Chapter 257 The Sickly Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 17
*
That night, just as it was getting dark, Yun Wu packed her things and prepared to take a shower. In the basin in her hand was the pink nightgown, ready for her to change into after taking a shower.
Just as she was about to enter the bathroom, her tall and strong husband came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes.
Yun Wu thought he would wait until she finished washing before washing, but unexpectedly he pulled a clean piece of clothing and a towel from the clothes rack nearby and walked towards her.
"The water is already boiled, you're wasting water by washing alone..."
Xu Xingzhou has been itching to get married these past few days, thinking that since she is the wife he married, they should be closer.
He looked at Yun Wu's fair and smooth face, then rolled his Adam's apple twice and said:
"So, I have to take a shower with you."
"Is that so?"
Yun Wu raised her eyes and asked in confusion, but she quickly reacted.
It was definitely not what Xu Xingzhou said, he just thought...
Yun Wu's face turned slightly red. She remembered that her sister-in-law Tong Hui had said that she shouldn't always spoil Xu Xingzhou. She immediately opened her pink lips and wanted to say something to refuse.
As a result, Xu Xingzhou took the lead and touched his head and said carelessly:
"I've been doing farm work all day. I should finish washing up and go to bed early. I won't do anything to you..."
Yun Wu thought of Xu Xingzhou sweating profusely in the fields during the day, and felt sorry for him.
The sweet and soft young wife bit her pink lips timidly, her brows revealing confusion, but she still nodded slightly in agreement.
"it is good……"
Yun Wu's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She knew that it was Xu Xingzhou's trick, but she did not refuse.
One reason was that they were husband and wife, and their marriage had not been finalized in the past few days. The other reason was that she... was not averse to Xu Xingzhou, and after getting along with him, she found that he was really a nice guy.
Although he spoke a little harshly sometimes, he really wanted to treat her well.
Xu Xingzhou was indeed quite "honest and decent", but when Yun Wu came out, she was still carried out by Xu Xingzhou.
It was unclear whether the blush on her cheeks was due to shyness or the heat.
The pink nightgown she was wearing was loose because it was not something she wore herself, but something Xu Xingzhou had to help her wear...
Yun Wu originally wanted to go out by herself, but after being exposed to the heat for too long, she became weak and now felt dizzy and had no strength.
Xu Xingzhou picked her up and walked into the main house.
"Put me down."
Yun Wu's arms were loosely wrapped around Xu Xingzhou's neck. She looked at the handsome Xu Xingzhou with her bright eyes and said:
"You've worked all day, haven't you? You must be very tired. Don't hug me..."
"Don't worry about it, your man has plenty of strength!"
Xu Xingzhou said it bluntly, which made Yun Wu feel even more embarrassed and she shrank into Xu Xingzhou's arms.
Xu Xingzhou felt that the hard work was nothing. When he came back and got a little treat from Yun Wu, he immediately didn't feel tired anymore.
He could still carry his wife around the village several times, but the most urgent thing now was to go back to the house, so that no one would see his wife's current appearance.
It's very tempting.
Xu Xingzhou quickly carried Yun Wu into the main house. Just as Yun Wu sat down on the edge of the bed, she was pushed down by a heavy force.
Then the lights in the main house were turned off, and the atmosphere became much more lively.
But not long after, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the lights in the room were turned on again.
Yun Wu’s face was a little pale, and she was still wrapped in a bright red wedding quilt.
Xu Xingzhou was tidying up the bed sheets. He quickly replaced the dirty sheets with new ones, and then pressed them down with the quilt on Yun Wu's body.
That's because she suddenly had her period, those few days that come every month.
"I'll wash it myself later..."
Yun Wu said weakly that her stomach sometimes hurt during her period, and now her hands were covering her abdomen through the quilt.
"Just stay here and don't move."
Xu Xingzhou's voice did not allow for any argument. Not only did he put a pillow under Yun Wu's back, he also poured her half a cup of warm water from the kettle and handed it to her to drink.
Xu Xingzhou was surrounded by men in the army before, and he didn't know much about what happened when women had their periods.
But seeing that Yun Wu's face had turned pale, he was really worried, so he simply fetched some water and sat at the door of the house to wash the sheets.
Yun Wu drank two sips of hot water, but it did not relieve the pain much. Her slightly red eyes looked at Xu Xingzhou who was sitting on the small stool.
He lowered his head, frowned slightly, and scrubbed the sheets, his movements very hard.
"If I marry you, I will give you all the money I earn, cook for you, wash dishes for you, do your laundry, and serve you..."
Xu Xingzhou spoke as he scrubbed the floor. His voice was deep and powerful, and there was even a hint of grievance in his tone and expression.
"Humph, you won't even sleep with me."
He spoke bluntly, which made Yun Wu feel ashamed and embarrassed. It was not that she was unwilling to do it tonight, but she did not expect it.
Besides, besides, Xu Xingzhou is really... She thought she definitely couldn't bear it.
Xu Xingzhou worked very efficiently. He was very strong and washed the sheets in no time. Then he quickly hung them out on the rack in the yard to dry.
When he returned to the main house, Yun Wu was still leaning obediently on the bed.
Because of her physical discomfort, her eyes were a little red, and her bright eyes were full of water.
Xu Xingzhou felt distressed, but there was nothing he could do to help her share the pain. His tall and strong body slowly approached her.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Yeah, it hurts..."
Yun Wu's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her voice was soft, thin and tender.
She looked at Xu Xingzhou timidly, her red eyes looking pitiful.
"Tomorrow I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some brown sugar, ginger, and some red date cakes. I think they'll help me feel better."
Xu Xingzhou scratched his buzz cut in confusion, recalling where he had heard of a method that could provide some relief.
But there was no impatience in his eyes, instead he was thinking seriously about a solution.
"How much? I'll pay you back tomorrow..."
"What else can I give you?"
Xu Xingzhou frowned unhappily, and when he saw that his young wife was probably frightened by his expression, her shoulders trembled.
He quickly relaxed his expression, then lifted the big red wedding quilt and squeezed next to Yun Wu.
"Don't be so formal. You are my wife, and I am happy to spend money on you. You can spend as much as you want, but just don't spend it on finding other men."
Xu Xingzhou's two strong and powerful arms easily held the fair and clean little girl in his arms.
The two of them lay together on a bright red wedding quilt, resting their heads on pillows embroidered with festive mandarin ducks.
But Xu Xingzhou also thought that if Yun Wu found a strange man, it was not her fault. It must be someone who seduced her on purpose.
Yun Wu's face was originally pale, but when she was held in his warm arms, her complexion seemed to have recovered a lot.
