Secretly jealous bath (repair)
Ji Shaoyuan took the time to glance at the back seat and found that the child in Huo Chengfeng's arms was sleeping, and Huo Chengfeng himself had his eyes closed. He just thought that Huo Chengfeng was tired and was resting.
So end the topic consciously.
The carriage finally returned to silence.
Shi Mingzhu turned her head boredly to look at Huo Chengfeng, then looked at her son in his arms.
His posture of holding the child was completely correct, with one hand supporting the waist and the other supporting the head, so Yangyang was willing to lie in his arms and sleep obediently.
Although Huo Chengfeng closed his eyes, his ears were perked up, and he was listening silently to the movements in the car. The eyes are closed, but the ears are more sensitive and the sense of smell is more acute.
He could sense Shi Mingzhu approaching, and he didn't know whether she was looking at him or his son. Huo Chengfeng's eyelids twitched and he wanted to open his eyes, but he wanted to wait for Shi Mingzhu to talk to him before opening them.
Shi Mingzhu didn't know what he was thinking, but she kind of understood the reason why he closed his eyes. She knew that Huo Chengfeng had been looking at her frequently just now.
If Huo Chengfeng was only concerned with others and ignored her, she would have slapped him long ago. So, he must be angry that she ignored him.
She laughed secretly and ignored Huo Chengfeng! She reached out and gently touched her son's little hand, which was grabbed by Yangyang. The little hand only grasped one of her fingers.
The fragrance floated around his nose, and Huo Chengfeng felt so anxious that he couldn't help but open his eyes. He really wanted to know what she was doing.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the back of Shi Mingzhu's head. As expected, she was more concerned about her son. Huo Chengfeng raised his hands and held his son higher, and finally waited until Shi Mingzhu looked up and looked at him straight in the eye.
Shi Mingzhu saw the grievance on Huo Chengfeng's face.
She raised her eyebrows, and then she heard Huo Chengfeng say, "He's asleep, don't tease him, it's hard to comfort him if he wakes up crying."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently grasped her hand, just like a son would grasp her hand. He grasped her and turned his palm over, and her hand was in his palm, held firmly by him.
Shi Mingzhu said "oh" and glanced at her son, but he was not awake.
She then looked at her hand and shook it gently, but it didn't come loose. She raised her eyes to signal him to let go.
Huo Chengfeng looked at her steadily. Shi Mingzhu felt uneasy when he looked at her. The next moment, he shifted his gaze away and stared at her hands instead.
Her fingernails were pink, and Huo Chengfeng pressed down gently with his fingertips. He let go only when he saw her shrink back.
Shi Mingzhu looked at the finger that was pressed. It didn't hurt, but the sense of presence when it was pressed hard was very strong, and it was still there now. She suddenly remembered what Huo Chengfeng was feeling aggrieved about just now.
She looked at the man inquiringly, only to find that he seemed to be in a very good mood. He couldn't stop himself from being happy, with joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Yu Meizhen watched the interaction between her son and Shi Mingzhu and just wanted to sigh, it's over, there's always someone better.
It is clear at a glance who will defeat whom.
Huo Chengfeng held the child in his arms, leaning gently against the back of the chair, but his eyes were fixed steadily on the front and side.
Seeing Shi Mingzhu looking down at her hands, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Shi Mingzhu turned around and saw Huo Chengfeng holding the child and looking at her. After making eye contact with her, he looked away lightly.
It happened once, twice. It seemed like she was engaging in a battle of wits with him.
“…”
It wasn't until the third time that she heard Huo Chengfeng ask her, "We still have a long way to go, do you want to take a nap?"
Shi Mingzhu hummed slowly. She glanced at the man suspiciously and thought carefully about his actions just now. Why did she feel like he had succeeded? !
The carriage was very quiet in the second half of the journey, and both adults and children were sleeping. Originally, Shi Mingzhu just closed her eyes and thought, but she fell asleep unknowingly.
She was awakened by Huo Chengfeng.
"Home."
Huo Chengfeng put the hat on her and then put the coat on her.
Shi Mingzhu lazily let him help her put on her clothes. Thinking of some of his thoughts, she suddenly laughed out loud.
Huo Chengfeng was puzzled, but Shi Mingzhu had already gotten off the car.
She walked to the front of the car and thanked Ji Shaoyuan, "Thank you very much today. I will ask Huo Chengfeng to invite you to dinner at home some other day."
Ji Shaoyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, if you have anything, just come to me. I will be in Yanmen County for a while."
Shi Mingzhu nodded. She couldn't stay outside for long, so she went into the house with her mother-in-law and the child.
Huo Chengfeng patted his old friend on the shoulder and said, "Thank you very much for this time. How long do you plan to stay here?"
"It depends on the situation. I plan to open a clothing store in the county. I'm currently investigating it and should leave after the Chinese New Year," said Ji Shaoyuan.
"You're not going home for the New Year?"
Ji Shaoyuan smiled bitterly and said, "No, my parents have always wanted me to get married and settle down as soon as possible."
Huo Chengfeng's eyebrows moved, "Maybe your parents are right."
"Maybe that's right. I just want to find someone I like, like you and sister-in-law." Ji Shaoyuan said. He knew that Huo Chengfeng liked Shi Mingzhu. When Huo Chengfeng suddenly went back to his hometown to find someone and later suddenly had a partner, everyone understood.
When Huo Chengfeng and Shi Mingzhu got married, he was still working in the south and did not come back to attend their wedding, but he asked someone to bring a gift.
This is the first time I meet Shi Mingzhu.
Huo Chengfeng looked at the open door, inside was his wife and children, he patted his friend on the shoulder, Ji Shaoyuan's face muscles jumped, he heard him say, "Okay, I'm busy now, let's get together another day."
Ji Shaoyuan nodded. After Huo Chengfeng turned around and went back to the house, he touched his painful shoulder with a distorted expression, "You're still so strong, hiss!"
…
When Shi Mingzhu came back, she wanted to take a bath. She has been enduring in the hospital for 5 days and now she can't stand it anymore. As soon as she saw Huo Chengfeng enter the room, she urged him to boil water for her as she wanted to take a bath.
Yu Meizhen, who was holding the child at the side, said, "Why didn't you just say it directly? I thought you just didn't want to go back to your room."
Just now, after Yu Meizhen entered the house, she asked Shi Mingzhu to go back to her room, saying that she must not catch a cold. But Shi Mingzhu didn't want to go back, and didn't say why.
Shi Mingzhu: "If I tell you I want to take a shower, you will definitely not agree."
So you told Huo Chengfeng?
This seems to be the right idea. But Yu Meizhen was still speechless.
She turned around and carried the child back to her room, saying before turning around, "Make sure to boil the water before washing. Now, Mingzhu, go back to your room and wait. When the water boils, come back and call for help."
Shi Mingzhu said "oh" and reminded Huo Chengfeng before returning to her room, "Be sure to boil more water." She wanted to take a comfortable bath.
Shi Mingzhu rented a house with a yard. Her neighbors were all military families. She was sent back in a car. Everyone came out to watch in surprise, but they were still accepting of it. After all, she had seen some of the world.
After a while, a neighbor came to the door with something.
"Mingzhu, congratulations on becoming a mother. I brought you some eggs."
"I brought you some millet. When the baby is over 100 days old, you can feed him rice paste."
"I bought some red dates at the market in town a few days ago. I'll give some to you. Having a child is a serious sin. Eat more red dates to replenish your qi and blood."
The sisters-in-law in front of him still looked as young as in his memory, and Shi Mingzhu still remembered them.
She had a good relationship with her neighbors in her previous life. After Huo Chengfeng passed away, she went to deal with the follow-up matters, and they helped her take care of Yangyang for a period of time.
Later, she started a clothing business in Xitai Town. When she was busy, these sisters-in-law also helped her, and she has always been grateful.
Shi Mingzhu accepted all the gifts they gave her and thanked them sincerely, "Thank you, sisters-in-law."
"Why are you crying when I'm giving you something? You can't cry during the confinement period. When you're out of the confinement period, let's take the kids out for a walk together," said a sister-in-law. "My children at home are thinking about you."
Shi Mingzhu was pretty and gentle. She would not tease children too much and would even give them snacks, so all the children in her sisters-in-law's families liked her.
When Shi Mingzhu heard this, the moisture in her eyes suddenly disappeared, and she smiled and nodded in agreement.
The sisters-in-law chatted with Shi Mingzhu for a long time, until Huo Chengfeng came into the room and reminded Shi Mingzhu that the water was boiled, then they said goodbye and left.
"We'll come back another day."
"Mingzhu, just wash in the room. There's no need to move. Just ask Chengfeng to pour out the water after you're done. This way you won't catch a cold from the wind." Yu Meizhen said.
"Just listen to your mother." Shi Mingzhu had no objection as long as she could take a shower. "But I want you to help me wash." She said to Huo Chengfeng.
The man was stunned for a long while before nodding, "...Okay."
He was a little clumsy when he turned and left.
Yu Meizhen shook her head. She didn’t want to watch or hear anything, so she took the child and left.
Huo Chengfeng quickly brought in two buckets of hot water, put them down, and went out to fetch a bucket of cold water.
When he came in, he looked up and found that Shi Mingzhu was already taking off her clothes.
Huo Chengfeng just felt a "boom" in his head.
He stood still.
Shi Mingzhu looked down at the wound on her abdomen. It was a bit ugly and a bit itchy, making her want to scratch it. However, she resisted the urge to do so and looked up to see Huo Chengfeng still standing there stupidly.
"Come here quickly, why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Huo Chengfeng took a deep breath, raised his foot and stretched his tense muscles, then slowly walked towards her.
Her hair was disheveled, so Huo Chengfeng found a hair tie and tied it up. It was his first time to tie someone's hair, and he tied the hair crookedly. Shi Mingzhu felt her hair was being pulled, so she raised her hand and pulled it, but her scalp still hurt. She frowned and asked him to tie it again.
Shi Mingzhu: "If you don't know how to tie it, learn more in the future."
Huo Chengfeng glanced at her when he heard that. Helping her tie her hair would allow him to spend more time with her, so he was naturally happy to do so. No matter how much he thought in his mind, he just nodded lightly.
"I want to wash my hair. I haven't washed it in 5 days and it's itchy."
"Mom said I can't wash my hair yet, because it's easy to catch a cold."
Shi Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "By the time I could wash my hair, it was already greasy! Huo Chengfeng, you should think of a solution!" Her tone was naturally coquettish.
Huo Chengfeng pursed his lips and hummed in satisfaction, but he could only compromise and comfort her, "I'll wipe you with a wet towel later. How about not telling mom?"
In case Shi Mingzhu was unhappy and insisted on washing, he said sternly, "You really can't wash it. Your hair is long and can't dry quickly. It's really easy to catch a cold and you'll have a headache in the future."
Shi Mingzhu looked up at him. She was satisfied that he could wipe her with a wet towel, but after hearing what he said, she couldn't help but tease him. She looked touched and asked, "Why are you so nice?"
Huo Chengfeng looked at her silently. It was a small gesture, but she was so moved. He thought of something else and asked, "Is there anything I didn't do well?"
"More," Shi Mingzhu paused, leaving enough suspense.
Huo Chengfeng looked at her, waiting for her next sentence.
"For example, I ignored you just now and kept talking to your comrades. Were you jealous?" Shi Mingzhu smiled.
"...Can't I?" Huo Chengfeng didn't see her hidden smile, but just subconsciously thought that his reaction was normal, but his performance was not good.
"You are jealous indeed!" Shi Mingzhu looked excited.
"...Yes," Huo Chengfeng looked at her excitement and realized belatedly that he had been deceived. He boldly admitted it.
He looked at her, and the grievance he felt at that time came back to him. While wiping her body, he complained, "You have been ignoring me."
