Yu Ying went over to help her light the fire, thought for a while and said, "Drink the porridge, and make an egg later."

"Okay, then I'll cook some more and save some for their workers to drink at noon." She nodded and answered, and went out to move the low stool in for Yu Ying to sit on.

Yu Ying looked up at her neck, "How is the neck, does it matter?"

"It's okay, I guess it will be fine tomorrow."

Jiang Miao touched her neck, but it didn't hurt much. She could remove the gauze after breakfast later, but it felt a little uncomfortable to wrap it around.

After washing the rice and cooking it, she took a bowl to put fermented bean curd in it, it would be best to drink it with porridge later.

Seeing the man walking back in a hurry, she turned her head and shouted: "Mr.

Seeing her scooping fermented bean curd, Cheng Huai slowed down and walked over to help her hold the jar, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I didn't shout when I saw that you were sleeping soundly. You'll be fine if you sleep a little longer." Raising his hand to straighten his pouted collar, Jiang Miao touched his arm.

Cheng Huai lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, and Yu Ying behind him immediately coughed twice.

Jiang Miao quickly retracted her face, and pushed the man's hand away, "I'll do it myself, you go wash up, and drink rice soup later."

"Okay." The man smiled, turned his head and called his mother, and then went out to wash up.

Yu Ying looked at the fire and saw Cheng Huai carrying water to the vegetable field, and Jiang Miao followed with a wooden ladle.

"Sir, be careful with your hands."

The man's eyes fell on her neck, "It's okay, does your neck still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, wait until we go to the house to dismantle it, it's hot this day." Jiang Miao scooped up the water and watered the vegetables, "Go pull the weeds, use the other hand."

"Yeah." He knelt down to work, and after a while, he came to take the wooden ladle from Jiang Miao's hand, and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law, go outside to rest."

"Girl Miao, come to drink porridge." Yu Ying shouted outside.

Jiang Miao responded, and seeing that the water was almost finished, she stood by the side and waited for Cheng Huai.

Picking up the wooden barrel, the man came over, put his arms around her waist and hugged her out.

Jiang Miao laughed angrily, and supported his strong shoulders, "Yesterday I complained that my hands hurt, but now I have nowhere to use my strength."

"Holding a daughter-in-law doesn't take much effort." Out of the yard, Cheng Huai slowly put the person down, and walked to the well to wash his hands.

Jiang Miao went to the kitchen to beat eggs in a bowl, and made a large spoonful of rice soup, which filled the air with a faint fragrance.

Seeing that nothing happened, Yu Ying got up and went out, "I'll go see if the two brats are awake, don't rush me."

"Okay." After making two bowls, Jiang Miao frowned when he turned around to see the rough man coming in, "My husband brought another stool."

Cheng Huai turned around and went outside to get a stool, and then sat down with Jiang Miao to drink porridge.

"Will the house be built in two days?" Jiang Miao looked at the rough man's face while drinking. It finally turned white in winter, but now it's dark again after working under the sun.

Cheng Huai turned his head to look at the one-story house outside, and responded in a low voice, "Well, it's almost ready."

"Would you like to invite someone over for dinner then?"

"No, I'll buy some meat to cook on the last day, and you can eat whatever you want." There is no charge, it's only two rooms.

Unlike the village chief's house, a big house was completely built.

After breakfast, Cheng Huai went to the house to remove the gauze for her. The cut on her neck had already scabbed, but it was not very conspicuous.

Jiang Miao went to get the medicine and asked him to roll up his sleeves.

The wound was still shocking, even after seeing it twice, Jiang Miao felt pain even just looking at it, so he could bear it.

She frowned, "Put on another dress, otherwise it's easy to tighten the wound."

"Okay." He replied in a low voice, seeing her go to get the clothes, he walked over and changed them honestly.

Rolling up her sleeves to the side of the gauze, she tiptoed to kiss his face when she met the man's serious and focused expression.

The man's deep eyes were dim.

He bent down and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her, and only let her go when she couldn't stand it anymore.

The man breathed heavily and lightly pressed her forehead, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to work."

"Hmm." Jiang Miao pursed her lower lip, feeling a little numb.

I knew I wouldn't tease him.

After sitting in the room for a while, the people working outside came. Jiang Miao went to the opposite room to call Big Treasure and Little Treasure to get up, and took them to wash and have breakfast.

Cheng Cai brought a basket of vegetables, "Sister-in-law, I went to the field to pick them in the morning."

"You don't need to bring food, you can come here if you want."

Li Yuncui is not easy to talk, if he knew, he might say more.

"Sister-in-law, the family won't force me anymore. I'll come and work for you when I finish my homework." Cheng Cai said gratefully.

If Jiang Miao hadn't persuaded her, she might have really married.

Thinking about it now, luckily someone persuaded her, otherwise she wouldn't know how she would live in the future.

I heard that Zhao Yang often went to Zuichunlou to drink with his cronies, and he didn't look like he had read a book.

Jiang Miao walked over to take care of the dishes, and said softly, "You don't need to come here specially, if you want to come to work, sister-in-law will pay you."

"Sister-in-law, I don't want wages." Cheng Cai said immediately, afraid that she would think that she was only here to earn wages.

While the two were talking, Li Dahu came in through the gate carrying water, and Cheng Cai walked over to help lift the wooden barrel.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng and his sister." Li Dahu said with a silly smile.

Cheng Cai shook her head in embarrassment, "Just call me Cheng Cai."

"Thank you, Sister Cheng Cai." Li Dahu walked back immediately carrying the water.

Cheng Cai blushed immediately, walked back to the low stool and sat down.

Jiang Miao looked at her jokingly, "Brother Duhu is about the same age as your brother, five years older than you."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Cheng Cai's eyes were startled, and she immediately lowered her head to take care of the dishes.

Jiang Miao didn't say any more, and took back her idea of ​​being a matchmaker.

After eating at noon, the workers went back, and they were not allowed to come in the afternoon, because the village head called to go to the mountain to pick peaches.

Before she knew it, she had been at Cheng's house for more than a year.

"Mom, pick peaches!"

"Grandma said to go together." The two cubs said with bright eyes.

Jiang Miao squeezed their cheeks and led them back to the house, "I'll go after taking a nap, I won't go if I don't sleep well."

"Dabao fell asleep just snoring!" Dabao pursed his lips.

Xiao Bao directly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang Miao couldn't help laughing. Seeing that they were asleep, she covered them with a thin quilt and came out.

When Cheng Huai came back after wiping his body, he saw Jiang Miao picking up his needlework, and walked over to help fold the fabric.

"Sir, let's go pick peaches on the mountain in the afternoon." Jiang Miao patted his sleeve and grabbed his big hand.

After entering the house and putting away his things, Cheng Huai took off his coat and lay down, saying in a low voice, "Change into bigger clothes this afternoon."

"Ok?"

"Bring peaches for my daughter-in-law." He chuckled softly, wrapped his arms around her waist, and gently covered her stomach with his big hands.

Knowing that he was thinking about picking peaches last year, Jiang Miao leaned into his arms, reached out and scratched his waist, and said depressedly: "Don't laugh."

What's so funny about packing extra peaches.
