The three kids outside were probably playing in the mud again.

The two people in the kitchen took it for granted, finished cooking, cooled down the heat, and returned to the main room.

In the room, three children were standing for punishment. Jiang Si also looked guilty. He probably had never been punished by Yu Ying before, so he was scared.

Jiang Miao looked at the three children pretending to be serious and said, "Stand still."

Cheng Huai said nothing with a sullen face, and went to the kitchen to fetch warm water.

Yu Ying held a small piece of wood in her left hand, put her right hand on her waist, and cursed angrily: "Wash it well for me. If you don't wash it thoroughly, I will be hungry today."

"It's finally raining a little bit outside, but you guys just have itchy hands and buttocks, so you won't have much meat if you don't play in the mud, right?"

"Nai, don't be angry, Dabao just can't hold it back." Dabao obediently squatted and washed his hands.

Seeing that they had not been washed thoroughly, Cheng Huai grabbed his hand and rubbed it twice, causing the two children to cry out.

"Auntie, I was wrong." Jiang Si washed his hands and stood up, looking towards Jiang Miao.

Xiaobao nodded, "Nai, I won't play anymore."

"You know how to be naughty." Yu Ying glanced at them, "After washing, I will move the stool to eat by myself. I won't wait on you."

Jiang Miao packed the rice for them and handed it over, "Continue to stand after eating."

A few people were as quiet as chickens and sat quietly.

Seeing Jiang Miao keep looking towards them, Cheng Huai scooped fish soup for her and said in a deep voice: "Daughter-in-law, have a good meal."

Jiang Miao withdrew her gaze and fell on his wet sleeves. She stretched out her hands to curl them up and straightened his collar. "Eat more meat. Our family is not short of money now. Don't be reluctant to eat it."

"There is no reluctance."

"It's all on me." Jiang Miao gave him the fish meat with an angry look.

The man's slightly rough face looked more innocent and embarrassed. He didn't say anything and just kept eating.

After dinner in the morning, Yu Ying stared at the three brats facing the wall, waiting for them to feel sleepy before reluctantly letting them sleep in the room.

Cheng Huai led Jiang Miao to eat in the house, his big hands gently supporting her lower back to prevent her from getting tired from walking.

Yu Ying went to the back to feed the chickens and ducks, then came to the front muttering, "These sheep don't want to eat anymore."

"Mom, is it sick?" Jiang Miao looked over and asked.

Yu Ying waved her hand, "I guess it's in heat, so I need to find another sheep to keep walking back and forth in the hut."

"There don't seem to be any sheep around here."

"I'll go ask you this afternoon. It's okay if you don't eat." Yu Ying muttered, "If you're hungry and thin, it will be in vain."

Cheng Huai went to the hut to take a look, and soon came back, saying in a low voice: "I'll go find the ram later."

"There should be some on the street. Sir, I'll wait and ask."

Just lend me a ram and give me some money.

"Well, let's rest first. My wife gets up early in the morning." He helped her into the house, sat on the bed with her in his arms, and bent down to take off the embroidered shoes.

Jiang Miao took off her coat, pulled up the quilt, and pulled her rough guy up. She smiled and said with crooked eyes, "You're still talking about me. When did your husband get up last night?"

The man's arms wrapped around her waist forcefully and he lay down. He rubbed his chin against her cheek and said with a deep smile, "We can't let the water flood our house. What should I do if my wife cries?"

"I won't cry." She hugged the rough man's thick waist and stretched out her legs.

Clamping her feet, he placed his big hands on the back of her waist and rubbed her gently. A smile appeared in Cheng Huai's eyes, "Wife, go to sleep."

"The baby is making a fuss. She will go to sleep later."

She could feel the strength through her clothes. Jiang Miao frowned. The little guy was stronger now.

It hurts a bit to kick someone.

Cheng Huai reached out and touched him gently, "Daughter-in-law, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" "It's useless even if I touch him." The woman's brows relaxed a little, and she pressed his big hand, "Are you being cruel to him?"

Lowering his head and kissing her forehead, the man said with a hint of resentment, "I dare to be cruel to him, but my wife will be cruel to me later."

Jiang Miao couldn't help but curl her eyes. The baby in her belly stopped, and she felt sleepy instantly.

Seeing that the woman fell asleep immediately, Cheng Huai hugged her tighter, put his arms around her body, and whispered in a low voice: "Dear wife, thank you for your hard work."

In the afternoon, Cheng Huai went to a mutton seller in the town and paid twenty coins before borrowing the family's ram.

The rain outside was getting lighter, so Yu Ying drove the chickens and ducks out. There were fences around, but she was not afraid of them running away to other homes.

The three children were full of curiosity and poked their heads into the thatched house, pulling Jiang Miao with them.

"Mom, does this sheep belong to us too?"

"No, your father borrowed it and will return it tomorrow."

"Then why did you borrow it?" Dabao asked seriously.

Jiang Miao was silent for a moment, shook her head, "Ask your father."

Cheng Huai: "."

After carrying the three little ones to the main room, Cheng Huai came over and took Jiang Miao away, "Daughter-in-law, don't watch anymore."

"Ms. sir, if there are lambs in the future, the hut won't be able to accommodate them."

It was originally a temporary structure, just big enough for poultry. If one or two more sheep were added, it might not be enough in the future.

"We'll think about it after giving birth." Helping her sit up, the man moved the brazier to his feet, held her hand and put it on it to bake.

Jiang Miao shrank her neck. It wasn't cold outside, but when she came in and felt the warmth, she trembled.

Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip, stretched his arms around her shoulders, and wrapped the scarf around her.

"I want to go to the inn tomorrow to check out the business." The woman looked over with bright and clean eyes, "If you shout low prices, someone will probably make trouble."

There are only a few big inns in the town, but there are many small rest houses, so it is inevitable that you will be hated by others.

Cheng Huai looked at the sky outside, raised his hand and touched her forehead, "It will rain heavily tomorrow, I'll just go."

"Well, give Wan Qilin a warning, my husband should also be careful."

"it is good."

The sheep behind occasionally bleated, and Jiang Miao and Yu Ying went to get some cloth to sew.

Cheng Huai sat on the edge and made a small wooden bed. After a while, he would put some charcoal in the brazier. After sitting for a long time, he would lead Jiang Miao for a walk around the house.

There was some fish soup left at noon, and some green vegetables were fried, and the family ate it happily.

After washing up in the evening, Yu Ying took Jiang Si to measure the clothes. She made two pieces of clothes for him in the past few days. The others were taken from Cheng Huai's old clothes first.

Jiang Si is small, so his trousers and sleeves must be tied up, otherwise they will all be dragged to the ground.

"Eat more food, there isn't much meat on this back." Yu Ying patted his shoulder and muttered slowly.

Jiang Si stood obediently, digging his fingers together and looking at Jiang Miao uncomfortably.

Jiang Miao raised her hand and touched his head, "Don't worry."

Yu Ying pinched his face with a smile, "Go and play with Dabao and Xiaobao. Auntie will make you clothes."

"Thank you, aunt." Jiang Si immediately turned around and ran to find Dabao and Xiaobao.

Cheng Huai threw some vegetable leaves into the thatched house, walked over and touched Jiang Miao's hand.

After brushing off the dust from his sleeves, Jiang Miao reached out and rubbed the rough man's face, her eyebrows curved and she said, "It's not cold, it's warm." (End of Chapter)
