Chapter 145 Today's Wash
Chapter 145 Today's Wash
In Xiaoyao Garden, Xiaojiu and Bailu were very diligent. They decided to prepare for the coming of winter in advance, and dried and washed the items at home. So, the hot water in the kitchen has been running since early in the morning, and many clothes are easier to wash with warm water.
Xiaojiu is the main force and Bailu helps. Although Xiaojiu has never asked her to work, she feels that it is definitely more beneficial to do some work within her ability. To have a baby in this era, one can only rely on one's own physical strength. She should exercise while she is in good condition, otherwise she will be the one who suffers.
After a hard morning, the open space in the front and back yards was filled with tripods, on which quilts, quilt covers, pillows, pillowcases, sheets, clothes, pants, shoes... almost everything that could be moved was moved out. The two of them cleaned the empty room together, including the dead corners, and even opened all the doors and windows for ventilation, calling it the White Dew season to let the midday sun disinfect them.
After finishing all these, they both felt exhausted and lay on the sofa to be lazy. Bai Lu began to complain that her elder sister Yanan didn't keep her word. She said she would take her to learn acupuncture points, but it was already noon and she was nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Jiu couldn't help laughing when he heard Bai Lu complaining, "Madam, don't you know everything? And you still said she couldn't get out of bed!"
"I'm just talking casually... Are you hungry, Xiaojiu? How about we think about where to get a meal?" Bai Lu felt that it was not appropriate for her to discuss those things with him, so she simply changed the subject.
Xiao Jiu was slightly stunned. Is it possible to do this? Although he was tempted, he still took a cautious look at her pregnant belly and thought that he would talk about eating for free later. "My wife, I'll go cook. We'll make something fresh. You wait!"
"Oh... don't bother. I'm still very good at eating occasionally. I want noodles, egg noodles, minced meat noodles, beef noodles, any noodles are fine, and a plate of fried fresh vegetables. I don't want to drink soup this time, really!" Bai Lu hurriedly emphasized that she was really tired of drinking nutritious soup. Why not find time to ask the imperial chef to change the recipe? Otherwise, with Xiao Jiu's stubborn mind, he always copied the same recipe, and anyone would get tired of it!
"Okay! I get it. I can do all of these!" Xiaojiu responded and went out. He wanted to pick fresh vegetables first and then make noodles.
"Hey... just make one kind!" Bai Lu was afraid that he would make all the noodles he mentioned and treat her like a pig, which would be embarrassing.
"Haha... I get it!" Xiaojiu laughed secretly. How could his wife look so cute when she was worried about him? He was not stupid!
The family of Huaheng and Yanan were doing the same thing as Xiaoyaoyuan. Huaheng was busy all morning washing and drying all the things that the fourth child brought back, and they also filled up a large yard. The only difference was that Huaheng was the main laborer, and Yanan didn't wake up until almost noon. Shen Wen pulled all the thick curtains in the room, and the whole room was dim, making her mistakenly think that it was still early, so she went to sleep peacefully. She didn't get up until she felt so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore. When she opened the curtain, she found that the sun was shining outside!
Shen Wen, you are really amazing!
Yanan gnashed her teeth. She was a little irritable because of hunger. She combed her hair and put on her clothes in a hurry. She had to find food first and then dress herself up. Knowing that there was no food in this courtyard, she went straight through the two back doors to Hua Heng's courtyard. "Husband! I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?"
Silence… ?
"Where are the people?...Hua Heng? Where is he?" Yanan looked around several rooms but couldn't see anyone. He was standing in the backyard in a daze.
"Madam? You're awake!" Hua Heng stood at the backyard door and looked at Yanan.
"...Where have you been? I'm starving!" Yanan turned around and found that he came from the middle yard. Suddenly, she remembered that they always cooked in the kitchen of the middle yard. She was so sleepy and hungry that she made such a mistake.
"...Okay! Let's eat! I've prepared lunch!" Hua Heng saw that she didn't seem to be in a good mental state, so he didn't say anything else. He just walked up to her, took her hand and led her to the small dining table in the kitchen.
She was served a bowl of vegetable and meat soup first, and then the food warming in the steamer was brought to the table.
"Oh, this vegetable soup is delicious, another bowl!" Yanan finished a bowl of vegetable soup and felt alive again. The resentment in her heart finally subsided a little, and she couldn't help but make the common mistake of ordinary women, complaining about another man in front of one man.
"Hua Heng, Shen Wen is such a jerk! He tortures me so hard, wuwu... I wish I could get pregnant now so I don't have to serve a stinky man anymore! Wuwu... I have such a miserable life..."
"..." Hua Heng, one of the stinky men, was speechless for a moment. He could only keep looking at her, eating a few bites, and complaining a few more times...
"Why don't you speak up for me?" Seeing Hua Heng didn't say anything, Yanan turned her anger towards him.
"..." Hua Heng's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether he should scold Fourth Brother with her or reflect on himself first.
"You have nothing to say, right? All men are the same. He is not a human being, and neither are you nor Nanchen! I'm so mad at you!" Yanan was still very angry and knocked down the three brothers with one blow.
"Well! Madam, eat your meal first, and then I'll write a letter to scold them!" Hua Heng finally uttered these words.
"What about you? What should you say?" A woman in a bad mood will never give in.
"As for me, you can scold me in person after you're full, but you can also scold me in a letter. I can write you a reply on the spot." Hua Heng is indeed a gentle gentleman with a good temper!
"…" Writing a letter to curse someone, and replying to the letter on the spot, this is a trick that even elementary school students don't play! Childish ghost! Yanan stared at her handsome face for a long time, and then he let out his anger first. Thinking about it in his heart, he also found that his anger came inexplicably. Is it a sign of good friends? It seems that there is still more than a week left!
"I'll go see my uncle this afternoon, Doctor Wang, to check my body. I need to prepare for pregnancy. After I get pregnant, I'll take a year off. Don't even think about tormenting me again!" Yanan took a deep breath, and his words were somewhat angry!
"Okay! Eat quickly, I'll help you take a look! Massage and relax, we'll go again in the afternoon!" Hua Heng had nothing to say at this time, and his wife's anger had subsided. Hua Heng, who had suffered for his brothers, thought in his heart, should he write a letter to scold his brother? But considering that everyone was too busy to go home, forget it! He was still confident that he could take good care of his wife's mood!
"I'm sorry, husband, for making you busy with so many things!" After filling her stomach, Yanan finally found the sheets, clothes and other things drying in the yard! She understood that her husband had many things to do, but he still took good care of the family. She had to appreciate this, otherwise it would be too ungrateful.
"My wife, it's okay. I'm almost done with my work. The rest is up to the clinic. I'll treat these housework as exercise. Besides, my fourth brother told me not to disturb you before he went out in the morning, so you can catch up on your sleep and sleep until you wake up naturally!" Hua Heng's face was sincere and his eyes shone with a harmless light.
"..." Yanan rolled her eyes at him helplessly. Don't think that she couldn't hear that he was trying to excuse Shen Wen. She looked at herself again, feeling a little embarrassed. She ran out without washing her face or brushing her teeth. She was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so she decided to tidy herself up first. Yanan immediately slipped away. After washing up, she changed her clothes inside and out, combed her hair again, and braided her hair with an expensive headband. It looked beautiful and eye-catching. She then applied the newly bought moisturizing oil on her face and put on lip balm on her lips. Now it finally looked acceptable. No matter where she is, women should always take care of themselves, not be unkempt and sloppy, otherwise they will suffer a big loss sooner or later!
Yanan was dressed fresh and beautiful, and she went back to find her good husband Hua Heng, dazzling his eyes!
