I raised a husband in ancient times

Chapter 28

The atmosphere at dinner tonight was weird, and Father Lu couldn't place it.

Mother Lu swallowed the last mouthful of rice and teased someone who was about to bury his face in the rice bowl: "Brother Xing, does your stomach still hurt?"

Pei Xing froze while eating the rice and raised his head without squinting. , not daring to move to the side with his peripheral vision: "Auntie, I, I'm fine." "

It's fine. Just now, Yiming was so worried that he almost went to see Dr. Li."

Hearing this, his red color faded It crept up to his cheek again, and when his husband didn't retort, he couldn't help but check his expression.

Their eyes met unexpectedly, and the husband's loving peach blossom eyes were staring straight at him. Pei Xing's thin pink circle instantly turned into a crimson sunset glow, which did not disappear for a long time.

The soft kiss in the room just now seemed to be his illusion, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed as to why he had to pretend to be asleep and not reveal his feelings to his husband.

What does this kiss from my husband mean? Does he like me too?

Lu Yiming did not see someone hiding under the quilt at that time, with his toes raised out of shyness. After he said that, he received no response.

However, the eyelashes stained with water droplets fluttered slightly, and the eyeballs kept wandering, obviously hearing it.

He didn't try to expose him. The kiss was uncontrollable, and he himself didn't know in what capacity the kiss was. If Xiaoxing asked at that time, he probably wouldn't be able to give the other party the answer he wanted.

Evening is the time for daily reading and calligraphy. On weekdays, Pei Xing has already been quietly reviewing the knowledge he has learned at his desk.

At this moment, Lu Yiming came out of the shower, and the other party was still holding the brush half up, letting the ink drip down the tip of the pen onto the white paper without noticing.

"Come back to your senses."

Lu Yiming snapped his fingers in front of him, and the other person raised his hazy eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking in his blurred eyes. Even if his head turned to him, his thoughts were still wandering.

He raised his hand to rub the little head and said in a soft tone: "I feel unwell today, don't force it, go to sleep."

Pei Xing opened his mouth several times, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to start.

If you say you lied, will your husband think that you are a liar and hate yourself?

She says she likes her husband, but if her husband doesn't mean it, how should she deal with herself in the future?

With these complicated questions, he finished the shower mechanically, without fastening the belt of his inner clothes. After lying down, Lu Yiming glanced casually and could see the leaked spring scenery at a glance.

It was obviously late autumn, but he felt dry for no reason.

But the confused man didn't know it yet, thinking that he was unaware, and secretly moved his body position, like a slow snail, moving closer to him.

A small hand gently pulled his sleeve under the quilt, and the voice came slowly: "Husband, I don't have menstruation, and I don't have stomach pain." "

Yes." Lu Yiming's voice was calm, listening in the darkness Not happy or angry.

Is your husband angry?

The darkness was like a shelter. Pei Xing took advantage of the other person's unclear expression to silently encourage himself.

He followed Lu Yiming's arm and touched his fingers upwards, as if identifying the location.

Lu Yiming did not move. The dark night obscured his vision, and other senses were infinitely magnified. Wherever the catkins brushed, a numbing feeling spread across his arms.

"Husband?"

"Huh?"

As soon as he made a confused voice, the other party's soft fingertips touched the corner of his mouth. Instead of moving away like before, he drew circles along the corner of his mouth to identify the shape of his mouth.

After confirming something, Pei Xing breathed a sigh of relief. His tone was no longer as cautious as before, and he said briskly: "My husband is not angry." Even though the

other party was making a statement, he could still hear that there was something difficult to capture in it. question, he affirmed: "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm body suddenly approached, unprepared, soft and moist lips lightly pressed on his cheek, like the warm sun in winter, and like It is the ice water that melts in spring.

The other party imitated his example, blowing hot breath into his ear, trembling lips brushing against his ear because of nervousness, and said awkwardly: "Good night, husband." A sweet voice like a clear spring filled

his mind. Looking back, it was clearly a simple four words, but his heart was filled with ripples, and he had not calmed down for a long time.

For the first time, Lu Yiming didn't know how to face this little guy.

His rapidly beating heart told him that he might care about the other person's actions, but his calm brain also sent him a signal. This was just an illusion brought to him by his mature body.

He gently moved his arms, which were wrapped around him to sleep, and a numb feeling of snowflakes spread throughout his body.

After confirming that the person next to him was asleep, he said with mixed emotions and a gentleness in his voice that he had never noticed before: "Good night."

******

Not only the Lu family has been very busy these days, but the entire village has also been busy. .

After drying the rice, the millet should be peeled off so that it can be pounded with a hammer later.

The most basic manual method of threshing is used, using an inverted square-shaped threshing bucket. They use brute force and rely on the power of the rice to hit the board to let the rice fall naturally into the barrel.

When the book comes to use, it will be less regretful. Lu Yiming only knows that in modern times, there are special threshing machines for threshing. This is the first time I have seen this kind of purely human power. Not to mention the back pain, the efficiency is still low. Who is it really? Who knows.

"My husband is so stupid."

Pei Xing saw that Lu Yiming only used brute strength and no skills, so he covered his mouth and secretly laughed at him.

The person being laughed at pretends to be angry, picks up a piece of straw, and sweeps the tip of the other person's exposed neck, causing the other person to laugh.

"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore." Pei Xing begged for mercy with a smile, but in fact he didn't mean to repent at all.

After spinning for four or five days in a row, I finally finished threshing the millet before winter.

The cold wave is beginning to take shape. In the blink of an eye, tomorrow will be the beginning of winter. It is estimated that the temperature will drop sharply in less than half a month.

"Winter has started early this year, and I can't even get up in the morning now."

Mother Lu rubbed her hands, and after getting through the busy autumn, there was nothing major to do next, and she could finally rest for a while.

She looked at several large baskets of millet stacked in the lobby and was worried: "This year's harvest will not be good. If taxes are not reduced, I don't know if the food left will be enough for the family to survive this winter."

Before the time travel, it was often recorded in history that taxes were heavy in ancient times. He could not relate to it before, but now the family started to look sad just after the harvest, so he felt something.

An ancient saying goes: Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand grains in autumn. There is no idle land in the world, and farmers still starve to death.

Isn't that why the sad-looking little guy next to him became his husband?

"Mom, this year is different from previous years. If the tax revenue from ten acres of land is not enough, we still have some money to make up for it, so there is no need to worry so much." Thinking of

the cheap seventy taels, Mother Lu stopped lamenting: " Speaking of which, how did the village chief reply, did he agree to grant the land?"

After drawing the design, he went to Li Zheng the next day to report that they were not demolishing and rebuilding on the same site, so they had to buy new land and go through the process. Various procedures.

"We've been busy with farming these days. Li Zheng said we would discuss it in detail in a few days. I plan to go there again tomorrow." "

Okay, you can bring a basket of eggs then."

Lu Yiming nodded, he still understood this etiquette.

Father Lu held the design drawings in both hands and squinted his eyes closer to take a closer look at the internal layout of the house. He had never seen this new style before. Could it be that Yiming saw it when he passed by the north?

This was the third time he had seen this design drawing, and he was still shocked by the bold design and weird structure, which seemed to have opened up new ideas for him.

After the conversation was over, he handed over the paper and pointed at one of the places, puzzled: "What's the use of this?"

Lu Yiming looked at what he pointed at and found that it was the heating channel he wanted to dig: "This is the fire wall. When the time comes, a stove will be placed here. If you light a fire here in the winter, you can heat the entire house through the heating duct, and there will be no smoky smell all over the house." He explained the

principle to Father Lu, The latter rarely praised: "It's so good."

After saying that, he frowned: "This project is not small, it will probably take more than a month." "

Well, I originally planned to recruit some people from the village to help, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it before the winter solstice. After the completion, it is difficult to put together some additional materials, so I thought of going to the town and contracting it to a small laborer who specializes in building houses. What do you think?"

"This..." Father Lu hesitated. After all, the town It costs more to hire. If it is just to save time, it is indeed a bit wasteful, but I am itching and I am really curious about what it will look like after it is completely built.

Lu Yiming saw that Lu's father was still unable to make a decision, so he helped: "Both mother and Xiaoxing are a little weak, so we can suffer less. Besides, we can buy some materials separately, maybe from the lumber shop in town. You may not be allowed to order so much, but it will save time and effort if you give it to them."

Father Lu was persuaded: "Okay, it will be as you wish."

After the plan was finalized, everything was ready, and all we needed was the east wind.

The approval matter came to fruition soon. The situation in Wuhe Village was fairly fair. It didn't make things difficult for them, but they were a little surprised. The situation of the Lu family in recent years was obvious to all in the village. There was really no need to spend such unjust money to build another house, but he Without asking any more questions, Jiang agreed to the matter after paying three taels of land fee.

Lu Yiming took the land deed with the official seal and asked uncertainly: "Can we start from today?"

"Okay, I will go to the town tomorrow and submit this document to the government for filing. Take the other land deed. If any official asks about it, just give it to them for inspection."

"Thank you Li Zheng."

Without further pause, he returned home and handed the land deed to Mother Lu's charge, and then Take Pei Xing to the town.

"Husband, why did you take me?" The atmosphere between the two of them was very strange after that night. This was the first time

they were alone face to face like this . "You've finished the medicine the doctor prescribed for you some time ago. It's time for you to go for a follow-up consultation." As soon as he mentioned the Chinese medicine, the smiling face that was still looking forward to it instantly dropped into a tight frown, and the tangled eyebrows went up and down. It's interesting. Lu Yiming poured cold water on the side with great interest: "If you still don't get better, you may have to take more bitter medicine." Pei Xing believed it to be true, pouted and murmured: "I have something to eat, and the food cooked by my husband is delicious. My appetite is getting bigger and bigger now, and I'm almost eating it..." "It doesn't matter what I said, it has to be decided by the doctor." Lu Yiming's furry head was naturally pushed up under his hand, and Lu Yiming saw a certain The rabbit was immersed in the bitter Chinese medicine and couldn't extricate himself, feeling a little funny in his heart. Silly goose. "How is it?" Pei Xing asked Dr. Lin anxiously. Is he really afraid of taking medicine? He really didn't know that medicine could be so bitter! The familiar white beard appeared again. Dr. Lin retracted his hand, looked at the two of them carefully, and said to Lu Yiming: "The mending is good, but you don't need to be so restrained. You still need to vent when appropriate. Holding it in can easily hurt your body." Doctor Lin gave Lu Yiming a pack of cool annealed chrysanthemum tea from his private bag and said, "You can let your husband drink some on weekdays." From the moment Doctor Lin started talking, Pei Xing had been pretending to be dead, and he kept secret things in his heart. Would he feel shameless if he was exposed to the inside out, or in front of her husband? From the initial shame to the later anxiety, he felt restless. A big hand put on his shoulder and comforted him in his ear: "Don't listen to that crooked old man. He has a lot of bad taste. He's only looking at our jokes." He turned his head and saw Dr. Lin squinting his eyes and stroking his beard. While looking at them, the annoyance in his heart was swept away, and he turned his head away without wanting to speak. Pei Xing's health improved, his worries subsided, and he started to do business. The young man in the shop had an impatient look on his face. From the way they were dressed, it was clear that they were not wealthy people, and his expression was naturally not good. He spoke with a condescending tone: "You want to contract work? Do you want to go to the village? Can you afford the money?" There are two craftsmen's shops in the east and west of the city. They had just gone to the medical clinic, so they went to the nearest one first. They had just introduced the situation, but before the drawings were taken out, they were faced with such disdain. face. Lu Yiming glanced at the other person, took Pei Xing's hand, and said without saying more: "Let's go." Not long after leaving the store, he could still hear the man's disparaging voice behind him, and he deliberately raised the volume: "This poor look, I still want to contract work." "Husband, how could they do this?" Pei Xing also heard this. Although he had experienced many such things, he was inexplicably unhappy when his husband was looked down upon. "It's okay. Dogs look down on people. Don't worry too much. If you can't take the contract, our little Pei Xing will have to spend the winter in this cold room."















































Lu Yiming joked, and Pei Xing secretly replied: If your husband is here, you won't be cold.

The craftsmen's shops in the west of the city are not as grand as those in the east, but the attitude of the store owners is much better. A young clerk greeted them: "If you want a whole building, we can only set the price after seeing the drawings."

"Can I leave the materials to you?"

The man glanced at Lu Yiming and nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yiming took out the drawings, handed them to him, and explained some special requirements and material categories to him.

Just as he was talking, the man's hand shook, and Lu Yiming looked at him strangely.

"Wait a moment." The man ran inside with the drawings, regardless of the two guests. Lu Yiming could roughly guess why no one was interested in the shop.

Soon, a vigorous old man was helped out from behind the curtain quickly, holding on to the drawings and staring at Lu Yiming intently: "Who designed this?" "The

boy is not talented."

"If I say, I will Are you willing to sell us the drawings and we will bear all the costs of building your house?"

There was a hint of excitement in the old man's words, but he tried his best to restrain it, except that the hand holding the cane was trembling.

Lu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

In fact, there was no such thing as selling blueprints in ancient times. Looking for someone to contract work is equivalent to selling the blueprints to the other party. The shop can use the customer's blueprints to help others build similar houses. There is no copyright. explain.

However, for modern people who live in a world with strong copyright awareness, Lu Yiming takes it for granted.

"When can the construction start?"

"Tomorrow."

Lu Yiming still hoped that the construction would be completed soon. After hearing this, he nodded with satisfaction: "Waiting for the good news."

When Lu Yiming and the others walked away, the old man held his grandson beside him. He said excitedly: "Our Cao family is saved!"

Lu Yiming knew nothing about the unintentional help. He was currently shopping at the vegetable market.

After the construction of the house was completed, they did not go back immediately. Lu Yiming took Pei Xing to buy flour, mushrooms, leeks and fresh meat.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

People don't eat dumplings at the beginning of winter in the south, so Pei Xing doesn't know what Lu Yiming is thinking at this moment.

"Today is the beginning of winter. Let me make dumplings for you to eat."

Although he doesn't know what "dumplings" are, it doesn't stop Pei Xing from swallowing his saliva. Everything his husband makes is delicious!

Lu Yiming rolled out the dumpling wrappers, and Lu's mother shucked the corn at home into corn kernels, and cut other ingredients into cubes for later use.

Just when he was about to ask Xiaoxing to make dumplings with him, he turned around and found that the person was not there: "Xiaoxing? Xiaoxing?"

He washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen. Just as he was about to go into the bedroom to call him, he vaguely noticed someone at the door of his courtyard. The figure on the back looks familiar, but it's not the same person just now.

It turned out to be outside the hospital, no wonder I didn't hear it.

Later, he will be taught how to make dumplings, and he can also laugh at this man's clumsiness as much as he wants to repay the shame of the last threshing.

He approached quietly, wanting to give the other party a surprise, and found a person opposite Pei Xing.

Looks familiar, Li Dashan?

He stood still in the courtyard and saw with his own eyes Pei Xing accepting the package handed to him by Li Dashan. There was a crimson smile on his small face. The shyness that clearly belonged to him was blooming in front of another person.

With just one glance, the violence deep in his heart that he had forgotten for a long time swept over him overwhelmingly.

He was used to living a comfortable life, and he thought that every bit of the apocalypse was a thing of the past, but the cruelty raging in his chest now truly told him that his usual gentleness was just a false fig leaf.

His scarlet eyes became extremely terrifying, like a lion whose territory was invaded by others. There was an almost inaudible grievance in his cold tone: "What are you doing?"
