Reborn in the 1970s, the cold soldier is a bit sweet

He looked down at the pockets of his clothes. They were bulging there and contained chocolates that he bought at the army store when he came back.

This afternoon, I overheard a few little soldiers chatting, saying that eating sweets will make girls feel better when they are unhappy.

So after training, he ran to the store, fell in love with this chocolate at first sight, found someone to exchange foreign exchange coupons, and spent nearly a month's salary to buy this box of chocolates.

He silently took out the box of chocolates, placed it in front of her, turned and left.

In the kitchen, Zhou Ailian had been quietly observing the awkward couple.

Seeing my daughter-in-law return to the house, my son followed her in. I felt relieved that my son was finally not stupid anymore.

She was in a good mood and put all the food on the table without disturbing the two of them. She sat on the chair and made clothes while waiting.

When she heard the door open, she immediately put down the clothes in her hands, looked up with a smile on her face, and saw her son walking out of the house with a sullen face.

One look at his face, Zhou Ailian knew that he had not coaxed his wife well, and she felt anxious and angry, why did she give birth to such a stupid son.

She quickly stood up and walked to her son, whispering: "Son, why are you so stupid? You can't even coax a wife, so you don't know how to talk nicely, and who can you show your dark face to. "

Chu Xingchen ignored his mother's nagging and walked straight to the dinner table.

Zhou Ailian took a few deep breaths and suppressed the urge to hit her. Her son had grown up and could no longer be treated like he was when he was a child.

Wang Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the beautifully packaged chocolate in front of her. It was obvious that it was given to her. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at this time.

After a while, she got up and went out. As for the box of chocolates, she didn't move.

In the living room, when Zhou Ailian saw it coming out, a smile appeared on her calm face: "Xiaoxiao, it's almost time to eat."

"it is good."

Wang Xiaoxiao turned around and washed his hands, then sat at the dining table and ate silently.

Zhou Ailian glanced at her son, who had a dark face, and then at her daughter-in-law, who kept her head lowered. She was still in the mood to eat, so she took a few bites and then returned to the house.

When Wang Xiaoxiao saw her mother-in-law leaving, she quickly finished the rice in her bowl and left.

Chu Xingchen looked at the dishes on the dining table without touching a few chopsticks, and silently cleaned up and went to the kitchen.

After washing the dishes, I sat in the living room until late at night, then got up and went back to the house.

Wang Xiaoxiao just put down the book in her hand when she saw him coming in. She was stunned for a moment. She thought he had left.

After she came to her senses, she ignored him and got up and walked to the door. She went to the city today and got a lot of dirt on her body and sweated a lot. She couldn't sleep at night without taking a shower.

As soon as Chu Xingchen walked to the bed, he saw her getting up and going out. He paused for a moment, then continued his actions and lay down on the bed to rest.

Wang Xiaoxiao came to the kitchen and wanted to light a fire to boil water. He didn't know what happened today. He wasted most of the box of matches and failed to light the fire.

She threw down the matchbox with some annoyance, sat on the small stool in front of the stove, and hugged herself with her arms.

Chu Xingchen stared at the box of chocolates placed intact on the table, feeling depressed for no reason.

After waiting for a long time without seeing her return to the room, he turned and glanced at the watch on the bedside. It was already past eleven o'clock, and his heart sank a little bit.

In order to avoid him, she didn't even sleep...

Chu Xingchen stood up suddenly, put on his clothes and walked out. He just left if he was in her way.

When passing by the living room, he was stunned.

The woman sat on a small stool, her head lowered on her knees, her hands wrapped around herself, huddled up, as if abandoned.

His heart ached a few times, and he turned around and walked to the kitchen, squatted in front of her, and shouted softly: "Xiaoxiao..."

Wang Xiaoxiao, who was immersed in her own world, heard someone calling her in her ear and subconsciously raised her head.

She looked at him with empty eyes, fragile and hopeless...

Chu Xingchen's heart suddenly hurt again, so painful that he wanted to stop breathing, and a part of his heart suddenly collapsed.

He was filled with regret, and for the first time he felt how wrong he was, making her so sad.

Wang Xiaoxiao quickly came to his senses.

She lowered her head, picked up the matches thrown on the ground as if nothing had happened, and continued to light the fire.

The whole person returned to his previous indifference.

When she took out a match again to strike, Chu Xingchen took the matchbox from her hand: "I'll do it."

You could tell how long she had been lighting the fire from the many spent matches thrown on the ground.

Wang Xiaoxiao moved her fingers, but suppressed the urge to take back the matchbox, and sat there calmly, looking down at his movements.

Chu Xingchen quickly lit the fire. He stood up and saw a lot of water poured into the pot. He lowered his head and looked at her: "Want to take a bath?"

Wang Xiaoxiao closed his eyes and said "hmm" in a very soft tone.

She suddenly felt so tired.

Chu Xingchen looked at her for a long time, squatted down and filled the stove with firewood, turned to the bathroom, rinsed the bucket, and took it back to the kitchen.

The two of them sat in the kitchen with their own thoughts, and no one spoke.

After the water was boiled, Chu Xingchen put the hot water into the tub, carried it back to the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature, turned around and went out and said to Wang Xiaoxiao who was still sitting in the kitchen: "Okay."

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, got up and went back to the bedroom, picked up a change of clothes, turned around and went to the bathroom.

I took off my clothes, stepped into the tub, raised my head and closed my eyes, leaning against the wall of the tub, emptying my mind and digesting all the low emotions.

When the temperature of the water in the tub was almost cold, she opened her eyes, rinsed her body quickly, stepped out of the tub, dried herself, put on clean clothes, and was about to use a small bucket to get out the water. There was a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was accompanied by Chu Xingchen's cold voice: "Let me get the water."

He had been waiting in the living room, and when he heard a noise, he knew that she had finished washing.

Wang Xiaoxiao paused, put down the keg, opened the bathroom door, walked out, and went straight back to the bedroom.

After Chu Xingchen cleaned up the bathroom and returned to the bedroom, he saw Wang Xiaoxiao lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

He sighed silently, picked up the box of chocolates on the table, walked to the bed, reached out and pushed her: "Xiaoxiao."

Wang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and saw his broad hands holding the box of chocolates. She looked away and asked in a calm tone: "What's wrong?"

"Give you."

Chu Xingchen directly took her hand and put the chocolate into her hand.

Wang Xiaoxiao's hand struggled a few times, but in the end it could not withstand the strength of his hand, so she could only give up the struggle and let the box of chocolates fall into her palm.

Seeing that she was no longer struggling, Chu Xingchen let go of her hand, opened the tin box, took out a chocolate wrapped in golden tinfoil, opened it and handed it to her mouth: "Open your mouth."
