"It's still sore and painful. I can't sleep."
That voice was both complaining and soft.
Her almond-shaped eyes were soft and watery as she pursed her lips.
The way she looked didn't seem like she was staring at someone, but more like she was acting coquettishly.
Seeing her like this, Tang Nan's heart warmed up.

Seeing her like this, Tang Nan's heart warmed up, but he couldn't help but love her dearly.
Usually, Mei Qian's graceful behavior always made him feel that she was in charge, and he always followed her lead.
The girl looked a little weak, and her slightly pale face made him blame himself.
It was also today that he realized that she was seven or eight years younger than him. She was only a half-grown girl, but she had already become his wife.
She was his wife, so he had to take more responsibility for her.

Sitting by the bed, Tang Nan took out a small jar of ointment from his pocket.
He was too rude yesterday, so he took a look at her this morning. She was a little swollen.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Tang Nan went to the village doctor and asked for some ointment.
"Qian Qian, I took some ointment. I'll help you apply it. It'll make you feel better."
The man's rough hand landed on Xia Ling's leg.
"No, no, I can do it myself." Xia Ling was a little embarrassed.
Although she had already brewed the sauce with the man, she was still thin-skinned and couldn't bear to be exposed in front of the man like this.
"Don't move. I can see it. When I apply it on you, I'll use less force," Tang Nan insisted.
He slowly applied the medicine on Xia Ling. The fragrance in it...
It went without saying.
When the medicine was done, Xia Ling's face was completely red.
She stood up and went with Tang Nan to toast Tang Nan's mother with tea. They also changed the sheets.
Tang Nan's mother looked at Xia Ling and was not dissatisfied.
With their family's conditions, if it were not for grandpa Mei who had already set the money for Tang Nan and Mei Qian, Tang Nan's mother would have been worried sick.
* Oh, yeah
Mei was a good match for her son and their family.
And Tang Nan and Xia Ling returned to the door once.
When he came back, he kept what he took.
Instead, they were given more eggs, meat, and cans of fruit.
At this time, who can eat this canned fruit, is already a rare thing.
Grandpa Mei is the village secretary for the whole village so anyone who wants to do anything had to find him, so the Mei family never lacked for food and drink.
Xia Ling took out the canned food and shared it with Tang Nan and her mother.
Tang Nan's mother was extremely touched.
She even ran over to wash her hands a few times before coming over and eating the canned food carefully.
This canned food was not a very good canned food. It still had that rich taste of pigment when eaten.
However, Tang Nan's mother seemed to be eating delicacies from the mountains and the seas, and Tang Nan also treasured it very much.
Xia Ling looked at them and thought of this dilapidated home.
Tang Nan was going to join the army soon. There were always places where he needed to spend money, and he could not stay poor forever.
Making money became the most important thing in his heart.
Xia Ling accompanied Tang Nan. She first passed the last ten days of his stay at home with a sweet and warm feeling.
At the beginning of August, a large military green truck arrived outside the Mei family village.
At that time, Li Qing and the other two Zhiqing who had been admitted to university had already taken the signatures from grandpa Mei and went to C city to attend university.
Because he had offended the Mei family, grandpa Mei had extorted a huge sum from Li Qing.
