28. Grievances
,!
Chen Qingchuan didn't say anything, he went straight out of the messy hall and walked towards me, I was afraid that he would find me, so I immediately walked back, and when I just arrived at the room, Chen Qingchuan walked in.
I hurriedly sat down on the edge of my chair.
When Chen Qingchuan was angry, I didn't dare to provoke him, I sat there and looked at him with a nervous face, and he naturally saw me peeking there.
Seeing that I was nervous and scared, he pressed the emotion on his face and asked softly, "Have you finished eating the noodles?" ”
I nodded and said, "I've finished eating." Then he picked up the empty bowl and said, "I'll take it to the kitchen and wash it off." ”
But before I walked past him, Chen Qingchuan grabbed me, I was startled and looked at him, he took the bowl from my hand, and then said to me, "I'll wash it." ”
With that, he let go of my hand and went outside.
When he was gone, I patted my chest and pressed my heart to tell myself that I must not make him angry at this time, definitely, definitely.
I also knew that it was not good to be here, I was sitting there a little helpless, and I didn't know what I could do about it.
When Chen Qingchuan came back from the kitchen, his sleeves were about wet and were rolling there.
I immediately got up, went to the suitcase, got him a clean shirt, handed it to him, and said, "If you change it, you'll catch a cold." ”
He glanced at me, I don't know why, I even looked at me with the look he looked at me, it felt like he had the chill when he hit Chen Lin just now, and I was so frightened that I took a small step back.
But it was obviously my delusion, because the next second, he smiled and asked, "What?" What are you surprised about? ”
I reacted, immediately shook my head and said, "No, it's okay." ”
I tucked my shirt into his arms and said, "Go and change it." ”
He hummed and went inside with his shirt.
After he changed his wet clothes, it was already eight o'clock, and he slept early, and almost all the people in the village had slept at seven o'clock, and I was very sleepy, but I hadn't taken a bath yet, and most of the baths here were soaked in wooden barrels, but the bathing place was in the house on the other side, and I was a little afraid and didn't dare to go there.
Chen Qingchuan said: "Let's go, I'll accompany you." ”
I nodded and hurriedly picked up my pajamas.
Because it was dark outside, Chen Qingchuan was afraid that I would fall, so he took me, and when I got to the shower, I went into the bathtub, and he waited at the chair outside.
Outside the window, the moon came in and fell on him.
I soaked in the warm hot water, huddled there and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
When he heard me, he looked at me, and I bowed my head and didn't look at him, just at the sparkling water.
I didn't say anything more, but shrunk back in the water for a while before I said, "If your parents ......."
Before I finished speaking, I felt a shadow pressing on my body, I immediately looked up, Chen Qingchuan approached, he held a bath towel in his hand and said, "Don't soak for too long." ”
And he took me out of the barrel.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and laughed in my ear.
When he heard me laughing, he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
I leaned on his shoulder and said, "Nothing. ”
Chen Qingchuan wiped my body for me, and after it was clean, I took it aside and put it on with my pajamas, but it was very cold, and I didn't put it on for a second, so I immediately shrank in his arms and shivered and said, "It's so cold." ”
He touched my still wet hair, then took me out of the bathroom in his arms and said, "Let's go, go back to the room." ”
When I arrived at the room, Chen Qingchuan hadn't taken a shower yet, but he first laid out the quilt for me, and only after I lay on the bed did he say to me, "I'll take a bath." ”
I lay there staring at him for a moment, then nodded.
He looked up and touched my head before leaving the room.
To tell the truth, as soon as he left, I was a little scared, and I lay there tense, staring at every corner of the room.
The walls are made of adobe, the roof is made of wood, and there are cobwebs hanging on it, and the lamps are the most primitive little bulbs, the lights are dim, and a bunch of small moths are flying around there, and outside the house is the sound of insects and dogs.
The bed is still very hard, even if it is covered with a thick quilt, it is still very hard, although the quilt on the body is thick enough, but the fabric is cold, and it can't warm up the body at any temperature.
I looked up at the top of my head and exhaled.
After Chen Qingchuan came back from taking a bath, he cleaned up the house, and when it was finally cleaned up, he closed the door and went to bed.
As soon as I saw him lying down, I immediately drilled into his arms.
Chen Qingchuan asked, "Is it hot to sleep?" ”
I buried myself in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "It's cold." ”
He took my cold hand that I had placed on his chest to keep warm, and then wrapped me in the quilt, and I lay on top of him, only half of my head was exposed at his chin.
When I felt a lot warmer in my body, I said to him in a muffled voice, "I said I wanted to be your wife, and I will try to overcome it." ”
Chen Qingchuan began to flip through the book before going to bed again, he heard me say this, suddenly stopped the action of turning the book in his hand, he asked: "So these days cooking, well-behaved and obedient, no longer quarreling with me like before, and taking the initiative to get close to me, are you all working hard to be my wife?" ”
Seeing him ask like this, I didn't think about it and replied: "Of course, isn't this what a wife should do, I promised you that I will not break my word." ”
I don't know why, but after my body warmed up, I felt a little drowsy, and my eyelids drooped subconsciously when I said that.
He asked, "You treat your wife as a profession." ”
I replied casually, "Of course, I promised my mother." ”
After Chen Qingchuan finished asking that sentence, he didn't even speak again, I lay on his chest for a while, then looked up at him, and found that although he was reading, his mind didn't seem to be on the book, the warm yellow light shrouded his head, and his expression was a little cold.
I don't know if it's my delusion, I subconsciously asked him, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Chen Qingchuan didn't look at me, turned a page of the book with his fingertips and said, "It's nothing, you go to sleep first." ”
The tone is also a little cold, not as warm as before.
I couldn't guess what was wrong with my answer, but I didn't dare to ask any more, so I rolled over, fell from his arms, and lay down on the other side.
Usually Chen Qingchuan would hug me to prevent me from getting cold, but this time he didn't, still lying there flipping through the books.
I rolled up the cold quilt and thought about it, then closed my eyes and ignored him.
But in the middle of the night, I was woken up by the barking of dogs outside, and my whole body was so frozen, only Chen Qingchuan's side of the quilt was warm, even if my feet shrunk into a ball, it was still as cold as ice.
I still couldn't bear it, so I started to burrow into his arms again.
I don't know if he is asleep or not, so I whispered in his ear: "Brother Qingchuan." ”
Seeing that he didn't answer me, I hugged him more and more cheerfully.
It's good that I didn't wake up, and it was just right for me to hold him as a big stove when I fell asleep.
Leaning on Chen Qingchuan for less than five minutes, I finally fell asleep.
This sleep, when I opened my eyes, it was ten o'clock in the morning, I was sleepy, sitting on the bed and looking left and right for a long time, then I remembered that I had arrived in the countryside, I grabbed my hair and looked at the side, Chen Qingchuan had already gotten up.
I suddenly remembered, isn't it Chen Qingchuan's birthday today?!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly got up from the bed, panicked and wanted to put on my shoes, but who knew that I had just woken up, my head was still dizzy, and the whole person fell to the concrete floor, I covered my ass and screamed.
After scolding his mother, he grabbed the edge of the wooden bed and stood up.
In the unheated room, even the air was as cold as ice, and I quickly wrapped myself in a big cotton jacket, wore cotton slippers, and didn't bother to comb my hair, and hurried out.
But when I got out of the room, I saw Chen Lin coming out of the kitchen with the dishes, looking at me with a cold face.
I subconsciously stopped, thinking to myself whether I wanted to say hello to this nasty ghost.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still stretched out my hand that was shrunk in my sleeve, waved at her, and said with a smile: "Good morning." ”
Chen Lin sneered and said, "I'm sorry, it's noon." She turned her face away and walked down the hall.
Only then did I find out that there were a lot of relatives in the Chen family, and it was full of people, and it seemed that there was a tendency to open a banquet.
As soon as I saw this, I patted my forehead vigorously and scolded myself, Xu Kaiyan, today is his mother's birthday, you don't sleep early, you don't sleep late, why do you want to sleep this morning!
I knew it was a little unpresentable, so I hurriedly went to wash, and after washing, I ran to the kitchen again, Chen Qingchuan was stir-frying in the kitchen, the room was hot, the stove was crackling with firewood, Chen Qingchuan shovel in the pot and stir-frying.
I stood there for a long time, and then I called, "Mother-in-law." ”
When she heard my mother-in-law, she suddenly stopped the spatula in her hand and looked at me, and when she saw me standing there wrapped in a cotton jacket, she was stunned for a second, and when she reacted, she immediately wiped her hands on her apron and asked, "You want breakfast?" ”
I immediately waved my hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm here to wish you a happy birthday." ”
She was a little embarrassed and said, "What's there to wish for here, one life a year." She thought for a moment and said, "Get out of here, there's a lot of smoke here." ”
Naturally, I wouldn't be so ignorant, so I asked, "Mother-in-law, is there anything I need to do?" ”
As soon as I asked this question, Chen Lin walked out of the hall, stood behind me and said, "Yes." ”
I looked back at her, and she pointed to the stove and said, "Burn the fire." ”
Chen Qingchuan was just about to say something, Chen Lin said to her mother: "Mom, since she is my brother's daughter-in-law, she should take care of this meal on an occasion like today, sleep until three o'clock in the morning, what's wrong with letting her make a fire?" Wronged her? ”
I didn't pay any attention to them, and walked straight to the stove, and burned it, who was afraid of whom.
So under the support of Chen Qingchuan and her sister, I shrank under the stove to burn the fire.
But obviously I am inexperienced, several times I have put out the fire in the stove, seeing that it is almost eleven o'clock, the banquet is about to start, everyone is waiting to eat, I put out the fire these times, which made Chen Lin's stomach angry, and asked loudly: "Do you know how to work!" Can't even burn a fire, are you a pig?! "She was so angry that she rushed over and shoved me to the side, and then she took the tongs and moved them in the stove.
I was almost killed by the smoke coming out of the stove, and I was coughing all the time.
Chen Lin saw me squatting there in the way, so he pushed me again and said, "You get out of the way for me!" ”
Just when her words fell, a person suddenly came in from outside the door, it was Chen Qingchuan, and he called out to his sister in a deep voice: "Chen Lin!" ”
Chen Lin thought of the slap yesterday, and didn't look at him at all, just stuffed firewood there.
Chen Qingchuan looked at her coldly and warned her, and then he looked at me who was squatting there with a gray face, I hurriedly stood up, I don't know why I wanted to cry a little.
Chen Qingchuan sighed, walked towards me and dragged me out directly from under the stove.
After I was dragged out of the kitchen, he took me outside, and saw that my face was not washed, my hair was loose, and I was wrapped in pajamas and pajamas in my down jacket.
He asked, "How did you go to the kitchen?" ”
I was angry with Chen Lin, and I held back the grievances in my heart and said, "Who told you not to call me." ”
Chen Qingchuan had probably never seen me so embarrassed, so he pulled up my hand and looked at it again, sure enough, his palms were full of black dust, and he said, "Go wash your hands first." ”
He took me back to the house, poured me some hot water to wash, and took my hands to wash in the hot water.
The black water dissipated in the warm water, and the fingers returned to white and tender, but the tongs were too heavy, and the tiger's mouth was still a little red, and there was a faint tendency to blister.
I'm so aggrieved that I can't do it.
