Glancing sideways at Su Chenghuai, Wu Dayong took the money and put it away after seeing him nod.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Ye Linlin didn’t say anything. She raised her hand to check the time, it was already 4:15.
Ye Linlin suddenly stood up, stamping her feet anxiously.
“Crap, I’m going to miss Grandpa Zhang’s ox cart.”
“It’s okay, I’ll give you a ride on my bike later.”
It was the first time Su Chenghuai had seen Ye Linlin so cute, and he couldn’t help but smile.
“Can your body handle riding so far with me? Or should I take you?”
Ye Linlin regretted it a little after she said it. She was worried about Su Chenghuai’s body, but she wasn’t sure if she could carry such a big man, especially since she was pregnant now.
Hearing Ye Linlin’s words, Liu Yan and the others covered their mouths and snickered. Su Chenghuai glanced at them, and they quickly sat up straight, holding back their laughter and not daring to move.
“I’m not that weak. Even if I can’t ride, I can just rest for a while. How can I let you carry me?”
Looking at the expressions of the others, Ye Linlin also smiled. Although she was worried about Su Chenghuai’s body, she could only agree, considering that she was pregnant.
Ye Linlin asked Liu Yan for a water cup and poured a cup of water from her own water bottle for Su Chenghuai, with a few rose petals floating on top.
“Brother Su, drink a cup of this water I made. It’s good for your body. Let’s drink some water and then set off.”
Su Chenghuai originally wanted to refuse. He didn’t feel thirsty at all, but looking at Ye Linlin’s expectant eyes, he picked up the water cup and drank it all in one gulp.
As soon as he finished drinking, Su Chenghuai felt that his originally tired body had become much lighter. He looked up at Ye Linlin in surprise.
“What did you use to make this water?”
“It’s just roses dried at home, and a few kinds of herbs I picked in the mountains. They’re all non-toxic.”
Ye Linlin was indeed not lying. She only soaked roses and a few ordinary herbs in it, but the water she used was not ordinary water, but well water from her space, which she called spiritual water.
After she transmigrated, the Ye family treated her very well, making her feel the family affection she lacked in her previous life. She also wanted to do something for her family, so she planned to give everyone some spiritual water to improve their health.
But the effect of this spiritual water was too obvious, so she had to soak some roses and herbs to cover it up.
The Ye family members were shocked by the effect of this spiritual water after drinking it, and asked Ye Linlin how she made it.
Faced with the questioning, Ye Linlin had to say the prepared explanation.
She told them that she had accidentally saved an old man before, and the old man taught her this folk remedy to express his gratitude. She had promised him that she would never tell anyone else.
When asked anything else, Ye Linlin kept her mouth shut. Seeing this, the others stopped asking.
The whole family, including herself, had been drinking this spiritual water for the past few days.
Before going out today, she filled some in her water bottle, thinking that if Su Chenghuai felt uncomfortable, she would give him some to relieve it. She didn’t expect it to actually come in handy.
Su Chenghuai felt his current state and knew that he would definitely be able to ride with Ye Linlin, so he told the others a few things and came to the backyard with Ye Linlin with the plastic.
When they got to the backyard, Ye Linlin was about to get on the bicycle when she turned her head and saw a Flying Pigeon bicycle parked under the eaves.
She pointed to the window and suggested, “Brother Su, I see there’s another bicycle. Let’s each ride one.”
Looking at Ye Linlin’s slender, fair fingers, Su Chenghuai subconsciously refused.
“That one is for Dayong to use for purchasing. We can’t ride it away.”
This was true, but he didn’t tell Ye Linlin that there was another one in the warehouse.
Hearing this, Ye Linlin nodded and sat on the back seat. The two set off for Dayu Village.
When they got to the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Chenghuai stopped and told Ye Linlin to wait for him here. He opened the door and went in.
A few minutes later, he came back with a few things. Ye Linlin saw that it was the four items of cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea.
After riding for nearly half the distance, Ye Linlin had Su Chenghuai drink the spiritual water again. This time, there was no water cup, so Su Chenghuai had to drink directly from her water bottle.
Looking at Su Chenghuai’s Adam’s apple rolling as he tilted his head to drink water, and his lips touching her water bottle, Ye Linlin couldn’t help but think of the night she first transmigrated.
Ye Linlin found that she had been thinking wildly a lot lately. She didn’t know if it was caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy.
Taking the water bottle back from Su Chenghuai, Ye Linlin didn’t dare to look up at Su Chenghuai, for fear that he would discover her embarrassment.
The two arrived home after 5 PM. Ye Cheng heard the sound and came out to greet them. He took the things from their hands and spoke in a voice that only the three of them could hear.
“Sister, hurry up and rest for a while. Are you still going to be in charge of the cooking tonight? I didn’t get enough to eat with Mom’s cooking at noon.”
Su Chenghuai didn’t quite understand the meaning of Ye Cheng’s words, but Ye Linlin understood. She said “No problem” and went into the main room to greet Ye Quangui.
Turning back to her room, she put the newly bought book on the table by the window. She opened the water bottle and was about to drink water when she suddenly remembered that Su Chenghuai had drunk water from her water bottle on the way back.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Linlin pursed her lips and drank a mouthful anyway. They were already husband and wife, so indirect kissing was a small problem.
The spiritual water entered her body, and the fatigue of the day was swept away. When Ye Linlin came to the kitchen, Liu Xihong was washing vegetables. Seeing Ye Linlin come in, she kept trying to chase her out.
“What are you doing in here? You must be exhausted after being out all day, right? It’s just a meal. I’ll do it. You go and rest.”
“It’s okay, Mom, I’m not tired. Brother Su hasn’t tasted my cooking yet.”
Ye Linlin brought up Su Chenghuai, and Liu Xihong didn’t insist anymore, saying that she would help out and Ye Linlin would be in charge of the cooking.
Looking at the vegetables Liu Xihong had washed, Ye Linlin decided to make a simple four-dish and one-soup meal.
By the time Liu Xihong and Ye Linlin brought the food to the table, Ye Cheng was so hungry that his front was sticking to his back. He had run to the kitchen three times in the middle to ask when they could eat.
Seeing the two of them bring the food to the table, he was the first to sit down.
Looking at Ye Cheng’s appearance, Ye Quangui rolled his eyes and muttered, “You look like you haven’t had a full meal in three days. You must have starved to death in your previous life.”
“Dad, I don’t think you ate much at noon either. Aren’t you hungry now?”
Ye Cheng grinned at Ye Quangui while picking up food. Before Ye Quangui could retort, he heard a “gurgle” coming from Ye Quangui’s stomach.
Ye Cheng’s smile became even brighter, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth. Ye Quangui glared at him angrily, then laughed loudly.
Seeing the interaction between the father and son, Ye Linlin and Su Chenghuai were deeply touched.
Ye Linlin was an orphan in her previous life. She had never experienced this kind of family warmth and interaction between father and son.
Similarly, Su Chenghuai had lived with his mother since he was a child. Although his mother was very good to him, he had never enjoyed this kind of fatherly love.
To hide his loss, Su Chenghuai quickly picked up the dish in front of him and put it in his mouth.
