70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

Liu Yue'e's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Alright, then come and take a look."

Zhou Qingwen raised his voice slightly and opened the door halfway, "Honey, I'm going to check on Dad. You go to sleep first."

Yu Yalan said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Okay."

Yu Yalan understood that Zhou Qingwen had told her to get up and close the door, and to bolt it.

Although no one from her own family would mistakenly enter the wrong door, she was completely naked and had to get down and bolt the door shut.

Better safe than sorry, so Yu Yalan always had to lock the door when Zhou Qingwen wasn't in the room.

Moreover, she needs to protect herself.

Zhou Qingwen and Liu Yue'e returned to the main house together. After entering, Zhou Qingwen asked, "Dad, which shoulder hurts?"

Zhou Fei frowned. "My left shoulder hurts."

"Let me rub it for me and apply some medicated wine."

"Okay, sure." Zhou Qingwen took the medicinal wine from Liu Yue'e and uncorked it.

A "thump" sound was heard, and a strong smell of medicinal wine wafted out.

Zhou Qingwen poured some out into his palm and rubbed it onto Zhou Feitian's shoulder.

Zhou Qingwen massaged Zhou Feitian's shoulders repeatedly, several times in total.

Finally, after massaging his shoulders until they were warm, he said, "Okay, try sleeping on it for one night, and see how it goes tomorrow."

"Good job, kid. You really know how to control your strength. My shoulder feels much better now."

"Okay, I'm going back to my room then."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhou Feitian tried moving his left shoulder and said, "It doesn't hurt as much now."

Liu Yue'e said excitedly, "That's good, go to sleep now."

When Zhou Qingwen came out, he smelled his palm. The medicinal wine smelled too strong, so he went to the well, drew a small bucket of water, and washed his hands with soap.

Just then, Ye Meilan got up to use the restroom, and the two of them came out and their eyes met!

"Third Brother, why aren't you asleep?"

"I...I'm applying medicated wine to my dad's skin."

Zhou Qingwen immediately looked away.

Ye Meilan was wearing very little clothing, so she shyly went back into the house, grabbed a piece of clothing to put on, and then went to the toilet.

Zhou Qingwen also felt the urge to urinate, but he was too embarrassed to go over there.

The men's and women's restrooms are separated by only one wall. If he goes over there, Ye Meilan might misunderstand.

Sure enough, after Ye Meilan left, he went to the toilet and then came back into the house: "Wife, I'm back, open the door."

Zhou Qingwen called out softly from the doorway of his east wing.

Yu Yalan said cautiously, "Come here so I can take a look?"

Zhou Qingwen indeed showed his face at the window: "Wife."

"Okay, I'll open the door."

Yu Yalan exclaimed happily, "Squeak!"

The door opened, and Zhou Qingwen entered, gently closing the door and bolting it shut.

"Go to sleep."

"What's wrong with Dad?"

"His shoulder hurts."

"Oh, maybe you're just tired from working today."

"Yeah, it's normal for people who do farm work to twist their shoulders or backs. Go to sleep."

"Yes, I can't sleep for a while. I'm so grateful to you. You brought a big bowl of rabbit meat to my mom and the others today. I'm so happy."

"Honey, if you're still feeling well, shall we do it again?"

"Get lost! People are about to go on strike; their backs are aching and numb."

"Hehe~ Come here, let me hold you while we sleep."

"OK."

Yu Yalan gently pressed her small body against him. The couple were close together in the thatched house. Although it was a bit hot outside, the thatched house was relatively cool inside.

Zhou Qingwen swallowed hard; the woman in his arms was making his heart itch.

He gently kissed Yu Yalan's lips.

Yu Yalan said helplessly, "Can't you sleep?"

"Honey, I miss you so much~"

"Bad guy!"

"Turn around, I'll make you lie down."

"Bad guy!"

The night was long, and Zhou Qingwen exhausted Yu Yalan so much that she collapsed.

Zhou Qingwen, this is the kind of good life a married person should have.

If I miss my wife, I can just turn around and come over.

Zhou Qingwen got up early in the morning to make breakfast: lean meat porridge, steamed bean buns, and stir-fried vegetables.

When the family was having breakfast, everyone looked at the abundant breakfast on the table.

She smiled to herself, knowing that Yu Yalan must have been exhausted yesterday, as Zhou Qingwen and Liu Yue'e had gotten up to make breakfast this morning.

The eldest sister-in-law felt a slight tightness in her chest. If she got pregnant, she wondered if she could stay at home like her second brother's wife.

Zhang Huayu, the eldest sister-in-law, tensed up and secretly glanced at Zhou Qinghe.

Her husband is a very capable worker, so why hasn't she gotten pregnant yet?

It's too difficult for Zhou Jinfeng, who only has one son.

I haven't been able to get pregnant for many years.

Zhou Qinghe held the lean meat porridge and slurped it up, looking like he was really enjoying it.

Zhang Huayu's eyes had a slightly melancholic look, as if to say, "Eat more now so you can work better tonight!"

Zhou Qingwen glanced at it accidentally.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

My brother and sister-in-law only have one son, and they're getting anxious.

Now, my second sister-in-law is pregnant, and her belly is noticeably bigger.

Zhou Qingwen and Yu Yalan are newlyweds, so they are not in a hurry.

But Zhou Qinghe was worried, because they only had one son, Zhou Jinfeng, and she couldn't conceive again.

Liu Yue'e peeled an egg and put it in Zhou Feitian's bowl: "Brother Tian, ​​eat well. I wish I could have another daughter."

Zhou Feitian immediately became alarmed: "Cough! Cough! What are you saying? There are so many children here!"

Liu Yue'e asked gently, "What are you afraid of?"

"Stop talking!"

Zhou Feitian's neck turned bright red, and soon his face also turned red.

The daughters-in-law lowered their heads in embarrassment to drink their porridge.

Liu Yue'e also secretly glanced at Zhou Feitian, picked up some vegetables and ate them by herself.

Zhou Qingwen was incredibly excited. That's how it is these days. Parents' children might only be one year old, and his son and daughter-in-law's child is also only one year old. It would be so much fun if they started fighting!

Zhou Qingwen couldn't help but laugh, his shoulders shaking.

Zhou Feitian glanced at Liu Yue'e with a resentful look and said, "Hurry up and eat, we'll be going to work soon."

Liu Yue'e said awkwardly, "Oh, okay."

The whole family ate with their heads down; in those days, such things were extremely attractive.

Even for middle-aged people like Zhou Feitian and Liu Yue'e, who are in their prime, many of them will have children.

So, it's not surprising.

After Zhou Qingwen came out, he took a bamboo pole and pulled some of the thread from Yu Yalan's embroidery. Then he bent a silver embroidery needle into the shape of a fishhook.

I went to the vegetable garden again and dug around and found a dozen or so earthworms. They were moving around like that, and at first glance, it was kind of creepy!

However, this is exactly what fish like best.

Zhou Qingwen took a small bucket and a simple fishing rod and headed to the riverbank.

This time, we didn't go to the place where we washed clothes, but to the still waters at the bend of the stream.

It's also the place with the most fish.

Zhou Qingwen sat down on the riverbank and didn't move for half an hour.

I pulled up the fishing rod and looked, but nothing was there.

One more!
