Chapter 26: Mother and Stepfather Come to Cause Trouble



The bluish-purple hickeys covered her smooth, white skin.

shocking.

After cleaning her up, Leng Lie slapped himself hard.

Three poles in the sun.

He thoroughly cleaned the house, inside and out, until the cement stove was so clean you could see your reflection in it before he stopped.

Grandpa Guan carried his canvas bag, intending to go to work.

"Aren't you going to see Xiaoxi?"

Leng Lie offered to give him his bicycle.

Grandpa Guan waved his hand, "No need, I have a car."

After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Young man, you must learn to control yourself."

No matter how thick-skinned or cold-hearted someone is, they can't stand being teased like this by their elders.

Even Ear Hill is covered in red.

He fled back to his room as if escaping, and behind him he heard Old Master Guan's hearty laughter.

Leng Lie stretched his hand in front of Guan Yuxi's nose.

Seeing that her breathing was steady, I was finally relieved.

"Xiaoxi, wake up."

Leng Lie nudged her, but Guan Yuxi slept soundly without moving an inch.

He was restless in the room, worried that he might disturb her rest, and also worried that he might have been too rough with her the night before and hurt her.

I sat there restless for a long time.

He finally couldn't resist going to the brigade headquarters.

The plump women's director was also a barefoot doctor in Lengjiagou, following in her father's footsteps.

Seeing Leng Lie lingering at the door for a while, she handed him a tube of ointment and said, "Here, just apply it to Xiao Xi."

"If there is a wound, you also need to take this medicine."

She smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits.

Leng Lie: "......"

He hasn't even said why he came.

Can you take medicine indiscriminately?

The women's director chuckled, "Xiaoxi has delicate skin and a small frame."

Unlike you, a vigorous young man with plenty of assets.

Newlyweds are bound to be a little greedy, so Xiaoxi has to suffer a bit.

However, it's nothing serious; you just need to be more restrained in the future.

The women's director's gaze swept up and down his waist, her tone full of teasing.

Leng Lie: "......"

This is yet another person advising him to "restrain himself".

He's already been very restrained, okay?

"So, will it always be like this?"

If Xiaoxi gets hurt every time, what will they do?

"Director, is there any medicine that can... make me less excited?"

Xiaoxi doesn't have to work that hard.

The plump women's director stared in astonishment, her eyes widening.

Despite her best efforts to hold back, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Leng Lie's face flushed. He snatched the medicine from the women's director's hand, thanked her, and left quickly.

"Hey, let Xiaoxi rest more, she can't do anything reckless again."

"Take a few days off?"

"She can do whatever number of days she needs, hahaha..."

Leng Lie asked a question as if possessed.

This provoked the women's director to burst into uncontrollable laughter, teasing her:

"I've never seen a man who doesn't want his little brother to grow up."

"Oh my, Xiaoxi is such a lucky child."

"It's just a little suffering for now..."

***

Guan Yuxi slept until the afternoon.

She was woken up by hunger.

She tried to get up, but the pain made her fall back down.

"Lie still and I'll feed you."

When Leng Lie saw that she was awake, his eyes lit up with joy.

God knows how worried and tormented he was.

He had to check her breathing every now and then, which made him want to knock himself unconscious.

Lower back pain, backache, and leg cramps.

My buttocks and thighs hurt so much it felt like they were torn apart, like we were going to separate ways.

"Brother Lie, I feel like I'm falling apart."

Guan Yuxi was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears.

She swallowed a mouthful of meat porridge with tears in her eyes, wishing she could tear her soul out of her body.

But then I wouldn't be able to enjoy the same pleasure as last night.

Leng Lie hurriedly wiped away her tears, "Don't cry, it's all my fault, I'll never do that again."

Not like that?

Do you want to engage in platonic, spiritual love?

Why did she get married so early?

Guan Yuxi burst into laughter through her tears, "It's alright, you're good at needlework."

If I fall apart, just sew me back together.

Leng Lie: "......"

She's not a rag doll, but the most exquisite ceramic doll.

He would be heartbroken if it were even slightly damaged.

"Don't talk nonsense. From now on... I'll listen to you."

"It only moves when you say so, and it stops when you say so."

Guan Yuxi gave him a lazy sidelong glance, "A puppet on a string?"

What's the difference between that and playing with balloon toys?

Leng Lie nodded, then suddenly remembered something important, "Oh right, Grandpa went back to the commune early this morning."

Guan Yuxi hummed softly.

She had already warned her grandfather beforehand not to go with her to build the dike again.

The old man is a man of his word; there shouldn't be any more danger.

"After you rest for two days, we'll go see Grandpa."

Later... you can rent a place in town, and I'll come visit you whenever I have time.

Leng Lie knew she was worried about Old Master Guan.

After thinking for a moment, she bit her lip and said.

Although he didn't want to break up with her either.

But he was even more unwilling to see her so worried every day.

Guan Yuxi's eyes lit up. "Why don't we all go to town?"

The town has a food processing plant and a chemical plant.

Going to the factory is much better than toiling in the fields for work points.

Leng Lie's eyes darkened, and he shook his head, saying, "You should go."

I'm still better suited to farming.
