Chen Dongzhi tried on the two sets of clothes he bought. They were just the right size. Touching the new clothes on his body, he turned around and took out ten taels of silver from his old clothes. "Here, this is the salary for this time. I'll give it all to you."

Zhong Ruyi took it with a smile, but her sharp eyes noticed that a corner of the book cover was exposed from the bag containing the spare clothes, and the word "招式" could be vaguely seen on it.

She acted as if nothing had happened and pretended to take his clothes out for washing.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she quickly put the booklet in front of her chest, rubbed her clothes several times with bath beads, washed them clean and hung them up to dry.

Seeing Chen Dongzhi sleeping in the inner room, she found a corner and took out the booklet. She wanted to see what was worth hiding like this?

The booklet is quite thick. When you open it, there is no table of contents or anything on the first page, just a picture.

Zhong Ruyi took a look, didn't react, and then turned to the next page.

???

When she turned to the second page, she understood. A picture of fairies fighting?

The papers rustled as she flipped through them, page after page, and the fighting movements on each page were different.

Zhong Ruyi closed the booklet with force. She had just glanced at it quickly and found that there were some movements on it that Chen Dongzhi had used to coax her at night.

No wonder their skills are so much better than when they first got married?

So there is technical guidance?

How can you not be proficient in it if you read this booklet every day?

While everyone was asleep, she stuffed the booklet into a corner of the closet and covered it with a few clothes.

At night, the man who had slept well during the day began to torment her. When they were done, panting and hugging each other, Zhong Ruyi patted the man who was still on top of her and said, "Go, boil some water and wipe it."

After a long while, the man got out of bed and boiled some water to wash himself briefly before going to bed.

Zhong Ruyi turned over and lay on her back, dozing off for a while, and when she was almost falling asleep, the water was just boiled.

After a quick wash, the two went to bed.

...

She was awakened early in the morning by the smell of food. There was no one sleeping on the other bed. She touched the bed and found it was very cold. She thought the person sleeping on it must have gotten up early but did not wake her up.

After washing up, he sat at the dining table, where three dishes and a soup were already placed. The soup was pork bone soup that Chen Dongzhi had bought from the butcher's house early in the morning and had boiled for more than an hour.

Looking at the table full of such sumptuous dishes, Zhong Ruyi wanted to ask if this was breakfast or lunch?

She took the chopsticks handed to her, picked up a piece of spicy fried mushrooms, and praised, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better. This mushroom is also very tender. Where did you get it?"

"Auntie Tian gave it to me this morning when I went to the butcher's to buy meat."

Chen Dongzhi served her a bowl of soup, put it aside to cool, and then started to prepare for dinner.

"Have you fed the horses?"

"Hey."

The two stayed at home all morning. When it was almost noon, it was dark again and it soon started to rain. The sound of the rain covered up the sound of their conversation.

The rain came quickly and went away quickly. The sky after the rain was as clean as a piece of glass and bright.

Li Guihua came to her and verbally told her about the candidates for the selection of outstanding employees this month.

This idea was only proposed this month. Zhong Ruyi had never thought about doing this before. This is because there were too many orders in the past two months. The Fang family alone ordered 4,000 cans of food a month.

The people in the workshop never stop working every day. She has seen the auntie who was making canned meat floss use medicated wine on her hands several times. She guessed that from frequently shaking the wok, her hands would inevitably become sore after doing the same thing for a long time.

Selecting outstanding employees is also a recognition of their work and a way to thank them for their hard work for the workshop.

"...Xu Ya, Wu Chunsheng, Zhou Xiaohua, Zhong Guirong, Zhong Xingmei."

"These are the candidates for Outstanding Employee of the Month, and three more were chosen for Improved Employee."

Zhong Ruyi nodded, picked up a piece of paper and wrote down her name. This piece of paper was a few extra pieces of paper she bought for Shitou, and she used it to write and draw when she had nothing to do.

After writing down all the names, I asked if there were any more to add. Li Guihua shook her head and said with some embarrassment, "You wrote it down, but I can't read!"

Can’t read?

Zhong Ruyi thought about it and realized that she had forgotten about this. If she asked her sister-in-law to help her look at the account book in the future, wouldn’t she be completely in the dark?

But don’t we still have stones and a river at home? These two have been studying for a few months now, so they should be able to understand the words, right?

"How about letting Shitou teach you? Didn't my elder brother study in a private school for a year? He can teach you, too, sister-in-law?"

Li Guihua curled her lips, "What about your elder brother? He has read so much that he can't even write his own name if you ask him to. It's a waste of money to send him to school, not to mention he has to teach me."

"I'd better rely on the stone. I don't dare to think about your elder brother."

She took the paper back and met Zhong Laosan and Chen Dongzhi on the way. They were returning from somewhere.

I casually said, "You're running outside right after the rain?"

The two called out "sister-in-law", and Zhong Laosan said with a smile, "Let's go out for a walk and see if there are any mushrooms to pick and bring back for Ying to satisfy her craving."

Li Guihua nodded. She knew that her sister-in-law had a hard time carrying this baby. Yesterday, she heard her mother-in-law say that she had no appetite. She clearly said she wanted to eat dumplings, but after they were wrapped and put into the pot, she said she didn't want to eat anymore.

She spoke earnestly to Zhong Lao San, "Women are like this. It's hard to be pregnant and it's hard to give birth. It's inevitable that they will have a bad temper during pregnancy. Lao San, you have to give in to her and don't get angry with Huang Ying!"

When Zhong Laosan talked about his wife, he just smiled foolishly, responded naively, and watched his sister-in-law go away.

Turning around, he saw his brother-in-law with a thoughtful look on his face. He bumped his shoulder and asked jokingly, "What's wrong? Didn't you have enough fun just now?"

While they were in the village and hadn't gone out, the two of them went to Yangliu Village to ambush Zhou Yaozu and beat him up before returning.

"That's not it." Chen Dongzhi said, "How many months old is Third Sister-in-law now?"

Zhong Laosan counted the days and said, "It's been more than five months. She's been losing her temper lately. I thought about not going to the escort agency, but she disagreed, saying that men should go out and try their luck."

He was a little depressed and said that he didn't want to be a bodyguard. He had not had this idea before, but one time when he came back from outside, he saw his wife sitting alone in the yard crying. When he asked her what was wrong, she couldn't tell him clearly. She just suddenly missed her parents, and thought about how her uncle and aunt had to take care of her recently, making her like a useless person and unable to make wine, which made her even more depressed.

Looking at his wife's sad expression and the tears on her face, he suddenly said that he would not go to the escort agency anymore, and would stay at home to farm and take care of her.

"That won't do! How can a grown man like you follow your wife around all day? If someone sees you, you'll be laughed at!"

Huang Ying refused without thinking and stopped crying. She analyzed with him how much money his family would have to spend on food and drink if he stopped being a bodyguard and how much money he could earn from farming. In short, she refused to let him quit his job.

"Can you earn more from farming all year round than from escorting? I also want to wait until the child is born. If it's a boy, I'll send him to school, just like the children of my eldest and second sister-in-law. Education costs a lot of money!"

Seeing that his wife was getting more and more excited, he could only temporarily give up this idea.

When Chen Dongzhi heard these words, he felt a little frightened, because when he was a child, he had actually seen the scene when Chen's mother gave birth to Xiaoxue.

The midwife who was hired had people carry out basin after basin of blood. My mother, who used to speak gently, was now screaming heart-wrenchingly inside.

Perhaps realizing that he was scared, Father Chen gently covered his ears and carried him to the main room to sit down.

Everyone thought he was young, but this tragic scene had always been deeply engraved in his mind. Now it was brought up again because of a few words from Zhong Laosan.
