Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 165
Chapter 165: Chapter 163: Struggle, Chaotic Flowers Gradually Obscuring the Vision (Part 5)
Her eyes flashed quickly with a bright light, and then disappeared just as quickly.
Little rascal! You finally loosened your tongue, huh?
“Hehe, I know! I’ll take good care of myself! I’ve especially studied the three techniques of hooligan defense, so don’t worry!”
“Defending against hooligans or whatever isn’t important, the important thing is for you to be careful…”
Di Yelei’s heart was still uneasy, and he couldn’t help but say a few more words. Seeing the little kitty glare at him, he finally reached out and pinched her little nose jovially.
“Are you not angry anymore? You, oh…”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed her, entangling and embracing her deeply. Only when she was breathless and pushed him away did he feel content and let her go.
Looking at the little person whose watery eyes were still fluttering and face was flushed, he couldn’t help but grin.
However, doing so aggravated the scratches on his face, and he couldn’t help but wince in pain as he covered his face.
“Pfft! You deserve it! Who told you to bully me! If there’s a next time, I’ll scratch your entire face!”
Liu Sisi burst into laughter, her giggles sounding like silver bells.
She took a handkerchief from her pocket and carefully covered the scratches for him. As expected, bloodstains quickly appeared on the handkerchief, and guilt welled up in Liu Sisi’s heart.
She stuck out her tongue, laughing sheepishly and whispering her complaint, “You’re so silly! You’re so tall, how did you not dodge my scratch! Now you’re bleeding, go put some ointment on quickly.”
“It’s fine! This is the memento my little kitty left for me; how could your husband dare to dodge it?”
Di Yelei wore a silly grin as he held her hand with the handkerchief and gently pressed a kiss to it.
As if she had been burned, Liu Sisi quickly retracted her hand, her eyes darting restlessly.
“Stop teasing! I, I feel sticky and uncomfortable, I want to take a bath!”
Di Yelei burst into laughter and playfully slapped her little buttocks, “Your husband already guessed it! Be good and wait for me to prepare everything for you, then come take a bath.”
In the pot was a large pot of hot water. Liu Sisi was overjoyed. After Di Yelei mixed the hot water, she hurried to the bathhouse to wash, finally feeling comfortable.
The night at the foot of the mountain was extraordinarily quiet, with the distant mountains appearing heavy and hazy.
Under the dense curtain of night, the brilliant stars twinkled, and the hazy full moon cast a silvery glow.
Moonlight cascaded down from the heavens like water, imbuing everything around with a layer of silver radiance.
“Sisi, come over here!”
Di Yelei’s call attracted her. Facing the moon in the skies, Liu Sisi approached him curiously.
By the courtyard’s edge, near the base of a large tree, Di Yelei sat on a bamboo mat, waving to her and beckoning her to come closer.
Next to him, a torch was also propped up, making faint crackling sounds as the flames burned in the air.
“Come on! It’s cool here! We can go back inside to sleep once it’s cooler later.”
With Di Yelei’s words, Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua also rushed to Liu Sisi’s feet in a flurry of joy.
“I don’t want to! I haven’t had dinner yet!”
Liu Sisi subconsciously widened her eyes: Was this a candlelit dinner?
Liu Sisi was overjoyed!
She really couldn’t tell that the honest-looking man in front of her actually had such a romantic side!
“Kitty, I know you haven’t eaten, so I’ve already scooped out some braised pork ribs for you. Come and eat.”
Under the starlight, his face seemed even more enchanting, but it was his eyes that shone even brighter than the stars in the night sky!
“But…why did you decide to eat outside?”
She hadn’t eaten a single bite since noon and had used up a lot of energy, so she was starving at this point.
“Here, let me feed you. I made these ribs by stewing badger meat, and they taste really delicious. Ying’er and Xuan’er both love it. If your husband hadn’t saved this portion for you, those two little greedy cats would have finished all the meat long ago.”
As Di Yelei spoke, he picked a piece of rib from a nearby bowl and put it into her mouth.
The extremely rich meaty taste immediately filled her mouth, making her already starving stomach go crazy. Without a care for anything else, she chewed hurriedly.
“Woof, woof, woof…”
Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, who had been playfully surrounding the two, immediately began to lightly bark and whine when they saw the piece of meat disappear, wagging their tails and trying to please the couple.
“Get out of here! Go away and don’t ruin my good mood. Otherwise, I’ll be eating your meat on tomorrow’s dinner table.”
Di Yelei had no embarrassment in chasing the two puppies away loudly.
*Chuckle* “Cough, cough…”
This amused Liu Sisi: “I would never have guessed that Di Yelei, you would actually be able to bully two little dogs.”
“Really? If they prevent me from eating meat, I’ll just have to use their meat to make up for it. What do you think of my decision?”
Di Yelei squinted his eyes and raised his sword-like eyebrows while speaking, his wild and unruly smile in his eyes dazzling Liu Sisi.
“Want to eat their meat? In your dreams! Here, can’t this much meat block your mouth?”
Liu Sisi annoyed, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, giving him a sideways glance. This made him burst into a continuous series of laughter, which echoed far away at the foot of the mountain in the night.
They had a peaceful night’s sleep.
After waking up refreshed, Liu Sisi washes herself and takes a look around. There was no one outside, and as soon as Liu Sisi left the yard, she saw Di Yelei’s figure in the distance.
With a faint smile on his face, he was carefully explaining something to Di Ruoning at the three-way intersection, and she was nodding her head as she listened. Then the two said something else, and Di Ruoning visibly brightened, looking towards where Liu Sisi was.
“Third Sister-in-law!” Di Ruoning waved at Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi raised her eyebrow, curious, and walked over: “Little sister, where are you going?”
“Nowhere! Yesterday, I had some dried shrimps at your place, and I was craving them today, so I asked Meng Bai to catch some in the river using a net. He caught quite a lot.”
Di Ruoning smiled at Liu Sisi, took the initiative to step forward and looped her arm around hers. “Dad will start the autumn harvest tomorrow, and it would be nice to catch some fish today and add a dish to everyone’s meal to improve the quality.”
Aside from the roe deer that Di Yelei had brought to the old house, there was no meat left. It would indeed be good to catch some fish and shrimp.
“I told her earlier that we have plenty of dried shrimps at home, and if you like them, you can come and get them anytime.” Di Yelei’s gentle words came from the side.
“Yelei is right. These dried shrimps are simply picked from the river and made at home, not some precious luxury. I’ll make sure to send some to Little Sister tomorrow.”
Liu Sisi chimed in too.
