Chapter 29

Why did she feel that Li Yao was not in a good mood?

Obviously I made money from selling fish!

“Did you have a fight with someone?”

“No.” Li Yao said as he took off his coat, “I was just a little tired, and I fell on my bike on the road.”

“Sure?”

“Um.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell the truth, Ning Jia really couldn’t think of anything that could make him unhappy even though he made money. Since he didn’t want to tell her, she didn’t ask.

Li Yao took the washbasin and scooped a basin of cold water from the kitchen to wash up, then returned to the house. He thought Ning Jia had already gone to bed, but he didn’t expect that the girl was sitting on the kang, counting money with her legs swinging.

“More than 70 yuan!” Ning Jia waved the bills in his hand and called him over. “You made so much money this time. Did you share the money with Fifth Brother?”

Li Yao nodded: “Yes. Almost all the fish in that bubble have been caught.”

This means this is the last time I sell fish.

Ning Jia’s eyes sparkled: “It doesn’t matter. There must be some small fish that were missed. By next year, the small fish will become big fish that can be sold and eaten.”

“Um.”

“Don’t just hum. I have planned this money. When my leg is healed, take me to town and we’ll buy some things and put our house in order.”

Ning Jia’s words aroused his interest: “What do you want to buy?”

“Let’s buy a few pounds of cotton first. We have to make another quilt, right?”

Li Yao: “…”

This…is not necessary!

“I’ll buy some more cloth to make you a new set of clothes.” Ning Jia had never seen Li Yao wear a piece of clothing without patches.

He is obviously a handsome guy, but his clothes drag down his looks a bit.

“The rest is just some food… I haven’t thought of anything more. What do you think?”

Li Yao was silent for a moment, then he spoke: “We will heat the kang in winter, so it won’t be too cold in this room. Let’s buy cotton to make cotton clothes and quilts… It will be enough for the two of us to cover ourselves for the winter.”

Ning Jia almost forgot that she still had to make cotton-padded clothes this winter.

Why!

I miss the good life in the 21st century, and I miss the winters with cashmere coats and down jackets!

“Then buy some more cotton, make two sets of cotton clothes and a quilt!”

Li Yao: “You can’t buy that much cotton.”

Ning Jia looked regretful: “Oh, then let’s make cotton clothes first.”

“good.”

Ning Jia rolled the money into a roll, put it with a rubber band, wrapped it in a handkerchief, put it in the cabinet on the head of the kang, and locked it.

“Go to bed, it’s getting late.” After being busy all night, Li Yao was tired.

“Wait a minute.” Ning Jia took out a bottle of alcohol and cotton balls from the drawer under the cabinet and crawled to Li Yao. She opened the bottle cap and used a cotton ball to wipe Li Yao’s forehead with some alcohol. “We need to disinfect it to prevent the wound from getting infected.”

The moment the alcohol touched the wound, Li Yao frowned.

“Does it hurt? Bear with it for a while.” Ning Jia wiped the wound with a cotton ball and blew gently on it.

The moment she approached, Li Yao smelled a pleasant scent from her body. He knew it was the scent of the vanishing cream, but it was not exactly the same.

I always feel that this smell is mixed with Ning Jia’s own scent, a very soft, subtle fragrance.

The fragrance emanated from her collar. Li Yao closed his eyes and her snow-white body appeared in his mind. His throat slid up and down a few times, his ears felt hot and his face turned red.

“Huh?” Ning Jia noticed, “Why is your face red?”

Li Yao: “It hurts.”

“Yes.” Ning Jia agreed, “This alcohol disinfection is very painful, but it’s a pity that there is no iodine.”

“It’s okay, it will be fine in a few days.”

After treating the wound, Ning Jia lay down first. She pulled one end of the quilt and left the other end to Li Yao.

In the past few days, the two of them have been resting in this state.

Although they were covering themselves with the same quilt, there seemed to be an invisible boundary between them and no one touched each other.

As soon as the lights went out, the air fell into silence.

The temperature has dropped a lot tonight, colder than usual.

The quilt seemed a little thin, and there was a draft in the middle, so Ning Jia felt a chill on her shoulders. She curled up and seemed to feel better.

The man next to her seemed like an old monk in meditation, lying there motionless. If it weren’t for the sound of his breathing, she would have thought he was sleeping next to a piece of wood.

wood!

What a piece of wood!

With a beautiful woman by my side, I don’t even know how to embrace her in my arms!

Ning Jia secretly cursed Li Yao.

On second thought, Li Yao hated the original owner Ning Jia, so it was normal that he didn’t want to be close to her.

But after spending these few days together, she felt that Li Yao didn’t seem to hate her that much?

Never mind.

Why think so much?

Ning Jia rubbed against Li Yao directly, and seemed to feel a little warmer, but not completely warm enough.

She moved again.

The people around me still didn’t move.

Ning Jia no longer pretended to be reserved, as she was not a reserved person.

“Li Yao, I’m a little cold, can I sleep next to you?”

After I finished speaking, there was no response.

This man really doesn’t know how to pity, cherish, and love jade!

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your agreement.” Ning Jia simply turned over and rolled directly towards Li Yao.

The next second, she rolled into a warm embrace.

“Huh?” Ning Jia was a little surprised.

Li Yao hugged her?

She wanted to confirm, so she reached out and touched his body, wanting to see if Li Yao was hugging her.

“Ning Jia, stop it.” Li Yao’s voice was low and hoarse.

It seems like some desire is being suppressed.

Ning Jia smiled softly, “Okay, I won’t **. Li Yao, you are so warm! The weather will get colder in the future, and I want to sleep like this every day, okay? Okay.”

A low laugh came from my ear: “You have already answered your own questions, what else can I say?”

“Okay, then it’s settled.” Ning Jia felt happy. Isn’t this equivalent to a natural heating stove?

You won’t have to worry about freezing in winter anymore!

As she thought about it, she leaned into Li Yao’s arms again and let out a sigh of contentment.

Well, that’s great!

Have a sweet sleep till dawn.

In the early morning, the autumn wind became a little cooler.

Ning Jia woke up, struggled out of the man’s arms, put on her clothes and got off the kang.

Thanks to Li Yao’s timely treatment, including cold compresses and rubbing with safflower oil, the swelling on her ankle has subsided a lot, and she can now walk.

Although he was limping a little, at least he was free from crutches.

She was sore all over from lying down for the past two days, and now she was finally able to walk, so she moved around and picked up the small urine bucket on the ground to go to the toilet behind the house to empty it.

As soon as he went out, he happened to run into An Ye who was also going to the toilet behind the house to empty the urine pot.

Two people travel together.

An Ye sighed: “We made a lot of money from selling fish last night! Jiajia, when are we going to the state-owned restaurant in town for a meal?”

“Go as soon as possible. I’m greedy and I’m short of meat recently.” Ning Jia missed the taste of braised pork again.

“Okay!” An Ye nodded and asked, “What are your plans for that matter? Have you figured out what to do?”

“That thing? What thing?” Ning Jia was confused.

“It’s about what we talked about last night!” Seeing that she was really confused and didn’t understand the situation, An Ye asked her, “Why? Didn’t your Li Yao tell you last night?”
