Chapter 49 Mom, the rabbit bites me

Cheng Huai quickly returned to the bullock cart with a stern and dignified expression. He hugged Jiang Miao and sat on the far side, not letting her get close to anyone else.

Jiang Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she didn't refuse and held his arm and sat firmly.

The man stared at her silently for a while, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Are you okay?"

Jiang Miao shook her head and said with a smile on her face: "I'm fine. You were very powerful just now. You scared the thief right away."

She didn't even get a kick when she stretched out her legs, so the rough man carried her whole body into his arms and protected her, and the small purse was naturally safe.

Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip and moved his arm towards her without leaving a trace, allowing her to grab it better.

Jiang Miao was dumbfounded, the rough man felt so secure.

On the bullock cart, everyone calmed down and started chatting.

Aunt Zhang put the shoulder pole on the bullock cart and said in a loud voice: "Cheng Huai reacted quickly and restrained the thief in a snap!"

"That's natural. Cheng Huai is the strongest in our village. Who can beat him? He is also the best at work!" A middle-aged man next to him agreed.

As soon as she heard someone talking to her, Aunt Zhang became more interested and said, "Jiang Miao married well. Cheng Huai hugged her right away just now."

As he said this, many people cast their eyes over him, with a hint of joking and ridicule.

Seeing that Jiang Miao seemed shy, a woman asked with a smile: "Jiang Miao, Cheng Huai is so good to you, when will you give him a baby?"

"How long have we been married? Even if Cheng Huai gets married again, he won't be so quick!" Another man answered.

Soon, many people on the oxcart started laughing, and some younger women blushed upon hearing this.

Cheng Huai's face darkened, and when he saw that most of Jiang Miao's cheeks were red, he reached out to cover her ears.

People in the village like to make dirty jokes like this when they get to know each other well.

Jiang Miao turned her head slightly, knowing that he was probably afraid of her embarrassment and shyness, so she did not grab his hand, but let him cover it like this.

Although you can still hear what others are saying, you can pretend not to hear, so you don't feel shy.

After going home and resting for a while, Cheng Huai went to the village chief's house to help. Jiang Miao cleaned the house, and then took Dabao and Xiaobao to the yard to watch the chickens and rabbits.

The two cubs are easy to take care of, and you can watch chickens and rabbits all morning through the wooden railing.

After Yu Ying came back from washing clothes, she started to cook. For lunch, she had scrambled eggs with leeks, braised meat with eggplant and melon, and made a bitter melon soup.

I also stewed some meat for the two children, stewed the meat until it was completely mashed, and mixed it with rice paste for them to eat together.

Jiang Miao didn't like to eat bitter things, so she stopped eating her chopsticks after taking two sips of the soup. Instead, she ate a lot of braised eggplant and melon meat.

She taught this dish to Yu Ying a few days ago. With the addition of braising, the eggplant and melon became soft, glutinous and delicious, and the meat was not greasy.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Li Guihua from down the slope came to the house and asked Yu Ying to learn embroidery together.

Jiang Miao didn't have anything else to do, so she sat beside him and studied for a while. It wasn't until Dabao and Xiaobao woke up that they took them to play in the vegetable field behind.

She couldn't find the earthworms. In such dry and cracked soil, unless you dug into the ground with a hoe, you couldn't usually find earthworms.

Jiang Miao had no choice but to take them to feed the rabbits.

The rabbit seems to have grown a lot during these days, and is obviously fatter than before. It is jumping back and forth in the cage, and is not very afraid of the big and small babies. It is probably because I feed it every day, it has become bolder.

In the afternoon, Cheng Huai still came home very late. The trouser legs rolled up to his knees were slightly wet. He thought he had accidentally gotten them while filling the room with water.

Fortunately, the weather was hot and it was okay to get wet. Jiang Miao brought him water and fanned him with a cattail leaf fan.

After fanning for a while, Cheng Huai took the cattail leaf fan over and pulled her to sit on the bench. He waved the fan handle with his long arms, so that both of them could feel the wind.

Dabao and Xiaobao were led by Yu Ying and came in from the back. When they saw Cheng Huai, they called daddy one by one, and then they threw themselves on Cheng Huai's lap.

Yu Ying smiled and walked in behind the two children, "I'm back, the food is almost ready."

"I'll get the bowl." Jiang Miao stood up.

Cheng Huai put down the cattail leaf fan, took the big and small babies and sat them down on the low stool for them to eat.

Yu Ying put the rice paste in front of the children, looked at Cheng Huai and said: "There are two more dishes in the kitchen. You go and bring them over with Miao Yatou."

"Okay." Cheng Huai turned around and went to the back.

Seeing that Jiang Miao had taken three bowls and wanted to serve the dishes, she walked over and picked up both bowls of dishes.

Jiang Miao turned her head and faced his concerned but silent expression, and couldn't help but feel satisfied and at ease in her heart.

"Cheng Huai, are you tired today? How many trees did you chop down?"

"Five." He replied in a calm voice.

Although I went early today, I went to help carry the trees down the mountain later, so I didn't cut much.

But the few he chopped were almost as much as a normal person would take in a day.

Jiang Miao didn't know how much to chop was too much, but the rough man must be the most capable. She said seriously: "It's so powerful, I don't think I can chop off one in a day."

Cheng Huai took a long look at her thin arms and legs, pursed his lower lip and said nothing.

Jiang Miao could clearly feel the man's swaying eyes, so she stretched out her hand to tug at the hem of his clothes, and deliberately scratched his strong waist with her fingers.

The rough man's body stiffened, and his eyes suddenly became honest.

Jiang Miao pursed her lips and smiled, then retracted her hand and went into the house to eat with him.

After dinner, I had no time to spare. I watered the vegetables in the vegetable field and built a few wooden frames to hold the loofah vines. Jiang Miao was helping Cheng Huai.

"Mom, rabbit bite me!" Dabao ran towards this side with his right hand raised, as if he wanted to show Jiang Miao.

Bitten by a rabbit?

Jiang Miao hurried over and held Dabao's hand and looked at it. The child's fingers were tender and white. They were red after being bitten by a rabbit, but the skin was not broken.

She touched the little boy's finger and said, "It's okay, Dabao, don't put your hand in next time."

"Mom, Huhu."

Facing the little boy's red and aggrieved eyes, Jiang Miao knelt down and blew on him, "Hoo ho, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Dabao immediately grinned, turned around and ran back to see the rabbit.

Soon, Xiaobao also ran over, raised his hand to Jiang Miao, and then shouted one word: "Mother."

Jiang Miao laughed dumbly, held his hand and looked at it, "You were bitten by a rabbit too?"

Xiaobao shook his head honestly, but still raised his hand.

Jiang Miao had no choice but to give him a few breaths, and Xiaobao immediately ran away happily.

After holding the loofah vine, Cheng Huai walked over with a sullen face and said with amusement, "No need to coax them."

Jiang Miao turned to look at him and laughed, "It's okay to coax the child."

Zaizai, who did nothing wrong and didn't lie, and who is obedient and asking for help, is really very likable.

Cheng Huai stopped talking and went out carrying the barrel.

When she was washing her hands, Jiang Miao saw a few blood stains on his fingers and immediately grabbed him to go back to the house to find ointment to apply on him.
