How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 61 The New Bathroom

"My lady, I've put everything inside, but it's too heavy..."

Before Shi An could finish speaking, Chu Ci picked up the box and said, "I'll take it to the car."

Shi An was speechless, "Ah...okay..."

That box was so heavy, and it contained leftover rice, noodles, and other food; it was incredibly heavy.

The wife lifted it up in no time; she's incredibly strong.

Only then did Shi An have a vague concept of the power of Chu Ci.

The wife seems really amazing...

After Chu Ci moved the box onto the cart, he continued to gather the remaining firewood and moved it onto the cart as well.

Shi An was responsible for harvesting all the vegetables planted in the field, preparing to take them to the new home.

Finally, Chu Ci hung his weapon on his body, looked around, and... the whole house was empty.

Except for... the rabbits and donkeys in the yard.

Shi An wiped the sweat from his brow and asked breathlessly, "My lady, what about the rabbit and the donkey?"

Chu Ci found a roll of rope and began catching rabbits one by one, while at the same time tying the donkey to the oxcart.

She replied, "There are no cages, so we can only tie them all up for now."

"Hmm..." Shi An looked at the now empty house and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

He murmured to himself, "I'm a little reluctant to part with it."

Chu Ci gently patted Shi An's head and comforted her, "Don't be sad, now is not the time to be sentimental. The sun is about to set, we need to hurry to our new home."

Shi An nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face, and said softly, "Wherever my wife is, that is my home."

Chu Ci's eyes softened, and she leaned close to Shi An's ear and whispered, "For me, only the place where Shi An is can be called home."

Upon hearing this, Shi An's cheeks flushed instantly. He shyly buried his face in Chu Ci's chest and hugged her tightly.

Because of the heavy loads on the carts, the two oxcarts did not move very fast.

By the time they arrived at Kongtong Alley, the sun had already set.

Looking at all the things in the yard, Chu Ci felt a little anxious, so she started moving things downstairs as quickly as possible.

Seeing this, the two drivers and Shi An quickly came over to help. With everyone working together, it wasn't long before all the luggage was unloaded.

Chu Ci gratefully paid the fare to the two older women, and then began to help Shi An tidy up the new house.

Although the courtyard is small, it is quite well-equipped. However, because no one has lived there for a long time, it is covered in dust and needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

Chu Ci first helped Shi An set up the kitchen, after all, food is the most important thing for people.

Shi An understood Chu Ci's thoughts very well. While setting up the kitchen, she also thoughtfully cooked a sweet potato for her.

"Let's have something to eat first," Shi An said gently.

Chu Ci hugged Shi An with emotion and couldn't help but kiss him several times, saying with a smile, "I knew it, Shi An is the best to me."

Shi An blushed slightly, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart: "My wife has worked hard today."

Chu Ci picked up a sweet potato, took a bite, and replied with a smile, "This is nothing! There's still a lot to do later."

After saying that, she finished the sweet potato in a few bites and then began to decorate the bedroom.

Chu Ci first picked up a rag and carefully wiped the bed, cabinets, and table to make sure they were spotless.

Then, she changed to a clean cloth and wiped the furniture again to make sure there was no dust left.

After confirming that everything was clean and tidy, she began to lay out the quilt and mattress, and then tidied up their clothes and put them in the wardrobe.

Even her socks and shoes were arranged neatly.

Next, she went into another room.

The room was relatively small, but it felt very cozy.

Chu Ci also wiped all the furniture clean with a damp cloth, and then laid out brand new sheets and quilts.

She also moved the table inside the room to the window so that she could make better use of natural light.

After careful arrangement, the entire room was transformed, becoming comfortable and inviting.

Chu Ci clapped his hands, very satisfied with his masterpiece.

This room will become her study, allowing her to concentrate on studying and reading.

Next, Chu Ci carefully took out all the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and neatly arranged them on the table.

Finally, she placed the precious book that Master Li had given her on top.

"I'll memorize it after I finish eating," she thought to herself, and couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, she could already smell the aroma of the food, and her stomach had started to rumble.

Sure enough, Shi An's voice came the next second.

"My lady, dinner is ready."

"Coming." Chu Ci flew over like a little bird.

"Wow, we're having fish today!" Chu Ci exclaimed, looking at the sumptuous meal on the table.

Shi An placed a piece of fish on Chu Ci's plate and asked gently, "Hmm, does my wife like it?"

Chu Ci nodded happily and ate the fish along with the rice.

One word, fragrant!

"As expected of Shi An, it's incredibly delicious." Chu Ci praised the grilled fish highly.

Shi An was very happy and said with a smile, "I'm glad my wife likes it."

Cooking for Chu Ci is particularly rewarding because his wife always praises his cooking, and the food is always eaten clean, with no leftovers.

This is absolutely crucial for a chef.

After dinner, Chu Ci released the rabbit into the backyard.

There's a chicken coop in the backyard that's been empty for a long time; it's perfect for putting rabbits in.

After working for half an hour, Chu Ci finally settled the rabbit and the donkey.

In just a short while, I was covered in sweat.

Fortunately, the bathroom in the new house doesn't have a bathtub, but a large bath pool.

Moreover, there are springs that provide hot water, making bathing several times more convenient than before.

Shi An knew that the two of them would definitely take a bath today, so she cleaned the bathtub in advance and filled it with water.

Chu Ci walked to the door, looked at him, and said, "You go first, I'll go first."

Shi An, who had been looking directly at Chu Ci, suddenly looked away, her face flushing slightly.

"You...you go first."

Chu Ci thought Shi An looked like an adorable rabbit, with rosy cheeks like ripe apples, and couldn't resist going up and kissing her.

She only let him go and went to the bathroom to take a shower when Shi An's lips were slightly swollen.

The bathtub had already been filled with water. Chu Ci tentatively dipped one foot in to test the water temperature. Finding it a bit too hot, she added some cool water.

Once the water temperature was adjusted to a comfortable level, Chu Ci immersed herself in it, sighed comfortably, and thought to herself that there was indeed a reason why this courtyard was so expensive.

The wooden tub they bought earlier was too small, and for Chu Ci, who is tall and has long legs, the space felt cramped, and she couldn't fully stretch out her body.

This bathtub, however, was completely different; it was spacious enough for her to stretch her legs out.

This feeling is absolutely amazing!
