In the evening, Su Man prepared some water for Li Zhuang to wash his face.
Li Xiang's sleeping place was occupied by Li Zhuang. Before he left, he slept in Su Man's outer room, but now Li Zhuang was very wary of him and refused to let him get close to Su Man.
So Li Zhuang moved out of the main house and slept in Su Man's outer room.
As for why she didn't sleep in the same room with Su Man, it was because Su Man told her that the disease was transmitted by sleeping together, and she didn't want to harm Li Zhuang.
So even though Li Zhuang liked Su Man, he was very cautious and didn't dare to go beyond the line.
Li Zhuang worked in the fields every day, and soon after he fell down, snoring could be heard from the outer room.
Su Man made the quilt and was about to lie down when she heard a noise from the door lock.
The next second, the door opened and a dark shadow flashed in.
"who?"
"Don't scream, it's me."
Li Xiang shone the flashlight on his face, and the pale light made his face flicker.
Suman: I want to shout even more...
She adjusted her mood and said sullenly, "I am your sister-in-law now. If Dazhuang sees you coming in like this, he will be angry."
"I was just about to ask you, what's going on between you and Big Brother? Doesn't he really hate you?"
Su Man looked at him with a resentful expression, "Does he hate me or do you hate me?"
Li Xiang felt a little guilty. "That's not what I meant. I just... well, forget it. It's too late today. Let's go to bed early."
He was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Su Man hugged him from behind. Before he could struggle, a pair of hands touched his chest.
"Don't go."
Feeling the warmth on his back, Li Xiang's body instantly tensed up, and all the sweet memories he had had with Jia Man came to his mind.
But he soon came to his senses. Su Man's current identity was his sister-in-law. If Li Zhuang saw it, it would be like an eight-magnitude earthquake.
Just as he was about to pull Su Man's hand away, he suddenly felt the fabric on his back getting damp.
Is she, crying?
"you..."
"I missed you so much..."
She cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound, and his heart felt like it was thrown on a bungee jumping machine, going up and down.
After a long time, Li Xiang took Su Man's hand and pulled her in front of him, wanting to see her expression at the moment.
But Su Man turned her face away and told him not to look, "Don't look at me, I'm crying so ugly."
Li Xiang chuckled. This night, this familiar coquettishness, seemed to pull him back to their past love. He instinctively coaxed, "You are the most beautiful no matter what."
...
Speaking of Li Xiang’s “girlfriends”, Jia Man is undoubtedly the most special one.
Although he approached her with a purpose, he often forgot his original intention when getting along with her.
He clearly needs care like a small animal, but she always wants to protect him from the wind and rain.
He had no money to go on dates, but instead of complaining, she took the initiative to do odd jobs and bought him gifts.
Once upon a time, he also thought that if he could marry Jia Man, perhaps he would be very happy in his life.
[Li Xiang's favorability increased by 15, current favorability is 55]
"call..."
The snoring interrupted Li Xiang's memories. He let go of Su Man's hand as if he had been electrocuted. "It's too late. I'm leaving."
Li Xiang wanted to leave, but Su Man would not let him go so easily. She held his arm and refused to let him go. "No, you can't leave."
"Shhhhhh!"
Su Man's voice was so loud that it scared Li Xiang, who quickly shushed her.
During the struggle, Suman "accidentally" knocked over the bench, making a "clang" sound.
At the same time, the snoring outside also stopped abruptly, scaring Li Xiang so much that he became numb and dared not move.
Fortunately, apart from the snoring, there was no movement from Li Zhuang, and Li Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't dare to say anything else. He pushed Su Man inside, locked the door and left.
"Click"
The outhouse door was closed.
Li Zhuang, who should have been asleep, opened his eyes. The moonlight shone on his face, creating a gloomy look.
-
“Chuckle…”
The roosters crowed loudly. Zhao Chunhua first took the key to open Su Man's door and called her to cook together.
After the meal was served, Zhao Chunhua asked Su Man to wake Li Zhuang and the others up.
Su Man put down the porridge that had just come out of the pot, wiped her hands and went into the house, "Da Zhuang, get up and eat."
Hearing Su Man's voice, Li Zhuang got up from his bed and only responded with a "Yeah."
Su Man sensed something was wrong and looked at Li Zhuang twice more.
There was a dark circle under Li Zhuang's eyes. When she handed him a towel, he was not as happy as before. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Man guessed that he must have been woken up last night, but she didn't say much and went out quietly to serve the meal.
Li Zhuang was very quiet the entire morning. After dinner, he didn't leave the table immediately. He glanced at Li Xiang and said suddenly, "I have to plow the soil today. Dad can't get up. Second brother, come with me."
Li Xiang paused. Li Zhuang had always looked down on him, and now he suddenly wanted to go to the fields with him...
He obviously thought about last night as well. He exchanged glances with Su Man and said vaguely, "Well, okay."
After breakfast, Zhao Chunhua fed Li Pozi medicine, and Li Zhuang and Li Xiang carried their hoes and went out.
Su Man cleaned up the kitchen by herself and started to clean up inside and outside.
By the time we were almost done, it was almost lunch time.
Zhao Chunhua came out of the house yawning, "The eldest and second sons haven't come back yet at this time. I'm afraid they have too much work to do. Go and bring them some food."
There was some leftover dry food from the morning on the stove. I stuffed some pickles into it and that was my lunch.
Su Man carried the basket and went out. During the time she was here, she had become familiar with her neighbors and could even greet them in dialect.
