Chapter 104 Tired
Li Wanqing was exhausted on Gu Chuan's wedding day. She and her sister-in-law had to help entertain the guests and wash the dishes after they left.
As a sister-in-law, these are what she should do. Her elder sister-in-law and her family did the same when they got married. So Li Wanqing had no complaints.
"Oh, I'm so tired, Gu Yan. Let's have dumpling soup tonight. You cook it. I'm too lazy to move." After helping to wash the dishes and put things away, Gu Yan and Li Wanqing finally returned home.
"Okay, I'll make dinner. My dear, you can take a shower first and relax. Dinner will be ready soon." Gu Yan said while massaging Li Wanqing's arm.
"Well, did something happen to your second brother and the others? I see that Li Yingdi doesn't look well." Thinking of Li Yingdi's sallow complexion, Li Wanqing was still a little worried.
"I don't know. It's none of our business whatsoever they do." Gu Yan didn't care about them at all.
"Well, I'm just asking, you said that your parents were so angry at the time, but Gu Bei just admitted his fault and said a few nice words and they forgave him?
The cost of making a mistake is too low. No wonder Gu Bei never considers the consequences when doing things and is selfish and only thinks about himself.
"Humph, they've always been like this. I've already told you that even though they might be angry at the time, as long as Gu Bei says a few nice words, they'll forgive him.
"Just wait and see, the second brother is not an easy person to deal with, and with Li Yingdi added to the mix, there will be some trouble in the future," said Gu Yan.
"Forget it, ignore them. You go take a shower first. I'll go cook. It seems to be snowing outside again. Let's go to bed early today." After saying that, Gu Yan went out to cook.
Li Wanqing lay down for a while and then went to take a shower in the space.
After taking a shower, Gu Yan’s dumpling soup was ready, and the two of them went to bed after eating.
Nothing happened that night. When Li Wanqing woke up the next morning, she felt that the cave was very cold.
Gu Yan had already gotten up. When he woke up in the morning, he found that the temperature had dropped sharply and the north wind outside was howling.
The earthen kang beneath me has become cold, so I have to quickly light the stove again.
Boil some water on the stove so Li Wanqing can wash up when she wakes up.
"Gu Yan, why did you get up so early?" Li Wanqing lay in the quilt and said to Gu Yan.
"Is my wife awake? Don't get up yet. I'll light the stove and the room will be warm in a while." Gu Yan added another piece of wood into the stove.
"Okay, I'll lie down for a while." Even if he didn't say it, Li Wanqing didn't want to get up. It was really too cold. Just lying there made her nose feel frozen.
Fortunately, the temperature rose quickly. In about half an hour, the kang became warm and the temperature in the cave also rose.
"Wife, what do you want to eat? Dumpling soup?" Gu Yan asked when he saw Li Wanqing starting to put on her clothes.
"Let's not eat the dumpling soup. Today we'll drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks." Li Wanqing said after thinking for a while.
Thinking of the taste of soy milk and fried dough sticks, Gu Yan also felt like eating them.
"Okay, let's have soy milk and fried dough sticks. I'll go get a bowl." Li Wanqing put the soy milk in a big bowl, and just scoop a bowl when you want to drink it.
Hot soy milk and crispy fried dough sticks are a perfect match.
"It's delicious. Wife, give me two more fried dough sticks." Gu Yan ate them with a smacking sound, enjoying every bite.
Li Wanqing took out two more fried dough sticks from her space and handed them to him: "Do you want more soy milk?"
"Another bowl." Gu Yan handed over the bowl.
Li Wanqing served him another bowl and half a bowl for herself. She was already full, but seeing Gu Yan eating so happily, she still felt a little greedy.
After dinner, Gu Yan went out to sweep the snow. Li Wanqing wanted to go with him, but Gu Yan didn't let her.
"Wife, I don't need you. It's cold outside. You should stay in the house." Gu Yan put on a big fur coat and leather gloves.
"Two people can work faster, let's go." Li Wanqing also put on her fox fur coat, rabbit fur gloves, and deerskin boots.
He also wore a rabbit fur hat and a fox fur scarf on his head, and was fully armed.
But you know what, although this method is a bit clumsy, it doesn't make you feel cold at all.
Gu Yan used a shovel to shovel the snow down the mountain, and Li Wanqing followed behind with a broom to sweep it.
After the snow at the entrance of the cave was cleared, the two men also cleared a path leading down the mountain.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law."
Gu Yan and Li Wanqing were working hard when they heard Gu Chuan's voice.
"Why are you here?" Gu Yan said as he looked up.
"I came here to find you and my third sister-in-law to go to my parents' place." Gu Chuan did not come alone, but brought his wife with him.
"Oh, fourth brother's wife is here too? Come on, let's go into the house." When Li Wanqing saw that Gu Chuan's wife had also come, she stuffed the broom into Gu Yan's hand.
"Third sister-in-law." Gu Chuan's new daughter-in-law Zhao Cuifang called shyly.
"Hey, come on, go inside. Have you had breakfast?" Li Wanqing said as she pulled Zhao Cuifang back.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I've eaten. There was a lot of food left over from yesterday, so Chuan and I heated it up this morning.
"Third sister-in-law, your house is really well-maintained." Zhao Cuifang said enviously as she looked at the furnishings in Li Wanqing's home.
"Well, I'm just cleaning up. Sit down and have some water." Li Wanqing poured a glass of water and brought it over.
"How is this tidying up randomly? It's because you are clever and skillful, sister-in-law. If it were me, I wouldn't clean up even if there were things." Zhao Cuifang sat on the simple sofa made by Li Wanqing and Gu Yan.
It's called a sofa, but it's actually a large chair. However, Li Wanqing used fabric and cotton to make the seat cushion and backrest, making it more comfortable to sit on.
Cuifang looked at the cushions and backrest of the chair and was shocked. This was such a waste.
Such fine fabric was used to make cushions and backrests. This row of chairs has cushions and backrests. This amount of fabric is enough to make two new sets of clothes.
And the cotton in this cushion is so soft when you sit on it, it must be new cotton.
I thought that even after I got married, my parents didn’t make me a new cotton-padded jacket.
What I'm wearing was made two years ago. Although I take good care of it, it has two patches on it after two years.
Seeing Li Wanqing casually making such fine fabrics and cotton into seat cushions and backrests, Cuifang's eyes turned red with envy.
Li Wanqing also saw the change in Zhao Cuifang's face, but she didn't care.
The things are hers, she can use them however she wants, there is no reason to hide them for fear of others getting jealous.
In fact, Li Wanqing originally wanted to use scraps of cloth to piece together the seat cushion and backrest, but her hands were not that dexterous, and it took too much time to piece together the scraps of cloth, so Li Wanqing didn't have the patience.
Besides, she doesn't need it, so there's no need to make things difficult for herself.
In fact, she could also use fur as seat cushions and backrests. Fur was also soft, so she planned to alternate between the two.
