Cheng Jingmo woke up around two o'clock in the middle of the night.
At this time, he was completely awake. He opened his eyes and recalled today's events. His memory stopped at the scene of those people returning to him.
As for how he entered the house and why he was wearing only a pair of underwear, he had no memory at all.
In the quiet space was the sound of Yu Xiangnian's even breathing.
He reached out and touched Yu Xiangnian. She was sleeping soundly and had no reaction.
At this moment, Cheng Jingmo felt very happy and satisfied.
He turned over and held her in his arms.
It seemed like he didn't hear Xiaojie's breathing. He moved his hand inside, but there was no one there.
However, he is not worried.
Yu Xiangnian slept so peacefully, which meant that Xiaojie was fine. He probably slept with Lao Liu.
He couldn't help but kissed Yu Xiangnian's forehead, but Yu Xiangnian still didn't respond.
Cheng Jingmo's hearing was very sensitive, and there was a soft moan from a woman in the next room, coming from Cheng Shuansuo's house.
He understood immediately.
This is in the middle of the night!
Then I thought about it, this sound insulation effect can only be done after everyone is asleep.
Cheng Jingmo was also a little eager, but he didn't want to disturb Yu Xiangnian's sleep.
He could only hold the person in his arms tighter and kiss her face a few more times.
Yu Xiangnian was still disturbed. In his sleep, he raised his hand and slapped Cheng Jingmo right on the chin.
"Don't bother." Yu Xiangnian muttered, turned over and continued to sleep.
Cheng Jingmo touched his chin where he had been hit, and the corners of his mouth raised silently.
The sky was still gray, so he got up to fetch water.
Yu Xiangnian hasn't taken a shower in two days, so he must be very uncomfortable.
I picked up water three times and filled the water tank at home. I picked up water again and put it in a pot to boil bath water.
The family members are getting up one after another, and they all go to the fields to earn work points. Usually, the fifth and sixth children are left to cook at home.
Mu Huanzhen said: "There is a lot of work in the fields to pick up babies, so you can come too."
Cheng Jingmo knew that early April was the wheat planting season here, and it was quite busy digging the ground, laying ditches, and sowing seeds.
Before he joined the army, he was busy in the fields from morning to night every year.
It was only after he arrived in Nancheng that he learned that wheat in the south was sown around October.
He was silent for a while and said, "Mom, tomorrow. I still have some things to do. I'll finish them today. I'll go to the fields tomorrow."
Mu Huanzhen pursed her lips, looking unhappy, and then said, "Then let your wife prepare the meal and we will come back to eat."
Cheng Jingmo said without hesitation this time, "She can't cook."
Mu Huanzhen was even more dissatisfied, "Then how do you usually eat?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "I'll call back from the cafeteria, or I'll do it."
Cheng Huazi smoked a dry cigarette and answered, "Zhaoba, although you have married an official's daughter as your wife, you can't spoil your wife like this. You have to do the same thing! Look, everyone is up, She's still asleep, what does it look like!"
Cheng Jingmo's expression remained unchanged, and no one could tell his inner thoughts.
"Yu Xiangnian has never done housework since she was a child, and she won't know how to do it if she is asked to do it. Let her fall asleep and I will do the housework."
Mu Huanzhen glared angrily, and Cheng Huazi knocked his tobacco stick in the corner, making a loud noise.
Li Cuihua smoothed things over and said, "Mom and dad, my sister-in-law looks delicate at first glance. She definitely won't do such rough work, so let's forget it."
Zhang Hongli snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law is a good person, but our family can't afford to support idle people!"
Li Cuihua responded, "She will only be free for a month at most. She won't even be able to see her in person in the future, so why bother with her."
Cheng Shuanshuo also drove away in time, "It's time to leave for work, everyone, let's go!"
The six people took the tools and walked out with different thoughts.
Yu Xiangnian was lying on the bed, feeling uncomfortable.
Everyone was making a lot of noise outside. She was woken up and listened to everyone's words.
She could understand how hard it was for rural people to earn a few work points, but Cheng Jingmo's family was too calculating.
They stayed at home for a month at most, and they all planned to let one of them earn work points and the other do housework!
After everyone left, Yu Xiangnian got up.
Cheng Jingmo said like a normal person: "I'll boil the water. Do you want to take a shower first? Or have breakfast first?"
Yu Xiangnian also pretended to be fine, not wanting to embarrass Cheng Jingmo.
"There's no place to take a shower, how can I take a shower?"
Cheng Jingmo said, "I've made room for you."
Yu Xiangnian followed Cheng Jingmo to a very low house.
"There's not even a door, how can I take a bath?" Yu Xiangnian was shocked.
Cheng Jingmo said, "I'll stand guard at the door. You can make do with it."
Cheng Jingmo brought the big basin, soap, and towels he bought yesterday, and poured hot water into the basin.
Yu Xiangnian took a shower and asked, "Cheng Jingmo, what was this house used to do?"
"Cattle pen."
Yu Xiangnian said: "..." and then chuckled, "Unexpectedly, I am lucky enough to share a room with a cow."
Cheng Jingmo: "..."
"You don't even have a bathhouse here. How do you usually take a bath?"
Cheng Jingmo replied: "I won't wash it."
Refreshing Yu Xiangnian’s knowledge again!
"So, you didn't take a shower until you were seventeen?"
Cheng Jingmo said: "I usually go to the reservoir to wash."
"Is there a reservoir?" Yu Xiangnian said curiously, "Then take me to see it."
"good."
After Yu Xiangnian finished taking a bath, Cheng Jingmo asked Xiaojie to take a bath again, and finally took a bath himself.
Then, he started washing the clothes he had changed and Yu Xiangnian's shoes.
When Cheng Huazi and the others went home for lunch, they saw Cheng Jingmo washing a large pile of clothes.
But Yu Xiangnian was in the room, not knowing what to do.
Cheng Huazi was so angry that he threw away his hand and walked past Cheng Jingmo with his head held high, "You're worthless!"
Cheng Shuansuo smiled sarcastically, "Brother Zhiwa, you even wash your clothes. Are you looking for a wife or an ancestor?"
Cheng Jingmo ignored him.
Breakfast was made by fourteen-year-old Cheng Shuanqin.
Steamed buns mixed with sorghum, a pot of mixed vegetables and a plate of pickles.
Each person holds a steamed bun in his left hand, some vegetables in his right hand, and eats it as he goes.
Yu Xiangnian couldn't get used to eating, and Xiaojie couldn't get used to eating either. Cheng Jingmo saw it all.
After lunch, the family went to the fields again.
Cheng Jingmo moved the bedding in the house to the courtyard to bask in the sun, and then said to Xiang Nian, "I'll take you for a walk."
The main reason is that I want to take Yu Xiangnian to the supply and marketing cooperative so that she can go shopping alone in the future.
When the two walked into the village, they attracted everyone's attention.
It is said that the baby picker found a fairy as his wife, and it is true!
They have never seen a prettier woman than the daughter-in-law who picked up the baby!
Her skin is white and tender, her facial features are exquisite, and she smiles slightly when she sees people.
She looks even better when she smiles, her eyes are curved like the moon in the forest, and a small pear dimple at the corner of her mouth adds a bit of playfulness.
There were people watching and admiring all the way.
Cheng Jingmo was particularly proud.
After going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, Cheng Jingmo took Yu Xiangnian to find someone to make a set of quilts, but it would take five days to complete.
On the way home, Yu Xiangnian asked: "Cheng Jingmo, what is your relationship with that Dong Ju from yesterday?"
