"Commander Ye is back to see Xiao He again?"

On Friday afternoon, Ye Zhengting drove back to the military region from Shanwowo Village as usual, stayed for two days, and then went back on Sunday, treating it as a weekend. He arranged the same thing for his subordinates, because they couldn't keep working and needed to rest.

But in the eyes of his neighbors, he only came back once a week to be with his pregnant wife.

Just then, he was carrying his bags upstairs when he was spotted by Qin Shufen, who was returning home from her shift.

Qin Shufen glanced quickly at the burlap sack he was carrying on his shoulder and couldn't help but ask, "More mountain produce?"

Ye Zhengting smiled and nodded, "Xiaohe has been feeling a bit nauseous lately, so I picked some sour fruits for her to try."

"Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl!" Qin Shufen smiled and winked at him.

Watching his retreating figure as he went upstairs, Qin Shufen was filled with emotion. "Back then, the rumors were so rampant, I thought they would break up sooner or later, but I never expected them to get along so well."

"Hmm? Shen Fenghe?"

Ye Zhengting opened the door and entered the house, but did not see Shen Fenghe. He glanced at the time on his watch and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. He guessed that Shen Fenghe was probably working overtime again, so he put his things down and prepared to go to the clinic to wait for her to get off work.

"You're back?"

Just as Ye Zhengting was about to go downstairs, he saw that Shen Fenghe had already come upstairs. When she saw him, she smiled and quickened her pace slightly, which immediately revealed a change in her gait.

Is your belly getting bigger?

Ye Zhengting soon discovered that her pregnant belly had grown significantly in just one week.

He quickly descended the stairs, went to Shen Fenghe's side, and helped her steady herself. "Will climbing stairs be even more difficult in the future?"

Shen Fenghe caught her breath, smiled and waved her hand, "It's alright, you'll get used to it."

"How can I get used to this?" Ye Zhengting frowned deeply, extremely regretting that he hadn't chosen a first-floor apartment when the houses were allocated.

The third floor of this building is indeed not very tall, but because the building is old, the steps are uneven and there are some missing parts. If you are not careful, it is easy to twist your ankle. It is not a big deal for ordinary people, but it poses a certain danger to pregnant women and the elderly.

He glanced down at Shen Fenghe's slightly protruding pregnant belly and muttered to himself: I wonder if there are any vacant rooms on the first floor? But the first floor here is very damp, the second floor is relatively more suitable.

"What are you thinking about?"

When she opened the door, Shen Fenghe saw that his brows were furrowed, so she said with concern, "You come back every week now, it must be too tiring. How about you come back once every two weeks?"

"I'm not tired!" Ye Zhengting shook his head. After going inside, he took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to her. "This is last month's allowance, and some receipts."

"So much? You gave it all to me?" Shen Fenghe took the envelope and looked inside. There was a hundred yuan, almost Ye Zhengting's entire month's income.

Ye Zhengting said, "I don't need much money at the camp, so you can keep it for me."

"Aren't you afraid I'll secretly spend it all?" Shen Fenghe teased him deliberately.

Ye Zhengting said seriously, "You are my wife, so my money is your money."

Shen Fenghe was stunned, caught off guard by his smooth reply, "Then...then I will definitely keep it safe for you."

Ye Zhengting nodded, "Don't try to save me money. Buy the best food and drinks."

"Okay! I'll listen to you." Shen Fenghe's eyes flickered slightly.

"Oh! My brother's back again, trying to steal my sister-in-law?"

Just as the atmosphere was getting intimate, Zhu Jing suddenly pushed open the door. As soon as she saw Ye Zhengting, she winked at him and said, "Sister-in-law has been pregnant for over three months."

Ye Zhengting didn't quite understand. "What do you mean, 'in three months'?"

"Look!" Zhu Jing pointed to Shen Fenghe's pregnant belly, "She's past three months pregnant, you can have sex in moderation now!"

Ye Zhengting: !!!

"You reckless, loose-lipped girl!"

He strode up to Zhu Jing and slapped her on the forehead, unaware that his own ear was already bright red.

Shen Fenghe glanced at his bright red earlobes and quickly changed the subject: "I worked overtime today and just got back. Let's have hot pot tonight."

Perhaps because it was the weekend, the "applause" from the neighbors was louder than usual. Ye Zhengting felt the walls on his side of the bed were shaking, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Old Lei usually seems mild-mannered, but he's quite active and excited in bed.

He put his hands behind his head, glancing at Shen Fenghe beside him out of the corner of his eye. She had cotton stuffed in her ears and was completely unaffected by the neighbors, sleeping soundly as usual.

Zhu Jing, who lived in the outer room, knew that her neighbors were diligent at night, so she would put cotton in her ears when she lay in bed. She even subtly suggested that he put two wads of cotton in his ears too, so that he would sleep soundly until dawn.

But he was already used to being able to hear everything around him, and he had to stay alert even in his sleep.

Tonight, his hearing was exceptionally sharp; in addition to hearing Shen Fenghe's heartbeat, he seemed to be able to hear the gurgling sounds coming from her stomach.

Is that fetal movement?

He slowly reached out and gently placed his hand on Shen Fenghe's pregnant belly, feeling the rhythm beneath his palm, his thoughts racing...

"Commander Ye, with your help, I have found a lot of evidence of crimes committed by the Li family, especially Li Gang. The bad things he did in those ten years are too numerous to count. The number of girls he raped alone cannot be counted on one hand. But among the victims, only Wang Ji stayed with him. After the turmoil ended, the others either moved away from our town or got married and had no more contact with him. And he didn't continue to harass them either."

"So Wang Ji's claim that Li Gang wouldn't let her go is exaggerated; at least their later relationship was a two-way street."

"Like father, like son. Li Qingshou is also greedy and lustful, but now that the legal system is sound, his methods are not so blatant. He either uses money or resorts to underhanded tactics. As for Comrade Shen, he initially wanted to use money, but Comrade Shen was unmoved, so he came up with a dirty trick: he arranged for Wang Ji to enter the Shen family to waste Comrade Shen's time, and then looked for an opportunity to make his move."

"Since Comrade Shen was 16 years old, she has been harassed by him. During this time, other men also came to the Shen family to propose marriage or to show their affection to Comrade Shen. Of course, they were all open and aboveboard, but they were all rejected by her brother and sister-in-law. Only a young man surnamed Zhou who lived in the same alley did not give up."

"For this, he was also attacked by Li Qingshou and was beaten and hospitalized. However, the man was in love but the woman was not. Comrade Shen had no feelings for him, and the two of them never secretly dated."

"After investigating thoroughly, the only woman who likes Comrade Shen, and whom Comrade Shen also likes, is Commander Ye!"

The next day, Ye Zhengting left early in the morning. Shen Fenghe never asked about his affairs, only whether he would come back for lunch or dinner.

"Has my brother forgotten? Sister-in-law, are you going to the military hospital for a prenatal checkup today?"

She didn't care, but Zhu Jing was unhappy.

Last week, she reminded Ye Zhengting that she would be accompanying Shen Fenghe to the city for a prenatal checkup this week, and she would definitely need to ride in his car.

"Your brother probably has more important things to do. We can just take the bus. The bus stops aren't far apart anyway," Shen Fenghe said understandingly.

"The bus isn't comfortable, so I asked Lu Xiaohua to drive us there." After saying that, Zhu Jing ran out the door like the wind to find Lu Xiaohua in the dormitory building.

Since it was a rare trip to the city, after the prenatal checkup, Zhu Jing dragged Shen Fenghe to the department store and bought a lot of things. Anyway, Lu Xiaohua carried the things, so the two of them just paid for them.

By the time they returned to the military region, the sun had already set.

"Brother, what are you doing? Where are you moving my folding bed?"

As soon as Zhu Jing entered the family compound, she saw Ye Zhengting carrying her folding bed downstairs.

Ye Zhengting kept walking, "Moving to the new place."

"New place? What new place?" Zhu Jing caught up and asked hurriedly.

Ye Zhengting turned to look at Shen Fenghe, "I applied for two empty rooms upstairs at the service center. One is for sleeping and the other is for living. The kitchen and bathroom are in the hallway. Although they are shared, there are only four people living upstairs, including you and me."

"If you add me, that makes five people!" Zhu Jing leaned close to him, stood on tiptoe, and pointed to herself.

Lu Xiaohua chuckled and walked over to pull her away, saying, "You're just a little tail, you don't count."

"Why did you suddenly move to a different house?" Shen Fenghe asked Ye Zhengting.

Ye Zhengting took the brown paper bag from her arms with one free hand. "The second floor isn't damp, so it'll be easier for you to go up and down."

"Moreover, that building was constructed later, so the stairs and such are not bumpy and uneven, making it less likely to slip."
