Chapter 159 Building a Pergola
Li Xinran quickly returned to her normal tone and said,
"I was just joking, deputy captain, please don't take it seriously."
After she finished speaking, she pressed Shen Boyuan's shoulders and sat up from the bed, showing by her actions that she was just talking nonsense.
Shen Boyuan didn't move, but his eyes kept following her.
Li Xinran directly raised her hand and helped Shen Boyuan button the two buttons in front of him.
After buttoning the buttons, she patted Shen Boyuan on the shoulder with an upright look and said solemnly,
"Deputy commander, you have to serve the people."
Shen Boyuan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you a people person?"
Li Xinran's breathing paused for a second.
"How about I serve you first?"
Shen Boyuan said without any surprise.
Li Xinran took a careful look at Shen Boyuan in front of him.
How did such words come out of Shen Boyuan's serious mouth.
Shen Boyuan met her gaze with an open face.
Li Xinran's eyes blinked, and the corners of his mouth curved into a nice curve.
Then, she quickly glanced to the left and right, jumped under the bed neatly, and stood up.
She felt a little unsafe in bed.
Although it is still clear and sunny.
A smile flashed across Shen Boyuan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After doing this a few times, he has roughly understood that Xinran is very timid even though he talks about being tough.
"I'm going to sit in the yard and bask in the sun."
As Li Xinran said this, she walked around Shen Boyuan and walked into the yard.
Shen Boyuan stood up straight and looked at Li Xinran's back, the smile on his lips getting bigger and bigger.
He lifted his feet and walked towards the yard.
Li Xinran walked to the yard and took a deep breath of fresh air.
In less than two seconds, Shen Boyuan stood beside her.
Li Xinran said casually,
"After a while, when the weather gets hotter, we won't be able to stay outside anymore."
"Then I will build a pergola for you." Shen Boyuan responded quickly.
Li Xinran's eyes lit up, the pergola was great, it was cool and could hide from the rain and sun.
"Then the pergola will be set up right there, how about it?"
Li Xinran looked at the yard in front of him and pointed to a place.
Shen Boyuan glanced at it casually and replied, "Okay."
"I'll give you a ride when I take a break in a few days."
"Yes." Li Xinran turned towards Shen Boyuan and smiled sweetly.
"Deputy commander, you are so kind."
Shen Boyuan looked at the smile on Li Xinran's face, raised his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully,
"Isn't this... serving you?"
The expression on Li Xinran's face paused and she whispered,
"Shen Boyuan, you have changed."
The old Shen Boyuan would not talk like this.
Shen Boyuan's brows and eyes were filled with a doting smile, and he laughed out loud accidentally.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Xinran went to a newspaper office and a bookstore in Kyoto and wrote a recommendation letter respectively.
It probably means that she graduated from high school, is very good at English, and is very interested in English translation.
She wants to try translating manuscripts from your bookstore (your newspaper).
If you don’t trust her English proficiency, you can give her a manuscript first and ask her to translate it.
After reading her translation, if you think it is suitable, then you can pay her the royalties.
After Li Xinran finished writing the letter, he checked it again and made sure there were no errors before placing the letter at the gate of the Corps, hoping to receive replies from newspapers and bookstores after a while.
On the way back, Li Xinran deliberately followed the road of the Corps and took a long detour.
She thought that if she had nothing to do when she went out for a walk, she would treat it as exercise.
Otherwise, she would have been staying in the small courtyard.
If you go out for a walk, you can also see the scenery of the Corps.
When Shen Boyuan came back in the evening, Li Xinran always felt that something was wrong with Shen Boyuan's eyes.
Shen Boyuan always looked at her from time to time, and kept picking up food for her, for fear that she would be hungry.
After dinner, when she washed up and walked into the bedroom, she saw Shen Boyuan taking out five small umbrellas and placing them on the small table.
As soon as Shen Boyuan saw Li Xinran come in, the look in his eyes darkened instantly, and he shouted in a low voice,
"Daughter-in-law~"
There is something else Li Xinran doesn't understand.
When she just walked to the bed, Shen Boyuan had already taken her hand and brought her to the bed.
·············
When taking a break a few days later, Shen Boyuan was carrying a few pieces of wood on his shoulders.
Zhao Liang behind him was also carrying some straw.
Political Commissar Fang, who had just gone out, saw Shen Boyu carrying wood and couldn't help but stop and asked,
"Old Shen, what are you doing?"
"Repairing the house?"
"No," Shen Boyuan replied as he walked, "Build a pergola in the yard, otherwise it will be too hot in a few days."
Pergola?
Political Commissar Fang thought for a moment and realized that this pergola must have been built for Li Xinran.
With Shen Boyuan's rough look, there's no need for a pergola.
Political Commissar Fang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Shen Boyuan really loves his wife.
Shen Boyuan and Zhao Liang had already walked into the yard carrying wood and straw.
Li Xinran saw Zhao Liang and quickly said hello.
Then, she walked quickly back into the house, found a plate, and put some candies and cookies out.
"Put down the straw first and eat some cookies and candies."
Zhao Liang didn't eat a piece of it, he just followed Shen Boyuan to build an awning.
"Sister-in-law, I'll build a tent with the deputy leader first."
Shen Boyuan and Zhao Liang worked together and spent half a day building a simple pergola.
Four logs are erected in four directions, and some straw is placed on top of the head, which can not only keep cool in summer, but also avoid rain.
Shen Boyuan placed a small table and two chairs under the pergola.
Li Xinran looked at the pergola in front of him and was very satisfied.
When it was almost noon, Li Xinran went to the canteen and came back with three meat dishes, three vegetarian dishes and ten steamed buns.
When she saw that the pergola was built, she wanted to leave Zhao Liang to eat at home.
This has been done for a long time, so I have to leave someone to eat.
Zhao Liang refused repeatedly.
"Deputy captain, sister-in-law, I'll just go to the cafeteria and eat."
After saying that, Zhao Liang raised his feet and was about to leave.
"Hey..." Li Xinran shouted quickly.
Seeing that she couldn't stop Zhao Liang, she turned back to look at Shen Boyuan.
Shen Boyuan shouted majestically, "Stop."
Zhao Liang immediately stopped and stood at attention.
"Wash your hands and eat." Shen Boyuan said as if giving an order.
Zhao Liang immediately washed his hands obediently and sat at the dinner table.
Li Xinran watched in surprise the interaction between the two.
Shen Boyuan's shout just now was really powerful.
This was the first time she saw Shen Boyuan like this, powerful and majestic.
When he sat down at the dining table, Zhao Liang saw three solid plates of meat and vegetables in front of him.
The deputy leader and his sister-in-law were so kind to him that they even had three meat dishes.
The three of them sat at the dining table and ate their meals quietly.
After eating, Li Xinran saw the candies and cookies placed aside, and Zhao Liang didn't move any of them.
Li Xinran directly grabbed a handful of candies and biscuits, handed them to Shen Boyuan, and whispered,
"Give these to Zhao Liang."
If she gave it directly, Zhao Liang would definitely not want it, so why not let Shen Boyuan, the deputy captain, give it to her.
Shen Boyuan walked up to Zhao Liang with the candy biscuits in his hand.
Zhao Liang saw it and was about to refuse, "Deputy leader, I really don't need it."
He was just helping to build a pergola, and it was also about eating and giving him candies and cookies.
Shen Boyuan raised his eyes and shouted sternly, "Take it."
After finishing speaking, he directly stuffed the candy into Zhao Liang's hand.
Zhao Liang stood upright, "Thank you, deputy leader."
Shen Boyuan waved his hand, "Let's go."
Zhao Liang grinned, took the candies and cookies, and left happily.
