Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 87 - 87:  84 He actually fell asleep!

“Ye Lei…”

Liu Sisi called out softly.

Her voice was hoarse, and her breath continually brushed against his strong body.

He was covered with sweat, which dripped from his skin. His face was twisted, but his actions were extremely gentle.

It was as if she was the most precious and rare glaze cup in the world, and he held her carefully.

The sight before him captured all of his vision and spirit.

He took a deep breath, and a low growl emitted from deep in his throat, burying his face in her, reluctant to leave. Liu Sisi could hardly control herself and couldn’t resist…

But she couldn’t wait for the next step!

Liu Sisi couldn’t help gently pushing the man on top of her, only to hear the faint snoring coming from his mouth.

“Ye Lei? Ye Lei!”

Liu Sisi gently patted his face.

However, he instinctively moved to the side, rolled over, and continued to sleep deeply.

If it weren’t for the dark circles under his eyes, Liu Sisi would have thought he was deliberately teasing her!

She bit her small mouth and stubbornly tried pushing him again.

But he accurately caught her naughty hand, placed it on his chest, and fell asleep deeply again.

Liu Sisi rolled her eyes, feeling embarrassed.

Even though her desires had just been eased, the unspeakable regret in her heart made her annoyed enough to pinch his arm hard.

Realizing her improper actions, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Seeing him frowning in his sleep but still sleeping deeply, she finally laughed happily.

It seemed he was really exhausted!

After tidying herself up, she leaned into his arms and fell asleep with a smile.

When Di Yelei awoke again, his previous memories rushed back. It seemed… that he was in the middle of something with Sisi, and then what happened?

He suddenly sat up and saw the sleeping woman beside him.

Her face wore a peaceful smile as she slept soundly.

He regretted missing such a great opportunity to make her truly his own!

Looking up at the sky, it was already dusk.

He reluctantly got up quickly to dress, considering whether to wake Liu Sisi. Before he could say anything, she opened her eyes.

Upon seeing his broad back, she blushed and quickly covered her eyes, but couldn’t resist taking a peek through a narrow slit at the man in front of her. That strong back, that broad chest, and those tightened muscles…

“What do you think, Sisi? Are you satisfied with your husband’s body?”

His back seemed to have eyes, even though he was facing away from her, his teasing words reached Liu Sisi. She let out a cry and quickly closed her eyes in embarrassment.

It was… so awkward!

Di Yelei couldn’t help laughing. Although his back was to her, he could hear her waking up and her sudden, fast breathing.

He secretly rejoiced, was Sisi’s reaction an indication that she felt something for him too? Realizing this, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

With a long reach, he grabbed her in one swift motion.

“Ah! What are you doing? Let go! It’s getting dark, and I need to cook dinner. Otherwise, your Second Sister-in-law will have something to say.” Liu Sisi blushed and instinctively pushed him away.

Di Yelei stared at her intently, with an inexplicable brightness flashing in his deep eyes. He suddenly leaned in and gave her a fierce kiss.

Not until both were panting for breath did he let her go again.

Looking at the melted Liu Sisi beneath him, her big eyes fluttering constantly, she was so sweet that he hated to not seize her repeatedly.

Immediately afterward, he revealed a row of shiny white teeth with satisfaction!

“Sisi, I’ll go over to the old house first and check things out. Cooking dinner will be hard work for you.” As he spoke, he hugged her tightly.

Liu Sisi gave him a sideways glance, the allure in the depths of her eyes almost breaking his self-control.

“You better hurry up! It won’t be good if anything unexpected happens. Once I’m done cooking, you can come back and carry it.”

How could Di Yelei let go when faced with such a look?

He wrapped around her again, and the two of them were affectionate for a while before he reluctantly left.

Liu Sisi also tidied herself up and went into the kitchen.

Making coarse grain porridge was naturally easy, and there was still more than half of the fern left from noon, so she made a cold fern dish. Then she scooped up the glutinous rice soaked yesterday, chopped the oil residue finely, added chopped green onions, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings to mix, and filled the small intestines.

She rolled the remaining glutinous rice into four happiness meatballs.

Then she picked some wild vegetables, water spinach, and chives to blanch and make cold dishes. She took out a small amount of each, cut them finely, chopped the dried shrimp, and mixed in white sugar to make the bean dregs left over from making soy milk. She quickly wrapped the buns with the well-risen white dough. With added white sugar, the six different fillings for the small buns quickly took shape in her hands.

Once the porridge in the pot was cooked, she added water to cook the glutinous rice sausage. She then placed the steaming basket on top and steamed the buns directly.

As she was busy, Sister Guihua hurriedly entered from outside.

“Sisi, I heard your father-in-law’s illness is serious. Is that true?”

As she spoke, she quickly put down the bamboo basket in her hand and took out the few fresh vegetables she had.

Guihua was also a little embarrassed, “These vegetables were picked last minute from the field, they’re still fresh! I was worried about you and rushed over, but there might not be much…”

“Sister Guihua, you saying that makes Sisi feel utterly humiliated. I’ve always been eating your family’s vegetables, and I still…”

Liu Sisi didn’t know how to continue.

“Hey! Let’s not bother with formalities between us. Look at all the things you have to deal with. I also have food steaming at my home.” Guihua hurriedly left.

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but sigh as she saw the buns and glutinous rice sausage already steamed and cooked. She scooped them up and sliced them directly onto a plate.

Moreover, she also fried a dish of dry fried small fish, pickled cabbage and fish, and daylily soup.

The daylilies in the courtyard had already been harvested twice. She blanched them with boiled water at noon and let them sun dry on bamboo strips. She hadn’t expected the sun to be so strong in the summer that they were now thoroughly dried, perfect for making soup.

As usual, she simmered a small bowl of meat porridge for her father-in-law. When the rice in the pot was finally cooked, Liu Sisi made another soup with wild mushrooms before taking a long breath.

Four dessert dishes, four warm dishes, four cold dishes, two soup dishes—this was all she could cook with everything she had!

As she was arranging the dishes, Di Yelei returned.

“Sisi, you’re so capable! Turning the rotten into magical! If it were me, I’d be lucky to make two or three dishes out of these ingredients! Not only did you manage to cook so many dishes, but your speed was also incredible!”

Seeing that she had prepared so many dishes again, he couldn’t help but be astonished! In a situation where food materials were scarce, if it were him, he would be at a loss.

Being recognized by him, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but feel a thrill of joy in her heart.

“Alright, don’t just stand there. Quickly pack it up and carry it away. If these dishes get cold, the taste will be much worse!”
