After marrying the rough man Orion, the little peasant girl was spoiled

Chapter 43 Rolling Up Cheng Huai's Sleeves
The hot temperature came from the palm of his hand, Jiang Miao closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Cheng Huai couldn't help but frowned at the sound of even breathing around her, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't grab her hand again, but fell asleep quietly.

Jiang Miao slept soundly that night, and when she woke up, she found that she was still holding Cheng Huai, and nodded with certainty.

Sure enough, the reason why she couldn't sleep well the day before yesterday was because there was no one beside her.

But the big bed is really comfortable to sleep in, not crowded at all.

She got out of bed, and Yu Ying was already lighting a fire behind her.

Jiang Miao glanced at the kitchen, "Mother, are you going to make buns today?"

"Yes, go to the town tomorrow to sell the buns, and you and Cheng Huai will buy some meat back. Mother wants to try making meat buns."

Now that the steamed stuffed bun business is booming, she has to seize this opportunity to earn a little more.

"Is Aunt Cheng's home?" Someone shouted outside.

"At home!" Yu Ying put down the tongs and pointed to the stove, "Girl Miao, help mother watch the fire."

Jiang Miao nodded, and Yu Ying patted the ashes on her hands and went out.

After a while, Cheng Huai came in to help Jiang Miao light the fire and asked her to wash up first.

Jiang Miao handed him the tongs and ran to wash up. After washing, he came back quickly and asked curiously, "Cheng Huai, did you sleep well last night?"

The man's eyes flickered quickly, and then he looked at her slightly, unable to guess what she was thinking for a while.

"Yeah." He turned his head and continued to burn the fire.

Jiang Miao was relieved, and said with a smile, "I slept pretty well, too." She quickly looked at his loose hair again, "Go and wash your face, I'll take care of it here."

Cheng Huai stood up and went outside to wash up. Yu Ying also came over with Dabao and Xiaobao who had woken up, asked Cheng Huai to wash their faces, and went into the kitchen by herself.

Jiang Miao turned her head, "Mother, who is looking for you?"

Yu Ying added some firewood, "Dagui came to look for him and said that he was going to marry a wife at the end of the year, and now the family is planning to build a new house, and asked Cheng Huai to help when the time comes, and other people in the village will also go."

Jiang Miao nodded. A few days ago, Dagui helped Cheng Huai go up the mountain to cut down trees. Now that he is going to build a new house, he naturally wants to help.

After breakfast, Cheng Huai went to the village chief's house to help.

The most important thing to build a house is wood and soil, so the helpers are divided into two groups, one group goes to the mountain to cut trees, and the other group stays to pick up soil and mix it.

Cheng Huai was the one who went to the mountain to cut trees, and went home with an ax and a kettle.

Jiang Miao helped Yu Ying knead the dough at home and watched the two children by the way. Yu Ying carried the clothes to the river to wash. When she came back, she saw Aunt Zhang standing at the door and cursing, saying that her chicken had been stolen.

Yu Ying asked kindly, "What's going on, did you make a mistake?"

Aunt Zhang was furious: "There are twenty chickens in total. I counted them several times and they are all nineteen. God damn thief, you better not let me catch them, or I will tear his mouth apart!"

"Look around again, maybe I went to some corner."

Without saying any more, Yu Ying walked away with the wooden basin in her arms.

After returning home, Yu Ying dried the clothes, turned over the dates in the dustpan, and moved a low bench to sit next to Jiang Miao.

"Girl Miao, I recently went out to walk around Aunt Zhang's house." Yu Ying reminded her.

Jiang Miao raised her head in doubt: "What's the matter, mother?"

Yu Ying shook her head, with a calm expression: "It's okay, her chicken was stolen, I guess it will take a few days for her to stop cursing, you go around a bit, so as not to hear her dirty words."

"I see."

People in the village have to curse for a long time when they lose an egg, let alone a chicken.

Jiang Miao didn't think much, and took the dough and made a rabbit. It was not delicate, but it could be seen that it was a rabbit. "Mother, look at the little rabbit I made."

"It looks good, but it's not easy to stuff it." Yu Ying replied with a smile.

Jiang Miao couldn't help laughing: "And it's not delicious." After she finished speaking, she slapped the rabbit flat and carefully picked up the buns.

Yu Ying's eyelids twitched, and when she saw the squashed rabbit, she couldn't help turning her head to look at the wild rabbit eating vegetables behind her.

Jiang Miao and Yu Ying made steamed buns all morning, but Cheng Huai didn't come back at lunch time. I heard that the village chief's house provided the food, and that he would be paid ten cash for a day's work, so many people in the village went.

Yu Ying wanted to take care of the child, and Jiang Miao helped make steamed buns at home, so she didn't plan to go.

This time, I made [-] steamed stuffed buns with spicy filling and [-] steamed stuffed buns with pickled vegetables, [-] buns with cabbage stuffing, and [-] buns with cabbage vermicelli stuffing.

She didn't dare to do too much, lest she couldn't sell it and couldn't finish it by herself.

It wasn't until evening that Cheng Huai came back with an ax and a bucket of courgette and cowpea in his hand.

The rough man rolled his trousers and sleeves, his strong and strong arms were exposed, his face was slightly black and red, and he presumably had been exposed to the sun for a long time during the day when he felled trees.

Seeing Jiang Miao, his dark eyes lightened slightly, and he quickly pursed his lower lip again, keeping his expression down.

Jiang Miao went over to help him carry the bucket, but Cheng Huai moved it to the side, "No, it's very heavy."

After speaking, he strode into the house, put all his things in the backyard, and washed his hands.

Hearing the movement, the two cubs watching the rabbit turned their heads, stood up and ran towards Cheng Huai: "Daddy, daddy!" They were extremely excited.

Jiang Miao stopped them with a smile, and patted their little butts, "I'm going to find grandma, let's eat."

Yu Ying put away the bowls and chopsticks, and beckoned to Dabao and Xiaobao outside, with a loud voice: "Come here to eat, there is custard to eat."

Only then did Dabao and Xiaobao turn around, and their small bodies slowly swayed into the room.

Seeing them sitting down to eat obediently, Jiang Miao looked away, and walked over to take a wooden ladle to scoop up water for Cheng Huai to wash his hands.

The woman's head drooped slightly, a few strands of hair fell to her cheeks, her eyes were focused on his hands, her eyelashes fluttered slowly, and she looked very gentle.

Cheng Huai paused for a moment while washing his hands, met her gaze, quickly bent over to finish washing his hands, and straightened up.

Jiang Miao put the wooden ladle in the water tank, saw that he was waiting for her, and walked over to help him roll up his loose sleeves, "Cheng Huai, are you tired of going up the mountain to cut trees today? Are there many people going to the mountain?"

"Not tired, many people have gone." The man replied in a hoarse voice, looking down at the hand holding his sleeve, his eyes flickered slightly.

Rolling up her sleeves, Jiang Miao withdrew her hand and asked as she walked, "Then are you going to help tomorrow?"

"Well, I will go in the afternoon and help for a while." He answered patiently.

Building a house is a long-term job, and it can't be completed in ten days and a half months. Fortunately, we can help together in the village, and the speed can still be faster.

When Jiang Miao heard this, her eyes brightened and she smiled: "Then you and I will go to the town to buy meat tomorrow morning. Mother said that she wants to make meat buns."

Cheng Huai nodded, that's what he originally planned.

Cheng Huai and Yu Ying tasted the cabbage and vermicelli buns for dinner, and they both thought it was good, and Jiang Miao also thought the taste was okay.

She also tried three other kinds of buns, all of which were delicious, but she couldn't finish them all, so she broke all of them in half and gave them to Cheng Huai.
