When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 111: Leading Lady of the 60s Cultural Troupe (50)

Huo Tianhao stifled a laugh and teased her, "At night, this is all there is to it between a husband and wife. Everyone’s used to it, so who’s going to laugh at whom?"

"You’ve never lived in a real tube-style apartment building. Sometimes, late at night, couples even compete over this kind of thing..."

Xia Zhaoyun’s jaw dropped as she listened. ’Are people really that open?’

Huo Tianhao patted her head and continued to tease, "You know the work unit has dormitories. So besides people on business trips, who do you think stays at the guesthouses?"

He didn’t wait for her answer. "Of course, it’s the certified, long-distance married couples. Absence makes the heart grow fonder..."

Xia Zhaoyun couldn’t help but cover her ears and glare at him. "They’re them, and we’re us! I’m not shameless like you."

"Alright, alright, my Yunyun is thin-skinned," Huo Tianhao chuckled. "I tested our big bed. It’s made of solid wood and is incredibly sturdy. I did push-ups and sit-ups on it, and it didn’t make a single sound."

"How about we give it a try next weekend? It definitely won’t affect my usual performance..."

The more he talked, the more impossible it was to listen. Xia Zhaoyun closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but it wasn’t long before she was genuinely fast asleep, nestled against his chest.

Xia Zhaoyun was busy with work, and He Qingran was busy at the sewing machine and cooking. The two of them had neglected their vegetable patch quite a bit.

As soon as Huo Tianhao arrived, with nothing else to do, he grabbed some tools and went to tidy up the vegetable patch for them.

The four or five o’clock sun had lost some of its intensity, hanging at an angle in the sky as if struggling to stay open.

Xia Zhaoyun and the children, each wearing a straw hat, stood outside the patch acting as supervisors.

Weeding, fertilizing, watering, and fixing the trellises—Huo Tianhao worked so efficiently that one might suspect he came from a farming background.

When he finished, he was greeted by the adoring gazes of his wife and children, who thoughtfully handed him water and a towel.

He took them with a smile, wiped away his sweat, and GULP, downed the entire bottle of water in one go. "Back in the army, we’d help out the nearby communes during the busy farming season. Our unit had its own land too, and each regiment took turns working it."

"It’s not easy to have a vegetable patch in the city. Zhaoyang Clothing Factory is developing well right now. The factory buildings and family housing will keep expanding, and they’ll definitely end up using this land."

"I wonder if the factory will offer some kind of compensation then."
