Chapter 250: Chapter 252 Can You Help Me Take a Bath_1
Tan Zhenghong found a stone and sat down with Qiao Duo’er, then eagerly picked up the chopsticks to start eating.
He had just lifted a few noodles but then put them down, "Wife, have you eaten?"
Qiao Duo’er shook her head, "I didn’t move around at home this afternoon, not hungry at all."
"You should eat a little bit. After you finish, then I’ll eat," Tan Zhenghong passed the chopsticks to Qiao Duo’er.
His wife was somewhat of a clean freak—she definitely wouldn’t eat anything others had touched, but he didn’t mind; eating what she left was fine for him.
"Husband, I want to be fed," Qiao Duo’er said coyly.
"Wife, are you okay?" Tan Zhenghong looked at Qiao Duo’er with a weird expression; this didn’t sound like something his wife would say.
Could it be that there was another person inside his wife now?
Please don’t let it be so; he loved what was inside her. If the person inside changed, she wouldn’t be his wife anymore.
Qiao Duo’er felt sad. She had just whimsically tried to act cute and coquettish; was it really that startling?
Or did Tan Zhenghong just have a masochistic streak, enjoying being treated roughly?
Seeing his wife glaring, Tan Zhenghong reassured himself and then picked up some noodles to her lips. Qiao Duo’er cooperated and swallowed them.
The bone soup was fragrant and perfect for noodles, plus the greens help cut through the grease, and while eating, she actually started to feel a bit hungry. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Qiao Duo’er ate satisfied, and Tan Zhenghong watched happily.
"You eat too," Qiao Duo’er said softly, feeling embarrassed having him watch her eat all the time.
Tan Zhenghong hurriedly agreed; did this mean his wife didn’t dislike him anymore?
Qiao Duo’er silently remarked they had kissed so many times already, sometimes even a French kiss—if she still found him disgusting, that would be quite pretentious!
Soon, the two of them finished a bowl of noodles together; hmm... the noodles were indeed delicious today.
Afterward, Tan Zhenghong went back to digging the cellar, and Qiao Duo’er went to have a look too.
"Isn’t this too big?" Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help asking.
Tan Zhenghong explained, "Let’s stock up on more grain. When the new crop comes in, we can sell the old grain. Sure, we might lose a bit of money, but no matter the harvest, we won’t go hungry."
Qiao Duo’er nodded, not asking further. Tan Zhenghong knew much more about this than she did; what he said couldn’t be wrong.
Qiao Duo’er started pulling weeds next to the cellar, realizing only now that the homestead they’d bought was too large; it would definitely take a long time to tidy up.
But who would complain when it’s their own home? She was happy to do it!
When the sun dipped below the horizon, the couple walked back side by side on the ground glowing with golden light.
Today, Sun Erhu and his crew returned early because the chef at one household had encountered a problem, and all the braised meat on sale in town had been sold out before they even got there.
So they had the rare opportunity to eat dinner early.
Qiao Duo’er heated water for a bath, letting Tan Zhenghong shower first, perhaps influenced by Qiao Duo’er; Tan Zhenghong had become a bit haughty.
"Wife, could you help me scrub my back? My hands are injured."
Qiao Duo’er pulled back the curtain and went in, seeing that both of Tan Zhenghong’s palms had several blisters.
"Does it hurt?" Seeing Tan Zhenghong nod, Qiao Duo’er scolded, "You deserve the pain! I told you not to be too hard on yourself. Didn’t you listen at all?"
Tan Zhenghong admitted his fault like a good child, "I promise I’ll listen to my wife from now on, so... could you help me with the bath today..."
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at Tan Zhenghong but still bent down to wash him.
