Zhong Yuxiu came out of the shower and slowly wiped her wet black hair. Her hair was a little long and a little troublesome to take care of; however, it was easier for women to style their hair with long hair, as hair that was too short could not be changed even if she wanted to.
She had no intention of cutting her hair yet, so she walked towards the kitchen while drying her hair.
"Brother Yan."
"Yes, I'll be right there."
The two of them performed a scene where the sound arrived before the person did. Yan Rushan put down the work in his hands and wiped his body with his wet hands casually; when he stepped out of the kitchen, he saw his wife wiping her hair with her head tilted, so he walked forward and took the towel.
"Let me do it. I just washed my hair yesterday, why are you washing it again today?" He pushed her to the sofa and sat her down. He walked around the sofa and stood behind her, gently wiping her hair.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just wash it if you want."
"Don't wash your hair at night anymore. Even if you do wash it, wait an hour until it's dry before going to bed." Faced with his careless wife, he couldn't help but worry more. "The older generation said you can't wash your hair at night. It won't be noticeable now, but it will be a headache when you get older."
"If you sleep dry, it won't happen again." The custom passed down by the older generation has some truth to it, but it is not entirely correct.
Yan Rushan nodded. "You just like to wash your hair before going to bed at night. Every time I criticize you, you always have a bunch of crooked reasons waiting for me. I can't argue with you. As long as you take care of your health, it's fine. After all, you are a doctor and you know how to take care of your body. If I talk too much, you will be impatient to listen."
"Who said that?" Yuxiu turned around and glanced at him, raising her eyebrows slightly. "You are my husband, I like to hear whatever you say."
"You only know how to coax me. I wish it were true." Sweet words penetrated people's hearts, and Yan Rushan was no exception. It was like soaking in a jar of honey, and his whole body was stained with the sweet taste. "Okay, your hair is half dry, you go upstairs first; you can't sleep until your hair is naturally dry."
Zhong Yuxiu had no objection to this, besides, she couldn't sleep at the moment.
After watching her go upstairs, Yan Rushan went to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and finished in no time. After showering, he washed his clothes and hung them outside to dry before turning around and going upstairs, leaving the space downstairs to Gu Lingguo and others.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong were going to wash up, Feng Zheng was going to prepare breakfast for tomorrow, and after Wang Daya and Gong Zhaodi had settled the two children, they took the opportunity to clean the small building from top to bottom while the host family was asleep.
They didn't have to clean Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan's bedrooms, but the corridor on the second floor did need to be cleaned.
Yan Rushan pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes fell on the bed; his daughter-in-law was lying on the bed in loose pajamas. Because the clothes were thin, her figure was fully exposed, and he was actually a little moved.
Hearing the noise, Zhong Yuxiu turned around and asked, "Did you finish washing so quickly?"
"My wife is waiting for me, can't you hurry up?" He closed the door, walked over, hugged her in his arms, and pulled the quilt aside to get inside. "Wife, we haven't been intimate for several days. You don't have work tomorrow, so let me have fun tonight?"
"What are you thinking about?"
She rubbed his ear, and when he half-heartedly gave in, his reaction was a bit exaggerated. Zhong Yuxiu said, "It's no use thinking about it anymore."
Yan Rushan was puzzled, "Why didn't it work?"
"My period is coming."
Yan Rushan was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning. He lay on her in frustration and didn't want to move. "Wife, your period came at a really good time."
"It's these days every month, have you forgotten?" She glanced at him and pushed him away.
"I really forgot. I thought you wouldn't have to go to work, so you wouldn't be bothered by the hassle!"
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but blush. What the hell was going on? "You better take it easy. You're already in your early thirties. As you get older, your skin will get thicker too."
Devastated by his wife's words, Yan Rushan lay down and hugged his wife, looking aggrieved.
"My wife, do you think I'm too old?"
"It's a bit old, and it hurts my teeth."
Yan Rushan turned over and pressed the man under him, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Look, look, how are you old? There are no wrinkles on your face, and your hair is not white. You actually despise me now."
"Stop it." Yuxiu pushed, but failed to move him away. She glared at him, "It's so heavy, it's making me uncomfortable."
"You can say I'm old, but if your time is not coming, I'll see if I can forgive you."
It was just a joke, but Zhong Yuxiu put aside her joking thoughts and said, "I know you're not old. After taking the repair fluid, the hidden illness in your body has been cured. You look younger now than before, okay?"
"You just know how to coax me." He turned sideways and held her in his arms, no longer pressing her down.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "I don't know who I heard it said before, 'Men are in their prime at forty-one, while women are like tofu dregs at forty.' You're not even forty yet, so it's naturally a good age."
While Yan Rushan was happy, he also criticized, "Which idiot said that? How can a woman become like tofu dregs at the age of 40?"
"I just overheard it, how would I know who it was?" Yuxiu asked softly, not responding directly, "But women age faster."
"Don't be afraid." He patted her thin shoulders and coaxed her, "When you're forty, I'll be almost fifty. You'll be younger than me, prettier than me, and your face will be more youthful than mine."
Zhong Yuxiu shrugged coldly, "What am I afraid of? As long as I take good care of myself, I'll still be a beautiful flower, whether I'm forty or fifty."
She was not affected. Instead, Yan Rushan felt relieved and agreed with her repeatedly, saying that what his daughter-in-law said was right, even if it was wrong.
After a casual chat, Yan Rushan calmed down his desires and slept well all night.
The next morning, Yuxiu was still asleep, but Yan Rushan had already woken up. He leaned over and gently touched the corner of her eye, then got up after a moment.
Zhong Yuxiu was sleeping soundly and was not awakened until he left the room.
"Dashan is awake." As soon as Yan Rushan came downstairs, his footsteps startled the old man who was reading the newspaper. Yan Guofeng looked up at him, then lowered his gaze to the newspaper while speaking. "Where's Yuxiu?"
Yan Rushan shook his head, "It's hard to rest, let her sleep a little longer."
"You should sleep more. You young people should sleep more. Good sleep leads to good health. Yuxiu doesn't pay attention to her health when she is busy. It's a good opportunity for you to catch up on your sleep during these days of rest." Yan Guofeng has been in a high position for many years and has seen a lot, so he is more open-minded.
Young people have their own lives to live. Although they live together, the old man never asks about their private affairs. If there is something in daily life, the old man will scold the eldest grandson first instead of scolding his grandson's wife.
Wise old people can always resolve the awkwardness and distance between them and their younger generations without any effort. Such interactions make it easier for a new bride to integrate into the family from the beginning, and the couple can live in harmony, which makes the old people feel at ease!
Yan Guofeng added, "We won't be leaving for long. Do you want to go to the company to make some arrangements these days?"
"Yes, I'll go to the company later." Yan Rushan nodded. "Grandpa, shall we have breakfast first?"
"Okay, leave a copy for Yuxiu and use it when she gets up." Yan Guofeng nodded, his eyes swept over the small print on the newspaper, but he did not stand up.
Yan Rushan got up and went to the kitchen to ask Feng Zheng to leave a portion for breakfast, and then he and others brought breakfast to the table.
