While speaking, Xiao Dazong had already reached out to take the bowl from Xu Hui.
As he added water to the basin, he could not help but mutter to Xu Hui, ”Why are you in such a hurry? It's fine if you want to embroider things slowly, but do you have to do it quickly?” What if I'm exhausted? I heard that embroidery takes the most effort, so you should be more careful. Don't break your eyes! ”
Xu Hui felt warm from being whispered and smiled, ”Got it. I'll go and have a rest after embroidering for a while in the future.”
”Come, let's wash and see if the water is hot enough.” He knew that Xu Hui had a habit of washing her face in the evening. She used hot water the first time and cold water the second time, saying that it was something that was good for the skin, but he did not understand what his wife was willing to do, as long as she was not tired.
Xu Hui probed the water's temperature, which was slightly higher than its temperature. Coincidentally, she smiled at Xiao Dazong, picked up a handful of water and began to wash his face, seriously washing his face. Xiao Dazong hurriedly poured hot water to the side and scooped up some fresh water. After Xu Hui washed herself with cold water, Xiao Dazong had already passed him a clean cloth. Xu Hui wiped his face and raised her head to smile at Xiao Dazong.
Xiao Da Yong felt that his wife's face was as white and tender as an egg that had just been peeled. She was smiling so that he could not see her. Xu Hui looked at him in a daze and then threw a cloth at him with a smile.
”No, you have to wash even if I do. Look at your face. It took me so much effort to cover it up, but it seems like you've gone back to basking in the sun these past few days!”
”Hehe, I've brought people to renovate the house these few days. I'm probably going to bask in the sunlight. I'm a man, it's fine if I'm black. My wife, you don't have to bask in the sun.”
”If it gets any darker and the two of us stand together and they look like a couple with one black and the other white, do you think they won't look like a couple? Otherwise, I'll also get suntanned and become a little darker, right?”
Xiao Dayong shook his head like a rattle drum. His cute, dead wife's white skin was too much for him to allow his to tan. He hurriedly said, ”I'll also wash. Washing more might cause my skin to turn white.”
Xu Hui covered her mouth and laughed. Xiao Da Yong used the water that Xu Hui had used to wash his face and looked at Xu Hui who picked up a small bowl to wipe his face. He asked Xu Hui curiously, ”What's that?”
Xu Hui passed it over for Xiao Dazong to smell. Xiao Dazong frowned and asked, ”sesame oil? Isn't this used for cooking? Wife, why are you smearing it on your face? ”
”It's cold and dry, and you'll get chapped if you don't wipe your face. When are we going to get a man? ”I didn't prepare anything for the new year, and I still wanted to buy a box of paste, although the sesame oil worked, it was too much to use, and it hurt too much if you don't wipe your face. If I let Niu Niu and the others wipe it, they wouldn't like it, and if there was a paste, they would definitely be willing to rub it, and if you didn't see how dry Niu's face was, I wouldn't even dare to let her blow the wind, I'm afraid it would blow.”
Xiao Dazong looked at Xu Hui's face, which was covered in sesame oil. It was so bright that it looked like it had just been wiped clean. He felt extremely muddled upon looking at it.
Thinking about what Lin Qianhu had said, Xiao Da Yong smiled and said to Xu Hui, ”Lin Qianhu said that the snow on the road is real, so he is planning to send a sledge team to Ming Zhou Province to bring back the New Year goods that command prepared. I will tell Senior Qian Hu that we will follow him, and if there is anything you need, I will bring it back to you!” He could read a lot of words now, and he would definitely be able to understand the list written by his wife.
”Sled? A dog pulling a sledge? ”
”Wifey, you, hehehehe, you're not playing with children, what's the point of a dog pulling a sledge? Besides, we don't have any dogs here.
”Then what's the use?”
”Horse, a sleigh with two horses and one sleigh can be pulled up to a few hundred or even a thousand pounds!” Xiao Da Yong had always felt that Xu Hui knew more than he did. This was the first time he had seen her in such a muddled state, so she could not help but feel cute. She could not help but hug her wife and said, ”When the renovations are finished, I'll take you to the sleigh.”
”Really? Can we go out? ”Don't you forget to bring us to sit.”
”Don't worry, I won't forget. Wife, come sit here. Let me massage your shoulders, is it sore on your shoulders?”
Xu Hui nodded and followed Xiao Da Yong's strength as he sat down on the fire stool.
Xiao Dayong squatted behind Xu Hui, carefully massaging Xu Hui's back and said softly, ”Lin Qianhu also said that after the house is fixed, we will have a courtyard when spring starts. When that time comes, we will not have to live together with Gou Sheng anymore, let Niu Niu take her own room … we will have a room …”
