After Xiao Luo left, Wei Mingshen hurriedly added corn cobs to the brazier, then sat down next to Su Xueli to cut thatch, making a pile for her to use, and then went to color the little figures she had woven.
He seems even busier than Su Xueli.
Su Xueli watched with delight, seeing how well this guy was getting at it.
She started to worry: what if she divorced him in the future and Lin Meizhi wouldn't allow him to do it for her?
Where can I find such a good helper?
She tentatively asked, "Hey, let me ask you something. What if after we get divorced, your wife won't allow you to do straw weaving with me anymore?"
"Who is my wife?" Wei Mingshen was seriously playing a Sun Wukong character.
"Your wife must be Lin Meizhi! Who else could it be?"
Wei Mingshen frowned; he really hadn't considered this question.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "No, even if I get divorced, I can still work to pay off the debts. At least I can pay them off completely."
Su Xueli felt a pang of disappointment. What if she paid off all the debts?
Wei Mingshen suddenly straightened up and looked at her intently, a smile playing on his lips as he asked, "Are you reluctant to part with me?"
Su Xueli refused to admit it, and pouted, ignoring him.
Wei Mingshen grinned. Then, he asked her seriously, "If I work overtime with you these past few days, how will you reward me?"
Su Xueli said, "Didn't I promise you I'd buy you a trench coat?"
"Anything else?"
Su Xueli tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll treat you to Farewell Chicken."
She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, and her face began to burn slightly.
Last time he ate that "Farewell My King Chicken", he made pancakes on his bed in the middle of the night and ran out to "go to the toilet" several times.
As someone who's been through it all, she knows why...
"It's a deal!" Wei Mingshen said before she could change her mind.
Since she couldn't take back what she had said, Su Xueli had no choice but to give up. She thought about how he could stay at her parents' house after eating her food that day, and that would ease the awkwardness. Let him suffer as he pleased.
Thinking about it that way, I couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you thinking about, smiling so lewdly?" He actually saw it.
Su Xueli hurriedly covered her face with the straw in her hand, "When did I laugh? It's your own lewd thoughts that are the problem."
Wei Mingshen smiled and shook his head, deciding not to pursue the matter further.
The sound of a mule cart entering the house could be heard outside, followed by Cao Maizi's shout: "Shenzi, come out and help us carry the New Year's goods! Oh dear, my hands are about to freeze off."
Wei Mingshen hurriedly dropped what he was doing, opened the door, and ran out.
Su Xueli quickly turned up the fire, got up and poured two cups of hot water, and called to her parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, come inside and have a cup of water to warm your hands. Ming Shen and I are unloading things into the house."
He then went out of the house.
My in-laws were quite cold; their faces were flushed, and their hands were as red as carrots.
They stopped being polite to their daughter-in-law and left the mule cart to warm themselves by the fire and drink water in her living room.
Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen went together to unload the New Year's goods in her parents-in-law's living room.
Seeing that her parents-in-law had bought a lot of pork and two roast chickens, Su Xueli smiled and said to Wei Mingshen, "Your parents are so generous, they bought a lot of meat."
Wei Mingshen glanced into the room and whispered, "It's for worshipping the gods. We both have to go with them on the first day of the lunar new year."
Su Xueli chuckled, "So it's for the gods. I thought it was for me."
