He didn't pick up the books from the ground. He slowly took off his coat, turned off the light, and carefully lay down in bed.
"Hmm!" Su Xueli probably sensed in her dream that he was lying next to her, so she hummed and turned to face him, giving him her back.
Wei Mingshen's heart pounded. He gently slipped an arm under her neck and pulled her towards him, pulling her into his arms.
Slightly cool, with a small, soft body in his arms, he closed his eyes in bliss.
So during the few days of her period, the two of them slept together under the same blanket every night, never mentioning it when they went to sleep at dawn, tacitly understanding each other.
When Su Xueli woke up the next day, she felt much better. The slight bloating in her lower abdomen from the previous day had also disappeared. She secretly thanked Wei Mingshen.
After breakfast, she told Cao Maizi that she wanted to go to the market with her second aunt.
Cao Maizi was taken aback. "Your second aunt is willing to go to the market with you? You must have quite a bit of influence. She doesn't go out unless it's absolutely necessary."
Su Xueli smiled proudly, "I'm capable, aren't I?"
Cao Maizi and Wei Tiezhu laughed heartily.
They also felt that their daughter-in-law was indeed capable, and very capable at that!
With his wife gone, Wei Mingshen was finally free. He strode out the door, whistling as he went.
During the Spring Festival, the streets are packed with people, like a market, with men, women, the elderly, and children in large groups.
Some men play cards, some play chess, and some brag.
Women and old ladies gathered in groups of three or five, gossiping about this and that; children played with beanbags, kicked shuttlecocks, and some even argued because of playing, while adults would come over to break up the fights...
When a group of young men saw Wei Mingshen come out, they started to tease him, "Hey, you finally decided to come out? Why aren't you sleeping with your wife anymore!"
"Young man, take it easy, don't ruin your health. Even if you have land, you can't plow it every day. Plowing too often will make it hard to grow crops!"
"Let's see who wrestles with him and see how weak he is."
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter erupted in the street.
Wei Mingshen originally wanted to laugh it off and let these rough old men talk nonsense; he had nothing to fear.
But suddenly a fat man came over and wrestled with him. Without thinking, he grabbed the fat man's collar and threw him over his shoulder.
With a "thud," the fat man crashed heavily to the ground, wincing in pain.
After a moment of stunned silence, everyone burst into excited laughter and cheered for the fat man, saying he hadn't performed well and should get up and fight again.
The fat man sat up, grinning, and said to the jeering crowd with a dark face, "If you're so capable, go wrestle with him yourself. If you're not, don't make a fuss."
Then, with a pained expression, he complained to Wei Mingshen, "Brother, I was just joking with you. Did you really deserve to be so ruthless?"
Wei Mingshen reached out and helped him up, saying, "I didn't hit you hard. If I had, you would have been seriously injured."
Everyone sighed in amazement; this kid was a special forces soldier in the army, and that's no exaggeration.
The women looked at him with lustful eyes and whispered among themselves...
Wei Mingshen felt bored and grabbed one of his childhood friends, saying, "Come on, let's find a few people to come to your house to play cards, let's play 'Gouji'."
Su Xueli and her second aunt each rode a bicycle to town. Su Xueli pointed to a storefront in front and said, "Second aunt, that's the hair salon my future sister-in-law runs. It's called 'Youth Hair Salon'."
When my aunt saw it, she politely said, "Hmm, not a bad name. Not all people who go to the barbershop are young people; older people are reluctant to spend the money."
Su Xueli said sweetly to her second aunt, "Second aunt, you are different from those middle-aged women. You are an educated person, a teacher, and you get a salary. You have the right to enjoy these things."
