Gu Zi set Su Le aside to play on her own, picked up a few small cloth flowers and a few ropes, and stood up to walk outside. She told Su Li and Su Bing, “Follow me, and you’ll see what I’m up to.”
Su Bing rose to his feet and followed her, and Su Li quickly jumped off the sofa, hurriedly slipping on his slippers to chase after them.
They watched as their mother walked over to the pigeon cage and tied the colorful flowers she held onto the surrounding cage.
After securing a flower, she turned to them and said, “Could you help me move the ladder over here? I need it.’
Without waiting for their response, she continued to tie the other flowers. By the time the two brothers had carried the ladder over, she had already adorned the entire pigeon cage with flowers.
The vibrant flowers encircling the pigeon cage were strikingly bright and eye-catching, creating a unique scenery.
The brothers were in awe of their mother’s creativity, marveling at how she could make even a pigeon cage look so beautiful.
Su Bing asked, “Mother, are you planning to put the largest flower on top of the pigeon cage?”
Gu Zi took the large flower from Su Li and set the ladder against the pigeon cage. Hearing Su Bing’s question, she replied, “Yes, you’re very smart!”
Su Li cast a jealous glance at his brother, struggling to suppress a smile. Why was his brother always smarter than him?
Gu Zi climbed up the ladder with the large flower, Su Bing took the initiative to steady the ladder, and Su Li quickly followed suit, holding the other side.
When Su Shen returned, he saw his petite wife gracefully perched on top of the pigeon cage, busily doing something.
He strode over, signaling to the brothers with his eyes to let them go inside he would take over.
The brothers understood but were reluctant to give up their places. However, Su Bing, being more sensible, eventually pulled Su Li inside the house.
With one hand, Su Shen steadied the ladder. He leisurely admired the bright flowers surrounding the pigeon cage, finding everything within his sight beautiful. Finally, his gaze settled on her, and he asked, “Are you planning to raise pigeons?”
Upically, decorating a pigeon cage was done to make the pigeons feel at home, encouraging them to recognize the place as their own.
Upon hearing his voice, Gu Zits heartbeat quickened, and she responded in a softer tone, “Yes, we only need to eat one or two for health benefits. I want to keep the rest to lay pigeon eggs and slowly tame them.”
Pigeon eggs were nutritious and suitable for everyone, which gave Gu Zi the idea of raising pigeons.
Once she finished tying the flowers, she descended the ladder with large strides. She realized that whenever Su Shen was by her side, she felt especially bold. Like now, descending the ladder was even more exhilarating than climbing it.
When she stepped off the ladder, his hand reached out to steady her. He looked at her slightly reddened hands and told her, “In the future, leave the tasks that involve climbing or heavy lifting to me. You should make use of your husband, understand?”
Gu Zi bit her lip and obediently nodded. Her gaze lingered on his stern face for a few seconds before she said, “I also plan to clean the pigeon cage. That’s not considered heavy work, right?”
Su Shen didn’t answer her question but instead said, “Go get a new mop and cloth. Pigeons like cleanliness, so we’ll use these tools exclusively for cleaning the cage.”
Gu Zi obediently followed his instructions, surprised that he knew so much about raising pigeons. When she returned, she saw that he had already rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing the attractive veins on his forearms, ready to get to work.
Gu Zi wet the cloth and handed it to him. He took it from her and turned to clean the pigeon cage. With a single reach, he easily touched the top of the cage, making Gu Zi feel somewhat dwarfed.
Gu Zi stood behind him, admiring his broad back and the healthy, sexy bronze skin of his exposed arms.
She took a step forward to view his neck from the side. The Adam’s apple on his neck, a central protrusion of cartilage, was very prominent. It seemed to be breaking through the bronze skin, like a roaring beast, rugged and masculine.
After watching for a while, Gu Zi turned and went inside to cook. As a wife, she should provide this warm-hearted and handsome man with a hot dinner.
Su Shen quickly finished cleaning the pigeon cage. As Gu Zi was simmering some food in a pot, she saw him come in. She came out of the kitchen and handed him a bowl of warm water.
She felt that nothing was more thirst-quenching after work than a bowl of warm water. He took the bowl and drank in large gulps, while Gu Zi watched the movement of his firm jaw and the sexy bobbing of his Adam’s apple.
When Su Shen finished drinking, he looked up to meet her gaze.. In a gentle voice, he asked, “What’s for dinner tonight?”
