When Wang Huaijing returned to his room, it was not yet completely dark. Zhao Qingyi had just woken up, wearing her undergarments, and stretched and started to move her muscles on the floor.
I haven't practiced my skills yet today. I got up so early, and all my time was spent on getting ready.
Therefore, the first thing you see is Zhao Qingyi moving wooden boxes in the room.
"Wife, what are you doing?" Wang Huaijing stared in disbelief.
Sweat dripped down Zhao Qingyi's face as she steadily placed the box back in its original position.
"Why are you back so early? Aren't you afraid your classmates will laugh at you?"
Wang Huaijing quickly pulled off a handkerchief and began wiping Zhao Qingyi's sweat.
"Everyone's been seen off, what are you doing? That box is so heavy, why are you moving it?"
Zhao Qingyi snatched the handkerchief and started wiping herself.
"I got up early today, but haven't exercised yet."
We don't have that many exercise machines at home, so we'll need to buy some later.
Moving boxes is just a way to build strength. Even if a woman is agile, if she lacks strength, she'll still be at a disadvantage against a formidable opponent.
Wang Huaijing was completely bewildered by Zhao Qingyi's use of "our family," and it felt wonderful.
As for why his wife wanted to build strength, that was completely ignored. Everything his wife did was right.
The spring night was short, the red silk curtains were warm, and the finely crafted canopy bed almost fell apart from being shaken that night.
The next morning, Zhao Qingyi felt relatively energetic, except for the pain.
Wang Huaijing woke up on time for his daily exercise and was fast asleep, holding his wife.
"Honey, where are you going? Sleep a little longer, I'm so sleepy."
Wang Huaijing mumbled to himself with his eyes closed, his only thought being to sleep.
Zhao Qingyi really wanted to kick this guy off the bed. It turns out that marriage makes people degenerate, and there is a stumbling block on the road to progress.
I tried hard to suppress the urge to kick him, shifted my body, and prepared to find a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
Wang Huaijing was awakened by his wife twisting in his arms. His eyes were still sleepy, and his voice was hoarse, "Wife..."
When the two woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky, and Wang Guangzong's family had been sitting in the front hall for almost half an hour.
The Wang Guangzu and Wang Guangzong families sat in the hall, each with a cup of tea and a piece of pastry, telling stories without mentioning the family reunion they had attended that morning.
Who hasn't been young?
Not to mention others, even Wang Guangzu didn't get up early the day after he married Xi Chunhua.
Zhao Qingyi was awakened by hunger. Upon waking, she lifted the bed curtains and glanced at the sky.
"Oh no, Huaijing, wake up quickly! It's afternoon, and we still have to serve tea to our in-laws."
Zhao Qingyi quickly woke up Wang Huaijing, who was still asleep.
The two people appeared in the living room a quarter of an hour later.
As she walked, Zhao Qingyi muttered to herself.
"It's all your fault. You didn't practice again this morning. This won't do. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to practice with me, understand?"
Wang Huaijing held his wife's hand and said, "I'll do whatever you say, my wife."
As per custom, Zhao Qingyi served tea to the elders and received four red envelopes in return.
As a return gift, Zhao Qingyi gave her parents-in-law and others clothes and shoes she had made herself.
She also gave her younger sister two handkerchiefs she had embroidered herself, a pair of pearl earrings, and her younger brother a small purse with a gold locket inside.
Madam Wang was very pleased with Zhao Qingyi's generosity.
Interpersonal relationships should be based on give and take; this is the best approach.
After eating a meal that was neither early nor late, the gatekeeper's servant came to report that a group of people in an oxcart had surrounded the gate of the house.
Wang Guangzong said, "The people are here, let's go."
Zhao Qingyi was very puzzled, "Where are you going?"
Wang Huaijing recounted yesterday's events in a few words, and Zhao Qingyi frowned.
"If there's such a commotion, why didn't you call me out yesterday?"
The Wang family members...
One more person joined the group demanding an explanation: Wang Guangzu and his wife, Wang Huaijing and his wife, and Wang Guangzong, a total of five people.
Once outside, Xi Chunhua was stunned to see a large group of more than ten oxcarts. How many people had they called?
I didn't invite this many people last time either. Judging by the number, there must be over a hundred people.
The Xiao family, who were plotting to get something out of Wang Huaijing, never expected that their attempt to steal a chicken would backfire so quickly.
The Wang family entered the village where the Xiao family lived, went directly to the village chief, and then went to the Xiao family elders.
She recounted in detail what Xiao Caohua had done before and Xiao Huihui's heroic deeds yesterday.
Yan Ming, the Xiao family is trying to tarnish his reputation as a scholar who passed the imperial examination.
If the Xiao family doesn't apologize and quickly marry Xiao Huihui off, we'll demolish Xiao Huihui's house today.
As for Xiao Caohua, she's already a married woman, like water spilled from a cup.
The elders of the Xiao clan said they couldn't control her, but they could expel her from the Xiao family genealogy.
The Wang family was shocked when they heard the decision made by the Xiao family elder.
I never expected that the elder of the Xiao family would have such a shady move.
I thought it would just be a warning, but they came up with something much tougher.
Nonsense, do you think they wouldn't be ruthless? You brought hundreds of able-bodied men as thugs, but the entire village of able-bodied men might not have as many as you.
Besides, you two are both successful candidates in the imperial examinations. What's going on? You're like an egg trying to fight a rock. The clan elder's head hasn't been kicked by a donkey.
The Wang family came in a large force to demand an explanation, but before they could even launch a physical attack, the other party surrendered without resistance.
Why do I feel inexplicably disappointed?
Zhao Qingyi looked at Wang Huaijing again, revealing an ambiguous smile.
Although Wang Huaijing still thought his wife looked really beautiful when she smiled, he inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.
The next day, Wang Huaijing finally understood why his wife had laughed so much the day before.
Not only was I woken up before dawn, but I was also forced to change into shorts and go out for a morning run with my wife, and I was also made to act as her punching bag.
Even if the wife holds back, there will always be times when she gets brushed.
Regardless of how miserable Wang Huaijing was, half a month later, he clearly felt that his body was lighter and his muscles were more solid. When rocking the bed at night, he could occasionally win the initiative.
At the Zhao family's place, before dawn, Zhao Qingshan woke the whole family up.
The reason is simple: Liu Xiaohua is about to give birth.
Although the family was busy and flustered, they remained organized and methodical.
They instructed people to fetch midwives and doctors from town, and had a maid in the kitchen boil water.
Da Bao and Daya were also taken to their grandmother's room to continue sleeping.
Liu Xiaohua was placed in a small room on the second floor to give birth.
The windows here are large, and the room has been thoroughly cleaned. The sheets and other bedding were scalded with boiling water and then dried. The floors and walls are spotless, making it one of the most hygienic maternity wards of its time.
