A Good Country Wife

Lin Yue knew exactly why Zhao Erhu said that, a warm and contented smile playing on her lips. This man always moved her so unexpectedly, making her fall for him even more unconsciously.

"Wife, you go to sleep first. I’ve been busy outside all day, I should wash up first. Otherwise, I reek," Zhao Erhu hadn’t been so particular before, but with a delicate and cleanliness-loving little wife at home, who wouldn’t embrace him if he smelled, he had no choice but to change his habits. Even if it was too cold to take a bath, he would at least clean himself thoroughly every day, and it had now become a habit. If he didn’t do so, he would feel uncomfortable himself, so he somewhat understood the feeling his little wife had initially. The habit of being clean was quite good.

While Zhao Erhu went to wash up, Lin Yue got up and ladled the soup that was stewing in the kitchen into a bowl and brought it to the room. She let it cool for a while so that Zhao Erhu could drink it after his bath.

When Zhao Erhu returned to the room after his bath, he smelled the scent of chicken soup and saw the chicken soup on the table that his wife had put there for him.

"Zhao Erhu, hurry up and come drink the soup. The food at the old house isn’t good, and it doesn’t fill you up. You only ate a few scallion pancakes during the day. That little nutrition isn’t enough for a big man. Hurry up and drink the chicken soup. I’ve stewed it all night, the chicken in it is tender, and the flavor is rich now. Try it and see if it tastes good?"

"I don’t need to say that chicken soup stewed by my wife is definitely delicious. But wife, I can’t drink so much in such a big bowl. You drink half of it first, and then give the rest to me." Whenever there was something good, Zhao Erhu never wanted to eat it first, always looking out for Lin Yue first, even knowing that Lin Yue must have already had some. This was for himself, and Zhao Erhu was still the same—eating more good things was never bad, just right to nourish his little wife’s body.

Lin Yue also knew Zhao Erhu’s habit well. If she didn’t drink, Zhao Erhu would nag and coax for a while, so she specially filled such a big bowl. Hearing what Zhao Erhu said, she picked up the bowl and took several big sips before putting it down.

"Zhao Erhu, I’ve drunk so much, I can’t drink any more. You finish the rest."

Seeing that Lin Yue obediently followed his words and drank the chicken soup, Zhao Erhu felt very satisfied with the results of his ’training’ of his little wife. He grinned and picked up the bowl, finishing the remaining soup and chicken meat.

Having been busy all day, both of them were extremely tired, and by this time, they had no energy to do anything else, not to mention that during such days, they wouldn’t engage in certain activities. There were always some taboos and rules, so Zhao Erhu honestly cuddled with Lin Yue and slept through the night, needing to get up early the next day.
