After dinner, Lin Xiuqin started to clean up.
Chen Wang originally wanted to help, but Lin Xiuqin pushed him away, signaling him not to worry.
Thinking that she was already his wife, there was no need to be pretentious, so he asked his sister to help with some chores, and he went to the front room, moved a wooden chair, and sat down at the door to think about life.
To be honest, the food was not very oily, so I didn’t feel very full after eating two bowls.
The texture of the multi-grain rice was also rough and difficult to swallow. It was nothing like the fat-reducing multi-grain rice that Chen Wang would eat when he got tired of eating meat and fish and wanted to control his diet.
Because he had just been reborn, Chen Wang had no complaints about this kind of life. Instead, he felt a sense of novelty.
Of course, he also knew that if he ate such meals for a few more days, he would not be able to bear it.
Thinking about how his sister and wife had just eaten a few pieces of bacon and how they looked so happy and satisfied, Chen Wang wanted to make money even more urgently.
As a man of the new era, Chen Wang used to feed the whole family if one person was well fed. Now that he has such a lovely sister and a virtuous and beautiful wife, he just wants them to live a good life with him.
Thinking of how Silly Awang's father often went into the mountains to collect herbs, Chen Wang began to wonder whether he should try it too.
But then he thought that he knew nothing about these things. Even if he was lucky enough to come across precious medicinal herbs, he wouldn't be able to identify their value!
Or go hunting in the mountains?
You know what, this actually seems to be a possible solution.
Chen Wang was a shooting enthusiast in his previous life and a long-time VIP member of the archery hall. In his spare time, he would either stay at home playing games or go to the shooting hall to play.
In addition, when he was on a business trip abroad, he specially went to experience live-fire shooting for a few days and followed local hunters to hunt black bears.
It cost a lot of money, but it was really fun.
All in all, Chen Wang is quite skilled in shooting.
Of course, hunting in the mountains requires more than just shooting skills, you also need to understand a lot of things.
What excited Chen Wang the most was that there was no comprehensive ban on guns in those days, and it seemed that double-barreled shotguns could be bought in the supply and marketing cooperatives and cultural and sports stores in the town.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
I heard my sister's voice behind me.
Chen Wang turned his head and saw the little girl pulling the pull-cord switch on the wall and turning on the light in the main room.
The village had electricity last year, but power outages still occur frequently.
Rural people are used to saving money and won’t turn on the lights unless there is something important.
Most families haven’t bought a TV yet, and there isn’t much entertainment after dark, so people basically just sleep.
"Nothing, come here, I want to ask you something!"
Chen Wang smiled and waved.
The little girl ran to his side happily, smiled sweetly and said, "What's the matter?"
"Didn't Dad often go into the mountains before? Did he leave anything behind?"
"Um... I don't know. I almost forgot what my parents look like."
Speaking of this, the smile on the little girl's face disappeared, and her expression became sad and lonely.
Chen Wang raised his hand and rubbed her head, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, brother shouldn't ask you this, I'll ask your sister-in-law later."
The little girl narrowed her eyes slightly and responded obediently.
After a while, Lin Xiuqin came over after cleaning the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, did my father leave anything behind?"
The little girl rushed to help ask.
Lin Xiuqin was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Chen Wang with her beautiful eyes.
"It's like this. I wanted to go into the mountains to hunt. Didn't Dad go into the mountains often before? I was wondering if there was anything that could help me."
Chen Wang explained with a smile.
When Lin Xiuqin learned that he wanted to go into the mountains, her pretty face turned pale and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"Brother, don't go to the mountains. It's dangerous there!"
His sister also grabbed his sleeves in panic, her little hands clenched tightly.
Of course Chen Wang knew that this was because the sudden death of both his parents had left them with psychological trauma.
"Okay, okay, I won't go. I won't go. It's a bit cold. Let's go inside!"
He could only compromise temporarily and comfort the two of them, thinking that he would have a good talk with Lin Xiuqin after his sister fell asleep.
It was the beginning of winter a few days ago, and it was still a bit cold at night, so I quickly closed the door and went into the house.
Nowadays, people in rural areas basically use wood stoves to cook dinner, and then quickly boil water for use when taking a bath.
Lin Xiuqin took the little girl to take a bath first, while Chen Wang went back to his room and lay down for a while until he heard his sister's call from the back room, then he got up to take a bath.
My sister has gone back to her room.
When her parents were still alive, they did not have the idea of favoring boys over girls like other rural families. On the contrary, they doted on this girl and bought her many fairy tale books.
I don’t know how many times I have read those books now, they are almost torn apart, but the little girl still reads a few chapters every night.
Lin Xiuqin pointed to the wooden chair there and motioned for him to sit down.
Chen Wang scratched his head and sat down obediently as he was told.
Then he watched Lin Xiuqin busy herself.
First, he took the basin and fetched hot water from the pot on the wood stove, then he went to the well to press some cold water. After stirring the water with his hands and feeling that the water temperature was suitable, he brought the basin over and placed it at his feet.
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome. I can do it myself later. You just sit down and wash first!"
Chen Wang felt a little embarrassed and made a move to stand up.
Lin Xiuqin frowned, put her hands on his shoulders, shook her head seriously, and then made a few quick gestures.
Chen Wang didn't understand sign language, but seeing that she was so determined, he had to give up.
"All right!"
He lifted his feet, took off Lin Xiuqin's handmade cotton shoes and socks, and put his big feet into the water.
The water temperature was just right, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
His soul suddenly traveled to this era. His heart had actually been tense the whole time, but only at this moment did he feel a little relaxed.
Lin Xiuqin suddenly squatted down, reached her hand into the water, and gently massaged the instep of his feet.
Chen Wang's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at the woman gently.
Her hands, which had been working for many years, were naturally not as soft and boneless as described in novels. They even felt a little rough, but they gently soothed Chen Wang's slightly nervous and uneasy soul.
Chen Wang was inexplicably envious of silly Awang. It seems that fools are blessed with good fortune.
From Lin Xiuqin's skillful movements, one can feel that she must have been taking care of silly Awang like this all the time.
Apart from the fact that she can't speak, Lin Xiuqin should be considered the most ideal wife in any man's mind.
Having said that, if the problem of muteness is acquired, it should be possible to cure it.
If the domestic medical level is not enough, you can also find a way to go abroad.
The key is to make money.
After Lin Xiuqin used a towel to dry his feet, she went to get a basin of warm water and wanted to wipe his body.
This time, Chen Wang insisted on doing it himself.
