Let’s leave these out to cool, and we can pack them tomorrow morning. I’ll wash the pot and heat up some water for a bath. You go take a break, it’s been a long day.” Nangong Shulan scooped out the water used for steaming the mung bean cakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then scrubbed the pot and prepared to heat up water to take a shower, feeling sweaty and uncomfortable after a long day of work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wash the pot; I’ll bring in the water.” Qin Lei didn’t want his wife to be too tired, knowing that not only had he been tired all day, but so had she.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then!” Nangong Shulan knew her husband was being considerate and did not reject his kindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ideal relationship between husband and wife involves mutual tolerance and help. It’s not about who contributes more or less, as an unbalanced relationship won’t last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.” Qin Lei smiled, took the water bucket, and went out to the courtyard to fetch water. He knew his wife would understand his intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it grew darker, Qin Yu found it increasingly difficult to read his book, so he put it away and stepped out of his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the granddad-grandson duo was still playing chess, Qin Yu fetched an oil lamp, lit it, and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Jiale looked up at Qin Yu and sweetly smiled, “Thank you, brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yu smiled and asked, “Where’s grandma?

We’ve been together for decades; how could I not understand her?” Mr. Qin said, a little embarrassed, while looking at his granddaughter. “Exactly, that’s why my grandpa is so awesome! Haha!” With that, Qin Jiale winked at her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yu felt helpless in his heart, as his sister was playfully teasing their grandpa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandpa, let me play a game with you. Little sister, you go take a shower first.” Qin Yu saw that it was getting completely dark outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, thank you, brother.” Qin Jiale stood up stretching her waist, rubbing her sore neck, and said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up; it’s already dark.” Qin Yu gently pushed her away and took his sister’s seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandpa, you start first.” Qin Yu followed the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, and let his grandpa make the first move..\u003C\u002Fp>",712,"2026-06-03T08:39:00.678Z",1,"novelbin.me","493660e1d33176be9f704a1399371a7366a36e0f5f2f1e51652df7c0d3a1c183","reborn-in-the-eighties-as-a-housewife-with-a-spa-chapter-261","reborn-in-the-eighties-as-a-housewife-with-a-spa-chapter-259",2818,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-the-eighties-as-a-housewife-with-a-spa-cover.jpg"]
