The kang (heated brick bed) for left-behind women

When Li Meili heard that it was true, her eyes lit up.

He kept drifting over Lin Dachun, trying to see and understand something clearly.

"Uncle Dachun, I'm tired from carrying firewood. Can you let me lean on you and rest for a bit?" Li Meili said, leaning into Lin Dachun's arms.

"what?"

Lin Dachun didn't even have time to react.

Li Meili was already right next to him.

"Why is it that a beautiful girl like me like this married to a husband who isn't very capable?" Li Meili said deliberately.

"Every man is different. I'm stronger, but not so smart. Your husband is less strong, but he's smarter," Lin Dachun explained.

"Useless my foot. It's the most useless thing ever," Li Meili said.

Lin Dachun felt very embarrassed.

"I think you're very manly, aren't you?" Li Meili turned her head and asked Lin Dachun.

"No. I'm already this old."

"But that's not what the villagers say."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Come on, let's go down the mountain."

Lin Dachun gave an awkward laugh.

"Uncle Dachun!" Li Meili's eyes lit up when she saw him, with a touch of deliberate fragility. "Are you coming down the mountain? This firewood is so heavy, I can barely carry it..."

"Give it to me."

Lin Dachun paused for a moment.

Li Meili's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she hurriedly handed over the firewood, her fingers "accidentally" brushing against Lin Dachun's hand.

Lin Dachun took the firewood and easily hoisted it onto his shoulder. It was quite heavy, but it was nothing to him.

"Thank you, Uncle Dachun! You're really strong!" Li Meili said sweetly, standing very close to him.

The mountain path was narrow, and Li Meili practically walked right next to him.

As she walked, she suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and slipped, falling towards Lin Dachun. Her arms naturally reached out to wrap around his, and her full breasts were about to brush against his arm.

In that split second, Lin Dachun, carrying firewood on his shoulder, moved with unusual agility.

Instead of reaching out to help, he suddenly took a large step to the side, creating distance, and shouted in a deep voice, "Watch where you're going! Don't fall! This is the Loess Plateau, there's a cliff below, can't you see?"

Li Meili missed her target, stumbled a bit before regaining her balance, and her smile faltered, tinged with grievance: "The road was too slippery... Uncle Dachun, you didn't even help me up."

Lin Dachun had already walked back to the middle of the mountain path, maintaining a clear distance from her.

"If you can't help him, carry the firewood." His voice was dry and emotionless. "Take care of yourself."

"Pah! What a hypocrite!" Li Meili cursed.

Lin Dachun paused, turned around, glanced at Li Meili, and laughed, "You called me a hypocrite, be careful I'll bully you to death!"

"Come on, come on, I'm not afraid of you at all. I want to try it out. Whether the rumors are true or not, just hearing about them is useless. You have to try them to know if they're true or not," Li Meili said with a mischievous grin.

Lin Dachun looked at her, this time looking at her very seriously.

"You, don't go astray. If people find out about this kind of thing, you'll be burned alive. Don't think you're getting away with it," Lin Dachun admonished.

"Hmph. It's not that exaggerated. Are all the people in Linjiatun old-fashioned?" Li Meili snorted and followed them down the mountain in disappointment.

I didn't get any advantage on this trip.

Lin Dachun shook his head, relieved. He wouldn't risk his life like that.
