Chapter 71 - 71: 68: I Can’t Wait!

Besides that, she also picked shepherd’s purse and dandelions, briefly blanched the large intestine in boiling water before draining it, and then made fried spicy pork intestines. She fried red pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and garlic to release their fragrance, then used soy sauce and wild scallions for flavoring. The fried intestines looked delicious with their vibrant color and strong aroma, immediately whetting one’s appetite.

She cleaned the small intestine and marinated it, planning to make glutinous rice sausage with it the next day. She thought it would definitely be delicious when stuffed with the oil residue!

She first soaked glutinous rice and coarse cereals separately for tomorrow’s use.

She then stir-fried two dishes of vegetables, fried some dried small fish, and steamed a basket of steamed buns. Dinner was now ready.

These steamed buns were made with a mix of pure flour and coarse cereals, which was already considered a luxury compared to the plain rice porridge and wild vegetables that other families ate all year round!

As it was getting dark, Di Yelei came home carrying two grey hares.

At the same time, he also brought back two large bags of blackberries!

Facing Liu Sisi’s surprised gaze, he smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head, “I don’t have any other skills, just hunting. Just now, I just went out for a stroll, and saw a rabbit burrow, so I caught them. I also saw these blackberries and brought them back for you… and the children to eat.”

As he spoke, he held up a large bundle of blackberries with their stems attached and presented it to Liu Sisi with hopeful eyes.

Looking at the grey mud and sweat on the man in front of her, and the muddy old cloth shoes on his feet that already had a hole, things probably weren’t as simple as he said, right?

Liu Sisi tried to hold back the sourness in her eyes and picked a few blackberries from those he brought, putting them into her mouth.

“Hmm! These blackberries are really sweet!”

She nodded vigorously, and two teardrops fell from her eyes.

She really didn’t want to cry!

“Sisi, what’s wrong? Don’t cry, Sisi, please don’t cry!”

Di Yelei hesitated for a moment, urgently stretching out his arms to embrace Liu Sisi. However, as he remembered how dirty he was, his outstretched hand hesitated!

Liu Sisi didn’t care about that and suddenly threw herself into his arms, sobbing softly.

He clumsily comforted her, his confused mind unable to figure out why she started crying just from eating two blackberries!

After a moment, Liu Sisi also raised her head, embarrassed, “I was just so happy that I cried, really!”

She deliberately emphasized her point.

Having experienced the hardships of two lifetimes, Liu Sisi didn’t ask for much.

All she wanted was a husband who genuinely loved and cherished her.

Although Di Yelei in front of her was clumsy with words and couldn’t coax people, he showed through his actions that he genuinely cared for her!

How could that not touch her heart?

These ordinary blackberries in front of her revealed his true feelings.

Feeling touched at the bottom of her heart, how could her tears stop so easily?

“Don’t cry, don’t cry! Look how dirty I am, be careful not to smear yourself like a spotted kitten.”

How could someone be so happy that they cry? It’s said that women are made of water, and it seems to be true!

“Pfft!”

Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh through her tears, and finally left his embrace.

“You go ahead and eat first, I’ll go wash up and come back.”

Di Yelei went to the bathing room and Liu Sisi looked up to see YingEr hiding behind the door giggling with her hand covering her mouth.

“YingEr, come and eat some blackberries.” Liu Sisi called out to her.

“Mom, I saw everything.” YingEr said with a smile.

Di Ying rushed over, whispering in Liu Sisi’s ear: “Mom, YingEr saw you and Dad kissing.”

“Shush! Silly child, don’t talk about this outside, okay?” Liu Sisi’s cheeks blushed red, pretending to be ferociously playful.

“Hehe, YingEr is not silly! Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t tell anyone.”

Grabbing the blackberries, Di Ying ran out of the kitchen, and then a silver bell-like laugh came from outside the door.

That child…

Liu Sisi covered her face, who said that ancient children didn’t understand anything?

Of course, everyone was very satisfied with this dinner. After washing up, Liu Sisi took Di Yelei’s old shoes and started cutting out new patterns.

People in this era had their shoes sewn by women, but it was truly a challenge for Sisi.

Still, thinking about Di Yelei’s shoes with protruding thumbs, she decided to make a pair of well-fitted shoes for everyone.

What Di Yelei saw when he came in after bathing was Liu Sisi carefully cutting the cloth under the light.

Her scissors seemed magical, and with the constant sounds, shoe patterns quickly appeared before his eyes, making Di Yelei unable to help but stare.

This little woman had a pair of clever hands.

“Why don’t you sleep? Doing needlework at night is very bad for your eyes. Go rest.”

After waiting for a while, Di Yelei finally walked up, took the scissors from Liu Sisi’s hands, and put them aside, then he held her hand, gently pulling her up from the stool.

His eyes were deep, filled with a passionate lingering.

“Oh, I know.”

Liu Sisi’s heart trembled involuntarily, her cheeks blushed. Her steps were a bit weak and staggered, but she was firmly supported by his hand. She tried to look away, but his eyes held her gaze and she couldn’t escape.

She could only follow his footsteps, slowly walking into the room.

Di Yelei’s heart was surging like a storm, feeling like he had returned to his childhood. His feelings were even stronger than in those years.

Even though it was just a short distance, he was sweating all over his body.

“Sisi, I… can’t wait any longer!”

With his low, husky voice, Di Yelei kissed her face when she didn’t have time to react, and his big hands were not idle, quietly occupying the territory.

Her head was hazy, instinctively wanting to resist but unconsciously responding.

His passion grew more intense, just like always, with a touch of dominance.

Her hands wanted to push away, but they firmly clung to his shoulders instead.

“Ye Lei, stop…”

Liu Sisi had no strength to stand up, she was practically slumped and half-hanging on him.

She clung to him like a flawless spirit, her thick eyelashes flapping slightly. More like a koala climbing up a eucalyptus tree, unable to let go.

Her actions unexpectedly affected Di Yelei, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly.

“Sisi, do you like it?”

“Mm, I’m so hot.”

Her voice was uniquely soft and sweet, reaching the depths of his heart.

Unable to hold back any longer, he let out a low growl and kissed her lips again.
