farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 217

Hearing a rustling sound in the dimness, Zhang Xihua opened her eyes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

He Sheng put on the last outer garment, and saw that his wife had also woken up. He lowered his voice and said, "Why are you getting up? You should sleep a little longer." He thought he was careful enough, but he didn't think he would quarrel with his wife caught.

Since Zhang Xihua was pregnant, her sleep has been very shallow, and she can easily wake up when there is a little movement. She took advantage of the hazy moonlight and looked at the bronze mirror to give herself a sideburn. After hearing what her husband said, she softly replied: "I have to Let me arrange the food for you. There is a little food left from yesterday, and I will make a pot of porridge later, and you can go after eating."

"It's so troublesome, I just gnaw on a pancake." He Sheng raised his face, and then asked with concern: "Did that little guy in your belly bother you again last night?"

It's not even three months yet, and it's just so troublesome, and I don't know what to do in the future.He Sheng was always worried that Zhang Xihua would not sleep well, so he wanted to persuade his daughter-in-law to continue to sleep.

It is estimated that in half an hour, it will be dawn.Zhang Xihua shook her head and said, "No, I can't sleep because you're not here."

The two deliberately lowered their voices, so as not to disturb their son who was still sleeping soundly on the bed.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, He Sheng didn't force her anymore.He followed Zhang Xihua to the stove, saw that there were not many firewood left, so he immediately got up and went to the firewood to bring a handful of firewood.

Zhang Xihua has already started the fire neatly, set up a pot and mixed water into it, cooked a lot of vegetables and rice last night, and now there is a lot of food left.

He Sheng took a look and said, "Don't cook the porridge, heat up the leftover bone soup from last night, and I'll have a bowl of it."

Zhang Xihua couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her husband, and said angrily: "You are almost the father of two children, why do you still not care about your body like that? You are so careless when you are young, and you will definitely come to see me when you are old. .”

He Sheng opened his mouth, but didn't dare to speak back.

Now my daughter-in-law is a little different from before.If she did something that made her feel bad, she would almost catch up with her old mother in nagging.

In fact, He Sheng just didn't want to tire his wife.She had already had a hard time conceiving this child, and where she could make do, He Sheng didn't want her daughter-in-law to work any longer.

"I'm not tired of making this porridge. Just add some water to the leftovers from yesterday and turn on a few fires. It's nothing to be tired of. It's a long way to the town. You have to eat something to fill your stomach .” While Zhang Xihua was speaking, her hands and feet kept busy.

The fire on the stove is slowly rising, and the water in the pot will boil soon. You have to keep an eye on the porridge. Once the pot is opened, the gas inside will rush up when it boils, and the porridge will be spilled. But it would be a waste.

Food is not easy to come by, as the old saying of the common people goes well, 'If you waste food, you will be punished by God. 'Ordinary farmers, no one wants to waste food.

In addition, Zhang Xihua also washed a few eggs, boiled them together in a pot, and took them out when they were cooked. Apart from leaving one egg for Brother Yu to wake up to eat, the remaining two were prepared for her husband Eat when you are hungry on the road.

Drinking porridge makes you feel full, but not hungry.In this way, there are two eggs supporting him, and when he comes home at noon, he can still catch up with the meal time.

He Sheng moved a stool and sat on the side to help watch the fire, and stared at Zhang Xihua without saying a word. She circled around the stove. Dyed with a hint of red, the rosy white is very cute to look at at this time.

But she still talked a lot, talking about how to wait for her parents to wake up, and then talking about what to do when Brother Yu wakes up... Those fresh red lips opened and closed, involuntarily, He Sheng remembered that he tasted the delicate and beautiful lips. When the lips are about to drip, the lingering fragrance between every utterance.

He Sheng's throat slipped, and he suddenly said: "Xi Hua..."

"Huh?" Zhang Xihua turned her head in confusion.

He Sheng said with a straight face: "Cook, cook, don't talk so much."

Why all of a sudden so serious?Zhang Xihua was very confused, so she thought for a moment that her husband might think she was noisy, so she shut up resentfully.

Zhang Xihua was depressed, always feeling that since she was pregnant, her emotions were not in control, like now, she was a little troubled.Because the husband never expressed that he was tired of her talking.Just thinking of the slightest possibility of this made her unhappy.

Seeing her unhappy look, He Sheng hesitated for a while before saying, "I don't dislike you. It's just...just..."

Zhang Xihua opened her eyes wide and waited for his explanation.

He Sheng had the air of a strong man holding back his wrists, and said directly, "Don't you feel thirsty after talking so much?"

Zhang Xihua said: "I don't feel thirsty."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across He Shengqingjun's face, he touched his wrists uncomfortably, and when he caught a glimpse of the poker on the side, as if he had suddenly found something to do, he picked it up and put it in the stove, and then Stuffed two firewood into it.

With new firewood being filled in, the fire is flourishing again.

Zhang Xihua wondered: "Didn't I say that there is no need to put firewood?"

He Sheng was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Xihua snorted, laughed, and jokingly said: "If you feel uncomfortable staying here, just go away, and I didn't ask you to accompany me."

He Sheng: "..."

However, as the two of them sang and sang, the lingering worry in He Sheng's heart since he got up finally dissipated. Anyway, if there is any news about his younger brother during this trip, life at home still has to go on.After thinking about it, He Sheng didn't worry so much anymore.

He Sheng smiled and said, "Where do you want me to go now? It's still dark outside. I can't go anywhere."

Zhang Xihua pursed her lips and smiled, "Then I will wrong you to stay with me."

He Sheng scratched his head uncomfortably, thinking where did the grievance come from, his wife must be making fun of him again.

There are two stoves in the house, which are very convenient to use. The porridge is cooked here, and a few leftovers have been heated up there.

"It's ready to eat." Zhang Xihua filled a bowl of porridge and put the leftovers in the pot on a plate. The fire was lit in the stove. It was so stuffy and hot that people couldn't stay here. He Sheng had already set fire at the door A small table.

He Sheng said, "Let me serve it."

Zhang Xihua asked her husband to serve the food, and she sorted out a bamboo basket by herself, picked up a few pickled vegetables from the vegetable jar, wrapped them and put them in the basket, seeing that there was nothing to clean up, Zhang Xihua told : "When you arrive in town, remember to make a jug of good wine. It's embarrassing to go to someone's house with empty hands."
