sweet wife little confused

Chapter 13
In the afternoon, Zhang Zhen'an went fishing again, while An Xiu'er was doing housework alone at home. She swept the yard clean, put some things away in separate categories, tidied up the room, wiped the tables and chairs, After washing the cups and saucers, I found out some of Zhang Zhenan's clothes in the cabinet.

An Xiu'er felt that he was not a sloppy person from the outside, but he didn't know how to take care of his clothes. His clothes were thrown in a mess in the cabinet. An Xiu'er turned them all out one by one, and another The pieces were inspected, and those with holes and patches were put aside, and the others were refolded and put in.

Zhang Zhen'an doesn't know how to sew clothes, so the crooked patches are very ugly, An Xiu'er plans to take them apart again and help him sew them up again.

In the past, if he didn't have a wife, others wouldn't say anything. Now that he has a wife, even the clothes he wears are crooked. Others would laugh at him, and even criticize her.

However, there were quite a lot of these clothes. Seeing that it was getting late, she only sewed one or two pieces. Thinking that Zhang Zhenan would be back soon, she was afraid that he would have nothing to eat, so she put down the clothes and hurried to cook.

I have already cooked the rice at noon, so I just need to heat it up at night. As for the dishes, they are also simple. She still fried a wild vegetable and found two eggs to fry. The two simple dishes are ready. .

She was actually very curious about what Zhang Zhenan ate on weekdays. She felt that there was no food at home except fish, not even a pot of sauerkraut.

This is not possible, this is the time when green leaves are not harvested, there is no sauerkraut, and it is not enough to eat wild vegetables every day, she plans to go to the mountain to dig some bamboo shoots tomorrow, and she has to ask Zhang Zhenan if there is any land at home, and if so, it is time to hoe the land The seeds have been sown, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat.

Keeping these things in mind one by one, after dinner at night, An Xiu'er said to Zhang Zhen'an, "Sir, does our family have a vegetable plot?"

Zhang Zhenan shook his head after hearing An Xiuer's words, "No." In the past, he was alone, a boat, and a thatched hut, which was enough, but now he has an extra wife, and he doesn't even have a vegetable field. I feel a little ashamed.

"Then what do you eat on weekdays, Mr. An Xiuer?" An Xiuer frowned slightly, "Could it be that you eat fish every day?"

"That's right." Zhang Zhenan shook his head and said, "Sometimes when I go to the town, I will buy some vegetables along the way, or the surrounding villagers will exchange some vegetables with me when they want to eat fish."

"So that's how it is." An Xiu'er said thoughtfully, "But it's a waste of money to go to the town to buy it every day, and it's not convenient to wait for others to come and exchange it with you. I think we still need a piece of our own. The vegetable plot does not need to be very large, but at least there should be one, so that we can grow whatever we want, how convenient it is.”

"You're right." Zhang Zhen'an nodded and said, "After a while, when I have saved money, I'll buy a piece of land to grow vegetables."

"That's not necessary." An Xiu'er smiled slightly, and said, "I just looked at it. Isn't there an open space in the backyard of our house? We cultivated it ourselves, and we can have a vegetable field without spending money." .”

"That's a good idea." Zhang Zhen'an nodded slightly, thinking that this is a good idea, but unfortunately I'm not a good farmer, it seems that I have to learn to farm in the future.

"Then we'll make a deal like this." An Xiu'er's eyes were filled with longing, and she said, "When the time comes, the fence in the yard will be wider, and we can raise a few more chickens. What do you think?"

"Very good." Zhang Zhenan replied, in fact, he is not good at this, and he has no intention to do it.

"Then we'll start to reclaim the vegetable fields in a few days." An Xiu'er is a person who does what she says, and she wants to make this home gradually warmer.

Seeing her very excited, Zhang Zhen'an looked full of anticipation, so he didn't want to say something depressing, so he just went to mend his fishing net silently.

If it wasn't for easy sales, he wouldn't even need a net for fishing, just use a fork, which is so convenient.

An Xiu'er saw him going to catch fishing nets, watched him for a while, then went to work on her own affairs, cleaned up the kitchen, boiled water, washed her face and took a bath, after tidying herself up, it was getting dark and it was time to go to bed. It was still early, so she lit the oil lamp and took out the unfinished clothes in the afternoon to mend again.

In the evening, Zhang Zhen'an mended the fishing net and cleaned himself up. He sat at the door for a while, guessing that An Xiu'er should be asleep, so he opened the door and walked in. Unexpectedly, she hadn't rested yet.

"Why are you still up so late?" Zhang Zhenan walked over and asked.

An Xiu'er lowered her head and bit off the end of the thread with her teeth, then she raised her head and said, "I want to finish my work before going to bed. You work hard during the day, so go to sleep first." She was about to stand up from the bed, Sit on the stool.

Zhang Zhen'an stretched out his hand to stop her, and said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy." After speaking, he sat on the stool by himself.

Poured himself a glass of water and drank it. Zhang Zhenan was playing with the glass with one hand. Although his eyes were looking out of the window, he was always attracted to the woman who was earnestly mending his clothes.

Obviously he is a little afraid of light, but it is probably because the light is dim and not strong, but the dim yellow color makes people feel warm and want to get close.

This was the last piece of clothing, and there was already a large stack beside her, I saw that she carefully cut and removed the thread from the clothing, and then re-stitched it, stitching it up stitch by stitch.

Zhang Zhenan focused on the clothes, he was a little shy, he was not a person who could sew clothes, but sometimes the clothes were accidentally torn, and he didn't want to buy them, so he just sewed them up casually, now look at the place where he sewed It's really ugly.

An Xiu'er sewed very seriously, with fine stitches and the same color of thread, if it wasn't for his good eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this place had been torn. Those ten fingers are white and tender, so she should be a pampered girl at home.

Looking up, she saw her fair neck and slender chin. Her expression was extremely serious and focused. She didn't raise her head until he looked at it for a long time. He quickly moved his eyes away. An Xiuer noticed When he just looked at this side, he remembered that his eyes were injured and he couldn't see the strong light, so he said, "Is the light too bright? Then I will make it smaller."

As he spoke, he took out a needle from the sewing box, pressed the lead wire under the lamp oil, leaving only a little lead wire outside, and the inside of the room became much darker in an instant, and the swaying lamp shadow was like beans, as if it was about to explode at any time. The same goes off.

"Is it okay to be so bright?" She raised her head and asked him, as if he said no and just made it smaller.

"That's enough, the light is fine." Zhang Zhen'an replied, "It doesn't matter if you turn it on a little more."

Seeing that she ignored him, he said again: "If it's too dark, it's not good for your eyes."

"Are you concerned about me?" An Xiu'er's eyes lit up, and she said again: "It's okay, I have very good eyesight, I can see, anyway, it's just a little bit on my hand, it doesn't matter."

As she spoke, she wiped the needles with a handkerchief, and put them back into her basket.

The light was adjusted too dark by her, and there was a shadow when she took the needle, An Xiu'er had to be more careful, and her speed slowed down, Zhang Zhenan felt a little helpless when he saw her like this, he walked over, followed her He took out a needle from the bamboo basket in his hand, and picked out a large part of the wick.

The flame jumped out immediately, Zhang Zhenan quickly looked away, and when he looked at it again, he felt that his eyes were not as uncomfortable as before.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you turn the lights so bright all of a sudden." An Xiu'er was afraid that the light would be bad for Zhang Zhenan's eyes, so she quickly stood up, stretched out her hand to block his eyes, and said, "Don't be brave if you have bad eyesight, I You can see it, your eyes are injured, but you still want to adjust it so brightly, what if your eyes are really blind, what should you do?"

Her tone was anxious, with a hint of reproach. Seeing that she really cared about him, Zhang Zhenan couldn't help but feel a little more moved, so he reached out and pushed her hand away from his eyes, and said: "This light ,It's fine."

"How can it be all right? You should pay attention to it on weekdays, so that it will recover quickly." An Xiu'er picked up the needle and turned down the light again.

Seeing her bending down to fiddle with the light, Zhang Zhenan felt a faint warmth slowly soaking into his heart. After she adjusted the light and sat down, he asked: "If I am really blind, what about you?" what to do?"

"What should I do?" An Xiu'er laughed when she heard him ask, "Why do you ask like this? You are blind, but it's not me who is blind. I can still eat and wear the same clothes, and I can still see the world." , but you, what will you do in the future? You can't see this world, even if I take care of you, there will still be a lot of inconvenience."

As she spoke, she smiled again, and said: "So you must pay attention to protecting your eyes, you know? Of course, you don't have to worry too much. You usually wear a black gauze and a bamboo hat, and you came home. I'll warn you too, so you won't be blind."

Seeing her eloquently say a lot, Zhang Zhenan quickly extracted a sentence he wanted to hear from her useless words, "You just said that if I go blind, you will take care of me?"

An Xiu'er heard the words, and replied as a matter of course: "Of course, I am your wife now, if I don't take care of you, who else will take care of you?"

"But, you can choose to divorce with me and remarry." Zhang Zhenan said again, his voice low.

"So you are worried about this, so don't worry, I am not that kind of person, even if you are really blind, I will not abandon you." An Xiu'er comforted: "Don't think too much, don't be blind because of your eyesight. When you are low, you become violent, thinking that the world has failed you, but it is not the case, and there are so many people who are worse than you, and they are living well."

Zhang Zhenan heard An Xiuer's words, although he felt that she was nagging, but knowing that she cared about him, his tone became gentler, "You're right."
