Li Da said that this was a good thing, his body had recovered, and the young men in the village were all full of energy.

　　Good things are good things, but getting angry is also painful. Gu Zhao had a little mouth ulcer, and the pain made him lose his appetite. Li Zhouzhou felt sorry for his husband, so he stopped having bone soup recently and made cold shredded radish for his husband to relieve his internal heat.

　　At first, the Zhu family was embarrassed to eat the meat dishes, as they looked too greedy and ugly, so they took a bite of the meat and two chopsticks of cabbage and shredded radish. But Zhu the clay craftsman’s grandson was a child and naturally liked to eat meat. After his mother picked up the shredded radish, he shook his head and said he wanted to eat meat.

　　”Don’t be polite, everyone. The radish was mixed for me by my husband Zhou Zhou. I’ve been feeling a little irritated lately.” Gu Zhao said.

　　Zhu Nijiang’s son drank some, and when he heard the words, he laughed and said something obscene, “This is easy, why bother eating shredded radish, just relieve the internal heat at night.” Then his wife stepped on his foot under the table, and he said something nonsense.

　　Before he could continue, Zhu the clay craftsman said that the offal tasted different and delicious. Li Da took over and started talking about how delicious the offal was, praising Li Zhouzhou’s cooking skills and other things. Anyway, no one mentioned what he had just said.

　　Li Zhouzhou responded with red ears.

　　After dinner, Li Zhouzhou and Zhu’s daughter-in-law cleaned up, and the child sat in front of the stove, warming themselves by the fire and eating maltose. In the house, Li Da and Zhu Nijiang chatted, and Zhu Nijiang’s son and Gu Zhao occasionally interrupted. As they talked, Zhu Nijiang talked about the farmland.

　　Fertilizer.

　　Finally, Li Da explained the method of fertilizing dry fields.

　　The days are short in winter, and after chatting for a while, Zhu the clay craftsman and his family were about to leave. Li Zhouzhou filled a large jar of braised food for Zhu’s wife, who declined twice but then readily accepted it.

　　As soon as he left the Li family’s house, Zhu Nijiang slapped his son on the back of his head angrily.

　　”You pig mouth, you can’t stop talking on the table.”

　　”I forgot about it as soon as I said I was happy, but I was right. Gu Shulang was not angry. He is not single. He hugged his brother at night–“

　　”You still say that!” Zhu Nijiang raised his hand and hit him again.

　　In fact, it was common for the men in the village to make a few dirty remarks at the table, but Gu Shulang from the Li family was a scholar and seemed to respect Li Zhouzhou very much, so it was naturally inappropriate to say such things in front of him.

　　Zhu Nijiang’s eldest son was beaten, but he didn’t know why. He just said a common question, “What’s the matter?” When he and other villagers were drinking and eating, everyone said this.

　　”You were just halfway through your sentence when I saw that Gu Shulang’s amiable expression changed. Who would like their wife to be talked about by others to relieve his sexual desire in front of outsiders?” Mrs. Zhu rolled her eyes at the man. He was not a little whore in the secret room.

　　Zhu Nijiang couldn’t interrupt, so he said, “Be careful what you say in the Li family next time. I know you don’t know how to control your words. I asked your wife to come with you last year. You should learn from her and don’t blurt out anything without thinking.”

　　”Okay, hurry back, find a place to dig a hole, store the urine and shit, and don’t burn the wheat stalks, save them all.”

　　”Dad, the ground is frozen after the snow. How can we dig this?”

　　”I don’t care how you dig. You talk too much. Just do more work and let off some steam.”

　　The Li family had a good meal at noon, so they were not particularly hungry at night, so they cooked a pot of vegetable soup with cabbage and tofu meatballs. However, they did not use bone soup, but clear soup to scrape off the fat in their stomachs.

　　Li Da was drinking the vegetable soup. He had never thought about scraping it off when he ate too much oil and water.

　　Really live a good life.

　　After washing up, I went to bed early.

　　The inner room was warm, Li Zhouzhou blew out the oil lamp and untied the belt of his inner garment in the dark. Gu Zhao held Zhouzhou’s hand and said, “I never thought of using you as a tool to cool down my temper.”

　　”Zhou Zhou, I respect you and love you. We are one. You are the most important person in my world.” Gu Zhao kissed Zhou Zhou and wanted to explain, “When I was at the age when I got married, it was not good for me to have sex frequently. It would be difficult for me to grow taller, and I would not be good in this aspect in the future.”

　　But if he doesn’t touch Zhou Zhou or do it, Zhou Zhou will think that he dislikes him and that’s why he doesn’t touch him.

　　”I thought we still had a lot of time together, so I didn’t do it as much as I should have. You won’t blame me, right?”

　　Li Zhouzhou shook his head, thinking that his husband couldn’t see it, and said, “When I heard what my husband said just now, I actually had some wrong thoughts. I thought that maybe it was because I wasn’t good enough or soft enough that my husband didn’t love me—”

　　”But every time we did it, my husband always loved to kiss me and hug me, and it lasted for a long time. I knew that my husband didn’t lie to me, didn’t despise me, and was really taking care of his body.”
