"Qinglan, I told you, I won't force you, so don't feel pressured."
Hearing his words, Zhao Qinglan chuckled. "What are you talking about? I have something to do when I go back."
Only then did Li Huai realize that he had lost his composure and quickly let go of her arm.
"My mother is hospitalized and my sisters are not too busy, so I have to go back," she explained.
It turned out that Li Huai was relieved, and it wasn't just because of himself.
In just a few days, he found that he had become familiar with her presence in this family. If she left suddenly, he would be very reluctant and uncomfortable with it.
This is probably why he had such an uncharacteristic reaction just now.
"Mother-in-law, is she okay?" He finally calmed down.
"There is no worry about life."
"That's good, Qinglan, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you back." He said apologetically.
The group leader and political commissar were already very tolerant of him when he was away for a few days on a blind date.
"What's the point? You can work with peace of mind. By the way, when I go back this time, I won't take Xiaoduo and the others with me. You still have to worry about taking care of them."
"Okay, by the way, you haven't bought your ticket yet. I'll tell the group leader tomorrow and I'll drive you to the train station."
"become."
Having said that, Zhao Qinglan packed up for a moment before putting the bag aside.
As soon as she lay down, she saw Li Huai's fiery eyes staring at her, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"What are you looking at?" she said embarrassedly.
"Qinglan, you are so beautiful."
"You." Zhao Qinglan was speechless.
Thinking of Li Huai's nervousness towards her just now, she suddenly bit her lip and said, "I, I am willing."
If his departure makes him uneasy, then it's better to just leave it like that.
Li Huai was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He turned over and pressed forward, their lips and teeth touching.
The room suddenly heated up.
Just when Zhao Qinglan was feeling dizzy from being kissed and Li Huai was about to put his hand in, the door was pushed open.
Li Huai was so frightened that he rolled aside, and Zhao Qinglan also immediately pulled up the quilt.
Xiaoduo walked in.
"Mom, I want to sleep with you?"
Although she didn't resist being kept, she couldn't bear to get up when she thought her mother was leaving.
Because both Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan reacted very quickly, Xiaoduo didn't notice anything wrong.
Looking at her daughter's pleading eyes, how could Zhao Qinglan say the word "no".
"Okay, mom will sleep with you." Zhao Qinglan opened the quilt. "Come up."
Xiaoduo happily took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.
Li Huai awkwardly arched his back and got out of bed to cover up his discomfort. "I'll go sleep over there."
When Zhao Qinglan recalled the scene just now, she felt like laughing inexplicably and nodded muffledly.
Li Huai picked up his quilt and left.
When leaving, Li Huai was still thinking that he would remember to bolt the bedroom door in the future.
Otherwise, if he came here so many times, he would doubt whether he would be scared to death.
Holding her daughter in her arms, Zhao Qinglan gently coaxed her to sleep.
Seeing her father coming over with the quilt in his arms, the eldest child actually felt a little disgusted. "Dad, why are you here?"
Li Huai flicked his son's forehead angrily. "This is my home. I can go wherever I want."
The big boy touched his forehead and pouted, hum, how childish.
In the morning, Zhao Qinglan got up earlier than usual and started working on making noodles as soon as she got up.
She didn't know how many days she would be away, so she would steam some more Erhe noodles, steamed buns and steamed buns. Now that the weather was cold, she could eat for a few days.
Li Huai got up when he heard the noise outside.
Understanding Zhao Qinglan's intention, he also helped.
Thanks to the stoves and big pots they have outside, they can steam more steamed buns at a time. Otherwise, they would steam less and slower if they use the one inside.
Li Huai has already taken the train once, so he naturally knows what time the train to Zhao Qinglan's hometown leaves.
Taking advantage of Zhao Qinglan's busy schedule, he went to the next door.
Last night, Wu Mei briefly mentioned Zhao Qinglan's matter to her husband. When Li Huai told her, Sun Shengli graciously agreed to his request.
Zhao Qinglan came over and borrowed the phone again. She called Sui Wenjing but couldn't find anyone. She called Li Aiguo again, but this time someone answered.
After informing Li Aiguo that she would take the train back today, and asking a few questions about her mother and sister, Zhao Qinglan thanked her and hung up the phone.
After breakfast, the steamed buns were steamed, and the house was ready, Zhao Qinglan looked at the three children and began to give instructions.
"Be good at home and listen to your dad. If we have steamed buns at home, use them first. Even if your Aunt Wu calls you over, remember to bring the steamed buns with you."
"Also, don't just play crazy outside without me at home. Remember to review what I teach you at home. If you don't understand anything, either wait for me to come back, or wait until your Aunt Wei is free to ask her."
"And..." Zhao Qinglan was unspeakably worried at the thought of leaving all three children under the care of a man like Li Huai.
It wasn't until the eldest child was tired of being told that Zhao Qinglan still wanted to leave.
Watching her get into the jeep and drive away, the three children felt empty in their hearts.
Erwa almost shed tears thinking about not being able to eat the delicious food cooked by Zhao Qinglan for so many days.
Li Huai did not let anyone else drive, he drove it himself, so there were only two of them in the car.
There are many words to give to the children, but now that she is alone with Li Huai, Zhao Qinglan doesn't know what to give.
"You must be tired after waking up so early in the morning. Why don't you squint your eyes and take a nap first? I'll be in a hurry to buy tickets later, so I may not be able to buy a sleeper." It's okay for him, a grown man, to sit on a hard seat for a long time.
I am afraid that Zhao Qinglan will suffer hardship.
Zhao Qinglan was very impressed by his thoughtfulness, so she said yes and closed her eyes to rest.
She said she was resting, but in fact she was not asleep. She was still thinking about what to do when she saw her mother and sister when she went back.
After wandering to the train station, Li Huai went to the ticket window to queue up to buy tickets.
Zhao Qinglan went to the edge and bought some food that she could bring with her.
When Li Huai came back, his face looked good.
"Fortunately, there is a sleeper berth. I'll wait for you to get on the bus before going back." If he hadn't used his military ID card, he wouldn't have been able to buy the sleeper berth ticket.
"No, you can go back, I'll just wait in the waiting room."
"Qing Lan, I don't trust you." Li Huai stared at her in a low voice.
Zhao Qinglan surrendered. This man was real, but he felt very sweet in his heart.
When her train ticket was checked, Li Huai used the station ticket to send her to the train, helped her put her things away, and then reluctantly got off the train.
The train began to move with a clang and clang. Looking at the figure of the man on the platform, Zhao Qinglan stuck her head out of the window.
"Li Huai, wait for me to come back!" When he comes back, he will definitely be able to fulfill his wish.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!" When this woman comes back, I must eat her up and wipe her clean!
The two of them smiled and looked at each other, saying nothing.
