C3 The Couple Are Just Fine

A couple is fine.

Luo Mannmann inwardly wailed a few times. She had finally accepted reality.

She first took a wooden basin, filled it with hot water and cold water before carrying it out to the courtyard.

He rinsed his hair with soapy liquid, rinsed three basins of warm water, and washed them clean. Then he wrung the water out of his hair with his hand, wiped it with a towel, and wrapped it in a towel.

Xiao Yiming's figure was no longer in the room outside the courtyard. He saw that the oil lamp in his room was still lit …

Luo Mannmann turned around and took another bucket of cold water. She went into the house and poured another bucket of hot water into the bath barrel. Then, she poured some cold water into the tub. The temperature of the water was just right.

"Ai, this ancient era is so troublesome. Even taking a bath is so troublesome …" Thinking of the current her, she must have been reduced to ashes. Sigh …

She took off her dirty and tattered clothes and stepped into the bath barrel.

After soaking in the bath barrel for a while, Luo Mannmann started to wash herself. Seeing that there was a layer of dirt washing off her body, she frowned. The original owner was too unhygienic.

He rubbed the liquid onto his body and repeatedly washed it. It was cool and refreshing to the point that it felt very comfortable.

Just as he put on his clothes, he heard a knock on the wooden door. Xiao Yiming's voice came: "Mannmann, are you done washing?"

He had noticed that there was no sound of flowing water, so he came to ask.

Luo Mannmann straightened her clothes, opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that his wife's clothes were obviously bigger, Xiao Yiming said, "I'll help you pour out the bath barrel of water. You've been tired all day, go to sleep.

"Oh yeah, I'll take you to the street to buy some clothes when the market starts. My mom's clothes are too big for you."

Luo Mannmann saw him busy pouring out the water in the bathtub, felt awkward and embarrassed. This Xiao Yiming was really a good husband model in ancient times, but she didn't want to take it lying down.

"It's fine, I'm wearing these clothes pretty well." She knew that Xiao Yiming had spent all of his wealth just to buy her clothes.

"My wife, you should go to sleep first. I'll make more money in the next few days to buy you something good." Xiao Yiming revealed his white teeth and smiled brilliantly. Luo Mannmann didn't say anything as she replied with a smile.

The night was quiet. Luo Mannmann lay on the On the Kang, breathing in the fragrance of the quilt. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She was just an outsider, yet she was able to use whatever good Xiao Family she had. She vowed to quickly adapt to this environment and repay her benefactor.

The next morning.

Birds were chirping outside the window. Luo Mannmann's sleep was not shallow, but this unfamiliar environment had kept her awake all night. That noise in the kitchen had woken her up a long time ago.

She pushed open the window to let in the light and looked down at her hands, almost forgetting where she was.

Looking at the sky outside, he could smell the faint scent of dewdrops. It should be around 6: 30 in the morning.

After getting up from the bed, Luo Mannmannxi started to put on her clothes. She went inside the house and looked around, but didn't see Xiao Yiming.

In the kitchen, Aunt Xiao was stir-frying rice porridge. The coarse grains of rice were stirring in the wok, giving off a fragrant smell.

"Mannmann is up. Why aren't you sleeping?" Aunt Xiao was extremely affectionate and amiable towards her.

This made Luo Mannmann's heart relax. Luckily, in name, this mother-in-law wasn't hard to get along with.

"That... Xiao … Where's Yiming? " There was no helping it, this man was already familiar with it, so it was a bit like he was a baby recognizing someone.

Aunt Xiao, on the other hand, had pretty much cooked the rice in the wok. She poured some water into the wok and started to cook the porridge. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Yiming went into the mountains to chop down the trees. He should be back soon."

"Oh …" Mannmann nodded and was about to go to the kitchen to help when she saw Aunt Xiao say, "Mannmann, I'm almost done. Go and see if Yiming is back."

"Sigh, then I'll go out and take a look." "Okay," Luo Mannmann replied. She went out to take a look along the path.

Along the way, he kept looking at his surroundings. The village was quite large, so it was likely that he had come here for nothing.

Looking at the houses, most of them were mud houses and tiles, and only the Xiao Family was a thatched roof, it seemed that Xiao Family was notoriously poor.

Basically, every household had poultry, chickens and ducks, sheep and cattle, and even pigs and dogs.

Along the bumpy road, one could see fertile rice fields.

Xiao Yiming was carrying a big tree and walking back. He passed by a big banyan tree in the middle of the village. There was a group of villagers who had just come back from the fields to chat and clench their teeth.

"Oh, Yiming, I heard you have a wife now."

"That's right …" Xiao Yiming replied.

With his sharp eyes, he noticed that his daughter-in-law was slowly making her way down the village road. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and waved his hand excitedly, "My daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law …" I'm here. "

"Yo, how are these couple doing?" Some villagers began to joke around.

At this moment, Luo Mannmann's skinny figure was getting closer and closer. When it was about time, Xiao Yiming went up to Luo Mannmann and grabbed her hand. He introduced her to the others with excitement.

"This is my wife, Mannmann." Compared to Lili's awkwardness, Xiao Yiming was very generous.

"It feels different to the person who married his wife." Wang Ergou, who was from the same village, laughed.

Although this woman is a little too skinny, but isn't it the same for women lying in the On the Kang after they get married?

"Yiming, is the money not enough? Say it earlier. third aunt will definitely buy something nice for you."

third aunt felt a little regretful. This kid was just a bit poor, and had a pretty good appearance.

Was there a lot of girls in this village who were secretly in love with him? Why is this fresh grass stuck on cow dung? What a waste.

"third aunt, what you're saying is not right. Buying a wife is a matter for the family. You don't understand what it means to use love in the eyes of a lover."

"You are the only one who knows, pretend not to understand." third aunt retorted angrily.

"third aunt, don't talk about it. I know a thing or two about it." Wang Ergou smiled in an ambiguous manner.

After circling around the two of them, he said, "Looking at the light in Yiming's eyes, I can tell that he really likes this wife of his."

Xiao Yiming just smiled and didn't refute her. Holding Luo Mannmann's hand, his little hand was soft and warm. Who said that his wife was ugly and raised a little fat. The whiter she got, the more she would be like a village flower.

The two of them walked down the path and prepared to return.

Brother Yiming, you really bought a wife? With another chop of the leg, the figure disappeared again.

Seeing her shy, angry, and angry appearance, Luo Mannmann guessed that this girl liked Xiao Yiming!

Seeing that there was no one else around, Luo Mannmann quickly got rid of Xiao Yiming's hand. The man was rather tall and strong, so it wasn't difficult for him to hold a big tree on his shoulder with one hand and hold her hand with the other.

"About that, you should focus on carrying the tree."

"Is my wife shy?"

"What are you going to do with such a big tree?" Luo Mannmann was extremely curious.

"You'll know soon enough."

When they arrived at the yard, Xiao Yiming put down the big tree on his shoulder and patted off the dirt on his body.

Seeing this, Luo Mannmann hurriedly scooped some water into a basin and brought it to him. "Wash your hands, the aunt is still waiting for us to eat breakfast," she said.

"Alright." Xiao Yiming was very considerate towards Luo Mannmann.

At this moment, Luo Mannmann could clearly see the whole structure of the house. The roof was made out of thatch, while the walls were made out of yellow mud.

Although it was simple, the area was quite large. There were two rooms, a kitchen and a living room.

There was a chicken coop on this side of the yard. Inside the courtyard was a pile of firewood that had been split, as well as a bamboo pole used to dry clothes.

Aunt Xiao had also noticed the commotion outside and quickly called out, "Yiming, Mannmann, come over for breakfast."

"You're here?" As the two of them entered the kitchen, they saw three bowls of fragrant rice porridge, a bowl of pickled vegetables, and a fried egg on a mottled wooden table.

"Come, my wife, come quickly and eat breakfast." Xiao Yiming put the only egg on the plate into the bowl.

"This …" There was only one egg, so it should have been given to Aunt Xiao. After all, she was an elder.

Who knew that Luo Mannmann's chopsticks would be stopped by another pair of chopsticks the moment she picked them up. Xiao Yiming seemed to know what she was thinking and hurriedly explained: "About that, Mother said you are too thin and need some nourishment."

The reply was the same simple and honest smile.

His mother had said that his daughter-in-law was too thin, and had to be nourished before she could have a big, fat child. These eggs were the eggs of a chicken that they raised themselves, so naturally they were highly nutritious.

Usually, Aunt Xiao wouldn't be willing to eat them. She would collect them and sell them at the market. At this time, she was quite willing to part with them.

Luo Mannmann took a bite of the egg. It was crispy and delicious, and the brown rice porridge was also fragrant.

As he looked at the two of them, tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

"Mom, your daughter-in-law is too thin. Kill a chicken another day to supplement your daughter-in-law's health." Xiao Yiming said again.

"Ahh, okay. You're such a pampered wife." Aunt Xiao was a little hesitant.

It was hard for her to hug her grandson as soon as possible. Since a child of Xiao Yiming's age in the village was already covered in soy sauce, how could she not be anxious?

After eating breakfast, the three of them had their own thoughts.

Aunt Xiao packed her bags in the kitchen, but Luo Mannmann didn't rush to do it. After Xiao Yiming finished his breakfast, she went to busy herself in the yard.

Luo Mannmann sighed and went to wash the dirty clothes by the door. She then walked along the muddy rural road to the stream.

Mountains encircled the area, trees were verdant, and small curving streams snaked down the rice fields.

Luo Mannmann walked slowly on the road. When she met the villagers who were working in the village, she greeted them enthusiastically, "Is this Aunt Xiao's wife?"

"I heard it's called Mannmann. She's so diligent. She's here to wash the clothes."

"Is it better to hear that you're sick?"

"Yeah, much better. Thank you for your concern." A stream of warmth flowed through her heart as she looked at the simple and honest villagers.

When they arrived at the stream, there were already a few women washing clothes. Since she didn't know them, Luo Mannmann didn't care.

He first took out the dirty clothes from the wooden basin, then put some soap in the basin and soaked the clothes in water for a while.

Then he took out a piece of clothing, rubbed it dry, and then beat it with a hammer.
