Chapter 187 186. Behave after having a child
"really."
Zhou Yi raised his head slightly, kissed Lei Li's lips, and said in a soft and soothing voice,
"But we have a clear conscience. Let them say whatever they want. Don't worry about it."
He and Lei Li were about the same height, just a little taller. Lei Li sat on his lap, and naturally, the kiss was exactly the opposite of the usual one where he would slightly lower his head to kiss her.
But they are all very suitable for kissing.
He could see a faint smile in those ink-black eyes, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the moonlight, with some warmth and joyful playfulness.
"certainly."
Lei Li chuckled softly, "I won't let them affect my mood for eating. I still have to eat my husband tonight."
He wrapped his arms around Zhou Yi's broad shoulders and rubbed his back suggestively.
The warmth of the palm was transmitted through the thin inner garment, and the fingertips frivolously kneaded the firm and beautiful muscles from time to time, and the hard nails gently scratched them.
Like a scratch of some kind.
Lei Li felt the steady and powerful heartbeat quicken slightly, and the person he was teasing also sat up straight and tensed his body, preventing him from easily pinching the sensitive skin on her back.
But the side of the waist was vulnerable and defenseless, so he grabbed it easily.
Zhou Yi froze for a moment.
He laughed happily.
Zhou Yi listened, and smiled unconsciously, patting Lei Li lightly.
"Always dishonest..."
"Once you have a child, you'll be quiet."
Lei Li responded frivolously, leaving Zhou Yi speechless and his ears slightly red, as if he was telling some dirty joke, which made Lei Li laugh again.
Then he whispered in Zhou Yi's ear with a low laugh,
"I'm serious, don't you want me to be more honest? If you make it too deep and have a baby, I will definitely be honest..."
“…”
Zhou Yi felt that this sounded familiar.
It seems that he said the same thing last time... when I was pregnant with Xiao Shengjiang.
But he wasn't that honest either.
—
midnight.
The sky suddenly brightened and there was a loud roar.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound outside the window, and the night insects and frogs were chirping in disorder, just like the crowds of people rushing to the market, hiding in panic to avoid the sudden heavy rain.
Summer is hot and rainy.
The rice harvest started early this year, and every household in the village has already harvested the rice and sold it. The Meng family's fleet had just left Qingmi County two days ago and just happened to avoid this rain.
——The rain here is mostly small-scale, and it rarely rains throughout the entire Qingmi County.
Sometimes the sun rises in the east and it rains in the west, sometimes it rains on one street but not on the next, sometimes there is only a cloud crying loudly, and sometimes a dark mountain of clouds comes with great momentum, chasing people from afar.
Sometimes it is majestic and overwhelming, sometimes it is a drizzle, sometimes it is thunderous but the raindrops are small like a child crying, and sometimes it is like tonight.
The downpour came suddenly and mercilessly, soaking the doors, windows and eaves.
The rain bell hanging on the corner of the eaves was jingling, the wind chimes under the corridor were almost blown away, and the wind lantern remained steadily lit in the swaying wind and rain.
Zhou Yi heard the sound of the door opening outside. He opened the door and took a look. It was his parents who heard it was going to rain and came out to collect the peppers and dried bamboo shoots that were drying in the corridor.
Liu Yeer saw Zhou Yi sticking his head out and quickly said, "It's raining heavily, go back quickly, be careful not to get wet and catch a cold. Is Brother Li asleep in the house?"
"He's in the house."
The sound of rain and thunder mixed together and was magnificent, like a symphony. Zhou Yi had to raise his voice, otherwise he couldn't hear clearly, and the same went for Liu Ye'er.
"You should go back to bed soon. Your father and I have packed everything. Cover yourself with a thick blanket to avoid catching a cold!"
"So do my parents."
"Hey, hey, go back!"
Liu Ye'er and Lei Dashan packed up their things in a hurry. They didn't have time to put them in the utility room, so they put them in their own bedroom first. They would take them to the utility room to dry in the shade after the rain stopped tomorrow.
Fortunately, I put the herbs in the house before going to bed, otherwise they would get wet and become moldy and unusable. Five-fingered tricholoma, wild codonopsis, etc. are all good things.
Zhou Yi originally wanted to go to the kitchen to boil water for Lei Li to wash, but seeing that the rain was so heavy, he thought it would be fine to just wipe him for the time being, so he closed the door and went back to his room.
There are elderly people and children at home. It would be bad if I caught a cold, but it would be bad if I passed it on to them. Although Sheng Jiang and Sister Jing Sheng were sleeping soundly at the moment, they had no idea it was raining heavily.
Little Jiang Yuxue is adorable. Lei Jingsheng loves this little brother very much. He often takes the child out to play and buys toys and snacks for the child.
Little Jiang has a lot of friends, and a group of kids all like Lei Jingsheng—because Sister Jingsheng is pretty, loves delicious food, and plays hide-and-seek with them.
Over time, she became known as the leader of the kids, and whenever she went out, she was followed by a group of little kids.
Lei Li, the irresponsible dad, let Lei Jingsheng coax the child to sleep. Both of them slept well, leaning against each other like two little stoves on the cool rainy night.
--certainly.
Lei Li is not that irresponsible. He is still willing to play with Xiao Shengjiang and often does so, but it is always a bit inconvenient at night.
The inconvenience is not conducive to the healthy physical and mental development of children.
"Is it raining outside?"
Lei Li half showed his face from under the quilt, and his dark eyes looked at him hazily. When Zhou Yi came closer, he hugged Zhou Yi's waist.
"Get off."
Zhou Yi sat on the edge of the bed, covered his exposed arms with his clothes, quickly wiped Lei Li's body with a clean cotton cloth, and covered him with a quilt.
The air was a little chilly after the rain. Lei Li was not wearing anything and would catch a cold if blown by the cold wind without keeping warm.
"Are there any little frogs crawling out?"
"There weren't any just now, but I should be able to see them now. There might also be earthworms and other small insects."
Zhou Yi saw him raise his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement, and said,
"But it's raining hard outside, and the door is wet, so you'd better not go out. Tomorrow, if you want to keep a few for fun, I'll catch a few for you."
"Catch one with a nice pattern."
This kind of small toad is different from the big toad. They are only the size of two fingers and cannot grow big. There are no bumps on their backs, but some strange patterns.
Some patterns look like stars, some look like stone patterns, and some look like a Buddha statue.
Out of inexplicable respect for the gods, when the villagers see such a small toad on the road, they will deliberately take it to the pond and tell their children not to catch it and play with it.
But Lei Li doesn't care.
He just suddenly felt like catching a few little frogs to play with, to scare... to tease the little ginger, and then let the little frogs run away.
after all……
Dead toads smell bad.
Catch a few frogs, a few fish, and plant a couple of lotus roots, and make a small microscopic pond, wouldn’t that be pretty?
Lei Li had seen it in the two-story house he rented in Xiling. It was a small lotus pond with a very artistic conception. There were several beautiful koi fish and toads and frogs in it. They must have jumped in from the grass.
Their house in Qingmi County has a lotus pond. If they build one, they can eat lotus roots and enjoy the flowers in the summer, and use ginger to fish. But they have to prevent children from falling into it.
Lei Li told Zhou Yi about this idea. Zhou Yi nodded and said that he would ask someone to dig another one next time he returned to the county town. It would be fine as long as he kept an eye on the little ginger.
Zhou Yi laughed to himself as he spoke. Lei Li, who was drowsy, heard his laughter and looked up at him suspiciously. "...Are you laughing at me for being childish?"
“A little bit.”
Zhou Yi smiled cheerfully and smoothed his hair that was blocking Lei Li's view.
"Isn't it childish to still be catching little frogs and building a small lotus pond when you're in your twenties?"
“…”
Lei Li narrowed his eyes, suddenly stood up and pounced on Zhou Yi, "Wait until I get angry and bite you, then you'll know how childish I am!"
"hiss……"
"Do you understand now?"
"knew."
"Still childish?"
"childish."
Zhou Yi's low voice was filled with laughter. He held Lei Li's waist tightly with his hands to prevent him from falling off the bed, and then pulled the quilt to cover him.
"More childish than little ginger. Children don't even catch little frogs to play with."
"Well, when I was a kid, I only had little frogs to play with. What's wrong with still playing with little frogs now that I'm grown up?"
Lei Li was justified.
He doesn't have as many toys as Little Ginger, such as building blocks, puzzles, storybooks, straw-woven wooden objects, small hydrangeas, and all kinds of things. What's wrong with him catching some small animals to play with?
Many children in the village play it!
"When I was little, all I had was a little wooden horse and sword that my father made for me, and a few straw weavings, but they broke quickly, so I had to find my own toys."
“…”
Zhou Yi's heart softened when he heard this. He gently stroked Lei Li's hair and said soothingly, "From now on, I'll give you a share of the toys I give to Xiao Shengjiang."
"……Um?"
Lei Li realized that Zhou Yi seemed to have misunderstood something, and he burst into laughter. The more he laughed, the happier he became, and his stomach hurt from laughing so much.
"What's wrong……?"
Zhou Yi was a little confused and rubbed his belly with his warm palms.
"You make me sound so pitiful."
Lei Li couldn't help laughing and said slowly, "You know my personality. I wasn't very well behaved when I was little. I was always running around in trees and under rivers."
"The little wooden horse and sword my father made for me were either broken or lost by me, so my mother got angry and stopped him from making them for me."
"I just catch some small insects to play with, like little frogs, crickets, earthworms, spiders... Those spiders come in all shapes and sizes, and they eat mosquitoes."
"When I was little, I didn't understand the importance of gender separation. I even fought crickets with other men my age in the village, but the crickets they caught were not as strong as mine, so I always lost."
Lei Li snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "They don't like me very much. They think it's not proper for a guy like me to do these things. I think it's just because they always lose to me and lose face."
Zhou Yi nodded firmly and said, "Of course it is. They are not as good as you."
Lei Li raised his lips and smiled, with a hint of mischief and intimidation in his voice, "I used to raise bats. Have you ever seen a bat?"
"No."
Zhou Yi shook his head.
"Don't be fooled by their hairy faces and fangs, as they look scary, but when they're born, they're tiny and furry, and they're quite cute."
Lei Li snorted and said, "I thought it was a little mouse and that my parents wouldn't let me raise it, so I secretly raised it and fed it rice grains. I didn't expect it to die overnight."
He said this with a hint of regret, "I wanted to raise one and show it off. A flying bat is much cooler than a flying bird!"
