The man’s large hand gripped gently but firmly a couple of times, then he turned to look at the petite woman, "Don’t worry, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will be overcome. I believe it won’t be long before people’s travel will improve. The country has already started designing highways, and with highways, travel time will be greatly reduced."
When they got home, Qin Yang first got some snacks for Lin Chuxia to tide her over, while he went to boil some water.
Lin Chuxia leaned against the kitchen door, munching on small biscuits while watching Qin Yang bustling around.
Once the water was boiled, Qin Yang took a basin and mixed some warm water, then carried it to the middle of the courtyard and motioned for Lin Chuxia to come over.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh at his setup, "I can do it myself."
"I’ll help you."
Qin Yang set aside the biscuits she was holding, and brought over a small stool for her to sit on.
The warm water flowed over her scalp, and Lin Chuxia comfortably sighed, "Home is really the best."
Then she turned slightly to look at Qin Yang, "I really can do it myself."
His hands kept moving while he reminded her, "Close your eyes, I want to wash it for you."
He just wanted to look at her, touch her, help her with anything that needed to be done.
At that moment, a knock sounded from outside the courtyard gate, which was not fully closed, leaving a crack.
Yuan Bao, sitting aside, heard the noise and ran out with his tail wagging, clearly recognizing a familiar person.
Indeed, the next second, Sister-in-law Fu pushed the door open and immediately saw the couple in the courtyard.
"Oh, Lin’s back? You two really are a loving couple, Xiao Qin is even helping you wash your hair."
At this moment, Lin Chuxia’s hair was half-washed. She wanted Qin Yang to attend to the guest, but he showed no intention of moving, so she had no choice but to speak to Sister-in-law Fu with her head bowed.
"Sister, come in and sit, I’ll be done here in a moment."
"No need to sit, we made dumplings tonight, knowing you weren’t home these days, your elder brother asked me to bring some dumplings over for Xiao Qin so he wouldn’t have to cook alone. It seems my dumplings are redundant now."
"They’re not redundant, thank you Sister, I haven’t had dinner since I came back," Lin Chuxia quickly said.
"That’s great then, I’ll leave them here."
Sister-in-law Fu, seeing the couple’s affectionate manner, didn’t want to disturb much further and placed the dumplings on a nearby stool, also instructing Yuan Bao not to steal any, before leaving with a smile.
Lin Chuxia’s hair was also done, and she let Qin Yang help her dry it, giving him a glance, "You could have paid more attention with a visitor here."
Qin Yang justified himself boldly, "What’s there to be concerned about? I’m just washing my wife’s hair."
Although Lin Chuxia said that, her heart felt incredibly sweet. His assertiveness made her heart swell with an indescribable feeling.
She felt that she must have had a hard life in her past life, so this life she was compensated with such a considerate Qin Yang.
Obviously, she didn’t need Qin Yang’s help to take a bath. Meanwhile, Qin Yang took the chance to go to the unit’s canteen.
He could manage eating alone, but now that his wife was home, and particularly wanting meat, he couldn’t let her feel aggrieved.
When Lin Chuxia finished bathing and came out refreshed, Qin Yang had just returned with a food container.
"Braised pork, Mu Shu pork, and your favorite dry-fried green beans."
All were dishes he requested from the canteen.
Hearing the names of the dishes made Lin Chuxia drool.
She had really been craving good food these past few days.
The dumplings Sister-in-law Fu brought had chives and egg filling, and Lin Chuxia ate quite a few as well.
After finishing dinner and cleaning up, the couple sat in the courtyard, enjoying the cool evening and chatting.
Zhang Guilan had been staying with Qin Juan during this period, occasionally, the sisters would come over to see Qin Yang and cook him a meal.
