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

Chapter 8 Washing in this way saves water

The two cubs grabbed Jiang Miao's hands and did not want to separate them, as if they were going to sleep in the same room with Jiang Miao.

Cheng Huai naturally refused, and they had had enough trouble, so they each slapped their buttocks twice with sullen faces, and sent them back to Yu Ying's room.

Yu Ying also finished her work. Seeing that the two children were sleepy, she quickly fetched water to wipe their faces and wash their hands. Seeing that Cheng Huai was coming to help, she quickly pushed him out, saying in a disgusted tone, "Go back to your room, tonight I will sleep with the big baby and the little baby."

"Mother, this..." Cheng Huaidun stayed where he was, and was stunned for a rare moment.

Yu Ying waved her hand and signaled him to leave: "Girl Miao said that she wants to hang out with you, why don't you know how to seize the opportunity?"

She looked a little disgusted: "You are a big man, why are you ashamed? Go get some water for Miao girl to wash her face and feet, and go to bed early."

Seeing Cheng Huai's silent expression, Yu Ying closed the door swiftly.

Cheng Huai stood looking at the closed door for a while, then turned to fetch water from the backyard, and entered the room where Jiang Miao slept.

Jiang Miao had already sat down by the bed, and when she saw Cheng Huai coming in, she quickly stood up again, looking at him hesitantly.

Cheng Huai brought the tub over and put it down, took a clean handkerchief, wet it in the water, wrung it dry, and handed it to her, "Wash your face."

Jiang Miao reached out to take it, forgetting that she was injured for a moment, the first time she hit the wound on her forehead, she couldn't help but take a low breath.

Cheng Huai quickly grabbed her wrist, his eyes fell on her slightly flushed face, and he pursed his lower lip with a complicated expression.

Jiang Miao felt that his gaze was looking at a fool.

Quickly broke away from his hand, avoided the wound, and slowly wiped his face with a towel.

Cheng Huai looked at her for a while, then looked away.

Seeing that Jiang Miao had finished washing her face, he went to get another basin for her to wash her feet. Seeing Jiang Miao bending over to take off her shoes and socks, revealing her fair ankles, Cheng Huai felt that his throat was dry and hot for no reason, and walked out as if nothing had happened. out of the house.

After washing her feet and climbing onto the bed, Jiang Miao looked at the tall man at the door and called out obediently, "Cheng Huai, I'm fine."

Then Cheng Huai turned around and walked in, took the wooden basin to the side, moved a stool and sat down, began to bend down to take off his shoes and socks, and started to wash with Jiang Miao's footwashing water just now.

Jiang Miao just took a look. The rough man had broad shoulders and a strong waist. When he bent over, his entire arms and waist looked majestic.

But when he was using her footwashing water, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Cheng Huai washed quickly, dried his feet, turned his head and found that Jiang Miao had been looking at him, and his chest became hot.

"Washing in this way saves water." He explained with a dry throat.

It was rare to hear him speak on his own initiative, Jiang Miao nodded immediately, and responded in line with his words: "It really saves water."

Cheng Huai didn't say any more, took the wound medicine prescribed by Li Langzhong and walked over, his expression returned to calm: "Change the medicine."

Jiang Miao stuck her head towards him, "Then I will trouble you, Cheng Huai."

The little girl obediently stretched her head over, and Cheng Huai's eyes flickered.

He bent down slightly, stretched his hands behind her head to untie the gauze, and his body naturally got closer to Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao raised her head subconsciously, her eyes touched his slightly dark and flushed cheeks, her eyelashes fluttered involuntarily, and she held her breath.

The breath on the man's body was clean and pleasant, without the smell of sweat as imagined.

His eyes are serious, and the scar on his forehead doesn't look scary.

After untiing the gauze, Cheng Huai began to sprinkle the medicine. Jiang Miao raised his head in cooperation and closed his eyes to prevent the medicine from falling into the eyes.

The woman's cheeks were fair and her lips were glossy. Cheng Huai's eyes darkened. After spraying the medicine, he quickly wrapped the gauze around her head.

"Go to bed early." He packed up the wound medicine and gauze beside him, and put them on the cabinet.

Looking at his slowing back, Jiang Miao couldn't help asking curiously: "Cheng Huai, where do you sleep tonight?"

Cheng Huai opened the low cabinet and took out a thin quilt from inside, his expression didn't change much: "On the ground."

He didn't know where to dig out another straw mat, spread it on the ground, covered it with a quilt, and lay down silently.

The room became quiet, and Jiang Miao didn't speak again, and lay down with the quilt pulled.

Although there was one more person in the room, she slept surprisingly soundly, and she seemed not at all worried about what Cheng Huai would do to her.

On the second day, Jiang Miao woke up feeling much better, not as weak as before.

Cheng Huai went up the mountain early in the morning. Yu Ying was afraid that the strange man would come again yesterday, so instead of washing clothes, she dried wild vegetables at home.

Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao had also woken up. After eating the rice cereal, Yu Ying put them in the fence and let them play by themselves.

Seeing Jiang Miao, Cheng Dabao's eyes lit up, he put his hands on the ground, got up from the ground with his buttocks pouted, and quickly took small steps towards her with his short legs.

"Mother! Mother!"

Cheng Xiaobao also reacted immediately, got up and ran after him, his voice was loud and clear: "Mother!"

Jiang Miao had almost accepted this identity, bent down and carried Cheng Dabao out of the fence, and then carried Cheng Xiaobao out as well.

The two babies looked small, but they held solidly in their hands. Jiang Miao squatted down, and each of them patted his buttocks. The two babies immediately smiled like flowers.

Both of them hugged Jiang Miao's neck, this time they looked at Jiang Miao's face motionless, and whispered obediently and softly: "Mother~"

Looking at the two big boys, Jiang Miao pinched their cheeks, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with being a stepmother directly, and there was no need to regenerate.

"Girl Miao is awake!"

Jiang Miao turned her head and called, "Mother."

Yu Ying came out from the kitchen, waving quickly: "Come and drink this medicine, mother is about to call you."

Looking at the dark medicinal soup, Jiang Miao couldn't help but wrinkle her face.

Traditional Chinese medicine is good, but it is too bitter. Drink it twice a day, and your mouth will be bitter for a day after drinking it.

"What's the matter, do you find it bitter?" Yu Ying looked at her jokingly.

Jiang Miao shook her head, quickly hugged the bowl, raised her head and felt bored.

It would be nice to have some medicine to drink, she has no right to be picky with her current body.

Watching Mother drink the medicine, Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao's faces twisted accordingly.

They also drank the medicine, it was so bitter, my mother drank it in one gulp, my mother is really amazing!
The two cubs looked at Jiang Miao with adoring eyes.

"Mother, I'm done drinking." Jiang Miao took a long breath, trying to relieve the bitter taste in his mouth.

Yu Ying took the bowl with a smile and didn't expose it, "Then you stay here and watch Dabao and Xiaobao, and continue to lie down when you're tired."

Jiang Miao nodded, and led Dabao and Xiaobao to the vegetable garden on the right. Yesterday she took a quick look at the three-row field, planted one row of eggplants and two rows of pot beans, but they were all shabby, and they looked the same. Thin and dry, which is caused by lack of water.

The drought in the great dynasty is really getting worse.

She must save enough money before the famine strikes, so that the family can live well.
