Hearing what she said, Zhong Mingwei suddenly felt his whole body on fire, and he swallowed the lamb in his mouth in two bites. While holding Ah Chou's face across the small table, he lightly bit A Chou's round nose, and said softly, "It's delicious."
"Gudong!"
next second. Ah Chou swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
…
"Why don't you let me sleep on the kang?" Ah Chou rubbed on the edge of the kang, holding Zhong Mingwei's hand. I don't want to go to bed to sleep. "I sleep at your feet, I can't even touch you, and I certainly won't infect you."
Zhong Mingwei was not moved at all. Shen Sheng said: "Be obedient, go to bed and sleep quickly, and hug this thick quilt over."
Zhong Mingwei was not worried about Ah Chou's typhoid fever. It's just that his knees are so swollen. Due to the darkness and the blankets on his legs, Ah Chou didn't notice it, but Ruo Yi fell asleep. Naturally, I couldn't hide it from Ah Chou. Zhong Mingwei naturally wanted to drive Ah Chou to bed.
"Oh." Ah Chou responded unwillingly, but she was also worried that she would infect Zhong Mingwei. So now he hugged the quilt and went to bed listlessly, while talking sullenly. "I can blow the lamp."
"puff!"
Zhong Mingwei blew out the candles and lay flat on the kang with his head under the quilt. He gently applied the cooling ointment one by one. After sitting for a long time just now, his knees were sore and swollen.
"Zhong Mingwei, don't let us go down the mountain to buy a house," A Chou's voice came from the darkness, "I really like this place, the scenery is nice and quiet, the yard is a bit broken, it can be repaired, anyway The two of us live together, and there is no need to buy any big houses."
"Didn't you say you want to open up wasteland and farm?" Zhong Mingwei asked Ah Chou while wiping the cooling ointment on his hands, "How do you farm on this mountain?"
"Then we won't farm anymore. We have money left and right, which is enough for us to spend a lifetime," A Chou said, paused, and A Chou continued, "Zhong Mingwei, don't be angry when I say this. What about our farming in the future, but I don’t think so in my heart.”
Zhong Mingwei's voice sank: "Are you worried that my legs won't get better?"
"No, your leg will definitely recover. Isn't it already recovered so well? It will definitely recover quickly in the future," Ah Chou hurriedly said, while sighing with difficulty concealing his sorrow, "But I still don't want to let it go." You are farming, Zhong Mingwei, I am really afraid that your leg will be hurt again, although I don’t usually say it, but I always worry about it, if you walk on the kang by yourself, or boil water for cooking or something, My whole heart is always on tenterhooks, lest you have something to do, Zhong Mingwei, I really love you, seeing you limping and walking, seeing you boiling water in front of the stove, let alone I asked you to work in the fields, Zhong Mingwei, I know I may be too hypocritical, but I am really worried, how much suffering have you suffered because of these two legs along the way? How much suffering? I I really don’t want you to suffer twice and suffer twice.”
Zhong Mingwei didn't speak, but his Adam's apple slid violently a few times.
"Zhong Mingwei, don't be angry. I would never say this to you. I am afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, that you will be discouraged, and that I will not be able to say it myself." A Chou said every word very calmly, There was no ups and downs in the tone, but tears slid down the corners of the eyes, "Zhong Mingwei, I don't need you to support your wife and children like other men, and I don't want you to sell your strength. Before we didn't have the five hundred taels of silver, I thought the same way, as long as you do well... be my husband well, that's enough."
"Zhong Mingwei, I don't want you to suffer a little bit, and I don't want to worry about you all day long, so Zhong Mingwei, I will be good in the future. I will be willing to buy new clothes and eat donkey-hide gelatin. When I go down to fetch water, I will feel sorry for myself, take care of myself, and try my best to be a wife who won’t make you angry or worry about you.” Ah Chou continued to whisper while wiping away his tears, “You too Yes, don’t worry about how to stand up, don’t force yourself to do things that you don’t want to do or can’t do for a while, don’t suppress your anger when you are angry, and laugh loudly when you are happy, Zhong Mingwei, I don’t care about your past, But from now on, I want you to live freely and happily, you know?"
