Chapter 73 : It is impossible for him to endure it forever

Somehow, Liu Hong’s words spread throughout the family compound.

Those who had already learned how to braise pig’s large intestine and successfully improved their meals were immediately unhappy.

It’s your choice if you, Liu Hong, don’t want to eat it. But isn’t it obvious that you’re just trying to annoy them by saying that?

However, she is the wife of the second-in-command, so no one dared to speak up directly. Instead, more and more people began passing by her house with braised pig’s large intestines during mealtime.

The children of the Yan family were crying because of their cravings, and even Yan Yixing was affected.

Liu Hong was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

Su Ranran hadn’t expected that a dish of braised pig’s large intestine would cause such a big reaction.

It wasn’t until a few days later that no one came to ask for her advice anymore.

Early one morning, before the camp horn sounded, Su Ranran woke up from her dream.

When she opened her eyes, she happened to see Shen He walking in from outside with a damp body.

Su Ranran:…

How many times has this happened?

At first, Su Ranran didn’t understand why Shen He always took a shower in the morning. It wasn’t until that day when the kiss almost got out of control that she realized the man’s desires were growing stronger day by day.

Every night when she went to bed, Su Ranran felt like she was being held by a stove.

Looking at Shen He, who was still wet, she felt a little uncomfortable.

As a normal adult man, it was natural for him to have needs. But so far, they hadn’t had a normal experience.

“Why are you up so early?”

Shen He wiped his hair with a towel and walked towards the bed.

In the dim light, his wet hair stood up like pine needles. Water drops on his temples, which hadn’t been wiped away, ran down his jawline and onto his slender neck.

At this moment, he was wearing a tank top, and his smooth muscles bulged as he moved.

A masculine scent filled the air as he approached, and Su Ranran felt a little dizzy.

Biting her lip, she said, “I can’t sleep. When are you going to the military camp?”

“Half an hour.”

He always woke up early, and since his wife had asked him to hold her while sleeping, he got up even earlier.

The sweet, soft little woman lay obediently in his arms. As a normal man, how could Shen He not react?

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, he was unwilling to give up this comfort.

In the end, he had to get up early every day to take a cold shower.

Half an hour…

“What’s wrong?”

Shen He had already sat down on the bed. Seeing her blushing face, he thought she was unwell, so he reached out and touched her forehead.

The large hand on her forehead was dry and rough, and the thick calluses on his fingers were the marks left by years of training.

Su Ranran’s heart beat wildly. But the shameful words came to her lips, “How do I apply for that land?”

Although it was saline-alkali land, it belonged to the army, and she had to write a report to apply for it.

But that wasn’t exactly what she wanted to say…

Shen He didn’t notice anything strange. He was relieved when he saw that her forehead wasn’t warm.

“I’ll apply for it.”

After that, Shen He kissed her forehead and said, “You sleep a little longer, it’s still early.”

The kiss on her forehead was gentle and restrained, just like what he did every night these days.

It was clearly uncomfortable for him, but he never went any further, not even kissing her like he did last time.

Su Ranran then realized just how strong her man’s self-control was.

Shen He pulled the quilt over her, opened the closet, and changed into his military uniform.

Looking at the man who was initially wearing only a vest, and now was once again putting on a neat military uniform, Su Ranran couldn’t take her eyes off him.

The thoughts she hadn’t voiced just moments ago became stronger and stronger.

“Is there anything else?”

After changing clothes, Shen He met her hesitant gaze.

Facing his serious face, the words in her mouth were swallowed again, and Su Ranran shook her head.

“Then I’ll go out first, and I’ll make you breakfast later.”

Shen He didn’t stay in the room for long.

Su Ranran watched his broad-shouldered, long-legged back, and her mind flashed back to the words she had privately asked the doctor.

She pinched the corner of the quilt with her hands, her face growing hotter and hotter, but her eyes seemed to have secretly made up their mind. Since she wanted a good life, she couldn’t keep holding back…

Not long after Shen He left, Su Ranran also got up.

When she went out and was about to wash up, she suddenly noticed grass sprouting in the once-bare yard.

The thin, small grass spread a layer of light green throughout the yard. The grass was so delicate it seemed like a breeze could blow it up by its roots.

But Su Ranran was very surprised.

In her previous life, she had tried planting grass in the yard in Pingzhou, but the survival rate was always very low.

She had even brought soil back from the land to plant it.

Now, she had only casually scattered some grass seeds, yet almost all of them had survived. This showed just how strong the vitality of plants in her space was.

Even the fruit trees that she and Shen He had “crossed the open road” from the land during their last vacation had regained their vitality and sprouted some new buds.

The entire yard was full of life.

Su Ranran had just finished washing up when Zhong Juhua brought Lin Qiulian to visit her.

Xiaoya and Huihui followed behind them.

Xiaoya is Lin Qiulian’s little daughter, who is four years old this year, and Huihui is Zhong Juhua’s youngest son, who is also five years old.

The other older children had all been sent to school and would come home at noon or in the evening without needing to be picked up.

As soon as they entered, both adults and children were astonished by her yard.

“Ranran, how did you do it?”

It was clearly barren sand yesterday, but how had it turned green today? It looked like magic!

Huihui even rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that the grass in front of him was real, he said to Zhong Juhua with wide eyes “Mom, Auntie is a fairy sister, she can perform magic!”

Not long after, another military wife arrived.

Everyone was equally shocked.

You know, the fruit tree that Su Ranran had planted a few days ago was half dead, and they didn’t think it would survive. But now, not only had the tree sprouted, but even the grass seeds had sprouted.

You could imagine how this yard would look in a short while.

“Sister-in-law, you’re so amazing! I see the chrysanthemums you planted in Wanwan Base have sprouted too.”

They came just for this reason.

Yesterday, someone saw chrysanthemums sprouting in Wanwan Base, and everyone was stunned.

You know, except for some vegetables that are more tolerant to salt, most plants couldn’t survive here. Even if they barely survived, they were wilted.

But now, not only had someone grown chrysanthemums, but they were also thriving and green.

When everyone asked around, it turned out that it was Su Ranran, the new military wife, who had planted them.

Suddenly, many people came to ask her how she managed it.

Who would have thought that she was not only good at growing vegetables but could also grow fruit trees in this salty, sandy land?

How could this not shock people?

In just one day, the news that Su Ranran had not only grown chrysanthemums but also fruit trees in the sandy soil spread throughout the family compound!

The news even reached the army, and now the men in the entire army were excited.

In the future, they wouldn’t have to eat the same old sweet potato vines all the time?
