Cheng Jingmo asked Yu Xiangnian to shine a flashlight and apply cooling oil on her red envelope.
This is a yellow paste that smells a bit pungent. It feels cool after applying it and is not as itchy as before.
After wiping, Cheng Jingmo let Yu Xiangnian go to bed, and he took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts.
Yu Xiangnian was surprised and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"Let the fleas bite me."
Yu Xiangnian laughed silently, "It's no use, the fleas will still choose to bite me."
Cheng Jingmo: “?”
"It likes tender skin and meat."
Cheng Jingmo said, "Try it first. I'll go buy some medicine and sprinkle it on tomorrow."
After all this tossing and turning, the two were no longer sleepy and lay on the bed with their eyes closed.
Realizing that Cheng Jingmo was not asleep, Yu Xiangnian tentatively touched his abdominal muscles.
People who exercise regularly have abdominal muscles that feel really good to the touch.
Cheng Jingmo also let her touch him, and touched her smooth little hands from time to time.
I don’t know when I fell asleep, but Yu Xiangnian was awakened by the sound of “bang bang bang” knocking on the door.
When she opened her eyes, she saw only her and Xiaojie on the bed.
Yu Xiangnian got up and opened the door.
Cheng Shuansuo's wife, Zhang Hongli, stood at the door and said with a half-smile, "Sister-in-law, we're having a feast for you today, and the neighbors have been busy for quite some time. It's time for you to get up."
Yu Xiangnian's face turned red immediately after hearing this, and she glanced at the courtyard.
Sure enough, there were several middle-aged women, some were cutting vegetables, some were washing vegetables, and everyone's eyes were looking at her.
Yu Xiangnian quickly said, "Sorry, I overslept."
"Come and help quickly." said Zhang Hongli.
"Oh." Yu Xiangnian asked, "Where is the toilet?"
Zhang Hongli pointed outside the wall and said, "Outside."
Yu Xiangnian took two pieces of toilet paper, crossed the courtyard, smiled friendly yet awkwardly at the women who came to help, and walked outside.
The women who came to help looked at her and whispered to each other.
"Tsk tsk tsk! You're so lucky to have picked up a baby. Finding a wife is like finding a fairy!"
"He's really handsome, but with his delicate skin and fair flesh, it's obvious he won't have children!"
"Yes, it's been more than a year since we got married. Look, her belly is still flat."
“······”
Everyone's discussion was interrupted by a scream, and just when everyone was wondering what was going on.
Yu Xiangnian ran out of the toilet, looking terrified.
Just then, Cheng Jingmo came back carrying a load of water. Yu Xiangnian ran up and grabbed his clothes as if he had seen a savior.
"Cheng Jingmo, I stepped on a maggot! Ah...!!!"
She danced as she spoke, as if the ground was burning her feet.
When the women in the yard heard this, they all burst into laughter.
Cheng Jingmo held the burden on his shoulder with one hand and put the other hand on her shoulder, patting her shoulder and comforting her.
"Wait for me to clean up, then you can go in."
Yu Xiangnian still had goosebumps all over his body at this time.
When she entered the bathroom just now, the foul smell made her cover her mouth and nose and not pay attention to her feet. It was only when she heard the "tapping" sound that she lowered her head.
When she looked, she saw a lot of maggots wriggling on the ground, including some at her feet.
The "tapping" sound was the sound of maggots being crushed and bursting under her feet.
She screamed reflexively and ran out.
At this time, she realized that she had lost her composure just now.
She pouted in grievance and embarrassment, "My shoes are dirty, you have to help me wash them."
"Okay." Cheng Jingmo said, "I'll pour the water into the tank first."
Cheng Jingmo walked into the courtyard carrying water. When he passed by the women, he stopped and nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, sisters-in-law."
Women: “How can that be…”
Yu Xiangnian followed Cheng Jingmo into the courtyard. Cheng Jingmo went to pour water. Yu Xiangnian smiled at the women and introduced herself generously, "Hello, sisters-in-law. I am Cheng Jingmo's wife, Yu Xiangnian."
The women also smiled and said, "Hello, hello."
Yu Xiangnian said, "I just made everyone laugh."
The women laughed in denial, "No, no."
Cheng Jingmo put away the shoulder pole and bucket and took Yu Xiangnian back to the room.
Cheng Jingmo asked, "Why did you get up?"
At this time of day, Yu Xiangnian would still be sleeping soundly.
Yu Xiangnian said: "I woke up when I heard a noise outside."
"The supply and marketing cooperative is just opening now. I'm going to buy a basin of those things first. Take off your shoes and I'll wash them tonight."
Yu Xiangnian looked at Cheng Jingmo, who was sweating profusely. He sweated more than usual during exercise.
"How much water did you carry?" she asked.
"Five times." Cheng Jingmo said, "I'm going to clean the toilet. Come out in five minutes."
After Cheng Jingmo left, Yu Xiangnian took off his shoes in disgust and threw them into the corner.
Xiaojie also woke up. Yu Xiangnian looked at his watch. It was eight o'clock.
Cheng Jingmo has already carried water five times, so he must have gotten up around six o'clock.
So, he only slept for two or three hours last night.
After Yu Xiangnian finished washing up, he grabbed a handful of sugar and went out to distribute to the women. He then took a low stool and sat down to pick vegetables with them.
The weather was quite cold, and Yu Xiangnian wore his newly bought dark gray cotton jacket.
Xiao Jie hadn't gotten familiar with the other kids at home yet, so he also accompanied Yu Xiangnian to pick vegetables.
Cheng Jingmo was busy all morning, and the other people in the family were also busy.
It was too dark last night, so Yu Xiangnian didn't take a close look at Cheng Jingmo's house. Now he sat down and looked around carefully.
In South City, she had seen many rural houses, but Cheng Jingmo's house...it was really hard to describe.
