Chapter 108: Chapter 108-109 _1
"I’m going to wash my face!" Qiao Duo’er sprang up, hurriedly put on her shoes, and went to wash her face.
The medicine powder on her face had to be washed off in time; otherwise, it would absorb the moisture from her skin, making her skin even drier. Hmm... she had to wash her face; she had to take good care of her little face.
Watching his little wife, Tan Zhenghong felt a pang of resentment.
Was he being disliked? Just now, she was shaking her head and nodding at him. What did that mean?
Did she agree or not?
Anyway, he didn’t understand; women’s thoughts were too hard to guess!
Qiao Duo’er washed her face slowly, but no matter how slow, there was always a moment when it was done.
After washing her face, she could only lie down on the bed slowly and leisurely.
Tan Zhenghong was still fanning himself, still using his arm as a pillow for Qiao Duo’er, but he was feeling quite down.
His woeful expression made Qiao Duo’er feel like she had committed a crime.
Qiao Duo’er took a deep breath before saying, "Once you’re better... cough cough, I’m afraid I’ll press on your leg."
With these words from Qiao Duo’er, Tan Zhenghong felt there was finally something to look forward to. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from bone and tendon injuries, and he had already endured most of that time.
"Can I... kiss you then?"
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips; well, if she refused even this request, it would seem too cruel.
So, she simply closed her eyes and waited for Tan Zhenghong to kiss her.
Tan Zhenghong was a bit nervous, just as nervous as Qiao Duo’er, but how could he miss the hard-won opportunity?
Determined, he leaned his head in and gently pecked Qiao Duo’er on the lips.
It took a while before Qiao Duo’er opened her eyes, only to see Tan Zhenghong still smiling.
His silly, happy expression made her wonder if he had gone foolish with joy.
She asked sternly on purpose, "What are you laughing at?"
Tan Zhenghong was pursing his lips, and after a while, he said softly, "Wife, you’re really sweet, even sweeter than sugar!"
Now Qiao Duo’er was at a loss for words.
Just from that one peck, he could taste that she was very sweet? She didn’t believe that!
But after that night, the relationship between the two of them took another step forward.
Early the next morning, Sun Erhu handed her two paper packages before leaving the house.
One was for Uncle Huang, since Sun Erhu had been hitching rides with him for a few days, it was only proper to thank him.
The other was for Butcher Chen, as she wanted to cooperate with him, and she had to show him there was hope.
Sun Erhu admired his sister-in-law even more and immediately did as Qiao Duo’er had instructed.
Uncle Huang said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite, child? It’s just a ride on the way, that’s all."
"If it weren’t for Uncle Huang, I would have had to walk a long way. My sister-in-law specifically instructed me to thank you properly. Auntie, the meat has been kept in the well overnight. You can stir-fry it with some green peppers or something at noon, it’s good for drinking or eating with rice."
Sun Erhu placed the meat in Aunt Huang’s hands.
Aunt Huang complained playfully, "You two are too polite, don’t do this next time!"
"All right, Uncle, let’s hurry to the town!"
Uncle Huang nodded, not forgetting to tell his wife to prepare some vegetables to send to Fourth Brother Tan’s family, and then they set off with the ox cart.
