After Transmigrating, She Became A Little Widow In A Farming Family

Chapter 44



The next morning, Li Suniang woke up to find Du Wei still sleeping, exhausted from his long journey. She decided to make him breakfast, not wanting him to have to cook immediately after returning home. She got out of bed quietly and went to the kitchen.

As she opened the door, she saw Wangzai, the dog, wagging its tail and running towards her. She gently kicked it away, whispering, "Go away, you're useless. You didn't even warn me last night."

Li Suniang felt that if Wangzai had warned her, she wouldn't have been so startled. Wangzai, now half-grown, was innocent and didn't see the need to bark loudly since Du Wei was returning home, not an intruder.

In the kitchen, Li Suniang met Lao Du, who had also just woken up. "Dad, it's cold outside, why didn't you sleep in? What are you doing up so early?"

Lao Du replied, "Old people don't sleep much. I couldn't sleep, so I got up. Lying in bed wasn't comfortable either."

Lao Du regretted not holding his son last night, but it was too late now. He didn't want to go to Du Wei's room and hug him, as it would be too obvious.

"Since Du Wei is back, you two should go to town and buy some New Year's goods. It's time to add some new clothes for you and Xiao Zihao," Lao Du said, sitting by the stove and helping to cook.

With everyone home, Lao Du felt happy and content. In the past, it was just him and Du Wei, and sometimes Du Wei couldn't make it back for the new year, leaving him to spend the holiday alone. But this year was different, with Du Wei married and having a son, the family was finally together.

Li Suniang tried to decline, saying they already had clothes, but Lao Du insisted, "You can't not wear new clothes during the new year! And we're not short on money. I used to buy new clothes for your mother-in-law every year. Men can be rough, but women and children should be taken care of."

Lao Du's expression turned sorrowful as he mentioned his late wife, "If only she could see Du Wei married and happy, she would be overjoyed."

Li Suniang tried to comfort him, "Dad, don't be sad. During the new year, I'll visit her grave and pay my respects."

Li Suniang knew she wasn't good at comforting others, but she was a kind and filial person. Just as she didn't know what else to say to comfort Lao Du, Du Wei walked in.

"Wife, why didn't you wake me up?" Du Wei asked, seeing Li Suniang and his Dad in the kitchen.

"I saw you were tired and wanted you to sleep in," Li Suniang replied, feeling relieved to see Du Wei.

Lao Du excused himself to check on his cow, leaving the kitchen to the couple.

"From now on, I'll take care of cooking when I'm home. You can sleep in and don't have to get up early. Dad won't mind," Du Wei said to Li Suniang.

Lao Du, listening from outside, was pleased to see the couple's affection and understanding towards each other. He knew that a harmonious marriage required mutual care and understanding to last.

Li Suniang smiled and said to Du Wei, "I made handmade noodles this morning, want to try my cooking skills?"

Du Wei, already washed and dressed, snuck a kiss on Li Suniang's cheek, making her blush. "Of course, I have to try it. I'm sure it's delicious. My wife is beautiful, and her cooking must be good too."

Li Suniang playfully scolded him, "Flattery!"

Du Wei chuckled and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Just help me watch the fire," Li Suniang replied.

Du Wei happily agreed and went to tend to the fire.

As they chatted, Li Suniang asked, "Was Xiao Zihao still sleeping when you got up?"

"Yes, he was sleeping soundly," Du Wei replied.

Li Suniang explained, "He must have been too excited last night and overslept."

Du Wei thought, "Children need to sleep more, especially in cold weather."

Li Suniang smiled, feeling happy and content with her life.

She mentioned Lao Du's request to buy New Year's goods, and Du Wei agreed to go to town later.

Li Suniang didn't have high expectations, just wanting a simple life with a loving family. She reflected on her past life as an only child and the potential downsides of being spoiled. She appreciated her current life with Du Wei, who was a responsible and caring man.

Li Suniang has always felt that a man should look like a man, not put on rouge and powder like he is going on stage to perform. She has never liked men who are too feminine, and even better at dressing themselves up than women.

For Li Suniang, those beautiful men can only be used for appreciation. She doesn't know how to grow flowers, especially those precious and delicate flowers.

She likes the green grass that can't be burned by wildfires and grows again in the spring breeze.

As for money, it's not good to have no money. How can you live without it? But too much money is not good either. Too much money will make the family unstable, and there will be more conflicts between husband and wife. So it's better to have enough money and a little savings at home.

Li Suniang is not the kind of person who likes to compare. After all, expensive things are not necessarily suitable for everyone. People live a lifetime, and mediocre people worry about themselves. In fact, they are looking for trouble. If you think it through, you will be happy, and if you don't think it through, you will be in pain. Don't be hard on reality, because life has to go on. Don't be hard on yourself, because everything will pass.

Li Suniang felt that God was good to her, allowing her to marry into the kind family of the Du family as a widow.

"Why don't you wear the bracelet and earrings I bought for you? Don't you like them? How about we go to town and buy you a new one you like?" Du Wei saw that Li Suniang's wrists and ears were as empty as before, and he felt a little disappointed, so he asked.

"How can I not like it? As long as it's a gift from you, I would like it even if it's a wooden hairpin, not to mention such a beautiful silver bracelet! It's just that I have to work, and it's inconvenient to carry it. I'm afraid of getting the bracelet dirty, and it won't look good. As for the earrings, I'm afraid of losing them. You know, they are made of gold and are very valuable." 

In fact, men also need to be coaxed from time to time, especially when they buy something for you. Even if you don't like it, you can't say it directly to him, because it will hurt his heart. After one or two times, he will lose the desire to express his good intentions to you.

You can mention your preference in a tactful way or inadvertently. As long as he really cares about you, he will definitely remember it.

Du Wei, who was a little disappointed, suddenly felt happy after listening to Li Suniang's words. He thought happily, 'It turns out that my wife likes the things I gave her so much, so I will buy her something else next time.'

Du Wei likes to see his wife dressed up beautifully. Anyway, he will not go far away in the future, and she will not have to do the housework, so there is no need to worry about getting it dirty or damaged.

Li Suniang quickly prepared breakfast. At this time, Lao Du also walked in holding Xiao Zihao's hand.

"Mom, why didn't you call me when you got up with Daddy Du?" Xiao Zihao let go of Lao Du's hand, ran to Li Suniang, hugged her legs, and said coquettishly.

"You can't get up in the morning, and you blame others for not calling you. I called you, but it's a pity that you fell asleep and didn't hear it. Who made you fall asleep very late last night." Li Suniang lied with her eyes open.@@novelbin@@

"Really? Then I must go to bed early in the future." Xiao Zihao really believed what his mother said, and then nodded.

Du Wei was silent on the side. What his wife said must have her reasons, and he must not ruin her.

"Well, now that you know, wash your face and brush your teeth quickly, everyone is waiting for you to eat!"

When Li Suniang finished speaking, Du Wei couldn't help but look up at her. Why did he feel that his wife became a little bit naughty after he went out, but he liked it?

"Grandpa, look. This is what Daddy Du bought for me. Mom said it's called a longevity lock. Isn't it beautiful!" At the dinner table, Xiao Zihao took out the longevity lock on his neck and showed it to Du Lao.

"Well, it looks good." Lao Du nodded, and then glanced at Li Suniang's wrist inconspicuously, only to see that it was empty, so he took the opportunity when Li Suniang and her mother were paying attention to glare at Du Wei. 'You know to buy it for Zihao, but why don't you know how to please your wife? You are such a fool. It seems that I should remind him later.'

Lao Du really wronged Du Wei. He bought it for his wife first and then bought it for Xiao Zihao. It’s just that his wife didn’t wear it because she had to work.
