Chapter 358 It's my fault for not thinking things through.
A middle-aged military wife was scolding the children, but they didn't take her words to heart and all crowded around asking for candy.
At this moment, an officer hurried over, saluted Chen Runping, and whispered a few words about the emergency training mission.
Chen Runping frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Zhaodi.
Zhao Zhaodi gently patted his hand and said:
"Ping-ge, you go ahead, I can manage."
After giving a few instructions to his neighbors to look after him, Chen Runping left with the officer.
Zhao Zhaodi stood still, and people around her gathered around to greet her and invite her to chat and do things together.
Zhao Zhaodi felt warm inside as she felt everyone's enthusiasm. She knew that even though Chen Runping was not by her side for the time being, she would not be lonely in this warm military camp.
As night deepened, everyone returned to their own homes.
Zhao Zhaodi returned to her room. Chen Runping had not yet returned. Zhao Zhaodi sat at the table reading a book. After a while, she got tired and was about to wash up and go to sleep. The toilet and washing room were not in the room.
Zhao Zhaodi opened the door to her room and looked outside. She felt a little scared. She had always been afraid of the dark. In the capital, her father did not allow them to be outside after dark, so for the past 10 years, she had rarely been out at night.
Zhao Zhaodi gently closed the door again, feeling a little aggrieved.
She sat back down at the table, rubbed her eyes, opened her book, and continued reading while waiting for Chen Runping to come home.
A moment later, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from outside the door, and soon the door opened.
"Honey, you must have been terrified."
As soon as Chen Runping came in, he went over and hugged Zhao Zhaodi's head to comfort her.
"Yes, I'm afraid to go to the toilet."
Zhao Zhaodi said with a hint of grievance.
“I knew you would do this. It’s my fault for not thinking things through. I’ll buy a spittoon tomorrow. You can poop in it while I’m not home, and I’ll empty it when I get back.”
As Chen Runping spoke, he kissed Zhao Zhaodi on the head.
Chen Runping took Zhao Zhaodi's hand and, with a flashlight in hand, went to the toilet located in the corner of the yard.
The toilet was the kind that was a long pit with several open cubicles. Mosquitoes buzzed around inside, and there must have been many wriggling creatures during the day. Zhao Zhaodi quickly finished relieving herself and came out.
Chen Runping led Zhao Zhaodi back to the room.
Back in the room, Chen Runping began preparing clothes for the two of them to take a bath. Carrying a bucket, he led Zhao Zhaodi by the hand towards the bathroom.
There is a shared shower room on each floor, right next to the kitchen. There used to be a shared hot water supply, but it's too late now and there isn't any left, so you'll need to boil your own water.
Upon arriving at the bathroom, Chen Runping brought over a stool for Zhao Zhaodi to sit on.
"Honey, sit for a little while longer. I'll boil some water right away, it'll be ready in a bit."
As Chen Runping spoke, he gave Zhao Zhaodi a comforting kiss. He then opened the air inlet of the coal stove, filled the kettle with water, and placed it on the stove.
Zhao Zhaodi could have enjoyed a comfortable life at home, but now she has come to live in this difficult condition because of him. He feels very sorry for his wife.
"Ah."
Zhao Zhaodi gently returned Chen Runping's kiss and sat beside him, watching him busy himself.
Chen Runping carried the bucket into the bathroom and hung his clothes on the hook behind the bathroom door.
Chen Runping first filled a basin with water and washed Zhao Zhaodi's face, then took out a moisturizing cream and applied it to her as if she were his daughter.
Chen Runping washed his face again, and the two brushed their teeth together. Chen Runping then led Zhao Zhaodi to take the washbasin back to the room.
After sitting in the room for a while, Chen Runping led Zhao Zhaodi to take a bath. He adjusted the water temperature for her, carried the water into the bathroom, and let her go in to bathe. He sat outside the door and waited. After Zhao Zhaodi finished bathing, Chen Runping took her back to the room.
"Honey, you rest first. I'm going to take a shower and wash the clothes, then I'll be right back."
After saying that, he kissed Zhao Zhaodi.
Zhao Zhaodi then sat on the bed, reading a book while waiting for Chen Runping.
Chen Runping took a cold shower, washed his clothes, and returned to the room. Zhao Zhaodi was still sitting on the bed reading, waiting for her lover to come back.
Chen Runping walked in and saw Zhao Zhaodi sitting on the bed reading a book; she looked so beautiful.
Chen Runping walked to the bedside and sat down, gently putting his arm around Zhao Zhaodi's shoulder.
"Baby, I've made you suffer because of me."
He said softly.
Zhao Zhaodi put down her book and leaned against him.
"As long as I'm with you, nothing is hard."
Then, Chen Runping turned off the light, rolled over and pressed himself against Zhao Zhaodi, and the two began their intimate conversation again. Moonlight streamed through the window onto the bed, illuminating the loving couple, and they gradually fell asleep in the warm atmosphere.
In the early morning, as the sun rose, soft sunlight streamed into the room through the window.
A crisp and loud reveille broke the silence, and Chen Runping quickly got out of bed as usual.
He gently turned to the side and tenderly kissed the forehead of Zhao Zhaodi, who was still fast asleep beside him, and whispered:
"Sweetie, you can sleep a little longer. I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you breakfast later. If you feel cold when you wake up, just go to the kitchen and heat up your food yourself."
After saying that, he carefully got out of bed and dressed, afraid of waking his beloved.
Zhao Zhaodi vaguely heard Chen Runping's words in her sleep, and she moved her lips slightly, uttering a soft response:
"Ah."
Then he turned over and drifted off to sleep again.
Just as Zhao Zhaodi was immersed in a sweet dream, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was very rhythmic.
"Zhaodi, are you home?"
A friendly female voice sounded from outside the door.
Startled awake by the knocking, Zhao Zhaodi rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying to wake herself up.
She yawned as she slowly crawled out of her warm bed.
After putting on her slippers, she quickly walked to the wardrobe, picked out a decent outfit to change into, then quickly tidied her hair before rushing to open the door.
When Zhao Zhaodi opened the door, she saw that it was Sister Wu from downstairs standing at the door.
Wu Jie had a warm smile on her face and was carrying a basket of fresh vegetables.
"Good morning, Sister Wu! What can I do for you?"
Zhao Zhaodi greeted Sister Wu with a smile.
Sister Wu replied with a smile:
"Oh dear, Zhaodi, you must have slept soundly last night, it's almost noon! I've come to call you to make dumplings together, we'll all eat dumplings together at noon."
The other military wives are all waiting for you, so hurry up and pack your things and come with me!
Oh, and tonight we're also treating you and Battalion Commander Chen to dinner to warmly welcome you as we officially join our big family!
