Chapter 141 She made a gesture
After sending Fang Jiajia away, Li Xinran planned to go out and walk around.
She has to live here for at least two years, and she has to get familiar with the environment.
Just a few steps out of the small courtyard door, he met Shen Boyuan who was returning with a lunch box.
As soon as Shen Boyuan saw Li Xinran, he couldn't help but speed up.
"Daughter-in-law, are you going to the cafeteria?"
"I've brought the food back."
Li Xinran looked at the lunch box in Shen Boyuan's hand and suddenly realized that it was already noon.
However, she finished her meal after ten o'clock, and now she was not hungry at all.
She used to live on her own and would not eat unless she was hungry.
She had almost forgotten that beside her now, there was Shen Boyuan who was eating three meals normally.
Li Xinran said a little embarrassedly,
"I'm just out for a walk, let's go back together."
"Ah."
Shen Boyuan responded and walked back home side by side with Li Xinran.
The staple food for lunch is steamed buns, and the dishes are two meat and one vegetable.
Li Xinran sat at the table with Shen Boyuan, neither taking the buns nor eating any vegetables.
"Daughter-in-law, don't you like these three dishes?"
Shen Boyuan asked when he saw that Li Xinran had no intention of eating.
"I just finished eating and I'm not hungry yet." Li Xinran replied.
Then, she adjusted her words and looked at Shen Boyuan without blinking with her big, watery eyes.
"Deputy commander, I didn't wake up until after ten o'clock this morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Boyuan's face turned red.
He swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns with difficulty and looked at Li Xinran cautiously.
"Daughter-in-law, I must pay attention tonight."
He just hadn't seen Xinran for too long.
The two of them were newlyweds, and they were separated for more than half a month. It was very difficult for him to bear it.
Li Xinran was unmoved. Since he had already spoken, he had to finish the matter at once.
"I'm going to bed early and get up early tonight." She looked at Shen Boyuan and said seriously.
Shen Boyuan nodded without hesitation.
My wife had a hard time last night and should go to bed early today.
Then, Li Xinran stretched out his index and middle fingers and gestured in front of Shen Boyuan.
Shen Boyuan looked at her doubtfully.
"From now on, no more than twice a day, no more."
This was the number of times she had thought about it. Shen Boyuan would never be idle and she would never be tired.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Boyuan frowned, twice was too few.
He thought for a moment and pulled all five fingers of Li Xinran away.
Looking at Li Xinran expectantly, "Is five times okay, wife?"
Li Xinran shook his head firmly, that would take five hours.
It started at eight o'clock and it was almost midnight, which was too disturbing for her to sleep.
She silently retracted her fingers and gestured again.
This time, Shen Boyuan spread Li Xinran's two fingers apart and made a four sign.
After the tugging was done, Shen Boyuan firmly grasped Li Xinran's little hand and prevented her from making any other movements.
He said in a somewhat aggrieved tone,
"Daughter-in-law~ up to four times a day."
"If you tell me to stop, I will definitely not continue."
"I promise that I will never overfulfill the task."
Li Xinran looked at Shen Boyuan with doubtful eyes, and Shen Boyuan immediately gave her an affirmative look.
"If I tell you to stop, will you really stop continuing?"
Li Xinran asked with some uncertainty.
"Ah."
Shen Boyuan's answer was extremely crisp and clear, and his expression was very serious.
"Okay then." Li Xinran nodded hesitantly.
In the past, when she said it hurt, Shen Boyuan always stopped.
It should be the same in the future.
She just believed Shen Boyuan's words.
When Shen Boyuan heard Li Xinran's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief silently, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He would not give Xin Ran a chance to shout stop.
After the matter was finished, Li Xinran withdrew his hand.
Shen Boyuan also started eating the big steamed bun in his hand and the food on the table again.
Xinran said it twice just now, but it scared him to death.
"Daughter-in-law, if you don't want to eat, can I make you a bowl of malted milk?"
Shen Boyuan said with some distress when he saw that Li Xinran really didn't touch the food on the table.
If you don't eat anything, what will you do if you get starved?
"I'll go take care of it myself. You sit down and eat."
After Li Xinran finished speaking, she stood up and made two bowls of malted milk, and also made one bowl for Shen Boyuan.
Shen Boyuan looked at the malted milk in front of him, his face couldn't stop being happy.
Xinran is so kind and gives him malted milk every time.
After Shen Boyuan took a few sips of malted milk, he said,
"Xinran, the people in the Corps know you are coming, and they are all curious to meet you."
“We can also take this opportunity to warm the house.”
"Would you like to treat them to a meal on a convenient day?"
Li Xinran thought about the rice noodles, meat and vegetables in the kitchen.
There is plenty of rice and noodles, but the meat is only a dozen pounds, and the vegetables are only potatoes, cabbage, and dried mushrooms.
She has enough space for vegetables and meat, but there is no way to take it out.
Li Xinran did not answer Shen Boyuan's question, but asked,
"I see there is a little bit of meat and vegetables in the kitchen. Where can I buy some?"
If you are treating guests to a meal, you should always prepare enough food.
Shen Boyuan responded, "I'll go to the canteen first and buy some."
"When I have a rest, I can drive a jeep to take you to town to buy things."
"Then if you want to buy something, where should you go?" Li Xinran asked again curiously.
She can't just let Shen Boyuan see her off when she wants to go to town.
"At the end of every month, the purchasing truck will go to the town to make purchases, and military wives will follow."
"If you want to go, you can go with other military wives."
Shen Boyuan answered one by one.
He was afraid that Xinran would find it inconvenient to be in the military area.
In the past, when Xinran was in Beishan Village, he could go to town by mule cart.
Now, we still need to set a time until the end of the month.
"Yeah." Li Xinran nodded, as long as he has transportation to the town.
Shen Boyuan's eyes were always focused on Li Xinran, and he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing strange on Li Xinran's face.
"Then let's treat your comrades to food the day after tomorrow."
Li Xinran calculated the time. She could prepare the dishes tomorrow and cook them the day after tomorrow.
"How many people will you invite the day after tomorrow?"
"Captain Wang's family, political commissar Fang's family, Zhao Liang, and a few comrades..."
"Including their family members and children, there are fifteen people."
Shen Boyuan probably did some calculations and said.
Li Xinran didn't expect there to be so many people.
"Then we'll have two tables."
"See if you can go to the canteen and buy two chickens, a few kilograms of meat, and some vermicelli."
"Okay." Shen Boyuan responded.
