Chapter 20 – Who Are You Trying to Show Off To?

“No, wife, you… You have changed so much that I almost didn’t recognize you.” Ji Jianyun held back quite a while, and finally came out with this kind of sentence.

“What? Did I become ugly?” Su Danhong raised her eyebrows.

“No, you look good, you look beautiful!” Ji Jianyun said as he looked at her.

“There’s still a whole year for you to look at me. Just don’t get tired of looking at me. Eat the dumplings soon. It’ll get cold if you wait.” Su Danhong smiled at him and sat next to him.

“Why don’t you have some too?” Ji Jianyun asked. 

“I have eaten,” Su Danhong said. “It’s fine for you to eat by yourself.”

Ji Jianyun began to eat. The dumplings tasted really good. The dumpling skin was thin, but the filling was big. It was delicious. His wife’s cooking was different.

While he ate, he couldn’t help himself and looked up at his college-like wife.

Su Danhong sat there for him to look at her. A large bowl of dumplings was quickly eaten up. Ji Jianyun felt that he had come back to life.

“The water in the pot is ready. I’ll scoop some water for your feet to soak in,” Su Danhong said and scooped some hot water to wash his bowl and chopsticks.

“I’ll do it myself, just let me do it,” Ji Jianyun rushed to say.

Su Danhong smiled and said, “Then do it yourself. I’ll go back to my room first. You can take the hot water back to the room and wash up. You would have to walk back if you wash up here, and that’ll be a waste.”

Having said that, she left the foolish boy and went back first. Ji Jianyun watched her go back. He quickly scooped the hot water and followed her back to the room.

He didn’t know why, but he didn’t have a sense of security anymore. It was like his wife would fly away if his eyes left her.

When he came back, Su Danhong gave him a new towel and found him a new set of pajamas.

Ji Jianyun wiped his body and soaked his feet. He was much more refreshed after putting on his new pajamas.

“Honey,” Ji Jianyun called out.

“What is it?” Su Danhong looked at him.

In the dim light, her goose egg face was extraordinarily soft and delicate. Her bright eyes matched her facial features, and she was very gentle and beautiful. She looked like the wife Ji Jianyun dreamed of when he was a teenager.

As he looked at her, his heart was pounding.

“It’s getting late. Let’s sleep as soon as possible and visit father and mother tomorrow,” Su Danhong stated.

“Okay!” Ji Jianyun nodded.

He blew the lamp and touched the kang. He was a little strange at first because his wife seemed to be a different person.

But when he got on the kang, his sense of strangeness was gone.

He got on top of her almost without any hesitation.

“Jianyun, you just got back and rushed back the entire way. Let’s sleep tonight.” In the dark, Su Danhong’s face was very red and her heart was beating very fast.

“Honey, just once. Let’s just do it once,” Ji Jianyun whispered.

Su Danhong hesitated for a moment and then let him.

When everything was calm, Su Danhong was exhausted. Despite her strength, she could not withstand this hungry wolf.

Ji Jianyun held his wife and slept very contenly that night.

The next day, it was obvious that Su Danhong went to bed late. When she got up, she heard Aunt Yang greeting Ji Jianyun outside.

Su Danhong, who was still lying in bed, blushed a little when she remembered what happened last night. At the same time, her heart was full of sweetness and happiness.

She could clearly feel that this man liked her.

Outside the door, Aunt Yang pulled Ji Jianyun away to speak to him.

“Jianyun, you don’t know, but Danhong has become very filial now. Usually, if she has something to eat, then she will be at your parents’ side. There are so many daughter-in-laws in the whole village, but I’ve never seen any as filial as her. You don’t know since you’ve outside, but aunt will tell you right now that if you bully Danhong, then aunt will be the first person you need to answer to!” Aunt Yang declared and smiled.

Ji Jianyun swiftly said, “Aunt Yang, I love my wife so much that there’s not enough time for anything else. How can I bully her?”

“Then that’s good. Danhong is a good girl. Go to the kitchen and take a look. She knew that you were coming back, so she whipped up a kitchen full of food for you and waited for you to come back to eat,” Aunt Yang said.

Ji Jianyun had already seen it. He used a lot of energy on his wife last night, so this morning he was so hungry that his stomach growled. He went over to the kitchen and it was full of food. He only had to heat it up.

As soon as he ate several meatballs and a large bowl of dumplings, he nibbled on several deep-fried ribs. The bones were given to Xiao Hei to eat.

After Aunt Yang chatted with him for a while, she didn’t disturb him anymore.

When Ji Jianyun returned to his room, he saw that his wife was awake. He leaned over and whispered, “Honey, do you want to sleep more?”

Su Danhong glared at him. She slept in as soon as he came back. What would everyone think? They would definitely joke around.

Moreover, because she drank the spiritual spring water over such a long period of time, don’t underestimate her. Her health was very good.

“Hey, hey.” Ji Jianyun chuckled and knew that he had gone a little too far last night. He saw that she was going to get up, so he quickly helped her up.

Su Danhong changed her clothes and went to wash her face. Afterwards, she went to the kitchen and saw signs of the fire being used. She asked, “Did you eat?”

“I ate a bowl of dumplings, I didn’t wake you up since you were still sleeping,” Ji Jianyun said. “You can cook another bowl for me.”

Su Danhong prepared three bowls of beef dumplings and scooped several pork balls into it. Although it was fried, it was delicious. It was also good in soup.

Three bowls of beef dumplings were ready. Su Danhong only needed half a bowl. Ji Jianyun had one and a half bowls. The remaining bowl was naturally for Xiao Hei.

“Say, how did Xiao Hei grow? Last time you said in your letter that he was a puppy. He’s so big now. No wonder you fed him like this for so long,” When Ji Jianyun looked, he suddenly said this.

“It’s worth feeding Xiao Hei like that.” Su Danhong raised her eyebrows to point out what she meant.

“It is.” Ji Jianyun nodded.

Last night, Xiao Hei’s vigilance and strength were wonderful. That was, if it was another adult man who came last night, then he would be disabled if he wasn’t bitten to death. He was a good protector of the home!

Su Danhong brought out the bowl to feed Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei ate with delight and ate quickly. He  licked his mouth to say he did not eat enough. All the bones thrown to him by Ji Jianyun just then were gnawed by him.

However, Su Danhong didn’t feed him again. This large bowl of dumplings. If he was not 80% to 90% full, then 60% was fine.

Ji Jianyun came back. Xiao Hei was no longer tied up, but was the same as before. Xiao Hei still did not like going out and continued to guard the yard.

This made Ji Jianyun more satisfied with Xiao Hei.

The couple went to the Ji family after breakfast and brought a large bowl of meatballs with a large bowl of deep-fried ribs.

Today was New Year’s Eve. It wasn’t only the couple there, but there was also Feng Fangfang’s family and the Ji Mudan’s family, as well as Lao Si and his wife, who taught in Jiangshui City.

It was an old rule for everyone to have New Year’s Eve dinner around the big table.

“Yo, you’ve brought so many good things over here. Yet, you didn’t bring anything when  third brother wasn’t here. Who are you trying to show off to?!” 

Ji Yunyun came out and saw them coming. She immediately sneered when she specifically saw the big bowl of meatballs and deep-fried ribs.
