Chapter 238: Things about growing vegetables
"Then when I have nothing to do these days, I'll go turn the soil over." When he heard that his wife was going to start planting vegetables, he thought about last year when she came over. They planted the vegetables together. He was responsible for planting and she was responsible for watering. This time she went out. Could she do it alone?
Oh, forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. If she can grow it, that's fine. If not, just use it as a way to pass the time. After all, he will be away for about half a month this time, and he doesn't know if he can come back on time.
"Why are you turning the soil? I can do it slowly by myself when the time comes. You work so hard every day, why should I ask you to do everything? Don't worry, I still know how to use a small hoe."
She really thought she could do it. Although she had never really worked in the fields since she was a child, she couldn't say that she didn't know how to do it. When she was at home, she often followed her mother and others to grow vegetables in their own private plots. Of course, it mainly depended on watching, chatting with her mother, and occasionally working with her, and she only planted vegetable seeds or something.
But she felt that she had learned it, really.
Looking at his wife's confident expression, he thought it was so cute. "Well, I know you can do it, but you haven't done this kind of work before. If you do it suddenly, your arms will definitely not be able to bear it. So, I will turn it over first. By then, you will have to sow seeds and water them, so you will be very busy. I don't want you to be too tired."
"Hehe (●'?'●)" Hearing Huo Haocheng say this, Ruan Ruan felt very happy. "Okay, then you just turn a little bit first, and leave the rest to me."
"Okay, then from now on, all the dishes for our family will depend on my wife. Now, I'll use this piece of meat first. Thank you for your hard work." As he said that, he put a piece of meat in her bowl. Usually, she only liked to eat various dishes fried with meat, so he could only find different ways to get her to eat more meat.
Looking at the meat in the bowl, she didn't want to eat it, but seeing Huo Haocheng looking at her expectantly, Ruan Ruan felt that if she didn't eat it, she would be giving him no face! After thinking about it, she prepared herself mentally, covered the meat with a lump of rice, and then put it into her mouth.
Seeing her eating, Huo Haocheng started eating too and stopped picking meat for her. Over such a long time, he had also figured out his wife's pattern of eating meat.
The meat at home is basically prepared for him. She only eats five slices a day and can't eat more than that. The same goes for chicken. No matter whether it is stewed in soup or braised, she only eats two pieces, and she doesn't eat the skin. No matter what animal the skin is from, as long as it can be pulled off, such as chicken skin, duck skin, and fish skin, she won't eat it.
This was the first time he had seen anyone eat meat like this in all these years, but okay, he would help her eat the parts she didn't eat.
After dinner, the two of them took their books and studied on the sofa for a while, then went into the bedroom.
"Wife, did you have a good rest today?" He lay on the bed and held her in his arms.
"Very good, I slept until noon, and also took a nap in the yard in the afternoon." She didn't understand why she was fine and suddenly asked herself whether she slept well, but she still answered truthfully.
"It's okay if you have a good rest. I'm not sleepy now, so let's do some exercise." He said ambiguously in her ear, and then without waiting for her to react, he turned over and pressed on her, with his lips attached to hers.
"...Um...."
".....elder brother"
"Wife, we haven't done this for a long time!"
"Wife, open your mouth"
.........................
Beautiful and ambiguous sounds came one after another, and the moon shyly hid in the clouds.
In the morning, Ruan Ruan was awakened by Huo Haocheng's kiss.
Seeing that she woke up, he began to patiently dress her, carried her to wash up, and then held her to eat breakfast. Until they got on the car, Ruan Ruan felt that only her body was awake, but her soul was still asleep.
Then, when they got outside the government building and she saw the scene outside, she really came to her senses.
"Awake now. Come, be good and drink some water first." Ever since Ruan Ruan was thirsty in front of him last time and had no water to drink, he would go there with a kettle and feed her water from time to time. Sometimes, she didn't feel thirsty, but Huo Haocheng felt it was time to drink water, so he would feed her a sip to count.
After taking a big sip from the kettle, she felt that she was almost done, so she handed the kettle to him. After covering it, the two of them went to register at the guard post and then went to Mayor Guo’s office.
When they arrived, it was exactly 9:30. Mayor Guo and his colleagues had just finished their morning meeting and had just returned to the office.
When they went up, they saw that the door was open, so Ruan Ruan knocked on the door and asked, "Uncle Guo, are you busy now?"
Hearing someone calling him, Mayor Guo put down the cup of water in his hand, turned around, and saw Ruan Ruan and his wife standing outside the door. "Girl, come in quickly. This must be your lover, Captain Huo, right?"
He had heard Commander Gu praise Ruan Ruan's lover more than once before, saying that he was a young and promising young man. Now standing together with Ruan Ruan, they were truly a perfect match.
"Hello, Mayor Guo. I am Ruan Ruan's lover, Huo Haocheng. You can just call me Haocheng." Seeing Mayor Guo asking about him, Huo Haocheng immediately stepped forward and introduced himself.
This was not the first time he met Mayor Guo. In previous years, he would follow and watch from a distance when he was on duty. However, this was the first time he formally introduced himself to him.
"Good boy, good. Just as your Commander Gu said, you are a rare talent. Work hard." After praising Huo Haocheng, Mayor Guo turned to look at the girl next to him.
"I heard that you had a serious injury this time? How do you feel?" These past two days, the most discussed topic on the streets and alleys was Dr. Ruan's medical skills.
There were all kinds of rumors. It was spreading normally in the beginning. I don't know why, but in the end, Ruan Ruan became a miracle doctor who could bring the dead back to life. Of course, people who heard about it found it outrageous. But now everyone knows that there is a doctor named Ruan in the Yuncheng Military Region Hospital with excellent medical skills.
"Hahaha, Uncle Guo, you know it too. It's not a big deal. It's just that this patient's disease is quite special. But fortunately, he was saved. I think that in a short time, surgeons all over the country will be able to treat this disease. It's not a big deal."
In Ruan Ruan's opinion, this was really not a big deal, but in the eyes of Mayor Guo and Huo Haocheng, they both thought that the girl was being modest, and were also impressed by her noble character.
"Okay, if you say it's not a big deal, then it's not a big deal. Sit down and tell me why you came to see me today. I don't think it's as simple as you just coming here to catch up with me."
Mayor Guo has seen a lot of ups and downs at his age. Since she said so, he will just listen to her. As for the rest, he will know it in his mind.
"Oh, yes, Uncle Guo, I came here today just to ask, do you know if there are any houses for sale there?" After being praised by the mayor, he forgot about the main business for a moment.
"Oh, you still want to buy a house? What are you going to buy it for? Are you going to live in it yourself?" She lived well in the military district's family compound, and he heard that her own family building had already started construction and the planning was very good. Why was she thinking of selling the house in the city now?
"Yes, but not for myself. I want to buy it for the charity's employees to live in. The people in charge I found are all veterans who came from other places, and some of them are my elders, so I thought about solving their accommodation problems before they arrive. In this way, when they arrive, they can move in directly and start working without having to look for a place to live in an unfamiliar place."
Ruan Ruan explained to the mayor. She understood very clearly that people came here for the sake of Huo Haocheng or her uncle. They were willing to leave their hometown to help you, so you had to solve the accommodation problem for them. Otherwise, who would be willing to help you when she needed help in the future?
