Chapter 293 Very Strong

The door creaked open a crack, and a small wooden doll slid in through the gap, swaying from side to side.

Lin Ye quickly composed herself, narrowed her eyes, and smiled: "What are you doing now?"

"Can't you tell? I'm giving you something!"

Lu Yun walked in with the puppet and showed it to her.

"This is me. Do I look like you? Handsome, right?"

"It really looks like it, where did it come from?"

Lin Ye took the puppet and stroked its eyebrows and eyes.

Isn't this just like Lu Yun? Head held high, smiling to reveal his neat teeth, hands behind his back, just like when he was standing in the workshop giving a long lecture.

Extremely, extremely arrogant, and handsome.

“My dad carved it for me. He wasn’t going to carve it for me, but I said it was a gift for my wife, so he started carving it before he even ate.”

Lin Ye paused in stroking the puppet, and her face began to flush.

"Why are you like this? Can you please stop troubling Dad in the future?"

"I can't carve myself, but I've given myself to you, so you have to take good care of me."

Lu Yun grinned, tilting his head with a childlike air.

He's so handsome, with fair and clean skin.

Lin Ye looked at his mouth and then thought back to when she fell into the water.

Lu Yun dragged her ashore and shook her anxiously.

"Lin Ye, wake up! Don't scare me! I'm easily frightened!"

"Lin Ye, I have to give you some breathing exercises. Don't blame me, this is to save you."

"Just treat me like a bamboo tube, like an object. Don't treat me like a person. Qingqing said that life is more important than anything else, right?"

"I kissed... no, I crossed the line, don't worry, no one knows."

She had actually woken up earlier, just wanting to see if he was an honest man.

After hearing this later, she found him quite adorable.

She wondered if she should cling to him so she could marry into the Lu family.

Lu Yun really did breathe air into her.

He didn't do anything reckless, focusing solely on blowing air and pressing on her chest and abdomen.

It's very uncomfortable to be pressed down.

She couldn't take it anymore.

So they started talking.

Lu Yun almost collapsed onto her, choking on his breath.

She opened her eyes, pretending to be still half asleep, and saw him staring wide-eyed, his face flushed red with fright.

That concludes my recollection.

Lu Yun was still trying to make her laugh with the puppet: "Little Leaf, what kind of little leaf are you? Are you a mulberry leaf, an elm leaf, or a sycamore leaf? Ah, none of those, you're from Lu Yun's family..."

Lin Ye leaned in and kissed him on the lips.

The puppet landed softly on the soft bedding with a "plop".

That night, Lu Yun finally welcomed his long-delayed wedding night.

It wasn't because of what Lu Qingqing said, but because Lu Yun could see that Lin Ye's injuries hadn't fully healed.

Even if the bruises on the skin have disappeared, the internal wounds won't heal as quickly.

He's also a doctor, how could he not understand?

What's the rush for the wedding night? They're already at home; it's just a matter of time.

So it's been delayed until now.

However, on their wedding night, he realized that he had overestimated himself.

He thought it wasn't gentlemanly of him to be in no hurry because he had never tasted it before and didn't know that the soul-stirring, addictive flavor was so delicious!

The next day, when Lin Ye woke up, she discovered that everyone knew about their consummation of the marriage!

She had no idea how they found out, and even though her back ached and her legs were weak, she tried her best to walk normally.

I just woke up a little late.

How did they know?

Her sister-in-law told her to drink more lotus seed and red date porridge, and Qingqing told her to take some qi-tonifying pills.

Chaoxia asked in a low voice if she could come into the room to tidy up the bedding.

Qiaoxiu came up to help her and asked if her back was really sore as if it were broken!

Good heavens, did they all hear it last night?!

Lin Ye felt like the sky had fallen!

It wasn't until Lu Yun brought in another fish from outside that she realized what was going on!

This guy has two red marks on his neck!

I'm too ashamed to live anymore!

"Hey, we broke another ice hole and caught a big black fish. Xiao Ye, come inside and rest. I'll make you some fish soup."

"Young man, stop stewing it. Let Chaoxia stew it. Didn't you want to teach your second sister-in-law to write? Go inside and write."

Lu Qingqing sent the two of them back into the house.

Zhaoxia carried the fish to the kitchen to stew it.

Feng Xiaowan watched the young couple enter the house with envy. She sighed, touching her belly, and said worriedly, "It's almost the New Year, why haven't we heard from your older brother? This one in my belly is already moving."

Lu Qingqing also stopped smiling.

It seems unlikely that Lu Feng will be coming back for the Chinese New Year this year.

News came from the north that the blockade there was severe, and ordinary people couldn't get through.

The next batch of grain was not transported over.

Ji Canglin wanted to trap and kill the Gu family army.

We're currently at a stalemate, and it's unclear what the outcome will be.

Lu Qingqing had a feeling.

Whether it's a chance for survival or a dead end seems to depend on whether this situation can be broken.

It's almost the New Year.

After the New Year, spring will arrive!

"Qingqing—"

Aunt Li brought over a piece of tofu.

"Oh, Aunt Li, the tofu is just in time! We're stewing fish right now!"

Chaolu's eyes lit up, and she immediately took the tofu and ran into the kitchen.

Aunt Li smiled happily: "This girl has grown quite strong, she's as energetic as a calf."

"Not only is she energetic, but she's also full of vitality. All that eating has paid off," Lu Qingqing said.

They only just discovered how potent the morning dew was.

That day, Lu Yun was harnessing the carriage, with Chao Lu helping out. Some mischievous child outside set off a firecracker, startling Cong Cong. Just then, Chao Xia was holding Xi Bao and watching the big horse in front, and it was about to crash into them.

Lu Yun pulled with all his might, but he used too much force and the reins broke in the middle, scaring everyone so much that their faces turned pale.

Just as they collided, Chaolu grabbed half of the reins, pulling the horse's head so that its hooves rose high into the air and didn't come down for a long time.

This gave Zhaoxia time to react, and she ran to safety with her legs weak.

Chaolu finally lost her strength and loosened the reins, leaving deep bloody marks on her hands.

Congcong has also calmed down.

Chaolu became a great contributor to the Lu family.

When Mo Lang returned, they realized that to restrain a strong, tall, and wild horse like Cong Cong, one would need the strength to lift at least two hundred pounds.

This made Lu Qingqing realize that this little girl had amazing explosive power hidden in her small body.

That day, the family prepared a delicious meal to reward Chaolu.

Chaolu was embarrassed, yet her eyes sparkled with joy, like a little mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, eager to feast, yet also hesitant and cautious, as if something was holding her back.

Everyone took turns using their chopsticks, and they piled her bowl high up.

Then, Lu Qingqing learned that her appetite was actually twice as much as usual.

It's a waste of such a strong girl's talents to just play with the children and cook every day.

So, after discussing it with Feng Xiaowan, Lu Qingqing decided to have her learn martial arts from Mo Lang.
