Quick Wear: With the cub in hand, the world is mine

Hua Ke looked at her embroidered shoes and asked softly, "Have I ever kissed you, hugged you, and lifted you up before?"

"Well, you are very strong."

The man was lost in memories. Twenty-six years ago, on the Flower Festival on February 12, he saw Xiao Ke for the first time on the Ankang Bridge in Yanlai Town. She, her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law were selling flowers on the bridge. She was very unique. She matched different flowers together and took her brother-in-law to the bridge to chant the meanings of different kinds of flowers. It was the first time he knew that each flower had its own language.

She was very good at selling flowers, which aroused the jealousy of her peers. They threatened her to leave Ankang Bridge and not to steal business nearby.

Xiao Ke, who had a bad temper, naturally didn't want to do that. When others pushed her and her mother-in-law, she actually carried a man taller than her and threw him into the river. That was the first time he saw her strength.

After the man who bullied her was thrown into the river, the other woman cursed her that she would never be able to get married and would have to live in a nunnery and live out her life in loneliness.

Xiao Ke said indifferently, "If I don't want to get married, then I won't get married. Even if I live in a nunnery, I will always live better than you!" The next second, her mother-in-law covered her mouth in frustration. The brother-in-law cursed the woman who cursed Xiao Ke, "Bounce back, bounce back. You are the daughter and granddaughter of an old witch and you will never get married! My sister will definitely get married!"

He was deeply impressed by Xiao Ke's family that day, so when the matchmaker came to propose marriage, he immediately agreed when he knew it was her. He was glad that he had a good-looking face and was favored by Xiao Ke...

The only time Xiao Ke lifted him up was after they drank the wedding wine on their wedding night. She was so drunk that she had to hold him up. After holding him for a quarter of an hour, she asked for spicy hot pot and stinky tofu, saying that this was the reward he should give her, otherwise she would not go to sleep. How could he know how to cook those unfamiliar foods? In the end, she went back to bed and taught him many strange gestures...

"Did it hurt a lot when you were injured?" Hua Ke reached out her hand to the man's cheek, and her fingertips followed the hideous scar from his forehead to his cheekbone.

Wen Lin bravely grabbed Hua Ke's wrist and said, "It hurts, but it's not as painful as losing you. Xiao Ke, I'm disfigured now, do you mind this?"

Hearing this, Si Niu, who was still angry, became even angrier.

Damn it, this person is trying to steal his grandmother! He is the foxy girl that Granny Chen mentioned!

"Grandma, I want to take a bath and wear new clothes." Si Niu hugged Hua Ke's waist and acted coquettishly, interrupting the ambiguity between the two.

Hua Ke broke her hand free from the other person's hand, and after seeing Si Niu's little thoughts, she took Si Niu to the kitchen to fetch water.

Wen Lin followed behind, "Xiao Ke, let me do it, Si Niu, do you need me to rub your body for you?"

"No! I can wash it myself."

Erniu came running over, "Si Niu, I'll wash with you, we can save some water!"

Si Niu: “…”

The weather was cold. Before a cup of tea had even passed, Hua Ke was outside the bathroom door urging the two children to get dressed and go out to take a bath. They were grumbling and shouting, and the water would get cold if they continued to make a fuss.

On New Year's Eve, every household hung lanterns and the children followed the adults to play with firecrackers. Hearing that Wen Lin was not dead, Wen Yan and several people who were familiar with Wen Lin came to the Wen family's yard to chat.

Wen Lin did not continue to wear the mask. He did not see any displeasure in Xiao Ke's eyes, so he calmly revealed his face to the public.

"Except for the scar, your face hasn't changed much. Unlike us, it's dark and wrinkled." Wen Yan patted his old friend's shoulder. "You've been in the capital for so many years, you must have done something great. After the New Year, are you going to take them to the capital?"

"If I want to see Xiao Ke, I'll be wherever she is." He didn't want to talk about his life in the capital with others.

Everyone started to make a noise, "You've been apart for so many years, but your relationship is still as good as before. Back then, you were the most affectionate couple in our Shicheng Village."

Wen Lin laughed. He felt more comfortable in his hometown. The villagers were not cunning. In the capital, he had to pay attention to too many things. Life was more tiring. He had to think twice before speaking. With Xiao Ke's personality, she might not be willing to go to the capital with him.

Is it sticky? She didn't have much of an impression. Hua Ke sat by the window and wiped her long hair. When her hair was dry, the people outside were still chatting. Si Niu didn't sleep at noon and was the first to run back to the room, "Grandma, I'm sleepy." Not long after, Er Niu also came over with his little pillow, "Grandpa, can I ride Grandpa's big horse tomorrow?"

"Ask him yourself tomorrow and let him take you."

Hua Ke told the two children the story of Jingwei filling the sea. After the story, the two children fell into a deep sleep. Hua Ke yawned and fell asleep on the bed without even closing the door.

Everyone went back, and Wen Lin was alone in the yard keeping watch. The house was quiet. He got up and walked to Hua Ke's room. Seeing that the door was not closed tightly, he hesitated for half a second, then gently pushed the door open and walked to Hua Ke's bed.

During the New Year holidays, the oil lamps in the house would not be turned off but would remain lit all night long, so Wen Lin could clearly see her unrestrained sleeping posture.

His thick hair covered the pillow, his entire face was curled up in the quilt, and one foot in stockings was exposed outside the quilt.

"Is it comfortable to sleep on your stomach?" Wen Lin whispered softly and put her exposed feet back into the quilt.

Hua Ke was unconscious. She was dreaming. In the dream, it was her and not her.

She dreamed of her wedding night more than 20 years ago, when she was alone in the room with her groom, whom she had just met. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, sitting on a crudely made bed, with her vision blocked by a wedding veil.

As the footsteps approached, her heart began to pound, and she couldn't tell whether it was the original body that was nervous or she.

When she grabbed the hem of her skirt, the veil was lifted. She looked up and saw Wen Lin, who was full of scholarly spirit. He was wearing a red robe and had a gentle smile on his face. "My lady, you are so beautiful."

After drinking the wedding wine, Hua Ke thought of what her parents said. Hahaha, they were afraid that she would not be able to get married, but they didn't expect that there was still a handsome guy who knew what was good in her. She wouldn't have to go to a nunnery in the future, and her parents also saved a lot of head tax. In excitement, she picked up Wen Lin, and Wen Lin was so scared that he dared not move.

"Ma'am, put me down."

"No! I'm giving out benefits! This is your honor."

A quarter of an hour later, Hua Ke's stomach growled, so she put Wen Lin down and said, "Xiao Lin, I want to eat spicy hot pot! It has tripe, duck blood, fish balls, tofu puffs, potatoes, kelp, and Chinese cabbage..."

After making a fuss for a long time, Wen Lin did not meet her request, so she had to lie on the bed and eat the red dates on the quilt. She felt so pitiful that she could not eat what she wanted.

Just as she finished eating the last red date, she was suddenly picked up by someone. Hua Ke was startled. Wen Lin's deep voice rang out, "Madam, let's go to bed."
