When the couple went down the mountain, they carried back basket full of goods on their backs. They didn't catch any wild animals this time, Zhang Fangyuan even joked that he wanted to sell the hunting tools to the hunters.

But today he negotiated a deal with Wang Jiu, and the hunter gave him a rabbit, so they didn’t return empty-handed.

It was already sunset when they reached home, Xu He lit the fire to cook, and after putting the food in the pot to heat up, he couldn't wait to clean up the wild vegetables he brought back from the mountain. Unexpectedly, after marrying, he would have an extra helper to do things for him .

Zhang Fangyuan took out the big dustpan at home, and put all the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots he dug in the dustpan to dry. Xu He went over and carried the wild onion out, put it in the basin and rinsed the root with water, and washed the part with soil to make it bright white, he said to Zhang Fangyuan: "I'll take care of these. "

Meaning he could go inside and rest.

It was the same in the Xu family before. He was busy cooking and tending the animals. Xu Changren, who came back from the work, washed his hands in the yard and went to rest in the middle hall to wait for the meal. His mother would sweep the yard. Xu Shaochun generally he didn't know what she did in her room.

Not only their family, in fact, most families in the village were like this. The men rest when they went home, and the women's and ge’ers ran the house.

Zhang Fangyuan just patted Xu He's head and didn't answer his words.

Xu He stroked the green onion, glanced at the busy Zhang Fangyuan, and felt warm in his heart.

At night, the two of them had another meal with the leftovers from the banquet. They gave away a lot today and  Zhang Fangyuan could eat a lot of food in one meal, so there was not much left.

After went up the mountain, they sweated a lot. After eating, the two of them took a bath one after the other. Zhang Fangyuan, who had washed first, wore a pair of underpants that reached half of his thighs, and lay on a bamboo chair with his arms as pillow. The door was wide open, and he was waiting for Xu He to go to bed together.

He ge’er really didn't talk much, and the two of them didn't say anything when they came back at night. If Zhang Fangyuan didn't speak, Xu He might not say a word for a long time. Even so, Zhang Fangyuan looked at the dark courtyard outside the middle hall, and he still felt that the house was much more lively.

And in just one day, he felt that this empty home was filled with Xu He busy doing things everywhere, even if he didn't speak, he was very content.

In the past, he would never stay alone in the middle hall for so long in such a comfortable posture. After dark, he would go back to the room early to sleep. No matter how powerful a person was, he was always afraid of being alone.

"It's finished."

When Xu He came out with the clothes in his arms, he saw Zhang Fangyuan leaning on the chair with his legs crossed. The man's smooth muscle lines could be seen at a glance. The abdominal muscles were very different with his soft belly. Thinking that this person was pressing on him last night, his ears felt inexplicably hot, and he looked away slightly.

"Oh~ Is your hair wet? Do you want me to wipe it for you?"

Zhang Fangyuan saw that the person came out, and quickly retracted his stretched limbs. He saw that Xu He's hair was well tied. Although he was not wearing a coat, he was wrapped in long-sleeved, trousers and wrapped himself tightly. Even at the collar, not even a little bit of his chest was exposed.

"It's not wet. I'm going to wash the clothes first."

Zhang Fangyuan stretched out his hand to hold the person, "Wash it tomorrow."

Xu He didn't like to put off the work until tomorrow because there were so many things to do every day. If you dodged for a while, then tomorrow's work may not be finished.

"It's okay."

"Zhang Fangyuan!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu He suddenly had his feet in the air, and was horrified to find that his husband hugged him. Taking advantage of the gap between his slightly bent waist, he carried him onto his shoulders effortlessly. He was so frightened that he was at a loss, and in a panic he hugged Zhang Fangyuan's neck: "Put me down quickly!"

Zhang Fangyuan agreed, and then put him on the bed.

Xu He was still holding the clothes that the two had just changed. He knelt on the soft bed and his chest was still heaving rapidly. Zhang Fangyuan took the clothes in his hand, threw them on the stool beside him, lifted the quilt, and stuffed the person in.

He got up again and went out to close the doors and windows. When he came back, he turned on the light and got into bed.

It was rare for Xu He to go to bed so early. He lay beside Zhang Fangyuan and couldn't fall asleep. The two of them lay flat like that for a while, and Xu He felt a hand stretched out from his waist.

He knew... the room was dark, and he closed his eyes resignedly, ready to receive some "teaching".

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fangyuan only put his arms around his waist, and habitually stretched his legs to clamp him, and the two of them stuck together, but he stopped there and didn't do anything else.
