If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Wen Yao slept very soundly. She vaguely felt someone feeding her water and food. She tried to open her eyes to see what was happening, but her eyelids were too heavy to open.

When I truly came to my senses and saw the blinding light outside the window, I was instantly jolted awake.

He hurriedly sat up straight in bed, a tingling and numb sensation spreading throughout his body, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan: "Hiss~~"

She slowly moved off the bed, holding onto the bed frame to feel better. She rubbed her sore back and opened the door, immediately seeing a man chopping wood in the yard, shirtless.

Sweat dripped down his cheeks and chin, then slid down his bulging chest muscles, leaving sweat stains that shimmered in the sunlight.

Jiang Lie noticed a gaze, turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He put down his axe and walked over quickly, reaching out to help her, but stopped when he saw his somewhat dirty hands.

"Honey, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's only nine o'clock, it's still early. Why don't you get up? Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

After saying that, she ran off to the kitchen.

Wen Yao watched him run off like a gust of wind, her eyes even more bewildered. Hmm? How come this person seems to have changed in just one night? She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

My eyes are brighter now, and I don't feel that heavy, oppressive feeling anymore. Hmm, if I don't understand, I'll just stop thinking about it.

The two sat facing each other, with Jiang Lie resting his chin on his hand as he watched him eat, his face full of interest: "How is it? Isn't the meat porridge I made delicious?"

"Mmm, it's delicious. But I'll cook from now on. It's too tiring for you to cook after you come back from hunting. I'll take care of the chores around the house."

"It's alright, whoever is free can cook. We're family, so let's not be so particular. Should we eat at home or at Mom and Dad's for lunch?"

Wen Yao thought about it. She was having trouble walking in her current state, and it would be too embarrassing if people could tell at a glance what was wrong with her. It would be better to eat at home.

"I want to eat at home. I'm not feeling well and don't want my mother to worry."

"There's still plenty of firewood at home, why are you still chopping wood? Don't you want to take a break?"

Jiang Lie shook his head: "I'm not tired. I have so much energy I don't know what to do with it. Doing more work will help me burn it off, so I don't lose control and hurt you."

"How were you feeling last night? Does it still hurt there? I applied some medicine, but it's still a little swollen..."

Wen Yao coughed twice, her face flushing: "Cough cough... I feel much better. Don't ask such serious questions. I'm really fine."

"Okay, it's good that you're alright. Can we sleep together again tonight? I promise I'll do it this time."

Before she could finish speaking, she was glared at: "Stop talking and eat properly. If you talk again, you won't be allowed to go to bed."

"Okay, then."

Seeing his drooping head and instantly listless appearance, Wen Yao said helplessly, "How about tomorrow night? I'm really not feeling well today; my back hurts terribly."

Jiang Lie suddenly looked up at her, appearing easygoing: "Okay, tomorrow night it is. If you feel unwell anywhere, remember to tell me. I'm a bit clumsy."

"Okay, I understand."

"Honey, what are our plans for today? If you're not busy, just stay home and sleep. I'll give you a back massage."

Wen Yao thought about it and decided not to make things difficult for herself. She had originally planned to make medicine today, but now her whole body ached and her hands were too weak to move. She decided to rest for a day.

"Okay, let's rest today."

"What do you want to plant in that vegetable patch? I'll turn the soil over, and we can grow some vegetables ourselves. That way, it'll be easier to eat whatever we want in the future."

"Yes, I want to grow tomatoes, green beans, and eggplants. These three not only have high yields, but they also taste great. Even if we can't finish them, we can dry them and make dried food."

Jiang Lie asked in confusion, "Tomatoes... can be made into dried tomatoes? I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it before. Do you know how to make them? Let's plant these three then."

Wen Yao thought for a moment and said, "We'll also have cucumbers, winter melons, and some pumpkins. We'll grow some outside; they're all high-yielding and easy to care for. We don't have any other vegetables for now, but we'll add more later when I remember."

"Hmm, honey, do you know how to grow vegetables? I'm not very good at it."

"I can. I can grow vegetables. I used to have a big yard in the city with a vegetable garden. I took care of it all myself. I'm very good at growing vegetables."

"Growing vegetables is much easier than growing medicinal herbs."

Jiang Lie loved this homey atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth never turned down. His eyes were gentle: "What about the fruit trees? Do you have any fruits you like to eat? I'll go dig some up at the foot of the mountain."

Looking into his earnest eyes, Wen Yao couldn't help but smile: "Hmm, I want to eat dried plums and dried apricots. Let's plant a couple ourselves. The yard is quite big anyway."

"Plant persimmon trees and pomegranate trees as well."

"By the way, honey, I'd like to discuss something with you, is that alright?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Lie pulled her hand, his eyes burning: "Wife, I think we should spend more time together as husband and wife. How about we don't have a child for the next six months? Spring after the New Year is the best time to have a child."

"When you give birth, the temperature will be neither too hot nor too cold, and you'll be comfortable during your postpartum period. What do you think? You're still young. Once you become a mother, the baby will be noisy every day, and you won't be able to focus on being a doctor."

"After a six-month buffer period, you'll be more or less settled, and our relationship will be stronger, so we won't have any conflicts when we have children later."

These words stunned Wen Yao: "Ah, but didn't you really like children before? Don't you want to get pregnant and become a father right away?"

Jiang Lie shook his head: "That was before. Now I love my wife the most. If we have a child, I won't be able to touch her anymore. I've been starving for years. I can't just have her once or twice and then be done with it."

"..."

Got it, he's really into it now.

Wen Yao blushed deeply, her lips trembling as she looked at him: "You, you... you're shameless. How could you say it so bluntly? You actually think that you don't want children because you can't touch them."

Jiang Lie secretly observed her reaction. Seeing that she was neither angry nor shy, he wondered whether she agreed or disagreed. Half a year was actually not a bad time.

Anyway, you can have a child anytime, but their relationship hasn't been developed yet. I've heard that having another child is like having another bomb. Many couples argue and get divorced because of having children.

He didn't want it to be like this; he wanted to live like this for a long time.

"Wife, are you unhappy? I was thinking that you want to become a doctor, and you need time to adapt and build your reputation. Also, you have to come with me to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs. If you get pregnant, you won't be able to go."

"I thought about it all night. It's best for both of us not to have children for the next six months. We can have children after six months. Of course, if you don't agree, I'll listen to you."
