Chapter 137 Why is your heart beating so fast?

"Grandpa, do you mean to teach me the Su family's ancestral medical skills?" Although Su Mei had already guessed Su Xuanhu's intention, she still asked.

Su Xuanhu nodded upon hearing this and said: "Actually, there is no such thing as inherited from ancestors. Medicine is about talent and experience.

You already have the talent, and I will pass on my experience to you, which will give you even more power in your medical practice.

I have accumulated decades of medical experience, but I have never shared it with anyone. Sometimes I think it is a pity.”

"If Grandpa is willing to teach me something, I would be more than happy to do so." Although she had not been at home for a long time, Su Mei already had a solid foundation in medicine, and more than ten days was enough for her to learn a lot.

Her attitude towards medicine has always been to explore a wide range of fields, and she would naturally not miss any opportunity to learn.

The grandfather and grandson sat in the house, chatting leisurely, and before they knew it, they had spent a pleasant afternoon.

Huo Jianguo washed the dishes and did not disturb the two people in the house. Instead, he took an axe and chopped wood in the yard. His movements were skillful and powerful, and each axe hit the wood accurately and accurately, making a crisp sound.

At dusk, Su Mei's parents and brother returned home and were surprised to find that the pile of firewood in the yard had been chopped into neat strips by Huo Jianguo.

In the evening, Su Mei's brothers gathered at Su Mei's parents' home, bringing with them her sisters-in-law and several young nieces and nephews.

The whole family gathered together, making great noise and excitement, and almost crowded the small yard of Su Mei's parents.

The house couldn't accommodate so many people, so Su Mei's parents burned two piles of firewood in the yard, and the whole family simply sat around the campfire and talked in the open air.

After everyone arrived, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo began to distribute New Year gifts to their families.

The family was in a happy mood, sharing the gifts they had received with each other. Although there were many people in the house, there was no sound of quarreling or discord, and the yard was filled with laughter.

Looking at this family and thinking about his own family, Huo Jianguo couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

When Huo Jianguo finished delivering gifts to Su Mei's family and moved a stool to sit down, Su Mei's brothers and sisters-in-law also took out the gifts they had prepared for the young couple.

Although the gifts were not expensive, it was obvious that they were carefully prepared. No one in this family would feel comfortable accepting anything from the young couple unilaterally.

Several families gathered together for dinner, and Su Mei's brothers all brought some meat.

They had a pleasant meal together, and it was not until 11 o'clock in the evening that everyone in the Su family's yard slowly dispersed and went home.

Su Mei and Huo Jianguo naturally had to stay at home overnight.

The young couple was arranged to live in the concubine where Su Mei lived before she got married. Although Su Mei had been married for more than three years, her concubine still looked the same as before she got married.

Unlike other rooms in this house, although Su Mei's room is small, the furniture inside is painted in bright colors.

The wardrobes and bedding are all new, and the house is full of traces of the original owner being pampered.

However, the bedding in Su Mei's room was still the same quilt she used before she got married. It was thick, but not wide enough for Su Mei to cover herself.

If she and Huo Jianguo were to build it together, they would probably have to stick together tightly to make it safe.

Otherwise at least one of them would be frozen to death.

Su Mei was too embarrassed to ask her mother for another quilt. Given the conditions at home, she felt that asking for another quilt would be embarrassing.

The couple lay on the bed and blew out the flickering kerosene lamp on the table. The room fell into darkness and awkwardness.

Time passed slowly. Su Mei couldn't sleep and felt a chill on her back. She couldn't help but ask Huo Jianguo:

"Huo Jianguo, are you asleep?"

"No." Huo Jianguo's voice sounded softly. He had no intention of sleeping at all. He was waiting for Su Mei to fall asleep first.

He would wait until she fell asleep and then hold her in his arms. When she woke up tomorrow morning, he would say that she had come to him on her own... Huo Jianguo seemed to have tasted some kind of sweetness and was enjoying it.

But tonight he miscalculated. After waiting for a long time, Su Mei was still tossing and turning, and seemed not to be sleepy at all. Seeing that she really couldn't sleep, Huo Jianguo got up and lit the kerosene lamp. In the dim light, he looked at Su Mei with a sharp gaze:

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

"It's a little cold." Su Mei yawned as she spoke, her eyes filled with sleepiness.

Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei after hearing this. There was a gap between the two of them, the width of a palm. He thought for a moment and squeezed his body towards Su Mei:

"Now, is it still cold?"

"Better!" But still cold. Su Mei even raised the exposed hand and breathed softly while speaking.

Huo Jianguo couldn't help but frown when he heard the sound of Su Mei breathing. A voice in his heart kept yelling, "If you don't take the initiative to hug her, are you still a man?"

He wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of causing Su Mei's disgust.

Last time he almost executed Su Mei on the spot. For several days afterwards, Huo Jianguo could feel that as soon as he lay down on the bed, an uncomfortable fear would appear in Su Mei's eyes.

The fear was too obvious. Although Huo Jianguo thought it was natural for a couple to sleep together, he was unwilling to force Su Mei and make her feel scared.

So even if he wanted to hold Su Mei in his arms while sleeping, Huo Jianguo could only wait until she fell asleep and then take her into his arms, and then put the blame on her, saying that it was her who took the initiative.

That way at least she had no reason to be disgusted.

Marriage is a lifelong thing. Huo Jianguo feels that his marriage with Su Mei was not easy to begin with. He now just wants to make it a long-lasting one and maintain it well, and is unwilling to rush into anything.

But his mind was thinking one thing, while his body was thinking another. Huo Jianguo felt that his hands seemed to have their own consciousness.

Several times, his right hand seemed to have a soul and he couldn't help but want to rest it under Su Mei's head.

Reason told Huo Jianguo that he had to wait a little longer, but his body was always restless.

Hand: I want to hold her while sleeping.

Huo Jianguo: Wait a little longer.

There is almost a struggle between man and hand.

"Ha!" In the quiet air, the sound of Su Mei sneezing was suddenly heard. She was so cold that her voice became nasal.

“It’s so cold!”

The next moment, Huo Jianguo's hand won. Before he had time to think about anything, his long arms had already stretched out and naturally picked up Su Mei into his arms.

"Huo Jianguo........."

"Yeah!" Huo Jianguo responded in a low and gentle voice.

Su Mei's face was forced to stick to Huo Jianguo's chest. His chest was solid and full of muscles, and his strong heart was beating wildly in his chest.

"Are you sick?" Su Mei suddenly felt like teasing him. She stretched out her finger and poked Huo Jianguo's heart:

"Why is your heart beating so fast?"
