Qingyan felt very uncomfortable.

When making dinner, there were two dishes in total, one scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and one pork stewed with dried beans. The garlic sprouts were salted twice, but the pork was not salted at all.

At the dinner table, Qingyan tasted both dishes. One was salty and the other had no taste at all. He put down his chopsticks in frustration.

Qiu Henian raised his hand to tuck the hair on his cheek behind his ears, then squeezed his chin soothingly, then stood up and poured the scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts back into the pot, adding water to make garlic sprouts and egg soup. This way the saltiness is diluted.

Pork stewed with dried potatoes is easier to handle. Just add salt to the pot and stir-fry.

The dishes were brought to the table again. Qiu Henian picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of crispy stewed pork for Qingyan, and said, "Try it, how do you like it?"

Qingyan also picked up the chopsticks, put the piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, nodded to Qiu Henian, and the two of them finished the meal.

When sleeping at night, Qiu Henian habitually hugged Qingyan from behind, but Qingyan refused. He said, "Turn around, I want to hug you."

Qiu Henian turned around according to his words, and Qingyan hugged his waist tightly from behind, pressed her legs on him, buried her face in his back, and rubbed against him again and again.

Not long after, he felt that the piece of clothes on his back was wet. Qiu Henian's heart tightened and he wanted to turn around and hug Qing Yan, but the person behind him stubbornly refused to let go.

After a while, the breathing of the person behind him gradually slowed down, and the moist and warm breath passed through the thin clothes to the skin on Qiu Henian's back, and Qingyan finally fell asleep.

Qiu Henian knew that Qingyan was afraid that something would happen to him.

He is actually also afraid that his unknown past will disrupt the stability and calmness of the present, and he is even more afraid that it will bring danger to Qingyan.

...

The next day, the husband and wife went to the county town and told Qin Lan and Ren Xiao about the matter. Ren Xiao assured him that he would handle this matter carefully.

Qin Lan said that since they had already arrived in the county, there was no need to rush back. She took them to the theater to drink tea and listen to music.

Qingyan had been in a bad mood these past two days, and Qiu Henian wanted to take him to relax, so he agreed.

Ren Xiao went to the county government office, and the three of them went to a nearby theater.

The theater here does not perform Peking Opera or other local operas that Qingyan is more familiar with, but a kind of opera called "Huanglong Opera". The performance is very lively. At one moment, it is like dancing yangko, and at another moment it is singing minor tunes, gongs and drums. Noisy and high-pitched.

After drinking tea and eating melon seeds all afternoon, watching the bustle on the stage, Qingyan's face gradually became less tense, and occasionally she smiled a little.

Ren Xiao also came in the middle of the way, saying that he had already said hello and would just wait for the news.

...

After going home in the evening, eating and cleaning up, Qiu Henian boiled water and said he wanted to take a bath.

There was clean coal in the stove, and the fire was burning brightly, making the room very hot.
