Chapter 88: You’re dreaming, you fake honest man, it’s just a dream, what’s there to hide...
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run. In her previous life, when order collapsed, Lin Shu heard countless dirty jokes and even witnessed quite a few live sex shows. Although she's still single, she understands everything she needs to know.
I just kissed Zhou Ye yesterday, and Zhou Ye washed his pants this morning. Isn't this obvious?
Ahhh, what a bastard! She hasn't even settled the score with him for flirting with her verbally, and now he actually dares to touch her in her dream!
Lin Shu was so angry that her face turned red.
He Guixiang saw her staring at Zhou Ye's pants and explained, "Aye got his pants wet when he went to the mountains to get spring water this morning, so he came back and changed into a new pair."
Lin Shu felt embarrassed when she heard this.
This... Could it be that she misunderstood Zhou Ye?
But it's still not right.
Lin Shu narrowed her eyes slightly. "It's wet, so what? Men working in the fields often get their pants wet and dirty. When the sun comes out, they'll dry in a short time. When did Ah Ye become so pretentious?"
He Guixiang coughed lightly. She was an experienced person. When she'd seen Ah Ye hanging his pants out this morning, she'd noticed his averted gaze and an uneasy expression. She'd already guessed the reason. It was then that she suddenly remembered Ah Ye was a hot-blooded man, and it was perfectly normal for him to have such a morning reaction. Lin Dashan had it all the time, and Ah Ye was so burly and strong, that aspect would only be more...
But Ah Ye had never shown any signs of abnormality in this regard before, so she thought the child was hiding it well. But when she saw him this morning, she realized that Ah Ye hadn't been hiding it well before, but had never had it before? Or maybe he had, but he had suppressed it and never released it?
When He Guixiang figured out the reason, she was genuinely shocked. She had only ever seen Lin Dashan, and she believed that men couldn't hold back when they were aroused. Ah Ye was being too patient.
Seeing Ah Shu's suspicious expression, He Guixiang didn't know how to explain. Ah Shu was shy and still a virgin, so of course she couldn't say such things openly. She could only think of a way to make amends for Ah Ye.
"Aye, the wet part of your pants is at the base of your thighs. It's not going to look good if you keep wearing them."
Lin Shu let out a long sigh, then asked in confusion, "He changes into clean pants every day, and when they get wet he just takes them off and hangs them out to dry. Why do they look to me like he's just washed them all over again?"
He Guixiang: Why do you have so many questions today?
"He said his feet slipped and got muddy, so he just washed them again. Ah Ye is always so distant with me, his clothes never pass through my hands, he washes and hangs them up himself."
Lin Shu was still suspicious and muttered, "Why didn't he slip before, but he slipped today? Is Ah Ye such a careless person?"
He Guixiang: ...
Seeing that A Niang looked like she couldn't answer, Lin Shu knew that her previous guess was correct. Zhou Ye was shameless. It was not enough to take advantage of her verbally, he also wanted to commit violence in her dreams.
Seeing Ah Niang trying to make amends, Lin Shu pretended not to know and didn't pursue the question any further. She only said something cryptic: "There are two pairs hanging out, and he's still wearing one. Ah Ye must have quite a lot of pants, right?"
He Guixiang: "Why bother? I only have these three pairs of pants for spring, summer and autumn. Ah Ye likes to be clean, so he changes and washes them every day. His pants have become worn out from washing."
"Why are you just talking about Ah Ye? You and Dad don't have many clothes either. Mom, tomorrow I'll take some chicken mushroom sauce I made and ask the owner of Li's Noodle Soup to sell two jars. We'll go from street to street selling the rest. If we can sell it all, we'll get a lot of copper coins. We can go to the cloth shop and buy some cloth and make a new set of clothes for each of us!"
Seeing that she finally stopped talking about the pants, He Guixiang breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to Ah Shu!"
"Mother, did Zhou Ye go to the fields to work?" Lin Shu asked. Since Zhou Ye was nowhere to be seen at this hour, he must be still in the fields and hasn't come back yet.
"I guess he's on his way back? Ah Shu got up two quarters earlier today than yesterday."
Lin Shu curled her lips when she heard this. "I went to bed early last night, so I woke up early this morning. If he's not here, then that's fine. He was able to make a bamboo recliner by looking at the blueprints, so he probably doesn't need my guidance on making a bamboo rocking chair. I'll leave a blueprint for him, and when I'm done I'll go out and play with Xiao Pu."
He Guixiang smiled and said, "Go ahead. It's still cool now. It will start to heat up after breakfast. I'll tell Ah Ye when he comes back."
Lin Xiaopu helped prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Lin Shu took up the pen and slowly drew a structural diagram of a bamboo rocking chair. However, even after the drawing was completed, there was still no sign of Zhou Ye.
Yesterday she was avoiding Zhou Ye, but today it's the other way around, Zhou Ye must be avoiding her!
Is this because he knows that he has wronged her in his dream and is too embarrassed to see anyone?
Bah, you fake honest man, you’ve already dreamed, what’s the point of hiding.
Zhou Ye, who was spat at by Lin Shu, was working hard in the field.
Weeds sprout quickly in the fields, requiring daily weeding. Some lazy villagers, like me, only weed the fields once every few days. When harvest time comes, their harvested rice is inferior to that of other farmers. If you rely on the land for your livelihood, you must work diligently.
"Aye, it's almost done, you can go back first. Aren't you still not done with the bamboo work in your hands?" Lin Dashan reminded.
Zhou Ye was silent for a moment, "Uncle, I'll help you for a while."
He did have some intention of avoiding Lin Shu, but it was not that he did it on purpose. It was just because of the dream he had this morning that he was too embarrassed to face Lin Shu for the time being.
Ah Shu was angry with him yesterday. If she knew what he did to her in his dream, she would definitely refuse to talk to him for several days.
Thinking about the dream again now, Zhou Ye still felt guilty.
He is clearly not that kind of person, so how come he became a barbarian in the dream and bullied Ah Shu until she cried?
In fact, his dream was normal at the beginning. He just dreamed of a scene of going hunting alone in the mountains.
He was so strong that he didn't need a bow and arrow. He only needed a handful of stones. He could knock small animals like pheasants and rabbits unconscious with a single stone. For larger beasts like boars and antelopes, he would find larger stones and, with a single hurlpool, severely injure them. If he encountered a ferocious beast, he would discard these weapons and attack with his bare hands. As long as he avoided the beast's fangs, his strength was so great that a single punch could knock the beast to the ground.
In his dream, he was holding a handful of stones and preparing to go hunting, but as he was walking, he saw two leopards in a tree.
The leopards, a male and a female, were lying down, one on the ground and the other on the ground, in a mating position.
He was also confused at first about the relationship between men and women, but he had been hunting in the mountains for a long time, and with so much experience, he had seen everything, including the reproduction patterns of various wild animals. So, the initially vague things gradually became clear. Although they were wild animals, the relationship between men and women was no more than that.
At this point in the dream, he suddenly disappeared, leaving only the two leopards. The scene became closer and clearer, even the fur on the leopards was clearly visible, not to mention the male leopard's agile and upright waist...
Suddenly, at some point, the two leopards in the tree turned into two people!
The trunks of the jungle trees turned into lush grasslands. Purple flowers floated in the sky, falling one by one and covering their bodies. The two people became even closer...
The delicate and soft person who was being held tightly by that strong body turned her head and saw Ah Shu's pretty face. Her bright eyes were watery with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes. She cried out in a sobbing voice: "Aye, you have no shame!"
Zhou Ye suddenly started and woke up.
When he woke up, it was still dark and he could only hear the crowing of roosters in the yard.
Noticing something strange in his crotch, he quickly changed into another pair of pants, then tiptoed to the kitchen to fetch water and scrubbed the wet areas of the mattress. While He Guixiang and Lin Dashan were still asleep, he hurried to the river to wash his dirty pants before returning. After everything was done, he took the water jar and went to the mountains to fetch spring water, making himself look normal.
But after having such a dream, he felt sorry for A Shu.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Brother Aye!"
Zhou Ye was stunned.
It sounded like Xiao Pu was calling him, but Xiao Pu should be in the yard at this time.
Zhou Ye thought he had misheard until another sound was heard. He suddenly turned around and saw Lin Xiaopu running towards the field. Behind her, A Shu was following not far away, holding an empty wooden barrel in her hand.
Because they were far away, Zhou Ye couldn't see her expression clearly, but he knew that Ah Shu's eyes were on him.
She is looking at herself.
Zhou Ye's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He wanted to call for help, but a scene from his dream suddenly popped into his mind, and his ears suddenly turned red.
He quickly straightened his mind, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, and asked Lin Xiaopu, "Why did you come to the fields?"
Lin Xiaopu winked at him and said, "Sister said she wanted to go to the fields to catch loaches and snails, and that she wanted to add these two dishes to the breakfast, so we came."
Zhou Ye looked at Lin Shu who was approaching slowly, and suddenly became smart and did not ask the two why they did not go to the paddy field near their home.
"Let me do it. You guys don't have to go to the fields anymore. Ah Shu, hand me the bucket."
Lin Shu gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Who asked you to come? Aren't you busy? Just continue with your work. Xiao Pu and I will catch loaches by ourselves."
After saying that, he ignored him and rolled up his trouser legs with Lin Xiaopu, then smeared a layer of Polygonum hydropiper juice on his legs.
Zhou Ye withdrew his extended hand, looked at her for a moment, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
At this time, Lin Dashan said, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go and help. You have a big appetite, so catch more."
Zhou Ye, who was at a loss, leaned over again and directly behind Lin Shu, "A Shu, let me help you."
"I don't want your help." Lin Shu dodged him and took two steps away from him.
Zhou Ye immediately followed, "A Shu, are you still angry?"
Lin Shu didn't respond, but just said: "Aren't you going to help me catch loaches? Go ahead and catch them."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him, Zhou Ye had to give up for the time being and started catching loaches seriously.
With his help, several loaches were put into the bucket in no time.
"Almost done, let's go back. This loach needs to be soaked in water for another quarter of an hour to let it spit out the mud and sand." Lin Shu washed her muddy legs and feet without even looking at Zhou Ye. She only said hello to Lin Dashan, "Dad, we're going back first. I'll cook braised loach in the kitchen today. You can enjoy it when you come back!"
Lin Dashan responded with a smile, "Hey, okay, Dad is waiting!"
Lin Shu picked up the bucket and walked away. The bucket was filled with loaches and water, and it was so heavy that her shoulders slumped.
Zhou Ye quickly washed his legs and feet with water from the field ditch, put on his straw sandals and followed. Before Lin Shu could say anything to refuse, he snatched the bucket from her hand and said, "Ah Shu, I'll carry it."
"I know you can lift it, but I want to lift it for you."
Lin Shu's open mouth slowly closed again, and she only let out a soft moan.
