Chapter Eight

It was Pei Zhiqi who suffered from insomnia that night.

The lady seemed to have unraveled some knots in her heart today, she stopped talking about the dream, breathed evenly, and slept soundly.

And he was still savoring the joy of the day.

The moonlight shone into the small house through the window paper, and the lady's face was very clear.

Although there is no physical contact, just lying quietly beside her, I also feel the depth of happiness. If I can guard this happiness every day, it will be a joy in the world.

He reached out his hand to caress the white hair of the person next to the pillow, thought for a while, stopped in the air, and then retracted it.

Turn over gently, go to bed quickly, the lady has other arrangements tomorrow morning, she needs to get up early.

*

I haven't had acne on my face since time travel, which is great.

Perhaps it has something to do with the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Since the time travel, I have never stayed up all night again!
Because if you stay up late, you need to light the lamp, and it takes oil to light the lamp, and the oil is very expensive.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaodao got up and stretched himself, only to find that it was just dawn outside.

Oh, by the way, I told my husband yesterday that I will get up half an hour earlier every morning to exercise.

When Li Xiaodao and Xianggong came to the yard, she took out the sword manual and looked at it. Sure enough, the first step of all martial arts is the horse stance, and then she has to practice the most basic sword swinging movements with both hands holding the sword.

By analogy, she felt that she could add arm strength exercises to Xianggong.

"From today onwards, I will be Xianggong's coach!" Li Xiaodao cleared his throat, stood upright opposite Xianggong with his hands behind his back, and spoke in a dignified manner.

"What is a coach?" Pei Zhiqi was curious.

"Uh...that is to teach Xianggong to practice swordsmanship, referred to as coach", he made up a nonsense sentence, and there was some truth in saying it.

"Understood," Pei Zhiqi nodded, "but my lady has never learned swordsmanship, so how can she teach me?"

Li Xiaodao took the sword manual and opened it in front of Pei Zhiqi: "Look, sir, each move in this sword manual not only has a description in words, but also a picture of a villain. I can compare it with the description and the movements of the villain." If there are any inconsistencies in the movements, you can help Xianggong to correct them, so that Xianggong will not practice wrongly and hurt his muscles and bones."

In fact, if you have a big mirror in modern times, you can look at it by yourself, but in ancient times, a small bronze mirror was very precious, and a big mirror was not realistic.

Moreover, she has also taken physical education classes and been to the gym. Although she didn't last long in the gym, she still knows a little bit about exercising.

After hearing the lady's explanation, Pei Zhiqi nodded, "My lady is right, so let's start!"

Pei Zhiqi held the sword in both hands and took a stance.

Li Xiaodao took off the sword and put it aside, smiled at Xianggong: "No hurry, let's warm up first to prevent muscle strain."

From time to time, the lady would say some nouns he hadn't heard before, some of which he would ask, and some of which he could probably guess the meaning without asking.

It should be the talk of the town.

Under the guidance of his wife, Pei Zhiqi began to exercise.

Pei Zhiqi mainly crouched, practiced swinging a sword, and exercised his arms with push-ups. Li Xiaodao also ran and jumped beside him. Both of them were sweating profusely for half an hour.

Is this going to lead to a long life, Li Xiaodao thought to himself, no environmental pollution, early to bed and early to rise, not staying up late and not playing with mobile phones, eating three meals a day on time, and exercising every morning, this is simply perfect in theory healthy lifestyle.

After sweating, both of them changed their underwear after exercising.

In addition to other clothes changed these days, the basket is already full.

"Sir, it's time to wash your clothes, where should you wash them?"

"Go to the river, I'll go in the afternoon," Pei Zhiqi replied.

This time I went to the town to return home. Although the lady's family is not a big family, but there are two or three guys, and a cook. These women must have never done rough work, and they will suffer if they can't let the lady marry.

For Li Xiaodao who grew up in the city, washing clothes is divided into three steps. The first step is to throw the clothes into the washing machine, the second step is to pour the laundry detergent, and the third step is to close the lid and press the start button.

Washing clothes by the river, she has only seen it in TV dramas, and she has never seen what real saponins look like.

If Pei Zhiqi has no special arrangements in the morning, he has a fixed reading time, and other things are usually arranged in the afternoon.

When Pei Zhiqi was studying, Li Xiaodao also accompanied him. Sometimes he memorized the five taels of ancient Western language, read novels when he was tired, or continued to read the exam papers given by his husband. Every morning was very fulfilling.

Pei Zhiqi does a lot of cooking, and Li Xiaodao also helps wash vegetables and add firewood. The two of them work efficiently together.

After eating, Pei Zhiqi will take the initiative to wash the dishes and wash the pot. If the lady wants to wash, he will not force him, and will help him from the sidelines.

The days are very harmonious.

In the afternoon of this day, Pei Zhiqi was about to go out to wash clothes. He first went to the west yard to ask his parents, who said that they had just washed yesterday and there was nothing to wash.

So Pei Zhiqi was ready to set off with a basket and basin on his shoulders, when the lady came out.

"Let's go together!" Li Xiaodao said.

"No need, my lady will take a nap, I'll wash up quickly, and I'll be back soon."

"I want to go and have a look," Li Xiaodao insisted.

Pei Zhiqi couldn't resist, so he nodded, "The lady and I go to relax, just watch from the sidelines."

In Baima village, there is only one river with clear and shallow water and washing stones. There are many washing stones along the river. When the weather is good, three or two people wash clothes by the river every day. Most of them are women.

Sometimes a few laundry stones are close together, and the people who do the laundry will chat while washing. The family members in the village have short stories with each other, and new people outside the village have new things to talk about.

Everyone in the Pei family, who is the only courtyard at the head of the village, often chats with each other. For example, the family never interacts with the villagers, and they don't participate in weddings and weddings, but there is a handsome talent in his family.

When Jun Xiucai was not married, there were bold people in the village who asked matchmakers to marry their daughters. Not only one family, but many families also went to say that. If a scholar becomes an official in the future, it will be even more terrible, not to mention that the scholar of the Pei family looks very good, he doesn't look like a villager, but rather a noble son in the city.

But they were all politely rejected by the family, saying that the scholar was devoted to studying and had no intention of getting married.Later, the scholar scholar saw that he was getting older, he was nineteen years old, and he hadn't married yet. Everyone in the village was worried about Pei's family.

A few days ago, Mr. Xiucai, who refused to agree to any girl, suddenly said that he wanted to get married. He married the daughter of the Li family in the town. He also entertained fellow villagers who were willing to have a banquet for the first time.

A scholar may become an official in the future, and even the village head will pay three minutes of respect to curry favor from time to time, and even send his grandson to the scholar to guide his homework. Others in the village naturally understand the truth. seats.

But the Pei family refused to return all the gifts brought by everyone, and only allowed them to enter the door for a meal, and put everything outside the door after the meal, and then took it back without accepting a single cent.

This family is really strange.The Pei family only rented a few acres of land, and they did not go fishing or other livelihoods. They were able to provide for a scholar who was studying, and built several houses in a large courtyard.

The older generation only knew that the Pei family came from the north about ten or twenty years ago, but the Pei family did not communicate with the villagers very much, and no one knew the details.

In short, it is a mysterious family, but it has been almost 20 years, and the villagers are used to it.

When Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao came to the river, two or three stones upstream had already been washed.

The two picked a stone a little far away from the crowd, Pei Zhiqi put down the basket and basin, and began to arrange the clothes for washing.

Li Xiaodao rummaged for a long time but couldn't find the legendary acacia used for laundry.

"Sir, where's the acacia?"

"What acacia?" Pei Zhiqi didn't realize it for a moment.
