Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

He reached out to touch her face before getting up to find clothes to shower.

Fang Hong slept in a daze, feeling as if something was crawling on her face. When she struggled to open her eyes and touched her face, she saw nothing. She shook her head, put on her shoes, and got out of bed.

Looking at the sky outside the window, she thought it should be time for Mr. Xie to get off work.

“Wife, be careful.” Fang Hong had just walked to the room’s entrance when she nearly collided with Xie Jun coming in.

Xie Jun reacted quickly and held onto his wife.

“Mr. Xie, you’re off work. Why didn’t you wake me up?” Fang Hong looked at her husband, still damp from the shower, likely just out of the bath.

“You were sound asleep, so I didn’t want to disturb you. You’ve been looking very tired lately.” Xie Jun lovingly touched the dark circles under her eyes.

“Oh, I must be tired from trying to get used to the food while talking with clients.” Fang Hong did indeed have a hard time adjusting to the cuisine there.

“Wife, I’m sorry for causing you so much hardship. It’s because I’m useless that you have to work so hard.” Xie Jun’s monthly allowance wasn’t high, and he had to support a big family.

“What are you talking about? We’re in this together, right? You’re working hard, and of course, I have to try to catch up with you.” Fang Hong softly looked at her husband and smiled.

“Yeah, let’s work together to make our life better.” Xie Jun thought about how his silly wife had always had a hard life with him.

“Is Xiao Jie on vacation?” Fang Hong had been so busy lately that she couldn’t remember when her son’s holiday was.

“Yes, he’ll be back the day after tomorrow.” Xie Jun thought about how his son always lived at school and rarely came home. Now the three of them were each in different places and could only occasionally get together.

“That’s good. I don’t have any work trips for a while, so our family can have a good reunion.” Fang Hong had just secured the client, so she had nothing else to do but provide after-sales service.

“That’s great. I haven’t seen you in so long, wife. I missed you.” Xie Jun and his wife had always had a great relationship, and they hadn’t been separated for this long in many years.

“I missed you, too. Are you hungry? Let’s eat.” Fang Hong said shyly, quickly changing the subject.

“Hehe.” Xie Jun looked at his wife’s bashful expression, his heart itching.

But he knew now wasn’t the time, so he decided to eat first.

“Great, I haven’t tasted my wife’s cooking for so long. I’ll finally have good food today.” Fortunately, Xie Jun didn’t go to the cafeteria for dinner today; otherwise, no one would have eaten the food his wife cooked.

“Stop talking and eat.” Fang Hong noticed that every time she went on a trip and came back, her husband would change in one way or another, always for the better. For instance, he had become much better at sweet-talking.

She would often hear sweet words and love talk she had never heard before. Is this what Qin Xue meant by “absence makes the heart grow fonder”?

However, Fang Hong thought the feeling was not bad, as it brought her and her husband closer together, and their relationship was better than ever.

Perhaps no matter how good a couple’s relationship is, a little distance is necessary, because it is needed to learn what it means to miss someone.

In Fang Hong’s view, this was the perfect way to keep someone’s interest, especially for newlyweds or new couples, because it made them want what they couldn’t have.
