Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 44

Chapter 44: So embarrassing!

At the moment, Di Yelei was not asleep at all. The lingering fragrance from the kitten’s body troubled him enough, let alone the rest.

What was worse, the other party kept tossing and turning, which was simply a naked temptation. Even though he tried hard to ignore it and closed his eyes pretending to sleep, he still couldn’t escape from the temptation.

Can’t stand it anymore! He had to get up.

She didn’t want to wet the bed, that would be too humiliating!

Getting up cautiously, Liu Sisi used both her hands and feet to slowly crawl out and came to Di Yelei’s side. Only then did she carefully observe him for a moment, noticing that he was still fast asleep, before happily standing up and trying to step over him.

Di Yelei’s eyes were closed, but his hearing was excellent.

How could these small movements of Liu Sisi escape his ears?

As soon as she started moving towards him, he immediately noticed, but he still held his breath and pretended to sleep, just to see what Liu Sisi was up to.

But Liu Sisi didn’t stop her movements, only stopping when she reached his side. The hot breath coming from her nose wings made him understand that she was staring at him at the moment.

What exactly did she want to do?

Di Yelei speculated countless answers in his heart.

But in the next moment, she suddenly stood up and straddled him.

He wasn’t mistaken, she actually straddled him! Could it be that she had some special preferences, such as preferring the superior position, so…

Di Yelei was secretly delighted in his heart, then suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to grab her!

“Ah! Ouch…”

Liu Sisi screamed! “Plop” as she fell heavily onto Di Yelei.

She thought Di Yelei was asleep, and was just stepping over him when suddenly, he grabbed her ankle and pulled. Luckily, his quick reflexes caught her, otherwise, she would have tumbled straight down to the bed instead of falling onto his cushioning body!

“Ouch—”

With her hand covering the bruised nose, Liu Sisi’s tears flowed down in torrents.

“Sisi! What are you doing?”

Di Yelei clenched his teeth in anger as he asked.

His hand was clutching a certain place that had almost been folded back. The intense pain from that fragile part made the veins on his face throb in pain, sweat dripping down heavily.

Liu Sisi sat down abruptly, almost breaking his thing!

It was simply unbearable!

After being yelled at by Di Yelei, the grievances accumulated over one night and the pain from her nose caused Liu Sisi to finally burst into tears, her sobbing growing more and more heartbroken.

It was then that Di Yelei realized something was wrong and got up despite the pain.

“Sisi, what’s wrong? Did you hurt somewhere?”

Since he was gritting his teeth in pain, Di Yelei’s words naturally came out with a harsh tone.

However, this just made Liu Sisi feel more aggrieved, her tears streaming down even more.

“Don’t cry, Sisi, don’t cry. Come, let me see where you got hurt? Did you hurt your nose?”

Di Yelei hurriedly stretched out one hand to hug her, clumsily comforting her.

“Whimper…”

Liu Sisi couldn’t bear it any longer, and she leaned into Di Yelei’s arms and started crying.

How embarrassing!

She had lived for two lifetimes, yet she actually cried because she bumped her nose… She was really too ashamed to face anyone.

“Good girl, Sisi, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Di Yelei gently wiped the tears that kept rolling down her face, finally managing to pull Liu Sisi’s hands away. Seeing her red, swollen nose, he suddenly burst into laughter.

Her red nose was like a little rabbit’s, shy and timid, brimming with tears. She was just too adorable!

He couldn’t help but tighten his arm around her slender waist, not wanting to let go.

Meanwhile, Liu Sisi kept squirming in his arms in an attempt to break free.

“Ye Lei, I…”

“Stop moving around! It’s late, go to sleep quickly.” Di Yelei couldn’t help but tighten his arm and lay her down in bed.

Liu Sisi’s small face flushed red with anxiety, and she couldn’t help but blurt out, “Let go! I… I need to pee!”

Di Yelei was stunned on the spot!

Liu Sisi’s cheeks turned crimson, too embarrassing!

She didn’t want to live anymore!

…

For the next few days, Liu Sisi and Di Yelei spent their time avoiding each other’s eyes.

Probably because the incident was too embarrassing, they tacitly agreed not to mention it.

But after that, every night before bed, Di Yelei would prepare a bowl of boiled water and put it by the bedside for Liu Sisi to drink at any time.

Liu Sisi also made sure to go to the bathroom before bed so as to avoid any more awkward situations.

Di Yelei was also busy, and Liu Sisi was surprised to find that his craftsmanship was excellent. In no time at all, he made various bamboo baskets, grass mats, fruit plates, dustpans, brooms, and more!

Liu Sisi’s eyes sparkled with admiration, he was too impressive!

Not only that, but he found the time to expand the cellar behind the house by two or three times its original size. Liu Sisi also saw the cellar on the cliff behind the house. The cellar was narrow and resembled the opening of a well, filled with various rarely used items, including the pickling jar Di Yelei had mentioned.

It was clear that the jar hadn’t been used for a long time. Liu Sisi spent quite a bit of time cleaning it thoroughly before drying it in the courtyard, preparing to make pickled cabbage for the winter when there would be no vegetables to eat.

On the other hand, Liu Sisi also used a round dustpan to sprout some yellow bean sprouts.

When she bought the soybeans, she had already planned on eating the sprouts. This dish was convenient and easy to make, and it didn’t take as long to grow as other vegetables. It would only take three to five days at most.

Once the bean sprouts came out, the whole family liked the taste.

Although the bean sprouts were delicious, Liu Sisi still missed the tofu she used to make. Unfortunately, there was no gypsum at home, so she had to wait until the market day to buy some and make it again.

Even so, Liu Sisi occasionally fried a plate of soybeans directly to go with porridge.

During her spare time, Liu Sisi began working on the defective silk garments.

She thought from the beginning that the strange color of the ruined silk could be used to make ribbon flowers. Although the silk color was odd, as long as it was cleverly combined, it could still shine and show its beauty.

Liu Sisi used YingEr’s ribbon flower as a template and imitated it to make a ribbon flower out of the weird-colored silk. She picked a piece of cloth from the scraps for the stamen and quickly completed a flower.

It must be said that Liu Sisi was very talented and dexterous. She was especially interested in arts and crafts such as paper cutting during her school days. Thus, her scissors were precise and quick, and the petals were completed in no time.
