Xiaoxiao laughed as she spoke, "Doesn’t seem like it, right? This canned orange was made in a processing factory because it’s inconvenient to transport them long distances, so they are made into cans and sold nationwide."
Zhao Tianlei thought about his recent trip, passing through several cities, each with plenty of local fruits.
Why hadn’t he thought of bringing some fruit back then?
He was too busy selling goods, with no time to look for local fruits.
Another thing was remembering his wife’s words, to save and not spend money recklessly.
"So making it into cans means it won’t go bad?"
Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, generally, fruit picked from trees can be preserved for half a month, some a bit longer, some shorter. If they can’t be sold within that period, isn’t that a waste? Thus, someone came up with the idea of making them into cans, which prevents the fruits from spoiling on the trees. Many other things are canned too, like fish, meat, and a lot more."
"Mom, you sure know a lot."
"That’s because mom reads a lot, that’s how I know these things. So you two little ones better study hard."
His wife was constantly reminding the children to study hard.
Would his wife despise him for not studying?
Should he consider trying to go to college?
But what if his wife gets admitted, and then he has to study too?
What about Da Bao and Xiao Bao?
He heated water for the family to wash their faces and bathe.
Xiaoxiao wanted to take a bath, as tomorrow would be the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"I want to take a bath."
"It might be a bit cold, though?"
"I’m not afraid."
After Xiaoxiao finished bathing, she shivered from the cold.
"Hurry and get under the covers, I’ll clean up," said Zhao Tianlei as he lifted the blanket, urging her to quickly get in. This was his warm bed, and Zhao Tianlei got up to tidy up.
He really wanted to buy an electric blanket, but there was no electricity.
"Wife, are you still cold?"
Xiaoxiao glanced at him. You’re holding me, and you still ask if I’m cold?
"Aren’t we staying up to wele the new year?"
She had always stayed up for the new year in her childhood. She couldn’t last, but her parents would stay up until midnight.
"Some people do, some don’t," he said, and then kissed Xiaoxiao on the face.
"Wife, I was thinking, can I?"
What?
What are you thinking?
This moment made Xiaoxiao stunned for quite a while.
But then she immediately remembered, this body was Zhao Tianlei’s wife.
She now had replaced the female supporting character, but this status hadn’t changed.
She could feel the heat passing through the clothes.
She wanted to refuse, but it was as if Zhao Tianlei knew she would refuse; he sealed her lips with a kiss, dazing her with it, leaving her unable to retort.
When Xiaoxiao woke up again, looking at the ceiling, she remembered what happened last night.
She wanted to cover her face.
The man had fallen for the beauty trap.
And it seemed not too bad.
"Wife, are you awake?" Zhao Tianlei was very energetic; he had his fill of ’meat’ last night.
Xiaoxiao wanted to say, I don’t want to get up.
But today was the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"I’ll get up soon."
Xiaoxiao hurried out of bed, though she still felt a bit of backache.
She struggled out of bed, dressed in new clothes, and went out.
"Mom..."
"It’s time for breakfast."
Xiaoxiao went to wash her face, brush her teeth, then wiped her face before going to breakfast.
Now, Zhao Tianlei found his wife increasingly pleasing to the eye.
Moreover, she was being more fragrant. If today weren’t the first day of the Lunar New Year, he wouldn’t have let her off so easily, especially since he hadn’t ’eaten meat’ for several months, not since the autumn harvest when he last shared a room with his wife.
