"Don't push yourself, just rest in bed today." Chang Kun brought over a bowl of brown sugar water with a heart-shaped poached egg inside.
"This is what your mother prepared for you. Eat it quickly, and then rest for a while."
"Ah?! This is what Mother prepared for me?" Cheng Min's face flushed red. She hadn't even been able to show filial piety to her mother-in-law as a new daughter-in-law, but instead, her mother-in-law was taking care of her.
She wanted to get up, but she still couldn't get used to the tearing pain, so she had to stay obediently under the covers and eat her food in small bites.
However, it feels so good to have a mother's love!
After drinking the warm brown sugar water, Cheng Min felt much better. She managed to get up and change the wrinkled sheets.
"Still laughing! Come and help!" Cheng Min blushed a little when she saw the bright red stain on the bed sheet. It was all Chang Kun's doing, and now he was just standing by watching the show.
Chang Kun didn't help. Instead, he hugged Cheng Min from behind, saying, "Alright! New brides are always like this on their first day. Don't be shy. No one will laugh at you... Just rest well today. If you need anything, come back tomorrow."
Holding Chang Kun in her arms, the man's strong breath filled her nostrils, and Cheng Min felt her whole body go limp and weak. She only heard the last few words.
She was startled: "What? Again?!"
Last night, it was only once, and she couldn't take it anymore. She drifted off to sleep without realizing it.
If it happens again, she feels she won't be able to handle it.
Looking at Cheng Min's aggrieved little face, Chang Kun found it a bit funny; he wasn't that scary.
"I mean, take a good rest today, and do whatever you need to do tomorrow."
"Oh, oh! I thought..."
Thinking back to the madness of last night, Cheng Min felt both ashamed and afraid.
Chang Kun hugged Cheng Min tightly, whispering in her ear, "Being husband and wife isn't just about that kind of thing. Our good days are yet to come!"
Cheng Min felt a warm glow in her heart; she was truly blessed to marry such a considerate man.
Just as the two were getting all lovey-dovey, Xiuer skipped and hopped in.
"Big brother, Sister Xiaomin, what are you doing?!"
Startled, Cheng Min broke free from Chang Kun's embrace.
"No, nothing... Xiuer, have you eaten yet?" Her face turned bright red when the little girl saw the two of them hugging and being affectionate, and she quickly changed the subject.
Chang Kun was a little embarrassed. He thought no one was home at this time, but unexpectedly, a little show-off appeared.
"Xiuer, why are you all alone? Where is your mother?"
"Mom's at work, no one's playing with me!" Xiu'er pouted. "I want to come back and get some firecrackers."
"By the way, Big Brother, Sister Xiaomin, what were you doing just now?"
At the age of three or four, her curiosity was at its peak, and she still hasn't forgotten the way her older brother and sister hugged each other intimately.
"Ahem! It's adult business, kids shouldn't pry!" Chang Kun glared at Xiao Xiu'er, trying to scare her. "Otherwise, you can forget about playing with firecrackers."
At Xiuer's age, she loves to talk. If she were to go around telling everyone about her intimate moments with Cheng Min at home, they would both be embarrassed.
"Hmph! Fine, I won't ask then!" Xiu'er's eyes darted around a couple of times. "Big brother, if you take me to ride the firecrackers, I won't ask!"
She even took the opportunity to negotiate her terms.
All her older sisters went to school, leaving her all alone at home. She finally caught her eldest brother off work, so she was determined to stay by his side.
She would never understand that her older brother and Xiaomin were newlyweds, enjoying a sweet and happy time together.
"Take Xiu'er to play for a while, I'll rest a bit more." Cheng Min smiled, took Xiu'er's little hand, and said, "You have to be good and not run around, okay?"
"Yes, yes, I listen to Sister Xiaomin the most, and I'll listen to you too, Big Brother." With someone to play with, Xiuer immediately became the most obedient girl.
"Big brother, hurry up! Let's go set off the firecrackers and that spinning saucer..."
Watching Chang Kun and Xiu'er leave the room, Cheng Min hummed a little tune as she continued making the bed.
Before marrying Chang Kun, she had prepared herself mentally, knowing that married life would be different.
At this moment, she felt even more fortunate that everyone in Chang Kun's family, from her mother to her younger sisters Xiu'er and Xiao Qing, was doing well.
If I can find my mother later on, then my life will truly be complete.
Outside the courtyard gate.
Chang Kun held Xiu'er's small hand, and Xiu'er was tightly clutching a rocket in her small hand.
"That's it. The firecracker is to be launched into the sky. I'll light it in a moment, but don't move your hands."
"Big brother, I know... Be careful, don't blow me up!" Xiu'er wanted to set off the firecrackers again, but she was also a little scared. She turned her face to the side, not daring to watch Chang Kun light the fire.
"Don't be afraid! Watch when Big Brother lights the fire, and see how the rocket goes up into the sky."
It was already difficult to see clearly during the day when they were setting off firecrackers, and with Xiuer turning her face to the side, there was even less to see.
Was it just that "whoosh—bang!" that we heard?
Xiuer was held in Chang Kun's arms, one small hand holding a firecracker, the other hand tightly covering her eyes, leaving a gap between her index and middle fingers, her big eyes peeking out from between.
As Chang Kun lit the firecracker, the fuse hissed and crackled. Xiu'er held the firecracker far away, trying to suppress her fear, and squinted to watch.
With a crisp whooshing sound, a small spark exploded in mid-air.
"Wow! Big brother, I can launch firecrackers now!"
Xiuer jumped and danced with excitement. She had begged Wang Hongxia for a long time yesterday, but she hadn't been allowed to fly a firework. Today, her wish finally came true.
It's a pity it was daytime; the rockets would have been even more spectacular if it had been nighttime.
Spinning the plate was relatively simple. Xiuer hid in the corner and watched Chang Kun light the fuse.
Sparks flew as the spinning plate hurtled towards Xiu'er, who screamed in fright.
"Big brother, run!"
Without even glancing at the beautiful spinning plate, Xiu'er turned and ran, not forgetting to call out to her older brother.
Chang Kun stood with his hands in his pockets, watching Xiu'er's disheveled figure with a smile.
The tiny spark from the spinning plate is utterly harmless.
Xiuer, who was hiding behind the door, peeked out with half her face. Seeing that the spinning plate hadn't caught up with her and was just spinning around in place, she giggled again.
"This is so much fun! This is so much fun! Big brother, let's do it again!"
After tidying up the room, Cheng Min slowly moved to the front door, her steps unsteady.
"Xiaomin, what happened to your leg? Are you injured?"
Xiuer stared with wide, bewildered eyes, stepped forward to support Cheng Min, and observed Cheng Min's unnatural movements.
Cheng Min blushed and touched Xiu'er's hair: "Sister Min is fine, she'll be alright tomorrow."
According to the women at the school, new brides always have to go through this, and they usually recover the next day.
But when she thought of Chang Kun's fierce momentum, like a tiger descending a mountain, she had some doubts.
I'm wondering if I need to rest for a few more days before I can return to normal.
At this moment, Liu Meifen came out of the alley and saw Cheng Min standing at the door. She hurriedly called out.
"Xiaomin, why are you up? Go lie down for a while longer."
