Chapter 97

Asking for candy from my wife

Author: Mu Shenghua

Hearing her words of concern, Cheng Huai's eyes flashed slightly, he straightened up and covered her with the quilt, "Well, wash with hot water."

After that, he went out steadily.

After returning from the shower, Cheng Huai brought the hand ointment and asked Jiang Miao to apply it to him.

Jiang Miao took some hand ointment and applied it on his fingers, then slowly spread it evenly, "It's cold now. You can apply some when you get up in the morning and work, otherwise you will easily get frostbite in the future."

"Okay, you can apply some too." Following her steps, Cheng Huai took some and applied it to her hands.

He wrapped his hands around hers and rubbed them back and forth, quickly applying them evenly.

The man's rough fingers rubbed against the back of her hand, causing waves of itching and pain.

Jiang Miao pursed her lips and glanced at the back of her hand which was rubbed red. The rough man's way of applying hand cream was really unique.

After blowing out the candles, the two of them fell asleep. Cheng Huai stretched out his legs to pinch her feet, and held his arms tightly around her waist.

In the slightly cool night, Jiang Miao's whole body seemed to be wrapped in a ball of fire.

"Call me when you get up early tomorrow, and I'll take the buns to the village chief's house with you."

"No, just come over for lunch with your mother and the others. I'll bring the steamed buns over."

Seeing that she was still talking, Cheng Huai said again: "It's cold in the morning, so you should sleep more."

"When I finish my work at the village chief's house tomorrow, I'll call someone to dig a well at our house."

Jiang Miao raised her head and faced his strong jaw, "Is there water in the other well?"

"Yes, there are some, but not much, but enough for a family." Cheng Huai replied slowly.

Jiang Miao felt relieved and said, "That's good."

Being hugged warmly by the rough man, Jiang Miao suddenly felt sleepy and soon fell asleep holding him.

On the second day, I was awakened by the chirping of birds. Five other eggs also broke out of their shells. Dabao and Xiaobao were watching the birds in the main room.

Jiang Miao got up, put on her clothes and went out. When she saw two buns left on the stove, she ate them with pickles.

After breakfast, Yu Ying took her clothes and went to the river to wash them. Jiang Miao took her two children behind, and the chickens, rabbits and birds took turns watching.

Yu Ying has been feeding the birds for the past two days, and they have all been fed, but they still can't tell what kind of birds they are.

Jiang Miao sorted the vegetables picked in the morning and took out the dried vegetables to dry.

After drying it again today, you can put it in the cabinet and take it out to cook when there is nothing to eat during the Chinese New Year.

After playing outside for a while, Jiang Miao took her two children into the house, brought out needles and thread, and prepared to embroider the wedding dress.

The date hasn't been set yet, but judging from the rough guy's impatience, she probably won't have to wait too long.

Yu Ying came back from washing the clothes. Seeing that she was not busy with anything else, she and Jiang Miao made clothes together.

It didn't take long for Li Guihua from down the slope to come up and shout, asking them to go have a drink together. If they arrived late, they would have to wait for others to finish eating before eating.

When we arrived at the place, almost everyone in the village came, and there were more than ten tables set up in the yard in front of the new house.

Cheng Huai waved to them in the crowd, and Jiang Miao saw it at a glance, "Mom, Cheng Huai is over there."

Li Dahu was also there, taking a seat for Li Guihua.

Taking the little treasure from Jiang Miao, Cheng Huai stretched out his hand to sweep away the ashes on the red bench, then took out two candies from his arms and stuffed them into her hand, "Aunt Chunhua gave it to her, do you think it's sweet?"

Jiang Miao peeled off the paper and tasted one. It had a sweet maltose taste. "It's very sweet." She was about to put another one into Cheng Huai's mouth, but he quickly dodged it.

The man pursed his lips. Seeing that she liked it, he said, "Here is some food for you. I'll go get a few more."

Jiang Miao gave the candy to Yu Ying. Yu Ying smiled and pushed it back, "If your tooth hurts, you can eat it by yourself."

The two children wanted to eat it, but Jiang Miao didn't give it to them for fear of choking them.

After a while, the food started to be served. Cheng Huai helped serve the food in the kitchen instead of eating with them.

Most of the dishes were vegetarian. The two meat dishes were sold out almost as soon as they were served. However, Yu Ying was quick enough to pick up two pieces of meat and put them into the bowl of ginger sprouts.

Jiang Miao gave Yu Ying a piece and then ate it quietly.

Dabao and Xiaobao had already eaten before they arrived, so they watched them eat, occasionally taking a few bites of rice from Yu Ying's bowl.

After the meal and the ceremony, everyone dispersed. According to what Yu Ying said first, Jiang Miao went to take twenty coins with her, and when she turned around to go back, she saw that Cheng Huai had just finished serving the food.

The rough man came over and stuffed all the candies in his arms into her hand, almost seven or eight.

Jiang Miao quickly put it into her sleeves and raised her hand to wipe the ashes on his face, "When will you eat? Eat more later and come back early after your work."

"We'll eat after they finish." Cheng Huai looked at the table and looked down at her, "Which dish was delicious just now?"

Jiang Miao laughed: "Meat is delicious, please eat more meat."

The dishes on the banquet all taste the same, so it’s better to eat more meat to gain strength.

Cheng Huai nodded, thought of something and said, "I'll go back after eating. Don't be too busy. I'll go back and do the work."

He was afraid that she would faint again, and Jiang Miao felt warm in her heart.

On the way back, I met Zhang Xiu and Jiang Mei. When they saw Yu Ying, they were like a mouse seeing a cat. They turned around and walked away in despair.

Jiang Si also came to have a drink with them. When he saw Jiang Miao, he happily ran over and called: "Sister!"

Then he looked up at Yu Ying and called out obediently: "Auntie."

"You are so sweet. Come to my aunt's house to eat steamed buns tonight." Yu Ying had a kind smile on her face and reached out to touch Jiang Si's head.

Jiang Miao stuffed two candies into his pocket, "My brother-in-law gave them to you."

Jiang Si grinned and covered his pocket, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are so good."

"Go back quickly, don't play outside for too long." Jiang Miao urged with a smile.

There were many people drinking wine today, including from other villages.

Seeing Jiang Si running away happily with the candy in his arms, Jiang Miao looked away, pursed her lips and smiled.

When they got home, Yu Ying took her two children into the house and slept. Jiang Miao went to feed the chickens and rabbits in the backyard, looked at the birds, and went to rest for a while.

When she woke up and heard other people talking outside, Jiang Miao quickly sat up.

Cheng Huai came in from outside and saw that she was awake. He walked over and asked in a low voice: "Is it noisy?"

"Cheng Huai, who is here?" She got up and got out of bed, patting the dust on his clothes.

Cheng Huai picked up the coat on the side and put it on her, "Put your clothes on first, it's cold outside."

Then he added: "Uncle Xiao is here to help us dig a well."

Several wells in the village were drilled by Xiao Wangsheng.

After watching Jiang Miao get dressed, Cheng Huai took off his coat and went to the cabinet to find a shabby dress to put on.

Jiang Miao came over to help him tie his shirt and said softly: "Just hit it in our backyard, it's convenient."

"Yes, that's the plan." The man lowered his head and took a sip on her face, grinning like a cat that had stolen something.

Jiang Miao smiled and touched her face, then went out to make buns with Yu Ying.
