Chapter 39 Huo Ci: "It's really sweet"
Chapter 39 Huo Ci: "It's really sweet"
Although I knew that the climate on the island was hot, I didn't expect that the weather would still be so hot at this month.
"The weather on the island is like this, most of the time it's hot." Huo Ci said in a hoarse voice.
Although it is October now, the temperature on the island has not dropped at all. It is still like summer and you can sweat just by moving a little.
"Yeah, I see you're quite hot too." Jiang Yushan saw that Huo Ci also had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Generally speaking, men's body temperature is higher than women's, not to mention that he is a hot-blooded soldier. Wouldn't he be like a furnace?
However, there is only one electric fan in the house, which should have been used by Huo Ci when he lived in this house before. Now it is used by Jiang Yushan.
I don’t know how he managed to sleep yesterday without even an electric fan.
"Why don't we move the electric fan to your room?" Jiang Yushan suggested after thinking about it.
There seems to be a fan in her space. She can secretly take it out and use it at night, and put it back during the day. There shouldn't be any problem.
"No need. The weather is too hot. I'll just leave it at your place." Huo Ci knew that there was only one fan in the house and his young wife was afraid of the heat, so he decided to give it to her.
It was okay for him to feel hot himself, but he couldn't let her feel hot.
"Oh, we should have bought a fan in the city on the day we got the marriage certificate." Jiang Yushan felt a little regretful at this time.
But she was thinking in her mind that she would find an opportunity to take out the electric fan in the space.
She pretended that she had bought it in the city. Anyway, Huo Ci was in the army during the day and didn't know her whereabouts.
"Okay, I'll buy it when I have time, there's no rush." Huo Ci said.
It was still early and Jiang Yushan was not sleepy yet, but in this day and age, there were not many entertainment activities at night, unlike in later times, when there were computer game consoles and other fun things at home.
She thought about it, went to the kitchen, took out two apples from the space, pretending that they were already at home, and boiled a pot of water.
"Forget it, I still can't make apple tea without rock sugar." Jiang Yushan had just boiled the water when he suddenly realized that there was no sugar at home.
Since Huo Ci was at home, she couldn't take out too many things from the space, for fear that Huo Ci would become suspicious.
Jiang Yushan cut the apple into pieces, prepared to eat it as a fruit plate, and walked out of the kitchen carrying the cut apples.
She was wearing a nightgown, and as she walked, the hem of the skirt would swing with her, revealing a pair of beautiful, slender white legs. Fortunately, the skirt she wore was long enough, if it was shorter...
Huo Ci felt that he might not be able to stay any longer.
But even so, I was still a little dazzled, and my heart seemed to be itching.
It felt like being scratched by an invisible claw.
Huo Ci thought he should stop looking, but he couldn't take his eyes off Jiang Yushan, as if they were glued to her.
"Come, have some apples. These apples are super sweet." Jiang Yushan walked over and handed the cut fruit plate to Huo Ci.
"It's really sweet." Huo Ci's mind was a little distracted at the moment. When he saw Jiang Yushan coming over, he subconsciously responded.
Jiang Yushan: “?”
He didn't even stretch out his hand, let alone eat the apple. He said the apple was sweet before he even put it in his mouth, which silenced Jiang Yushan.
"Why don't you eat it first?" Jiang Yushan paused, and seeing that he had no intention of reaching out to take the apple, she spoke again.
"Oh, okay." Huo Ci finally reacted and used the toothpick that Jiang Yushan had inserted into the apple.
It's not like he had never eaten apples before, but he always washed them with water and ate them directly with his mouth. He had never tried peeling apples and then cutting them into small pieces that he could eat one at a time.
Even for Huo Ci, this small piece was a little too small. He could eat two or three pieces in one bite.
The young wife is so exquisite!
But I also silently made note of this thing, thinking that I would prepare the fruit like this before giving it to her in the future.
"Very sweet." Huo Ci ate a piece of apple and nodded.
The taste of this apple was a little different from the ones he had eaten before. It had a crisp texture and was not only juicy but also exceptionally sweet.
"What is this apple..." Huo Ci asked curiously.
"I bought some when I went out before. There are still some left at home. Can you bring them to the army to eat tomorrow?" Jiang Yushan said.
Just now when Huo Qingrong was here, she was so nervous that she didn't think of bringing him some apples back. She could only wait until the next time she had the chance to give them to him.
"Let's stay at home and eat." Huo Ci didn't agree. Since Jiang Yushan loved to eat and brought him food, what would she eat?
Moreover, even though I can buy it this time, I may not be able to buy such good food next time. Taking it to the army and feeding it to those soldiers would be no different from a wild boar eating bran. It is such a waste.
The two of them ate a fruit plate and chatted for a while before going back to their rooms.
……
It didn't take long for the news of Huo Ci and Jiang Yushan getting their marriage certificate to spread everywhere. Almost the entire family compound knew about it, and gradually, the previous rumors changed.
"I think the previous rumors were all false. Didn't Comrade Jiang show up at the family compound after Captain Huo asked for leave to go back to his hometown? He must have followed Captain Huo back and lived in Captain Huo's house as soon as he arrived. They just didn't live together before because they hadn't obtained the marriage certificate, right? I don't know who is so wicked as to spread such rumors."
"That's right. I haven't seen Comrade Jiang and the young battalion commander meet in the family compound. They might not even know each other. It's really unlucky that such a rumor was spread about them."
In the family compound, some military wives were discussing recent events. With Hu Xiaowen's efforts, these rumors were also secretly guided away, not wanting things to go in the worst direction.
"I saw Army Commander Huo coming back with Regimental Commander Huo last night. They didn't leave until it was almost dark. He was holding something in his hands when he came. He must have come to see his daughter-in-law." Some military wives were full of envy when they thought of what they saw last night.
"If there is something wrong with Comrade Jiang, then Commander Huo will definitely not agree to this marriage!"
Huo Ci's identity and family background are both top-notch in the army. Who wouldn't envy Jiang Yushan for being able to marry into such a good family?
"Even though such a big thing happened, the commander didn't say anything. This marriage must have been arranged in advance, otherwise it would have caused some impact. I think those before were just rumors, most likely spread by jealous people." Another military wife spoke up.
After learning that the two had obtained their marriage certificate, many people's thoughts did change slightly. With intentional guidance, some people's thinking abilities have returned to normal.
