Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

This is a big deal; the whole family needs to discuss what to do next.

On the way, Zhou Yanshen held Su Wanqing's hand, his tone thoughtful:

"Wanqing, I've been thinking about it, and it's a good thing to go back to the city sooner. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so if we go back sooner, I can find a better hospital and make arrangements for the delivery in advance."

He had asked around before and found out that medical conditions in the border areas are limited and that the third pregnancy surgery is risky, so it would be safer to return to the city.

Su Wanqing responded, not too worried.

"Yanshen, since the higher-ups want you to go back as soon as possible, you should leave immediately. Don't worry about things at home; everything is fine. Once you're settled and your application is approved, we can go over there later."

—In reality, she was thinking: Oh yeah, finally free! While I can still stay here for a while, I should quickly make a few more transactions, replenish all the missing items in the space, and earn more merit points. I won't have such a good opportunity again.

Zhou Yanshen coughed lightly, staring into her eyes:

"Wanqing, you have to promise me you won't do anything dangerous. What if something like what happened in Yangshulin happens again while I'm not around?"

Su Wanqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Don't worry, Yan Shen, I definitely won't do anything reckless."

—No messing around, just going wild, hehe.

She felt the air was fresher. Without Zhou Yanshen watching her, she was sure she could really show her skills and wouldn't have to pretend anymore.

Zhou Yanshen was still worried and gave some instructions:

"I'll pack my things and report for duty. After reporting, I'll immediately apply for military dependent status. Wait for my telegram, and then you can prepare to pack your things. I'll come back to pick you up again."

How could he let his wife travel all the way from Xinjiang to Bincheng by herself? It would take her three days and three nights on the train. How could he leave her alone? What would he do without her to take care of her?

Su Wanqing was somewhat disappointed—she hadn't expected Zhou Yanshen to be watching her so closely. However, she still nodded obediently, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to pick us up."

Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, then gripped Su Wanqing's hand tightly: "Wanqing, this time I only did this because of your previous contributions at the camp..."

Su Wanqing interrupted Zhou Yanshen, "Yanshen, don't say that. I know you didn't get promoted so quickly because of women. Don't think so much about it. Let's not talk about who deserves whose credit... Besides, if the higher-ups don't attribute my success to you, they can't give me any more rewards. Wouldn't that be a waste? Giving it to you is just perfect."

Su Wanqing genuinely didn't care about these things. Rather than wasting her reputation, she preferred to give Zhou Yanshen direct benefits. After all, she wasn't a member of the military, and at most, the higher-ups would only award her some honors and commendations.

Zhou Yanshen hugged Su Wanqing and kissed her cheek. "No, I only got these things because of you, Wanqing. I can't use your credit and then deny it."

What does that make him? He clearly only has all of this because of his wife.

Zhou Yanshen continued, "But Wanqing, don't worry, I won't let you have done all this for nothing." He had used his wife's efforts, so of course he had to repay her a hundredfold.

"Why do we need to be so calculating... If that's the case, then I've been taking all that gold from your family for nothing..."

Zhou Yanshen didn't say anything more, but instead thought about how to make it up to his wife. Then, he came up with a plan.

The two discussed everything they needed to discuss on the way home before finally arriving.

Half a month ago, as soon as the road from the county to Yili was opened, Qin Xiao led his men and Qin Xue back to the stationed troops to report. Lin Tingting naturally went with them.

The house added to the planting site was finished, and after the road was opened, Zhou's mother quickly got her marriage certificate with Gu Yuan and moved into the new brick house, which was only a few dozen meters away from Su Wanqing's house. They still ate together during the day, but finally went home separately in the evening. Now they only saw each other once or twice a day, so they lived apart for a while—Gu Yuan would come over to cook in the morning, Su Wanqing would cook lunch, and Gu Yuan would cook dinner again, which had become a tacit understanding.

The brick house next door is where Uncle Ding lives. Su Wanqing and Zhou Yanshen occupy a large, spacious, and comfortable twenty-square-meter brick house.

I'll do some exercise tonight so I can finally make some noise.

Su Wanqing had discovered a little secret: although Zhou Yanshen was very long-lasting, all she had to do was breathe a few breaths in his ear, and he would lose control and finish.

Therefore, Su Wanqing can now control the process whenever she wants, which is very convenient and worry-free, and she no longer has to wait for the time to pass idly.

I just feel a little bad for Zhou Yanshen.

But the advantages are also great. You can turn this switch on and off whenever you want, and leave it on for as long as you want... It's very convenient.

When I returned, Uncle Ding was feeding the chickens in the backyard.

A few months ago, the space rewarded her with ten eggs of an all-around chicken. After Su Wanqing returned, she put half of them in the chicken coop and the other half in the space. After hatching, the chickens looked different from ordinary chickens—they ate a lot, pooped a lot, matured in one or two months, laid two eggs every day, and were plump and chubby.

If you miss a meal, it will keep nagging.

Uncle Ding forgot to collect the eggs a few times, and several more broods hatched within a few days. Originally, there were about ten chickens, but now there are more than thirty. Every few days, he kills a chicken for meat, stir-fries the young roosters, but it can't keep up with the speed at which they lay eggs!

This doesn't even include the red-bellied pheasants kept on the other side. Although they're not allowed to eat them, and sometimes we've unwittingly picked up and eaten their eggs, after half a year, they've still multiplied to more than fifty, filling the backyard to capacity.

Uncle Ding wiped his sweat. He was busy every day chopping alfalfa, boiling water, mixing rice husks, picking up rotten vegetable leaves, and collecting leftover food, feeding the animals from morning till night.

Even with such a big incident happening in the troupe, he didn't even have time to go out.

Seeing the two return, he quickly said, "Wanqing, how about we kill a few more chickens and smoke them? We have too many chickens. Let's slaughter those two pigs before the New Year too, and take a break next year. We won't raise so many anymore."

He also has three sheep and a pregnant horse at home, and he can barely feed them all.

Su Wanqing thought about how they would be returning to the city soon and how these things needed to be taken care of, so she nodded: "Then kill a few more and make smoked chicken and Sichuan pepper chicken."

Zhou Yanshen said, "Uncle, you go inside first. I'll go call Mother to discuss returning to the city."

"What? Back to the city?" Uncle Ding exclaimed in surprise.

Su Wanqing pulled him back into the house and told him what had happened that day.

Uncle Ding was overjoyed: "Good, good, good! You've been promoted three ranks! It's good to be back in the city! Wanqing, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. You two go back to the city, don't worry about this old man."

A short while later, Zhou's mother and Gu Yuan returned from work.

Although it's the dead of winter, in the original story, no one would have to work. However, due to Su Wanqing's butterfly effect, the 65th Regiment was not affected by the disaster at all this year, which led to many people digging roads every day. As a result, Zhou's mother had to go to the warehouse to manage the tools in the morning.

The children went to school as usual, and Gu Yuan also had to go to teach.
