Female Farming Pond Fish

Chapter 27 Gathering Firewood

Finally, Chi Xiaotong finished taking the medicine and her arm was almost healed. Doctor Li told her to take some more care and not to do heavy work this winter to avoid stretching it again.

I gave Tian Yu another dose of medicine, which cost four coins. He would not need to drink it after he finished it. He should not get hurt again, and should not do strenuous exercise or overexertion. He would be completely healed by the beginning of next spring.

Chi Xiaotong thanked him and took Tian Yu home.

……

When she got home, she had nothing to do. Chi Xiaotong sat on the bed and felt a little sleepy. So she lay down. She saw her husband go out in a daze.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. Tian Yu had gone out! He hurried after him.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, where are you going?" Chi Xiaotong stopped Tian Yu and asked. Her husband had never been out of the house except when he was with her since they got married. His legs were not very good, where was he going?

"Wife, don't you want to sleep?" Tian Yu came out after seeing Chi Xiaotong lying down. It was pitch black at night, and it was fine for the two of them to lie on the bed and fall asleep in a short while. But in the broad daylight, he couldn't sleep. When his wife fell asleep, he thought about picking up some firewood. Unexpectedly, Chi Xiaotong chased him out.

"I'm a little sleepy. Where are you going instead of staying at home to rest?" Chi Xiaotong was afraid that he would go too far and get hurt again, so his tone was a little anxious.

"No, I'm not going anywhere! I'm just going to the foot of the mountain to pick up some firewood. There's not much left at home!" Tian Yu was frightened and explained.

Chi Xiaotong then realized that her tone was too hasty and frightened people. She softened her tone and said, "Xiao Yu, I'm afraid you'll get hurt if you go out by yourself. My tone was a little hasty, don't be afraid!"

"Yeah," Tian Yu nodded, but still didn't dare to look up. He was afraid that if he came out without permission, he would make Chi Xiaotong angry. Although they had been together for a long time and knew that Chi Xiaotong was a good person, Tian Yu was still a little scared.

"My dear wife, I won't go. Don't be angry!" Seeing Chi Xiaotong didn't say anything, Tian Yu pulled her clothes and whispered.

Chi Xiaotong sighed: "I'm not angry! Xiaoyu, you don't have to be afraid."

Hearing the helplessness in Chi Xiaotong's tone, Tian Yu still didn't dare to look up. This kind of timidity and fear has been engraved in his bones. From his childhood experience, he has formed a conditioned reflex. As long as someone "questions", it is his fault and he will be beaten.

Chi Xiaotong knew that this could not be changed overnight. She reached out and pulled Tian Yu into her arms. She stroked his back gently to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, my wife!" After a pause, Tian Yu apologized.

Chi Xiaotong asked: "Why do you say sorry?"

"I ran away without telling my wife, and made her worry." He paused, then continued, "My wife cared about me, but I didn't understand and even asked her to coax me." His voice became smaller and smaller.

If the two of them weren't close to each other, Chi Xiaotong might not have been able to hear it clearly.

"Silly boy, we are husband and wife! We are supposed to understand each other. If you don't understand this time, then forget it! It's not a big deal, and you don't know what I think. This is normal!

I comfort you because you are my husband! I scared you, so naturally I have to comfort you. Right?" Chi Xiaotong pinched his face and said.

Tian Yu was a little confused. Is this true?

Chi Xiaotong continued: "Besides, you were doing your business. I was in a hurry and scared you. I should be the one to apologize to you. I'm sorry for scaring you!"

"No, no, no need. No, my wife shouldn't say sorry to me." Hearing Chi Xiaotong's words, Tian Yu couldn't speak clearly.

"Pfft, how come you've become a stutterer!" Chi Xiaotong scratched his nose and laughed out loud.

Tian Yu's face flushed immediately. This action was too intimate. He lowered his head and said nothing.

"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore. Let's go collect firewood. I'll go with you!" Tian Yu didn't say anything for a long time, and Chi Xiaotong didn't know how to continue the topic, so she simply changed the subject.

She also wanted to get closer to her husband, but the conditions did not allow it! First, her husband was only fifteen, still a child, and she felt guilty about touching him. Second, her husband was shy, and his face would turn red if she was teased a little. Third, she did not know how they could get close to each other.

She had never been in a relationship before, and her experience of watching other people fall in love was not suitable for them. So let it go!

"No, my wife's arm is not okay!" Tian Yu retorted immediately. Then he realized that his voice was too loud and lowered his head immediately.

"I'm fine now! Doctor Li said it's fine, I just needed to pick up some firewood!" To prove it, he moved a few times.

Tian Yu was still worried, but he didn't dare to stop them loudly.

The young man didn't say anything, which meant he didn't make sense. Chi Xiaotong continued to discuss: "I'll just follow you, and don't move this arm, okay?"

The wife discussed with him in a soft voice. This was not the case before. No one in the Tian family cared about him, so he developed a taciturn character. If no one listened to what he said once, he could not continue to speak, otherwise he would be beaten.

Tian Yu agreed, and the two went together. The snow had melted a little, but the road was still a little difficult to walk on. Chi Xiaotong kept an eye on Tian Yu, fearing that he would fall.

Tian Yu walked steadily and at a fairly fast pace. Chi Xiaotong had to walk fast to keep up. My husband has good stamina!

Tian Yu was the one who collected firewood for the Tian family all year round. He was quite experienced and had collected a lot of firewood before he even went into the mountains.

The two of them tied the firewood they had collected into bundles. Chi Xiaotong did not let Tian Yu carry it. Seeing that he had carried it several times, she had no right to help. Now his legs were still not good, and she had stretched her arm, but her shoulder was fine. Of course, she had to carry it herself.

Tian Yu was about to cry. How could a wife carry firewood while her husband just watched her?

"Be good, when your legs are healed and you're well, I won't compete with you for work. I'll lie down every day and let you serve me!" Chi Xiaotong joked with Tian Yu.

"It's okay now!" Tian Yu said in a crying voice.

"That won't do. What if my husband gets too tired? I'll feel bad for him!" Chi Xiaotong said this deliberately to divert his attention.

I'm too shy to even think about working!

Tian Yu didn't buy it. He held the firewood and tried his best to lighten the weight on Chi Xiaotong's shoulders.

When they got home and threw the firewood on the ground, Chi Xiaotong immediately pulled her husband into her arms.

"Don't cry, don't cry! My wife is wrong. I won't rob her next time! Don't cry!" Tian Yu cried without making a sound. Chi Xiaotong saw that the young husband's face was covered with tears. She coaxed him and took him into the house.
