Chapter 127 The most comfortable sleeping position
Tu Su Minxu's mouth watered, smacking his lips constantly, staring at Gu Yuexuan eagerly: "Sister-in-law, when can I taste this delicacy?"
Gu Yuexuan skillfully cut the meat into small and palatable portions. After confirming that the meat was cooked through and not hot to the touch, she carefully placed them into the children's bowls.
“Give it a try.”
Tu Su Minyang was impatient, but the heat made him gasp for air. Tu Su Yunxi clenched the Xiaomia with both hands and tore it with all his strength, but only got a mouthful of oil. A closer look at the piece of meat in his hand showed that it only had some flesh wounds.
Seeing this, Gu Yuexuan's mouth twitched slightly. She was about to help Tu Suyunxi cut it into pieces more carefully when Xi Lanfang walked in with a large bunch of cypress branches and asked softly, "Xuanxuan, do you think these cypress branches are sufficient?"
She took the cypress branch, put it down gently, and asked anxiously, "Mother-in-law, why did you bring it in yourself? Isn't Tu Subo already back?"
Xi Lanfang rubbed his shoulders and said helplessly, "I'm back, but I haven't even set foot inside. He said someone was calling me, so I hurried to the river to help pull the nets. I'm afraid I won't be back before dark. Before he left, your third uncle told us not to wait for him for dinner. I'll leave some for you and Tu Subo, and keep them warm on the stove."
With Tu Suting's company, Tu Subo's strange behavior seemed less abrupt.
Gu Yuexuan blinked, suppressed the doubts in her heart, grabbed a cypress branch, gently broke it, squatted down, and stuffed it under the shelf.
"The smoke here is too thick. Mother-in-law, please go into the house first, so that you don't get stained by the smoke and affect your embroidery work."
Xi Lanfang was concerned about the unfinished embroidery in the house and quickly nodded in agreement.
After Xi Lanfang walked away, Gu Yuexuan looked at the thick white smoke rising from the burning cypress branches, her brows furrowed.
What happened to Tu Subo?
Could it be that I really got into trouble because of my own kick yesterday?
Smoking bacon is a skill that requires patience and carefulness. If you want to smoke bacon with a strong flavor, it not only takes several days, but also requires no impatience.
Gu Yuexuan and her children stood by the rack, patiently smoking for an entire day. As night fell, she lowered the flame to a minimum to prevent sparks from drifting away in the wind. Then, washing her greasy hands, she returned to the stable.
She originally planned to wait for Tu Subo to return, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of him, and finally she fell asleep in bed unknowingly.
At dusk, Tu Subo quietly walked into the house with the remaining snowflakes on his shoulders.
Xi Lanfang heard the noise, pushed the door open, and was shocked to see the fox in his hand.
"Didn't you just say you were at the village chief's house? Why did you run off to the mountains again?"
Tu Subo gently brushed the dust off his clothes and said calmly, "My grandfather brought some sorghum wine to the village chief's house. They all gathered together, drank and chatted. Since I am not good at drinking, I wandered alone in the mountains and forests, just wandering around casually."
"Mom, you should rest first. I'll just tidy up a bit."
Xi Lanfang suppressed her strong sleepiness and nodded gently: "Then it's up to you."
"Xuanxuan has reserved dinner for you in the pot. Please enjoy some first and then go to rest."
"OK."
Watching Xi Lanfang quietly close the door and go back home, Tu Subo stood where he was, took a deep breath of the icy air, slowly took out hot water, and washed away any bloody smell that might remain on his body.
He stood at the porch, took several deep breaths, and then gently pushed the door open and entered.
Inside the house, Gu Yuexuan had fallen asleep.
But her expression before going to bed did not seem peaceful. A half-finished blue hairband was scattered beside the bed. The stitches were rough, but it revealed a unique sense of familiarity.
Still as simple and honest as ever.
The headband on Tu Subo's head was also made by her.
Gu Yuexuan has a clear understanding of her handicrafts. Knowing that making large pieces of clothing is not her forte, she devotes her energy to these small items.
Tu Subo was happy to wear any small item she made by hand, whether it was a funny-looking mandarin duck purse or a auspicious cloud headband twisted like an earthworm.
He always tried to support these imperfect little decorations with his resolute face, and never minded even though he was often laughed at when he went out.
This person always has a lot of gadgets in his hands, but his mouth is as stubborn as a tightly closed clam shell.
She always seemed to keep a subtle distance from herself.
Like an invisible boundary, clear and definite.
Tu Subo couldn't help but sigh softly. He walked over to sort out the things that Gu Yuexuan hadn't packed before going to bed, and then gently wrapped her in the quilt, as if making a warm roll. He sat down beside the bed and muttered to himself:
"Since you don't mind sharing the good and bad times with me, why are you so reluctant to open your heart to me?"
"Is it really that difficult to hear a gentle word from your heart?"
His whispers were only met with Gu Yuexuan's dissatisfied hum in her dream.
She even kicked her feet unconsciously in her sleep, as if trying to kick someone away.
Tu Subo smiled helplessly, hugged her gently through the quilt, looked down and saw that she had found the most comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep again, a warm smile silently emerged in his eyes.
never mind.
He is willing to wait.
After all, he has plenty of time and energy.
The night deepened and the dream gradually faded away. Gu Yuexuan rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was the chin with perfect lines.
In that chaotic moment, Tu Subo's return was like a ray of light under the night sky, silently penetrating into the silent night.
Her memory seemed to be swept away by a sudden dizziness, so much so that she herself didn't know when she had involuntarily fallen into his arms...
The familiar feeling of embarrassment came like a tide, and Gu Yuexuan subconsciously slowed down her breathing and tried to gently break free from the restraints.
Just as she was about to regain her freedom cautiously, the sleeping Tu Subo suddenly moved.
He skillfully stretched out his slender arms, accurately embraced Gu Yuexuan's waist which had just straightened, and gently pulled her back into the warm bed.
The feeling of frustration of finally escaping from the cage but being pushed back into place made Gu Yuexuan feel the warmth of Tu Subo patting the back of her head in the midst of her astonishment.
"Stop it, baby."
"Let me rest for a while."
"Xuanxuan, I'm really sleepy."
His vague and hoarse voice, coupled with the dark shadows under his eyes, seemed to turn into an invisible hammer in mid-air.
Gu Yuexuan's remaining sanity was shattered by this force of thunder.
After a long silence, Gu Yuexuan finally chose to close her eyes and let herself sink.
Anyway, this is not the first time.
When I woke up, it was already bright daylight.
Gu Yuexuan sat up dazedly, but what rang in her ears was Tu Subo's playful and familiar voice: "Awake?"
