Chapter 182 Take a nap
It was already dusk when the two returned home.
"Brother Xu, why are you back so late?" Rong Xiaoliu was still helping with the work. When he saw Xu Wenyan coming back, he ran over.
Zhou Jianye also wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your two little brothers are waiting for you to come back to cook, saying that my cooking is not delicious."
"Haha, you still dare to dislike your Uncle Jianye." Xu Wenyan took Rong Xiaoliu beside him and walked towards home.
The foundation of the house wall has been laid, and the seven main beams have been fixed. Now all that's left is the loess bricks. The outline of the house inside has been dug out, but we'll have to take it slow.
"Brother Xu, what's in your bag?" Xiaohu picked up the small cloth bag that Xu Wenyan placed on the table, which had a beautiful auspicious cloud pattern on it.
“There are bugs in it.”
Fortunately, the children at home were obedient. Xiaohu just took a look and didn't open it. Who knows what was inside and he might be scared.
Since we had eaten insect feasts several times before, it was not surprising to everyone in the family.
When Xiaohu finished his meal and was about to go home, he saw a middle-aged man outside the yard.
"Who are you looking for?"
Seeing him acting so sneaky and pacing in the yard, Xiaohu thought he might have bad intentions.
"Oh, sorry, is Captain Xu's home here?"
Xiaohu was still wondering what captain this was, then he remembered that Xu Wenyan had been helping Wang Zeren and his group of soldiers these days: "Oh, it's inside, I'll call for you."
"Thank you, thank you." It was obvious that this man had some social anxiety, and he was obviously relieved when Xiaohu offered to help him shout.
Xu Wenyan came out upon hearing the voice and recognized at a glance that this was the father of the girl named Yuanyuan this afternoon.
"Are you here for that shack?"
"No...yes." The middle-aged man first waved his hand and then nodded, leaving Xu Wenyan and Xiaohu stunned.
The middle-aged man took out two sachets and said, "Captain Xu, my name is Zeng Guoqin. Can I exchange these two sachets for the cloth bag my daughter gave you today?"
"Yeah." Xu Wenyan walked into the room and handed the small cloth bag intact to Zeng Guoqin.
He handed the sachet in his hand over, feeling that the things in the cloth bag were still there: "Captain Xu, the ground dog inside..."
"It's a gift from me to the two children. They are both very brave, but they are still young after all. It's better to let them go out alone less often during this period."
Zeng Guoqin nodded repeatedly and discussed with Xu Wenyan about helping him with the work.
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Wenyan learned that Zeng Guoqin had also passed the imperial examination before.
I run a small business in the city and my family is relatively well-off. I have been spending a lot of money to get by until now.
There have been many setbacks along the way.
"It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore." Zeng Guoqin bowed again before saying goodbye and leaving.
Xu Wenyan looked at the two sachets in his hand. The quality of these hand-sewn ones was very good, and the patterns were also beautiful. The sachets were made of red cloth with patterns embroidered with gold thread, which looked very unique.
"Who is looking for you?" Chen Sanlin asked while sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"The father of the brother and sister wanted to help us work this afternoon and get that shack." Xu Wenyan packed up and took off his clothes. He had been walking all day and his body was sticky and uncomfortable.
Chen Sanlin pinched Xu Wenyan's arm, poked her belly, and said with a gentle smile, "You've gained a lot of weight, so it's comfortable to hug you."
This feeling made Chen Sanlin feel accomplished. He raised his wife step by step, and he felt happy and excited.
Xu Wenyan also pinched his body. Although his body was not as good as in his previous life, it was not all skeleton anymore. He had flesh where it should be, but overall he still looked a little thin.
After all, the illness that has lasted for more than ten years cannot be cured overnight.
"Brother Chen, what should I do if I eat a lot and become a big fat man?" Xu Wenyan leaned on Chen Sanlin's arms. This big meat pad and heater was so useful.
Chen Sanlin hugged the person in his arms tighter: "No way, can you become a fat man by eating like this?"
"Why not? What if?"
"It's okay to be fat, but it's better to be a little fatter."
Chen Sanlin started to act dishonestly while they were still chatting: "Wife, have I been behaving well these past few days?"
This guy seemed to have found Xu Wenyan's weak spot and knew where to touch to make Xu Wenyan's body go limp.
"Hmm? How do you say that?"
Chen Sanlin kissed the corner of Xu Wenyan's mouth lightly, put his mouth close to his ear and whispered softly: "I'm not jealous anymore. Didn't you say that you should be confident?"
"Haha, you mean this."
Stroking Chen Sanlin's hair and curling it with his fingers, he said, "Indeed, but the kind of confidence I'm talking about is natural, not forced. Just take it slow and don't let yourself get hurt."
After listening, Chen Sanlin drooped his head on Xu Wenyan's shoulder: "I'm feeling...suffocated right now."
The ambiguous atmosphere in the air became stronger and stronger.
The two of them have been very busy this month. Sometimes they were so tired that they just lay down on the bed and fell asleep at night. They even talked less than before.
Under such long-term repression, it took a long time to finish at night.
After the sunset, the sky is full of stars.
The spring breeze blew through the treetops and the crescent moon hung high in the sky.
