I am a Primitive Man-Chapter 783: What Auntie?
Chapter 783: What Auntie?
“Eat less, don’t make your teeth sore, or else you won’t be able to eat the braised ribs tonight,” Han Cheng said, swallowing hard as he spoke to Bai Xue, who was munching on green apricots.
“Mm-hmm…” Bai Xue obediently nodded, then quickly stuffed the remaining half of the apricot in her hand into her mouth, chewing it while pulling out another one from her pocket and popping the whole thing in — only then did she stop.
Watching this, Han Cheng couldn’t help but swallow again, gaining a deeper understanding of the fierce taste preferences of women.
Inside the silkworm room were the tribe’s first-season silkworms, which had already molted three times. After a while, these silkworms would begin spinning silk, making cocoons — a classic move.
Because of this, their appetites were huge; they ate voraciously.
The mulberry leaves in the basket were visibly disappearing, accompanied by a rustling sound inside the room.
After watching the silkworms eat for a while and swallowing several times along with Bai Xue, Han Cheng finally couldn’t stay any longer.
He thought if he stayed, he’d be too full from just swallowing saliva and wouldn’t have any appetite for ribs tonight.
“Hmm?”
Amid Bai Xue’s crunching on the apricots, Han Cheng arrived at the silkworm room doorway and suddenly realized something, freezing in place.
Looking at Bai Xue, who was sneaking another green apricot from her pocket, Han Cheng absentmindedly rubbed his waist and seemed to understand what was going on.
He remembered that when Bai Xue was pregnant with little Pea, she had an intense craving for sour things. Now, suddenly being so interested in these insanely sour green apricots — could it be that this little childhood bride was pregnant with his child again?
This thought filled Han Cheng with surprise, leaving him somewhat stunned at the doorway.
As the surprise welled up in his heart, a flash of realization and regret appeared.
“Big Auntie” (a euphemism for menstruation) is a very mysterious thing. Not only do women both hate and love it, but men do too.
Men’s mixed feelings stem from the fact that whether it comes or not, they have to take the blame and endure endless nagging from their girlfriends. Also, it’s like a gatekeeper before marriage and a savior after.
Before marriage, encountering Auntie’s arrival can drive people crazy with frustration. After marriage, when it comes, it makes one feel relaxed all over.
Han Cheng’s current backache and frustration came from this.
No wonder he’d felt the time dragging on, thinking relatives should have arrived by now, but Bai Xue’s “relatives” hadn’t come. Turns out she quietly got pregnant with his kid!
Had he known earlier, he could have used that as a righteous excuse to dodge Bai Xue’s nagging.
After a brief moment of late regret, the joy of possibly becoming a father again overwhelmed everything else.
Han Cheng stood at the door, his hands clasped at his waist, a smile he couldn’t suppress spreading across his face.
Bai Xue and the other women caring for silkworms inside looked on in surprise as Han Cheng directly rushed into the silkworm room.
When he reached Bai Xue, his demeanor suddenly softened.
“You come out with me for a moment.”
Han Cheng took Bai Xue’s hand, holding the apricot, and gently stroked her still very smooth belly, speaking gently.
Bai Xue was a little stunned, not understanding what was going on with Brother Cheng today.
After a brief daze, her gaze fell on Han Cheng’s hand pulling her hand with the apricot, and suddenly she understood.
She quickly lowered her head, shoved the half-eaten apricot into her mouth, chewed it as fast as she could, and swallowed without stopping.
Inside the room, the women raising silkworms shared meaningful smiles and exchanged knowing looks after seeing the Divine Child touch Bai Xue’s belly.
“Cough, cough…”
“Apricot… apricot pit…”
Bai Xue suddenly bent over, coughing as she followed Han Cheng out of the silkworm room, speaking intermittently.
Han Cheng was startled and quickly patted her back gently.
After a while, seeing Bai Xue hadn’t recovered, Han Cheng thought for a moment and reached out to tug her ear.
“Straighten up!”
Han Cheng tugged Bai Xue’s ear as he spoke.
Bai Xue obediently straightened, but Han Cheng didn’t let go. He kept pulling her right ear, this time with more force than before.
“Ow… ow…”
Bai Xue said, standing on tiptoes from the pain.
Pain was supposed to be there.
Han Cheng thought as he didn’t lessen his grip.
“Did the pit go down?”
Han Cheng asked.
At his question, Bai Xue’s attention shifted from her ear’s pain to the apricot pit stuck in her throat.
The pit that had choked her so badly had somehow disappeared without her realizing it.
“It went down!”
Bai Xue said happily.
Hearing this, Han Cheng released her ear and lightly tapped her forehead twice to scold her.
This woman was already the mother of one child, about to have a second, yet still so careless!
“Brother Cheng, does tugging ears… really cure illness?”
Bai Xue didn’t mind Han Cheng tapping her forehead; she was already used to it.
Now, rubbing her ear, which was a little warm from his tugging, she looked at Han Cheng with amazement, as if discovering a new continent.
Of course, tugging ears can help cure specific ailments, but this method only works for food stuck in the throat.
Pulling the ear causes pain, making the person involuntarily stretch their neck, straightening the throat, and making it easier for the stuck food to pass down.
“It can, but only for choking,” Han Cheng replied casually.
Seeing Bai Xue was truly fine, he hurriedly asked, “When did your big Auntie come?”
“What Auntie?”
Still caught up in the wonder of ear-tugging as a cure, Bai Xue was confused by Han Cheng’s question.
“Big Auntie.”
Han Cheng repeated helplessly.
“Big what, Auntie?”
Seeing Bai Xue’s bewildered face, Han Cheng suddenly felt like splashing water on her…
