Chapter 66 Don’t Leave Me
For the first two days, Xu Ning thought Cheng Chuan was too tired and didn't want to talk.
After all, he has to go to the pig farm at night, go to school during the day, and then study in the afternoon.
Xu Ningjun felt that even a man of iron could not bear it, as the money in the piggy bank was indeed getting thicker and thicker.
But she also felt sorry for him, as it would be too harmful to his health if he continued like this.
Cheng Chuan always said that he was fine, and he worked like a clockwork day after day, with endless energy.
But now Xu Ningjun felt something was not right. What was wrong with this bastard?
After dinner in the evening, she picked up the wooden basin by the door and said, "I'll go wash the clothes, and you clean up the dishes?"
Cheng Chuan raised his head, hummed, and took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.
Xu Ningjun was stunned for a moment, and she asked tentatively, because it was not her responsibility to wash the dishes and clothes at home.
All the people washing clothes by the creek were women, and only Cheng Chuan went there often. He loved her too much, which caused a lot of gossip from people.
Her heart sank, and the image of Cheng Yuanshan gesturing and making decisions appeared in her mind. The pain of memory tearing apart made her pursed her lips and squatted down holding her clothes.
"Hey, Xu Zhiqing."
In the evening, many women gathered by the river, slapping their clothes and rubbing them in the water.
Everyone was surprised when they saw Xu Ningjun, but then they looked as if they understood everything.
A man wouldn't wash clothes every day. He should love his wife for a month or so, that's enough.
This woman also needs to know the current situation. It’s not okay to be too dramatic, as it will affect the relationship.
Xu Ningjun ignored them, squatted down, and soaked his hands in the river water.
A few weeks after their marriage, Cheng Yuanshan was also very kind to her, and he always protected her whenever Qian Meixiang talked about her.
That past was like an indelible shadow, and she often worried that one day she would find that all men in the world were the same.
She would feel ashamed of God for giving her another chance and would make the wrong choice again.
After a moment, Xu Ningjun shook his head to get rid of the strange feeling.
No, Cheng Chuan is different from him and will not become like that.
"Xu Zhiqing, you can't wash clothes like this. You're ruining them. You should soak them in water. The water isn't even cold in this weather. Why are you being so pretentious?"
Before Xu Ningjun could react, a pair of hands beside her took the wet clothes from her hands and rubbed them skillfully on the washboard.
She turned her head and saw Cheng Chuan squatting quietly beside her.
In the dark night, his profile was cold and stiff. He raised his eyes and glanced at those talkative women, who were returning home in groups of three or four, carrying washed clothes.
Xu Ningjun pursed her lips, her eyes feeling a little sore. She lowered her head and reached out to grab the clothes, "Let me do it, you go and rest."
Cheng Chuan kept working as he washed the clothes one by one.
He worked efficiently, quickly washed it, wrung it dry, threw it into the wooden barrel, and picked it up.
"Hey."
Cheng Chuan walked home first, but deliberately slowed down his pace, listened to the movements of the people behind him, and forced himself not to turn his head to pay attention to her.
Xu Ningjun stood up from the ground. He looked at the stinky wood fiercely. What happened?
When he looked up at her just now, she felt that he was a little at a loss.
After returning home, Xu Ningjun touched his fingers. He had just washed clothes and his hands had been soaked in water for a long time. In his hometown, they were called "soaked in water" in the water.
Her fingertips were pale and her skin was a little wrinkled. She went into the room and applied some pearl cream.
They bought this the last time they went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Outside, he went to hang out the clothes. Xu Ningjun took a deep breath and went to get some water to wash.
The first time she drew water and heated it herself, she realized how tiring it was.
The countryside is different from the city, you can just turn on the tap.
You have to scoop up well water, pour it into a big pot, light a fire to heat it up, and then scoop out the hot water.
Lai Wei's trouble made Xu Ningjun's eyes red. People just can't fall from the sky to the ground.
If she had done it herself before, she would have been used to it, but now she felt very aggrieved.
As she washed, she misjudged how much waste water she had.
Some people who are particular about cleanliness would not use the dirty water they have used to wash themselves, but would rather use ice-cold water to wash off the soap foam on their bodies.
In the past, he always boiled enough hot water for her.
After washing up, she walked out and saw Cheng Chuan half leaning against the table. When he saw her, he raised his head.
Without saying anything, he just followed her into the room.
