Begging for monthly tickets, awoo awoo awoo

Fang Pingying thought that with not too many people, just over ten adults and two children who wouldn’t eat much, she decided to prepare eight dishes.

Braised pork, spicy garlic eggplant, fermented black bean ribs, stir-fried hot peppers with eggs, stir-fried bitter melon, and a winter melon and shredded pork soup accompanied by a special appetizing cold dish from her hometown.

For the staple food, it was rice cooked in a pot, but Fang Pingying also specially made some potato pancakes that she had made at home before.

Although these were all simple home-cooked dishes, the gathering wasn’t really about eating, it was just a chance for close friends to get together.

Luo Chun and Qiu Lian took some dishes and rice for their kids to a little stool off to the side because they needed to feed the children, but Qiu Lian’s kid really knew how to eat. Barely over a year old, he wouldn’t swallow the vegetables and rice he was given but pointed to a potato pancake in his mom’s bowl, clamoring, "Eat pancake, baby eat pancake."

Qiu Lian glanced at her son with a laugh and said, "You little one knows what’s good, I too know that these potato pancakes are delicious."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter at this, and Zhou Guangsheng even complimented with a laugh, "Sister-in-law, how do you make these pancakes? They’re tasty and really filling."

Fang Pingying explained how to make the potato pancakes.

"Sister-in-law, did you learn this from someone else, or did you figure it out yourself?"

"She figured it out on her own; she doesn’t have any other hobbies, just likes to fiddle with making food. The pastries I brought from home last time were also made by her," Luo Zhiyong replied, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

Hearing this, Zhou Guangsheng half-jokingly said, "If I’d known, I should’ve asked Sister to work in our logistics canteen, then our troops would really be in for a treat."

"Nonsense, would Battalion Commander Luo let Sister Fang work in the canteen?" This was the first thing Fang Pingying heard Bai Jing say to everyone this evening.

For some reason, she felt there was a faint hint of envy or perhaps jealousy in those words.

But this was something Fang Pingying dared not dwell on too much; she just told herself she was reading too much into the meaning of someone else’s casual remark.

The group of people ate their meal amidst laughter and friendly banter.

After dinner, Luo Zhiyong and a few men wanted to go into the inner room for a chat, because Luo Zhiyong’s study was also inside, and they used to talk about military matters there.

But considering Fang Pingying was there, they felt it would be inappropriate to enter the couple’s bedroom and ended up chatting in the living room for a while.

However, between the laughter of women and the crying of children in the living room, they couldn’t really talk about anything.

Finally, seeing it was getting late and they had work the next day, everyone went home.

But everyone agreed to get together again next time when everyone was available.

Given the nature of their work, like Luo Zhiyong’s, whether being on a business trip or leading troops out for training, it wasn’t often that they could get together and find a time when everyone was off duty.

After all the guests had left, the couple cleaned up the house; it was already late.

Fang Pingying knew Luo Zhiyong had to wake up early every day, so she boiled water for him to take a shower first, and then she took a shower after him.

However, after Fang Pingying was done with her shower and entered the bedroom, Luo Zhiyong hadn’t fallen asleep; he was half-reclining on the bed reading a book.

As soon as he saw Fang Pingying come back, he lifted the bedcover and eagerly pulled Fang Pingying into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Time to sleep."

Seeing his demeanor, Fang Pingying knew what he wanted to do.

```

She gave him an annoyed glance and said in a low voice, "You’ve still got training tomorrow. Get some sleep early, don’t think about all those messy things."

Luo Zhiyong was unyielding, his lips pressed against Fang Pingying’s ear, his voice slightly hoarse as he said, "Wife, think about it. We’ve been married for a few months now, but we’ve only been together a couple of times, counting last night, only twice."

The warm breath of Luo Zhiyong sprayed on Fang Pingying’s neck, giving rise to a growing warmth in her body.

Still, she pushed him away and said, "Can’t you ever be serious? Is this all you think about every day?"

"I don’t think about it much when you’re not around because I know it’s no use. But now that you’re here, what man wouldn’t think about his wife?" Luo Zhiyong pulled her into his arms again to let her feel his urgency.

Their bodies pressed inseparably close, and naturally, Fang Pingying noticed, frowning at him, "You..."

But before she could finish speaking, her mouth was sealed with an intense kiss.

Fang Pingying tried to push him away, but the body on top of hers was like an iron pillar, immovable.

And that someone’s hand had already begun to create havoc under the blanket, leaving Fang Pingying so weakened that she didn’t have the strength to push him away and allowed him to have his way.

After a vigorous exercise, Luo Zhiyong held Fang Pingying in his arms and instructed her, "When I’m off to work tomorrow, I will come back on time for meals every day. You can go next door and chat with Luo Chun and the others if you’ve got nothing else to do."

"Hmm, don’t worry about me; I can find things to do." Fang Pingying looked at the empty space in the bedroom now designated as a study and said, "There is one thing I want to discuss with you though."

"Hmm?"

Fang Pingying said, "Now that the study and the bedroom are joined together, I find it inconvenient. You won’t even be able to bring a comrade home for a chat."

Luo Zhiyong also felt it was inconvenient and thought some modifications would be good, so he asked her, "What do you suggest?"

Fang Pingying thought there was no need for major work, just to separate the two areas, "I was thinking, this is army housing, we definitely can’t build a new wall, so why not go buy some wooden boards and use them to make a partition wall down the middle of our bedroom?"

"That’s a good idea; I think that will work better than having them together," he agreed.

Since Luo Zhiyong also agreed, Fang Pingying decided to proceed, "Hmm, if you agree, I’ll find someone to do it tomorrow. I’ll get them to measure up first and see how best to do it."

"You’re not familiar with this area; can you find someone?" The military base was not too big nor too small, but for a woman to go around looking for someone to do some work, it was a bit troublesome. He said,

"Otherwise, we could just wait until I have a day off to call someone over, or we could just buy some wooden boards and set it up ourselves."

Fang Pingying knew his rest days weren’t fixed every week, and if not next week, it would be delayed at least half a month, which was too long.

She shook her head, "No need, I will see if Sister-in-law Qiulin or Luo Chun can accompany me to find someone tomorrow. It’s not a difficult job, anyone skilled in carpentry can do it. There must be someone in the nearby countryside who can handle it."

If someone accompanied her, Luo Zhiyong thought it would be alright, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, you find someone first and measure the dimensions. After I finish work in the afternoon, I can come home to help too."

"Okay."

Luo Zhiyong had to conduct training tomorrow morning, so he got up just after five.

Seeing that Fang Pingying was also awake, Luo Zhi softly said, "Sleep a little more, I will be back at seven-thirty for breakfast; you don’t have to get up so early."

Fang Pingying, still half-asleep, didn’t forget about breakfast, and asked him, "What would you like for breakfast?"

"Just make something simple."

Fang Pingying, thinking that they couldn’t eat much, remembered there were leftovers from last night and suggested, "There are a few potato pancakes left from last night, I’ll reheat them for you to eat, okay?"

"Okay." Luo Zhiyong nodded, closed the bedroom door behind him, and went out for morning exercise. (To be continued.
