Chapter 84: Husband, let's consummate our marriage
Su Zhi happily packed up the housewarming gifts she received and asked Shen Zian to help. The two of them took one on each side and began to classify the things.
It took about half an hour to finish the arrangement. There were 40 to 50 kilograms of meat, 300 to 400 eggs, two jars of wine, 19 pieces of cloth, 20 bowls and two basins, and some red dates and snacks. Some families also sent chickens, which were all locked up in the chicken shed in the backyard.
Su Zhi looked at these things and happily asked Shen Zian to take the food and bowls to the kitchen, thinking that the meat could be made into bacon, half of the eggs could be eaten and the other half could be pickled, the two jars of wine could be saved for Shen Zian to drink later, and the snacks could be eaten by the two of them or given to the children who came to play. As for the cloth, she thought about making clothes or quilts.
After cleaning up all these, Su Zhi went to clean the kitchen. She liked the kitchen to be clean and tidy, and she also liked to know where everything was placed.
By the time everything was back in place, the sun had already set. The days are getting shorter and shorter at this season, and it is usually dark by five in the afternoon.
Su Zhi was preparing to cook, and there were leftovers from lunch, but she asked whoever wanted them to take them away. Although she didn't eat enough for a few days when she was reborn in this life, let alone meat, because of her past life, she was still unhappy about eating other people's leftovers, especially the leftovers of people whose background she didn't know, so she gave them to others. As for whether others would eat them or have other uses for them, she didn't ask. She gave the leftovers to others and didn't keep the steamed buns. She shared them equally with the people who stayed to help as a thank you.
Su Zhi thought for a while and made noodles. She kneaded the dough very well and made it very chewy. The noodles she rolled out were long, not flat. They were slightly round, and just looking at them made people feel that they would be very chewy when bitten in the mouth!
After the noodles were cooked, Su Zhi made a brine, which was made of eggs, scallions, pork slices, blanched cabbage and bean sprouts, and stir-fried a plate of shredded potatoes. The shredded potatoes were cut into thin pieces and topped with red chili peppers. The sight of it made people hungry and the aroma was fragrant.
"Zi'an. It's time to eat."
Su Zhi brought the meal to the inner room and placed it on the kang table. The kang was still hot because the fire had just been lit. It would be warm for the two of them to sit on the kang and eat.
Shen Zian is very diligent. Su Zhi said it would be nice if there was a mat on the floor of the house. It would not only look nice as if there was a blanket on the floor as soon as you entered the house, but you could also step on it to change shoes. He was weaving the mat. He had already woven more than half of it. Seeing Su Zhi coming in with the meal, he put down the work in his hands, changed into cotton socks, got on the kang, and sat opposite Su Zhi. It was just getting dark, and Shen Zian took the oil lamp from the side and lit it. He placed it next to the table.
Su Zhi looked at Shen Zian across from her, and suddenly felt that this was a bit like a candlelight dinner, although they were not eating Western food but the most traditional noodles. Although they were not sitting in an elegant restaurant but in an old house with a kang, and although the man across from her was an ancient man who had nothing to do with her, and although this ancient man was her husband, he had never given her flowers or diamond rings, let alone proposed to her. But even so. Su Zhi felt a strong sense of happiness.
Shen Zian was also looking at Su Zhi across from him, the light shining on Su Zhi's face. He felt that his wife's face seemed better than before, and those marks had faded a lot, almost invisible, which revealed her original appearance.
Shen Zian was surprised to find that his wife was actually very pretty, with two thin eyebrows, clear eyes, a straight nose, red lips, a small oval face, and a slightly pointed chin, which made up a beautiful face. Originally, there was something on her face that could not be seen, but now that her face was clean, all this beauties were revealed again. He thought that if his wife's face became white, tender and smooth, she would definitely be more beautiful than the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
"Zi'an, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
Su Zhi originally felt very warm and happy, but now being stared at by Shen Zian, she suddenly felt a little shy. This man was her husband, but they were not married! In such an environment, he stared at her, making Su Zhi suddenly feel her heart pounding faster and her face getting hot.
"Wife, you are so beautiful."
Shen Zian saw Su Zhi looking at him shyly and her face turned red. He blurted out what was in his heart and felt embarrassed after he finished speaking. Although he had said nice things to Su Zhi before, none of them was as good as the atmosphere now. This atmosphere made him feel as if his whole body was hot. He quickly lowered his head to eat the noodles, eating in big mouthfuls, and most of the bowl was gone in a moment.
Su Zhi saw that Shen Zian was even more shy than herself, and a smile appeared on her face. Although this man was a farmer, he was smart, cold and resolute, and very capable. He was strong and a master at farming. He could also hunt and weave baskets. By the way, he could recognize a few words. For him, he was a phoenix in a grass nest. But this man loved her, was always with her, and was shy. Even though he was not the rich young man, emperor, or general that other heroines met, she still felt that this man was the most perfect husband God had given her!
"Husband, eat the food. It won't taste good if it's cold."
"good."
Shen Zi'an obediently picked up a piece of food with chopsticks. When he was about to put the food into his mouth, he remembered that Su Zhi had just called him "husband". She usually called him Zi'an. Although calling him by his name was very affectionate, his heart suddenly soared when she suddenly called him "husband". The food seemed to taste even better.
Su Zhi also started eating noodles. While eating the delicious noodles, she sat in the warm new house. Opposite her sat a good man whom she liked and who also liked her. Su Zhi felt that this day was really comfortable, and it seemed that the future would be more promising.
"Husband, let's go to the bridal chamber!"
Su Zhi ate noodles while looking at Shen Zian across from her. The man seemed even more handsome in the light, with a thin and stylish face, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His mouth, which usually looked like a line when pursed and a crescent when smiling, was now stained with brine from eating noodles, glossy and red. In addition, he looked a little shy just now, which made him look sexy. Su Zhi felt her heart pounding, and in such an ambiguous atmosphere, she blurted out the words.
Shen Zian was picking up a piece of shredded potatoes with chopsticks. When he heard this, his hand shook and half of the shredded potatoes fell.
Su Zhi was not shy after asking. Although she said such explicit words on impulse, she thought about it and felt that this was something that should be resolved. Since she had already recognized Shen Zian as her husband, they were husband and wife. Of course, husband and wife must be in name only. It would not be a good thing to continue in name only. Of course, she also quietly admitted in her heart that Shen Zian was really "a feast for the eyes" just now, and she was also moved...
Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi. Seeing Su Zhi's clear eyes looking at him, his already hot face became even hotter. Fortunately, his skin was wheat color, so it was not noticeable.
"Wife, I want to give you a good wedding night."
Shen Zian said that he remembered the time when he and his wife got married. After the ceremony, his wife was sent back to the bridal chamber. Then he heard screams coming from his room. When people rushed over, they saw his wife who was still sick at the time. He no longer wanted to recall the wedding night. It was really a mess. All the slightly better things in their bridal chamber were taken away. They said that they couldn't let a person with such a terrible disease touch them, otherwise no one else could use them. This included newly made quilts, mattresses, tents, and even teapots and teacups. It seemed that in an instant, the bridal chamber that was originally all red turned into a dark "bridal chamber".
Then the Shen family went to the Zhao family and wanted to cancel the engagement, but the Zhao family disagreed. The Zhao family believed that the Shen family had Shen Ziju's future as a handle, so the Shen family did not dare to divorce his wife. Finally, he said he would not divorce his wife, and the matter was over.
Thinking back to those days, his heart is in turmoil. Shen Zian looks at his wife with shining eyes and flushed face, and feels that it was all a nightmare. When he wakes up from the nightmare, he realizes that this gentle and capable wife in front of him is the one he will support for the rest of his life.
When Su Zhi heard Shen Zian say this, she was very moved. Shen Zian had said before that he would give her a perfect wedding night with candles, and he still remembered it.
Su Zhi didn't know what Zhao Xiaomei and Shen Zi'an's wedding chamber looked like, but she could imagine that it was definitely not a beautiful memory. She didn't really want to know, because although she was now in Zhao Xiaomei's body, her soul was Su Zhi. She had a strange idea that the person who married Shen Zi'an was not her, but Zhao Xiaomei. She felt a little regretful for missing the scene of marrying Shen Zi'an, and now Shen Zi'an proposed to give her a perfect wedding night, she was also very happy.
"Zi'an, do you like me in the past or in the present?"
Su Zhi asked. She felt that she was suddenly a little pretentious. Although she was Zhao Xiaomei and this man was her husband, she didn't want this man to like her because he liked Zhao Xiaomei.
Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi and said, "It's you now. You may have forgotten that I once told you that I would agree to divorce you as long as you recovered from your illness, but I didn't want to think about it later because I really fell in love with you at that time. Before that, it was just the words of the matchmaker and a responsibility."
After hearing this, Su Zhi felt very happy, thinking that Shen Zian had always given his heart to her.
After such an intimate conversation, the couple's relationship took a step further. However, when they lay together, they both had an extra thought in their minds. One was thinking about what kind of wedding night her husband would give her, and the other was thinking about what kind of wedding night she would give her wife. As a result, both of them had endless spring dreams that night...
