Lu Xiao had candy in his mouth, and his lips could feel the touch of her little hands. Somehow, his face felt a little hot.
He nodded, said something vaguely, and lowered his head to pile up the stones. For a moment he was a little flustered.
Jiang Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed secretly: What kind of aloof, abstinent, pure old man, isn't that what she likes most? She just doesn't believe that she can't win him over with her soft and gentle manner.
After building the chicken coop, Lu Xiao took a shower first.
Dinner consisted of steamed buns made of two-grain flour, corn porridge, and stir-fried meat and beans.
She also knew that eating this way was too luxurious in this era, but thinking of Lu Xiao's health later on, she had to do it.
Lu Xiao does heavier work than others, so he needs to get more nutrition.
If she wasn't afraid that he would suspect something, she would have wanted to serve him white flour buns and braised pork, but their two-grain flour buns were also very special, and she added several bags of milk powder to them.
"Your household registration should be done soon. The team still has two fields of beans to harvest. By the time we finish harvesting these beans, it will be autumn. The team leader will probably combine your work with mine. You should rest well at home for the next few days and then go back to work during the autumn harvest."
Lu Xiao took a bite of the steamed bun and discussed with her. The steamed bun was sweet and the stir-fried pork with beans was extremely fragrant. He felt that the days these days were better than during the Chinese New Year and he was willing for her to stay at home and cook for the house.
Although the two quilts on the kang were far apart, other places in the house had changed.
Lu Xiao had never felt the meaning of home as much as he did now. He didn't have this feeling even when he lived in the old house.
Jiang Wanwan had no objection. She just needed to buy some more things, and it also gave her two-bedroom apartment a legitimate source of things.
After dinner, Lu Xiao went out. Jiang Wanwan didn't ask much. This man always liked to go out at night. It should be the nightlife of young people in this era. After all, there were no TVs or mobile phones.
After washing up, she went to bed early. Jiang Wanwan was not sleepy, so she ran to the two-bedroom apartment to look through her clothes.
The weather is getting cold soon. The original owner has a lot of clothes in this era, but there are only a few of them, and in winter he even wears a thick cotton-padded jacket.
Needless to say, Lu Xiao's cotton-padded jacket was a thin one with several layers of patches on it. Even the sleeves were added later. The fabric was obviously new and old, and it was probably the cotton-padded jacket he wore when he was young.
It is not difficult to guess that making a cotton-padded jacket requires not only cloth coupons but also cotton coupons.
Given the Lu family's situation, it was already difficult to get cotton coupons. Add to that the children and the eldest sister-in-law's personality, how much could a young man like him get?
………………
On the back mountain, the night was thick and pitch black all around.
The wind blew through the big trees, making a rustling sound, and the occasional cry of unknown birds added a bit of fear to the night.
Li Ergou trotted over with his neck hunched and his back bent. Seeing that figure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother Xiao, why are you out again? Didn't we just get some pheasants and rabbits a few days ago? Has my sister-in-law spent all the money she had for embroidery?"
Thinking about the food he had eaten today, although there was no meat, there was definitely some seafood, and then thinking about what the villagers had said before, Li Ergou felt that it was too expensive to support a wife, and it would be more comfortable for him to remain single.
Lu Xiao didn't answer him. Seeing the man walking straight into the mountain, he said, "Last time I saw that wild boar footprint, it should be a half-grown wild boar. Let's try to catch it tonight."
"Really hunting wild boars? Brother Xiao, you are not kidding, right? I think your trap is not safe, Brother Xiao, why don't you reconsider it?"
Lu Xiao had no intention of backing down. "If you're scared, just come down the mountain. I can do it alone."
Li Ergou: "Go, you must go."
If he doesn't go this time, he won't have a chance to do anything next time. Following Lu Xiao for the past two years, he has been living a good life.
Otherwise, with his half-baked skills, he wouldn't be able to catch a pheasant or a rabbit, let alone a stupid roe deer.
…………
Jiang Wanwan took out all the usable items in the two-bedroom apartment and put them aside. She also packed a few pieces of underwear and socks that could be worn inside, and took a few toiletries.
It was quiet outside. I looked at my watch and it was already eleven o'clock, so I went to sleep. I heard some noise outside in a daze. I guessed it was Lu Xiao coming back, so I turned over and fell asleep again.
It was indeed Lu Xiao outside. If Jiang Wanwan saw the man at this moment, she would probably be shocked.
At this time, the man's clothes, which were already worn out from washing, were hanging on his legs like strips of cloth. There were bloodstains on his arms and body, and he smelled of blood all over.
Lu Xiao first looked around the room to make sure the little woman was asleep, then he went to the water tank and scooped some cold water to rinse his body.
The blood was quickly washed away, and it turned out that it was not the blood from his injury.
After taking a shower, Lu Xiao went to brush his teeth wearing only his underwear. He picked up the cup on the windowsill and found that his toothbrush, which had been worn out and had lost its bristles, was gone. It was replaced by a new blue toothbrush. He looked at another cup and saw a pink toothbrush in it, the same style as his.
He knew she had bought a lot of things at the town market, but he didn't expect that his...
Lu Xiao picked up the toothbrush and brought it closer. There was a faint fragrance on it, like the scent of a young woman, which reminded him of the kiss that the young woman had given him that night when he was in a state of confusion and passion.
It has a light fragrance that is more intoxicating than the most mellow wine.
He had never been in contact with a woman, let alone thought about kissing anyone, but at that moment, he kissed her without any instruction.
Her lips were so soft, like the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes I ate when I was a child, and I couldn't bear to let go of them...
His hand couldn't help but tighten around the toothbrush, his breathing became disordered, and he suddenly came to his senses and glanced down, his whole body froze...
Without even brushing my teeth, I went to the water tank and filled it with a bucket of cold water, then doused myself in it...
