Chapter 39 Wife, it’s time for us to settle down

“Wife, we should settle down.” The low, husky voice reached her ears, and Qian Xiaolan unconsciously took a step back. Gu Yanqing chuckled and directly scooped her up in his arms. “Wife, I’ve waited for you for too long, you can’t back down.” Qian Xiaolan retorted, “Who’s backing down?” “Hmm, you’re not backing down, it’s me who’s been cowardly.” “Gu Lao Ba, don’t talk to me in a baby-talking voice.” “Hmm, I know my wife is a grown-up, I’m talking to you in a wife-talking voice.” Qian Xiaolan was annoyed and bit him on the chest.

This bite shattered all of Gu Yanqing’s restraint. He threw Qian Xiaolan onto the soft bed and then pressed himself onto her. Their eyes met, and they could almost hear each other’s heartbeats. When their soft lips touched, both of them trembled involuntarily. The feeling was simply too wonderful. At this moment, all the delicacies in the world seemed insignificant in front of them. Only each other was the ultimate delicacy they had been pursuing all along.

They changed positions, savoring this delicacy. Just as their souls were about to reach a higher level of transcendence—the delicacy suddenly vanished!!! Gu Yanqing was ashamed and wanted to die. He buried his head in Qian Xiaolan’s neck and wouldn’t come up. Qian Xiaolan couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. The man’s dignity had been severely challenged.

 Gu Yanqing was furious and bit down on Qian Xiaolan’s shoulder. Hearing her muffled groan, he felt a pang of heartache. He went from biting to kissing, then to… Gradually, the atmosphere was wrong again. Gu Yanqing’s movements around her mouth became gentler, but his hand on her peak became more urgent. When he heard Qian Xiaolan’s restrained voice, he couldn’t hold back anymore and charged forward again. This time, he became the victorious general. His spear fought the enemy until they were defeated, crying and begging for mercy. But the enemy’s whimpering made him even more excited, and his spear danced even more fiercely.

 … The next day. Qian Xiaolan woke up to the bright morning sun. She raised her hand to check the time. It was already seven o’clock. “Oh no, I have to go to work!” She hurriedly turned over and got up, almost falling off the bed. The pain in her body made her gasp. Only then did she remember that she had gotten married yesterday. Last night, they… Qian Xiaolan rubbed her waist and legs, gritting her teeth in anger, “This stinky man, he doesn’t know how to be considerate at all.”

 As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yanqing pushed open the door and entered. “Wife, you’re awake? I drew you some water. Wash up and then go eat.” Qian Xiaolan turned her head and ignored him. Gu Yanqing chuckled and wrapped his arms around her from behind, “Wife, are you blaming me for not keeping you company this morning? Okay, okay, I’ll keep you company for a while. Really, you’re so grown up, yet you’re still so clingy.” His pampering words, coupled with his undressing actions, left Qian Xiaolan speechless.

 “Gu Lao Ba, it’s broad daylight. Can you be a little more decent?” Gu Yanqing’s movements stopped, and he looked hurt, “Wife, I lost my decency when I came here. You know that, don’t you? Or is it that now that you have my person, you don’t cherish me anymore, you despise me?” Qian Xiaolan: “…” Oh no, oh no! What kind of man did she marry? Help! Can she return him? She wants the steady, handsome, gentle and polite Gu Yanqing back! Seeing that he had teased her enough, Gu Yanqing smiled and went forward to help her get dressed, wash her face and hands. He was patient and pampering, like he was taking care of a child. Qian Xiaolan gradually lost herself in his tenderness. Oh well, even though the man was a little unrestrained, at least he was sincere to her. When Qian Xiaolan reached the main hall, she was so uncomfortable by the meaningful glances from everyone in the room.

 Gu Yanqing stepped forward and pressed her down on the chair, “Grandpa, Father-in-law, Mom and Dad, let’s eat.” The Qian family was very satisfied when they saw how he protected Qian Xiaolan. Hu Guifen and her husband were also very satisfied. Their son knew how to cherish his wife, so they didn’t have to worry about their family being unhappy. They had just finished breakfast when the car that came to pick up the Qian family arrived.

 Qian Xiaolan hugged her elders, her eyes filled with reluctance. “Grandpa, Father-in-law, Mom and Dad, Big Brother, you have to take care of yourselves when you go back. I’ll write you letters. Remember to come back when you have time.” This was the first time in two lifetimes that she had a family, a family that was so good to her. She really didn’t want to leave them. The Qian family didn’t want to leave her either, especially Qian Jingming. If it weren’t for the fear of causing a bad impression, he wouldn’t have let go of Qian Xiaolan. Woooo, his precious daughter! They had only met once, and he would have to be locked up in the research institute for a long time again. Woooo, how pitiful he was! He couldn’t see his daughter, and he couldn’t hug his wife.

 The helpless, gentle, and pitiful Qian Jingming put on a calm and composed face. He patted Qian Xiaolan’s head affectionately and said softly, “My good daughter, don’t forget your father when you write letters to everyone. The mail in the research institute is a bit troublesome. You have to drop it off at a specific mailbox first, and then a special officer will pick it up and deliver it. It takes a long time, so you have to wait a little longer. I’ve left the mailbox address at the courtyard. You’ll see it as soon as you go back.” Qian Xiaolan nodded.

 He then patted Gu Yanqing on the shoulder and whispered to him, “Son-in-law, Lanlan is still young. Can you wait a bit before having children?” Gu Yanqing readily agreed. Qian Jingming was so happy that he praised him, “Good, good. I knew you were a good husband who knew how to cherish your wife.” Then everyone gave the young couple some advice and got in the car to leave.

The military vehicle disappeared from sight, and Gu Yanqing took Qian Xiaolan home. Originally, they were supposed to move to the courtyard today. But before his grandfather left, he told them to check the envelope he gave Gu Yanqing yesterday. So, as soon as the couple got home, they took out the gifts they received yesterday and the gifts from their relatives and friends. “Let’s look at the smaller ones first, then the bigger ones. That way, we’ll have a greater sense of satisfaction.

” Qian Xiaolan said with a smile, then picked up a red paper envelope containing a gift, opened it, and found fifty cents inside. The inside of the red paper also had a name written on it: Gu Changping. It was Gu Yanqing’s uncle. She opened ten more red envelopes, all containing fifty cents. Qian Xiaolan knew that this was the going rate in their Qingshan Brigade.

 Sure enough, the rest were all the same. Because they only invited close relatives from the Gu family this time, there were only about forty families who gave gifts. Besides the red envelopes, some people also gave gifts like red books, notebooks, towels, pillowcases, and other small items.

Next, they opened the red envelopes from Gu Yanqing’s parents, the  (red envelopes given to the bride’s family to officially acknowledge the marriage). Gu Yanqing curiously opened them, and both red envelopes contained ten yuan. “This… Mom and Dad wouldn’t have given me all their savings, would they?” Qian Xiaolan was astonished.

When they got engaged, the old couple first gave Sun Honghua 50 yuan, and then they gave her family another 350 yuan when they returned to the city. Later, they spent another hundred yuan on sewing quilts, buying household items, and preparing gifts for her family. Even the food at the banquet was prepared by the old couple. They had already spent over 500 yuan. They were just ordinary farmers who relied on earning work points to exchange for some food and money. Where did they get so much money?
