Chapter 56: How can the hundred-refined steel turn into soft fingers?

~7 min read 1,381 words

"Shh, keep it down. It's not even a sure thing yet. I came to tell you that my injuries have healed.

I can help move things. The sooner we get the furniture settled, the sooner you can move in."

Lu Xiu Bai said, spinning around in place and stomping his feet, letting his sister and brother-in-law see clearly that he was fine and could return to the team!

"Brother, thanks. We just happened to buy a lot of furniture back. Give us a hand and help me move it into the yard first."

Jiang Ye's "brother" was as natural as it was impolite.

Speaking of which, he had to thank his brother for giving him the opportunity; otherwise, how could he be near the water and get the moon first?

"Stop with the glib tongue. It's past the canteen's mealtime. Later, you cook me egg noodles; I want to eat two big bowls!"

Lu Xiu Bai looked disgusted. How come he hadn't noticed before that Jiang Ye was such a double-standard person!

Before, he couldn't beat him and could only use his mouth.

Now, hehehe.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll definitely make sure you're full."

Shen Man heard this and thought it was simple; it was just boiled egg noodles.

Later, she would have Brother Jiang Ye cook a bundle—oh no, two bundles of noodles—and let her brother eat his fill.

And there were the eggs Tangyuan had incubated before; they would be fried just right. Although her brother's external injuries were healed, the blood he had lost needed to be nourished to be replenished.

Jiang Ye didn't speak, just looked at his wife with gentle and lingering eyes. A sour smell called love emanated from within, stimulating the someone who was still single...

With Lu Xiu Bai's help, the furniture on the truck was quickly unloaded.

Jiang Ye took the opportunity to look at the well and was surprised to find that the water in the well had risen by half, which was a height of seven or eight meters.

The water was clear and transparent, looking clean and free of impurities.

Immediately after, he tied a hemp rope to a brick-red bucket, then lowered the bucket, tilted it slightly, let the bucket submerge, and then scooped up a bucket of water.

"Good guy, yesterday I saw the bottom of this well was still stinking, and today the smell is gone. You really dug out groundwater."

Lu Xiu Bai happened to have dust on his arm, so he squeezed over, tilted the bucket, and poured a handful of water to wash his hands.

After sighing, he sniffed his palms; there was no strange smell.

Then he poured some water into his palm and drank it straight into his stomach.

"Brother!"

Shen Man's eyelids jumped. Although she and Tangyuan had treated the well water quality, her brother's personality was too reckless!

The water in this well had been purified, and although it could be drunk, it hadn't been boiled yet!

Groundwater, no matter what, had to be boiled before drinking!

"It's fine. When we train in the wild, the rainforest is okay, but if it's a swamp or a desert, it's your own—"

Lu Xiu Bai felt his brother-in-law's knife-like gaze, smiled, pursed his lips, and stopped talking, not wanting to scare his sister.

"Anyway, my physical fitness is great. By the way, this well water tastes pretty good, like water from a mountain stream.

Sister, if you don't believe me, you can let Jiang Ye take a sip and taste it."

Sacrifice the friend to save the self.

Anyway, he had already drunk it and wasn't afraid.

At worst, he'd get a stomachache and could use it as a legitimate reason to go to the Military Region Hospital.

"Brother Jiang Ye, don't listen to my brother. Didn't we buy a coal stove and a kettle?

Let's boil water to drink. Raw water isn't good for the body. Promise me, try to drink boiled water in the future."

Shen Man stopped Brother Jiang Ye. She could guess what her brother hadn't finished saying.

It wasn't that she was disgusted; she just felt quite sorry for her man.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, I'll do."

Jiang Ye felt a warmth in his heart, like honey spreading through his heart.

No wonder some comrades seemed like different people after getting married.

It turned out that "How can the hundred-refined steel turn into soft fingers" was true...

"Hiss, I have goosebumps. I know you two just registered your marriage and are deeply in love, but can you consider my feelings?

Sister, it's all my brother's fault for not knowing people well and letting this guy pick you up..."

Lu Xiu Bai saw this scene, his stomach didn't hurt, but his teeth did!

So sour!

Why did Pei Yan Ting come to provoke him when she had a fiancé!

It made him feel insecure, and he wasn't like himself anymore.

"Brother, aren't you hungry? I'll boil water and cook noodles. Can you do me a favor and drive the truck to the Logistics Department and return it to Section Chief Liu?"

Jiang Ye was quite disgusted by his brother-in-law, the eyesore of a third wheel. If there were no outsiders, he would be...

So he found a legitimate reason to want to send him away.

"Oh, then cook more noodles. I feel like I can eat two bowls—oh no, three bowls."

Lu Xiu Bai didn't think too much and agreed readily, not forgetting to put forward his request.

"Fine, no problem."

Jiang Ye flashed a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Although his brother-in-law was sometimes annoying, he was easy to fool when it came to sending him away.

Cough, cough, not fooling, but kindly sending him away...

Shen Man saw it very clearly from the side. Brother Jiang Ye was so bad, bullying her brother for being an honest man.

And her brother, although he looked quite smart on the outside, was actually quite silly and easy to fool...

After her brother drove away, she said leisurely to her man:

"Brother Jiang Ye, my brother is simple-minded and has no schemes. In the future, can you, for my sake, not trick him too much?"

"Wife, how could you think of me like that?"

Jiang Ye's face showed hurt, then he reached out his arm, gently scraped the tip of his wife's small nose, and promised with a smile:

"Alright, alright, I promise you. In the future, in front of outsiders, I will firmly protect my brother and won't give anyone a chance to trick him, and I won't trick him either."

His brother-in-law was one of his own; how could he bear to make his wife worry?

"That's more like it."

Shen Man didn't dislike this kind of intimacy. Perhaps because they had already registered their marriage and their relationship was that of a legitimate couple, she accepted his kindness very calmly in her heart.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

A sound came from her lower abdomen; she was hungry.

"I'll go boil water and cook noodles. You eat some sponge cake to pad your stomach first."

Jiang Ye immediately put away his wandering thoughts, took a chair from the pile of things, wiped the dust off with his sleeve, and signaled for his wife to sit down.

Shen Man washed her hands first, then sat on the chair and accepted Brother Jiang Ye's feeding.

"Meow-woo."

Master, I'm hungry too~

Alright, alright, I'll share a piece with you.

Shen Man broke half of the sponge cake in her hand, ate a piece in small bites, and Tangyuan, lying on her lap, lay with its four paws facing the sky, hugging the sponge cake and eating it meow-meow-meow.

Delicious, sweet, soft.

Jiang Ye went to get water, build a fire, and light the stove.

Before long, thick black smoke rose, and it soon turned into a bright red flame.

Jiang Ye's way of working was very experienced; it seemed that as long as his wife ordered, he could take the initiative to learn and do any work.

Unlike some men, who couldn't be ordered to do anything.

If they moved, they might not be obediently working, but wanting to make a move... ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
