When he got home, the first thing Duan Mingjie did was brush his teeth.
For the first time, I used Lu Yao’s toothpaste.
In this era, rural people couldn't afford toothpaste, and there was no one to sell it. Lu Yao's toothpaste was sent by her mother's family. Because it was rare, Duan Mingjie's family never used her toothpaste.
Lu Yao stayed with him quietly.
She knew that he must have heard Liu Yuyan's words.
Duan Mingjie brushed it again and again. Gradually, Lu Yao found that his strength was getting stronger and stronger, and he had no intention of stopping.
Lu Yao stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Okay, it's clean, no need to brush."
It bleeds if I brush again!
Duan Mingjie shook his head, "If it's dirty, brush it again."
Lu Yao's eyes turned red, and her throat felt like a ball of cotton had been stuffed, making it uncomfortable.
She stared straight into Duan Mingjie's dark eyes, with a command in her tone, "Rinse your mouth."
"Yao Yao."
Duan Mingjie called her name.
Lu Yao's eyes were firm, "I said rinse your mouth!"
Duan Mingjie quickly picked up the teapot and rinsed his mouth. When he spit it out, Lu Yao saw a trace of red.
Lu Yao sniffed, snatched the teapot from his hand, put her arms around his neck, and handed it to him with her small, bright red lips.
Duan Mingjie's pupils suddenly dilated. He held Lu Yao's shoulders and said, "Yao Yao, don't be dirty."
Lu Yao, however, refused to let go. She hugged his neck tightly and pressed him down to make it easier for her to kiss.
Lu Yao's kiss was haphazard, her tongue was blocked several times by Duan Mingjie when she tried to penetrate it. Lu Yao bit his lower lip and looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
Duan Mingjie's head buzzed, his big hands moved down, hugged her waist, and kissed her.
Compared to Lu Yao, Duan Mingjie's kiss was gentler. He licked the girl's soft lips bit by bit, and gradually inserted the tip of his tongue. Their lips and teeth were intertwined. Duan Mingjie didn't let her go until Lu Yao couldn't breathe.
Lu Yao's mouth was red and swollen from his kiss, and it looked like she had been ravaged by a man. Duan Mingjie couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her again.
After the kiss, Duan Mingjie saw two lines of clear tears falling from the girl's eyes, leaving two zigzag lines on her delicate skin.
Duan Mingjie suddenly panicked.
"young married woman......"
There was a vibrato in his voice when he spoke.
Lu Yao raised her hand and beat him on the chest, "Duan Mingjie, I hate you!"
After saying that, Lu Yao burst into tears.
Duan Mingjie stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Lu Yao's fist landed on Duan Mingjie's chest again and again, but Duan Mingjie stood and let her hit him without saying a word.
All he could think of was Lu Yao saying she hated him.
Why would you kiss him if you hate him?
Tired from the beating, Lu Yao lay on Duan Mingjie's shoulders, hugging his stiff body, "Why do you always believe others but not me."
Her voice was choked, weak and fragile, "I have tried very hard to express my feelings for you, but you just don't believe it."
An indescribable emotion surged in Duan Mingjie's heart, sour and mixed with sweetness. His stiff body softened little by little, and the hands hanging on both sides slowly climbed up to her shoulders and hugged her tightly.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry."
Lu Yao punched him in the back, "It's like this every time. I say sorry every time, but you never change! Duan Mingjie, I will be tired too."
Duan Mingjie rested his chin on Lu Yao's shoulder and rubbed his cheek against her neck again and again, "I promise there won't be a next time."
That's what he said, but Lu Yao knew very well that if he encountered the same problem in the future, he would still overthink it. Only when he becomes stronger in the future and leaves Duanjiacun, a place of right and wrong, can he completely change.
Lu Yao said angrily, "You'd better keep your word. Next time, you'll move to the main room to sleep!"
Duan Mingjie kissed the soft flesh behind her ear and said in a low voice, "Okay."
He will never do it again.
In the afternoon, after sharing the pork, Gu Fulan made a meal of dumplings without waiting for the New Year.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingming went to the kitchen to help her.
Gu Fulan said to Lu Yao, "When you get sick, take more rest to avoid backache."
Lu Yao: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you sit down for a while."
Duan Mingming looked at Gu Fulan sadly, "Mom, that's not what you said to me. I told you that I was pregnant and asked you to wash my clothes, and you scolded me for being a semen."
Lu Yao: "..."
Gu Fulan glared at her and said, "I didn't wash your sister-in-law's clothes. If you are jealous, marry a man and ask him to wash your clothes. I won't wash them for you anyway."
Duan Mingming pursed his lips.
Lu Yao winked at Duan Mingming, "Next time, tell me and I'll ask your third brother to wash it for you."
Duan Mingming forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Third brother will beat me to death."
Lu Yao: "..."
Gu Fulan was making dumplings while talking to Lu Yao, "Yao Yao, Mingjie just feels bad, but he cares about you very much. Don't be the same as him."
She saw the two of them arguing in the yard.
Gu Fulan sighed. Not to mention others, even she felt that the third child was not worthy of Lu Zhiqing.
Lu Yao scratched her head in embarrassment, "Mom, it's okay, I don't mind."
Gu Fulan sighed, "You are a good boy. Our family got such a good wife like you because of the smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. This New Year's Eve, I must burn some more paper money for my ancestors to thank them."
Lu Yao couldn't help laughing.
"Then you talk to your ancestors and find a good wife for your second brother."
Gu Fulan stopped and thought about it seriously, "I think it will work."
Lu Yao: "..."
She just said it casually, but you took it seriously.
The happiest thing about eating dumplings is the two children at home.
Duan Zhiwei's little mouth was full, "Since I got married, my grandma has been making delicious food every day. I like you, my aunt!"
Lu Yao couldn't help pinching his bulging cheeks, "You can say sweet words like this at a young age. It's amazing when you grow up."
Duan Mingjie glanced at him sideways, "Your father is not as eloquent as you."
"If my father wasn't so eloquent, would he be able to marry my mother? Uncle, don't lie to me just because I haven't met my father!"
Lu Yao burst out laughing.
Seeing his wife smiling happily, Duan Mingjie was also happy and was too lazy to argue with the brat.
