Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

“Wife, keep me company in bed for a while longer.” Li Zhao closed his eyes and rested his head on An Hao’s thigh.

“Get up, it’s already so late, and we’ll be laughed at if you keep sleeping.” An Hao tried to move Li Zhao’s head, wondering if he even knew what time it was.

“No, let’s sleep a bit more.” Li Zhao skillfully pinned An Hao to the bed.

“Zhaozi, that’s going too far.” An Hao tried to push Li Zhao away.

“Hmm, I’ll only ever go too far with you.” He started eating more healthily ever since he found out that An Hao was pregnant. It hadn’t been easy to get through the first trimester.

“Zhaozi, get up quickly.” An Hao called to Li Zhao.

Li Zhao was genuinely unwilling to get up. He wanted his wife to quietly stay by his side so that he could rest for a while longer. However, even this wasn’t allowed, and he felt frustrated.

By the time An Hao got up, an hour had already passed.

An Hao glared at Li Zhao, whose eyes were full of amusement, and angrily threw a pillow at him. He was overdoing it.

“Wife, let me help you get dressed.” Li Zhao put the pillow back in its place, picked up the clothes next to him, and cheerfully offered to help An Hao.

“Get lost.” An Hao snatched the clothes from his hands and began to dress herself.

Li Zhao rubbed his nose and realized that An Hao must be genuinely upset. The usually gentle person had even blurted out the word “get lost,” showing that she was quite angry.

Li Zhao threw off the thin quilt and brazenly stood in front of An Hao, who was fuming. He yelled, “Li Zhao!”

“Yes, wife? I’m here. You don’t have to yell so loudly; I can hear you.” Li Zhao looked at his furious wife with amusement, bent over, and carried her into the bathroom.

“I can do it myself. I don’t need your help.” Soon, the sound of water flowing from the faucet could be heard from the bathroom, mixed with An Hao’s annoyed voice.

Meanwhile, the people of the Li family were still seated at the dining table, waiting for the slow-moving couple to come down for their meal.

In the Qin village, Nangong Shulan was feeding the chickens while her husband was weaving a basket. She asked worriedly, “Do you think Xiao Yu and the others have arrived? Could anything have gone wrong?”

“What could possibly go wrong? Relax. Xiao Yu just went there once, and he knows the way. I sent a telegram to Qin Xue before I returned, telling her that Xiao Yu would be taking Xiao Qiu and Xiao Yun with him. Don’t worry, Xiao Yu will let us know as soon as they arrive, since he’s afraid that we’ll be worried.”

Although Qin Lei reassured his wife like this, he was also worried in his heart.

However, he believed that Qin Yu and the others would send them a message upon their arrival to assuage their worries.

Nangong Shulan knew that her husband was right, but she couldn’t help but worry.

As the saying goes, a mother always worries about her children when they are away from home. Regardless of how their children are doing, as parents, they can’t help but worry.

Nangong Shulan, however, chose not to say anything else. She wanted her husband to be at ease and knew that he only said that to ease her burden.

Perhaps her husband was just as worried as she was.

Both husband and wife wanted to reassure the other, but their thoughts were with their children far away.

That’s what love is all about: being willing to take on the worries and burdens for each other.

The married couple continued chatting while busying themselves with chores.
