Chapter 135: These are for Dad’s health
A few minutes later, Zhou Dongmeng came back with steaming hot milk.
Chen Xiang quickly climbed out of the quilt and sat down beside the bed.
She stretched her neck to take a look at his hand and found that on the tray Zhou Dongmeng was holding was not only milk, but also a bag of mung bean cakes, beef jerky, and dates.
Chen Xiang is someone who lived in this era.
Of course she knew that these were good things and only those with a wealthy family could afford them. The reason why the Zhou family had them was simply because her father-in-law was ill and needed nutritional supplements.
She frowned slightly: "These are for Dad to replenish his body, why did you bring them all to me?"
"Dad has some more."
As Zhou Dongmeng was talking, he pulled the table from the wall and placed it in front of Chen Xiang. He placed the table and the tray in his hand next to her, and reminded her, "Be careful of the burns."
Chen Xiang pouted and pushed everything aside: "I can't finish all this. I'll give it back to Dad later."
Zhou Dongmeng: "Okay, eat it quickly, I bought it for my family."
He bent down and picked up a red hair tie from the pillow, walked to Chen Xiang, and grabbed her messy hair with his big hands.
His bony fingers passed through the girl's hair and gently combed it. However, he was a man after all, and his hands were clumsy. He tried to tie her hair with the red hair tie for a long time but failed to do it.
Zhou Dong suddenly lowered his eyes and asked for help softly: "Wife..."
"Hmm."
Chen Xiang responded softly, swallowed the milk in her mouth, stretched out a hand to hold her hair, and said, "Tie it."
Zhou Dongmeng held the two ends of the hair tie with both hands and wrapped it around the roots of her hair several times.
It took a long time to tie a loose bow.
Zhou Dong turned his head and asked her, "Is it okay? Do I need to do it again?"
Chen Xiang raised her hand to touch the low ponytail he had tied for her, raised her head and looked at the man beside her. A bright smile appeared on Nai Fufu's face, and her eyebrows curved: "You are so nice..."
Seeing the girl is so cute.
Zhou Dongmeng was so shocked that his whole body felt limp.
His face was cold and hard, like frost on the eaves welcoming the scorching heat, which thawed in an instant and turned into a pool of water. His brows and eyes were gentle, and the curve of the corners of his mouth was gentle.
Zhou Dongmeng wiped the milk stains from the corners of her mouth and said, "Drink up quickly, and then lie down in the quilt."
There is a kang in the east room, so the room won’t be too cold.
But there is no kang in their room, just a bed. It can be warm during the day with the sun, but the temperature outside has dropped sharply in the past few days, and the room has also become chilly.
Zhou Dongmeng was planning to build the earthen kang in the next few days.
He used to go to school and serve in the army, and he spent very little time at home, so this room was always idle. After he came back, he got a few wooden boards and nailed them together to make a bed so he could sleep there.
As for whether it was cold or not, he had thick skin and was not afraid of it at all.
But now it's different.
He has a wife.
The flesh of his little girl was so soft and tender that he was afraid of hurting her if he touched her the slightest.
Besides, it's so cold in this room.
Freeze her again...
Except for last night when the girl slept in his arms, her hands, feet and face were not that cold.
A few nights ago, Zhou Dongmeng woke up several times to check if she had stretched her hands and feet out of the quilt, for fear that she had caught a cold.
When Chen Xiang heard his instructions, she happily shook her two legs that were hanging by the bed.
She nodded and said in a sweet voice, "Okay."
After she agreed, she looked up at the man and said, "Take all of this away. I won't eat it. Leave it for dad. It would be a waste for me to eat it."
This time it was Zhou Dong's turn to frown: "It's not a waste no matter who eats it, baby."
