Husband, Let Me Touch Your Abs

Chapter 49

The next day, Zhao Beichuan woke up just as the sky began to lighten.

He quickly got up to heat water and tidy up the room. Soon, his father and the others would arrive, and he didn't want them to see the messy state of the house.

The water in the pot boiled, and Zhao Beichuan woke Lu Yao. "Get up."

Lu Yao turned over, feeling uncomfortable from the friction, and couldn't help but moan softly. "What time is it?"

"It's almost the hour of Yin."

Lu Yao sat up on the bed, the blanket slipping off, revealing red marks on his pale shoulders and back, as if he had been bitten by mosquitoes.

Zhao Beichuan quickly draped a cotton jacket over him. "Get up and wash your face. Father and the others will be here soon."

"Okay." Lu Yao scratched his head, put on his clothes, and got out of bed.

Breakfast was still millet porridge, with no vegetables or meat, leaving Lu Yao's mouth feeling bland.

"I'll go to town later today. The shops should be open now. I'll buy some food so that Father and the others can have lunch here."

Zhao Beichuan: "Alright, don't forget to buy bowls and chopsticks."

After breakfast, Wang Youtian arrived with a mule cart. On the cart were Lu's father, Lu Lin, Hu Chunrong, Xiaonian, and Xiaodou.

They had stayed overnight at Lu's house. Last night, they were excited, but this morning, they became anxious, especially Xiaodou, who cried for his sister-in-law while hugging her.

Lu's mother tried to comfort them for a long time but couldn't calm them down. She urged them to eat quickly and send the two children back.

The cart also carried a chicken, a sack of cabbage, a sack of radishes, a bucket, and four earthenware bowls.

Originally, Lu's mother planned to come too, but during breakfast, Lu Yun kept retching. They thought he had eaten something bad, but upon closer inspection, they noticed his pregnancy mole had become more prominent and redder.

When a guy gets pregnant, the pregnancy mole becomes brighter and sometimes larger due to hormonal changes.

Lu Yao found this quite curious and touched his own pregnancy mole on his collarbone. Last night, Zhao Beichuan seemed to have left some marks there... Could he be pregnant? The thought made him shiver.

In the morning, everyone worked together to build the livestock shed. The already small courtyard became even narrower, barely enough space for a cart.

The pigpen wasn't built yet; there wasn't enough wood, so they decided to keep the pigs in the backyard garden for now. The chicken coop was also placed in the garden, to be relocated in the spring.

Just as they finished building the gate, someone knocked on it. Lu Yao opened the door and saw a thin old man standing outside, looking into the yard with his hands behind his back.

"Can I help you?"

The old man walked straight into the yard and pointed at the livestock shed against the wall. "You need to take this down! It can't be next to my house!" It turned out to be their neighbor.

Everyone was stunned. With such a small courtyard, where else could they build the shed?

Lu Guangsheng smiled apologetically. "Old brother, our courtyard is too small. We can only build the shed here; otherwise, the mule cart won't fit."
