"What are you doing?" Fang Nuo asked after being placed on the kang.
"Let me see if I hurt you last night," Shen Gongqi said anxiously, his hand moving towards her pants.
"No, no, don't come over here." Fang Nuo hurriedly moved to the kang, shouting words in his mouth, and people hurried away.
"Then why is there blood on the sheets? He must be injured. It's all my fault. Just let me take a look." Shen Gongqi asked with a look of self-blame.
After hearing what he said, Fang Nuo suddenly understood what the blood stains were.
But she couldn't explain that it was something to prove her innocence. She could only say: "I'm really not hurt, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
"Really?" Shen Gongqi obviously didn't believe it.
In the end, Fang Nuo couldn't explain it, so he could only shyly let her check it out, and then he felt relieved.
After waiting for someone to look at it, she kicked him away, quickly pulled up her pants and said, "I just said no, I believe it this time."
At this time, Shen Gongqi was blushing with embarrassment. He was worried about his wife just now, so he didn't react for a while.
Fang Nuo kicked him, and he realized what he had just seen, and he was immediately ashamed.
"Get out, otherwise Yaya won't be able to see us for a while." Fang Nuo said after getting off the kang, and walked out without caring about him.
Shen Gongqi waited in the room until the blush on his face subsided before going out.
When Fang Nuo saw that he had come out and his face had recovered, he ignored him and continued to eat.
When Yaya saw the two people coming out, she started asking for the food she liked.
"Mom, Yaya wants cauliflower," little Yaya said
"You want broccoli, then wait, mom will rinse it with hot water, otherwise there will be chili on it," Fang Nuo said.
She didn't have to get up to pour the water. Shen Gongqi naturally got up and poured the water when he heard it.
Fang Nuo picked up a piece of broccoli, rinsed it in hot water to wash away the slight spiciness and some salt, and then tested it on his lips to make sure it wasn't hot before putting it on Yaya's small plate.
"Okay, let's eat."
After the meal, Shen Gongqi didn't say anything. After eating, he consciously collected the bowls and chopsticks and went to clean them.
When I came back, I saw Yaya playing by herself on the kang, while Fang Nuo was changing the sheets on the side.
Fortunately, when she made them, both sets were bright red, but the patterns on the quilts were different and the sheets were the same, so you couldn't tell the difference even if you changed them.
"Why did you change the sheets? Didn't they just change yesterday?" Shen Gongqi walked over and took the sheets from her hand and asked.
Fang Nuo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you say it was dirty? Change it and wash it."
"Oh, I'll wash it later. If you're still tired, go back and lie down." Shen Gongqi spread the sheets, took the sheets from her hand and went out.
Fang Nuo didn't care about him. He was still a little unlucky, so he took Yaya to play on the kang for a while.
After Shen Gongqi washed the sheets and came in to take Yaya away, she lay down and slept for a while.
Two days after the two got married, they rested at home one day. The next day, Shen Gongqi invited two elder brothers from the village to tear down the wall between the two yards.
After removing the soil and stones, Shen Gongqi also asked them to build a two-way shed between the two houses so that they could pile some firewood in the future.
In this way, the houses in the yard became a row. Fang Nuo's family lived in the three newly built houses. One of the two houses on the other side was used as a kitchen, and the other one was used as a room for storing sundries.
In the summer, you can cook in the shed at the door of the new house, and in the winter, you can do it in the kitchen of the old house.
After two days, they started working.
Fang Nuo didn't come back because her mother's family was not here.
On the first day of work after their marriage, the two arrived at the village committee early to divide work.
Fang Nuo told the team leader before her marriage that she would stop mowing grass and return to the fields to work with everyone.
That's why she appeared at the village committee today.
When the two of them got up in the morning, they first carried out Yaya who was still sleeping, so that no one would have to stay at home to watch her.
When Aunt Dahua came, she walked over with a smile when she saw the two of them and said, "Xiao Nuo, you are about to start work, why don't you rest for a few more days?"
"Good morning, Auntie, aren't we all busy at home? We've been wasted a lot of time this year. If we don't earn some work points, we won't be able to get much food for the autumn harvest," Fang Nuo replied with a smile.
"It's true, then you have to work harder. It's not long before the autumn harvest," Aunt Dahua said.
"Auntie, we know each other," Fang Nuo replied.
While the two were talking, Shen Gongqi stayed quietly aside with Yaya behind his back.
The two talked for a while, and Aunt Dahua asked Fang Nuo about how mature the melons she planted some time ago would be considered mature.
Only then did Fang Nuo remember that he should eat the watermelons and cantaloupes in his yard during this period.
During this period of time, she was busy making wedding clothes and didn't do much to take care of the vegetable patch in the backyard, so she didn't even know how the melons were growing.
Fang Nuo told Aunt Dahua a few points on how to confirm whether the melons were ripe, then turned to ask Shen Gongqi: "Have you seen the watermelons in our backyard?"
"I've seen it, and there are quite a lot of them. I water them all the time, so they should be ripe now," Shen Gongqi said.
"Then let's go back and pick a few to eat. It's so hot today, so we should eat a cold melon every day to quench our thirst," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, I will pick it when I get back," Shen Gongqi said
"Now that your yard is wider, you should be able to plant a lot of melons," Aunt Dahua asked.
"Not many. There are no seedlings behind the new house, so I didn't plant them. I only planted a few behind the old house and in front of me," Fang Nuo replied.
"There are so few. I have a lot of them planted in my yard. You can come and pick them yourself when the time comes," said Aunt Dahua.
"Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you, aunt," Fang Nuo replied with a smile.
After a while, the team leader and several village cadres came over and talked about the recent arrangements.
Due to the recent hot weather, many fields have dried out and cracked.
The captain and others saw that it would not rain that day, so they thought of arranging people to carry water to irrigate the fields.
Water is carried from the river across the village to the ground, and then poured onto the roots of the grain seedlings.
This job is divided between two people, with family groups taking priority in most cases.
Fang Nuo and Shen Gongqi were naturally assigned to the same group. They were supposed to exchange fetching water. Shen Gongqi was reluctant to let Fang Nuo go fetching it. When he got to the field, he said: "You will carry Yaya on your back later, and I will fetch water. You will fetch water." Water the seedlings”
"Okay, you're getting tired, let's change jobs, don't hold on by yourself," Fang Nuo said.
"Ok, I know"
After getting the pole and barrel from the field, Fang Nuo and Shen Gongqi separated first. He went to the river to fetch water, while Fang Nuo went to wait in the allocated field.
She wore a hat on her head, which she had sewn herself from light-colored cloth used for clothing.
On Shen Gongqi's head is a straw hat that she learned to knit from the village aunts. Although it's not very pretty, it can block the sun from shining on her face.
