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

Chapter 22 Let's go to the river to wash clothes together

Chapter 22

After pouring out a bowl of clean water, Jiang Miao took it to the field, looked at the man in the field, "Cheng Huai, take a break and drink some water."

The man's hoeing action paused, and he stood for a while before striding over, looking at her faintly.

"Drink water." Jiang Miao greeted him with a smile, and wiped his face with a handkerchief, "Why don't you go indoors and rest for a while, it's still very hot now."

Cheng Huai turned his head away uncomfortably, the scar on his forehead twisted slightly, as if he was wondering why she stopped being angry all of a sudden.

"Let's go, mother asked you to help her get something, you are the tallest in the house, neither of us can get it." Jiang Miao poked his arm with a smile.

The man's arms are tight and powerful, and the elasticity and strength of the muscles can be clearly felt in the fingertips.

There was a soft touch on the arms, and the numbness spread to the limbs. Cheng Huai's lips were tightly pressed together, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards the house.

Jiang Miao hurriedly followed, walked quickly, looked up at his distinctive profile, and explained: "Cheng Huai, I misunderstood just now, I thought you were trying to scare me on purpose."

The man stopped, looked down into her bright eyes, "I didn't want to scare you."

Jiang Miao nodded immediately: "Well, I misunderstood, don't take it to heart."

Cheng Huai's eyes flickered, and he lifted his foot and continued walking into the house.

As long as she's not angry.

After entering the house, Jiang Miao was rushed over by Dabao and Xiaobao and hugged her legs.

Standing in front of the cabinet, Yu Ying turned her head and beckoned to Cheng Huai, "Cheng Huai, help mother remove the box from the cabinet."

The cabinet is very high, and the box is big, so it is difficult for Yu Ying to carry the stool by herself.

Cheng Huai walked over and reached out to lift the box down, seemingly effortlessly.

Opening the box, Yu Ying took out a piece of light blue cloth with a smile on her face.

She put her hand on it and touched it lightly, "If it wasn't for the blue cloth that Miao girl bought today, I would have almost forgotten about this cloth."

Jiang Miao pinched Dabao and Xiaobao's cheeks, and led them to Cheng Huai's lap to hug them.

Then he stepped forward curiously, "Mother, when did you buy this piece of cloth?"

Yu Ying sat down on the stool, with a smile on her lips: "This is the cloth Cheng Huai's father bought for me when he came to Beijing. I didn't expect so many years to pass."

I heard that Cheng Huai's father never came back after he entered Beijing, and there is no news about him, and he still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

Yu Ying is afraid that she is thinking of something sad now.

Jiang Miao turned her head to look at the man standing silently behind her, then turned around and took Yu Ying's hand, and sat down beside her.

Changed the subject and said: "Mother, this cloth is really beautiful."

Hiding the moisture in her eyes, Yu Ying's eyes brightened, and said: "Yeah, I just thought that I can add it to your new clothes. They are all blue, and the color will look better then."

Jiang Miao nodded obediently, "Mother's eyesight can't be wrong."

Seeing people crowded in one room, Yu Ying immediately put away her emotions, stood up and began to chase them away: "What are you all doing in the room? The work is done? Get out, get out, don't interfere with my clothes making."

Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai were kicked out, and they stood at the door and looked at each other, speechless.

"Cheng Huai, go to the entrance of the village and buy some more candles, and then ask if there is any sesame oil, and then buy some." Yu Ying said as she opened the door.

"Okay." Cheng Huai turned around and went to the house to get the money, and went out soon.

Yu Ying looked at Jiang Miao again, "Girl, go to the stove to see if the medicine is ready, don't just take it with your hand."

Facing Yu Ying's innocent look, Jiang Miao nodded: "Understood, mother."

Went to the stove, the herbs and bone soup on the stove were still boiling, Jiang Miao moved to the side of the bone soup first, and took a deep breath.

The rich meaty aroma hits the nostrils, instantly hooking people's taste buds and making the mouth water.

Walking to the other side and smelling it, Jiang Miao's small face immediately wrinkled. The smell of this herb was bitter to the stomach.

But seeing that it would take a while, she didn't hurry to take it down, but went to tidy up the dirty clothes she changed yesterday, planning to go to the river to wash.

Before because of the injury, Yu Ying helped her wash it. Now that her injury is almost healed, there is no reason to be so lazy all the time.

Holding the basin and going to the front, Cheng Huai just bought candles and sesame oil and came back.

Seeing that she was holding a large basin of clothes in her hands, Cheng Huai put the things away and came over to help her hold them.

Looking down, besides her own clothes, the whole family's clothes are inside, which adds up to a lot.

Jiang Miao immediately said: "No need, I can carry you, Cheng Huai, go and do your work."

Yu Ying led the children out of the house, seeing Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai holding the two ends of the basin, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Ms. Miao is going to do the laundry?"

Jiang Miao nodded: "Well, mother, I have time now, and I thought about taking the clothes to wash."

Yu Ying nodded: "Then you and Cheng Huai go together, slide by the river, let him watch you."

Jiang Miao couldn't be more cautious about that river, so naturally he wouldn't let himself slip.

Just as he was about to refuse, the basin in his hand was snatched away by Cheng Huai, and the man strode out the door.

"Cheng Huai, I can do it myself." Jiang Miao hurriedly ran up, but this man seemed to be struggling and was always faster than her.

Just stopped chasing and followed him with a mallet.

It was as if Cheng Huai was running away at the front, and Jiang Miao was at the back holding a mallet to beat someone.

It wasn't until the riverside that Jiang Miao rested for a while, this chasing job really wasn't suitable for her short legs.

It was evening, and it wasn't too hot outside. Several women were also washing clothes by the river. When they saw Cheng Huai, they were stunned for a moment, and soon greeted Cheng Huai familiarly.

"Cheng Huai is here to do the laundry!"

"Yo, Cheng Huai's wife is also here."

This laundry place has been the first channel of information in the village since ancient times. Jiang Miao greeted them friendly: "Hello, aunts."

Cheng Huai didn't say anything, just lifted up his trousers, squatted down with the laundry tub in his hands, got up and took the mallet away from Jiang Miao's hand.

Jiang Miao was stunned:! ! !
She walked over and squatted down, took out the clothes in the basin, and looked at the silent man beside her: "Cheng Huai, I'll do the laundry, you go back quickly."

With so many people here, nothing can happen to her.

"Give me the mallet." She stretched out her hand towards him, wanting to experience this primitive way of washing clothes.

Cheng Huai didn't give it, and already soaked his clothes nimbly, dragged it to the smooth stone beside him and began to beat it.

That posture is more skilled than the aunts and aunts next to him.

She couldn't say anything for a moment, feeling that she was not as good as him.

"Jiang Miao, let Cheng Huai wash it, he is doing well!"

Aunt Li who lived at the foot of her house also smiled and said, "Yes, Cheng Huai loves you. You married a good man."
