Chapter 117: Return to normal life
Chu Zheng's mission this time was not short. He did not return until the day before the official winter vacation of A University.
When he climbed over the wall according to the "routine", his wife, teacher Han Zihe, was busy in front of the computer with full concentration.
"You're back?" Han Zihe greeted his lover who had returned from a long absence with a smile, then got up and helped him arrange hot water to wash up. "Sit down first and drink some hot water to warm your body. Use the bathroom heater.
It has been opened. You can go in in about ten minutes... By the way, are you hungry too? I'll give you a few snacks to fill your stomach. After you wash up and come out, the meal will be ready...
"
Chu Zheng, who looked tired, looked at his wife, who was busy as an old married couple, and the cold feeling in his body gradually receded, leaving only a rising warmth.
"Stop working!" Chu Zheng took his wife's hand, pushed her to his side, sat down, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile: "How have you been this month?"
When Han Zihe heard this, he smiled even more cheerfully: "Do you still remember the first novel I published in Wentu Publishing House?"
Chu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Remember, isn't their vice president's name Chen Ming? You bought Wan'an's materials through him."
"Good memory!" Han Zihe snapped his fingers and brushed Chu Zheng's hair out of habit, "Yeah!"
Looking at the layer of dust on his hands, Han Zihe felt dumbfounded and touched Chu Zheng's face, waving his hands in disgust: "Oh my, my, are you playing in the mud? Wash it away quickly! I'll kill you
It’s dirty! Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
Classmate Han Zihe, who is an activist, did not hesitate to grab the change of clothes she had just put away and threw them into the bathroom together with her lover Chu Zheng.
After getting along for more than a year, Chu Zheng has become accustomed to his wife's style of talking about wind and rain and changing topics in an instant. He obediently thought about the steps his wife had given him before, and honestly and step by step removed the servant's dust from his body.
All physical and mental fatigue are washed away.
By the time he walked out warmly, a table of quite sumptuous meals had been set up in the hall.
"Oh, it's delicious! It's delicious!" Chu Zheng buried his head and worked hard to get the wife to fill him up so much that he was filled to the top. At the same time, he did not forget to praise him hard.
For a carnivore like Chu Zheng, as long as 90% of the dinner table consists of meat and vegetables, he will be as satisfied as if he is having a feast.
Han Zihe looked at Chu Zheng who was eating happily. On the other hand, he felt a little sad for the obvious signs of weight loss on his cheeks.
She and Chu Zheng seemed to have a tacit understanding. As long as Chu Zheng returned safely, she would not ask him about the status of the mission, no matter whether he faced a crisis during the mission. As long as he returned home safely after the end... And she
, is only responsible for making their harbor warmer and more comfortable.
Lieutenant Colonel Chu, who probably saw the distress in his wife's eyes and was a little dissatisfied with her reserved words, but secretly flattered herself in his heart, quickly brought up the unfinished topic and continued: "Daughter-in-law
Son, what did you want to say when you mentioned the publishing house just now?"
"Ah, that's right!" Han Zihe slapped his forehead and continued with a smile: "Two days ago, Chen Ming called me. Since my first novel received a good response, and some readers wrote letters wanting to turn it into a book, the publisher discussed and studied it.
, the meeting decided to print the novel into a book and publish it!"
When this was mentioned, Han Zihe was still excited. His watery eyes were fixed on Chu Zheng, as if he wanted him to praise him properly before he could stop.
Lieutenant Colonel Chu, who had always been considerate and obedient, was naturally very happy and spoke sweetly to his wife.
The young couple giggled at each other for a long time before Chu Zheng remembered and asked: "Do you still use the original title of the book?"
Han Zihe shook his head: "It has been changed to "Lu Qian's Wonderful Journey"!"
"Hey, this is not as nice as your original title. I don't know, it really can't be related to philosophy!" Chu Zheng's usual thinking is that the publishing house is responsible for changing the title of a book. Therefore,
There was no moment when he was already taking a step towards the minefield.
"Hey, Captain Chu! Are you questioning my wife's naming skills?" It wasn't until his wife grabbed her ears, pulled her up and twisted her, that Chu Zheng noticed his wife's bright eyes.
When he is half angry, he seems to be particularly clear.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I'm so clumsy! Why don't I change my words?" Mr. Chu Zheng didn't even bother to put down the tableware, he held his fists and begged for mercy again and again.
"Hmph!" He let go of his hand, sat down, and continued with interest, "The contract has been signed, and now all I have left is the first proofreading."
"Are you here to proofread the manuscript? What do you do as an editor?" Chu Zheng was mainly worried about his wife's schedule.
Han Zihe said with a smile: "It's said to be preliminary proofreading. It's just to check the coherence of the plot and some deletions and changes in the plot. For typos and so on, it's basically just a quick correction without checking line by line.
, the editorial office is responsible for the re-editing."
"Oh, that's good!" Chu Zheng nodded reassuringly, suddenly thought of something, and fearing that he would forget it soon, he said quickly, "By the way, my wife, I am on holiday during the holidays this year, and we may not be able to go back to my hometown."
Han Zihe was mentally prepared for this. Sister-in-law He had already confided in her when she returned from military training, so she was not disappointed. She was just counting her fingers and thinking with Chu Zheng about what gifts to give to her family.
Chu Zheng saw that she was quite interesting, so he quickly drank the hot soup in a few mouthfuls and came to join in the fun with his wife.
The young couple was calculating, and Chu Zheng suddenly interrupted: "Daughter-in-law, our brigade probably won't go on missions before the end of the year. Do you have any plans during these days off?"
In response to Chu Zheng's sudden question, Han Zihe thought for a while and shook his head: "Nothing too busy, I just can't let go of writing a book. The "Employment Storm" on Tianxing.com has only been serialized halfway, and I have some manuscripts saved.
I’m not in a hurry, even the Wentu Publishing House is urging me to write a new article. According to Chen Ming’s suggestion, I also want to write an article about mercenaries and soldiers. I’m planning on that.”
After hearing this, Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily talked about his plans with his wife: "I have developed well in City A. According to the leadership above, the military region still needs to vigorously develop special operations teams, so...
...I'm thinking that we have to settle down in City A for a while, why not...let's go to the city and buy an apartment!"
Buying a house = long-term investment?!
When Han Zihe heard Chu Zheng's plan, his eyes immediately lit up, what a great idea! (To be continued...)
