Chapter 11(1/2)
The next morning, Chen Jiao felt a little embarrassed to look at Han Yue, because she felt different last night, and she was also a little fluttering in the last few strokes.
Just as he was about to get up and put on his clothes, Han Yue suddenly came in, scaring Chen Jiao quickly quenched into the quilt.
"Get up, the water will be cold in a while." Han Yue held a basin of freshly boiled hot water in his hand and looked at the little woman in the quilt.
Chen Jiao nodded her head.
Han Yue first went to put the washbasin, put it in, and walked out, his eyes fell on the red quilt on the kang, and he remembered the two quarters of the night.
I have to say that it is good to marry a wife.
He went to cook, Chen Jiao got up to dress, and saw the steaming basin of face washing water. Compared with what Han Yue did yesterday morning, she was in a good mood.
After dinner, Han Yue carried two jars of wine and two live chickens tied together to accompany Chen Jiao back to the door.
The Lin family is in the east of the village and the Han family is in the west of the village. All the way, you have to go around half of the village.
This is the first time Chen Jiao has appeared in the village after the rumors last year. Chen Jiao has never experienced these things. She is afraid of being pointed at by others, so she subconsciously followed her tall and tall husband and walked in his shadow.
"Yeah, Han Yue is going back to the door with his wife?" Someone greeted Han Yue with a smile.
Han Yue admitted generously.
The Han family and Lin family have a good reputation in Dawang Village. Most of the villagers they meet are very kind, and occasionally they speak a little badly. For example, Hu Quan, knowing that the couple will pass by the Hu family when they return to the door today, Hu Quan waited at the door early. When the two approached, Hu Quan deliberately stared at Chen Jiao: "Hey, Lin Jiao, you have such dark eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
His eyes were narrow and his tone was also dirty.
Chen Jiao was very angry and hid on the other side of Han Yue.
Han Yue looked at Hu Quan coldly.
Hu Quan was beaten by Han Yue, who was also young when he was a child. He knew that Han Yue was too impatient and this man would beat him, so he took some advantage of him, so he shut up and leaned against the door with his sleeve in his arms, stretched his neck to look at Chen Jiao.
"Is this kind of person in charge?"
After walking far, Chen Jiao asked angrily.
Han Yue looked at her strangely: "Have you scolded him many times before?"
Hu Quan was a mean person and wanted to tease him a few words when he met a beautiful girl. Han Yue ran into Hu Quan and Lin Jiao. Hu Quan said Lin Jiao had a big butt, and Lin Jiao said, "Your mother's butt is bigger. Go home to see you." The appearance of that little shrew is not worthy of her identity as a scholar's daughter.
Chen Jiao knew that he was talking about Lin Jiao, pursed her lips and said perfunctorily: "I have changed my swearing."
Han Yue really likes her current temper more. She is so coquettish that she no longer rolls her eyes and stares at others at any time.
But, he smiled and said, "Some people need to scold them."
Chen Jiao never scolded anyone. Seeing that the Lin family gate was ahead, she couldn't help but show joy.
Lin Boyuan, Tian family, and Lin Yu warmly welcomed the couple.
Chen Jiao sat in the upper room for a while, then Tian found an excuse to call her to the west wing.
"How is Han Yue treating you?" Tian asked with concern when he closed the door.
Chen Jiao thought about it and Han Yue was pretty good to her. Her family was so frugal. That night, she even picked up a bunch of shredded meat for her. The four of them had eggs in her bowl.
"Where is the evening?" Tian asked again.
Chen Jiao blushed. Han Yue looked very serious during the day and looked at him very seriously and had a black face at any time. But at night, although he didn't speak, his movements were very enthusiastic, especially last night, when it was dark, he seemed to have changed.
After asking about the secrets of the couple during their daily relationship, Tian finally asked, "Have he handed over the money from his family to you?"
Tian did not care about the Han family's money, but Han Yue asked his daughter to take care of the money. This is the key to the best of whether he treats his daughter well.
A trace of confusion flashed across Chen Jiao's face.
Tian immediately understood and comforted his daughter: "It's okay, don't worry, Jiaojiao, you just got married, and the couple is not familiar yet. He will ask you to take care of the money in a while."
Chen Jiao got married for the first time and had no experience. She asked her mother curiously: "Mom, when you got married with my father, how long did my father ask you to take care of the money?"
Tian coughed and whispered: "I'm different from your father. First, your grandmother took care of the money. It was my turn when she died. Fortunately, I had a dowry and didn't have to ask her for it."
Chen Jiao still didn't give up and decided to have the opportunity to ask Hongmei to see what Zhao Zhuang was like to Hongmei. If she couldn't even take care of Han Yue's money, then the distance would be even further for him to devote himself to it.
After talking about this, Chen Jiao mentioned Chunxing’s story.
Tian sighed: "If you don't want it, don't want it, mom is afraid that you will work hard."
Chen Jiao has accepted her fate, so it should be harder. It is better to go back and bury her for death if she fails.
In the final analysis, she still wants to survive more.
After returning from her parents' home, Han Yue began to teach Chen Jiao step by step.
The food at the farmhouse was tossed and turned, and Chen Jiao quickly learned it. Of course, the buns she made were not as good as Han Yue's, and the porridge she cooked was not as fragrant as Han Yue's. Han Yue was not very demanding. After confirming that Chen Jiao could make a meal that she could eat on her own, he kept his promise that as long as he and his second brother Han Jiang were at home, Chen Jiao would not have to do anything.
It was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was a lantern festival in the town at night.
Shortly after noon, Han Jiang greeted his brother and sister-in-law. He went to watch the lights at night and didn't have to make his supper.
Han Yue knew that his second brother must have gone to find Cao Zhenzhu. It was lively during festivals and festivals, and it was always a good time for young men and women to have private meetings.
"You can meet, don't touch me." Before leaving, Han Yue warned again.
Han Jiang smiled but said nothing. The elder brother had eaten meat and didn't understand their hunger.
"Let's go." He waved his hand and went to the appointment with brisk steps.
"Do you want to go?" Han Yue went back to the house and asked Chen Jiao, "The little girls may like to watch the lights."
Chen Jiao doesn't like to go out during the day, but she has been bored in the countryside for too long. The opportunity is right, so she also wants to go out for some breath.
Looking at her stingy newlywed husband who didn't care about her money, Chen Jiao tried to ask: "Will you go with me?"
Han Yue said directly: "Then let's have dinner and breakfast, and then set off after dinner."
Chen Jiao was happy. When Han Yue was cooking, she simply dressed up in front of the blurred bronze mirror.
After dinner, Han Yue cleaned the pot, Chen Jiao returned to the house and found a rabbit fur scarf she was dowed from the closet, and wrapped it tightly around her neck. It was cold at night. Although Chen Jiao always disliked the scarf as beautiful as the cloak, she was never willing to freeze herself.
After Han Yue came in after work, he saw the little woman standing in front of the mirror and looking left and right. He didn't feel so pretty when he saw him.
"Will you go like this?"
Facing Han Yue's teasing gaze, Chen Jiao pretended to care about him, but in fact she changed the subject.
Han Yue smiled and said, "It's not cold, let's go, my third brother is in charge."
Chen Jiao walked towards him and took two steps. Chen Jiao suddenly turned back, took out her purse and stuffed it into her cuff.
Han Yue frowned and said, "I brought the money, don't bring it, be careful not to lose it."
Chen Jiao heard another meaning. Although this man didn't ask her to take care of the money, he was willing to spend money for her.
She put her purse back into the cabinet.
The sun was about to set, and the west was filled with bright red clouds. The houses in the village were scattered, which looked much wider than the closed backyard of the Duke's Mansion. On the way to the town, there were villagers who wanted to see the lights in groups of three or three. There were a few couples like Han Yue and Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao walked slowly, and the couple was surpassed by the villagers later several times. Whenever someone passed by, both men and women would look back at Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao secretly lifted her scarf up, blocking her nose, revealing only a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Han Yue thought she was so cute, so cute that he didn't want to go to see the lights anymore. He just wanted to take her home, pulled off her scarf that blocked her face, and took off her thick cotton jacket...
It was so hot that the petite lady next to her suddenly tripped, scaring Han Yue to pull the person into his arms.
"Hey, it's not dark yet, what are you doing in front of you!"
The couple just hugged each other, and behind them, a villager whistled and cheered.
Han Yue hurriedly let go of the person and said, "Be careful when walking."
The villagers were still laughing, but he blamed her. Chen Jiao was unhappy and walked to the side and muttered, "I didn't ask you to help me."
Han Yue smiled angrily. He didn't help him. The hard-cold lady in the cold fell on her and she didn't even get a golden lump on the spot.
Because of this little accident, when we arrived in the town, neither of us spoke.
The small town is crowded with people from the surrounding villages, and it is bustling and lively.
The most common people are the most likely to cause trouble. Han Yue took the initiative to approach Chen Jiao and grabbed her hand.
The man's big hands were hotter than the Tang Pozi, so Chen Jiao didn't hide.
It was the first time I went out in the evening. Chen Jiao wanted to go around and didn't want to go around. She stood there stupidly and looked around. Han Yue took her to look at the pavilions on both sides of the main road one by one.
"Miss, let's have a lotus lantern? This one sells the best." The old man on the pavilion enthusiastically invited the guests.
Chen Jiao looked at the lotus lantern for a few more times.
Han Yue asked: "How much does it cost?"
The old man on the paver looked at Chen Jiao and smiled and said, "Ten Wen."
Han Yue sneered, thinking he didn't know the market? Such a lamp could be bought with five cents.
"There are also there, let's go and take a look." Han Yue said in a verbal voice when he pulled Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao said that he couldn't bear to leave money, and her little mouth covered by a scarf was unhappy. Who is he? Even Shiwen is reluctant to spend it for her.
"Hey, the lights over there are not as good as mine. In this way, I will sell you eight words!"
The old man in the paver hurriedly stopped the guests.
