When Xi Cui knocked on the door of the courtyard, Lin Siyao, who looked refreshed, got up to open the door.
As for Su Shui Yue, Eldest Miss Su, her entire body was sore and limp as she lay on the bed, unable to move at all.
Lin Siyao let Xi Cui go to the embroidery room first, while he went to the kitchen to bring hot water into the bedroom. He then helped Su Shuiche to wash up.
"Did you do it on purpose?"
Su Shuiche blushed and weakly let him help her up. Looking at his refreshed appearance, she couldn't help but mutter.
Lin Siyao chuckled and didn't say anything. After helping her dress, he twisted a wet towel and gently placed it on her face. He held a toothbrush and a cup of water in his hand, waiting for her to wash her face and rinse her mouth.
"I'll do it myself." Su Shuiche took the wet towel and covered her face for a while, hoping that the blush would subside.
"Shuiche, we are newlyweds.
Others will naturally be able to understand. "
Lin Siyao saw this and found it funny. He took away the towel on her face and handed over the toothbrush. He smiled and explained in a low voice.
Hearing what he said, Su Shuiyin's face burned even hotter. She glared at him angrily and rinsed her mouth under his deep smile. Then, she quickly hid in the embroidery room.
…
"Xi Cui, your embroidery is very good. Later, you will use cross embroidery on the lake to highlight the ripples on the water."
Su Shuiyin stood beside Xi Cui and quietly watched her embroider a dark green branch that hung over the lake. Only then did she praise her with a smile.
"Good." Xi Cui happily nodded.
She didn't expect that she could successfully embroider a branch with a complicated spiral needle that she wasn't familiar with.
As a result, she was more confident.
Her mother was right. Su Shuiche's embroidery ability was something that she needed to learn modestly.
Previously, she was only good at straight needles, and other needle techniques were mediocre. She decided to take this opportunity to learn all kinds of needle techniques from Su Shuiche.
In the future, when she married into her husband's family, she would be proficient in embroidery. After all, exquisite embroidery could be exchanged for more money.
Thinking of this, Xi Cui raised her head and nodded gratefully at Su Shuiche. Then, she lowered her head and continued with her work.
Su Shuiche was relieved to see that Xi Cui not only did not refute his suggestion, but also accepted it from the bottom of her heart.
She couldn't help but think of the past. Although her younger sister Shui Yan would ask her to point out her shortcomings from time to time, but if she really pointed it out truthfully, Shui Yan's face would be full of unhappiness. Sometimes, she would even throw a tantrum at her, as if she was deliberately picking on her.
Therefore, even though Su Shuiche was picky about her embroidery, she gradually learned to accept Shui Yan's flawed embroidery. She only focused on consolidating her embroidery skills.
From then on, the gap between her and Shui Yan became thicker and thicker.
Secretly shaking her head, Su Shuiche also lowered her head and began to work on the embryonic form of the golden phoenix on the silk brocade.
… …
"Ah Yao, are they still not coming out for lunch today?" At noon, Aunt Lao entered the courtyard again with a basket of rice.
She quietly found Lin Siyao, who had just finished drying clothes and was weeding in the front yard. She covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.
Lin Siyao pondered for a while and then replied, "Today, let them come out to eat.
They should also relax. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Then I will put the food in the kitchen. Remember to let them eat later, okay?"
When Aunt Lao heard Lin Siyao's words, she nodded repeatedly. It was fine if it was her own daughter, but if something happened to Shuiche, she couldn't bear a casual blow from this powerful man in front of her.
Lin Siyao watched as Aunt Lao almost ran to the kitchen as if she was escaping. After putting down the basket of rice, she quickly left the courtyard.
He shook his head with a smile and continued to bend down to do the farm work in his hands.
Yesterday, he picked up a few books on farming from the bookshelf and flipped through them. He thought that since the weather was good now, he could learn how to plant some sweet potatoes in the field. When winter came, there would be different types of food to eat.
Therefore, he watched Su Shuiche drink a bowl of porridge and half of a flower roll this morning before letting her go back to the embroidery room. He went to the city and selected a batch of sweet potato seedlings. He planned to plant them one by one later.
As for the remaining open space, he had already divided it into three ridges. He planned to pick some suitable leafy vegetable seeds that were suitable to be planted now and harvested in winter from the dowry gifts from Mrs. Fang.
After removing the weeds and loosening the soil, he got up and went to the dock outside the fence. He washed his hands and wiped his face.
When he saw the plum blossom piles on the shore that had not been touched so far, his eyes flashed with a trace of a smile.
He knew that the little woman would never guess why he had set up the plum blossom piles.
With his current martial arts attainment, he naturally did not need this kind of rigid martial arts training ground.
He, on a whim, thought of the child that he and Su Shuiche would have together in the future.
Standing on the shore, he thought of the peaceful and happy days in the future. He quietly bathed in the noon sun for a while before strolling back to the kitchen. He planned to call Su Shuiche and have a good lunch.
The two wolf pups seemed to have smelled the mellow aroma of the red braised pork in the rice basket. They walked around the square table with their short and strong legs.
If they were not worried about the consequences, they would have already jumped on the table to steal the meat.
The two wolf pups covetously stared at the rice basket on the table. When they saw Lin Siyao come in, they shook their heads and wagged their tails coquettishly, begging him to throw them two pieces of meat to satisfy their cravings like yesterday at noon.
Yes, Su Shuiche and Xi Cui refused to come out to eat the red braised pork that Aunt Lao sent yesterday. Lin Siyao had no choice but to pick two lean pieces of meat and put them in the steamed buns and sent them to the embroidery room.
Of the remaining three pieces of red braised pork, he ate one and gave the other two to the two wolf pups.
After all, they were powerless without meat for a meal.
He thought that it would be better to go to the mountain forest and hunt some wild animals for the two wolf pups to eat.
At the same time, he would store some fur so that he could make some wrist guards, knee pads, and waistcoats for Su Shuiche before the winter came.
His internal energy was strong, so he was not afraid of the cold. However, Su Shuiche was different. It was just the beginning of autumn, but she was already wearing a short two-piece gown. When the winter came, the ice and snow would freeze the sky.
It could be seen that she used to be from a wealthy family. When winter came, she would hide in her boudoir and not go out.
However, although this house was built with a big kang, it could not be compared to the house of a wealthy family.
Thinking like this, Lin Siyao placed the food in the rice basket on the table one by one. He picked up two thin pieces of meat and threw them into the two wolf pups' big soup bowls. He also added two steamed buns and placed them in front of the small wooden house, hinting them not to be greedy.
The two wolf pups held the thin pieces of meat in their mouths and gnawed on the large steamed buns. They looked at Lin Siyao with resentment. When he said, "Go hunting in the forest in the afternoon." Only then did their eyes turn bright with hope.
Lin Siyao laughed and shook his head. He then went to the embroidery room to call Su Shuiche and Xi Cui out for lunch.
