Chapter 207 Settlement of Accounts
Chapter 207 Settlement of Accounts
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, whether it was killing a rooster or going to the market, these two things had nothing to do with Yiyi and Bailu, and it should be said that it was not their turn to worry about them. Because of the drunkenness yesterday, Yiyi's family slept in the original small courtyard of the old house. A pregnant woman could not take care of three men's washing and brushing. Fortunately, An Yi helped to share some of the work, that is, to wash their faces with warm water, and then wipe their hands and feet. Even so, Yiyi's family still got up late the next day. The men got up late because they were drunk, and Yiyi got up late because she took care of the noisy men and was pregnant.
Ling Wuxin was still sleeping. Yiyi put on her clothes with trembling hands and feet. She rubbed her hands and breathed out as she went to the yard to wash up first. It was such a cold day, and if she hadn't felt hungry, she wouldn't have wanted to get up.
"Someone, bring me some hot water!" Yiyi shouted outside the courtyard gate. This shout was first answered by An Yi, and then the three men in her family rushed out of the door in wrinkled clothes, putting on clothes all the way and asking what was wrong.
"Hey, go back to your room and get dressed before you come out!" Yiyi turned around and saw three men in thin undergarments and hastily put on long robes. They were in such a hurry that they didn't even put on their pants, revealing their hairy calves. They came out in slippers. The three men were of the same character. Yiyi knew who to scold first, so she had to drive them all away.
"Be good, wait for me!" Ling Wuxin said this and ran back. The weather was indeed too cold. Most importantly, he would not look good after just waking up from a hangover. He better pack up before going out to see her.
"Master, the hot water is here!" An Yi carried a bucket of hot water to the side of the sink, and considerately poured some into the wooden basin for convenient washing.
"Thank you! An Yi, bring some water for my husband, they are awake too!" Yi Yi used a soft towel to absorb the water and wipe her face. She thanked An Yi politely. It is better to keep a polite distance when it is destined to be impossible! This is Yi Yi's principle.
After a while, Ling Wuxin, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba appeared in the yard dressed neatly. The three of them stood in a row and began to wash up. Yi Yi stood aside and watched the three of them brush their teeth, wash their faces and twist their towels in the same way. To be honest, it was quite pleasing to the eyes! I don't know when it started, but Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba, who had always stood behind Ling Wuxin as guards, slowly changed. Now they all stood together naturally, and the guards were all replaced by secret guards.
It’s noon and it’s time for the family to have breakfast. Fortunately, they are in the old house, so they don’t have to spend time cooking and have a ready-made breakfast!
"Husband, there's a big market today, do you plan to go out shopping?" Yiyi was eating the meat buns with a strong wheat aroma, and after eating with satisfaction, she also asked about the plans for today.
"I'm not going out. I drank too much yesterday. Today I'm going to stay at home and rest with my wife!" Ling Wuxin answered after finishing a bowl of soy milk.
"Let's not go out. Let's go back to the Hot Spring Valley to take a bath and do some laundry. I think although it's cold today, the sunshine is pretty good." Xiao Qi replied, and Xiao Ba nodded.
"Okay, I didn't take a shower either, so I don't feel well!" Yiyi finished another meat bun and only then did she feel full.
"Okay, then let's go back to the Hot Spring Valley to rest and tidy up our little home. Honey, do you need to take a pulse before you go back?" Ling Wuxin made the decision, and the others naturally nodded in agreement.
"I just went there with my second sister yesterday. I feel good now. I don't need to go every day!" Yiyi said helplessly.
"Okay, let's go another day. Let's go back to the Hot Spring Valley. Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, go to the kitchen and pack some snacks and take a lunch box home, so that Yiyi won't get hungry." After Ling Wuxin gave instructions to Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, he took Yiyi's hand and left first.
"I'm a little full, let's take a walk on the way back to digest the food!" Yiyi said in advance. She was afraid that the man would carry her away if they had a disagreement. Although this behavior had occurred less frequently since she became pregnant, he might still carry her away even if he didn't carry her away. So it was better to make it clear. The most important thing was that she needed a certain amount of exercise, otherwise she would be the one who suffered after giving birth.
"Are you full after eating just two buns?" Ling Wuxin held her hand firmly and asked her with a low smile.
"This is a big bun, and the portion is quite large! I heard that the more time passes, the less you can eat in one meal! Do you know why?" Yiyi followed his steps and walked slowly forward, asking questions as if testing him.
"Why? Shouldn't our baby eat more as he grows older?" Ling Wuxin lowered his eyes and looked at her protruding belly and asked humbly.
"Of course it's because the bigger the baby gets, the more space he takes up in my abdomen. My stomach and intestines are squeezed and naturally can't hold so much food. I guess I'll feel uncomfortable after eating just a little." Yiyi replied, gently shaking the hands they were holding.
"Oh, the baby needs nutrition to grow, and you can't eat it, what should I do?" The man's face became visibly nervous.
"Stupid, of course you should eat small meals frequently! What else can you do?" Yiyi scolded him.
"My little girl is still very smart!" Ling Wuxin praised her and raised his other hand to rub her head.
"You're just good at talking. You enslaved me the whole night and fed me. You're not going to deny it, are you? My husband never thought that your true nature would be exposed when you're drunk!" Yiyi started to settle the score with him. She was afraid that if she didn't, he would be fooled by his sweet words and forget about it.
"What? Enslave my wife?" Ling Wuxin was dumbfounded. He wasn't completely drunk, he was still conscious. He only remembered that he was just being coquettish with his wife. How could that be considered enslaving her? Did he really do something excessive? He didn't remember!
"Hmph, you actually forgot yourself when you woke up and started pointing here and there, and asked me to pick up food for you and put it into your mouth. Big brother, I didn't expect you to act like a master. It must be deep-rooted that you want to be served, otherwise why would you order me around when you were drunk!" Yiyi was very clear when she settled the accounts.
"Is...is that all I ask for?" Ling Wuxin asked with a guiltily smile.
"Humph, you're still asking. If you weren't the first to ask, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba wouldn't ask. Even the second sister got involved, and her husband asked her to take care of him personally!" Yiyi quickly reprimanded the four brothers for their drunken behavior. Ling Wuxin laughed a lot. He didn't expect such a scene. It must have caused a lot of laughter. Fortunately, there were brothers together, not just him!
"Be good, I didn't order you around on purpose. I was just acting like a spoiled child, just like when I was a kid and acted like a spoiled child in front of my mother!" Ling Wuxin explained with a smile in her eyes.
"That's too much! Why do you think I'm your mother?" Yiyi's anger rose sharply when she heard that.
"Hahaha... No, I'm talking about the feeling of acting like a spoiled child!" Ling Wuxin laughed heartily, and the whole way back to the Hot Spring Valley was filled with his hearty laughter.
