Almost all the food on the stone table went into Ding Ye's stomach due to Yun Xi's various feedings.
Ding Ye was very full. This meal was not only the most filling he had ever eaten in his memory, but also the best.
The smell simply made him have endless aftertaste.
After the meal, Ding Ye cleared the stone table and led Yun Xi back to the house. He took off the sheets and quilts he had slept on and put on a clean set.
"The sheets and covers have been changed. Just make do with the quilt and mattress. I'll buy a new set tomorrow."
Since his parents left, he burned all the quilts and mattresses they used, leaving only his two sets.
The other set was washed a few days ago, and the cotton has not been sewn in, so it cannot be used at all.
Therefore, even though Ding Ye felt embarrassed, he could only let Yun Xi use his.
Yun Xi didn't mind using his quilt and mattress, but said, "I use yours, so what do you use?"
She didn't think that if Ding Ye had another plan, he would still let her use the one he used.
"I'm a grown man, so you don't have to worry about me. Go to bed early. I'm going to that house."
After speaking, Ding Ye picked up his things and helped Yun Xi close the door when he went out.
He pushed open the farthest room and went in, placing the things in his arms on a dilapidated low cabinet. Then, he went to the woodshed outside, brought back some hay, and spread it on the simple bed board.
So, when Yun Xi came over, she saw this scene and her brows furrowed.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing the noise, Ding Ye stopped and patted the dirt on his body. After making sure his clothes were clean, he turned to look at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi's eyes moved away from the bed covered with hay and fell on Ding Ye. Then, she walked up to him and reached out to hold his hand.
"Come on, let's sleep together."
Although she could sleep on hay, it was hard and prickly, and she couldn't bear for him to sleep in such a place.
In this room, not only was the bed condition in very poor condition, but even the window paper had not been replaced for a long time. There were holes everywhere in the window paper, and at night, cold wind blew in.
If you sleep in such a place overnight without a quilt, you will easily get cold and sick.
"No, no need. I'm fine here. You can go back to sleep."
Her words were like a thunderclap on the ground, shocking Ding Ye into confusion. He hurriedly refused and used all his strength to smack the wrist held by Yun Xi.
Of course Yun Xi wouldn't let him pull out. She held on tightly and hugged his waist with her other hand.
"Didn't we agree to get married? Are you regretting it again?"
Hearing this, Ding Ye shook his head vigorously, "I have no regrets."
He finally made the decision to marry this rich girl from the provincial capital as a villager. How could he regret it so easily
"Since you won't regret it..." Yun Xi paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Then why don't you go to sleep with me? Obviously I don't mind."
“…”
Ding Ye's breathing stagnated slightly, his throat moved, and he whispered, "We are not married yet..."
So, he can't!
"I said, I don't mind. We have to sleep together after we get married anyway. Now it's just brought forward."
After living in so many worlds, Yun Xi has long been accustomed to such things as being thick-skinned, and will not feel any discomfort at all.
Ding Ye, on the other hand, was really frightened by her openness and boldness. This was the first time in his life that he met such a... uh, shy woman.
Perhaps it was because the target was him, so instead of showing contempt, he felt strangely happy in his heart.
Ding Ye felt that he was abnormal.
"This is not good..."
He muttered lowly, and his attitude softened visibly. Seeing this, Yun Xi, who always knew how to beat snakes with a stick, immediately saw the right opportunity and launched an even more fierce offensive.
"What's wrong? If you don't come with me, that's fine. Then I'll sleep here with you. Anyway, I won't let you sleep on the haystack alone."
As soon as these words came out, Ding Ye didn't remember his previous persistence. He immediately abandoned all his principles and had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay then, I'll go to bed with you..."
When the conversation changed, he lowered his voice, full of dangerous threats, "But Yun Xi, I want to remind you that men are very dangerous animals, so if you regret it now, it's still too late."
"I won't regret it."
What is there to regret
Yun Xi thought lightly, it's not like she hasn't slept at all.
…
It was the first time he slept with someone else, and this person was a woman. Ding Ye was obviously a little nervous, and his whole body was very tense.
After getting into bed, he didn't dare to move or even utter a breath. He always kept a distance from Yun Xi and didn't let himself touch her.
Yun Xi turned sideways to face him, looking at his side face in the dark. When she saw his appearance, she felt funny.
Suddenly, she deliberately approached him and got into his arms.
Ding Ye froze immediately, his breathing stagnant, his eyes widened in the darkness, and he didn't know how to react.
"Go to sleep. Don't go to work in the team tomorrow. Come with me to the town."
Yun Xi closed her eyes, put an arm on his waist, and put her head on his shoulder.
"good… "
Ding Ye responded in a low voice, with a faint hoarseness in his voice. After a moment, he took a deep breath and hugged her.
…
the next day…
Ding Ye remembered that at night, Yun Xi told him to accompany her to the town, so he got up early before dawn and went to the production team to ask for leave.
Then, he returned home to pick up Yun Xi.
Tangjia Village is 20 miles away from the town in the mountains. If you walk quickly, it will take more than two hours, and if you walk slowly, it will take almost more than three hours. Therefore, if you want to go to the town, you have to leave early.
When he returned, Yun Xi had already prepared food. She steamed some sweet potatoes, cooked some porridge with Ding Ye's grains, and took some mung bean cakes from the space.
Because it was difficult to expose the space for the time being, she had to prepare simply.
With last night's preparation, it would be much easier for Yun Xi to feed Ding Ye today.
Ding Ye obviously also understood that according to Yun Xi's temperament of never giving up until he achieved his goal, if he refused, it would only waste both of them's time, so he cooperated extraordinarily.
After a hasty meal, the two locked the door and set off.
There is a main road from Tangjiacun to the town that can be passed by oxcarts, but the main road is farther, almost forty miles away.
Therefore, when villagers go to town, they usually choose to take trails. Trails are mountain roads, which are rugged and steep and very difficult to walk.
