The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife

Li Changpu placed the things he bought on the box. There was a colorful pile, very conspicuous, and placed where he could reach.

Jiang Tingxia was not interested in those. They were just fruit biscuits after all. They were nothing special to her. She glanced at them and her attention was no longer on them.

Seeing that she looked down upon these things, Li Changpu's eyes darkened. If he had known that she looked down upon this small place, he would not have been angry. But he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart.

Both of them were in a bad mood. They ate dinner in silence and planned to rest. There were too many things to do in the past two days, catching mice and going to the hospital. In addition, both of them had a serious illness and were exhausted. Besides, there was no entertainment here, so they packed up and went to bed as soon as it got dark.

Jiang Tingxia pulled the curtain hanging in the middle of the kang, then got into bed and saw Li Changpu put the mousetrap he made on the ground, then took off his shoes and got on the kang.

Jiang Tingxia couldn't help but sigh.

Li Changpu stopped taking off her shoes. His first reaction was to wonder if she didn't want to lie on the same kang with him again. Then he heard Jiang Tingxia say, "You haven't washed your feet yet."

Hearing this, his face darkened and he asked in a stern voice, "Do you think I'm dirty?"

When we first met, the eldest lady's arrogant look gradually overlapped with the person in front of me now.

Jiang Tingxia didn't notice the change in his expression, so he hummed and explained, "You ran around outside a few times during the day, so you're not dirty."

"Besides, you should wash your face and feet before going to bed."

When Li Changpu heard her "hmm", the anger that had been accumulating in his heart suddenly exploded. Thinking of what had happened before, he returned her words without mercy.

He said coldly, "I am just a country bumpkin, I don't have so many requirements."

He had seen Grandpa Jiang, who went to the front line on crutches and donated a large amount of supplies to help them. Li Changpu himself had received the old man's kindness. He was injured and hospitalized at the time, and thanks to Grandpa Jiang's medical supplies, he was able to save his life. He was grateful for Grandpa Jiang's kindness and admired his character, but he did not expect that his granddaughter would give people a completely different feeling. The eldest lady had a pair of eyes on the top of her head, and she wore a head full of jewelry. She was tied up from head to toe with pearl chains. Li Changpu even felt that she made a jingling sound when she walked.

Later, Li Changpu accidentally heard her holding onto Grandpa Jiang and complaining in the corridor, "Grandpa, that man is just a country bumpkin, so rustic, you want me to marry him? I won't marry him."

"Look at the way he eats. I think he has never seen so many delicious things since he was born."

Miss Jiang's tone was full of contempt.

Mr. Jiang scolded her harshly.

After a while, Miss Jiang's sobbing could be heard, and she sobbed, "Anyway, I won't get married."

It was thought that the marriage was over, but unexpectedly, a few years later, news came that the marriage would go ahead as planned. However, by this time, Mr. Jiang had passed away, and the Jiang family was in a state of decline and was no longer as prosperous as before.

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family has already boarded the train to marry him, and was picked up at the station. This time, Miss Jiang was not wearing all kinds of jewelry, and she had also removed her thick makeup, so he could see her appearance clearly.

Not as annoying as he thought.

But her behavior was still the same as before, her eyes were on the top of her head, and she looked at him with the same disdain and contempt as before. I thought she would just go home, but I didn't expect her to persist until now...

Jiang Tingxia then figured out something different from his words. He seemed a little unhappy and angry.

Seeing Li Changpu's cold face, Jiang Tingxia felt uncomfortable and crawled into the quilt and said angrily, "It's up to you to wash or not."

"Who cares about you?"

Jiang Tingxia lay down and fell asleep. Anyway, his stinky feet were going to go into his own bed, so it was none of her business.

Jiang Tingxia wrapped herself in the quilt in a sullen mood, but she heard Li Changpu's footsteps. When he came to where Jiang Tingxia could see him, Jiang Tingxia turned around with a big movement and faced away from him.

At this time, the sound of wash basins colliding was heard behind him. His movements became more and more vigorous. He picked up the basin and scooped water... The heavy hitting sounds seemed like he was venting his dissatisfaction to Jiang Tingxia.

Jiang Tingxia couldn't stand it any longer, so she threw off the quilt and sat up. Her face flushed red, and she stared at the culprit with wide eyes, "If you don't want to wash, don't wash. I'm not forcing you."

Li Changpu didn't say anything, but took a half-basin of cold water and prepared to wash his feet.

Jiang Tingxia felt like punching cotton when facing the taciturn man. She was so angry that she wanted to punch him twice. It was just asking him to wash his feet before going to bed that he had to get so angry.

Jiang Tingxia glanced at him and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait a minute."

Jiang Tingxia's white and tender feet found her shoes on the ground, and she ran to Li Changpu anxiously and snatched the basin from his hand, "How can you use this to wash your feet! This is for me to wash my face."

Jiang Tingxia put away his wash basin and pointed to where the basins were placed. There were two identical basins stacked side by side. "This is mine, and yours is over there."

She took out a red basin from another pile of basins, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and explained, "Ours are the same. The red one is for washing feet, the white one with flowers is for washing face, and the pure white one is..."

Jiang Tingxia blushed and didn't continue.

Li Changpu was speechless for a moment. Whose family lives with seven or eight basins stacked high? What's wrong with washing your face and feet? It's all your own flesh, so why should we distinguish between high and low? Seeing her hesitating, he said, "If you have any request, please state it clearly at once to save trouble later."

When Jiang Tingxia heard his impolite tone of lecture, the blush on her face immediately faded, and the shyness had long since disappeared.

She glared at him and raised her voice angrily, "Ass washer."

After hearing this, Li Changpu's brain didn't react for a moment. When he knew what she was saying, his dark eyes shook, and he didn't dare to look at her, but his Adam's apple rolled unnaturally.

He was silent for a long while. Being interrupted like this, his temper completely subsided. His anger turned into embarrassment. After a long while, he managed to utter a syllable from his throat with difficulty, "...Oh"

Jiang Tingxia raised her head slightly and stared at his chin and said, "Mine and yours are for separate use. I don't care about your own things. Don't touch my things."

After saying this, he got on the kang, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep, silently swearing in his heart that if he meddled in his affairs again, he would be a dog.

Sleep until midnight

Jiang Tingxia heard a snap and then a squeaking sound. She thought of the mousetrap that Li Changpu had set before going to bed, and she was startled. The stinky mouse was finally caught.

She wanted to get up and turn on the light, but as soon as she moved her head, she heard Li Changpu's voice in the dark, "Don't move."

Then there was the rustling sound of someone putting on clothes. When he got down from the ground, he pulled the light cord. The light came on, and Jiang Tingxia saw a big, shiny black rat struggling in the mousetrap.

Li Changpu actually tried to catch it with his bare hands.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Tingxia asked.

Li Changpu stretched out his hand and said, "Throw it out."

Jiang Tingxia didn't care about the unpleasantness and asked in surprise, "Just take it with your hands?"

The two people were talking, and the mouse, perhaps frightened by seeing people, actually struggled to break free from the mousetrap. After screaming, it rolled on the ground a few times and tried to run away.

Li Changpu was quick to step on it.

After a "bang" sound, Jiang Tingxia screamed even more miserably than a mouse.

Li Changpu shouted, "Don't look."

Jiang Tingxia crawled under the quilt again, with only one thought in his mind: if he kicked the mouse, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys would be crushed to pieces, and there would be blood everywhere.

After a while, Li Changpu's voice sounded. He was very calm, "Okay."

Jiang Tingxia slowly opened his eyes, mustered up the courage to take a look, and found the ground was clean.

Li Changpu, who was usually taciturn, touched his nose and spoke for the first time, "Now I can sleep peacefully."

The two of them had a small quarrel before going to bed. Jiang Tingxia looked so angry that she didn't want to talk to him. Li Changpu lay on the kang, looking at the curtain between them. He didn't fall asleep until he caught the mouse. Jiang Tingxia asked him a few questions, and there was a hint that he had forgotten the unpleasantness. He spoke awkwardly now, trying to brush aside the unpleasantness.

But Jiang Tingxia didn't respond for a long time, because her mind was not here. Under this huge impact, she didn't remember the quarrel before going to bed. She just stared at Li Changpu's shoes. She couldn't help but said, "Throw the shoes out."

She felt that the rat's internal organs must be bloody and stuck to the soles of his shoes. She felt like vomiting just thinking about it. She said with a bitter face, "I'll buy you new ones."

Li Changpu let out a breath, his face turned pale, he took out another pair of shoes and put them on, then threw the pair on his feet away.

Jiang Tingxia looked at the man who was about to get on the kang and said tremblingly, "How about... wash your feet again."

Li Changpu paused, it was the same thing again, "Didn't I wash it just now?"

Jiang Tingxia frowned and said confidently, "But you stepped on a rat, which is disgusting."

Li Changpu was so angry at her that he felt suffocated. He didn't step on it barefoot, he was wearing shoes, and the shoes were thrown away, so why did he have to wash his feet again!

We just had an unpleasant argument over this matter. Why are we still making trouble again in the middle of the night?

Li Changpu turned over, scooped two buckets of cold water and washed himself casually, then stood up, rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his calves that had not been wiped dry. There were still a few drops of water hanging on his dark skin. The man's tone was one of helpless compromise, "Is that all right?"

Jiang Tingxia was finally satisfied, and the discomfort in her stomach disappeared a little. She also knew that she had caused trouble for Li Changpu, and she unconsciously put on a flattering smile on her face, "Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'll turn off the lights."

In the darkness, all she could think of was the painful and frightened squeaking of mice caught in mousetraps. She sighed, "Mice are pretty pitiful, too."

Li Changpu on the other side of the curtain was still awake. Without even opening his eyes, he simply turned over and turned his broad back towards Jiang Tingxia, speechless.

Jiang Tingxia kept chattering while looking at the ceiling.

"You're screaming so miserably, it hurts so much!"

She added, "It's a bit too cruel to step on him to death."

Li Changpu felt his blood boiling and thought he was cruel!

He sat up with a thud, "It's not that you can't stay with that thing. You kept refusing to sleep for days, saying that rats would eat your fingers and toes. You didn't sleep at night and didn't wake up during the day. You even sent yourself to the hospital. Now you're accusing me of being cruel."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Tingxia, you are great."

Jiang Tingxia's focus shifted again. She turned over and said through a thin curtain, "Li Changpu, why did you say so many words in a row?"

Li Changpu: ...

He said, "Shut up."

Li Changpu added, "Stop talking, go to sleep."

Jiang Tingxia looked at the dark shadow coming through the curtain and said weakly, "I was wondering if you could modify the mechanism and change the wire mesh into a piece of iron, like a big guillotine. This way the mouse can't escape and you can kill it right away."

Li Changpu looked at the rooftop, feeling speechless. Who was so cruel...

Jiang Tingxia's poisoning was not serious, and she recovered after a few days of rest. However, she encountered something that she didn't know how to talk about.

There was only one room where they lived, and of course there was no bathroom for Jiang Tingxia to take a bath, so she prepared a basin for cleaning. In the past, when she wanted to use it, she would wait until Li Changpu went to work and then close the door to clean. But now, because of her poisoning, Li Changpu stayed at home to take care of her for three days. During these three days, she had no chance to be alone at all.

After enduring for a few days, Jiang Tingxia finally couldn't accept herself being so dirty. That day, after washing her face and feet, she did not get into bed immediately as usual.

The small figure stood on the ground, glancing at Li Changpu from time to time, thinking about how to start the conversation.

Li Changpu was very observant and quickly noticed Jiang Tingxia's abnormal behavior. He was the first to ask, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Tingxia nodded.

She walked slowly to her basin rack, took out a pure white basin, and spoke in a low voice, "Can you go out for a while?"

In a flash, Li Changpu thought of the day when they had a quarrel over the use of a basin. The girl stared at him, her face flushed, and said crisply, "This is for washing..."

Li Changpu reacted quickly. He walked out the door without saying a word. When he walked out of the room, he heard a slight noise in the house.

It was Jiang Tingxia who followed him and closed the door.

Li Changpu walked a few steps forward, and when she was about to leave the courtyard, she stopped, thinking that it was not appropriate to leave a woman alone in the house. There were many people visiting the family compound, and it would be bad if someone came in.

So Li Changpu stood in the yard for a while and didn't go far.

As a soldier, he had excellent physique and, accordingly, very keen hearing. He heard the sound of a basin being placed on the ground. After a while, the sound of water came from the house. Some images that shouldn't have appeared appeared in his mind unconsciously...

Li Changpu looked up at the night sky, trying to divert his attention with the brilliant stars in the sky. However, his body began to feel hot and his breathing became heavier. How could he care about what the stars looked like tonight?

a quarter of an hour later

The door was opened, and the girl who had just been steamed by the heat, under the warm yellow light, had red lips and bright eyes, and was soft and fragrant. Jiang Tingxia was wearing a light-colored windbreaker and said softly, "Come in."

The moment the door opened, a gust of cold air rushed towards Jiang Tingxia. It was already getting cold at this time of the night.

Jiang Tingxia shivered when the wind blew, wrapped her clothes tightly, and urged, "It's really cold outside, come in quickly."

Li Changpu's cheeks were still hot and he didn't feel cold at all. He listened to her call and walked into the house step by step.

After entering the house, he saw a palm-sized water stain on the ground. Li Changpu felt as if his sight was burned by fire and he quickly looked away.

No matter what he was thinking, his face showed no sign of it, and his tone was as serious as usual, "Rest."

With a click, he pulled the light cord and the room fell into darkness.
