Chapter 18 Warmth and Affection
"Your hand hurts, I'll wash the dishes." Zhang Zhenan said a word, reached out and pressed An Xiu'er, who was about to get up, on the stool, and went to the kitchen by himself.
An Xiu'er's soft eyes looked at the kitchen, and soon, there was a rustling sound in the kitchen, and a feeling of peace and happiness that she had never felt before slowly emerged in her heart, like a fragrant mist, lingering in her heart.
Remembering that he was not clean after washing, An Xiuer also walked into the kitchen, she watched him wash the dishes, and reminded on the side: "Eh, wipe the edge of the bowl again, and wipe the bottom of the bowl as well...... Hey, put it upside down and fold it according to the size. ”
Zhang Zhenan never thought that there were so many ways to wash dishes, but he had already taken this matter down, so he could only wipe the water on the desk as she said, wipe the stove, wash the cloth, and spread it out to dry.
While it was still early, An Xiu'er simply instructed Zhang Zhen'an to peel off the remaining two bamboo shoots, chop them, and marinate them with salt and vinegar.
Although Zhang Zhenan was a little impatient, he still did what she said one by one, and got a compliment from her, "Your knife work is really good." ”
Well, the all-round good family man probably refers to himself.
When night came, although An Xiu'er's hands were blistered, An Xiuer still lit an oil lamp and sat in the room embroidering, anyway, her fingers were not injured, and it still had no effect on holding needles.
Zhang Zhenan sat outside and blew a cool breeze for a while, feeling that it seemed to have cooled down a little today, the wind was a little strong, and the roof was rattling, Zhang Zhenan drank two glasses of wine by himself, but he didn't feel cold, and when it was not early, he entered the room again, and it happened that An Xiuer received the last shot.
Seeing him come in, An Xiu'er pulled the corner of the handkerchief like a treasure and showed it to him, and asked, "How is it, I embroidered well, right?" ”
When Zhang Zhenan heard her say this, his attention was attracted to the handkerchief, and he saw that the handkerchief was very elegant, surrounded by a circle of small flowers, and each of the four corners was embroidered with an orchid, and the middle was blank, used to wipe his face, but he was not afraid of cutting his skin.
Retracting his gaze, he replied casually, "It's pretty good." ”
"yes, do you like that? Do you want it? An Xiu'er raised her face again and asked.
Seeing that Zhang Zhenan didn't answer, she said again: "If you want it, I'll give it to you, if you don't want it, you can take it to the town and sell it for me, and buy me some silk fabric by the way." ”
"Then you give it to me." Zhang Zhenan said lightly, is he the kind of person who allows his woman to rely on embroidery to subsidize the family, this handkerchief is an unusual thing, if a man buys it, wouldn't it ruin her reputation?
Thinking that he reached out and took the handkerchief in her hand, and when he put it in his arms, he had no intention of passing it to his nose, only to feel a fragrant fragrance, which made people feel a little uneasy.
An Xiu'er was a little depressed, and finally embroidered a handkerchief that took two days to embroider and gave it to Zhang Zhenan, now she can't sell the handkerchief, and she has no pocket money. But when I think about it, I think it's just to coax the child, it's good that he can be happy, and the purpose of his efforts is not to want to live a better and better life.
"Why, you gave me this veil, and you are still reluctant?" Zhang Zhenan looked at her slightly distressed little face, and suddenly felt that her mood was better.
"Nope." An Xiu'er immediately laughed and said flatteringly: "It was originally embroidered for you." ”
"You're good at talking." Zhang Zhen'an's voice sounded very pleasant, and An Xiu'er felt relieved, feeling that he spoke so gently, but in fact, his voice was very charming with a little magnetism.
"I'm telling the truth." An Xiu'er packed up the needlework in the basket and said, "I will make the people I care about, I will make him happy, and I don't care about others." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Zhenan sat on the bed, and it happened that she also packed up her things and turned around, her small mouth was slightly pursed, and her beautiful face still had a hint of childishness, and her small appearance was extremely pure.
Zhang Zhenan turned his face away a little uncomfortably, and suddenly felt his heart pounding, and his cheeks were faintly hot.
"What's wrong with you?" An Xiu'er walked over, Zhang Zhenan didn't speak, fortunately the light was dim, she shouldn't be able to see a touch of crimson on his face.
She sat on the bed, took off her coat by herself, and left a middle coat, Zhang Zhenan turned around, and saw a touch of snow white on her chest, faintly revealing her embroidered belly pocket, and she was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but want to glance over there.
Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency.
Zhang Zhenan silently recited these two sentences in his heart, and suddenly thought that this was his wife, what was rude? But when I think that I think of myself as a husband, I may not be able to be responsible for her, so I should treat her as a lady who lives here with me.
But thinking about it again, if the person who accompanies her in the future is her, it's actually very good, why do you have to guard yourself? He felt a little messy in his heart, so he lay down, put his hands behind his head to make pillows, and looked at the roof.
can't hurt others because of his own desires, self-denial, his future wife must be the person he loves deeply, the person he can really accept with open heart, and he ......
Thinking of a lot of messy things, I couldn't help but look back at An Xiu'er, An Xiu'er happened to also turn her head sideways, and when she saw him, she pursed her lips and smiled with him, those eyes, like stars in the sky, lakes on the ground, quiet and bright, very charming.
He felt a little strange, he was not a greedy woman, but his little wife always made him a little uncomfortable.
It's a little cold tonight, Zhang Zhen'an's quilt is a little thin, An Xiu'er is lying there, this quilt is not wide, it just covers her body, there is always some air leakage on the side, she only feels cold and cold, and she can't sleep.
"Can I sleep a little bit?" In the end, she couldn't stand the cold, so she turned her head sideways and said something to him.
Zhang Zhen'an has always been in good health, and he is also this quilt in winter, but he doesn't feel cold, but when he heard her say this, he heard the wind outside whistling like a ghost crying, so he moved a little inside.
An Xiu'er immediately fell asleep, used the extra quilt on her side to cushion underneath, and wrapped herself in the quilt with her feet, wrapping herself tightly.
Oops, it seems that the movement is a little bigger, and the quilt on his side is also stirred, she hurriedly let go a little, and groped with her hand to cover him.
The hand touched the man's hot body, but the man grabbed her hand, covered the quilt himself, and said, "If it's cold, just sleep a little more." ”
"Hey, okay." An Xiu'er immediately fell asleep, put her hand on his chest, and said, "You are really warm, can you lend me a hug?" ”
Zhang Zhen'an didn't speak, An Xiu'er took him as he agreed, she came over satisfied, put her feet on his legs, and said: "I used to have a big yellow cat at home, and when it comes to cold weather, it likes to sleep with me, it is warm, and I like to sleep with it in my arms in winter." ”
"But then the big yellow cat disappeared inexplicably, it was a female cat, my mother said that it ran away with other cats, I don't believe it." An Xiu'er said with a little frustration.
"But you're warmer than the big yellow cat, and bigger than the big yellow cat, can I still sleep with you in my arms tomorrow? I'm very well-behaved, I just lean next to you and I won't move, and I won't disturb your rest. An Xiuer said again.
Zhang Zhenan finally opened his eyes, looked sideways at the little head under his armpit, and felt that she looked a little like a kitten.
Although she did not move, the hands and legs on him were as if a fire had been lit on him, making his body more and more hot, and his heart was pounding and jumping, and he almost didn't dare to move.
After a while, she seemed to let out a slight breathing sound, and he took her hands and feet away from him, and then quietly got up, and walked to the door alone to blow the cool breeze, and he felt that he needed to be sober.
After the heat on his body slowly subsided, he went back to his room to sleep, but as soon as he lay down, the weak and boneless little hand clinged to him again, and the body that had just cooled down seemed to be ignited in an instant.
Little woman, if you do this again, I will be polite to you, he thought viciously in his heart, but just turned over, took her into his arms, and put his hand up from the hem of her clothes, the cold and silky touch made him almost unable to control himself.
He leaned down and touched her face, he hated his night vision was too good, her little face was immature, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was clearly a little girl who had not grown up.
"Are you awake?" He asked.
An Xiu'er continued to pretend to be asleep, but she trembled lightly, how could Zhang Zhen'an not see it? He could only stop what he was doing and gently kiss her hair, "Sleep." ”
In the end, he was reluctant to let go of this warm fragrant nephrite, although he couldn't be able to dew the golden wind and jade, but this night was also a beauty in his arms, chatting for comfort.
An Xiu'er opened her eyes, raised her little head to look at him, in the dark, she tried her best, and she couldn't see his appearance clearly, she only felt that his hand holding her waist and abdomen was very strong, and felt that his body was very warm, she stretched out her hand, stroked his face gently, and then put her hand under his armpit, hugged him and fell asleep contentedly.
This night, An Xiuer slept very well, when she woke up, there was no one around, she got out of the quilt, the cold wind blew in through the window, and she shivered when she was cold, shivering and putting on her clothes, she still felt a little cold, so she got up and found an old dress from the broken wooden box and put it on.
There was no one in the house, and the fish tank was empty, An Xiuer expected that Zhang Zhenan had gone to sell fish, and she couldn't help but blame herself a little, she didn't make breakfast for him so late today, and after washing, she was too lazy to do it herself, anyway, she ate two meals at home before leaving the pavilion, so she was hungry and moved a stool to sit at the door.
