After marrying the rough man Orion, the little peasant girl was spoiled

Chapter 10

"Which leg is numb?" he asked in a low voice.

Jiang Miao only felt the numbness in her leg, which was extremely ecstasy. She moved a little, like ants crossing a border, and answered honestly, "Left leg."

Cheng Huai knelt down and responded in a low voice.

Immediately afterwards, the man's generous and warm hand held her left calf and gently massaged it.

Jiang Miao subconsciously shrank her legs and widened her eyes. This strange touch made her vigilant.

Noticing that Jiang Miao shrank his legs, Cheng Huai quickly pressed it down, with the same indifferent expression as before, "Don't move."

"Oh." Jiang Miao replied honestly, feeling the strength of his pinching, and felt a little comfortable, which was comparable to the skill of a masseuse.

Cheng Huai patiently kneaded her left leg, from the knee bend down to the ankle and then up and down again. Although the movements were intimate, there was no overstepping in the slightest, and Jiang Miao felt relieved all of a sudden.

Seeing her eyes closed, Cheng Huai stopped and looked up at her, "Are you still numb?"

Jiang Miao immediately opened her eyes and shrank her legs: "It's not numb anymore, thank you."

Cheng Huai just stood up, looked away from her lap, and then left the room.

Jiang Miao rested for a while, when she heard voices from the opposite room, she knew it was Dabao and Xiaobao who woke up from a nap, so she got out of bed to see them.

"Mother! Mother!"

Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao saw Jiang Miao as soon as they opened their eyes. They were both very happy, and they stretched out their hands to be hugged by her.

Jiang Miao picked up Cheng Dabao, patted his buttocks to make him stand upright, and then went to hug Cheng Xiaobao to get up.

"Mother, Dabao is hungry." Cheng Dabao rubbed his buttocks to Jiang Miao's side, and wrapped his arms around Jiang Miao's neck.

Not to be outdone, Cheng Xiaobao crawled to his mother's side and grinned: "Xiaobao, too...hungry."

Jiang Miao was softened by the two children's coquettish voices, and said with a smile: "The mother will take you to find grandma, there is something to eat."

After carrying them out of bed and putting on their shoes, Jiang Miao led them to the backyard.

Seeing Yu Ying stuffing Chinese cabbage into the jar, Jiang Miao asked aloud, "Mother, Dabao and Xiaobao are hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Yu Ying couldn't let go of the work in her hand, pointed to the door of the stove and said, "Yes, it's all warmed in the pot on the stove, put a cloth over it, and be careful not to burn your hands."

"Okay." Jiang Miao let go of Dabao and Xiaobao's hands, and touched their heads, "Stand here, Dabao and Xiaobao, don't walk around, mother will bring you food."

The two children nodded obediently, and followed Jiang Miao eagerly.

Cheng Huai was chopping firewood, when he heard Yu Ying's words, he put down his axe, washed his hands and went to the kitchen.

Jiang Miao found the heat-insulating cloth, lifted the lid of the pot, and was about to take it, when Cheng Huai's tall figure rushed in.

He took the cloth from her hand, and quickly brought out two bowls of rice paste.

Jiang Miao looked at him and found that he was a rough guy with a cold face and a warm heart. Although he looked like he didn't want to answer, he was consistent in what he had to do.

Jiang Miao didn't say anything, but walked out with the rice paste, Cheng Huai went to move two low stools, Jiang Miao put the rice paste, Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao took the initiative to come and sit down, and began to eat obediently.

"Girl Miao, watch them eat, don't let them drop the rice paste on the ground." Yu Ying said while busy with the matter at hand.

Jiang Miao nodded, went to get a wooden spoon and sat on the sidelines, while Cheng Huai continued to chop wood.

He was busy until the sun went down, the family finished their meal, and while it was still light, Yu Ying carried the unwashed clothes to the river, while Cheng Huai walked back and forth in the yard with the two children.

Jiang Miao followed for a while and then didn't leave. She didn't eat much, and she was afraid she would be hungry in the middle of the night if she walked any longer.

The wind in the evening was cool, and the whistling on the face was particularly comfortable. When Yu Ying came back from washing, Cheng Huai bolted the door, and carried Dabao and Xiaobao to wash up.

Jiang Miao actually wanted to take a bath. She hadn't taken a bath since she came here. Although she didn't sweat, it felt uncomfortable not to take a bath for a few days.

Especially for her, who used to take a bath every day, it was even more tormenting.

Seeing Cheng Huai bringing water into the house, Jiang Miao stopped thinking for a moment. Now that there is drought, water is good.

She quickly ran up to the wooden basin, "Cheng Huai, I can do it myself."

Seeing her slender arms and legs, Cheng Huai took the water to the side in a daze, then turned around and gave her a face towel.

Jiang Miao took the handkerchief and wet it, and quickly finished washing, then took the wooden basin and poured it into the footbath next to it, and sat on the side to take off her shoes and socks.

Cheng Huai looked at her in silence and didn't speak. After she finished washing her feet, she belatedly looked away, realizing that he had started looking at her feet so blatantly.

He clenched his fingers involuntarily, his eyes flickered slightly, and he walked over to carry the water and went out.

Jiang Miao ran to bed and lay down. Cheng Huai poured water and came in, closed the door, went to get straw mats and quilts to spread out, and soon blew out the candles and lay down.

The room was quiet, and the breathing of the two could be clearly heard. Jiang Miao stared at the dark place with her eyes open for a while, then turned her head to look under the bed, "Cheng Huai, can you take me up the mountain together tomorrow?"

He wasn't breathing steadily, so he probably wasn't asleep.

She wanted to go out and have a look earlier, at least to find a way out, and she was not at ease staying at home to recuperate.

The man turned over and said nothing.

Jiang Miao also turned over, lay down beside the bed, and explained, "I want to pick dates and eat them by myself, and I also want to work with you, okay?"

"Ah."

Jiang Miao was overjoyed: "Thank you."

Cheng Huai closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

At the beginning of Mao Shi the next day, Cheng Huai opened his eyes, got up and put away the straw mat and bedding.

Thinking of Jiang Miao's request last night, he walked to the bed and gave Jiang Miao a nudge.

Before waking up, Cheng Huai hesitated for a moment, stretched out a finger and poked her arm, "Jiang Miao, get up."

"Cheng Huai, are you up yet?" Yu Ying knocked on the door outside, not much noise, but enough to wake Jiang Miao up.

Jiang Miao opened her eyes, faced a slightly dark face with a long scar across her forehead, and was in a daze.

Sit up quickly and say hello out of habit: "Good morning."

Seeing that she was awake, Cheng Huai opened the door and went out.

It seemed that it was getting late, afraid that Cheng Huai would not wait for her, Jiang Miao hurriedly got out of bed and dressed, and ran outside immediately, "Mother, where is Cheng Huai?"

Yu Ying was lighting a fire under the stove, and turned to look at her: "Why did you wake up so early, did mother disturb you?"

Jiang Miao shook her head: "No, mother, where is Cheng Huai? He promised to take me up the mountain last night."

Yu Ying started the fire with thatch, stood up, pointed in her direction and smiled, "It's right behind you."

Jiang Miao turned her head, and a tall and mighty man was standing in front of him, with his sleeves rolled up, his thick arms with obvious veins, and a hoe covered in dirt in his hand.
