delicious farm girl

Chapter 13

As soon as it was dawn outside, Su Ran woke up.

At this time every day, Brother Quan and Brother An would get up and go to school.She will also start cleaning the house, preparing breakfast for her brothers, and then going to work in the fields and vegetable garden.Over time, she has become used to opening her eyes at this time every day.

Although she still feels sleepy now.

Besides, she didn't remember either.

Although the body was only covered with a thin layer of quilt, it was warm inside the quilt, much warmer than when the charcoal basin was lit at home.This warmth came from behind, and a pair of strong arms hugged her from behind, making her feel like she was in the middle of a stove... No, this warm feeling is much more comfortable than warming up !
Su Ran really wanted to immerse herself in such a warm feeling for the rest of her life without waking up.

However, she only moved a little, and the man behind her woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in the man's eyes.Although Su Ran didn't see it, she suddenly felt a chill enveloping her from head to toe.But immediately, the chilly feeling in the bones disappeared.

She turned her head quickly, and saw Li Er's cold face again.Although he had just woken up, there was no trace of sleepiness on his face, nor was there any emotion in his dark eyes.

After all, they are newlyweds, and now the two are hugging each other in such a posture, Su Ran's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly lowered her head: "You are awake."

"En." Li Er replied in a low voice, and immediately lifted the quilt and got up to get dressed.

As soon as the others left, Su Ran immediately felt that the quilt became cold again.She quickly got up too, grabbed the clothes at the head of the bed and hurriedly put them on.

It was only when the two of them had skin-to-skin contact last night that she finally understood what the man said.

"Can you bear it?"

I remember he asked that question at the time.After all, on the eve of the wedding, Mrs. Huang deliberately drove Quan Geer and An Geer out, quietly took out a yellowed picture album from a box, stuffed it into her hand, and said to her: "Tomorrow night, you and Li Two, just follow the things in this picture book. My daughter’s family felt uncomfortable the first time, so you grit your teeth and get through it.”

She nodded foolishly, saying that she could bear it.After all, mother said, all women have to go through this.

In the end, when this man took action, she didn't know what he meant by being able to bear it!
Thinking about what happened last night, she still couldn't help trembling.Especially now that her sore body is repeatedly reminding her what this man did to her last night.

Although it was winter, the clothes on Li Er's body were only so thin that there was nothing to hold them.After putting on the clothes three times and two times, he turned around and saw Su Ran grinning and stretching his arms into the sleeves bit by bit.

He immediately walked over and wrapped her tightly with the quilt.

Su Ran didn't understand what he wanted to do. "It's dawn, and I have to go to work!" she whispered.

"You rest." Li Er said.

This time, Su Ran didn't listen to him.She pushed the quilt away: "No, I have to make breakfast!"

No matter how the man reacted, Su Ran insisted on gritting her teeth and getting dressed, then slowly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and moved out little by little.

Seeing that she was so disobedient, Li Er's eyes darkened, but he didn't stop her again.

He went outside to fetch a basin of water from the well, and after the two of them washed their faces, Li Er silently picked up the broom and began to clean up the mess in the yard.Su Ran saw that he was sweeping much better than herself, so instead of making trouble there, she turned and went into the kitchen.

There are still piles of unfinished meals from yesterday's wedding banquet in the kitchen.The banquet held in the village is all about wine and meat. If there is a little bit of oil, that would be the best!Therefore, the leftovers left in the small tank are all oily, and there are several big pieces of fat sticking out, which can arouse the appetite of those peasants.

But Su Ran frowned, and turned around to open the cupboard, only to find that there was a large bowl of brown rice left over from yesterday's banquet, and nothing else.

After thinking about it, she raised the stove, added water to the pot and put it on the shelf.After the water boils, pour the brown rice into it and cook it into porridge.Then go to the stove to light the fire, cut a cabbage and stir-fried it, then scooped out some leftovers from the small pot, squeezed out the fat meat, skimmed off the layer of oil floating on the top, and heated it in a pan.

Two dishes and one porridge are ready, and Li Er has already cleaned up the yard outside.

Then, with a creak, Mr. Yuan's door opened, and he also got up.

Stretching out, he saw Su Ran and Li Er who were already busy, and he was taken aback for a moment: "Why do you get up so early? Didn't I tell Li Er that there are no elders in the family, so I don't need to do it in the morning?" Who are you offering tea to, take a good rest, and wake up after getting enough sleep."

Su Ran and Li Er fell into silence for a while.

When I was in the Su family, Su Ran was the most taciturn one.But fortunately, there are mother and younger brother by her side, and they can help her talk.But now, Li Er is obviously more silent than her.So now, only she will speak.

Su Ran raised her head: "We are used to it."

After hearing this, Mr. Yuan could only smile helplessly. "Well! Habits are a hard thing to change."

Su Ran hurried back to the kitchen and poured a pot of hot water from the stove.However, as soon as the water was brought to Mr. Yuan, Li Er took the basin over.

"This is wash water for Mr. Su Ran." Su Ran said hurriedly.

"He takes cold water." Li Er said, holding her hand and putting it into the hot water basin.

It was still early, and the snow outside had not yet melted, so of course it was still too cold.Su Ran was busy inside and out for a long time, her back was already hot, but her hands were exposed all the time, but they were frozen cold again.And the chilblains on my hands also started to turn red, hot and itchy.

When the hand fell into the hot water, the feeling of heat and oxygen on the hand immediately faded a lot, and Su Ran did feel much more comfortable.

It's just that there was a trace of worry on her face. "But sir..."

"It's okay, Li Er is right. I have been using well water to wash my face all these years, and I can do it myself. You don't have to wait on me in the future!" Mr. Yuan waved his hand quickly, and went to the well to fetch a bucket of water by himself. Come up, it's just washed like this.

He looked frail, but when he touched the cold water, he didn't show any discomfort.Just like Li Er just now, it seems that he can't feel the temperature of the water.Or, is it because they have been used to it for so many years?

But seeing that Mr. Yuan is really used to doing things by himself, Su Ran secretly took note of this matter.After soaking her hands for a while, she quickly took the basin from Li's second hand, then turned around and went into the kitchen to bring out the breakfast.

Looking at the steaming brown rice porridge and fried cabbage, Mr. Yuan praised her happily: "Sister Su, how do you know that I want to drink some hot porridge and light and refreshing side dishes right now? The things at the banquet yesterday were so delicious. It's greasy, it's so greasy, I still felt uncomfortable lying in bed last night. I was thinking about drinking more water later, but you made these things that are just right for me!"

After boasting, he came to his senses: "I'm sorry, it was easy to say for a while, but now I should call you sister-in-law instead. Li Er and I came to Wushan Village together and have supported each other until now. On the face of it, Everyone thought he was my servant, but he didn't sell himself to me. I have always respected him as a brother. Now, you are also my sister-in-law!"

Mr. Yuan opened his mouth and called Li Er his brother, so it's useless for Su Ran to say anything else now.What's more, these days, she has already experienced Mr. Yuan's sharp tongue, and someone as stupid as her must not be able to speak against him.

So she just looked back at Li Er, seeing that he had no objection to this matter, she lowered her head and admitted.

Serving a bowl of porridge for each of the three people, Mr. Yuan immediately drank the porridge and started eating two dishes.While eating, he also praised Su Ran: "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is really good! It is the same brown rice, such ordinary Chinese cabbage, and even such greasy meat dishes, but why did you make them after your hands? It’s so delicious? I feel more comfortable now than I had the banquet yesterday! Li Er, don’t you think so?”

Li Er glanced at him silently, then lowered his head and continued to drink the porridge, but the chopsticks in his hand did not miss the two dishes.After a short meeting, his porridge bowl was empty, and almost half of the plate of Chinese cabbage had been wiped out.

"This guy, don't talk about it, but his hands are pretty fast!" Mr. Yuan saw it, and quickly flew up his chopsticks to grab him.

It didn't take much time, a big pot of brown rice porridge, and two dishes were eaten by these two people.

This is the food intake of Su Ran's family of four for at least three days.

After eating, Mr. Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and stretched his waist in satisfaction: "It's different to have a woman in the family. From now on, I don't have to eat boiled noodles and raw rice anymore. !"

Then, he smiled at Su Ran again. "I'm sorry, there were only two of us in the family before, but neither of us knew how to cook. Those days were really hard. If it weren't for the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village who occasionally helped us and gave us some food, We really want to torture ourselves to death! But fortunately, now that you are here, our good days are finally here! Li Er, are you happy?"

In response to his question, Li Er remained silent.

It was only then that Su Ran realized that these two seemingly extraordinary people in the village actually had such a miserable life in private!

She couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth upwards. "In the future, doing laundry and cooking will of course be my business."

"Great! Then I'm completely relieved!" Mr. Yuan clapped his hands quickly, "Okay, I've worked hard on you this morning. But in fact, there's nothing else going on in this room. Go back and rest after you finish eating! Have a good rest for a day, Also by the way, get ready to go back home tomorrow."

Then, he winked at Li Er again. "At least you should be gentle with your daughter-in-law! The little girl is so sweet, don't you know how to be gentle?"

Li Er turned his head away, put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and walked out.

Su Ran didn't know what was going on, her face suddenly turned red, she quickly stood up, and went out with Li Er.
