In fact, candied haws are very popular in the Gao family.

The three Gao brothers were so excited when they saw their mother bringing back the candied haws.

Sister Yang gave fifteen skewers, and Mrs. Gao gave one skewer to each of the three children, and shared one skewer for herself and Old Gao. She immediately put away the rest and locked the cupboard.

The whole family sat in the main hall of Gao's house and ate candied haws.

Needless to say, this sour and sweet candied haws tastes really good.

Adults like to eat it, and the three children like it even more. The three Gao brothers were so surprised when they ate the sour and sweet candied haws that they screamed loudly.

Gao Yuan was the greediest and ate the fastest. When he saw that he had almost finished a string of noodles, he still asked Mrs. Gao for more.

Mrs. Gao was reluctant to give it to the boy. She told him to eat slowly, saying that they could only have one string tonight. She then said to the three brats, "This candied haws is very sugary. Only Aunt Yang is willing to make it. I am reluctant to spend so much sugar on you three brats to make this."

Gao Tuan sat in the main room happily eating candied haws, listening to his wife teaching the children not to disturb them.

Gao Zhi immediately asked: "Mom, did you pick up the three of us brothers? Why are you so picky?"

"I dig it out? Spit out the meat-stuffed steamed bun I made for you tonight?" Mrs. Gao asked immediately.

"Mom, I've eaten the steamed bun and I can't spit it out!" Gao Yuan said seriously.

"I won't vomit!" said the Gao Zhi brothers.

"The main reason I tell you this is that if your Aunt Yang gives you some hawthorns to eat tomorrow, don't accept it. It takes a lot of sugar to make candied haws, and the hawthorns you three boys picked are not enough." said Mrs. Gao.

Gao Zhigao nodded to the two brothers, and Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Auntie Yang said she would make hawthorn sauce for us. It's so delicious!"

"You are not allowed to eat it even if it tastes good." After saying this, Mrs. Gao felt that this boy now liked to imitate Chen Yi's way of speaking. Forget it, she was too lazy to say anything more.

Gao Zhigao thought that hawthorn sauce and candied haws were so delicious, and the hawthorn sauce made by Aunt Yang must be even more delicious. However, the two were much older than Gao Zhigao, so Gao Zhigao nodded to Aunt Gao.

The family of five ate some candied haws and went back to their room to sleep.

Gao Tuan, who was about to go to sleep, felt that he had a really good day today. In the evening, he had a full meal of meat-filled steamed buns and a string of candied haws. What a wonderful day it was.

But his wife had just bought a few pounds of meat, and he must be feeling very painful. Next, his wife would definitely have to pick it up again.

The more Gao Tuan thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Tuan was living a really good life. However, Chen Tuan and his wife had no children, and his brother's wife could still sew. If she had children in the future, she might have a fight with his wife.

At the Chen family next door, Shuying had just stepped on the chestnut balls. There weren't many, and she stepped on them quickly. When she went to the main room to get the backpack, she saw her husband washing her underwear in the backyard.

Shuying's cheeks were slightly red.

Well, since they got married, most of her clothes were washed by this man. It was not that she was unwilling to wash clothes, but that this man was too hardworking. Sometimes she wanted to leave her clothes for washing the next morning, but by the next morning, this man would wash them clean and put them on the clothesline for her. Even if this man did not have time to wash clothes that night, he would get up early in the morning to wash them for her.

Shuying felt that she had been enjoying a very good life since she married this man, even better than when she was in her parents' home.

Chen Xi washed and rubbed the clothes, then took them to the front yard to dry. Shuying was too embarrassed to offer to help dry them.

Chen Xi told her not to get her hands dirty and dried the clothes on the clothesline.

The shadow of the tree looked at the man under the dim light with sparkling eyes.

How could she be so lucky to marry such a good man?

However, the man was tired from daily training, so Shuying said, "I can wash my own clothes, you don't need me to wash them for you!"

What would happen if her mother knew that this man washed her clothes every day?

"It's okay. The water is cold at night, so you should avoid touching it on weekdays. When I'm not at home, use hot water to wash clothes!" Chen Xi said that he would only wash her clothes for the time being, and he would go out on a mission after a while, so she had to wash them herself.

Well, the life with the army was so good that she forgot that this man had to go on missions frequently, and she hurriedly asked him when he would go on the mission.

"Starting next month!" Chen Xi replied.

The shadow of the tree was counting the days, but there weren't many left. Chen Xi dried his clothes and suddenly changed the subject to ask tentatively, "Did you have a good chat with Zhou Tuan tonight?"

Knowing that this man would have to start taking on tasks next month, she was not in a good mood as before. She nodded absentmindedly and replied, "Team Zhou is a nice guy!"

The man's eyes were gloomy and he just said "hmm"!

"Did you have a good relationship with him in the past?" Shuying asked, while asking Ye Shuning about Zhou Shengtian's past.

She didn't notice that the man's eyes were getting darker and darker, and his voice was lower than usual: "Are you so curious about him?"

Shuying nodded and shook her head subconsciously, preparing to tell the man that she was asking for Ye Shuning, but her chin was pinched by the man. The man's tall and straight height made Shuying feel a little oppressive.

She can still tell whether this man is happy or not.

Look, under the light, the man has a gloomy look on his face and looks like a storm is about to come, and it's obvious that he's in a very bad mood.

Shuying hurriedly recalled what she had said. She didn't say anything. How could this man change so quickly?

She was distracted by her thoughts, and the man was unhappy with her distraction, so he bent his head and suddenly kissed her.

The child was still in the room. Shuying was afraid that Chen Yi would suddenly come out at any time, so she pushed people away. The man pressed down with his cold thin lips, pried open her teeth, and kissed the back of her head.

This kiss was more intense than usual, like a violent storm mixed with the man's unhappiness. Shuying passively endured the kiss, and soon her body went limp and she leaned into the man's arms, being hugged by the man.

She did not forget that the child was still awake and might come out at any time. She kept looking into the main room distractedly, which made the man more and more dissatisfied. He said in a strong and deep voice: "Don't be distracted!"

The two kissed for a long time. Shuying always felt that the man looked at her as if he wanted to swallow her up. Fortunately, the child stayed in the room and did not come out.

The man let go only when she was almost out of breath.

Shuying's legs were as soft as noodles and he held on to the man tightly. Chen Xi followed suit and held him tightly. Suddenly, the man said in a serious tone, "Zhou Tuan is a good person, but no matter how good he is, he is not as good as me!"

Tree Shadow: “…”

The man's words shocked Shuying and he suddenly realized something. Shuying raised his eyes and met the man's heavy gaze.

The first thought that came to my mind was, is this man actually jealous? Or is he jealous of Zhou Tuan?

Shuying was a little bit unbelievable and said hurriedly: "I asked you Zhou Tuan because I wanted to ask on behalf of Sister Ye. Don't you think the two of them are a good match?"

The man's face froze.

Shuying still couldn't believe that this man would be jealous of Zhou Tuan. Just now, she remembered that this man had calmly asked her if she and Zhou Tuan had a good chat. She thought that this man was just asking casually, but it turned out that he was jealous.

This was the first time the man felt jealous. Shuying wanted to laugh in her heart, so she quickly raised her head and looked carefully at the man's expression.

It was a pity that this man had always been unhappy with his behavior, with a stern face and no expression at all. If it weren't for his last sour words, she really wouldn't have realized that this man was jealous.

Shuying explained, "Just now at Zhou's house, Zhou Tuan and I didn't talk much. Zhou Tuan just asked me to say something good about him in front of Sister Ye."

Chen Xi: “…”

Shuying continued, "I've already married you, what can Zhou Tuan think of me?"

Chen Xi particularly liked the first half of the sentence, and his stern brows finally showed a hint of smile. Although he showed a smile on his face, he thought in his heart that it was not necessarily the case. His wife was so outstanding. Zhou Shengtian had told him many times before that he wanted to find a wife who was as beautiful, could cook, and was well-educated as his wife.

"Auntie, it's time to go to bed! We're going to catch rabbits tomorrow!" Chen Yi came out of the room and called to the two adults.

Shuying hurriedly pushed the man away, but her legs were still weak. She pushed the man, but failed to move him like a mountain. She staggered and almost fell to the ground. The man was quick to hold her in his arms: "Your legs are weak and you can't walk?"

Before Shuying shook her head, her right eyelid twitched. The man picked her up and walked towards the master bedroom without changing his expression.

Tree Shadow: “…”

Chen Yi chased after the couple, chattering and asking, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

"Auntie, why do you want your uncle to hold you?"

"Auntie, is your leg injured?"

It was only when she sat on the bed that Shuying came to her senses. This man actually carried her into the master bedroom in front of the child?

Shuying was afraid of teaching the child badly, so he hurriedly said, "Auntie's legs just hurt a little, so your uncle hugged me!"

Chen Xi leaned against the wooden cabinet and smiled.

Chen Yi nodded without any doubt, and asked Shuying with great concern whether his leg hurt. If it hurt, he would comfort him.

oops!

This cute and warm-hearted girl was so upset that she quickly said she was fine.

The two went to bed first. Chen Xi carried the wooden barrel outside to the backyard, then went back to the house, took off his coat and went to bed.

Chen Yi wanted to sleep in the middle, and Shuying let the child sleep. Chen Xi was a little dissatisfied. Seeing that the boy was being attentive to his wife and making her smile, he liked the boy very much. The boy even slept on his wife's chest. Chen Xi's forehead was bulging with veins.

But this little guy is still adding sugar: "Auntie, if your legs hurt, you can kiss me a few times, and the pain will go away after you kiss me!"

Shuying kissed the child a few times, and Chen Yi giggled and kissed him back. Chen Xi couldn't stand this kid taking advantage of his wife so openly, so he quickly hugged the kid and told him coldly to stop talking and go to sleep.

Chen Yi angrily said: "Auntie doesn't mind me talking too much, Auntie really likes me!"

As he spoke, he tried to crawl between the two of them. Shuying wanted the child to sleep in the middle, but Chen Xi ignored him and ordered in a deep voice, "Sleep!"

After the child fell asleep, Chen Xi saw that his wife was also asleep, so he could only tuck in the quilt for both of them and hold them to sleep.
