Chapter 13013. Complete the wedding night
Eggs and wild onions.
The combination of animal protein and plant matter, with simple oil and salt, and high-temperature catalysis, creates a delicious flavor that is hard to describe.
Although there are more green onions and less eggs, for the people of Sanlihe Village, this is a rare delicacy.
Dad Lei Dashan wanted to leave some for Lei Li and his wife to eat.
Mother Liu Ye'er didn't move, and urged Zhou Yi to try it, saying that if it tasted good, she would make it for them next time.
Zhou Yi didn't pick it up.
He looked at Lei Li.
Lei Li glanced at him and said, "Why are you looking at me? Just eat when your mother tells you to."
Zhou Yi nodded. There were no serving chopsticks here and since they were all family, he first gave everyone a chopstick before picking up some for himself, and ate it with big mouthfuls of sweet potato rice.
Zhou Yi is not picky about food.
If there is big fish and meat, eat big fish and meat; if there is coarse vegetables, eat coarse vegetables. But it is definitely better to eat better. The rare delicious taste made Zhou Yi's brows relax.
But his actions stunned Lei Li.
Lei Li looked at the eggs in the bowl, and remembered that Zhou Yi had given him mostly green onions. For no reason, he felt a little hot and awkward in his ears.
He picked up the plate and divided it equally among the four people, so that everyone had wild onions and eggs to eat.
Lei Dashan still wanted to say no.
Liu Ye'er nudged his elbow and smiled gratifiedly at the young couple. "It's all the children's good intentions, so don't refuse. If the parents don't eat, how can the children eat?"
Zhou Yi paused.
He ate quickly. Within the time it took him to finish the scrambled eggs with wild onions that Lei Li had given him, there were only two pieces of sweet potatoes left in the bowl.
The bowls at Lei Li’s house are quite big.
But he only felt half full after eating a whole bowl.
"You can eat more than me..."
Lei Li pinched Zhou Yi's arm muscles, muttering, but then filled him up with a bowl of rice. "Eat your fill and come with me to work in the mountains tomorrow, okay?"
"Know."
Zhou Yi nodded, and finished his meal with some green vegetables. He told Lei Li's parents to eat slowly, then took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it.
Lei Li's family uses wood ash to wash dishes.
It's not just their family, it's the same for all the poor families in Sanlihe Village and even the entire town. The food doesn't have much oil or water, and there's alkali in the wood ash, which can easily clean the dishes, and there's no need to spend extra money to buy soapberries.
Lei Li ate quickly. When the bowl was brought in, Zhou Yi took it and washed it in a few seconds. His movements were natural and quick.
Lei Li stared at him for three seconds and said, "Now I feel like you don't look like a young master anymore."
"What does that look like?"
"Like the servants who have been with the young master since childhood, they have a bit of noble airs, but they are not destined to be rich."
"Are you scolding me?"
"That's a compliment to you."
"……Thanks."
Lei Li thought about it after hearing this, but couldn't figure it out. He asked Zhou Yi, "When you say thank you, what do others say?"
"You're welcome."
Zhou Yi thought for a moment and added, "If it's a respectful response, a subordinate to a superior or a junior to an elder, they can also say, 'This is what I should do, don't take it to heart.'"
"To be more polite, or as you say, 'I'm just trying to help you, no need to be so polite.'"
Lei Li seemed to be lost in thought.
Lei Li called out to him, "Then say thank you again."
"Thanks."
"That's what you should be thankful for."
"Um?"
Zhou Yi tilted his head. "I can say 'I should do it', but you say 'this is what you should thank me for'. This is impolite to the person you are thanking."
"Oh... then please say thank you again."
"Thank you."
"You should be thankful."
Lei Li grinned at him, cunning and domineering, like a fox with its tail raised.
Zhou Yi shut up silently.
Well, people who pinch others’ necks, kiss them forcibly and force them to marry are not very polite.
—
It gets dark pretty quickly at the end of March.
It was time for a break shortly after the meal.
But Zhou Yi didn't really want to go back to rest, because he didn't want his pants to be stripped, and he really didn't want to recite the Eight Honors and Eight Shames, Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention again.
I didn't dare to react when being touched... Even though I was innocent, it was painful.
"Husband."
A clear male voice came from the room, with a smile and a warning, "What are you lingering outside the door for? Come in quickly, do you want me to invite you in, or do you want others to see you naked..."
Zhou Yi rushed into the house and covered Lei Li's mouth, his face flushed. "The soundproofing in this house is so poor, can't you just keep quiet?"
Lei Li looked at him.
Zhou Yi silently released the hand covering his mouth, then silently tightened his trousers, "Didn't Doctor Niu say? We need to take our time... This kind of thing can't be rushed."
Lei Li looked at him steadily, expressionless, as if thinking about something. When he saw Zhou Yi retreat inexplicably, he felt a chill in his legs, thinking that he was mentally pondering how to get rid of him.
Lei Li finally spoke, "Okay, I'll take my time."
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Lei Li stared at his piece, his expression like a cat wondering if its mouse was dead. "But you have to let me know if you can do it, right?"
Zhou Yi didn't dare to say a word.
He was really afraid that Lei Li was just bluffing, trying to trick him into getting erect so he could force himself on him...
Although it was a bit rude to say so, and it was very disrespectful to him as a former soldier, Lei Li did not play by the rules. He would even try it secretly while Zhou Yi was asleep.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi was quick to react even though he was asleep, and he grabbed Lei Li's hand that was trying to do something wrong.
Then he pinched my face and kissed me forcefully.
It's not even a kiss.
He just bit it roughly and without any method, just like biting a sweet potato, which made Zhou Yi's mouth red and painful, and it was still swollen when he woke up the next day.
When his father Lei Dashan saw it, he honestly thought it was a mosquito bite, so he gave him a big bag of mugwort rolls and asked him to smoke out the mosquitoes at night.
Zhou Yi was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
"I won't mess around this time."
Lei Li raised two fingers and swore.
Zhou Yi didn't believe it.
"I lied to you that I couldn't get pregnant, okay? I'm your husband, I can't not even know if my husband is capable or not..."
Zhou Yi was skeptical, but he still believed Lei Li and nodded hesitantly, "I'm not impotent."
"Then what?"
"What then?"
"Prove it to me."
"……ah?"
Zhou Yi was stunned. How could he prove this? There was no hospital here. He couldn't just grab Doctor Niu in the middle of the night to treat him, could he?
Lei Li stared straight down at him.
Zhou Yi covered his eyes silently.
"Why are you covering me up? How can I tell if you're lying if you don't show me?" Lei Li pulled his hand away and said, "Is it really not okay if I can't curse you for lying? What should I do if you can't?"
“…”
Zhou Yi felt powerless, unable to curse. After thinking for a moment, he explained, "I sometimes have a reaction in the morning, and sometimes I dream about it..."
"Who are you dreaming about?"
"I didn't dream about anyone. The dream was very vague and I couldn't remember much of it when I woke up. But there was some wetness on my underwear... You'll know when you have a wet dream."
"Wet?"
“That’s sperm cells.”
"Sperm cells?"
Lei Li frowned. The more he talked, the more confused he became. "Don't talk about that. Tell me something I can understand. What did you do in your dream to get your pants wet?"
Although he had a rough idea of what to do, it was only a rough idea.
“…”
Zhou Yi looked at Lei Li. There was a look of doubt and irritability on his face that didn't seem fake, and he also had a certain innocence that made Zhou Yi feel like he was leading a child astray.
He is 28 years old.
Thunder Li 20.
They are just children.
Zhou Yi didn't know how to explain the wet dream and the fertilization process to him. After all, Lei Li had never studied biology, and what he cared about more was—
"Since you don't understand what's going on, why do you keep asking me to have a baby?"
"What else can a marriage be without children?"
Lei Li said confidently, "Besides, I'm just a guy, how can I know everything? I haven't cheated on anyone, but you, you don't want to have a baby with your husband every day, aren't you ashamed?"
"...I think you should be more embarrassed for pulling down my pants."
Zhou Yi sighed.
There is no universal education in modern times, let alone in this backward fictional ancient times. The boys here only know that they should get married and have children, but they don’t know why they should get married or how to get pregnant.
"Don't think I don't understand anything."
Seeing him silent, Lei Li quickly showed off, "I've seen the picture album. It's clearly drawn there. I know why there's a doll..."
Actually he doesn't know.
The booklet was stuffed into his hands by his mother. The drawings on it were very blurry, and one could only see the general process and positions. The key parts were as if they were illuminated by holy light, and his mother was also vague about them.
"Anyway, I'll use your thing and my belly. When I keep vomiting and my belly gets bigger, I'll be pregnant."
Zhou Yi hesitated to speak and finally sighed.
Lei Li couldn't even kiss his family, so what could he possibly understand? A boy, based on gender...here, should be the same as a little girl?
His appearance does not conform to the local people's aesthetic standards, he is extremely tall, he has to support his family and earn money, and he has no brothers or sisters to help him. Who can he rely on except to become strong himself?
Even so, people outside will still gossip about you.
Zhou Yi still remembers how rude the women and husbands living by the river said when he went to wash clothes that day, and he also heard some gossip when he went to plant rice.
It's not easy to be forceful, but he's used to being forceful, which is why he acts fiercely all day long. However, although he seems reckless, he is actually meticulous, like a hedgehog that is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
Like today, although Lei Li said he would not help the little girl who bought flowers, he saw Lei Li stuffing money into the little girl's pocket. Even if it was just a few cents, he would still sell several eggs.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lei Li frowned uncomfortably and said, "Looking at me like that, as if I'm so pitiful, knowing how pitiful I am, why didn't you let my parents hold their grandchild earlier? It's not like you gave birth to the child, so why wouldn't you be happy about it?"
“…”
Giving birth to a baby is not like laying an egg. You still have to take good care of the baby after giving birth.
Zhou Yi tried to explain that raising a child was not easy, but Lei Li got impatient after hearing that. She pushed Zhou Yi onto the bed and kissed him twice.
"Are you really capable? I'm telling you, if you dare to play tricks on me, you're done for."
"It's not impossible..."
Zhou Yi was truly exhausted. Even when he was leading the most difficult recruits, he had never felt this way. "It's just that you grabbed me there with too much force, and you were rubbing and biting me, with such sharp teeth and sharp tongue... I didn't feel that way."
"Then I'll be gentle?"
Lei Li's hands were ready to move. "If I'm gentle, you can do it, right? I promise to be gentle. If it hurts, just tell me. I'll complete the wedding night first..."
