Chapter 6 - Impatience

"This is the hen laying eggs, why are you …"

"Mannmann, you're too thin. You need some nourishment." Hearing Xiao Yiming's words, Luo Mannmann did not refute any further, and her heart was even more touched.

After collecting the clothes, he tidied up the sleeping On the Kang s one by one.

He went to the kitchen, washed the mushrooms and cut them into chopped spring onions and ginger.

At this moment, Xiao Yiming had already cleaned up the hen and the food inside the chicken belly was also cleaned up.

"Let me do it." Luo Mannmann took it and cut the hen into pieces with a knife.

"Then I'll go and light the fire." Xiao Yiming added a few pieces of dried wood into the stove hole and the flames burned vigorously.

Luo Mannmann put some oil in the pot, some green onions and ginger, stir-fry about the same, then stir-fry the mushrooms, when about the same time, scoop the appropriate amount of water from the water tank into the pot.

After covering the pot with the lid, Luo Mannmann glanced at Xiao Yiming and saw that he was staring at her with a heated gaze.

Her face heated up as she avoided his gaze. She then saw him say, "Wifey, you're really capable."

Seeing that his wife was shy, Xiao Yiming stopped teasing her. The stewed chicken needed a few more hours, so he added a few more sticks of firewood and a few more bellows to increase the intensity of the fire.

Seeing that it was about time, Luo Mannmann added salt and then began to cook.

At this moment, Xiao Yiming came over to help. Luo Mannmann pushed him away and said, "Let me do it. You've been busy all day, so you must be tired."

He pushed him. At first, he didn't move, but then he suddenly stood up, making Luo Mannmann unprepared. Luo Mannmann lost her balance and stepped on a piece of firewood. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a pair of big hands pulled her into their embrace.

Xiao Yiming's wide embrace gave her a sense of security, and the smell of his sweat didn't make Luo Mannmann frown. Instead, she felt that he was working hard.

They remained in this position for a moment, and then Xiao Yiming seemed to enjoy the intimate contact, and then he recovered from Luo Mannmann's light cough. "Mannmann, are you all right?"

"I-I'm fine. Let me cook."

"Alright, I'll clean up the wood in the front yard. After the firewood from the stove hole turns into charcoal, you can put it in this jar."

"Alright." After Xiao Yiming finished, he touched Luo Mannmann's beautiful hair and went to the front yard to pack his stuff with a smile.

The chicken stewed with mushrooms for about two hours before the fragrance filled the room. Lili put the pieces of charcoal into the pot one by one.

"Aunt, it's time for Yiming to eat."

"It's here, my wife." Soon, the family of three gathered around the table, eating delicious and luxurious chicken stewed mushrooms.

There were three big bowls of chicken and soup in the pot. The fragrance filled the air, causing one's stomach to rumble with hunger.

Xiao Yiming even grabbed a piece of fat chicken for Luo Mannmann and said, "Mannmann, don't be so polite at home. You must be hungry. Hurry up and eat."

After saying that, he followed Aunt Xiao's gaze and saw her looking at him. After a moment of shock, she quickly picked up a piece of meat and passed it to her mother. "Mother, you eat it. I just tasted it. How's the taste?"

Seeing that Aunt Xiao didn't say anything, she must be thinking about his decision in her heart.

After all, the hens at home were pretty good at laying eggs. They were expensive to sell, and could sell for some money every time they brought a chicken to the market.

However, his wife was too thin. It was obvious that she was undernourished. She was well-prepared at home, so she had to make up for it.

"Sofia, come have a bowl of chicken soup. You're too thin. Eat more and make up for it." Aunt Xiao smiled as she scooped a bowl of soup and handed it over to Luo Mannmann.

"En, then you should eat too, auntie. I'll do it myself." Luo Mannmann had a good appetite, so she made an exception and ate another bowl of rice.

Aunt Xiao giggled all the time, as if she could see her fat grandson landing on the ground.

After the meal, it was still Luo Mannmann who rushed to clean up the tableware, leaving the extra chicken stewed with mushrooms in the wooden kitchen cabinet.

Fortunately, it was still early summer and not particularly hot yet. It wouldn't be bad if he ate more food.

As night fell, the entire mountain village became quiet. At the top of the mountain, there were a few stars that were blinking.

In the past, Xiao Yiming would have gone to the village entrance under the great banyan tree to listen to the villagers chatter. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to take a bath by the river and come back early to chat with Luo Mannmann.

When Luo Mannmann walked out of the yard, she saw Xiao Yiming coming out with a wooden bucket and a towel.

It was a standard six abs. He couldn't tell that this fellow's figure was so impressive. This was the legendary style of clothing, and taking off his clothes must have skin and bones.

"You …" Luo Mannmann swallowed her saliva unconsciously when she saw the man's face in front of her.

Pah pah pah, Luo Mannmann, what's going on in your head?

Xiao Yiming couldn't help but want to take a good look at her when he saw her shy look.

After these past few days of nourishment, although his wife's skin was dark, her face was a little oily. However, what was that layer of red on her face?

He walked in and called out, "Wifey, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Luo Mannmann did not say anything, her voice became louder. "Wife …"

"Ah …" When Luo Mannmann raised her head and saw the enlarged handsome face, she couldn't help but cry out.

"I …" She would never admit that she was daydreaming.

"Wife, I'm going to bathe by the river. Do you want to come with me?" Xiao Yiming noticed her embarrassment and joked.

"You, if you want to go wash, then go. I'll just do it at home." Luo Mannmann stomped her feet in embarrassment. After saying that, she ran off to the kitchen to boil some hot water and prepare to wash up.

Xiao Yiming smiled and walked away with the wooden bucket. After a day's work, he was covered in sweat. The stream was so cool that it felt comfortable to wash.

Xiao Yiming was enjoying the cool evening breeze as he walked along the road in the countryside.

They meandered along the edge of the field until they came to a small stream by the Juan Creek.

The sky was a little dark, so it was difficult to see the manor clearly. However, it was possible to see several villagers washing their bodies by the stream with their bare arms.

"Yiming, oh, why did you come so early today?" Some villagers joked.

"Mhmm, I just finished eating. I thought I'd come early to wash up since there weren't many people here." Xiao Yiming replied.

The shifty Wang Ergou grinned: "You don't know about Brother Liu Shan, you can get on the brick bed with your wife if you wash early …"

Hahaha … Everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Yiming's face stiffened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense. Aiyo, Yiming, stop pretending. Everyone here is a man, what's there to be embarrassed about?" "What are you pretending for? You've been a bachelor for more than twenty years, and now you're finally free. How about it, although your wife isn't good-looking, but the taste should be good right?" Wang Ergou continued to laugh, his laugh was very ambiguous.

"Wang Ergou, this is a couple's business, don't talk about it." Liu Shan said with a serious expression and a look of 'we understand'.

The newlyweds? There was always a lot of it.

"Alright, stop talking. Once you're done bathing, give me a spot." Xiao Yiming's face was still stiff.

"Oh, you can't joke with me. I say, Xiao Yiming, it can't be that you haven't settled your wife yet, right?" Wang Ergou guessed.

"Yiming, I'm done washing. Come to my place to wash up." Liu Shan tied his jacket around his waist, put on a pair of large underpants, got another bucket of water and left.

Once Liu Shan left, only Wang Ergou and Xiao Yiming were left by the river. Wang Ergou was even more unscrupulous to ask:

I say, Xiao Yiming, you really didn't finish it. Are you not going to take the initiative or not? "

Honestly speaking, if it was his wife, he really wouldn't be able to eat her. However, when necessary, he could still eat her.

This new wife had already been in Xiao Family for three or four days, and Xiao Yiming still hadn't touched her? Was there something wrong with him? Or did he regret buying an ugly wife?

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Xiao Yiming ignored him. He stepped into the stream and started washing himself.

"Didn't I care about you? Yiming, are you regretting your purchase? " Wang Ergou did not give up and asked, who made him curious?

If you regret it, you can sell it to someone else.

"No." The sound of flowing water could be heard in the stream.

"Or can't you?" Wang Ergou was unrelenting with his words.

"That's not it. Wang Ergou, are you annoyed? If you're done washing, then get out. You can't even wash your body, no wonder you can't get a wife." Xiao Yiming was getting impatient.

"Oh, angry, I can't marry a wife? How many miles is my daughter-in-law?

I said, since Xiao Yiming has already married his wife, let's hurry up and make our move. It's not like there are all the wives that have been bought in this village, you can call it that. "

Wang Ergou shook his head. He silently carried the wooden barrel and leisurely walked away while whistling.

Wang Ergou's mouth was really soft. However, after hearing what he said, he recalled his wife's shy look at night. Who knows, she might also be waiting for him to take the initiative.

Thinking about this, Xiao Yiming was very happy. Right after he finished washing, he heard light footsteps coming from the bushes.

"Who?" Doesn't sound like a man's footsteps? Xiao Yiming was already standing on the shore. Just as he was about to walk back with the bucket filled with water, he saw a slim figure flash by.

"It's me, Brother Yiming."

"What are you doing here? Could it be that you've been hiding here all this time, watching a man bathe, so that a young lady wouldn't be ashamed of her family? " Xiao Yiming's tone was ice-cold and did not look good.

"Hey, Brother Yiming, how can you say that about me? "I just passed by the village entrance and Wang Ergou said that you were here. That's why I …" Qiu Ju kept rubbing her hands as she tried to defend herself in a shy and angry manner.

Xiao Yiming was too lazy to listen to her explanation. Just as he was about to carry the wooden bucket over, Qiu Ju opened her arms wide and blocked his path, "Brother Yiming, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I have something to talk to you about."

"Get out of the way, don't block the way." My wife is still waiting for me at home. " Xiao Yiming emphasized the word 'wife'.

She didn't want to have too much interaction with her. If she were to be seen by other villagers later, there would be many rumors and gossip tomorrow.

He was fine, it would be a crime to ruin the reputation of this girl.
