Chapter 104 No gentlemanly manners at all
Xie Jian followed her and continued writing the letter.
When I looked up after finishing the letter, I saw that Ah Heng had dozed off, nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice.
"Go to bed if you're tired."
Chen Heng opened her eyes and continued reading: "I'm not sleepy." If you don't work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. She only read one page and stopped.
Xie Jian shook his head and continued to copy from the manuscript until he finished the remaining pages. He put down his pen and looked at the person sleeping on the table. A rare smile flashed in his eyes.
After cleaning up the table and putting the pens and books back in their places, Xie Jian shook Shen Heng and said, "Go to bed."
Chen Heng didn't move at all.
It was her turn. When she felt uncomfortable, she would always wake up and go to bed by herself. Xie Jian took off his coat and placed it on the wooden beam, blew out the light and went to bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he thought for a moment, got up and went to Chen Heng's side: "Let me carry you to bed."
With one hand steadying her back and the other supporting her legs, he exerted force, but Shen Heng didn't move at all.
In an instant, Xie Jian's face turned sour. This woman was so heavy.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Heng felt her hands and neck ache. She opened her eyes dazedly and found that she had fallen asleep on the table. She got up drowsily and walked towards the bed. She saw Xie Jian sleeping soundly. This kid was cold and indifferent during the day, and he slept very well at night. It seemed as if he was measured by a ruler no matter what he did.
"You have no gentlemanly manners at all. Seeing me sleeping like this, won't you carry me to bed? After all, I am your wife in name only." Shen Heng muttered as she climbed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the bed.
At this moment, Xie Jian, who had his eyes closed, opened them with a sour look on his face.
The next morning, Xia made corn dumpling soup and a few bowls of beef soup made with rice flour.
Xie Jian said that he wanted his family to eat the beef, but Xia was thinking of a way to keep the beef for a few more days so that Xie Jian could also eat it.
"Sister-in-law, these corn dumplings are so delicious. Do you have any more?" Chen Heng couldn't finish one bowl.
"Yes, I'll serve it to you." Xia filled another bowl.
"Mom, I want some too." Xiao Miner handed the bowl to his mother.
Chen Heng was eating happily when she looked up inadvertently and saw Xie Jian watching her eat. His usually indifferent expression was hard to describe. Hmm, I don't know how to put it, but it seemed like Xie Jian seemed to be eating a lot?
Not really. He wasn’t so stingy when he was even poorer than he is now.
"Aheng, there is still a small bowl of corn dumplings left. Do you want to eat more?" Xia smiled as she looked at her sister-in-law who had a big appetite. It is better for girls to be a little fat. It brings good luck and good health. She will give birth to a big fat boy for Ajian in the future.
Shen Heng was about to agree, thinking it would be bad to waste it, when she heard Xie Jian say, "Sister-in-law, give it to me."
Chen Heng and Xia Shi were both stunned. This was unprecedented. You know, Xie Jian always ate just one bowl of rice or vegetables. He never ate more.
Then I thought again, this is because of growth.
Xia hurriedly gave him the last small bowl.
Because Xie Jian had to go to the post station to deliver a letter and was going the same way as Shen Heng, the two of them went out together.
From time to time people greeted them on the road, and Xie Jian responded with a smile.
Chen Heng couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Look at how steady and gentle he is in his demeanor, what a good first impression he makes.
"I heard from Brother Gu Feng that Gao Damei has been running to the government office these days." Xie Jian said, "He is acting as a matchmaker for the Master and Shen Yan."
"Didn't the Master refuse?" Shen Heng was surprised.
"Of course I refused, but Matchmaker Gao was also persistent."
"There's a reason why Gao Damei can become a great matchmaker." Shen Heng couldn't help but sigh.
