His body still smelled fresh from a shower, which made her shiver.
"cold?"
Lu Huaijin took bigger steps.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the bedroom, put Xu Niannian on the bed, and threw her a dry towel:
"Wipe your hair."
With the other hand, he wiped his wet hair with a towel.
Xu Niannian glared at him:
"I will leave, and don't hug me anymore."
Lu Huaijin's hair was relatively short, so it was half dry after just two wipes. He went straight to the bed and took the towel from Xu Niannian's hand:
"Can't I hug you anywhere?"
Xu Niannian enjoyed the feeling of being served by a man. Her big palm could indeed wipe the area much faster than she could by herself.
"How do you know that pregnant women like to eat sour food?"
Lu Huaijin wiped her hair a little more vigorously, then lowered his head and bit her lips hard.
Yes, it was biting, as if venting its dissatisfaction.
Gnawing, kneading, with a predatory murderous intent.
Xu Niannian covered her painful mouth:
"What are you doing?"
"You really don't believe in my innocence?"
"I'm just wondering how you even know this. I thought you were focused on the war."
"Your man is just an officer, not a saint, so you should have some common sense, okay?"
"Then I think you have some common sense. Pregnant women cannot eat hawthorn. Eating too much can easily lead to miscarriage."
"Then should I ask you, a young girl who has been married for only a short time, how do you know this?"
"you!"
Xu Niannian wanted to push him away, but was held back by Lu Huaijin.
Look at her snow-white shoulders and neck exposed after taking a shower, and her long and slender legs exposed under her skirt.
His Adam's apple rolled, and his big palm began to rub her waistline:
"Still sore?"
Xu Niannian's hair leaned against the head of the bed:
"Well, go a little higher, and use a little more force."
The occasional moans that escaped from between her lips and teeth made Lu Huaijin's heart warm.
He tried his best to serve, but when he raised his head while rubbing Xu Niannian, he found that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep.
He looked at his lower body helplessly, then helped her pull up the quilt and touched her already dry hair.
Go out to enjoy the cold wind.
The night sky was full of stars and the moonlight seemed a little dim. I suddenly felt a little irritable and wanted to smoke a cigarette. I reached into my pocket, but put it down again when I remembered something.
The next morning, Xu Niannian woke up early. She had gone to bed early the night before, so she stretched and went to cook.
Their family's breakfast is always simple. Xu Niannian beat a few eggs, made a bowl of egg custard, steamed a few buns, and cooked rice porridge underneath.
She started to process the hawthorns she had brought back yesterday. She washed dozens of them for Lu Ze and his friends to eat. The youngest was only three years old, so Xu Niannian removed all the cores for fear that they would get stuck in the children's throats.
There were ready-made bean paste and rock sugar in the space, so he took them directly.
She made two kinds of candied haws.
One method is to flatten the outer layer, directly coat it with a thin layer of sugar coating, and then sprinkle a layer of white sesame seeds.
One type is also pressed slightly flat with a bean paste in the middle and coated with white sesame sugar on the outside.
They are all very common candied haws in later generations.
Looking at the tender strawberries in the space, I couldn't help but made myself two strings of strawberry candied haws and ate them secretly.
As soon as Lu Ze and his friends woke up, they smelled the sweet scent of sugar. It must be something delicious made by their aunt.
He hurriedly dressed his brother and ran out with him.
Sure enough, strings of candied haws had been placed in the yard to dry. Xu Niannian wanted to make it easier for the children to eat them, but was also afraid that something might happen to them when they used the sticks.
There are only three candied haws on each stick, and the pointed tip of the stick has been removed.
After the rock sugar is melted, it is wrapped around the candied haws, which shine brightly under the rising sun.
Lu Ze and his brother stood aside and swallowed:
"Auntie, can we eat now?"
"Sure, but each person can only eat one skewer. We'll have to eat soon."
Lu Ze and his brother struggled for a long time and decided to switch positions later.
He was still a little hesitant when looking at the red thing wrapped in sugar coating. The previous one was so sour that it made his teeth ache. Lu Yilin was not so particular and just bit into it directly. Although the candied haws only suffered a little flesh wound, a piece of sugar coating was bitten off!
Lu Ze no longer hesitated. With a "crunch", the outer layer of sugar coating neutralized the sour taste of the hawthorn very well, making it taste sweet and sour, and the sound was also clear and refreshing.
Xu Niannian was frying two vegetarian dishes in the house.
I asked outside:
"Is it tasty?"
Lu Ze puffed his cheeks and nodded affirmatively:
"tasty."
Lu Yilin also said it was delicious. Xu Niannian smiled. The thing this kid talked about most was how delicious it was and the names of the delicacies.
There was a sudden knock on the door. It was so early in the morning, and Xu Niannian thought it was Sister Li who wanted to talk to her:
"Lu Ze, go help aunt open the door."
Lu Ze walked with his short legs to open the door. Lu Huaijin had already opened the door in the morning, so now he just had to open it.
After opening it, Lu Ze looked up at the person in front of him. He didn't seem to recognize him:
"Who are you looking for?"
"I......"
Xu Niannian's voice came from the kitchen:
"Let Aunt Li come in directly."
Lu Ze muttered:
"It's not Aunt Li."
But the person in front of him walked straight inside. Xu Niannian lifted the hair that fell beside her ear:
"Just collect the pot at the end, huh? Sister-in-law, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
When I looked out, it wasn't Sister Li.
She frowned slightly. Who is this person? So rude, just coming in directly.
Jiang Yue secretly observed the surrounding environment. Vegetables had been planted in the yard. They were growing well and were able to work, which was in line with her stereotype of child marriage.
Then her eyes fell on the candied haws. She had eaten candied haws before, but this one looked quite novel. It was a clever trick to use delicious food to capture the hearts of children.
Finally, his eyes fell on the figure busy in the kitchen.
As expected, I have to get up early in the morning to cook. Can this satisfy Lu Huaijin's needs?
She bit her lip. Was it all her fault that she was too busy at work?
After Xu Niannian saw that it was someone he didn't know, he quickened his hands' movements and put the dishes directly onto the plate.
I walked out of the kitchen. Now that the weather is getting cooler, it’s still a bit hot in the kitchen to cook.
Tiny beads of sweat oozed from the tip of her nose, and she smiled at the woman who came into the yard:
"Are you a military wife from some family? I just got here and I don't know many people. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
After seeing her face and figure clearly, Jiang Yue's pupils dilated slightly.
Although she was dressed simply, her skin was smooth and delicate, white as snow, and without even a trace of pores. It was the skin that the performers envied the most.
Look at her again, she has red lips, white teeth, a perfect face shape, a slender waist, and a perfect clothes hanger.
