dawdle on the road for half a day.

Fu Luochi returned home and put away his schoolbag first.

Then he carefully went to the bedroom to find his mother. He didn’t dare to go in, so he stood at the door, his small hand holding the door frame, and called out softly, “Mom.”

Song Shengsheng turned around and saw her son. His jade-like face was flushed, his eyes were black and bright, reflecting her figure.

She walked over and squatted down, her eyes level with his. “Xiaochi, why are you out of school so early today?”

The boy nodded. He smelled his mother’s fragrance.

Fu Luochi loved his mother’s scent, but after he started kindergarten, his mother didn’t hug him much anymore.

His face was hot. After a while, he said politely, in a small voice, “Mom, I want to take a bath.”

He was sweating.

He felt uncomfortable.

Song Shengsheng looked at the child’s pink and white face, still a little sweaty.

She remembered that her son loved cleanliness and was a neat freak.

He probably couldn’t stand it.

There was a special bathhouse in the compound.

It was also convenient to take a bath.

Usually, Song Shengsheng was too tired and lazy to go to the bathhouse, so she would have Fu Cheng heat up water for her and make do with a bath at home.

She touched his soft hair. “Okay, we’ll try on the new clothes I made for you later.”

Song Shengsheng had just used this month’s cloth coupons to buy some fashionable fabrics for herself. She was good at tailoring. When she was a teenager, she also liked to tinker with pretty clothes.

Over time, she learned to make them herself.

Fu Luochi seemed very happy. “Mom, are they really for me?”

Song Shengsheng nodded. “Of course.”

It’s just that the clothes weren’t completely finished yet. She still had to hem them and see if they fit.

The introverted and shy boy couldn’t help but give his mother a big kiss on the face. It was only at such moments of great joy that his arrogance, like his father’s, would show.

Song Shengsheng took him to the bathhouse.

Fu Luochi went to the men’s bathhouse himself. He could already bathe himself.

The boy washed quickly. After taking a bath, he obediently waited for his mother at the entrance of the bathhouse with his things.

When Song Shengsheng came out of the bathhouse, she felt like her whole body was fragrant.

The soap she bought at the state-owned department store seemed to be even more fragrant.

As soon as she appeared, she attracted everyone’s attention.

The woman was white and thin, so white that she almost glowed, her skin was delicate and smooth, even if you looked closely, there wasn’t a single flaw.

She was truly blessed by heaven.

Song Shengsheng was used to being stared at. She held her son’s hand and went home.

Leaving behind whispers of admiration: “Regiment Commander Fu’s wife is quite a homemaker now.”

“It’s rare to see her take care of her child once.”

“But she’s so white, and her waist is so thin. She doesn’t have a tummy at all.”

Song Shengsheng couldn’t hear these voices. When she got home.

Fu Luochi was eagerly looking at her. “Mom, can I change now?”

The boy’s tail seemed to be wagging furiously behind him.

Song Shengsheng took the clothes out of the closet and put them on him.

The boy looked good in them.

But the sleeves needed to be adjusted.

Song Shengsheng asked him to take them off. Fu Luochi’s stubborn personality was beginning to show. He shook his head. “Mom, I want to wear them to sleep!”
