The first time in history

Chapter 190 Li Shishi gives Qian Mingduo a bath

"Then turn over and I'll rub your back." Li Shishi took a rough cloth from the kang and said, "Is this what you bought for your bath?"

"Yes!" Qian Mingduo turned over slowly, "This kind of coarse cloth can rub off the mud. You can't use the silk you use. It's okay for you, but it won't work for me."

Li Shishi rubbed Qian Mingduo several times, caressing his strong back. She pressed her whole body against Qian Mingduo's back and made a soft "嘤" sound.

Qian Mingduo turned around slowly, and he and Li Shishi were both panting rapidly, their hot lips pressed tightly together.

Soon, the water in the tub began to ripple. Wave after wave, water began to overflow the tub. As Li Shishi's panting became louder and louder, the water in the tub "gurgled" rhythmically. The ground was already wet, and the water was still overflowing from the tub...

On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, Qian Mingduo and Li Shishi were awakened by the sound of firecrackers. It was still dark, but people got up early to welcome the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Qian Mingduo and Li Shishi smiled at each other. They didn't have many relatives in this prosperous Lin'an Prefecture, so they didn't need to visit relatives and friends and wish each other a happy new year like other people did.

Qian Mingduo, wearing a big cotton gown, ran to the kitchen and grabbed a bundle of firewood, which he put into the kang. The firewood from last night was almost burned out, with only a few charcoal flames.

He ran into the bedroom, breathing heavily. "It's cold, really cold."

"Come in quickly!" Li Shishi lifted the quilt, "I'll warm you up!"

Li Shishi hugged Qian Mingduo tightly in her arms, "It's really cold outside. You've been out for just a short while, and you're already so cold."

"It's cold, but it will be fine soon. Add some firewood and it will be warm in a while." Qian Mingduo kissed Li Shishi hard on the face.

"You're annoying!" Li Shishi scolded with a smile, "There's still a mark on my neck, and you kissed me so hard on my face... annoying!"

Li Shishi's body was soft and smooth, Qian Mingduo couldn't help but kiss Li Shishi's mouth all the way down...

"What do you want to eat later?" Qian Mingduo said breathlessly, "Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year!"

"I want to eat you!" Li Shishi's face flushed, and she said with rapid breathing: "If I eat you every day, I won't be hungry anymore!"

"Ha, ha, ha..." Qian Mingduo laughed, "Okay! Then you can eat me, if you can have a meal!"

It was not until noon that Qian Mingduo and Li Shishi got up. After working in the kitchen for a while, Qian Mingduo prepared several dishes.

"Aren't we going to put up Spring Festival couplets?" asked Li Shishi.

"It seems you have forgotten. I have already pasted it last night." Qian Mingduo poured a glass of wine for Li Shishi.

The two of them clinked their glasses gently. "Although we are not husband and wife, we are better than husband and wife." Li Shishi looked at Qian Mingduo tenderly. "Having you in this life... is enough!"

Qian Mingduo nodded, "I am very lucky to meet you and live with you. I am very happy to be with you!"

"Me too!" Li Shishi said softly.

"After dinner, let's go to the street and buy some firecrackers to set off!" Li Shishi said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's buy some more fireworks. Let's set them off in our yard at night to add some joy to the Spring Festival!"

There are so many people on the street, and everyone's face is filled with happiness and joy. Everyone is walking on the street with their families, old and young. When they meet someone they know, they will wish each other a happy new year.

Qian Mingduo and Li Shishi held hands tightly and walked slowly forward along with the bustling flow of people in the street.

"Everyone please make way, everyone please make way!" A red wool sedan chair came towards them, and a smart maid kept saying in front of the sedan chair.

Qian Mingduo saw that it was Su Xiaoqing's maid, so he and Li Shishi moved to the side of the road. When Su Xiaoqing's sedan passed by them, Su Xiaoqing opened the window and saw Qian Mingduo at a glance.

"Stop!" Su Xiaoqing ordered, "Weren't you going to come to my house to tell stories? Why haven't you come back yet?"

Qian Mingduo smiled and said, "I'm afraid your family will beat me up, so I don't dare to go!"

Su Xiaoqing looked at Li Shishi coldly. She couldn't see what Li Shishi looked like with her cloak and hat on. "Who is this? Didn't you say last time that you were alone? How come you got married so soon?"

Qian Mingduo looked at Li Shishi and said nothing.

"Why are you covering it so tightly? Is it because you are too pretty or..." Su Xiaoqing said with a sweet smile.

Qian Mingduo smiled slightly, "Miss Su, you are talking nonsense! Whether it looks good or not is none of your business!"

"Is it just a casual question?" Su Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose. "Look, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Shishi let go of Qian Mingduo's hand and took off the hat of her cloak. "Miss, today is the first day of the new year. My husband and I wish you a happy new year!"

Su Xiaoqing and the people around her opened their eyes wide and looked at Li Shishi. Her peerless beauty and dignified and elegant temperament made everyone around her admire her.

Li Shishi immediately put on her hat and held Qian Mingduo's hand, "Husband, let's go for a walk in front. I dare not delay the young lady!"

"Is this the young lady whose house you said you were going to tell stories at last time?" Li Shishi asked softly.

"That's right." Qian Mingduo smiled helplessly, "She felt like she had taken some medicine to choke her today. She must have been scolded by her father at home."

Li Shishi snuggled up to Qian Mingduo and said, "Let's ignore her and just walk around our street."

Su Xiaoqing leaned on the window of the sedan chair and looked back at the figures of Qian Mingduo and Li Shishi. She shook her head and told the maid, "Let's go!"

A handsome man in gorgeous clothes in the crowd also stared at Li Shishi's back, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After dinner, Qian Mingduo brought a small stool and asked Li Shishi to sit under the eaves. He opened a coarse cloth bag on the stone steps, and inside was a bag of fireworks and firecrackers.

There were already sounds of firecrackers outside the yard, and beautiful fireworks were blooming in the sky from time to time.

"I want to see this." Li Shishi said, pointing at a firework.

"Okay, let's set this off first." Qian Mingduo carefully pulled out the fuse from the firework, then placed the firework in the middle of the yard, took out a half-burned piece of firewood from the kang, blew out the open flame, and lit the firework with charcoal.

With a muffled sound, a bright spark shot straight into the sky. With a loud bang, a group of red fireworks exploded, and countless sparks quickly spread in all directions, forming a huge red flower in the sky.

"So beautiful!" Li Shishi clapped her hands, "Please put another one!"

"Which one do you want to see?" Qian Mingduo took out a bunch of fireworks, "I'll set off whichever one!"

Li Shishi shook her head. "Place them wherever you like. I think they all look good!"
