Chapter 22 The Hurdle in My Heart
Chen Yi lay there until seven o'clock, and He Mingcheng got up outside.
She got up and looked at the people busy heating the kang, then said, "I'll make breakfast from now on, you can sleep a little longer."
People who don't make any money and don't have much to eat should work harder?
Chen Yi is not a pretentious person, so she can do cooking, washing clothes and so on.
Especially when He Mingcheng was doing such a bad thing, they felt much more pity for this big boy.
He Mingcheng shook his head and said, "I don't like to sleep too much. I like to get up early. It's okay. I'll make breakfast and you'll make it at night. We'll take turns making it at noon. How about that?"
What a joke! How could he bear to let his wife get up early to cook for him?
In name she is already my daughter-in-law, and in reality it will be the same soon.
Chen Yi thought about it and nodded in agreement.
I forgot to give him the red envelope I received last night, so I hurried to get it out.
"This is the red envelope your relative gave you yesterday. Take it."
He Mingcheng looked at the red envelope handed to him and replied, "You keep it. It's not much money. If the family needs something in the future and I'm not at home, you should be able to buy it."
How could he accept the red envelope given by the elders to his daughter-in-law? Of course he would accept it for his daughter-in-law.
Chen Yi didn't want to accept it, but seeing his firm attitude, she accepted it first. She had the money anyway and wouldn't spend it.
But I saw the red envelope that Fang Xiaoli gave me yesterday. There was ten yuan in it, which is not a small amount of money.
A pound of meat costs 70 cents, so ten yuan is not a small amount.
This is also a favor, which will have to be repaid in the future.
After they finished their breakfast, they sat on the kang and stared at each other.
He Mingcheng got up and turned on the radio, saying, "If you're bored when I'm not at home, you can listen to the radio to relieve your boredom."
Chen Yi didn't say anything when she heard this. There was electricity, a TV, and several discs of downloaded movies in the space. Who would listen to the radio?
There were few entertainment programs at that time, and when I turned on the radio I only listened to some news.
Chen Yi didn't understand the current situation, so she didn't understand at all.
For the next few days, the two of them stayed at home without going out.
The weather wasn't very good either, and it started snowing heavily.
Chen Yi looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky and couldn't help but want to recite a poem.
No, just write poetry.
He Mingcheng watched her busy figure at home every day, and his heart was always in a mess.
I want to take our relationship to the next level, but I'm afraid Chen Yi will be disgusted. Now we can only talk every day and have a meal together, which is pretty good.
The tough guy sighed: Oh...
When can I hug my wife and sleep on the warm bed?
He looked at the kang in the west room and felt it was quite warm, so he wanted to move into the small room.
The next morning, Li Qinglin came up to ask He Mingcheng to go out for a while.
"Okay, you look radiant. You finally got a wife." Li Qinglin looked at him with a smile.
Radiant?
He Mingcheng: Are you polite?
I couldn’t even hug my wife, I could only watch her but not touch her.
He always felt that these words were a blow and ridicule, and his face turned unhappy.
"Alright, alright, let's go." He urged impatiently.
Li Qinglin was confused by his attitude. What was going on? He was not allowed to talk about his wife even after getting married.
Is this shy?
Chen Yi watched the two people walking further and further away and quickly closed the door.
I haven't taken a shower for several days, and I was afraid of being discovered by He Mingcheng, so I haven't entered the space.
You're not here today. If you find me when I come back, just say I wiped myself off.
After taking a hot bath, Chen Yi felt relaxed all over.
My waist has become stiff from sleeping on the kang these days, it’s really uncomfortable.
He Mingcheng came back before lunch and saw that the food was ready.
"Why don't you wait for me to go home and cook? We agreed that I would cook at noon." He put the things he brought back on the kang.
A very large package that looks heavy.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's just cooking, why are you taking it so seriously?"
It’s not a big deal, just cooking a meal.
Thinking about how she had worked like a slave and a nanny in her previous life, no one took her seriously.
There was some bitterness in her eyes, but it was all in the past and now there was hope for the future.
He Mingcheng picked up the bowl and chopsticks, noticed her expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"
It doesn't look right?
Chen Yi shook her head. "It's okay. I just thought of some unhappy things."
The past is over, so don’t think about it anymore.
He Mingcheng didn't ask any more questions, but he was cautious.
After dinner, he asked Chen Yi to stay, and the two of them opened the package together.
Of course, it was He Mingcheng who was demolishing it and Chen Yi was watching.
"This was mailed to me by my dad. He knew I was married."
His tone was flat, but somewhat cold.
Such a distant tone doesn't sound right.
Chen Yi didn't ask any more questions, but sat quietly by the side, waiting to see the package.
There were indeed quite a lot of things inside, two cans of malted milk and a piece of Dacron white fabric with blue plaid.
The rest is a mess of food, all kinds of stuff.
Chen Yi was a little surprised. She didn't expect there were so many good things.
Through Fang Xiaoli's popular science education these days, she learned a lot.
For example, food and daily necessities are very expensive, but the rest are easy to buy.
Of course, those industrial supplies cannot be bought unless you have coupons.
"Keep these for your use. I'll put the food in this cabinet." He Mingcheng put everything away and let her know where it was.
Chen Yi looked at the cloth in her hand and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know how to make clothes."
How can she make clothes?
Growing up in a new era, these things can be bought everywhere, so why do we still need to make them?
He Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I'll ask my aunt to make it for you. When she has time in the next two days, ask her to come over and measure your size. She knows how to make clothes."
I didn't think about these things. I thought I was careful enough, but I didn't expect that I was still so careless.
I have bought a sewing machine for my family, but it looks like it will just sit there and collect dust.
He wanted to learn how to make clothes, but he was often busy traveling for work, so he might take half a year to make a piece of clothing.
Chen Yi felt a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to do it, so she could only listen to others.
After looking at the fabric, he realized that it was not suitable for He Mingcheng at all, but he had a lot of fabric in his space and could take it out.
Anyway, she had a lot of luggage, who knew what she brought? Even if she took out something good, no one would say anything.
The two of them got along quite harmoniously, except that Chen Yi couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Even though she experienced the end of the world, it doesn’t mean she is a perfect person.
They are all ordinary people, without even any special powers in the apocalypse. How can we expect her to have a strong heart?
At most, they are more open-minded and have unique vision.
The rest are just like ordinary people.
He Mingcheng didn't owe her anything, but he wanted her to marry him without any feelings for him.
Chen Yi had been thinking about it for several days and felt that she should be nicer to others.
It would be fine if everyone could just be good friends, and she just shouldn't be as polite and distant to others as before.
