Chapter 178:
At night, Li Xi’er boiled a pot of hot water…
After the father and daughter had both fallen asleep, she closed the kitchen door and washed herself clean.
She had run around on the mountain all afternoon, cooked, and done housework, her whole body was sweaty, and she could smell the sour taste on herself.
This old house was really inconvenient for bathing every time. Previously, Xiao Zhou Shi, Luo Zhi’er, and the others probably carried water to their own bedrooms to wash.
As for Old Li Tou and Zhou Shi, they always had a strange old person’s smell, plus Zhou Shi didn’t like cleanliness, not seen washing once in ten days or half a month.
Now with Li Sanmao and Miaomiao here, she felt too embarrassed.
Luckily Old Li Tou and the others weren’t around. If only there was a separate bathroom!
Otherwise, tomorrow after Li Sanmao finished the sunshade, she could build a simple bathroom with him!
This way, at least when needing to bathe, it wouldn’t be so heart-pounding and trembling, having a separate room!
After washing, Luo Zhi’er dried her hair and gently pushed the door, tiptoeing into the bedroom.
In the darkness, besides Miaomiao’s shallow breathing, there were no other sounds.
She breathed a sigh of relief; finally, they had all fallen asleep.
Closing the door, she planned to sleep on the floor tonight.
Sleeping together with Li Sanmao, this big man, she had slept alone for so many years, and she really wasn’t used to it.
Tiptoeing a few steps, suddenly in the darkness came a sigh, “Wife!!!”
Following that, a strong pull drew her into his arms and held her.
Luo Zhi’er was greatly startled! Her eyes rolled a few times, and she quickly said,
“Li Sanmao? Why aren’t you asleep yet? Scaring people can kill, you’re standing here like a big wooden post, what for?”
So late, why wasn’t he asleep?
“Hehe! Once I sleep, you can sleep on the floor?”
Taking so long, just waiting for him to fall asleep, Li Sanmao said through gritted teeth.
“Uh, the big bed is too crowded for three of us, look how fat I am, I sweat easily.”
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Luo Zhi’er let out a startled cry, the man picked her up and walked over with thudding steps, placing her on the floor mat.
Having hunted prey for many years, picking her up was effortless.
“I’ll sleep on the floor with you!”
Luo Zhi’er thought to herself, I didn’t want to sleep with you, that’s why I chose the floor, now I’ve failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice!
The man covered her with the quilt properly, also took off his outer garment and slipped in…
“What? Your plan failed?”
He said evilly.
“This way isn’t it more comfortable!”
Comfortable my foot.
Luo Zhi’er closed her eyes tightly, pretending to be normal, “It’s very late, I’m going to sleep, good night, see you in the morning!” Then even breathing sounds rose again.
“Zhi’er, you really… still using this trick? You… can you really fall asleep like this?” The man was frustrated. Was she really a married woman?
Why was she still like a young woman who hadn’t experienced anything? In the darkness, his eyes flashed, his lips kissed her neck, then moved position to kiss her earlobe.
Wow!
Luo Zhi’er shrank her neck, curled up, rolled her eyes inwardly, secretly annoyed at this damned sick boar!
Li Sanmao chuckled lightly. Zhi’er’s most sensitive spot was here. Seeing her nervous yet pretending to be asleep and nonchalant was really fun.
Planning to tease her more, suddenly the man flipped over and pressed on top of her…
His lips moved position, a scorching hot kiss met her lips, his hands also started to misbehave.
“Mmm…! Li Sanmao, stop!” Luo Zhi’er raised her hand to push him.
Damn it, raise hand and knock him out!
The man countered by raising his hand to pin hers…
His long legs didn’t idle, suppressing her, blocking her words with forceful sucking, lips and teeth intertwined, turning and twisting, leaving her unable to breathe.
Damn it! Why was her heart racing? Why was breathing difficult?
Could it be after guarding for so many years, she was going to lose her virginity?
In the moment of oxygen deprivation
Li Xi’er’s mind suddenly flashed with Luo Zhi’er’s face, and her words!
You can’t go back! Can’t go back!
She, Li Xi’er, was Luo Zhi’er, perhaps… this was fate’s arrangement.
Since it was fate’s arrangement, she wanted to see what kind of ending it would be! Li Xi’er suddenly gave up pointless resistance.
I want to experience life, I want to enjoy living!
Li Sanmao had only meant to tease her, but unexpectedly she… inexplicably his whole body trembled a bit…
“Zhi’er?”
“I… really can?”
“…Mmm…”
Luo Zhi’er closed her eyes, her mind went blank.
Actually, no matter how much she loved Li Sanmao, this so-called family life had nothing to do with the love in her heart.
She just didn’t resist him. Undeniably, there were things about Li Sanmao that attracted her.
Since ancient times, it’s often devoted women and heartless men; the flower of love can never survive in barren land.
She and Li Sanmao came from different worlds, different environments, yet had to spend the rest of their lives together.
Li Sanmao, oh Li Sanmao, I hope you…
Heh, what did he just say? He said he loved her?
Love… what exactly was that thing? She herself didn’t understand.
That night, she barely closed her eyes, only curling up in Li Sanmao’s arms and dozing a bit as dawn approached!
Li Sanmao was like he had been hit by a great poison, looking at his wife sleeping like a little kitten in his arms, at the small marks he left on her body, he couldn’t help but grin foolishly!
That night he was like a novice young man who had just experienced it, unable to control himself.
Before dawn, he dressed himself properly, dressed his wife properly, and carried her back to the big bed!
He himself felt light and full of endless energy, went out to fetch water, sweep the ground, feed the livestock, make breakfast.
When Luo Zhi’er woke up, the sunlight outside was bright white, already shining into the bedroom. She quickly looked up; the big bed was empty.
Moving a bit, her whole body ached terribly. Looking at her body, oh my god, densely packed bruises, indescribable, indescribable.
Dressed properly, she combed her hair in front of the mirror, styled it into two small braids hanging on both sides of her neck to cover up, and went out.
Miaomiao was lying under the persimmon tree quietly writing. Seeing her come out, her face lit up: “Mother, you’re awake?”
“Miaomiao, why are you awake? Didn’t call mother? Mother overslept by accident…” Her face instantly reddened to her neck root.
“Mother, Father said you were tired yesterday and not feeling well, needed good rest, so Miaomiao didn’t disturb you.”
“Mother, are you feeling a bit better now?”
Miaomiao asked innocently and caringly.
“Mmm, much better.”
Luo Zhi’er’s face inexplicably burned like fire. How could this damnable Li Sanmao fool the little child like that.
Li Sanmao heard the sound and came out from the kitchen, “Wife, you’re awake? Breakfast is ready, quickly wash up and come eat!”
“Oh!”
Luo Zhi’er ignored him, actually too embarrassed to look at him. When passing by him, she ran away like fleeing, straight to the backyard to scoop water to wash her face and brush teeth.
Li Sanmao watched her little actions indulgently, “Hehe!” He found it funny and was endlessly happy inside.
Miaomiao asked curiously: “Huh, Father, didn’t you say Mother was unwell? Why is Mother running so fast?”
“Probably got up late, shy!”
“Oh!”
After breakfast, Luo Zhi’er took out the goddess of Luo flowers brought back yesterday and began researching how to make lipstick.
Li Sanmao finished the sunshade and called the mother and daughter over to try sitting.
Luo Zhi’er felt very satisfied. It was a bit different from modern ones, but had more classical pastoral style.
She simply brought the goddess of Luo flowers to the table under the sunshade and began researching.
She had to try the possibility of making it, after all, talk is cheap without hands-on practice!
First, she plucked the petals one by one from the flowers, put them in a small bowl, pounded them with a stone pestle, and filtered out the juice.
Seeing her busy, Li Sanmao seemed to have a tacit understanding with her, thinking in his heart to build another bathroom next door to the outer room of their sleeping house, simply made of wood.
Luo Zhi’er poured the juice from the goddess of Luo flowers into an iron pot, heated it over the fire, added beeswax and such, stirred, and the color became more and more beautiful.
The heated liquid was poured into a porcelain bowl to cool, solidifying into blocks.
She took a bit and rubbed it on the back of her hand, dark red, similar to bean paste color, very pretty.
Miaomiao sat curiously beside her watching together.
Luo Zhi’er took a small bit and smeared it on Miaomiao’s cheek; her complexion looked very good.
This was better than the rouge powder made from sufang wood, no excess.
Because with added beeswax and materials, smeared on lips the color wouldn’t easily fade, and it brightened the lip color.
But since it was lipstick, it needed to be made into a lipstick shape. Using a small section of bamboo tube, and trim the tip into a rounded point.
For the lipstick container, if made like modern lipstick tube and base, she thought and drew with a pen, then called Li Sanmao over.
“See, can you make something like this…”
Li Sanmao looked seriously and pointed out his questions.
“This tube holds the lipstick, this rotation is to turn the lipstick out from inside, right, also need a small lid that can close!”
Li Sanmao nodded, “I’ll give it a try!”
