The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Fang Huai told Bai Guihua the situation the next day.

His face was filled with a happy smile. "Mom, I wronged my husband. He really doesn't have anyone else outside."

Bai Guihua stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Fang Huai, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Really? How did you know?"

Fang Huai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "I had a good talk with him last night, and he told me everything about his recent promotion of potatoes. He was so busy every day that he had no energy to do anything else. My husband also said that he only had me and this family in his heart."

Bai Guihua looked at Fang Huai's happy face, and all the doubts in her heart disappeared. She smiled and said, "That's good. Mother was worried that you would be wronged. Since Chuanzi is innocent, let's live a good life in the future. You are pregnant, so you must pay more attention to rest."

Fang Huai nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, I know. Don't worry about me anymore. My husband is a decent man."

Bai Guihua reached out and gently touched Fang Huai's belly, saying lovingly, "Okay, Mom won't worry about it anymore. I just hope you can give birth to the baby smoothly, and our family will be reunited."

The two smiled at each other.

She was just an ordinary woman who asked for nothing else in her life except that her children could live a good life.

Since then, Zhao Yunchuan has turned her guilt towards her husband into practical actions and strives to balance work and family every day.

He got up at daybreak and arrived at the government office early. He then plunged into the affairs of potato promotion, communicating with local leaders around the clock, recording potato planting conditions, and researching and improving planting methods.

While other adults were resting at noon, he did not have time to rest. He was either organizing the morning's data or planning his afternoon work, just to finish the day's tasks before the sun sets and get off work on time to go home and be with Fang Huai.

It's like this every day. At night, even though sleepiness comes in waves, I still force myself to stay awake and chat with Fang Huai.

As the days passed, Fang Huai keenly noticed the changes in Zhao Yunchuan.

His face, which had already become thin due to being busy, now looked even thinner, and the faint dark circles under his eyes could not be concealed, revealing a deep sense of fatigue.

Fang Huai saw it and felt pain in his heart.

One night, when Zhao Yunchuan was forcing himself to talk to him again, Fang Huai couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his cheek, saying distressedly: "Husband, you have been too hard lately, I can see it all. If you are too tired, don't force yourself to accompany me, just take a good rest."

Zhao Yunchuan held Fang Huai's hand, gently kissed the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired. I feel at ease to be able to listen to you talk. This little bit of hardship is nothing, as long as you and the child are fine."

Fang Huai's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked up: "But I don't want you to work so hard. Your health is the most important thing. Your health is more important."

Zhao Yunchuan gently hugged Fang Huai into his arms and comforted him softly: "I know you care about me, don't worry, I know what's going on. When I'm done with this busy period, I'll take a good rest and stay with you and the child."

Fang Huai looked at Zhao Yunchuan's increasingly haggard appearance with great concern. He was anxious. He was not a good cook and had no confidence in cooking a nourishing meal for Zhao Yunchuan himself, so he pulled Bai Guihua aside to discuss the matter.

"Mom, you see how tired my husband is lately, and I feel very uncomfortable. My cooking skills are poor, and after thinking about it, I still have to rely on you and Grandma Sun to take more care of it." Fang Huai frowned, his eyes full of anxiety and helplessness.

Bai Guihua patted Fang Huai's hand with concern and said, "Silly child, do you need me to tell you this? Mother loves him too. Just focus on your pregnancy and leave these matters to me."

From then on, Bai Guihua went out before dawn every day and carefully selected the freshest ingredients at the market.

As soon as he got home, he and Mrs. Sun went straight into the kitchen, carefully preparing various nutritious soups and making delicious dishes in different ways.

In the evening, Zhao Yunchuan walked into the house exhausted and was instantly surrounded by the aroma of food.

Fang Huai walked up to him quickly and said distressedly, "My dear, you are finally back. Come on, wash your hands and have dinner. Mother has cooked your favorite dish again today."

At the dinner table, Fang Huai kept serving food to Zhao Yunchuan, and reminded him from time to time: "Eat more and replenish your body. You've been working too hard recently."

It's no wonder that Zhao Yunchuan is losing weight slower than before by eating like this.

Fang Huai expressed his satisfaction.

One evening, Zhao Yunchuan was washing up as usual. He inadvertently looked into the bronze mirror and was stunned by his reflection in the mirror.

He leaned close to the mirror and looked at himself carefully. He gently stroked the increasingly obvious dark circles under his eyes with his fingers. Looking at his haggard self in the mirror, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He subconsciously sniffed the clothes on his body, and his brows instantly wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.

Turning around, he saw Fang Huai sitting by the bed, sorting out the official uniform he would wear tomorrow. Zhao Yunchuan walked over and asked with some helplessness and confusion, "Brother Huai, do you think I smell?"

Fang Huai paused, raised his head, and looked at him blankly, his eyes full of confusion: "Smell? What smell? I don't smell it."

Zhao Yunchuan looked frustrated, sniffed himself again, and explained with a sigh, "It's the smell of work after a busy day in the government office. Can't you smell it?"

Fang Huai tilted his head, thought for a moment, and shook his head, his face more puzzled: "Ban smell? I've never heard of it. What on earth is this smell?"

Zhao Yunchuan sat down next to Fang Huai, his head drooping like a deflated ball. "It's just that I've been busy with official duties for too long. You can't smell the tired and exhausted smell on your body, as well as the smell of pen, ink, paper and sweat... It's such a bad smell."

Fang Huai looked at Zhao Yunchuan's lost and helpless look, couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to pat his shoulder gently: "It's not as exaggerated as you say, I'm with you every day, and I really don't feel any strange smell on you. Even if there is, it's the medal you left for your hard work for the people."

Zhao Yunchuan looked at Fang Huai with a wry smile, gently pulled his hand over and placed it in his palm: "You, you only know how to make me happy. During this period, all kinds of things have been piling up. I have been dealing with officials and farmers from all over the country every day. I am so busy that I am dizzy. I looked in the mirror today and found that I have become so haggard."

Fang Huai gently touched Zhao Yunchuan's face and comforted him, "I know you've been working hard. When you're done with this, let's take a good rest. I'm sure you'll be able to recover."

Zhao Yunchuan nodded gently, hugged Fang Huai into his arms, and rested his chin on the top of his head: "You still understand me. With you and the child here, I think it's worth it no matter how hard it is. But this smell, I guess it will stay with me for a while, but I have to take a good bath today to wash away all the fatigue and smell."

Fang Huai leaned in Zhao Yunchuan's arms, and joked with a smile: "Okay, I'll prepare some hot water for you, and sprinkle some flower petals on it, and then I'll get rid of this 'ban smell' for you."
