Spatial Supermarket: Period Transmigration and Marriage with a Strong Guy - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Furnishing

Hence, when Zhou Yi was not paying attention, Song Xi quickly picked up the slightly hot bowl and poured half of the chicken porridge for Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly rejected her. “Wife, I don’t like plain porridge.”

“Cut the crap. Just eat it if I tell you to.” Song Xi pursed her lips. She did not believe that he did not like plain porridge. It was more like he could not bear to eat it. He could even eat the bitter wild vegetable soup to his satisfaction, so how could he not like plain porridge?

“Alright, I’ll eat.” Zhou Yi smiled. His little wife’s heart ached for him. He had eaten wild vegetable soup since he was young and was really used to it. It was good as long as he could fill his stomach. Who would pursue taste?

But now that he had a wife, he could not be so casual about food in the future. He could mistreat anyone but his wife.

After dinner, the two of them sat under the osmanthus tree to cool down for a while. After that, Zhou Yi brought Song Xi to the bathroom. Now that Song Xi could use some strength, there was no need for Zhou Yi to considerately help wipe her. She only needed to be placed in the large wooden bucket and she could do the rest herself.

Zhou Yi placed Song Xi in the warm water and said reluctantly, “Wife, call me when you’re done soaking. Don’t move around lest you fall.”

This half-meter-tall wooden bucket was indeed a hurdle that Song Xi could not cross at the current stage. It was absolutely impossible for her to rely on her own strength to get out of the wooden bucket. Instead, it was very easy to cause a situation where she would flip the bucket and cause damage to her body again.

“I understand.” Song Xi subconsciously looked away and was too embarrassed to look up at him. Even if she was a relatively open-minded modern person who was almost 30 years old and not the shy and reserved girls of this era, she still felt shy about such things.

After Zhou Yi left, Song Xi soaked in the warm water and felt extremely comfortable. She closed her eyes in enjoyment and quickly snuck into the supermarket. She took a bottle of shower gel from the shelf in the toiletries area and pressed the pump. She squeezed a few drops of shower gel and wiped the shower gel on her body. Fortunately, this shower gel was not the kind with a lot of foam. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain when the bucket was filled with foam.

Actually, Song Xi really wanted to wash her hair. It was summer now, and her head was itchy from not washing it for a few days. She felt like it was about to stink, but there was a wound on the back of her head and gauze was wrapped around her head. Fortunately, Zhou Yi helped her change her dressing and gauze every day. Otherwise, the wound would probably fester and grow maggots.

Based on this, she should repay Zhou Yi well. Otherwise, it would really not make sense. Even her modern mother would not take care of her so carefully and would only let her take care of herself.

Song Xi was embarrassed to call Zhou Yi in after taking a bath, but she was afraid that she would cause Zhou Yi more trouble if she fell, so she still called Zhou Yi in the end. Zhou Yi wrapped her in a bath towel and sent her back to the room.

In this era, life was very simple. There were no entertainment activities at night and they could only sleep early. Song Xi only knew that it was dark, but she did not know what time it was. Although she had prepared some watches to sell, the time on the watch did not match here. It was useless to look at it. She could only wait until she went to the commune tomorrow and find an opportunity to take out the watch to compare the time. In the future, she would leave a watch outside to look at the time.

Song Xi lay on the bed and looked at the thatched roof above her head under the weak kerosene light. She missed the “star cinema” in her house very much. Every night before she went to bed, she would drink some red wine, watch a movie or television drama for a while, or play holographic games.

That life was extremely classy, but now, she could only lie obediently and listen to the croaking of the frogs and the cries of some unknown insects outside the window.

When she felt the space beside her sink a little, she knew that Zhou Yi had returned from his shower. Her heart was in her throat. She might have only slept with the opposite sex like her father and brother when she was young. When she grew up, she never slept with the opposite sex again. Now that there was a man beside her, not only was she nervous, but she was also a little afraid.

She was not in good health now, so Zhou Yi would not touch her. When she recovered, she could not guarantee that Zhou Yi would not touch her. Which man was willing to spend so much money to marry a decoration?

Although Zhou Yi’s 100 yuan betrothal gift, 20 catties of fine grain, and 80 catties of coarse grain were not much, it was already a lot in this era. Ordinary people really could not afford it.

“Wife, rest early. We have to wake up early for a checkup at the commune hospital tomorrow. Otherwise, we won’t be back for a day.” Zhou Yi glanced at Song Xi and saw that her eyes were still open, so he reminded her.

When Song Xi closed his eyes, he blew out the kerosene lamp. To the people in the mountains, kerosene lamps were luxury goods because tickets were needed to fetch kerosene. The people in the mountains did not have jobs, so they naturally did not have tickets, so they had to use them sparingly.

In the darkness, Song Xi was thinking about how to sell some things tomorrow and earn some money. As she thought about it, she slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, around five or six o’clock, Song Xi was woken up by Zhou Yi. After breakfast, Zhou Yi carried Song Xi out to take the ox cart at the gathering point of the village entrance. He was still preparing to go to the commune to buy some things, so he brought a basket. He carried Song Xi on his back and hung the basket in front.

Song Xi was in a very good mood because she could finally go out and experience everything in this era. Of course, all of this was built on Zhou Yi’s help. She could not complete it by herself for the time being. She still had this self-awareness.

There were already a few aunties sitting on the ox cart at the entrance of the village. After rush-harvesting and rush-planting, there was nothing else to do. Everyone also had time to go out and shop. Although it was not much money, they still had to think of a way to buy the necessities.

When the aunties saw Zhou Yi carrying his new wife over, they moved to the side, wanting to give up the best seat. After all, Zhou Yi’s new wife was a patient. It was impossible to ignore the fact that there was gauze wrapped around her head and she smelled like medicine.

“Hello, Aunts.” Zhou Yi originally did not want to care about them because they were not familiar with each other, but they had already expressed their goodwill, so it was not good for him not to answer. After greeting them, he took out something that looked like a small pillow from the basket on his back and placed it on the ox cart. Only then did he put Song Xi down so that she would not be hurt by the ox cart.

Zhou Yi put a brand-new straw hat on Song Xi’s head and sat beside her, waiting for the ox cart to set off. Due to the summer heat and the long journey, the ox cart set off especially early in the morning. It set off at half past six. After more than three hours of long journey, they could reach the commune before ten o’clock, which prevented the hot noon sun from shining directly.
