Chapter 17: The Feeling of Home
After treating Su Yue, Li Mumu finally walked out of Yunlai Restaurant.
Li Mumu, who was sitting on the ox cart, thought to herself that Qin Jinyan's illness was almost better, and he could rest at home for a day tomorrow.
The injuries on Xiao Yan's body have healed after a few days of recuperation, and when Li Mumu entered the door, he saw Xiao Yan helping Wang Chuntao chop wood in the courtyard.
Xiao Yan stood in the courtyard wearing a single coat with half a sleeve, his clothes soaked with sweat and wrapped all over his body.
You can clearly see Xiao Yan's eight-pack abs and mermaid line, which is much better than those modern fitness trainers.
The bronzed skin glistened in the sunlight, sweat flowed down his cheeks and through the Adam's apple, and finally disappeared by the neckline of the clothes, which, combined with his expressionless face, gave people a sense of forbidden jade.
Li Mumu said that when she came back, she felt that there were always big girls and little daughters-in-law going back and forth at the door of her house, and it turned out that this great god was in trouble.
After many years in the army, Li Mumu has seen more men, but her eyes can't help but be attracted by Xiao Yan!
The proportions of Xiao Yan's figure are just right, with wide shoulders and narrow waist! It belongs to the kind of perfect body that really looks thin in clothes and has flesh in undressing.
And although Xiao Yan bandaged one arm, he could swing the axe with only the other arm, and easily split the firewood in half.
It was obviously such an ordinary thing, but what Xiao Yan did was pleasing to the eye, and even he couldn't help but look at it twice, let alone those women.
"Alright, let's rest for a while! Otherwise, the men of the village should come to you to settle accounts. Li Mumu, who had seen enough, said to Xiao Yan out loud.
Hearing Li Mumu's words, Xiao Yan stopped what he was doing and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Li Mumu found early on that although Xiao Yan often had a cold face and gave people a mature and stable feeling, he was still not very good at communicating with people.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't understand his joke, Li Mumu didn't give him a solution, and directly beckoned him back to the house to sit down.
"Little woodcutter, the toxins on your body have already been cleaned, and the injuries on your body are almost healed, what are your plans for the future?"
Li Mumu later knew Xiao Yan's name, but he still liked to call him a little woodcutter.
When Xiao Yan heard Li Mumu's words, he thought she was chasing him, so he immediately said, "I'll leave tomorrow." ”
"Huh? In such a hurry? ”
Wang Chuntao, who was doing needlework in the house, also walked out of the back room when he heard Li Mumu's words, "Xiao Yan's injury is not completely healed, what are you doing to drive him away?" ”
Although Xiao Yan has been recuperating from his injuries in the past few days, he has been helping Wang Chuntao with his strength in carrying water and chopping wood!
Wang Chuntao intended to test him, so he did not instruct Xiao Yan, and after a few days, Wang Chuntao found that although Xiao Yan had few words, he was diligent and obedient, never lazy, and his good impression of him soared!
At this time, when he heard Li Mumu rushing people, he was the first to stand up and disagree.
"......Forehead" knew that his words had misunderstood them, Li Mumu hurriedly explained: "I didn't want to drive the little woodcutter away, but I see that his injuries are almost healed, and I want to ask him if he has any plans, it is impossible for him to stay at home after his injuries are healed!" ”
"He won't be able to go back to his old home, and if he doesn't have a plan, I can help him find something to do."
It turned out that Li Mumu was not driving himself away, and Xiao Yan's heart was a little happy.
"I'll find something to do myself, but I might have to bother here for a while." Looking at Li Mumu in front of him, Xiao Yan felt that he didn't want to leave.
Since the last time, no one has come to the door, Li Mumu's house is safe for the time being, so let's stay for a while.
"Don't worry, I'll pay the money." Afraid of causing Li Mumu's burden, Xiao Yan added.
"If there are many people and more pairs of chopsticks, you can live here with peace of mind. Go back and clean up the open space at the back of the house, and build another room for you. ”
Li Mumu made up nonsense with Wang Chuntao before, making Wang Chuntao think that Xiao Yan was a poor person whose parents died, and he inadvertently offended the nobleman, so he attracted the other party's pursuit and killing!
At this time, listening to Li Mumu no longer driving people, he hurriedly left people behind.
After a few days, Xiao Yan helped the family work, making the neighbors around him think that he was really Li Mumu's cousin. Wang Chuntao was an outsider back then, and it was normal for one or two relatives to come to the door at this time.
Moreover, Li Shuncai was driven away by himself, and it was good to have a man in the family, which would save some unnecessary trouble.
Li Mumu thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she also agreed with her mother's words, "Forget about the silver, just help my mother do more work if you have nothing to do." ”
"Good!" Li Mumu just said it casually, but Xiao Yan nodded heavily.
Only then did Li Mumu see that the strip of cloth on Xiao Yan's arm was already wet with sweat, so he asked him to go back to the house to scrub it, and he would wait to help him change the dressing.
Hearing Li Mumu say about changing the dressing, Xiao Yan's body stiffened, and the last few changes in the dressing made Xiao Yan feel tormented.
Xiao Yan, who was finally mentally prepared, found that this dressing change was very simple, because Li Mumu found that Xiao Yan's wound had scabbed, so he didn't bandage it anymore after re-disinfecting him.
"No, you can just apply the medicine yourself every day in the future." Li Mumu handed the medicine in his hand to Xiao Yan.
In the future, Li Mumu will not give himself medicine, Xiao Yan is a little disappointed about this, and secretly sighs that his injury is a little too fast.
didn't pay attention to Xiao Yan's careful thoughts, after changing the medicine, Li Mumu walked out of the house and went to Wang Chuntao to discuss the night's food, and after working for several days, Li Mumu planned to make some delicious treats to treat herself.
Li Mumu and Wang Chuntao were busy all afternoon, and during this period, they did not forget to instruct Xiao Yan to fetch water and firewood for themselves!
Although they were instructed to turn around, Xiao Yan felt very happy, and with their mother and daughter, there was a feeling of home.
As night fell, Li Mumu and Wang Chuntao finally prepared the last dish and came out of the kitchen.
There were six dishes on the table, although five of them were vegetarian dishes, but what Li Mumu made was full of color, flavor and flavor. The only stewed pheasant was Xiao Yan's impromptu suggestion and went to the mountains to fight back.
After everything was cleaned up, the three of them sat at the table and were ready to start eating, but an annoying voice came from the door......
"I'm back! Open the door to Lao Tzu! ”
It turned out that Li Shuncai, who had been away for many days, came back.
Hearing Li Shuncai's voice, Wang Chuntao glanced at Li Mumu crampedly, and hurriedly got up and planned to open the door for Li Shuncai.
"Mother, you sit! I'm going to open the door. ”
Li Mumu pressed Wang Chuntao back on the stool to do it, then got up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing that it was Li Mumu who opened the door, Li Shuncai was a little scared for a while! The scene of the last beating is still in front of me.
But thinking that he had brought a helper this time, he became bolder.
"Why is it so slow? Let Lao Tzu wait at the door for a long time. He pushed Li Mumu aside, and then swaggered into the courtyard, followed by four or five ruffian-looking men......
