24: Wife, let me hold you to sleep
Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui looked at the empty pot, and then saw that Shen Zian and his wife only ate one bowl each. They both felt embarrassed. Shen Zifu lowered his head and Shen Zigui blushed. They had just said that they were not hungry, but now they ate so much and still felt that they were not full. It was really embarrassing.
Su Zhi was very happy to see that the porridge she made was so popular. Although this was the credit of the vegetables grown with spring water, her cooking skills were also involved. Who doesn't like others to like their cooking? Moreover, this proved that everyone really loved the vegetables grown with spring water. She would be able to make money in the future. She didn't care if others ate more.
"Big brother, second brother, the pot at home is not very big, so I only cooked this much. I will cook another pot for you. Please wait, it will be ready in a while. Zi'an, stay and talk with the two brothers for a while."
Su Zhi stood up and went to cook more porridge. She felt a little embarrassed. The pot at home was bought by Shen Zian himself to heat water for her bath. It was not very big. She also did not know how much several grown men eat, which was why they were still not full after finishing the porridge. This was a dereliction of duty as a host.
Shen Zifu said quickly, "No, no, you don't have to go, Fourth Sister-in-law. We have already eaten our fill, and we will have more food when we return home. You don't have much food, so eat sparingly."
"Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. We only drank this porridge because we smelled it was really delicious. We originally wanted to eat only one bowl, but it was so delicious that we shamelessly ordered another bowl. I'm really sorry. You don't have much food."
Su Zhijue thinks these two people are quite practical and she thinks they can interact more often in the future. In ancient times, it was always good to have someone to help. It's okay to have people like Shen Zhang and Sun who are a hindrance, but it's reassuring to interact with these two people.
"Don't be polite, big brother. It's just a few bowls of porridge. My cooking is pretty good. Once we're settled, I'll treat you two brothers to a good meal. If my two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces don't mind, please come along and have some fun together."
Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui felt that Su Zhi was really good at speaking. Her voice was as gentle as pearls falling on a jade plate, giving people a feeling of a spring breeze on their faces. Looking at Su Zhi's still covered face, a feeling of regret flashed through their hearts. They thought that if this brother's wife's illness could be cured, then there would be hope for their fourth brother's future.
After finishing the porridge, it was already late, so the eldest and second sons of the Shen family said goodbye and went back.
After closing the gate, Shen Zian and Su Zhi held hands and looked at everything in the yard. Although there were only three shabby thatched houses and three trees, it looked really desolate, but this was their home. No one would be qualified to make them leave in the future, and they would not have to hide from others anymore. Both of them were very excited.
"Su Zhi, my wife, let's live a good life in the future. I will build a nice house for you to live in. If you don't like it here, we can live somewhere else."
"I like this place. There is a mountain in front of us. We can go up the mountain together. You can hunt while I pick fruits and vegetables. There is a bamboo forest next to it, which is a good place to enjoy the cool air. There is land behind us, which is very convenient for working. The place here is also large. When we have money, we can expand the yard and build a few more houses. I will decide what kind of house to build then, okay?"
Su Zhi has already made up her mind. She plans to build a courtyard house. When she has more money, she will enclose the vacant land in front and make it into a garden. She will also dig a pond to plant lotus and raise fish. When she has nothing to do, she can just take a walk beside it. Life will be so leisurely.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, daughter-in-law."
Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi's sparkling eyes, and felt that her energetic look was just as pleasing to him as her gentle look. He always felt as if something was stirring in his heart, and he felt warm and comfortable. He just wanted to stand beside his wife and watch her smile.
It was not dark yet, Shen Zian was thinking about cutting some straw, some of the straw was already dry, if he cut it and hung it overnight, it would be dry tomorrow, and he could put it directly on the roof tomorrow, saving some time. Su Zhi also wanted to go with Shen Zian.
"My illness has improved a bit now. Moving more is good for my body." Su Zhi said. Fearing that Shen Zian might not agree, she said, "I won't go to mow the grass. I'll just watch from the side. Okay?"
Seeing that Su Zhi really wanted to go, Shen Zian agreed.
Su Zhi untied the chicken's legs and put it in a basket, thinking that she would ask Shen Zian to build a nest for it tomorrow. Forget about it this year, she would raise some chicks next year, and eggs are very precious now.
The two locked the door and went out.
Shen Zian knew where the thatch was, so he took Su Zhi towards the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was not far from their house, but they were walking towards the mountain, so they walked for about five or six minutes and stopped at the edge of the bamboo forest, where there was a large patch of grass. Shen Zian let Su Zhi rest aside while he began to cut the thatch.
Su Zhi looked around and thought this was a really good place, with fresh air and peace and quiet. She had always lived in the city, but later moved to the suburbs to improve her health. However, there was no such scenery there. Only here was the peaceful home she had always dreamed of.
Shen Zian cut the grass quickly, and Su Zhi helped to tie the grass into bundles. Before dark, the two cut a lot of grass. Shen Zian tied the grass bundles with ropes and carried several bundles at once, which made Su Zhi blink. She thought he was quite strong, so she asked him to carry less. Shen Zian smiled and said that the grass was light, and then asked Su Zhi to follow him.
When they got home, Shen Zian didn't let Su Zhi go and asked her to wait at home. He went to carry the things a few more times and finally brought them all back. By then, the sky had turned dark.
They both ate only one bowl of porridge, and after working hard, they were both hungry again, so Su Zhi started to cook more porridge. She didn't cook much, thinking that she would give Shen Zian three bowls, and her one bowl would be enough. In the end, Shen Zian drank more than two bowls, and gave Su Zhi half a bowl, and they were both full.
After dinner, Shen Zian went to wash the dishes. It was completely dark. Because it was cold, Su Zhi didn't take a bath every day, so there was nothing else to do. Su Zhi didn't let Shen Zian light the oil lamp. They both went to bed early. The house was a little drafty, and it was still a little cold even with the quilt on. Su Zhi wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.
"Wife, are you cold? Let me hold you."
Shen Zian whispered in the darkness that his wife used to wake up in his arms in the morning, and he was used to it, knowing that she might be cold. Now that both of them have untied their knots, and his wife will always be his wife, then can he hold her in his arms to sleep, which will also be warm.
Su Zhi's face turned red in the dark and she was silent for a while. When Shen Zian thought she would not come over, she slowly moved over.
Shen Zian opened the quilt, rolled Su Zhi into his own quilt, tucked her feet between his own, hugged her, and then covered himself with both quilts, warming her up instantly.
Their faces were very close, and their breath was on each other's face. In the end, Su Zhi moved her face down, but her breath was on Shen Zian's neck again.
Shen Zi'an's face also turned red, and he held Su Zhi tightly in his arms without making her uncomfortable. Su Zhi listened to Shen Zi'an's heartbeat with a smile on her lips, and they both fell asleep sweetly.
