Chapter 43

“I’m sorry, I made a mistake again.”

Shen Xiao had never been so embarrassed in his life.

He made mistakes in front of Qiao Baozhu time and time again. If you think about it carefully, he had never suffered such a miserable fate in all his years of marching and fighting.

A man who has been strong all his life had his face shattered in front of his wife.

“What’s the big deal? I didn’t tell you in advance. Besides, these good things can’t be bought with money. Others are so happy that they can’t wait to see it.”

“As long as you don’t blame me for not being appreciative.”

It’s enough to hit him once. If you keep talking about it, Shen Xiao might become rebellious.

Today, it was because Bai Hongmei was causing trouble and Shen Xiao felt guilty about her that Qiao Baozhu took advantage of him.

Shen Xiao became a battalion commander at a young age, and he earned it through hard work. She was not stupid enough to think that Shen Xiao was a good-tempered person who could be manipulated by others.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you about everything at home from now on.”

Shen Xiao’s face flushed with embarrassment, and the tips of his ears felt burning hot. If there was a rat hole in this house, he would want to crawl into it and never come out for the rest of his life.

“Well, I have some things to do in the camp, so I have to come back late tonight. Here, this is my passbook. I give it to you.”

Shen Xiao took out the passbook and gave it to Qiao Baozhu, then ran away without looking back.

Qiao Baozhu also noticed Shen Xiao’s embarrassment, but she didn’t expose him and took the passbook silently.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qiao Baozhu stretched her neck to look at Shen Xiao’s back as he hurried away.

The way he walked out with big strides looked as if there were wolves chasing him from behind.

“call……”

“Finally I left. If I hadn’t left, my toes would have cramped.”

Qiao Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, not to mention that Shen Xiao was uncomfortable, she was also extremely embarrassed.

Since you have chosen to live together, you must set some rules. It’s better to say the ugly things upfront so that you won’t be at a loss as to what to do if conflicts arise in the future.

Qiao Baozhu felt that she was very lucky in her life, at least Shen Xiao was a person who could listen to her. He is not self-deprecating or arrogant and knows how to respect others. Being a colleague with such a person gives you a high degree of freedom.

In short, so far, Qiao Baozhu is quite satisfied with Shen Xiao.

Qiao Baozhu opened Shen Xiao’s passbook and was shocked when she saw the deposit.

“One, ten, hundred, thousand…”

There are more than 2,300 yuan in the passbook. Based on Qiao Baozhu’s current salary, she would have to go without food and drink for six years to save that much.

But Shen Xiao shouldn’t do that, his annual salary is only nearly a thousand yuan. He doesn’t spend any money on food or drink, so where does the money go?

Qiao Baozhu threw the passbook onto the table in disgust, and knitted under the kerosene lamp until she felt dizzy, but she still didn’t finish the trousers.

“I haven’t knitted a sweater in many years, so my hands are not used to it. I guess I won’t be able to take it home tomorrow.”

Qiao Baozhu sighed helplessly, feeling very annoyed at her low work efficiency. There’s no point in just worrying. I have no time to knit during the day because I’m busy with other things, and the dim light at night affects my progress.

There was no electricity in the family compound, and the kerosene lamps in the house were lit. The smell was strong and the light was dim and irritating to the eyes.

I can’t ruin my eyes just to give my adoptive father a surprise.

Qiao Baozhu had no problem wasting time, so she threw away the half-knitted woolen trousers, got up from the kang, brushed her teeth and washed her face.

When I went out to get some water, I was hesitating whether to leave the door open for Shen Xiao when I saw a shadowy figure walking towards me outside.

Qiao Baozhu hurried back to the room, kicked off her shoes, got into bed, buried her face in the quilt and pretended to sleep.

Shen Xiao had good eyesight and saw Qiao Baozhu going out to get water from a distance. After entering the room, I found that she had not removed the kang table.

On the kang table was a kerosene lamp set to the lowest brightness, a glass half filled with water, and a pair of half-knitted woolen trousers.

A brand new quilt was spread on the left side of the kang table, while Qiao Baozhu was sleeping on the right side of the table with her back to him.

Shen Xiao knew exactly what she meant.

He turned around and went outside, quickly washed up, and then tiptoed onto the kang.

Qiao Baozhu kept her eyes closed and listened calmly to the noise outside.

As a well-known pewter spearhead in Qingyan Mountain, Qiao Baozhu didn’t believe that Shen Xiao could do anything to her. I’m afraid that he is a strong-willed person and will do some torturous things to her in order to prove that he is capable.

Just like Zhao Haiyang in his previous life, after she secretly fed him estradiol for a year, he completely lost certain functions. Whenever he has time, he tortures those young and beautiful girls who are trying to get ahead. There are so many tricks and such cruel methods that even the Minister of Justice has to call him “senior” when he comes.

Qiao Baozhu was worried that Shen Xiao would do the same thing, so she was always on guard against him.

Only when she heard snoring from next door did Qiao Baozhu fall asleep peacefully.

But she didn’t know that at the other end of the kang table, Shen Xiao, who was snoring loudly, had his eyes open.

Hearing Qiao Baozhu’s even breathing, Shen Xiao turned over and quietly looked at the petite figure through the gap in the kang table.

A head of soft black silk draped over the shoulders. Even with a quilt covering her body, her curvy figure can still be seen. A faint scent of osmanthus drifted into his nostrils.

That’s the smell of Qiao Baozhu…

Qiao Baozhu was awakened by the crowing of a rooster from the neighboring house.

It wasn’t that she had to get up early, but the rooster was too annoying. It actually flew to her window and kept crowing.

“So annoying, whose rooster is this?”

Qiao Baozhu irritably lifted the quilt, ready to find something to throw at the annoying rooster to drive it running around.

I saw a tall figure outside the curtain grabbing the annoying rooster by the neck.

The rooster was strangled by the throat, and the world was at peace.

“Just sleep peacefully, it won’t bark again.”

Shen Xiao’s deep and magnetic voice made Qiao Baozhu feel extremely safe. She didn’t hesitate, turned over, rubbed her body against the pillow, adjusted herself to a comfortable position, and had another sound sleep.

The second time she was awakened by the strong smell of rice.

“Are you awake?”

Shen Xiao walked into the room carrying a large bowl of chicken noodle soup and saw Qiao Baozhu, who was half asleep, staring around with her eyes wide open.

“What did you make that smells so good?”

Qiao Baozhu was still asleep when her stomach started to growl. She sat up suddenly when she smelled the fragrance wafting from the kang table.

Her long black satin hair fell on her shoulders, and the quilt covering her body slid down onto her legs. The thin and tight red autumn outfit shows off her sexy and proud figure.

Shen Xiao turned his face away unnaturally, his Adam’s apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse, which he himself did not even notice.

“There’s still some firewood outside that hasn’t been chopped.”

Without waiting for Qiao Baozhu to speak, he hurried out again.

Qiao Baozhu looked at Shen Xiao walking out of the house with a puzzled look on her face and blinked blankly.

“You’re walking so fast, are you being chased by a wolf? It’s weird…”

It wasn’t until she felt a little cold and lowered her head that she discovered it. The V-neck of this tight autumn dress is wide open, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white…
