Chapter 4 Poor Male Wife
Ji Hean still stood there with his head down, timidly, as if he didn't hear Ji Zheng's comfort.
Seeing this, Ji Zheng didn't know what to say. He really had no experience in comforting people.
Thinking of the kitchen that had not been cleaned yet, Ji Zheng turned and left.
Hearing the sound of footsteps and a door closing, Ji Hean carefully raised his head and looked towards the door where Ji Zheng disappeared.
His hands intertwined unconsciously, with some confusion in his eyes. He felt that Ji Zheng was very strange today.
She didn't hit him but comforted him. Was he possessed by an evil spirit?
Ji Hean's mind was full of mixed thoughts, but he was still worried, fearing that Ji Zheng would come back and beat him again.
the other side.
Ji Zheng went to the kitchen, picked up the broken pieces of bowls on the floor one by one, and tidied up the kitchen casually.
As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I ran into Ji's mother who had just come back from outside.
Mother Song was a little surprised to see Ji Zheng coming out of the kitchen, but before she could ask anything, she heard Ji Zheng speak first.
"I accidentally broke a few bowls at home."
His tone was calm and his facial expression was also calm.
Ji's mother stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Ji Zheng stepped forward and stuffed five coins into Ji's mother's hand, "This is for the bowl."
After saying this, Ji Zheng turned and left without caring about Ji's mother's reaction.
After Ji Zheng's figure completely disappeared, Song's mother came back to her senses. She looked at the copper plates in her palm and thought about what Ji Zheng had just said. She opened her mouth but finally said nothing.
If it was anyone else, she would definitely complain or curse a few times, but it happened to Ji Zheng.
Among all her children, Ji Zheng is the quietest but very sensible one.
Except for occasionally beating Ji He'an after they got married, of course this was not a big deal in Ji's mother's eyes.
So in her heart, Ji Zheng was a very obedient and sensible child. Mother Ji really didn't know what to say for a moment.
What's more, Ji Zheng gave her the money to buy the bowl.
For some reason, Ji's mother always felt that Ji Zheng was a little strange. Although he was silent as usual, he seemed to have grown taller. His walking posture had also changed and he looked much more pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Ji's father also came back. Seeing Ji's mother standing at the kitchen door in a daze, he was a little surprised, "What are you doing standing here?"
Hearing the sound of Ji's father, Ji's mother came back to her senses and waved her hands, saying, "Nothing, nothing."
Having said that, he put the copper plate in his waist bag and returned to his room.
Father Ji didn't ask any more questions and went back to his room.
When Ji Zheng returned to the room and opened the door, he saw Ji Hean still standing there, even their posture hadn't changed. Ji Zheng found it funny but also felt a little uncomfortable.
They got so scared just because of breaking a few bowls. It seems that Ji and An had a hard life in the past.
Ji He'an had indeed had a hard time in the past. The upper village where he lived was already poor, and his family was the poorest one in the village.
Although he was the youngest in the family, he had no status at home because of his status as a father-in-law. Being beaten and scolded was a common occurrence for him since he was a child.
When he just turned fifteen, his parents couldn't wait to marry him off. There was no wedding ceremony, they just found an auspicious day, and Ji's mother came to give the gift money. He followed Ji's mother with a small bag.
As soon as he arrived and started working, he sometimes felt like he was jumping from one employer to another.
As for his name, it was certainly not given to him by his parents. In fact, he had no name from birth until he got married, and of course he had no household registration.
He doesn't have any nickname. When his parents are happy, they call him "Xiao Si" because he is the fourth child in the family. When they are unhappy, they call him "Poor Money Man".
The name Ji He'an was given to him because he was going to get married and needed a household registration. A monk happened to come to beg for alms that day and gave him the name.
The dim candlelight illuminated the small room, as well as the person who was about to curl up into a ball nearby. Ji Zheng felt his heart soften for no reason.
"Why are you still standing there? It's just a few broken bowls. Don't be afraid, no one will blame you." Ji Zheng walked to the bed and sat down.
This time Ji Hean responded. He just nodded slightly, as if answering Ji Zheng's words.
Although it was still early, there was nothing to do. Ji Zheng was tired after a long day and really wanted to sleep.
Looking at Ji Hean who was curled up in the corner like a mushroom, Ji Zheng said, "If you have nothing else to do, go to sleep."
After saying this, he added, "I have to get up early to work tomorrow."
Ji Hean nodded and moved slowly, "I understand."
The sound was still so small. If the room was not small enough and the surroundings were not quiet enough, Ji Zheng would not be able to hear Ji Hean's voice.
Sometimes he really wondered if Ji Hean had a problem with his vocal cords, otherwise why did he always speak so softly.
Ji Zheng was really tired. Seeing that Ji and An had agreed, he ignored him and went to sleep.
Seeing that Ji Zheng had fallen asleep, Ji Hean tiptoed out. He had not washed his clothes yet. If he did not wash them today, he would definitely be scolded by Ji's mother tomorrow.
Ji Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, of course had no idea that Ji Hean was washing clothes alone by the river under the moonlight.
The dim moonlight shone on his face. Thinking that he had not been beaten just now, he slowly revealed a faint smile. He was very lucky today.
...
Ji Zheng was awakened by the sound of chickens. Although his family did not raise chickens, a neighbor who lived not far from his home did.
When he woke up, he did not see Ji and An in the room.
He slept so soundly last night that he didn't even notice whether Ji and An slept with him.
He got up, dressed and went out. As soon as he left the room, he saw a row of clothes drying in the yard. There was no water dripping from the clothes. Looking at how wet they were, Ji Zheng thought they must have been washed last night.
Ji Zheng felt a little impressed when he thought that there were still people washing clothes so late at night.
If Ji Zheng were to ask what the biggest benefit of living in the countryside is, he thinks it is the beautiful air and scenery.
After taking a deep breath of the morning air and gazing at the green hills in the distance for a while, Ji Zheng went to the yard to wash up.
Just after washing up, other people came out one after another.
After greeting each other, they went about their business.
When Ji Zheng arrived at the kitchen, he saw Ji Hean, who had been missing since early morning, making breakfast.
Seeing Ji Zheng coming in, Ji Hean, who was squatting on the ground burning a fire, stood up immediately and stammered, "Ah...Alang."
Then he quickly said, "Breakfast will be ready soon."
While speaking, his head was still lowered.
Seeing Ji Hean like this, Ji Zheng felt a little uncomfortable.
"When did you get up?" he asked.
Looking at the half basket of baked pancakes and the porridge that was almost done in the pot, although Ji Zheng had never cooked before, he knew that it would take at least two hours to cook so much.
"Yin hour." Ji Hean replied.
Yinshi is around 4 or 5 o'clock. In this season, it is still dark at 4 or 5 o'clock.
