Chapter 115 The Newly Married Daughter-in-Law
Before night and day had completed their transition, Su Muchen dragged her back to reality from her dream.
The temperature difference in the mountains is very large, and white steam comes out when you talk. Ji Fanxing wore the thick down jacket she wore when she came from Beijing, with her hands tucked into her sleeves.
That coolness was different from the coolness in the north, it penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The stone bench on the mountain road was slippery with moss. She took small, unsteady steps and Su Muchen reached out his hand to her.
"I hope you can perform an invincible wind and fire wheel for me, otherwise we have to wait until the sun sets to reach the big market. We can just stay there for one night and wait for the next big market."
After hesitating for three seconds, she stretched out her hand, and the man directly wrapped her hand and pulled her, interlocking their fingers and putting her hand into his pocket. The two of them walked down the mountain together. When they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun had just climbed over the top of the mountain, rising with vitality.
Ji Fanxing felt a little dizzy in the carriage. Perhaps because she had lost too much blood, she was a little exhausted. Su Muchen opened his military coat, put her on his lap and wrapped her up.
"It'll take a long time, take a nap?"
"Hmm..." The warm breath carried a sense of security, and soon she buried herself in Su Muchen's military coat, breathing softly and falling asleep.
The carriage had to pass through several villages along the way. Seeing him and Ji Fanxing like that, the elder brother grinned in anticipation of good news.
"Young man, are you bringing your newly married wife to the market? You look so delicate and tender, you don't look like someone from this place."
Su Muchen spoke softly, afraid of waking the little girl in his arms.
"I'm here to travel and experience life, brother, do you know where to have a good breakfast here?"
After a few visits, he got to know the local snack stalls and the approximate prices of meat, vegetables and eggs, and set a budget in his mind.
This was the first time for the two of them to attend such a large rural market. It was so big that it was dazzling. All kinds of vendors placed the things they wanted to sell on the ground without any decoration. There were also cows that had just been led out, pigs crowded in the pen, and sheep that were still grazing heartlessly.
Ji Fanxing’s eyes could hardly keep up. Everything she looked at was new and her teasing appearance gave Su Muchen a headache.
"If you keep running around, do you see those little pigs? Someone will tie you up and sell you as pigs! Hold on to me, Piggy Star."
"You're the pig!"
Seeing someone selling fresh milk, she insisted on drinking it, so Su Muchen bought her a cup. "Drink it, and if you dare to stop halfway, I'll pour it into your mouth."
Only after she took a sip did she realize how fishy the fresh milk was. In the end, Su Muchen pinched her nose and forced her to drink it.
After drinking a glass of milk, she became much more obedient and was dragged to eat a steamed bun breakfast obediently. Then the two of them started buying New Year's goods according to the list prepared in advance.
Ji Fanxing looked at their pile of stuff with worry. "We can find a car to take these back, but we still have to carry them up the mountain by ourselves, right?"
"So you have to use your clever little brain and your eloquent tongue, Xing'er."
A triumphant smile appeared on Su Muchen's lips, and Ji Fanxing had a bad feeling.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Muchen asked her to go door to door to notify and find strong men to come down and transport the supplies.
When Ji Fanxing heard that she was going to talk to a man, she was not happy at all, but Su Muchen was glaring at her, so she had no choice but to run up the mountain crying, thinking about how to find someone else to help her.
This village is so backward that there is not even a radio. Usually, news about something spreads purely by word of mouth.
The other four people who came with her were all busy and no one helped her. She had no choice but to pluck up her courage and knock on a door. A skinny young man came out and looked at her with a scrupulous look.
"Are you in the same group as those college students?"
Take a deep breath and slow down your speech——
"Hello, I, um... we bought a batch of New Year's goods, which are now at the foot of the mountain. Could you please... help me move them?"
Her face flushed with nervousness when she said this, which made the young man feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and welcomed Ji Fanxing into the house.
"Have a drink of water first. I'll go to the east end of the village to notify every household. You can go to the west end of the village later. Is there someone waiting downstairs?"
"Yes... that's right, the guy... well, he's tall and handsome."
"Okay, I think I know who it is."
(“▔□▔) She found that she could pronounce the word tall and handsome quite fluently…
All things are difficult at the beginning, but this beginning is still good. She followed the last wave of people down, and Su Muchen gave her a pumpkin.
"Participation is the most important thing. You can't lift anything heavy right now. You've already scored full marks for being busy all day, Xing'er."
Su Muchen went back and forth several times without feeling tired. She saw Su Muchen holding a bag of pork, while the others were holding a small jar.
"what is this?"
Su Muchen looked at one of the small jars, patted it with a wicked smile. "This is a good thing~ specially prepared for a coward like you, Xing'er."
"You're the coward!" She pinched Su Muchen, and then naturally put her hand in his pocket to warm it.
The atmosphere of welcoming the Spring Festival has become stronger and stronger during these two days of busyness. The sun sets behind the mountain almost in the blink of an eye, and it gets dark earlier and earlier.
After returning, no one wanted to move. Ji Fanxing even went to the nest and started to act like a spoiled child. Su Muchen didn't make things difficult for everyone and said that it was New Year's Day tomorrow and they should have a holiday early.
Everyone cheered and went back to their rooms. Su Muchen simply washed his hands, took out the borrowed knife, went to the room opposite theirs, and closed the door stealthily.
Seeing him like that, Ji Fanxing thought that he might have done something bad, so she followed him secretly.
She lay in the corner and stretched her head stealthily, watching Su Muchen draw out his knife. She observed him in the moonlight and then chopped him down suddenly.
