Li Huai's hands-on ability is quite strong. The partition is made of wooden boards. After half an hour of "ding ding dong dong", the partition was ready.
He still had to go to work, so after finishing his work, Li Huai put on his coat and left.
As soon as he left, the iron bed was delivered.
The little soldier who directed the logistics carried the bed into the house and put it away. As soon as they left, the three children curiously looked around the iron frame bed.
The second baby insisted on sleeping on the upper bunk, but his brother gave him a look and gave up.
Xu Shi was still unwilling to give up, so he ran to Zhao Qinglan again, wanting the adults to make the decision.
As a result, Zhao Qinglan also said that the eldest child should stay in the upper bunk, and the second child could only leave in tears.
It's so cool to live in the upper bunk. Alas, it's a pity that he can't afford to offend his brother and stepmother.
In the morning, she helped the neighbor with the work, and in the afternoon, Zhao Qinglan took the time to teach her three children.
Now Da Wa and the others are used to studying for half a day every day.
Because the eldest baby and the second baby didn't go out to play with their old friends, some people started gossiping.
Qian Hongxia has always suffered a loss to herself, but she still feels resentful that her leaders did not make decisions for herself and her son.
Zhao Qinglan rarely went out and she didn't meet him, so she asked about her son Dabao Dawa and the others.
After Yang Dabao told her that she hadn't seen much of her eldest daughter and her second son recently, Qian Hongxia began to slander her at home.
"Hmph, it must be that Zhao Qinglan. Let me tell you, how can a stepmother be so kind as her? How could she keep someone at home and torture her every day?"
Because she nagged a lot, Yang Dabao remembered it and passed it on when he went out to play with others.
Many of the children expressed sympathy for the poor older brothers, and told their parents when they got home.
This was passed around, and Zhao Qinglan kept the eldest and second children at home every day, either beating or scolding them, and treating the two brothers as servants.
Li Huai finished making partitions for his son's room and was feeling very happy when he saw a company commander with whom he had a good relationship called.
"Deputy leader, what, I said something, don't be angry."
"Tell me, what? You look constipated." Li Huai was confused.
"That's it, you should take care of your sister-in-law when you go back, otherwise it won't have a good impact on you in the future."
Li Huai was confused. "What do you mean?"
No way, the deputy regiment was caught by the new sister-in-law just after he arrived? The company commander who thought he told the truth just wanted to sew his mouth shut immediately.
"I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"
"Deputy leader, I didn't say anything, just think I just farted." After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Li Huai quickly grabbed the collar of the man's clothes and pulled him back.
"Don't leave until I make it clear."
Why is this so threatening? The quick-tongued company commander looked sad.
But looking at the serious face of his deputy, he could only tell everything he heard carefully and tactfully.
The more he listened, the uglier Li Huai's face became.
What's the matter? The older and younger children don't go out. On the one hand, it's too cold outside, and Zhao Qinglan is afraid that the children will freeze. On the other hand, she has to teach the children.
These people don't know anything, they only know how to make random guesses and spread gossip.
"If someone says that again in the future, if you hear it, tell them, don't be silly. Your sister-in-law is afraid that the children will be frozen, so she won't let them out." Li Huai said coldly.
"Yes, yes, deputy commander, can I leave then?" He would never speak so quickly again.
"Go, go, go." Li Huai waved his hand to drive people away.
These baseless gossips ruined his good mood.
The low pressure lasted until I got home from get off work.
As soon as I walked out, I saw the regiment leader and the new battalion commander Qu.
The three of them lived in the same place and walked back together.
Camp Commander Qu had just arrived and was busy with many things to hand over. He didn't go back at noon, so he didn't know what Zhao Qinglan, Wu Mei and others were doing to help.
Li Huai heard about it from Zhao Qinglan when he came home at noon, but he wouldn't take credit for it.
Commander Qu Ying was just over thirty, but he was still a subordinate of the younger Li Huai. It was impossible to say that he had no idea at all.
So while walking on the road, I kept looking at Li Huai secretly.
Sun Shengli and Li Huai were chatting and laughing along the way. Camp Commander Qu didn't interrupt much and basically just listened.
When they got home, the three of them separated.
As soon as Battalion Commander Qu entered the house, he saw that the house was well tidied up and a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm back, the meal will have to wait for a while, please sit down and rest first." Wei Hong walked out wearing an apron.
While cooking, she chattered and mentioned that Zhao Qinglan and Wu Mei came to help today.
After knowing that his neighbor was the deputy and leader of the regiment, Battalion Commander Qu felt that he was lucky. Now listening to his wife's description, his lover's temper was not bad, and he suddenly felt more relaxed.
After eating and before washing up, he hugged his wife and put her on the bed impatiently.
"I haven't washed it yet."
"Wash whatever you want. Our family lacks everything but a child."
The small bedroom suddenly felt springy...
Next door, after dinner, the three children would help Zhao Qinglan clean up, but they have developed a habit in the past few days.
However, Zhao Qinglan did not give in this time, and only sent the three children to wash up, while she tidied up slowly outside.
That's right, she has adopted the procrastination technique.
She didn't know how to face Li Huai who was "like a wolf and a tiger" when she entered the house, so she planned to drag him down first and wait until he fell asleep before she went in.
Actually, she didn't mind having a relationship with Li Huai. Although the two met suddenly in this life, Li Huai was not a stranger to her.
But she didn't know why, but she still felt a little awkward in her heart. Anyway, she didn't want to progress so quickly just yet.
Washing dishes, pots, and wiping tables, no matter how slowly she worked, she still finished the work.
After thinking about it, she found some clothes that needed to be mended and sat down there to get busy.
Li Huai came into the house after washing up from the bathroom outside, and saw Zhao Qinglan sewing clothes there.
"Sewing things at night is not good for your eyes. If you are not in a hurry, you can do it during the day tomorrow."
"It's no trouble, it'll only take a while, you go to sleep first." Zhao Qinglan said without raising her head.
Seeing her insistence, Li Huai didn't say anything and stepped into the house. But as soon as he entered the bedroom, he suddenly had an afterthought.
Zhao Qinglan was working all night, so she was avoiding him, right? The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the truth, and his expression became weird.
Does he look so scary?
There was a small mirror in the bedroom. Li Huai picked it up and looked at his face.
Not to mention how handsome he was, at least he wasn't bad looking. When he was just joining the army, many nurses and girls from the art troupe blushed when they saw him.
What about this Zhao Qinglan?
Feeling a little unconvinced, he turned around and went out again.
Pulling up a stool, he sat down directly in front of Zhao Qinglan.
"Why don't you sleep?" Zhao Qinglan asked a little nervously.
"Let me tell you something."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do," she escaped.
In fact, Li Huai originally wanted to tell her about the bad rumors he heard today, but seeing the way Zhao Qinglan was evading, he became more motivated.
He suddenly approached and picked up Zhao Qinglan. Without waiting for her to struggle and resist, he carried her into the house, closed the door with his feet, put her on the bed and pressed her on top of her.
