Cheng Jingmo asked Yu Xiangnian to shine a flashlight and smear cool oil on her red envelope.

It's a yellow balm that smells a little pungent, and it's cool and not as itchy as it was just now.

After wiping, Cheng Jingmo let Yu Xiangnian sleep, took off his clothes, and only wore a pair of shorts.

Yu Xiangnian was surprised and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”

"Let the fleas bite me."

Yu Xiangnian laughed silently, "It's useless for you to do this, the fleas will still choose me to bite." ”

Cheng Jingmo: "? ”

"It likes fine skin and tender meat."

Cheng Jingmo said: "Try it first, and I'll buy a potion tomorrow to sprinkle it." ”

After such a toss, the two of them no longer felt sleepy, and lay on the bed with their eyes closed.

Sensing that Cheng Jingmo was not asleep, Yu Xiangnian tentatively touched his abdominal muscles.

For those who exercise all year round, those abdominal muscles feel really good to the touch.

Cheng Jingmo also touched her with her, and from time to time he also touched her smooth little hands.

I don't know when I fell asleep, Yu Xiangnian was woken up by the knock on the door.

When I opened my eyes, I saw her and Xiaojie on the bed.

Yu Xiangnian got up and opened the door.

Zhang Hongli, Cheng's daughter-in-law, stood at the door and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the family held a banquet for you today, and the neighbors have been busy for a long time, so you should get up." ”

Yu Xiangnian's little face turned red when she said this, and she glanced at the courtyard.

Sure enough, there were a few middle-aged women, some were chopping vegetables, some were washing vegetables, and everyone's eyes were looking at her in unison.

Yu Xiangnian hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I overslept." ”

"Hurry up and help." Zhang Hongli said.

"Oh." Yu Xiangnian asked, "Where is the toilet?" ”

Zhang Hongli pointed outside the wall, "Outside." ”

Yu Xiangnian took two pieces of toilet paper, walked through the small courtyard, smiled kindly and awkwardly at the women who came to help, and walked outside.

The women who came to help looked at her and whispered.

"Tut-tut! It's a blessing to pick up a baby, and it's the same as a fairy to find a daughter-in-law! ”

"He looks really handsome, it's the appearance of this fine skin and white meat, it's not easy to give birth to at first glance!"

"No, it's been more than a year since the baby was married, you see that her belly is still flat."

“······”

Everyone's discussion was interrupted by an exclamation, just as everyone wondered what was going on.

I saw Yu Xiangnian running out of the toilet and panicked.

Just when Cheng Jingmo came back with a load of water, Yu Xiangnian seemed to have seen a savior, and ran up to pull his clothes.

"Cheng Jingmo, I stepped on a maggot! Huh······!!! ”

She danced as she spoke, as if the ground was burning her feet.

When the women of the courtyard heard this, they burst into laughter.

Cheng Jingmo held the burden on his shoulders with one hand, and put one hand on her shoulder, patting her shoulder to comfort her.

"Wait until I'm cleaned up before you go in."

Yu Xiangnian's goosebumps all over his body hadn't gone down at this time.

When she went into the toilet just now, the stench made her just cover her mouth and nose, and she didn't pay attention to her feet, but she still heard the sound of "click", so she lowered her head.

At first glance, there were a lot of maggots wriggling on the ground, and there were also at her feet.

The "click" sound was the sound of maggots crushing and bursting on the soles of her feet.

She screamed and ran out.

At this time, she reacted and lost her temper just now.

She pursed her mouth aggrieved and embarrassed, "My shoes are dirty, you have to wash them for me." ”

"Okay." Cheng Jingmo said, "I'll pour the water into the tank first. ”

Cheng Jingmo walked into the courtyard with water, and when he passed in front of the women, he stood up and bowed slightly, "Thank you sisters-in-law." ”

Women: "Where is it?"

Yu Xiangnian followed Cheng Jingmo into the courtyard, Cheng Jingmo went to pour water, Yu Xiangnian smiled at the women, and generously introduced himself, "Sisters-in-law, hello, I am Cheng Jingmo's daughter-in-law, Yu Xiangnian." ”

The women also smiled and said, "Hello, hello." ”

Yu Xiangnian said: "I made everyone laugh just now. ”

The women did not admit and laughed, "No, no, no." ”

Cheng Jingmo put away the flat shoulder and bucket, and took Yu Xiangnian back to the room.

Cheng Jingmo asked, "Why did you get up?" ”

At this point, Yu Xiangnian is still asleep.

Yu Xiangnian said: "I woke up when I heard a sound outside." ”

"The supply and marketing cooperatives are only opening now, I'll go buy those things first, you take off your shoes, I'll wash them at night."

Yu Xiangnian looked at Cheng Jingmo's sweaty appearance, sweating more than usual.

"How much water did you pick?" She asked.

"Five trips." Cheng Jingmo said, "I'll clean the toilet, and you will come out in five minutes." ”

After Cheng Jingmo went out, Yu Xiangnian took off his shoes in disgust and threw them into the corner.

Xiaojie also woke up, Yu Xiangnian looked at his watch, eight o'clock.

Cheng Jingmo has already picked up five trips to the water and came back, so he didn't get up around six o'clock.

So to speak, he only slept for two or three hours last night.

Yu Xiangnian washed up, grabbed a handful of candy and distributed it to the women, and took a low stool to sit on and pick vegetables with them.

The weather was quite cold, and Yu Xiangnian wore a newly bought dark gray cotton jacket.

Xiaojie hasn't gotten acquainted with the children at home yet, and he also accompanies Yu Xiang Nian to pick vegetables.

Cheng Jingmo was busy all morning, and the rest of the family was also busy.

It was too dark last night, Yu Xiangnian didn't take a closer look at Cheng Jingmo's home, and now sat down and looked around.

In Nancheng, she has also seen many rural houses, but Cheng Jingmo's house ······ It's hard to put into words.

It can be said that it is the most dilapidated home that Yu Xiangnian has ever seen.

The house was an adobe thatched house, built very low, and the light in the house was very dim, and the wall skin was glued to the wall without a piece.

The main house has five rooms, one is a hall house, and the other four live separately, Cheng Jingmo's parents, Cheng Lianzhu's family, Cheng Liansuo's family and them.

There is also a side room, there are three rooms in the side room, one is the kitchen, and the other two live in the fifth of the Cheng family, fourteen-year-old Cheng Lianqin, and one lives in the sixth and eleven-year-old Cheng Lianliu.

The second and fourth children are already married.

Didn't Cheng Jingmo send money home every month? After so many years, why are you still poor like this?

"Hey, pick up the baby daughter-in-law!"

The person next to her shook Xiang Nian's arm, and her thoughts were interrupted.

A woman looked gossipy, "I heard that picking up the baby is a senior officer in the army?" ”

Official? Cheng Jingmo's level is also counted?

The corners of Yu Xiangnian's mouth twitched, "No, he's just an ordinary soldier." ”

Another woman said, "Look at your hands, you know that you don't do housework often." If he doesn't become a big official, can't you do all these housework? ”

"Huh?" Yu Xiangnian didn't understand.

Whether she does housework or not, what does it have to do with Cheng Jingmo being an official?

The woman explained, "We know that there are special subordinates in the family of the great officials who do the housework!" ”

"It's not a subordinate." Yu Xiangnian corrected and said, "It's Aunt Nanny." ”

After a pause, she added, "There is no nanny at home, and we do all the housework ourselves." ”

The women looked a little disappointed and said, "Look at you, you don't look like you can do housework." ”

Yu Xiangnian: "··· There are not many housework at home, one meal is cooked every day, whoever has time does it, and the laundry is washed in the washing machine. ”
