Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 46

It was a pity that she didn’t have a mobile phone at the moment to let her check online to learn about the specific experience of husband and wife getting along.

If there was too much, she would be overwhelmed, and if the frequency was too small, it would not work. Since they were partners living together, it was best to choose a moderate and appropriate frequency.

What was the moderate frequency? Twice a month, or three times?

While thinking about it, Qin Rou hung the collected clothes in the closet. Living there, although there was no washing machine, the washing of clothes was relatively simple. They were all light clothes in summer. They had to be changed every day and were easy to clean. There was cheap coconut oil there, so one could also try to make coconut oil handmade soap…

Two to three times a week.

Qin Rou felt that she should discuss that matter with him and set a fixed date.

But how could that kind of thing be said?

“I’m going back to the team tomorrow, and I’ll be back in the future.”

“Huh?!”

It turned out that the organization had already arranged a date for her.

Only then did Qin Rou know that Lu Yan wouldn’t come home to his affiliation every night. He had to stay on the ship for training at other times. He could come back two or three times a week on break time.

– They would be separated the next day.

It happened to be Monday. He probably wouldn’t be able to leave, so he had to wait until Wednesday, that was to say, she would not be able to see him for two days, and she would be at home alone with the two children.

“There is a kindergarten next to the base. I have already contacted them and we can send the children there tomorrow.”

Well, even the children’s place was arranged and she was the only one left.

“Why do you look like you’re about to cry?”

“You read it wrong,” Qin Rou tried her best to squeeze a smile. She didn’t know how to describe her mood at that time.

“Can’t bear being away from me?”

“No.”

“But I can’t bear it.” 

Lu Yan took Qin Rou into his arms, and finally understood why those who had families put on an ugly face every time they went back from vacation. He was also reluctant to leave his wife, he just wanted to hold her.

Qin Rou buried her face in his chest, trying to hold back her tears. It was really shameful. Why was her tear glands so bad? Even after two or three days apart, she could still cry.

– I am most afraid of loneliness after the hustle and bustle.

It was obvious that she had lived alone for so many years before, and she had long been used to being alone. It had only been a few days, but she was not used to it. As long as she thought of cooking alone, eating alone, and sleeping alone at night, it was as if she was being tortured, surrounded by an indescribable loneliness.

She had planned to decorate the yard with Lu Yan, to build a chicken coop for the chickens, to build a vegetable field, to lay slate on the road from the gate of the yard to the front of the house, and to build a flower stand. She wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunrise. In the evening, they had to go to the beach with a small bucket to pick up conch shells. She also wanted to bring her newly bought camera to take some pictures of the beach…

It had to be postponed.

Lu Yan bent down and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her eyes, licking the tears she shed. He had long wanted to do that when she was crying.

His wife really liked him!

She cried so much when he was leaving for two or three days.

Having such a squeamish wife was really a sweet trouble.

Qin Rou looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was really stupid at the beginning, and the man in front of her was really not a good person to live with.

He belonged to the sea.

Even licking her tears, it was not too salty, and yes, he must have drank too much sea water!

Lu Yan coaxed her softly for a long time. If someone who knew him before saw him like that, it would be hard to believe that he would be so gentle.

They couldn’t believe it themselves.

“I’ll bring a friend back for dinner in a few days.”

“He really wants to come to our house to listen to the radio.”

Qin Rou: “…?”
