For the past few days, Gu Weizhou has been preventing Ruan Yunxi from touching water because she hasn't been feeling well.
It's pretty much the same as usual.
He does all the laundry and dishes.
The water was freezing cold in winter, so Gu Weizhou would wash and dry her clothes after she took a bath.
It's cold outside, so I'll hang it inside.
The house has a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), which is warmer than outside.
If wet clothes are hung outside, they will freeze directly.
It's getting cold, but there's enough firewood at home, so the kang (a heated brick bed) is heated all day long; otherwise, Ruan Yunxi wouldn't be able to stand it.
The tenement buildings have heating, and the people living there often boast about it, saying that they don't need to heat the kang (a traditional heated bed) at home, and they have to take off their clothes as soon as they enter the house, which is much more comfortable than living in their small bungalows.
Ruan Yunxi wasn't envious; a small house has its own advantages.
As long as you're willing to heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed), your home will be just as warm.
Sister-in-law Sheng often brings Little Cherry and Little Potato to Ruan Yunxi's place. Occasionally, Miao Huahua will also come over and bring some fresh oysters, which she dug up at the beach despite the freezing cold.
Looking at Miao Huahua's hands, which were frozen like sweet potatoes, Ruan Yunxi asked, "Doesn't your mother-in-law give you any to eat? Why are you digging for oysters? In this weather, don't you want your hands anymore?"
"Nothing to do." Miao Huahua fiddled with her fingers: "I want to eat."
"You're such a glutton." Ruan Yunxi looked at the person whose face was cracked from the wind and whose ears had frostbite, took out a jar of canned yellow peaches from the cupboard, and gave them peach shortbread. Everyone ate together, and she gave Miao Huahua two pieces: "Eat up, you glutton!"
Miao Huahua's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she took the money, saying, "I won't go tomorrow."
"Don't go the day after tomorrow either. If you get frostbite, how will you face people with your face and ears all rotten?" Ruan Yunxi threatened.
Miao Huahua was stunned for a moment. Looking at Ruan Yunxi's fair and flawless face, she touched her own rough face and realized that her face was really a bit rotten.
Sister-in-law Sheng said, "I have some face cream. I'll get you a box later. Apply it after you wash your face to moisturize your skin."
Miao Huahua shook her head: "No, we can't accept it."
Sister-in-law Sheng said, "Then don't send me oysters, clams, or sea cucumbers anymore. I don't want them either."
Miao Huahua: "......."
Little Cherry and the others were eating canned yellow peaches, one bowl each. They heated them up with water; everyone likes to eat something warm in winter, and canned yellow peaches are no exception.
Ruan Yunxi's home wasn't as warm as the tenement building, so it wasn't very cozy, and she still felt a bit cold even when eating ice cream.
When the woman from the apartment building was showing off, she said she wanted to eat popsicles in the dead of winter.
Ruan Yunxi: "......"
To give Miao Huahua something to do, Sister-in-law Sheng invited her to knit a sweater together. At Ruan Yunxi's house, they took apart the old sweater and started knitting a new one.
It will eventually be finished.
Ruan Yunxi had plenty of old sweaters. She had a lot of old sweaters from Ning Zhenzhen and the others stored in her space. Ruan Yunxi took some out and had Sister-in-law Sheng and the others unravel them. She also learned to knit sweaters, using the new yarn she had bought.
Under Sister-in-law Sheng's guidance, Ruan Yunxi knitted a wool vest for Gu Weizhou.
After finishing the knitting, Ruan Yunxi immediately took it out: "Try it on quickly and see how the size is?"
Gu Weizhou, who had already tried it on several times, immediately took off his coat and put on his vest. When he saw the unfinished sweater she had left aside that night, Gu Weizhou resisted the urge to help knit it and wanted to wear it as soon as possible.
We've been waiting for this day and night, and it's finally here!
After changing into the clothes, Gu Weizhou happily patted his belly: "They fit perfectly and are very warm!"
Ruan Yunxi checked it for a while and confirmed that the size was right. It looked really handsome on him.
Ruan Yunxi tugged at her sweater: "Not bad, looks like my knitting skills are pretty good. I'll knit you woolen pants tomorrow!"
Gu Weizhou smiled and pulled his wife from the kang into his arms: "My wife is so virtuous. She knits such a beautiful sweater. I will wear the vest you knitted every day from now on. It's warm and I won't feel cold at all. It's so warm here."
Seeing Gu Weizhou's overflowing emotional appeal, Ruan Yunxi kissed him.
Gu Weizhou's eyes shone brightly, his gaze filled with longing.
Ruan Yunxi kissed him again.
Soon, the shadows of two mandarin ducks, their necks intertwined, were cast on the drawn curtains.
