Chapter 66: Building a Shelf



After dinner, the family cleaned up the dishes and boiled water for washing.

Lin Yan touched his hair and said to Zhao Shiyun, "I want to wash my hair. It's a little dirty."

Zhao Shiyun found the medicinal wine at home and asked him to sit on the edge of the bed. "Wash it tomorrow. It's a bit late today and it's not easy to dry. I'll help you wash it when you come back tomorrow afternoon." After that, he poured some medicinal wine on the palm of his hand, rubbed it a little, gently pressed it on Lin Yan's forehead, and then rubbed it in circles.

"Does it hurt?"

Lin Yan subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but he was restrained and unable to move. He finally said, "It doesn't hurt, just a little red. Actually, you don't need to apply the medicinal wine."

"It will heal quickly after wiping it off." After wiping it off, Zhao Shiyun put away the medicinal wine. "It's still a little cold at night, so cover yourself with the quilt quickly."

Lin Yan obediently crawled into the bed, revealing his eyes and blinking.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shiyun felt that he had something to say.

"Brother Shi Yun, the shop is relatively stable now. Let's let Ah Mo stay home and not go to town. The three of us can handle it."

"That's fine, four is definitely more. And there'll be someone at home to look after Dad."

"Yeah, I was thinking that you shouldn't go for the next two days, but should finish the shelf at home, and then change Ah Mo back after it's done."

"Okay, I'll tell Ah Mo tomorrow. I'll take some time these two days to go to the mountains to dig some spring bamboo shoots. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to pickle them?"

Zhao Shiyun got on the bed and covered himself with the quilt. His husband came over immediately. Lin Yan smiled with her eyes closed, "My husband is so warm."

Zhao Shiyun smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a heater?"

"Hehe." Lin Yan didn't say anything and hugged her tighter.

Zhao Shiyun looked at her husband with his eyes closed and thought that she should take him to the clinic someday. He has been feeling listless lately and she hoped he was sick.

The next day, Lin Yan and the other two went to the town shop, while Zhao Shiyun stayed home to make the frame. It wasn't difficult, and a day's work was enough. He prepared the bamboo and began to work. Zhao Shiyun's craftsmanship was exquisite, and as he manipulated the bamboo strips, the frame gradually took shape. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the frame was nearly finished. Zhao Shiyun stood up, stretched his stiff body, and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Dad, I'll pick up some pickled beans and we'll have porridge." I cooked porridge in the morning, so we can just order some side dishes.

"Okay, add another piece of tofu." Zhao Qiming walked out of the tofu shop and handed the bowl of tofu to Zhao Shiyun.

It's delicious just by adding soy sauce and oil to the raw tofu. Zhao Shiyun also added a spoonful of chili sauce. After the two of them finished their lunch and rested for a while, Zhao Shiyun continued to work on the frame. At 3 p.m., Zhao Shiyun finished the frame and wiped it with a cloth. He looked at his work with satisfaction, thinking that Lin Yan would be very happy when he returned. Then he simply packed up his tools and went to the kitchen to boil water so that he could wash his hair when Lin Yan returned.

Lin Yan and his companions returned soon after. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw the finished shelf. Yu Ge'er rushed in, looked around, and praised it. Lin Yan's eyes were also filled with smiles. This shelf looked very solid.

Zhao Shiyun had already brought the tub into the house and filled it with water. Seeing Lin Yan coming back, he waved for him to come over.

Lin Yan put down his things and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't I say I would help you wash your hair yesterday? I've boiled some water, you can take a shower while I wash your hair." Zhao Shiyun said seriously.

Lin Yan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed in broad daylight. Zhao Shiyun pushed him into the room and said, "It's okay. We're married now, so there's no need to be embarrassed."

"Then you can't peek." Lin Yan warned.

"I have to peek at my own husband." Zhao Shiyun couldn't help laughing and turned around. She heard the rustling sound of Lin Yan taking off his clothes, and then the sound of him getting into the water, until he said, "Okay." Then she turned around and sat on the small stool next to the bathtub. She first wet Lin Yan's hair with a cloth, then picked up a bath bead, rubbed it into foam with her hands, and applied it to Lin Yan's hair.

Zhao Shiyun's nails were trimmed and not very long, and he washed his hair with a moderate force. Lin Yan sighed comfortably, leaned back, closed his eyes and dozed off.

After a while, they finished washing. Zhao Shiyun massaged Lin Yan's shoulders and rinsed him with water from a gourd ladle. Lin Yan didn't say a word during the whole process. Zhao Shiyun looked up and found that his husband had fallen asleep. He smiled helplessly, dried his hair, bent down to pick him up, and sat down next to the bed. He first wiped the water droplets off his body. He was afraid that his hair would wet the quilt. He grabbed a piece of his own clothes and put it on the bedside before putting Lin Yan down. He found underwear for him to wear, covered him with the quilt, and quietly went out.

Tonight's dinner was cooked by Yu Ge'er. After the meal was ready, Zhao Shiyun went into the room to call Lin Yan to eat, but he found that he was still sleeping soundly. In order to let him sleep a little longer, he left some food warm in the pot for him.

"Brother, what happened to Brother Fu?" Yu Ge'er was a little worried.

"Maybe he is tired. Let him sleep. I will bring it to him when he wakes up later." Zhao Shiyun comforted.

Li Yuemei and Zhao Qiming also looked worried. "Shi Yun, find some time to take Yan Ge'er to the clinic. I think he's been getting sleepy very easily lately."

"Okay, I was planning to take him there the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I will go to the mountain to dig some spring bamboo shoots and pick some Chinese toon." Zhao Shiyun nodded in response.

Lin Yan slept until midnight. He opened his eyes drowsily and yawned, tears still in his eyes. Zhao Shiyun was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the darkness after waking up, so he did not blow out the oil lamp. He did not dare to sleep too deeply either. When he heard the sound, he quickly opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yan, are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Lin Yan's tone was soft and sticky, "What time is it?"

Zhao Shiyun looked outside and said, "It's almost midnight."

"It's so late!" Lin Yan was startled and quickly stood up. Zhao Shiyun held him down and said, "Don't get up. It's cold outside. I'll go to the kitchen and bring you something to eat."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Yan to reply, he got up and walked towards the door.

"Put on some clothes." Lin Yan anxiously reminded him from behind.

"I'm not cold." Zhao Shiyun replied without turning his head, and quickly walked to the kitchen to get the warm dinner.

"Eat." The food was all in a bowl. Zhao Shiyun handed the chopsticks to Lin Yan. Lin Yan took the bowl and chopsticks, picked up an egg and started eating. His cheeks were puffed up while he ate. Zhao Shiyun looked at him amusedly and reached out to poke him. Lin Yan glared at him, then continued eating faster and finished in a short while.

"Put it in the house. Don't go out. It's cold." Lin Yan asked him to put the dishes in the house.

"Okay." Zhao Shiyun responded obediently. She put away the dishes and planned to hug her husband and continue to sleep.

After eating, Lin Yan began to feel sleepy again. She wanted to talk to her husband, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep again after a while.
