Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 119

A tear silently slid into the bedding, and she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it while he wasn’t paying attention.

Di Yelei deliberately avoided it and scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup to feed her.

“Silly girl! How could you be dreaming? Look at me, aren’t I standing right in front of you?”

Di Yelei’s eyes were bright, and he laughed with an honest expression.

Despite his words, his eyes also welled up with tears.

Life and death, from ancient times to the present, how many people can truly understand and let go?

“Hmm! True, you’re still fine…”

As she spoke, she gently touched his cheek, carefully feeling his warm aura inch by inch, sensing his real existence.

It wasn’t until his rough stubble pricked her little hand that she gently laughed.

But as she looked up, she met a pair of bright eyes, and her heart suddenly jumped, causing her to quickly withdraw her hand.

However, as soon as she moved, her hand was caught by his.

“Sisi, my… little kitten…”

He sighed softly, holding her little hand, rubbing it gently in her palm, deliberately prickling her with his stubble, and then laughed.

The two looked at each other, and a warm feeling spread between them.

Everything was left unsaid!

After finishing the bowl of chicken soup, Di Yelei gently touched her forehead with a worried look on his face.

“You seem to have no fever now. How do you feel? Is your body more comfortable? I’ve boiled a pot of water, it should be cooler now. Do you want to take a bath?”

“Hmm! I’m feeling really uncomfortable, sticky all over, and it’s hard to bear.”

“You lie down for a while, and I’ll mix the hot water for you, so as not to catch a cold again, that wouldn’t be an easy thing.”

As he spoke, Di Yelei carefully tucked the thin quilt around her before leaving the room.

With her eyes still gritty, Liu Sisi raised her hand to look at it. The five fingers on her left hand were swollen and shiny, and the cloth on the wound had been re-bandaged. The knot was different from her own, evidently Di Yelei had bandaged it for her.

He had taken care of her all day, his strong hands bandaging her…

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but smile.

He really had gone through trouble on her behalf!

Di Yelei was fast, and in no time he moved an old wooden barrel into the bedroom.

“Your body is weak, and it’s not suitable to catch a cold. The wind outside might affect your vitality when going in and out. Just wash in the room and I’ll take it out to pour it when you’re done.”

As he spoke, he poured hot water into the large barrel and then turned to pick up the water bucket and left the room.

The warm mist spread, and Liu Sisi, who was already sticky all over, couldn’t resist it. She propped herself up from the head of the bed and crawled up, dragging her weak body to close the door.

Untying her waistband, her skirt fell from her body. However, her clothes seemed to be at odds with her, feeling stiff on her limbs. She struggled with her short robe for a long time, stuck at her sore arm, unable to use any force to remove it.
