Throughout the whole process, Wei Hanzhou stared at Liu Tangxi, not missing any changes in her expression.
However, he was ultimately disappointed.
Not only did Liu Tangxi not hide, she also took the initiative to say: "Do you want to change your underwear? Then change quickly. Didn't you just fall into the snow? It must be very cold."
Thinking that it was his fault that caused Wei Hanzhou to be like this, Liu Tangxi was very eager to get the clothes from the closet for Wei Hanzhou.
Wei Hanzhou looked at Liu Tangxi's slightly excited eyes, paused with his hand on the belt, and finally gave up the battle. He picked up the clean coat in his hand, shook it off, and quickly put it on.
"No need."
Seeing Wei Hanzhou put on his clothes very quickly, Liu Tangxi showed a look of regret on his face.
What is this man doing? He didn't take it off at first, then he wanted to take it off, and then he didn't want to take it off again. He was so hesitant and indecisive.
Wei Hanzhou didn't know what Liu Tangxi was thinking. After changing his clothes, he took out a few books from his bag and walked towards the study. After arriving at the study, he wiped the table and chair with a cloth and sat down in front of the desk.
Looking at the book spread out in front of him and thinking about what had just happened, Wei Hanzhou let out a deep breath.
I really don't know what kind of people taught a girl with that kind of personality.
She could embroider and read, and it was obvious that she came from a wealthy family. Moreover, such a wealthy family should not be simple. According to his understanding, even the county magistrate's family or the wealthy families in the county town would not teach their daughters so many things.
But if they are a wealthy family, why are they so skilled in lighting fires, cooking, cleaning the chicken coop and pigpen?
Judging from his hands, he has never done any rough work and probably seldom does it at home.
So how did she do that?
I heard from my mother and sister-in-law that not only can she do it, but she is also very skilled at it. She is not afraid of getting dirty or tired, as if she has been doing it for years.
This adaptability may not be too good.
Embroidery, reading, feeding pigs and making fires seem contradictory and cannot possibly come from the same girl.
Moreover, there are more contradictions in her.
For example, his temperament changed from the second day on, and he said he had lost his memory even though he clearly didn't, and he refused to leave.
However, when he thought of her magical abilities, Wei Hanzhou felt that those contradictions were nothing.
Could it be that...she is really a fairy from heaven?
When Wei Hanzhou thought of the word "fairy", he instantly remembered the way Liu Tangxi stared at him just now, and immediately denied his conclusion.
Haha, how can there be such a shameless fairy.
Liu Tangxi didn't know that Wei Hanzhou regarded her as a fairy in his heart, and a shameless fairy at that. She picked up her embroidery work and continued to embroider.
The weather is too cold now, so it’s okay to play outside, but embroidering is impossible.
On weekdays, the sisters-in-law either embroidered in their own rooms, or lit the stove in the main room and embroidered by the stove.
There are many people at home right now, so it's not convenient to go to the main room.
Liu Tangxi sat on the bed, covered with a quilt, and began to embroider flowers.
In the evening, the family sat together and had a good meal.
After dinner, Liu Tangxi packed up and returned to the house.
After returning home, she naturally spread out the two quilts on the bed and spread them all on the bed.
After making the bed, I was about to go to bed, but when I saw the bright red quilt in front of me, I was suddenly stunned.
This quilt belongs to Wei Hanzhou, not hers. It was fine when Wei Hanzhou was not at home before, but now that he is back, she can no longer occupy his quilt.
only……
There are only two quilts in this room, no other quilts.
Besides, she now doesn't feel warm enough with two quilts. Should she give one to Wei Hanzhou?
But if he is not given a bed, how are the two of them supposed to sleep?
Otherwise, go ask Li for a quilt?
As soon as this idea came out, it was rejected by Liu Tangxi.
Regardless of whether Li had any extra quilts, they must have rested by now, so it would not be appropriate for her to go in.
Liu Tangxi was in deep entanglement.
After struggling for a long time, she thought of a solution.
She decided not to take off her clothes tonight, but to sleep in her clothes and cover herself with a blanket. That way, she wouldn't be cold at night.
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi folded up the top quilt and placed it at the end of the bed.
Looking at this quilt, Liu Tangxi's face showed a lot of reluctance and regret.
About an hour later, Wei Hanzhou came back.
After returning, Wei Hanzhou regained his composure as if nothing happened. After washing up, Wei Hanzhou began to make his bed. After making it, he wanted to get the quilt from the closet, but suddenly found the quilt at the end of the bed.
Wei Hanzhou just glanced at the quilt at the end of the bed, and Liu Tangxi immediately felt guilty.
"Well, well, I dried the quilt for you a few days ago, and I wanted to dry it for you again today, but the weather was bad, so I didn't dry it. I just left it here and forgot to put it away for you."
If Liu Tangxi hadn't explained, Wei Hanzhou wouldn't have thought much about it. But when he heard her say this, he immediately felt that there seemed to be something going on here that he didn't know about.
Thinking of Liu Tangxi's personality, Wei Hanzhou felt that it was probably because the quilt was dirty, or some other reason.
So, after glancing at Liu Tangxi lightly, Wei Hanzhou raised his hand and took the quilt away.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou like this, Liu Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Hanzhou spread out the bedding and lay down on it.
Liu Tangxi originally thought that Wei Hanzhou would feel that the quilt was too thin or something, but he simply took off his outer shirt and lay there, not looking cold at all.
Is he not afraid of the cold?
When Liu Tangxi thought of this, he became extremely jealous.
Seeing that Wei Hanzhou had already laid down with his eyes closed, Liu Tangxi also put down what he was holding and blew out the candles on the table.
At this moment she was still wearing a thick jacket. Although she was not cold lying in bed, it was really uncomfortable.
She felt as if something was tied up around her body and it was difficult for her to turn over.
But looking at Wei Hanzhou, there was no movement at all, as if he didn't exist.
After lying there for a long time, sleepiness finally overcame the discomfort and Liu Tangxi gradually fell asleep.
Liu Tangxi's room became quiet, but Wei Hanzhou, whom she envied, was still awake.
The moment the quilt covered his body, Wei Hanzhou knew what Liu Tangxi was feeling guilty about.
There was a sweet fragrance on the quilt, and as soon as he lay down, the smell penetrated his nose.
Just like the smell he often smelled in the house.
Moreover, it feels soft when worn on the body.
This quilt must have been used by her.
When he thought of this, Wei Hanzhou not only did not feel cold on this cold winter day, he even felt a little hot.
Listening to the soft and long breathing sounds coming from inside the room, Wei Hanzhou lifted the quilt covering his chest a little.
A slight coolness came over him, and Wei Hanzhou felt his mind became much clearer.
I opened my eyes and looked at the dark roof, reciting in my mind the book I had just memorized that night.
After reciting the poem, I calmed down and closed my eyes to go to sleep.
However, just as he closed his eyes, he thought of something. After a moment, he opened his eyes again.
He sighed slightly, lifted the quilt, sat up, put on his coat, walked out of the room quietly, and went towards the main room.
Wei Lao San and Li had already fallen asleep, but they were old, sleepy, and light. When they heard their son's voice, they woke up immediately and opened the door for him.
"Third brother, what's going on? What happened?" Li asked anxiously.
Wei Hanzhou had never called them at night, so when Li was suddenly woken up by him, she was a little panicked.
"It's nothing, my son just wet the quilt by accident while washing his feet, so he wanted to come over to get another quilt." Wei Hanzhou lied calmly.
Li let out a breath, and a smile appeared on her face. She said, "Oh, I thought it was nothing. You scared me. Wait a minute. I'll go inside and get it for you."
"Um."
Soon, Li took out a new quilt that had never been used from the storage room and handed it to Wei Hanzhou.
"Use this one. Your wife likes cleanliness. This is the quilt that mother just made this year. The cotton is new and warm."
"Thank you, mom."
"Thank you, go back and don't freeze your wife."
"Um."
In the darkness, Wei Hanzhou felt a little embarrassed.
After talking to Li, Wei Hanzhou went back with the new quilt.
After entering the room, Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi who was lying on the bed. At this moment, she was hugging the quilt tightly around her body, almost curled up in the quilt.
It looks extremely cold.
Wei Hanzhou was just about to cover Liu Tangxi with the new quilt in his hand, but suddenly he thought of the quilt he had just covered himself with that disturbed him, and hesitated for a moment.
But, in the end, Wei Hanzhou still covered Liu Tangxi with the new quilt, and he went to sleep on the quilt with a faint fragrance.
Just disturb people if you want to. It'll be fine once you get used to it.
Wei Hanzhou comforted himself in this way.
Sniffing the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, Wei Hanzhou gradually fell asleep.
At the beginning of the morning hour, it was still dark outside. The northwest wind made the windows creak, and Wei Hanzhou woke up.
In the past, he woke up around this time, but today he woke up a little earlier.
Wei Hanzhou looked down at the quilt on his body and raised his hand to lift it up.
No wonder she secretly covered him with a blanket when he was not at home. It was just too cold.
He slept soundly that night.
After getting up, Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi lying on the bed. Although it was still dark, her face was very white and could be seen at a glance. Although he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, he could feel that she was sleeping soundly.
After taking a look, Wei Hanzhou put on thick clothes and went out.
Liu Tangxi slept very comfortably that night. Not only did she not feel cold, she even felt a little hot. I vaguely remember that I seemed to feel too hot and took off my clothes.
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi slowly opened his eyes and touched his clothes.
Liu Tangxi confirmed her guess. Sure enough, she really took off her clothes while sleeping and it was not a dream.
But before, she had to cover herself with two quilts to feel just right. Why was she feeling hot now that she was covered with only one quilt?
Liu Tangxi was a little confused.
Just as he was wondering, Liu Tangxi just turned over and noticed something was wrong.
Is the quilt on your body too heavy?
Reaching out and touching the quilt, then looking down, Liu Tangxi instantly came to his senses.
When did she start covering herself with two quilts?
Moreover, if she saw correctly, the top quilt was just put on by Li a few days ago, and the cotton was all new.
Looking into the room again, Wei Hanzhou was gone, and the quilt he had covered himself with was now lying at the end of the bed.
If she didn't do this herself, then it could only be Wei Hanzhou.
Wei Hanzhou actually secretly covered her with a quilt?
This quilt must have been put on last night, otherwise she would have been freezing cold all night.
Thinking of how Wei Hanzhou only had one quilt for himself but went to Li's house late at night to ask for a new quilt for her, Liu Tangxi pursed her lips.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
Looking at the brand new quilt on her body, a smile gradually appeared on Liu Tangxi's lips.
Dog man, not bad~
After lying down for a while, Liu Tangxi put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
It was not her turn to cook today, but she was in a good mood and wanted to cook something that Wei Hanzhou liked, so she took the initiative to ask for help and took it from Zhou.
Cooking was not a hard job, and for some reason, Liu Tangxi's cooking tasted better than theirs, so Zhou didn't have any qualms and handed it over to her directly. She did Liu Tangxi's work, such as feeding pigs and chickens, cleaning the yard, etc.
Although they usually drink porridge in the morning, Liu Tangxi knows that Wei Hanzhou doesn't like porridge very much. He prefers egg soup.
So, Liu Tangxi made egg soup.
There were many people in the family now, and it was New Year's Day, so there were lots of eggs, so Liu Tangxi extravagantly beat four eggs, broke them into pieces, and poured them into the pot after it was opened.
As soon as I got in, I quickly pushed it open with a spoon. After pushing it gently for a while, the whole pot was full of egg flowers, and it seemed that there were more than four eggs.
After the pot was opened, Liu Tangxi added some seasonings into it.
Soon, a pot of egg soup was ready.
After it was cooked, some vegetable meatballs that had been fried a few days ago were put in and simmered for a while. Then, it was served out in bowls.
The egg soup is delicious whether it is used to soak meatballs or steamed buns.
Liu Tangxi cut the cold, hard steamed buns that had not been heated up into small pieces and put them in a large bowl.
Because some people like to eat meatballs that are a little mushy, and some people like to eat them after boiling for breakfast, so Liu Tangxi put the unboiled meatballs into another large bowl and brought them to the table.
In addition, she also brought two plates of pickled vegetables that Li had prepared earlier.
This meal was eaten hot.
Liu Tangxi noticed that Wei Hanzhou had eaten a lot this morning. Seeing that he had eaten a lot, Liu Tangxi also smiled.
After dinner, Li took a look at the sky and said to Liu Tangxi, "My dear third brother's wife, didn't he say last night that your quilt was wet by him? You should take it out and dry it in the sun. It will probably be sunny today."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was slightly startled and looked at Wei Hanzhou who was about to walk towards the study.
Wei Hanzhou glanced at her, said nothing, and continued walking towards the study.
When Wei Hanzhou entered the study, Li saw that her daughter-in-law had not moved yet, so she smiled and said, "You two, the third child is already an adult. Last night, he even wet the quilt when he washed his feet. So he suddenly knocked on the door last night and asked for a quilt. It just so happened that I had a quilt in the fall, so I gave it to them first."
Li did not say these words casually.
There was only one new quilt in the house, which was given to the third child but not to the eldest and second child. This inevitably made the eldest and second child's families feel dissatisfied.
Not only did Zhang not think much about it, she also made up for Wei Hanzhou: "Third brother is probably too obsessed with reading, that's why he is like this. Mother, I feel embarrassed for saying that."
As she spoke, Zhang glanced at Liu Tangxi's expression.
Zhou didn't think much about it. Compared with the help Liu Tangxi provided to their family, a quilt was not that important.
"I guess so. He has been fascinated by reading since he was young." Li followed her daughter-in-law's words and said, "Now we are busy with the New Year. When spring comes, I will buy some cotton and make a few more beds. I will prepare one for your family so that no one else will get their quilt wet."
If you want a harmonious family, you have to treat everyone equally.
Li had never liked Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao Si. It was simply because their parents-in-law gave them all the good things, while they, who worked every day, were the ones who got the bad things.
Now that she is a mother-in-law, she naturally doesn't want her two older sons to dislike the youngest son.
From Li's words, Liu Tangxi understood what was going on.
Wei Hanzhou went to Li and asked for a quilt for her, under the pretext that he had wet the quilt.
How come this man suddenly came to his senses? He was quite happy to be arguing with her before, but he didn't give her a good face when he came back yesterday.
After thinking for a while, Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll take the baby out right away. Let's dry the other bed while the weather is nice."
"OK."
After drying the quilt, Liu Tangxi did not go to play snowballs with the little kids. After thinking for a while, she went to the stove.
Wei Hanzhou only covered himself with a quilt last night, and he wondered if he would catch a cold. There was no stove in the study, and it was so cold, what if his cold got worse?
The medical care here is so underdeveloped that there is not even a doctor in every village. If you really get sick, what if you are as seriously ill as Wei Lao San?
So, Liu Tangxi decided to make a pot of ginger soup for him.
Li saw her go to the stove again and asked, "Hey, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Liu Tangxi explained with a smile: "Mom, I saw that Bosheng and the others started to have runny noses from playing in the snow every day, so I thought of making some ginger soup for them to warm their bodies and prevent them from catching a cold."
After hearing this, Li praised: "You are really thoughtful."
Liu Tangxi felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Li.
After a while, Liu Tangxi finished cooking the ginger soup. In order to make it taste better, Liu Tangxi even added some sugar.
After it was done, Liu Tangxi first called the children to the main room, asked them to sit down and each drank a bowl of soup.
Normally, children hate drinking ginger soup because it is very spicy.
But Liu Tangxi added sugar, and everything Liu Tangxi made was delicious, so everyone held their bowls and started drinking.
Seeing that they liked the drink, Liu Tangxi filled a bowl and went to the study.
When Liu Tangxi passed by, Wei Hanzhou was reading a book with his head down.
"Husband, the weather is cold, why not drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up?" Liu Tangxi said with a smile.
Looking at Liu Tangxi's smile and thinking about the disturbing dream he had last night, Wei Hanzhou's Adam's apple moved slightly. ,,
