Chapter 33 A Happy Day
Yike and Ziyi returned to the paradise to build a new house. Building a new house is a big project. The bamboo house that Yi Ke built before was a little smaller for the new house. Yi Ke was too small when he was building the bamboo house, and the bamboo house he built could only accommodate a 1-meter-wide bed. Even such a bamboo house took Yi Ke several days to complete. This time, Yi Ke decided to build a new house with three bedrooms and a living room.
Yi used a piece of charcoal to draw a design on wolf skin and showed it to Ziyi. Originally, he thought that Ziyi would not understand it and would have to spend some time to explain it to him, but Ziyi understood it easily. But seeing Yi Ke could draw a design, he felt very strange and asked, "Didn't you never go to school? How can you draw these? Who taught you?"
If I had known this day would come, even a fool would have doubted how a country girl like me could know so much. Yike had already thought of a reason. She said that in Hanjiagou Village, in addition to her sister Han Guihua who taught her elementary school knowledge, her grandfather also taught her some. Before liberation, her grandfather was a book boy of a landlord's young master, so her grandfather knew a lot of words and could draw, but he was afraid of being influenced by the landlord's family, so outsiders didn't know about it.
"You are really smart. You must have been very young at that time, right?" Ziyi was half-believing and half-doubting.
In order to divert Ziyi's attention, Yike spared no effort to flatter him.
"Ziyi, you are my benefactor. I am so lucky to have met you. You are my air. I cannot breathe without you."
"Ziyi, you are a good person. I agreed to marry you because I was completely out of my mind. Now that the water has dried up, I find that I love you."
"Ziyi, you know what? I thought you were so handsome the first time I saw you, so I insisted on following you."
You can tell these words are so fake as to be false, but Ziyi is still blushing at this series of shameless flattery. He stares at the little mouth that keeps opening and closing, spitting out embarrassing words. His whole body feels so hot and he wants to bite it to stop this little mouth. Um! Take a bite, take a bite, a voice encouraged. Take a bite, take a bite. Yi Ke's mouth was bitten, the unfinished words were blocked in his throat, and the world was quiet.
Ziyi, who was biting Yike's lips, was also stunned. A bloody smell filled his nostrils. Ziyi opened his mouth and found that Yike's lips were bleeding. He quickly stuck out his tongue to lick the blood clean.
"Damn it! You're a hooligan!" Yi Ke shouted.
Ziyi's neck and face turned red, and his face got even redder when he thought about what he had just done, but he stiffened his neck and refused to admit it.
"You are my wife, not a hooligan."
"It's just hooliganism! It's just hooliganism!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be a hooligan only to you." Ziyi lost his temper after being teased by Yike, and said dotingly. When this straight man said this sweet talk, Yike blushed.
"Hmph! Big pig's hoof." Yike curled his lips.
"Okay, let's stop making trouble. You go to my aunt's house to play, and I'll go cut bamboo." Ziyi said embarrassedly.
"Can we go together? If not, I want to go too."
"I'll do all the work. You're still young, just play."
"You know I'm young, but you still want to marry me. If you don't let me go, I won't marry you."
"Okay, I'll take you there, but you just have to watch from the side." Ziyi thought to himself. "You have to pamper your own woman."
The two of them took their tools and went to the paradise together. Ziyi went to cut bamboo, while Yike went to feed the chickens, rabbits and other animals and clean the house.
"My little friends, I have an older friend to talk to now, so I won't chat with you anymore. Haha! Don't look for me when you're lonely!" Yike nagged at the chickens and rabbits.
"Hahahaha! Pigs, here I am again. How are you? Are you hungry? Is the current daddy pig smarter than the previous daddy pig? Hehehe!" Yi Ke wanted to laugh when he saw this group of pigs.
After the sanitation of the hidden cave was completed, Yi Ke started the demolition operation. The old bamboo houses were demolished and new houses were built. There is a saying that goes "If the old does not go, the new will not come." Put the disassembled materials into the firewood pile together, and then take out the previously woven ropes.
Yi Ke walked out of the watchtower, passed one end of the rope through the bamboo pulley on the crooked tree, tied the other end to the bamboo, hoisted the bamboo from under the cliff, and dragged it into the cave.
"Ziyi, you've cut so many bamboos, take a break and drink some water."
Ziyi took the bamboo tube and drank the water in big gulps. He ruffled Yi Ke's hair and said, "Be good, go play in the cave for a while. It's cold outside."
"Even if I don't play, I can still cut bamboo. I was the one who cut bamboo before." Yike took the machete and went to cut bamboo. Ziyi snatched it and threw it aside: "From now on, you don't have to do these jobs. My wife, you just need to have fun happily."
Yike had traveled through time and space before and no one had ever told her that she didn't have to work, so she was deeply touched. A string of sexually lascivious words came out, and Ziyi fled in panic, chopping the bamboo with a machete. His slightly red ears betrayed his shy heart.
"Brother Ziyi, please chop slowly. I'll go make bone soup for you." Yike deliberately spoke in a sweet voice before leaving, but secretly complained in her heart, "I'm sick of you. Once you feel disgusted with me, it will be easy for you to leave." Yike thought that she hated girls with coquettish voices, and Ziyi would hate them too, so she deliberately spoke in this tone, but who knew that it would backfire.
Listening to the girl's soft, sweet voice like cotton candy, Ziyi's pores all over his body cheered with joy and he seemed to have endless energy to work. But if I knew that this was the result of my pretentiousness, I would probably be so angry that I would vomit.
After returning to the cave, Yi Ke not only made bone soup, but also slaughtered a big rooster in the chicken coop. He went to the small vegetable garden to pick a handful of fresh vegetables, washed some sweet potatoes, and fried some sweet potato pancakes.
"Ziyi, it's time to eat!" Yike shouted loudly.
"Hey! I'll be back soon." Ziyi's deep voice was magnetic. As soon as the voice fell, he appeared at the entrance of the cave. This was a family that was back. Ziyi brushed off the dust on his body and walked into the cave. He saw the small stone table filled with dishes: fried chicken with black fungus; braised pork with mushrooms; golden sweet potato pancakes; emerald green vegetables; and milky bone soup. With Yi Ke, I realized that life can be so happy and beautiful. Ziyi patted Yike's head lovingly. Yike tilted his head and muttered, "I hate this kind of head patting."
"Eat quickly. You've worked hard all morning. Eat more." Yike pushed Ziyi to sit down and stuffed a big bowl full of white rice into Ziyi's hand. This white rice was bought by Ziyi this time. Yike also sat down opposite, holding his bowl, and started eating with relish.
"Bring the bowls from my cave and use them tomorrow, and move the other things in after the bamboo house is repaired." Ziyi looked at the fact that there was only one big bowl and the rest were bamboo bowls, and he felt very distressed. He also hated the biased Yang Huaihua whom he had never met.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." The feeling of having someone care about you is indeed the best, and Yike was in a very happy mood. Yike's life goal is actually not that lofty. She just wants to be a lazy person. Now that I have Ziyi, I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. I can eat and sleep peacefully and enjoy the life of a parasite.
"Hehehe!" Yike grinned foolishly while eating.
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Ziyi asked puzzledly, not knowing what was so funny.
"Hehe! Happy!" He was really happy. Now I have someone to eat with, talk with, and live with. She was used to the hustle and bustle and warmth in that world, but after coming here, she has been lonely and isolated, spending her days with trees, flowers, plants and animals. This feeling of disparity between the past and the present gnaws at and tortures her soul every night. Now, with Ziyi's company, she is very happy and joyful, with smiles all over her eyes and eyebrows.
"As long as you are happy! As long as you are happy! Hehe!" Ziyi also smiled foolishly.
In the evening, the two of them returned to Ziyi's cave following the sun's tail. After lighting the fire in the cave, they went to Li Haoran's cave for dinner.
Li Haoran and Zhang Yuling prepared another sumptuous meat dinner. Yike's mouth and hands were covered with oil as she ate. The meat was not contaminated and Zhang Yuling was such a great cook, so she ate to her heart's content. Yike burped and said it was delicious, and looked like she wanted to eat more.
Zhang Yuling said, "This child is so pitiful. He must have been very hungry before. Yike, eat slowly. You will have food every day and will not be hungry anymore. Don't eat too much or you will feel uncomfortable later."
"Don't eat anymore. Eat tomorrow. We have plenty of meat at home. We can cook it tomorrow. It's getting late. Let's go back." Ziyi's eyes were full of pity. He thought to himself that he would never let Yike go hungry again.
"Oh, okay. Auntie, your cooking is so delicious. Thank you, Auntie! Let's go."
In order to digest the food, Ziyi accompanied Yike and walked slowly back to the cave.
