Get clothes for the wife
After returning home, Cheng Huai ate all the remaining courgettes. He sat on the bench and stared at Jiang Miao with his dark and shiny eyes.
Jiang Miao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she turned her head to look at the tree they had cut down in the afternoon.
My mother said that cutting down a big tree is enough to make a big bed. They cut down two trees, probably planning to make a small bed together.
Yu Ying took out a machete and chopped off all the twigs around the big tree. Jiang Miao saw it, walked to Cheng Huai, picked up the ax at his feet, and chopped with Yu Ying.
Seeing that Cheng Huai wanted to come over and do it together, Jiang Miao pointed to the room and said, "Cheng Huai, go and eat. By the way, see if Dabao and Xiaobao have finished their meal."
He has been tired all afternoon and hasn't eaten yet. He should take a rest.
Yu Ying also nodded and said: "Go ahead and watch them order it. Don't let them ruin the rice cereal."
Dabao and Xiaobao have been a bit picky recently. They don't like rice cereal and are not as well-behaved as they were before.
After hearing this, Cheng Huai bent down and picked up the branches on the ground and carried them to the backyard, then washed his hands and ate.
Seeing Cheng Huai back, Dabao and Xiaobao obediently called Daddy and became more honest about eating.
Cheng Huai looked at the paste in their bowls and ate most of it. Yu Ying will now add some green vegetables or other vegetables to it. When they grow up, they can eat like them or eat pasta.
Cheng Huai quickly finished his meal and drank a bowl of soup, put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and took Dabao and Xiaobao to the yard to eat.
Yu Ying was tired from chopping trees and sat on the edge to rest. Jiang Miao was still chopping slowly with an axe, not very fast, but did not stop.
Cheng Huai walked over and took the ax in her hand, lowered his eyes and looked at her slightly red palm, "You go see the child, I'll come."
The ginger seedlings did not cut down anymore. Seeing that Dabao and Xiaobao were accompanied by their mother, they piled all the chopped branches together so that they could be taken to the backyard to burn firewood later.
The rough man cut the branches very quickly. He lifted the knife and dropped it with such quick movements that the only sound in the yard was the sound of branches breaking.
Seeing Jiang Miao looking at Cheng Huai, Yu Ying couldn't bear to disturb him, and said with a smile: "Girl Miao, mother went to the backyard to boil water. Please take a look at the big baby and the little baby, and stop looking at Cheng Huai."
"Mom, I didn't." Jiang Miao reacted instantly and turned around to look at the two children.
Cheng Huai paused in chopping the branches, turned to look at the ginger seedlings, and then quickly turned back to continue chopping.
After a while, all the branches were cut. Cheng Huai piled them together, stretched out his arms and hugged them all, and carried them to the backyard.
Jiang Miao took Dabao and Xiaobao into the house, closed the door, and saw Yu Ying coming in with water.
"Mom, wash Dabao's face." Dabao sat on a low stool, crossing his feet happily.
Xiaobao followed suit and puffed out his soft cheeks, "Mom, Xiaobao wants it too."
They are becoming more and more intimate with Jiang Miao now, and Jiang Miao also enjoys the coquettishness of the two soft dumplings.
She soaked the handkerchief and wiped Dabao's face first, then rubbed it in the water and then wiped it with Xiaobao.
The two cubs took turns, neither fighting nor grabbing, they were extremely well-behaved.
Yu Ying brought the dried clothes in from the backyard. Looking at the mother and son who were getting along well, her face was full of smiles: "Girl Miao, the water in the backyard is boiled. Go wash it quickly. Leave these two to me.
Come."
"Has Cheng Huai finished washing?" Jiang Miao turned around and asked.
"He said he would let you wash first, and the water has already been lifted into the house for you."
Jiang Miao stood up immediately and hurriedly went to the house to find a change of clothes.
In the backyard, Cheng Huai was feeding vegetable leaves to the rabbit. When he saw the ginger seedlings coming, he walked into the dark room and lit the candle.
He said calmly: "Go and wash, the water is ready."
Jiang Miao hugged her clothes and looked at the house filled with flames, "Thank you!"
I sweated a lot when I went to town today. I just cut down trees for a while. I'm afraid it will stink if I don't take a shower.
It cost money to light candles. Jiang Miao took off her clothes and quickly started washing. The water was neither hot nor cold, which was just right.
After taking a shower, I was about to get dressed, but I realized that I had been in a hurry and had missed the innermost clothes.
Jiang Miao hesitated for a moment, then opened the wooden door and caught a glimpse of the elongated figure under the moonlight. There was a hint of embarrassment in her voice: "Cheng Huai, can you help me get my clothes?"
Cheng Huai turned his head, only a head popped out of the door, but he still didn't dare to look at her, and asked in a thick and hoarse voice: "What clothes?"
"Just... wear the innermost clothes." Jiang Miao secretly bit her tongue, she was really too embarrassed.
She originally planned not to wear them at all, but she felt that it would not be good for the two of them to sleep together at night.
Cheng Huai stiffened and asked in a calm voice: "Where to put it?"
"It's on the first floor of the cabinet. You can see it when you open it. It's red." After Jiang Miao finished speaking, her face felt hot.
Cheng Huai quickly turned around and entered the house. When he opened the cabinet and saw the red bellyband, his usually indifferent face became calmer.
He pursed his lower lip, reached out and grabbed the red bellyband, and quickly walked out of the house with long strides.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Miao stretched out a hand from inside the room without looking outside, "Cheng Huai, give it to me!"
Cheng Huai quickly put the hot object into her hand, and when he saw her fair and slender arms, he felt his whole body heat up.
He suddenly turned around, walked to the chair and sat down. After sitting for less than a moment, he quickly stood up and went to the kitchen to scoop out cold water to drink.
Jiang Miao got dressed, took out all the clothes she had changed and put them in the tub. She didn't see Cheng Huai, so she shouted directly: "Cheng Huai, I'm ready, go and wash it quickly."
"Yes." The man responded in a low voice and walked out of the kitchen with a bucket of cold water in his hand.
When she saw the person, Jiang Miao said nothing more and pointed to another wooden basin: "Put your clothes here later. I will take them to the river to wash them tomorrow."
With that said, she turned around and entered the house.
Cheng Huai glanced at the wooden basin and saw that the clothes she had just changed out of taking a bath were in it, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
Jiang Miao returned to the house. Because Cheng Huai was still taking a bath, the candles in the room were always lit. She didn't feel too sleepy thinking about it. Jiang Miao simply took out the small purse Yu Ying gave her and poured out all the silver and copper plates in it.
, I plan to count them.
Last time I made more than one tael of silver from selling rabbits, and almost one or two taels from selling buns and courgettes. But I spent a lot on buying cloth, and now I still have more than half a tael of silver in my small purse.
Cheng Huai entered the room and saw Jiang Miao lying on the bed counting coins, so he went straight to the cabinet and rummaged through it.
Jiang Miao raised her head slightly doubtfully and saw the man bringing a gray cloth bag. It was not big, but it looked heavy.
"There are five taels of silver and some broken silver copper plates in it." Cheng Huai handed the gray cloth bag in front of Jiang Miao's eyes.
