I don’t know how strong Jiang Shanhe is.
Xiaoguo squatted beside the door, silently gesturing at the damaged area on it that was in the shape of a footprint. This is a wooden door, how much strength must he have used...
I tried to lift it up and restore it, but it was all in vain. The door frame was already crooked, and it would be worse than not installing it. I had no choice but to buy a new door.
I went back to the kitchen, washed my hands, and prepared to cook. It doesn’t matter whether I eat early or late, and it doesn’t matter if I eat dinner early. I will go to bed after dinner anyway, and there is nothing else to do.
First, cook the millet porridge and heat up the braised pork buns made the day before.
I happened to have some smoked meat on hand, so I took two cucumbers, flattened them with a knife, and cut them into medium-sized pieces and put them in the bowl. I also cut some pork liver and lungs, and some meat from the pig's mouth. I cut them all into pieces the same size as the cucumber, and put them all into the cucumber. I added some vinegar, mashed garlic, and sesame sauce, and then mixed the cucumber and pork head meat into a cold dish.
The remaining meat was touched and found to be cool, so I put it in the refrigerator.
After coming out, I thought about it and felt that it was a little too little, so when the millet porridge was almost cooked, I stir-fried some spinach.
The meal had just been served when Jiang Shanhe came over wearing clean clothes.
The uncle who was unkempt just now has now turned back into a well-dressed young man.
Xiaoguo was very satisfied with this. She was not ready to face him when he was in his forties or fifties, so she decided to postpone that day as much as possible.
"Eat." Xiaoguo put down the millet porridge for him, handed him the chopsticks and called him.
"It smells so good. I want to eat your meal."
Jiang Shanhe took a deep breath, not wanting to waste the aroma of rice in the air.
"If you want to eat, just come back more often."
Xiaoguo said as she drank her porridge.
Jiang Shanhe nodded. When he mentioned this, he suddenly thought of replying to the letter. He wanted to ask her about it, but he didn't know how to start. What if she was really angry?
"Did you receive the letter?" Hesitantly, he finally asked, feeling extremely nervous. "Why didn't you reply to my letter?"
Unexpectedly, Xiaoguo suddenly slapped his forehead and kept apologizing, "I'm really sorry, I'm a little busy at the moment, so I'll give it to you..."
Xiao Guo was extremely ashamed. She had actually forgotten that he had come back just for this matter, had he? !
"Nothing." Jiang Shanhe smiled and shook his head, feeling relieved. It turned out that he was too busy to remember. As long as he was not angry or sick, it was fine.
Jiang Danhe was open-minded, but Xiaoguo was not very happy. She asked with guilt, "Did you come back for this?"
Jiang Shanhe was stunned, shook his head considerately, chuckled and said, "No, I came back because I missed you."
Xiao Guo's breathing stagnated, and then he hurriedly looked for something, "I'll go get a candle, it's getting dark."
Jiang Shanhe did not interrupt her excuse. After watching her run away, he retracted his gaze, looked at the candles on the table, and laughed softly. She became even more adorable after not seeing her for several months.
Xiaoguo covered his heart and jumped up and down. It was over, it was over, stop jumping! Good-for-nothing heart, I'll wake you up again in the spring! Stop jumping, stop jumping!
This was the first time in her life that she fell in love with a man, and it had been one of many times. Xiaoguo no longer had the avoidance she had before. Now all that was left was sweetness and a little bit of shyness.
We had only not seen each other for a few months, but he had already trained himself to the point where he could say sweet words to my face without making any expression, but I hadn't made any progress and he actually ran away!
Xiao Guo covered her face in shame. What excuse did she just make? She was actually holding a candle. The flames that were flickering by the table were just that!
"Be still! Be still! Be still!"
Xiao Guo gently stroked her chest and tried to calm her heartbeat. "It doesn't matter. My heartbeat doesn't matter. I've decided to spend my whole life with him. It would be a problem if my heartbeat didn't happen!"
After the hypnosis was over, Xiaoguo walked towards the kitchen with his head held high.
Pretending nothing had happened, Xiaoguo sat on the chair, picked up the half-eaten braised pork bun he had just eaten, and started eating again.
But at this moment, Jiang Shanhe had a mischievous intention, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Where is the candle you found?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xiaoguo was suddenly stung by the braised meat bun and started coughing in pain.
Jiang Shanhe quickly put away his smile when he saw this, and said to her distressedly, "Have some porridge."
Xiaoguo followed his hand and took a sip of porridge before swallowing the lump in her throat.
"Huh~" Xiaoguo, who had escaped death, finally breathed a sigh of relief. That was the closest moment for her to death.
Jiang Shanhe felt even worse than Xiaoguo, as if he was the one who was choked just now. Xiaoguo was fine now, and he was still helping her to breathe.
"It's okay." Xiao Guo shook his head. If Jiang Shanhe continued, his back would catch fire.
"Be more careful next time." Jiang Shanhe withdrew his hand and said with a reproachful tone.
Xiao Guo refused to listen to him. If he hadn't been teasing her, how could she have choked? "Is it my fault?!"
"Don't blame you, blame me." Jiang Shanhe still has some insight. After all, he has seen the Eighteen Tricks to Coax Girls for a long time. It must be his fault that his wife is angry. He has to admit his mistake whether he is right or not.
Xiaoguo felt relieved when she heard that. She was angry but had no place to vent it, so she could only pretend to be dissatisfied and snorted, then started eating again.
Jiang Shanhe lowered his eyelids and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call.
After dinner, it was still early and they couldn't lie down, so they went out for a walk while there was still light.
"How do we fix our door?"
Xiaoguo thought about locking the door, but when he went out, he realized there was no door.
Jiang Shanhe paused and looked towards the door. "Should I go order a new one now?"
Xiao Guo shook his head and thought, "Forget it, let's go tomorrow. Just put it up tonight and close it to make it look good. We have a dog at home, and it will bark if there is any movement."
There are carpenters in the village, but it is getting dark, so let's just talk about it tomorrow. It's only one night anyway. If Xiaoguo is alone at home, someone will definitely install the door overnight, no matter how late it is. But now Jiang Shanhe is at home, she is not afraid at all and feels very safe.
Jiang Shanhe listened to Xiaoguo, and the two of them lifted the door together and closed it with difficulty. Looking from a distance, one would not be able to tell that the door was broken.
After they were done, the two of them didn't go out for a walk. After all, they were really worried about no one being at home.
After returning to the house, Xiao Guo wanted to let Jiang Shanhe rest in the house first, and she would go to another room to make the bed for him.
Jiang Shanhe nodded with an unclear expression. After Xiaoguo left, he took off his outer clothes by himself, lay on the bed wearing only his underwear, and crawled into her quilt.
It doesn't make sense for a couple to sleep in separate rooms. Jiang Shanhe came back this time with determination. He wanted to take their relationship to the next level.
I waited and waited until I was so tired that I fell asleep.
These days, he traveled day and night in order to see Xiaoguo as soon as possible. After arriving at this area, he did not rest much, unless he really couldn't hold on any longer, then he would rest for an hour and then continue on his way. Now that he could hold on until this point, it was already his limit.
By the time Xiao Guo finished making the bed and came over, Jiang Shan He had already fallen asleep. Xiao Guo walked to his side with light steps and gently pushed him, "Jiang Shan He?"
"..." Apart from the slight breathing sound in response to Xiaoguo, Jiang Danhe didn't even move.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Xiao Guo caressed them distressedly, then placed them on his thin cheeks and caressed them gently, "Go to sleep."
Having said this softly, she prepared to leave, leaving the room to him.
"Don't go."
