Chapter 97 What can I do?
On the first day of marrying into the big compound, the quarrels ended.
He Tingyue boiled hot water and brought it to the bathroom.
"I'll get you a bucket of cold water to wash with."
There was a large vat in the small courtyard of their south room. Every morning, He Tingyue would fetch water from the courtyard, so that they didn't have to go out to get water for bathing and washing their faces.
Jiang Yu wanted to say that he could come, but seeing that he had already gone out to fetch water, he let him go.
The south room was the only one with a bathroom. If other families wanted to take a bath, they could only wipe it in the house. The big men were not particular about details and just washed it in the yard.
But it was not convenient for women. On hot days, they either had to spend money to go to the bathhouse or wipe it at home.
Just for this reason, I don't know how many people envied the south room.
After taking a bath, Jiang Yu took a towel to wipe his hair.
The weather is cool now, and I feel a little cold after taking a shower.
When winter comes, it will probably be freezing cold.
"I'm done. Do you have any hot water? Go and take a shower."
He Tingyue took her handkerchief naturally and wiped her twice.
"Yes, I've filled the kettle. You can use the hot water in it to wash your face tomorrow."
Jiang Yu enjoyed his service and squinted her eyes in comfort.
"It's not too cold now, so it's okay to wash with cold water."
He Tingyue wiped her hair until it was half dry before putting down the handkerchief. "We have the conditions at home. Not to mention now, it's okay to wash your face with hot water even on a hot day."
The family is now burning coal briquettes. He Tingyue has connections, so they can stock up a lot every year.
Under the corner of the wall outside the south courtyard, a circle was built with bricks, which was specially used to place coal balls. There was a wooden board underneath, and it was covered with oil felt to prevent moisture and water.
People in the countryside still burn wood, and Jiang Yu had never burned coal balls.
Today, after watching He Tingyue burn coal, she realized that in order to burn these coal balls, firewood must be used to start the fire.
"Go and wash quickly."
"Okay."
When He Tingyue took the clothes out, Jiang Yu suddenly woke up from a dream, thinking that today was their wedding night.
Wang Yunshan had said a few words to her before, saying that this thing was quite comfortable.
Jiang Yu suddenly became nervous. This was her first time to sleep with a man.
After a while, He Tingyue finished washing and went back to the house.
"So fast?"
"It's a habit developed in the army. You have to shower quickly."
What's more, tonight is the wedding night. He has been waiting for so long, so he has to move quickly. As
soon as he got close, Jiang Yu's face was burned red.
"Did I turn off the lights?" he whispered. Jiang Yu
nodded, lifted the quilt and got on the bed.
After the lights went out, the room was dark, and Jiang Yu became more nervous.
He Tingyue got on the bed and held her in his arms. Only then did he feel that she had really become his wife.
"We are married."
Jiang Yu raised her face and looked at him, "Married."
He Tingyue suddenly turned over and pressed on her.
His breath enveloped Jiang Yu, and she seemed to hear her heartbeat like a drum.
"Do you know what we are going to do on our wedding night?"
Jiang Yu was very shy and whispered, "My aunt told me."
The next moment, she felt the man above her leaning down, and his warm lips fell on her forehead.
Jiang Yu was stunned and her heart skipped a beat.
But her aunt didn't say that.
His kiss was very light, from her forehead to the tip of her nose, and then to her lips.
"Hmm..."
She didn't know how long He Tingyue had been holding back before he finally kissed the long-awaited red lips.
He was like tasting a delicacy, very patient, and only moved on to the main course after carefully savoring the appetizer.
Jiang Yu was dazed and heard him tearing something open.
She opened her eyes and asked, "What is that?"
He Tingyue said, "A condom."
Jiang Yu had never seen such a thing before, but as the name suggests, she could understand the function of this thing.
"What's the point of using condoms? Don't we want to have children?"
He Tingyue kissed her lips again.
"Give birth in two years."
He asked the obstetrician and gynecologist. It's not good for female comrades to have children too early. If they are not in a hurry, it won't be a problem to wait until she is 23 or 24 years old.
He Tingyue asked for some condoms. The longer the delay, the better.
Jiang Yu had lost the ability to think. When the sharp pain came, she couldn't help but curse Wang Yunshan in her heart.
What do you mean it only hurts a little? It obviously hurts a lot!
Fortunately, the pain passed for a while, and the two of them gradually got into the mood. She finally felt comfortable and happy.
But doing this was too tiring. Just like working in the fields during the busy farming season, her legs were sore.
"Are you done?" Jiang Yu moaned softly.
The man held her and whispered, "It's almost there, just bear with it."
Jiang Yu no longer believed him. He didn't know how many times he had said this.
She fell asleep in a daze, woke up, and fell asleep again.
This time she slept very deeply and didn't wake up until noon.
Jiang Yu felt that her description was still conservative. This was more tiring than doing farm work. Every bone in her body was aching.
They got married yesterday, which was a Sunday, and the school was closed.
Today, He Feiyan and the two children went to school, and He Tingyue had to go to work. Jiang Yu was the only one at home. They
had finished eating yesterday's fried noodles and washed the dishes.
But He Tingyue left her a note, warming porridge on the stove and steaming some steamed buns. He also said that they would eat at home at noon and then take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate.
Jiang Yu went into the kitchen and saw a big, plump steamed bun.
The bun was so solid that she couldn't eat a single one with the porridge. She only broke off half of it and sat in the main room to chew it slowly. She
had eaten less than half of it when she heard Xu Lihua's voice.
"Same person, different fate! Jiang Ting, aren't you twins? Look, you are washing clothes for the whole family here early in the morning, and your sister hasn't gotten up yet. Tsk tsk, it's so late and she hasn't gotten up yet. This little He might have married a lazy wife."
Jiang Ting forced a smile and almost tore the clothes under her hands.
Jiang Yu pretended not to hear it. After eating, she put away the dishes and went to find Yao Xiangling with her newly made cotton-padded clothes. As
soon as she went out, she saw clothes drying in the yard and looked a little unnatural.
The He family advocates washing one's own clothes, including He Zhengdong and He Lilan, who never let others do it for them.
But when He Tingyue washed his own clothes, he also washed her clothes.
In addition to the wedding dress she wore yesterday, there was also a set of clothes she changed at night.
Not only her clothes, but also the sheets were washed by him.
Fortunately, they were hung out to dry in her own yard, otherwise she would have been laughed at for who knows how long.
"Jiang Yu, you just got up? You are too lazy. Which daughter-in-law sleeps until this time?" Xu Lihua actually played the role of a mother-in-law.
Jiang Ting enjoyed watching the show and added fuel to the fire: "My eldest sister was like this when she was in the countryside. She never worked. I was the one who did all the work."
Xu Lihua sighed, "That little He was really wrong! He married a lazy wife." Jiang
Yu smiled and said, "Facts have proved that as long as you are capable, there will be endless work waiting for you. My family is not the Fu family. There is not so much work waiting for me to do. He Tingyue has to help me wash my clothes. What can I do?"
