Chapter 120: I Can’t Disappoint the Chives and Egg My Wife Made

Seeing his wife’s sadness, Zhou Yubai racked his brain to tell her some funny stories to cheer her up.

But he started talking about missions and training, although he downplayed the hardships and bloodshed, Shen Chuning was empathetic.

She was still so heartbroken that she cried.

Later, Shen Zhengrong stopped Zhou Yubai, sharing funny stories with Shen Chuning, finally making her laugh again.

When talking about the art troupe’s performance, Shen Chuning looked at Shen Zhengrong with bright eyes, “Third Brother, you said you don’t have a girlfriend, do you have someone you like?”

Shen Zhengrong’s ears burned.

Fortunately, his dark skin hid his blush.

He cleared his throat, asking nervously, “Little sister, why did you ask?”

Shen Chuning sighed inwardly.

Lu Qiaoqing’s hopes were likely dashed.

She had noticed that when Third Brother mentioned the female soldiers in the art troupe, the name Ji Qianxue appeared frequently.

That was probably his sweetheart.

After dinner, Zhou Yubai took the initiative to wash the dishes, giving the siblings space to talk.

Shen Zhengrong put away his playful demeanor and seriously asked about Shen Zhengliang.

Shen Chuning told her brother everything about Second Brother.

Shen Zhengrong frowned, “Why is Second Brother so stubborn?”

Shen Chuning thought it wasn’t entirely Second Brother’s fault.

She had gone through a similar phase, obsessed with Chen Ziyun.

Everyone else, including her father and brothers, seemed unimportant.

She thought Second Brother was the same.

After discussing Shen Zhengliang, they couldn’t come up with a good solution, they could only take things one step at a time.

Zhou Yubai came out of the kitchen and saw Shen Zhengrong still there.

His sharp gaze fell on Shen Zhengrong, “Shen Zhengrong, since you’re not tired, go to the mountain to let your tired comrades rest?”

Shen Zhengrong yawned, “Tired… tired…”

“Little sister, I’m leaving! Rest early.” Shen Zhengrong said and ran away.

As soon as he left, Zhou Yubai carried Shen Chuning.

Shen Chuning wasn’t used to being carried, the sudden weightlessness made her exclaim.

She instinctively hugged the man’s neck.

Looking into his deep eyes.

Although they hadn’t spent much time together after marriage, their relationship was harmonious, Shen Chuning knew what the man meant.

Thinking of the intimate things the man had done to her in bed, her face blushed, she buried her head in his chest, softly saying, “Brother Yubai, I haven’t showered yet!”

The man lowered his head, his hot breath on her ear, “I’m taking you to shower, otherwise, what do you want to do with me now?”

A playful chuckle came from his ear.

Shen Chuning felt herself burning up.

This man was teasing her!

She was about to break free from his embrace when she felt his breath on her ear again, “Wife, don’t worry, I won’t disappoint the chives and egg you made.”

Shen Chuning was puzzled.

What about chives and eggs?

Why did he suddenly mention them?

Then she suddenly realized.

The aunts in the village often asked if someone had eaten chives the previous night.

Chives are an aphrodisiac!

She had forgotten about this!

Preparing dinner, she saw the chives and cut them, she was really…

That night, Shen Chuning didn’t know whether she suffered or enjoyed the chives and egg.

The next morning, the man left looking satisfied.

She was too sore to move.

Fortunately, it was a rest day, she didn’t need to go to work.

But she had made an appointment with her father and teacher, her father was taking the masons to build a new house for the teacher.

She only slept half an hour longer, struggling to get up, using spiritual spring water to soothe her soreness.

After recovering, she went to the educated youth point to find Lu Qiaoqing.

Lu Qiaoqing knew why she came.

She nervously pulled her aside, “Ningning, did you see your third brother? Did you ask him?”

Shen Chuning told Lu Qiaoqing what she had asked Third Brother last night.

Lu Qiaoqing was excited to hear that Shen Zhengrong only had someone he liked, not a girlfriend.

“Your third brother doesn’t have a girlfriend yet! I have a chance to compete with that girl from the art troupe.

Ningning, wait, I’ll get your third brother, I’ll be your third sister-in-law!”

Shen Chuning: …

She didn’t understand why Lu Qiaoqing was so excited.

Did she like competing with other women for a man?

She didn’t understand!

But as long as Lu Qiaoqing pursued her third brother openly, she didn’t mind.

Love was free, liking someone and pursuing them was everyone’s freedom.

After explaining to Lu Qiaoqing, Shen Chuning rode her bicycle to the commune staff dormitory.

Peng Kaiyuan was waiting for her.

She rode into the yard, “Teacher, I’m sorry, I woke up late.”

Peng Kaiyuan waved his hand, “It’s okay, I wake up early, let’s go!”

After picking up the teacher, they went to Peng Kaiyuan’s home in Xiaohe Village Brigade with Father Shen and the masons.
