Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

After dinner, just as Yang Chong was about to clear the dishes, Yu Xiu immediately jumped up: "Brother, sit down. You've been busy for so long. It's my turn to do some work. Otherwise, I'm going to be spoiled by you."

As he said this, he quickly cleared the dishes on the table and went to the kitchen.

There was already hot water in the pot on the stove. Yu Xiu could tell at a glance that she was someone who often worked at home. She washed the dishes skillfully and also cleaned the rice pot and vegetable pot.

Even the stove and the chopping board were wiped clean by her.

After cleaning up the kitchen, she brought back a basin of hot water: "Brother, it's cold, warm your feet so you can sleep better at night."

As he said that, he took the initiative to take off the shoes on Yang Chong's feet.

But Yang Chong stopped her, stood up, pressed her down on the stool and said, "Girl, wash first."

As he said that, he took off the shoes on Yu Xiu's feet.

Yu Xiu's face flushed red all of a sudden, and she pulled her feet back vigorously: "Brother, you wash it, I already washed it when I took a shower just now."

However, Yang Chong still persisted in pulling her little feet over and taking off her shoes.

The moment she took off her shoes, Yang Chong finally understood why she was hiding.

It turned out that Yu Xiu's feet were covered with traces of frostbite and cracks. Since leaving her hometown half a year ago, she had been sleeping in the open air all the way, especially in the cold winter, she had to stay in the wild and broken houses, and her body was covered with frostbite.

Yang Chong's eyes were red. How much suffering had this thin body endured? He gently stroked the wound on Yu Xiu's foot and said distressedly, "Does it hurt, Xiu'er?"

When Yu Xiu saw his expression, she said awkwardly, "Brother, it's okay. I'm used to it. It doesn't hurt."

She said it didn't hurt, but when Yang Chong grabbed her little feet and gently put them into the basin of hot water, she couldn't help but let out a slight hiss and pulled her feet back.

Yang Chong looked at the little foot with heartache, and gently used his hand to scoop hot water onto it. After she slowly got used to it, he gently put it back into the basin, and then gently rubbed the frostbitten area with his fingers: "Girl, soak your feet in hot water before going to bed at night, so that the frostbite will heal faster."

Yu Xiu hummed, her eyes already moist.

He kept washing his feet for more than an hour. When the water got cold, he added hot water, and when it got cold again, he added more. Yang Ping'an also kept rubbing the frostbitten area gently with his fingers.

"Soak in hot water for a while longer every day and you will heal faster," said Yang Chong.

Yu Xiu didn't say anything, but just kept looking at him.

After washing Yu Xiu's feet, Yang Chong also washed his own. After all, he had been running all day and soaking in hot water made him feel refreshed.

Yu Xiu had made her bed early and was lying in the quilt, watching him quietly like a kitten.

After he finished washing his feet and poured the footbath water, he returned to the bed and immediately came over to him obediently and hugged him tightly.

"Brother, come on, I want to be your real wife." Yu Xiu whispered softly in his ear.

Yang Chong did not hesitate, nor did he act like a saint. He lowered his head and kissed her gently.

At the same time, both hands began to gently peel off the loose coat on Yu Xiu's body.

This is my woman, and everything I do is natural.

Yu Xiu's body was trembling slightly, but she still responded to his every move without hesitation.

That night, the rain was sudden and the wind was light, orioles were singing and swallows were chirping, and crabapple petals were falling all over the ground.

The next day, the neighbors of the courtyard were surprised to find that Yang Chong, who usually got up earlier than the chickens, did not open the door even when the sun was high in the sky.

"This child must have been too tired last night and couldn't get up." Uncle Wang said to Aunt Wang with a smile.

Aunt Wang chuckled: "You're still laughing at others. You weren't much better than them back then."

When Jia Zhang, who had just come out of the door, heard these words, she turned her head towards Yang Chong's door and was about to spit fiercely.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound, the door opened, and Yang Chong walked out.

Jia Zhang was about to spit out but it was too late to take it back, so she could only lower her head quickly.

"Pooh!"

A mouthful of thick phlegm landed right on the surface of his cloth shoes.

Jia Zhang was so anxious that she squatted down and wiped it with her hands.

But instead of wiping the shoes clean, they got all over my hands.

Aunt Wang and her husband looked at her in surprise, not knowing what was going on.

Yang Chong didn't even look at Jia Zhangshi, and greeted Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang with a smile: "Good morning, Aunt, good morning, Uncle."

Aunt Wang smiled and nodded, looking behind him: "Where's Xiu'er? Hasn't she gotten up yet? Let her sleep a little longer and have a good rest."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Xiu came out: "Good morning, auntie, good morning, uncle!"

Aunt Wang was surprised and asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? Why are you getting up so early?"

Yu Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, auntie, I woke up a long time ago. I couldn't fall asleep after hearing someone talking in the yard."

She woke up a long time ago, but just lay in bed looking at Yang Chong and didn't want to get up.

After wandering for so long, this was the first time she had such a warm bed and someone to rely on. If Yang Chong hadn't urged her, she really wanted to sleep all day.

It was only when Yang Chong said that he would take her to the street office to get a letter of introduction today, and then to the office to register for marriage, that she got up.

Although she was comfortable in bed, she knew which was more important when she thought about getting married to Chongge and becoming his wife in the future.

Aunt Wang smiled and took Yu Xiu's hand and said, "What a pretty girl! Chongzi has found a treasure this time. Xiu'er, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go to Aunt's room and eat."

Yang Chong said, "No, auntie, you and uncle can eat first. We still have to go to the street office to get a letter of introduction. If we go too late, it will delay things."

Aunt Wang heard this and said, "A letter of introduction? That's a serious matter and can't be delayed. So go quickly. The sooner you get the letter of introduction, the sooner you can register and have a fat boy next year."

Yu Xiu blushed, and Yang Chong pulled her hand: "Then Auntie, we'll go first."

The two people left the courtyard, but Yang Chong did not go to the neighborhood committee first. Instead, he took Yu Xiu and walked towards the breakfast stall on the street.

Although supplies have been scarce in the past two years, breakfast in the old city is still very rich.

There is everything available, including fried dough rings with bean juice, small fried pancakes with soy milk and pickles, fried liver, noodle tea, mutton offal soup, pancakes, and braised steamed buns.

However, there were not too many people eating breakfast. The weather was a bit cold, and those who were eating breakfast all hunched their necks.

"Xiu'er, what would you like to eat?" Yang Chong asked.

Yu Xiu looked at this and that, her mouth was watering, but she still shook her head: "Brother, don't waste this money. It's okay to skip breakfast. Let's go get a letter of introduction first."

Yang Chong shook his head: "Of course I have to get a letter of introduction, but I have to eat breakfast too. Otherwise, when we go to the street office later and get a letter of introduction, if your stomach growls again, people will say that I married a wife but I didn't want to let her eat. Look how hungry she is."

Yu Xiu was so amused that she burst out laughing.

Yang Chong did not ask her any more questions and took her to the braised pork and steamed bun stall next to him: "Boss, give me two bowls of braised pork, and add more large intestines."
