Chapter 243

An Zhiren told Xia and the two children a lot of things, because safety was the most important place that needed protection.

In the space, she also made them a big meal so that they could eat their fill.

The house was not expanded at the moment, so there was only one bedroom. Xia could only tidy up a corner in the living room and thoughtfully spread a blanket there, taking out many toys for them to sit there and play.

These toys were prepared by her long ago. She was afraid of being discovered by others, so she didn't dare take them to the real world. The two children also never had a chance to play with them before.

Seeing that the two of them were playing by themselves without making any noise, Xia simply took the triplets in as well so that she didn't have to wait on them herself and could actually relax more.

Never envy others who have multiple births, because only when you raise them yourself do you know how tiring it can be.

After Xia exited the space, she closed the door and told Sister Zhang that the few children were sleeping inside.

Big Huang ran over with Yuanbao clinging to its fat body. It ran swaying back and forth but didn't seem to mind the creature on its back falling off.

Yet unknown to most, in order to tame Big Huang to be its subordinate, Yuanbao had just given it a beating.

After all, they were different species and could not communicate smoothly. They could only talk with their fists.

Yuanbao had just come out of the space and still felt it was fresh, but after playing for two days, it was no longer willing to stay at home.

It started to run out every day, to the point that even Xia could not find it.

But inside the space, there accumulated many things that Yuanbao had found - most were dirty, covered in mud, like antiques, Buddha statues, gold, silver, and jade items...

All were damp, as if they had been salvaged from the mud.

Every time, Xia had to take them to the bathroom to wash them clean before carefully preserving them.

She had guessed correctly - these things had indeed been fished out of the river by Yuanbao.

In previous years when the crackdown was at its most severe, many things had been thrown into the river channels and sunk into the silt, hidden from daylight.

And Yuanbao had an innate sense for these types of things. But it was not limited to this - it also had an innate sense for many natural treasures, minerals, precious plants, and more.

Later, the things Yuanbao found were too many and too miscellaneous. Xia was too lazy to handle them anymore. She simply opened up a piece of land outside the house specially to pile up the things Yuanbao brought back.

Of course, that was all later.

Ever since the two children found out about the existence of the space, they would sleep inside at night.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for An Zhiren's wedding.

Since the distance was far, he went to pick up the bride before dawn.

Wearing the new clothes Xia made for him and matching new shoes, with a red flower pinned to his chest, as soon as he entered the village, crowds of older men and women surrounded him, saying how handsome he looked and what a good match Su Chun found.

Even so, by the time they returned, it was already noon.

Zheng Suchun wore a dress of the same style, also made by Xia. But the shoes were bought by An Zhiren for her. She had colored red lipstick on her lips and her hair pinned at the back. She wore a bright red crabapple flower, and with some slight dolling up, she looked even brighter.

The two standing together really made a handsome couple, matching each other very well.

Zhou Nan kept smiling and greeted people, evidently truly happy, as the whole wedding process went very smoothly.

Silently under the night sky, An Zhiren took Zheng Suchun back to his new home.

The housing for staff which he had lived in before had already been returned to the school. Now it was an independent small courtyard house. Although the house was not as big as the An's, it was still enough for husband and wife, and would still be spacious enough to raise two children later.

The couple had only seen each other once when they met to get engaged. After that he took her into the city to buy things once. Today was their wedding, marking the third time they met.

As they weren't too familiar to begin with, on the road they could still chat for a bit. But upon entering the house and seeing the big red bedspread on the bed and the "double happiness" character stuck to the bed headboard, they inevitably felt somewhat awkward as well as indescribably excited.

"I'll wash up first." April was already quite hot. Covered in sweat after a busy day, not to mention the smell of smoke from cigarettes and quite some alcohol from being indulged by his brothers, An Zhiren said.

There was a bathing area just outside the house, with water drawn from the well that came out warm.

After An Zhiren finished bathing himself, he also brought in two buckets of clean water.

Wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, he came back into the room to see Zheng Suchun lifting the covers picking out peanuts and lotus seeds. Blushing, she wondered who had helped make the bed, putting so many peanuts and lotus seeds - were they wishing for them to have that many children?!

When An Zhiren came in, he said to her, "I brought water into the bathing area, it's still warm. Why don't you go wash up too."

"Oh, alright." Zheng Suchun put down the full plate on the table. Not daring to look at An Zhiren, she only said on her way out, "I made you a cup of tea on the table to help you sober up."

She had originally wanted to cook a hangover soup in the kitchen but since there was nothing in the house she could only make do with brewing some tea.

"Thanks," An Zhiren quietly responded, the corners of his lips curving slightly upwards.

Suddenly he was full of hope for their future life together.

When Zheng Suchun came back, An Zhiren was leaning against the bedhead reading a book seriously. She was a little afraid to disturb him.

Sensing her return, An Zhiren casually put the book aside and gently raised his head to look at her. "Tired after a long day? Why not come to bed?"

"I'm tired." She was just nervous.

Carefully getting into bed, Zheng Suchun's heart was still thumping loudly.

Nervously lifting the big red quilt, she carefully lay down, immediately pulling it up to her neck.

An Zhiren smiled helplessly.

It was so hot, yet she didn't seem to mind being all bundled up.

"Is the door bolted?" he asked, seemingly casual.

"Bolted," Zheng Suchun replied blankly, wondering if he was asking because he wanted to head out.

Suddenly, An Zhiren flipped off the quilt she had tightly wrapped herself in and pressed down on top of her.

The sudden weight made her heart beat even faster and her breathing was gradually taken away as stifled moans escaped from her throat.

"Relax, don't be nervous," his gentle voice was like a feather tickling her heart, making her involuntarily follow his rhythm...

Relax... Even more...

An Zhiren was also extremely nervous on the inside and had no experience to rely on. He could only fumble by instinct. If he wasn't careful, he could really hurt her.

Clumsily completing their first time, it was as if he was addicted - along with deeper exploration, he became more and more adept!

Xia did not have dinner at home. Everyone in the family was busy today and no one could take care of her. She also didn't dare walk alone at night. So before it turned dark, she hurried back.

The ringing bell on her bicycle resounded in the small alley. But the figure ahead did not budge.

Xia hurriedly rang the bell a few more times, intending to circle around him.

But upon coming closer, she realized that silhouette was so familiar!

Xia's eyes widened instantly, revealing an ecstatic expression. Putting her bicycle off to the side, she immediately threw herself at that figure.

"Didn't you say you used up all your vacation this year? How did you get back so fast? We just spoke on the phone a few days ago and you didn't even tell me!" Xia nestled into his embrace, hugging his neck coquettishly.
