Chapter 7 Wet Sheets
After dinner.
Chi Wan helped Zhang Yue'e to clean up the table and chairs, and wash the dishes and chopsticks.
She was very clear about her abilities. In the 1980s, when people relied on physical labor to make a living, she was not a lazy person who could not tell the difference between food and drink.
Even cooking is not very good.
We can only do what we can.
While the two of them were busy, Huo Nanchuan turned around and left the yard and went out for a while.
Chi Wan saw him leaving, but she didn't know what he was going to do. She didn't see him holding a hoe, and it didn't look like he was going to work in the fields.
Zhang Yue'e on the side was calling her.
She quickly looked away.
Chi Wan was not aware of it at all. In just half a day, she seemed to have a fledgling complex and was always subconsciously paying attention to Huo Nanchuan's every move.
After a while.
Even the kitchen was cleaned up.
Chi Wan walked out of the hut and saw that there were several triangular bamboo supports in the yard, with a clothesline across the middle.
Huo Nanchuan came back at some point.
The man had his back to Chi Wan, holding a red and white bed sheet in his hand.
The sheets were wet. After being washed, they were full of water and were hung on the clothesline to dry.
Drops of water flowed down the edge of the bed sheet and landed on the ground in the yard.
Huo Nanchuan stretched out his long hands and pulled the wet sheets open.
꺗 Carefully smooth out the wrinkles.
The sun is shining today, and it will be done after half a day of drying.
The man looked like a rough peasant, but he was very careful and attentive when doing things.
It turned out that he had just gone to the river to wash the sheets.
Chi Wan had the answer.
She turned to leave, but the step she took suddenly froze.
At this time.
Chi Wan's face also turned red!
sheet!
He actually went to wash the sheets!
놆Bed sheets!
The bed sheets on the wedding night, what did this mean, Chi Wan knew it very well.
Nothing happened between them last night. They just fainted and slept together.
Huo Nanchuan went to wash the sheets in such a hurry.
What is this trying to cover up?
Chi Wan thought about it and understood.
This is fatal...
He even hung the bed sheets out in the yard.
Chi Wan's face was flushed, her head was almost smoking, and her chest was beating violently.
Like a carbonated drink that has been shaken hard.
Countless small bubbles popped out.
Trying to hold back the heat on your face.
Chi Wan walked towards Huo Nanchuan, got close to him, pursed her lips and whispered, "Why did you go to wash the sheets?"
She was so shy that she wanted to stamp her feet.
Huo Nanchuan just uttered a low "hmm".
The man's handsome face was calm and indifferent.
He said, "The basin is too heavy, you can't lift it."
Huo Nanchuan's eyes seemed to sweep across Chi Wan's slender limbs.
Too thin.
The girl is white and tender.
Like peeled bamboo shoots.
It seems like it will break if touched.
Chi Wan's throat choked and she didn't know how to reply.
After all, the facts stated by Huo Nanchuan are irrefutable.
only--
She was still timid and whispered, "Can you please not leave it here?"
It's such an eyesore.
The presence is too strong.
It's simply impossible to ignore.
Huo Nanchuan calmly lowered his eyes, looked at Chi Wan's blushing and shy appearance, and asked in a deep voice, "Then where should I hang it?"
"B…"
The Huo family’s house is not this big inside and out.
If you don't hang it in the yard, you can't hide it in the room.
You can't hang it outside the house, because when you hang it outside, there won't be only people at home watching it.
Wouldn't it be true that everyone in the village knew that Huo Nanchuan washed the sheets!
This was not tantamount to a naked shouting that the young couple had done something unspeakable on their wedding night last night.
Chi Wan just thought so.
Her face turned even redder.
Huo Nanchuan still stared at him silently with calm eyes.
It was as if he had simply washed a sheet.
There is nothing ambiguous about this matter at all.
All this shyness, embarrassment, and shame were just Chi Wan's overthinking.
This man...
You really don't understand?
Are you still pretending not to understand? !
Chi Wan was struggling, and suddenly she heard a sound coming from the kitchen, as if Zhang Yue'e was about to come out.
She heard footsteps.
The whole person suddenly panicked.
Her clear eyes glanced at Huo Nanchuan from the end of her slender eyes, and then she quickly withdrew her gaze.
Chi Wan stamped her feet.
With a big red face.
They hurried back to their room.
Huo Nanchuan looked at her back as she hurriedly left, and her slender waist twisting and turning, and his thin lips slightly raised.
The air at the tip of my nose still lingered with the sweet scent that Chi Wan had emitted when she approached.
She is not only sweet.
Even her blushing face looks so pretty.
When Zhang Yue'e came out, she saw Huo Nanchuan standing alone in the yard, smiling inexplicably.
…
Prepare meals for Huo Dongzhi and Huo Chuchun.
Huo Nanchuan and Zhang Yue'e were getting ready to go out.
Now is the busy spring season, and although their family has only a few acres of land, they are short of young labor.
Huo Nanchuan has to keep an eye on everything alone.
Zhang Yue'e loved him and went to the fields with him.
But before he left the house, Huo Nanchuan went back to the house and told Chi Wan.
He was wearing the old clothes left by Huo's father, which were rough and full of patches. He had cloth shoes on his feet and a towel hung around his neck.
His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his bronzed arm muscles.
He held a large hoe in his hand.
With his tall and big body, he exudes the aura of a rough man.
Chi Wan had calmed down at this time.
Seeing that Huo Nanchuan was about to go out, she also replied with a few words of advice.
But 놆.
Chi Wan's eyes turned, and she suddenly grabbed Huo Nanchuan's wrist.
She raised her fair face and said, "Huo Nanchuan, I want to go out for a walk. I don't want to go anywhere, but to the production brigade."
Hearing this.
The man frowned slightly.
He didn't mind, he was just thinking, why did Chi Wan tell him about such a small matter as going out?
Could it be that he looked so fierce and evil that he would lock her up at home and let her give birth to a child without leaving the house?
Huo Nanchuan didn't like that he would have such an image in Chi Wan's mind.
But Chi Wan was not really happy with their marriage...
While Huo Nanchuan frowned and thought, Chi Wanxiao continued speaking.
"And 늀놆, I don't really care about 뀞Lu Xiangxiang."
"Even in our home, she dared to lie with her eyes open, saying that I eloped with that educated young man Song."
"I don't know how the news is spreading in the village now. Maybe they really believe Lu Xiangxiang's lies, so I want to go out for a walk and let them have a good look."
The voice ended.
Chi Wan raised her chin proudly, her eyes full of proud and bright light.
Humph.
Lu Xiangxiang didn't say that she eloped last night and disappeared long ago.
She wanted everyone to see that Chi Wan was still alive and well in the village, and had a good relationship with Huo Nanchuan.
Huo Nanchuan heard this.
I understood it instantly.
The wrinkles between his brows relaxed, and even the feeling of annoyance in his chest disappeared.
only.
He was a little worried.
"The way the villagers talk is not very pleasant to hear."
Huo Nanchuan considered his words carefully.
In fact, he is vulgar and a scoundrel. He likes to listen to what happens between young couples under the bed and he also likes to gossip about them.
When Huo Nanchuan was a child, he and his widowed mother Zhang Yue'e were orphans, and they survived like this.
Chi Wan said indifferently, "I won't listen to them. I'll go out and blind their eyes."
That soaring tone was full of arrogance.
Overnight, Chi Wan's original free and easy personality was revealed.
Huo Nanchuan smiled lightly and nodded.
It's considered agreed.
He lowered his head, his dark eyes falling on Chi Wan's wrist which was still holding onto him.
Chi Wan discovered this.
She quickly let go and straightened Huo Nanchuan's sleeves.
"Okay, go downstairs, and we'll see you in the evening."
The delicate touch on the skin of his wrist was gone.
Huo Nanchuan said in a hoarse voice, "Well, see you tonight."
…
Yesterday's bride.
Today's elopement corner.
As soon as Chi Wan walked into the village, she immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Look, that's Chi Wan, the educated youth who married Huo Nanchuan yesterday. She eloped with someone last night, so why is she still in the village? Am I mistaken?"
"No mistake, no mistake! She's so fair and tender, there's no one in our town who's fairer than her!"
"It is said that city people are open-minded. How can such a young girl be so dirty?"
"If she wants to be clean, she will be assigned to our village and will be willing to marry Huo Nanchuan, a peasant. Their family is extremely poor!"
"You're right. This woman must be unclean. Maybe she has been having an affair with that Song Zhiqing!"
The gossips never stopped from beginning to end.
Chi Wan suddenly discovered that her hearing was exceptionally good. Even if she walked four meters away, she could still hear the villagers' criticisms.
Especially the women who were whispering to each other, saying all kinds of ugly and dirty things.
But Chi Wan was very angry.
She never expected that the villagers not only failed to distinguish right from wrong, but also kept smearing her.
Could it be that this group of people have been brainwashed by Lu Xiangxiang?
Although Lu Xiangxiang is the original female character, the character's aura isn't that strong, right?
Chi Wan was holding her breath, and her steps forward were getting faster and faster.
But at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side.
He grabbed her wrist at once.
And called out affectionately.
“——Wan Wan!”
