Chapter 210 It’s great to have a wife
Whenever she thought that Li Lei's hands might be touching that woman's body, or that Li Lei's lips might be kissing that woman's lips, she felt like there was a fire in her heart.
I wish I could rush over right now and tear that woman into pieces.
She gritted her teeth, making a creaking sound.
This night passed quickly.
The next morning, Li Lei woke up, but without opening his eyes, he reached to his side with his hands.
Huh? It's empty?
He opened his eyes and looked up. It was already past eight in the morning.
He looked at his watch and felt warm in his heart.
This was the first time he had slept until this late since he joined the army.
Not only does my heart feel warm, but my bed is also warm.
There was the sound of fire burning in the kitchen and the aroma of porridge in the air.
Li Lei quickly climbed out of bed, put on his clothes, and then folded the quilt and mattress neatly.
Even after retiring, he still had the skill to fold the quilt and mattress neatly, like a block of tofu.
He nodded with satisfaction and put two pillows on it.
When I came to the kitchen, I saw Meng Xiaoning sitting in front of the stove, staring at the fire stupidly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Why did you get up so early?" Li Lei leaned over and put his face against Meng Xiaoning's.
Meng Xiaoning thought about what happened last night and felt a little uncomfortable, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
"I woke up and got up. I cooked eggs and porridge. There's nothing else at home, so let's eat these this morning."
Li Lei responded, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "What did you put on your face? It smells so good."
Meng Xiaoning pushed him away with some embarrassment: "It's just ordinary vanishing cream, go wash your hands quickly, you can eat now."
Li Lei was pushed away and could no longer smell the fragrance.
He touched his nose with some regret and then planned to go out.
Seeing this, Meng Xiaoning quickly said, "There is hot water in the kettle. Add some hot water before washing. Don't wash your hands directly with cold water."
Li Lei turned around obediently and walked out with the thermos in his hand. "It's great to have a wife!"
Listening to Li Lei's words, Meng Xiaoning pursed her lips and smiled.
When Li Lei went out, he found a piece of fragrant soap next to the washbasin.
Li Lei took the soap and washed his hands the most delicately in his life.
When he came back, Meng Xiaoning had already served the meal.
Li Lei sat down, feeling a little sighed.
This is what it feels like to have your own home.
Even with just simple white porridge and eggs, Li Lei felt extremely happy.
After dinner, Li Lei took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Meng Xiaoning was still traditional at heart. She stopped him and said, "Go and take a rest and watch TV. I'll wash the dishes."
Whether in her home or according to her colleagues, most of the housework is done by women.
As long as a man is willing to help, he is a good man.
"It's okay. You worked hard to cook, so it's my duty to wash the dishes." Li Lei said naturally.
He worked a lot when he was in the army and got used to working.
Meng Xiaoning listened to what Li Lei said, and watched Li Lei washing the dishes so skillfully, with a surprised expression on his face.
After washing the dishes, Li Lei wiped his hands with a towel and asked, "Shall I take you around the county later?"
Meng Xiaoning shook his head: "Why are you walking around? Let's go to the shed and help our parents with their work!"
She knew that the Li family spent a lot of money on this marriage.
The house in the city, the furniture for this house, and the money for the wedding.
Li Lei's savings were probably all spent, and his family was destitute.
Although she still had some money in her hands, as she had brought back the betrothal gifts and her parents had given her some more, she didn't want to touch the money for the time being.
After a year or so, she would probably have a child. By then, she would have to spend money everywhere. And the house in the city, after it was taken over, she would have to buy furniture, which would also cost money.
Li Lei said that he was going to the city for a walk, but it was definitely not as simple as just walking around.
Eating costs money, drinking water costs money, and even parking your bicycle costs money.
They have no money now, so they have to save money!
"How can you let a bride work in the fields on the first day of her marriage?" Li Lei said with a smile, "Even if you go, your parents won't let you work! Besides, there's nothing to do in the shed right now!"
"Then stay at home and cook for your parents. It's so cold and don't run around." Meng Xiaoning said.
Seeing his virtuous wife, Li Lei couldn't stop smiling.
In the end, Li Lei failed to convince Meng Xiaoning and took her to the fields.
There really isn't much work to do recently. The newly built greenhouse has already been planted. In addition to cucumbers, eggplants and tomatoes, I also planted some rapeseed, spinach and chives. They are all planted at different times, and each time they mature only a little bit.
In this way, tasks such as watering, fertilizing, and weeding can be dispersed.
I can't sit still, but I'm not too busy either.
Meng Xiaoning stood at the edge of the field, looking at the vast white greenhouse, feeling a little shocked.
These seven acres of land are well managed by this family, and not an inch of it is idle.
In addition to the small path leading to the greenhouse, cabbage and radishes were also planted on the edge of the field.
Entering the greenhouse, the vegetables are grown neatly with very few weeds.
It can be seen that they are a family working hard.
"These tomatoes should be ready to be picked, right?" Meng Xiaoning asked, looking at the two acres of tomatoes at the edge.
These are the first batch of tomatoes, and it’s time.
However, Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming have been busy with their son's marriage recently and have not had time to take care of it.
"Wait a few days, and let your elder sister come and take it away in a few days!" Liu Guihua held Meng Xiaoning's hand and said, "It's so cold outside. If you and Xiaolei don't want to go out and play, just stay home."
Then she looked at Li Lei again: "Take Xiaoning home for lunch, I'll go back and cook for you!"
Meng Xiaoning quickly realized that the tomatoes should have been harvested long ago.
The reason why they had to wait two days was probably because the old man was afraid that she would have to work on the second day of her wedding, and she was embarrassed to refuse, so she had to come to help.
Meng Xiaoning felt warm in his heart when he felt the Li family valued him.
However, she was not a spoiled girl. Although her parents were kind to her, they also did a lot of work at home.
Besides, since she's married, we're a family now. As a family, we have to work together.
"Mom, the New Year is coming soon. Why don't we ask our eldest sister to take it away today? Everyone is buying New Year goods now, so they can sell quickly. Otherwise, in two days, no one will buy them, and they will become stale if they are kept for a long time." Meng Xiaoning said, "My dad seems to be free today, I will ask him to come over later and help with the haul."
Hearing this, Liu Guihua waved her hands quickly: "No, no, it's only the second day of your marriage, how can you start working right after getting married? Besides, how can I trouble your father for such a small matter!"
