The morning came quietly, and the night disappeared quietly. The village gradually became more and more lively, and smoke started to come out of the kitchen chimneys.

Her mood was good before going to bed, so when she got up from her sleep, Liu Duo was full of smiles, as if she were bathing in the spring wind. She even woke up early for the first time! She put on her clothes, pants, and shoes. She picked up her wooden comb and started to hum while combing her long hair that went down to her waist. She pushed open the door and went out.

“Good morning, Yang!”

She saw Ye Yang sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard. Liu Duo had a smile in her eyes, and the dimples at the corners of her eyes were enchanting.

Ye Yang lifted up his head and looked at Liu Duo. He nodded, “Morning. Not going to sleep longer?”

It was only about six-something right now. Usually, Liu Duo would still be in deep sleep.

“I’ve slept enough, so I don’t need to sleep anymore.” Liu Duo sat on the wooden stool and combed her hair.

“Oh.” He lowered his head and continued to sweep the floor.

She combed her hair into a bun and went back into the house to look at the bronze mirror. She looked right and looked left and then nodded in satisfaction. “Very pretty!”

She put down the wooden comb and took a cloth to the outhouse. The other three brothers also finished putting on their clothes and walked out. After he washed his face and rinsed his mouth, Ye Ling went to the kitchen to cook. Ye Mo was busy starting the fire.

Ye Liu sat beneath the roof with his legs crossed, with one hand on his legs, and with another on the table. He would knock on the table from time to time. He smiled in a way that made him look punchable. “Yang, have you been sleeping well recently?”

“…” he glanced at Ye Liu.

People should not mention the problems of others so openly. It was truly a torment! Moreover, the wife was still young! He still needed to continue to suffer! Ye Yang indicated.

“Tsk, Yang, is your expression showing your unsatisfied desires?” Ye Liu touched his chin while looking playful.

He clearly knew Liu Duo was on her period and couldn’t consummate the marriage, but he still teased him! Even if she wasn’t on her period, Ye Yang had never thought about consummating the marriage.

Ye Yang’s always stoic face showed a rare eye roll.

After Liu Duo came out of the outhouse, she went beside the well to clean the cloth. When Ye Liu saw Liu Duo, the target of his teasing immediately changed.

“Yo, Little Duo, you woke up quite early today.” He stepped over beside Liu Duo.

“…” He really was a hooligan, and a hooligan whose attractive index was off the charts, no less!

“Come, Little Duo, I will help you wash it.” He intentionally came close to Liu Duo’s ear and spoke flirtatiously.

Liu Duo lowered her ears and said tenderly in a low voice, “Speak to me from further away. I don’t need your help.”

She finished washing it by herself and hung it on a rope. She then continued to wash her face and brush her teeth. She treated Ye Liu like air.

Ye Liu touched his nose and laughed. He did not feel that Liu Duo’s attitude was bad at all.

Five of them sat around the table and ate dumplings. They were made especially for Liu Duo by Ye Ling, because Liu Duo did not like to eat paste. In the past, before Liu Duo came to their house, they would always eat paste or plain congee. They could save more money that way.

Liu Duo bit into the dumpling and it was all meat fillings. Liu Duo ate happily. “Ling, these dumplings are delicious.”

“Eat more of them if they are delicious. There are still some in the pot.” Seeing Liu Duo happy also made Ye Ling happy.

She ate a whole fifteen dumplings. Liu Duo let out a belch and leaned back against the chair. Her face was full of satisfaction.

“Yang, there is only half a bag of powder (flour) left in the house.” Ye Ling put down his chopsticks and looked at Ye Yang.

After he finished his last dumplings, Ye Yang said, “Go buy it.”

Liu Duo stared at Ye Yang. He looked more and more pleasant. He wasn’t the most handsome of the four brothers, but he was the most mature and earnest one. Although he was a bit simple, and also a bit stoic, she still found him to be very masculine!

Ye Yang felt Liu Duo looking at him. He still maintained an expressionless face. Only he himself knew that his heartbeat sped up considerably.

“Doesn’t that mean we need to go to town? Yang, I want to go.” Liu Duo was very excited. A town area was an indispensable place for people who were on the road to success. She should go and observe it thoroughly.
