13 - Forgot to take drugsXiao Yiming didn"t know where to put his big hands, but his eyes were still fixated on her body. He didn"t think that his wife would be so thin, but there should be some that were able to move.
"Where are you looking?" Hurry up and get out of here. " Luo Manman stomped her feet in anger. No, it should be stomping the water, because she was still in the bathtub, using her hands to cover her chest.
"I-I"m sorry, daughter-in-law, I"m going out right now." Xiao Yiming was so embarra.s.sed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in, but when he thought about it again, what right did his wife have to not see?Big Hand pushed open the door. Huh? Why couldn"t he open the door? Clang! Clang! Clang! After opening it a few times, he discovered that the door was locked by a metal chain.
At this time, Xiao Niang"s voice rang out, "You should also know, don"t waste your energy. Mother has already locked the door. About that, Mother will unlock it tomorrow morning. You all should get married at that time. "
Xiao Niang was extremely happy, he almost laughed out loud while covering his mouth.
This foolish brat wanted this mother to personally act. Aiyo, she was really happy. Tonight"s actions were too wise. She was just waiting for this mother to carry her grandson.
Xiao Niang hummed an old melody as he went back to his room to sleep in a good mood, leaving behind the two people who were looking at each other.
The moment Xiao Yiming went to open the door, Luo Manman had already grabbed the clothes on the floor and wore them randomly. Although they were crooked, at least they had covered her entire body, no?
"That, my wife, mother locked the door." Xiao Yiming started to stutter. A wise son should not be like a mother, could it be that even mother knew his thoughts and wanted to help him?
He wanted to, but when he saw his wife"s resistance, he knew it was just a thought."Wife, me?" Xiao Yiming did not speak. Seeing Luo Manman"s pair of eyes that were as delicate as a frightened deer, he seemed to be saying, Huntress, please forgive me.
Her unremarkable face grew brighter as she stared at Xiao Yiming nervously. Her body was trembling with nervousness.
Is my daughter-in-law so afraid of me? He doesn"t eat people? At this moment, the firework in his stomach, which was originally full of flames, was extinguished in a moment. He went over to the hole in front of the bed and tidied it up, then looked at Luo Manman who was still standing upright and unmoving."My wife, why aren"t you sleeping?" Xiao Yiming asked despite knowing the answer.
Still not sleeping? Do we sleep together? Luo Manman"s face instantly flushed red. Right now the room"s door was already locked by Xiao Niang, he couldn"t possibly let Xiao Yiming sleep on the floor, but if he slept in kang, what should he do? Inwardly, he was extremely conflicted.
Xiao Yiming had already lifted a corner of the blanket and laid down.After a while, when Luo Manman did not come over, Xiao Yiming could not help but break the silence: "My wife, why are you not coming over yet? Aren"t you sleepy? Or do you just want to stand there all night? "
"Me, me?" He had been tired all day from going to the market in the town, and now, Luo Manman was so sleepy that her eyelids were twitching, to the point that she almost yawned. But with a wolf here, how could she dare to sleep?
Seeing that Luo Manman still did not move, Xiao Yiming suddenly jumped up from kang like a gale wind, then picked up Luo Manman"s frail body, and threw her towards kang, covering her entire body.
"Ah …" What are you doing? " Luo Manman was so nervous that her heart almost jumped to her throat. If he dared to mess around, she would definitely bite him.
Looking at her nervously blinking eyelashes, Xiao Yiming felt annoyed and amused at the same time. Would he really eat humans? His wife was so afraid of him?
He lay on her body for a long time and didn"t make the next move. After a long while, he finally said, "My wife, it"s getting late, go to sleep. Don"t worry, as long as you don"t want to, I won"t do anything rash."Xiao Yiming got down from the bed and slept outside the hole. He then started to remove his outer garments, and then blew the oil lamp out of the brick bed with his bare arms. Then, he got back on the brick bed.
In the darkness, Luo Manman was so nervous that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. Only when she heard the sound of regular breathing did she heave a sigh of relief.
Was she overthinking it, or was Xiao Yiming a man of honor? Lying beside her was a warm body, and she was unable to fall asleep no matter how she tossed and turned.
He opened his eyes and looked at the dark roof, only falling asleep after he was too sleepy for the second half of the night. The result of staying up all night was that he wouldn"t be able to get up the next day.
The first time the rooster crowed, Xiao Yiming woke up. It was already dark outside, which was equivalent to half past five in the morning. He gently lifted the blanket, afraid that he would wake her up.
Carefully putting on her clothes, she looked at Luo Manman who was sleeping soundly and felt her heart warm up. Her daughter-in-law seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, and she seemed to be very trusting of him.This was for the best. He knew that his wife would definitely have him in her heart. However, this sort of thing needed to be done step by step and not be rushed for a moment.
It had already been ten days since Luo Manman woke up, and the sun was already high in the sky. The roosters in the courtyard had shouted for more than ten times, and only then did she stand up.
Subconsciously, he looked over to the edge of the pit, where Xiao Yiming was no longer there.
"It"s over, I"ve slept for so long, will Xiao Niang say that?" Luo Manman hurriedly put on his clothes, combed his hair, and left the room.
After he went to the kitchen to wash up, he discovered that the pot on the stove was still steaming. It seemed that he still had breakfast. He had just touched the handle of the lid when he heard light footsteps behind him.
Luo Manman"s hand stopped, she turned to look, only to see Xiao Niang looking at him with a caring face, looking at her from head to toe.
Her eyes were full of love, "Manman, you"re up. Why don"t you sleep a little more? Auntie just heated up your breakfast. It"s about time for you to eat. ""Oh, I know, thank you Auntie." Luo Manman did not dare to look straight into his eyes, and nodded.
The Xiao Niang laughed happily: "Manman, there is no need to be so polite between us daughter-in-law. Oh right, you were the one who left my new clothes last night, right?
I heard from Yi Yeyu that you sold groceries and made a profit.After earning money, you and your wife can save it up. It"s not easy to earn money, but you"ll have to save on spending it. Where"s your mother? There are also a lot of old clothes, so don"t let me waste them on you. "
"Auntie, don"t say it like that, didn"t we earn money just to show you our filial piety? Right, that set of clothes, do you like it?" Luo Manman did not expect that a small action like this would make her so happy.
"I like it, Manman"s eyes are good, I like it. It"s rare for you to be so filial and obedient. If you can add a man and a woman to the Xiao family as soon as possible, I would like to thank you on behalf of the ancestors of the Xiao family."
Xiao Niang"s words were very serious. She only had Xiao Yiming as her son now, so she was a little anxious in this regard.Wasn"t this supposed to be talking about clothes? Now that they had gone back to the topic at hand, Luo Manman coughed dryly and said with a stiff smile, "Aunt, I, I, I am already sleeping with you, am I not? If you want to carry this grandson, I can understand. Aren"t you just going with the flow? "
"Ai, with these words of yours, auntie is relieved. Quickly eat breakfast, Auntie will go to the stream to wash up."
Xiao Niang was not good with words, she only had a smile on her face, then she packed the clothes at home and went over to the stream.
The Nanshan Village was surrounded by mountains and surrounded by streams. Upstream was the village"s usual drinking water, and it was also where the villagers usually washed their clothes.
Needless to say, ever since Luo Manman had arrived at the Xiao family, the number of times Xiao Niang had washed clothes was decreasing.
When he brought the wooden basin to the stream, there were already some women and girls chatting and laughing with each other by the stream. When they saw Xiao Niang this time, they greeted him with familiarity.
"Oh, why did Xiao Niang come here personally to wash clothes today? What about your daughter-in-law? " Aunt Liang asked with a smile."It can"t be that your daughter-in-law doesn"t want to wash clothes. She has only been at the Xiao family for a few days, right?" For Granny to wash the clothes herself, this is too outrageous! "
Liu Yao was somewhat displeased with the Xiao family secretly buying a wife. When they spoke with the people they had met, they spoke in a sour tone and interjected, giving off a feeling of being present.
Xiao Niang smiled but did not say anything. He found a spot to squat and used a wooden basin to scoop up some water from the stream, adding some soap points. Then, he soaked the clothes that had been poured onto the ground one by one into the water and rubbed them.
Liu Yao started to whisper to the people at the side, "Hey, Xiao Niang, why aren"t you saying anything, your wife isn"t helping you wash your clothes, you"re even more cheerful now, I"m telling you, this wife must be taught, otherwise in the future she will climb onto your head."
Xiao Niang picked up a piece of clothes and washed it on the stone board. Wasn"t the clothes in her hands bought by Luo Manman?
The st.i.tches were so tight that they didn"t feel rough at all, and the style was also very generous. It was much more exotic than what the other women in the village wore, and the clothes she usually wore were only 20 to 30 gold coins. This one was probably worth at least 50 gold coins."I say, Liu Yao, stop making wild guesses. Is my Xiao family"s daughter-in-law filial to you? "You see, this is the dress my daughter-in-law bought for me when she went to town yesterday?" Xiao Niang happily ripped off his wet clothes.
The women in the village usually knocked their teeth when they had nothing better to do. At her age, they loved to compete. Compared to their son, they were more filial and their daughter-in-law was more obedient.
"Xiao Niang, the style of your clothes is not bad, I don"t think they are cheap. The one I bought last time was not as pretty as yours, it was worth sixty gold." w.a.n.g Daogu"s wife, Aunt w.a.n.g came over and said.
She already had a good impression of Luo Manman, so she couldn"t help but say some good words to him.
"Is that so? Didn"t your Xiao family run out of money? I heard that you spent all of your savings to buy a wife. ""Hey, don"t say it. I saw Yiming and his wife when we went to the town fair yesterday.
Man, yesterday morning, I saw Yi Ming"s flatbed cart pulling two baskets of stuff. When I came back in the afternoon, it was empty.All the items have been sold, if you don"t earn money, you will not forget to be filial to your mother. Xiao Niang, your son is filial to you, you are lucky. "
The one who said this was the village"s Auntie He. Her two sons were not filial at all, and her two daughter-in-law often gave her looks. The envy in her eyes was real, not mixed at all.
