Chapter 69
My husband can eat so much?!
"Yo yo yo".
As soon as you hear that smug voice, you know it's Liu Yu.
"Brother, why did you bring all the washcloths from home? And you're using your own! We're not even allowed to touch them, and now you're using them to wipe my body!"
Jin Bao'er: "..."
"Really?"
Zhao Yuheng's eyes were full of surprise. He never expected that he was so unique in Jin Bao'er's heart.
"I've already changed the towels; I'm going to use this one to wipe the table later."
After Jin Bao'er finished speaking, she turned and left. The redness on her earlobes was unclear, whether it was from the sun or something else.
Liu Yu glanced at Zhao Yuheng sitting on the ground, a smile in her eyes.
Before leaving, I gave him a thumbs up and then went back to work.
Finally, night fell.
Zhao Yuheng was so tired that he sat on the stool and didn't want to get up.
He was slumped over, looking like he was about to "kick the bucket".
Jin Bao'er hid in the shadows by the wall, watching his lifeless expression, and couldn't help but smile.
I was secretly pleased.
Serves them right, they really deserve it. Why not enjoy a good life instead of coming to the countryside to suffer?
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come cook."
It was rare for Aunt to finish her work with a smile on her face, after all, Zhao Yuheng had taken on the hardest and most tiring tasks.
She only needed to pick pears under the tree, "Xiao Heng did so much work, we must treat him well."
She muttered to herself that her family's genes were strange, as all her sons were thin and weak.
If we could have more children like Zhao Yuheng, tall and strong, we wouldn't have to worry about farm work.
It's a pity they have two boys. If they had two daughters, they might have been able to find a son-in-law to live with them.
Jin Bao'er: "..."
Actually, it's not only daughters who can marry sons-in-law; men can too.
Of course, he dared not say that; he didn't know what would happen if he did.
To entertain Zhao Yuheng, his aunt specially took out the old cured pork from home, burned off the hair, washed it clean, and made a stir-fry of pork with garlic sprouts.
I also made tomato and egg soup, pumpkin and green beans, and stir-fried shredded potatoes with green peppers. The portions were quite generous; four dishes should have been enough for five people.
However, she still underestimated Zhao Yuheng's appetite.
It wasn't until everyone started serving themselves their second bowls that they realized Zhao Yuheng had already added a fourth bowl.
Now, both Auntie and Jinbao were a little embarrassed.
Not enough rice was cooked.
My aunt brought out all the food in one bowl.
Zhao Yuheng thought there was still some rice left in the pot, so he unceremoniously scooped out the last bit of rice from the bowl.
"Auntie's out of rice, I'll go get some. Where is it?"
He put down his bowl and asked with a warm smile.
aunt"……"
Jin Bao'er: "..."
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Auntie, clutching her apron in one hand, awkwardly stood up.
"Jinbao told me you have a big appetite and asked me to cook more, but I didn't expect... sigh, I'll go cook some noodles too."
Only after these words were spoken did Zhao Yuheng realize what was happening.
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she sullenly sat back down, feeling incredibly flustered; her image was completely ruined.
"You woman, you can't even cook a proper meal, how can you let the guests go hungry?"
My uncle usually eats two bowls of rice, but now there's no rice left. He can't scold the guests, so he can only frown and scold his own wife.
"Auntie, I'll go, I'll go."
Jin Bao'er also felt embarrassed and quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
Zhao Yuheng lowered his head, cursing inwardly:
Damn, how can they eat so much?
They even ate all the food! How embarrassing!
Finally, unable to bear the silence of everyone, he scurried into the kitchen as well.
"I'm usually full after eating this much, but I did some work today..."
He hurriedly explained, raising his hand to scratch the back of his head, looking rather simple-minded.
Jin Bao'er couldn't help but smile as she looked at him.
It's rare to see this cool and aloof male god, who always acts cool and handsome, make such a silly face.
Seeing Jin Bao'er constantly comforting him with a smile, Zhao Yuheng felt even more guilty.
I secretly resolved to eat less in the future, otherwise my aunt and uncle would think I'm a glutton!
They won't let us come anymore, what should we do?
To ease his burden, Jin Bao'er whispered in the kitchen, "I'll cook as much as you want to eat."
After saying that, he quickly threw half of the noodles into the pot.
One second Zhao Yuheng was solemnly saying he should eat less, the next second he said expectantly, "Put the rest down."
Jin Bao'er looked at him, then at the half-eaten bundle of noodles still in her hand.
A moment of silence followed.
……
It's time to take a shower after dinner.
Jin Bao'er knew that Zhao Yuheng liked cleanliness, so she let him be the first to wash.
We have solar panels installed in our home, so the water is hot now.
He was worried that Zhao Yuheng would get burned if he turned on the hot water directly, so he personally took him to the bathroom.
"The top right is the hot water. The sun is strong now, so the water temperature is high. Just put it in the middle and don't turn it to the right."
Jin Bao'er patiently explained in detail.
"Okay, I understand. You can go now."
As Zhao Yuheng spoke, he raised his hand to unbutton his T-shirt, his movements swift and decisive.
Jin Bao'er quickly turned around and left.
Those awful straight men, always thinking about seducing me, my fingertips are practically burning with desire.
He figured Zhao Yuheng would be staying at home tonight, and he couldn't very well squeeze in with someone else, much less sleep with him.
So I quickly cleaned up the floor of my room and found some clean cardboard to put down.
After laying down a clean sheet and placing a soft pillow, the job was finally done.
Now, he wants to stay away from "male beauty," starting with keeping his distance.
Just then, Zhao Yuheng's slightly steamy voice came from the bathroom: "Jinbao'er, I forgot my clothes, can you get them for me?"
"Okay, okay, where is it?"
"In the suitcase."
Jin Bao'er opened her suitcase and rummaged through it, finding a pair of yellow shorts that Zhao Yuheng often wore, a black vest, and a pair of black high-elastic underwear.
I haven't seen it for four months, and I haven't touched it for four months either. It seems like they've changed brands.
His fingertips touched the delicate fabric of the underwear, and he paused unconsciously for two seconds.
His eyes darted around before he snapped back to reality, hurriedly shaking his head and cursing under his breath.
Jin Bao'er, you little pervert, you're still thinking about these things at a time like this!
He clutched his clean clothes and hurried to the bathroom door.
After Zhao Yuheng finished showering, his hair was still dripping wet, and water droplets slid down his neck and into his collarbone.
Jin Bao'er quickly handed him a clean towel to wipe himself, not daring to linger her gaze on him.
"Jinbao'er, where am I sleeping?" Zhao Yuheng asked with a mischievous grin as he dried his hair.
Jin Bao'er pointed to the makeshift "bed" laid out for him on the ground.
Zhao Yuheng: "..."
"I'll sleep here?"
"ah."
"Can't I sleep in the bed?"
"cannot."
I want to sleep with you.
"I don't want to."
"All right."
Zhao Yuheng's face immediately fell, and he took off his slippers with a pitiful expression, obediently lying down on the "bed" on the floor.
Jin Bao'er pouted, picked up her clothes, and turned to take a shower.
