Chapter 254 The Sick Cannon Fodder in the Chronicle 14
*
In the kitchen, Yun Wu's slightly sickly fair face had a blush of embarrassment.
She took out a piece of bacon from the vegetable basket next to it and put it on the cutting board next to the stove.
In the other hand, she held a large kitchen knife that was disproportionate to her petite hand, and she was cutting bacon with her eyes lowered.
Yun Wu felt ashamed when she thought about Xu Xingzhou washing her clothes outside in the yard, but they were already married, so she had to get used to it.
The kitchen knife Xu Xingzhou used was obviously not suitable for her hand. It was heavy and sharp. She accidentally cut her hand, and blood suddenly appeared on her fingertips.
"hiss……"
Yun Wu just frowned slightly, washed her hands briefly, kept her injured hand away from the stove, and used her other hand to put the sliced bacon into the big pot and fry it.
Although most of the fumes from the cooking went out through the smoke window, Yun Wu was standing by and stir-frying with a spatula, and she could still smell a lot of the choking bacon smoke.
"Cough cough..."
Yun Wu quickly stood farther away, her hands moving non-stop.
At this time, Xu Xingzhou, who had finished washing his clothes, also walked into the kitchen. He frowned when he saw his sick little wife standing by the stove cooking.
Yun Wu thought it was getting late now, so she might as well make brunch.
Tong Hui marinated the bacon herself and brought it to her on her wedding day. It was bright in color and looked delicious, but it tasted a bit pungent when fried.
Yun Wu was about to cut some peppers into it when she just picked up the heavy kitchen knife.
Suddenly, a very broad hand with bronze skin appeared in sight, which was in sharp contrast to her small and white hand.
"Come to me."
Xu Xingzhou, who appeared behind her at some point, said, grabbing the kitchen knife from Yun Wu's hand without any explanation.
Yun Wu raised her head and looked at Xu Xingzhou in a daze, and saw that he had chopped the peppers in three strokes, then put them in the pot and stir-fried them for a while.
After doing all this, Xu Xingzhou turned to look at Yun Wu. Her bright eyes were reddish and slightly watery. She must have been choked by the smoky smell and shed tears.
His eyes were filled with water, which made Xu Xingzhou's heart tremble. He immediately looked away and noticed that there was a small cut on the pulp of Yun Wu's pink finger, and blood was still pouring out.
Xu Xingzhou frowned, and his strong hands quickly grasped her delicate, white wrist.
"Did you cut your hand? Does it hurt?"
"pain……"
Yun Wu's voice was soft. She was very afraid of pain. She also felt that she wanted to do something but failed to do it well. She could hurt herself even if she cut meat.
Her eyes became even more watery. Xu Xingzhou thought she was crying in pain. He took her wrist and put the bloody fingertips directly to her thin lips.
After cleaning up the blood beads, Xu Xingzhou washed her with water and then wrapped her in a clean handkerchief.
"I can hold this kitchen knife just fine. Your wrist is so thin that I can break it with one finger. Of course it will hurt you."
Xu Xingzhou said, and then quickly took out some vegetables from the vegetable basket to wash.
"Now you're not allowed to touch anything anymore. Just sit back and wait for your meal. I'll take care of the cooking."
Yun Wu held up her slightly scratched finger, but Xu Xingzhou wrapped her whole hand tightly like a bun.
She couldn't laugh or cry, but Xu Xingzhou didn't let her help, so she had to stand aside and wait obediently.
For brunch, I simply had fried bacon and vegetarian stir-fried vegetables. This meal was pretty good, and there was rice.
After lunch, Yun Wu was about to put away the dishes and wash them, but Xu Xingzhou stopped her again.
"You're already injured, why should you touch the water? Don't you need your hands?"
Xu Xingzhou's tone was a little harsh, and he snatched the bowls and chopsticks from Yun Wu's hands with quick movements, and put them in the basin to wash.
Yun Wu looked down at her hands that were wrapped in rice dumplings, and her eyes trembled.
But she just scratched her finger a little bit...
In the afternoon, Xu Xingzhou changed into a thin white coat and prepared to go to the fields to do farm work.
He took out the shovel from the corner of the yard. The sun was still a little bright at this time, and the sunlight shone on his bronze arms.
When Xu Xingzhou was about to go out, Yun Wu suddenly ran out of the main room in a hurry.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Her voice was slightly breathy. Xu Xingzhou turned around and saw his delicate and frail little wife running over. She was holding a bamboo hat in her hand.
"Out in the sun today..."
Yun Wu's voice was soft. She remembered that when the sun was shining brightly in the past, Tong Hui would put a hat on Yun Qingshan's head when he was about to go out.
But there are no cloth hats at home, only bamboo hats, which are just right for wearing in the fields to block the sun.
Yun Wu stood on tiptoes and put the bamboo hat on Xu Xingzhou's head with a somewhat unfamiliar movement.
His facial features are handsome and good-looking, and this bamboo hat looks strangely handsome when he wears it on his head.
Xu Xingzhou used to be a rough man, and he didn't bother to wear a hat to cover himself no matter how much the sun was shining on him. Although his body was not tanned by the sun, it was in sharp contrast to Yun Wu's skin color.
He touched the edge of the bamboo hat and felt as happy as if he had set off firecrackers, thinking that after having a wife, his life would not be as rough as before.
Because his wife cares about him, she must feel sorry for him basking in the sun.
"I see there are still a lot of dishes in the kitchen. I will cook more tonight..."
Yun Wu said softly that she felt that it would be bad if she did nothing.
"No, I'll be back early today. Just wait until I get back to cook."
Xu Xingzhou said, his eyes falling on Yun Wu's slender wrist, thinking that she was only so strong, and it would be bad if she hurt herself while cooking.
"You don't have to do anything else, just..."
He saw Yun Wu's clothes hanging on the clothes rack in the yard, and looked away awkwardly.
"Just wear it at night and let me see...see..."
Yun Wu didn't react at first, until she followed his line of sight and her little face turned red instantly.
But she thought that Xu Xingzhou was doing the work today, so she was embarrassed to refuse, and then her cheeks turned red and she nodded slightly in agreement.
Xu Xingzhou felt that this was what he deserved. He took care of his little wife, and she gave him some sweet treats. His life was really beautiful.
With Yun Wu's consent, Xu Xingzhou's steps were so light when he went out with the shovel.
After working hard in the farmland all afternoon, he didn't feel tired at all and he still had a lot of strength.
