Chapter 700: Chapter 690 New Year’s Day

After midnight, Li Hongjun went out to set off a string of firecrackers, and with that, the New Year had been celebrated.

There was no television in the house, so the Spring Festival Gala could not be watched, and no one stayed up; people in both rooms lay down to sleep.

Shen Yunfang made the bed, pulled Pangpang and Manman’s bedding to the side a bit, and then laid down.

"Tired?" Li Hongjun asked in a whisper in the darkness.

"Yeah, everyone else is enjoying the holiday, but as a daughter-in-law here, I’m destined to serve others." Cooking for just these few people wasn’t really a big deal for her current physique. But she couldn’t say that; only a crying baby gets milk. The same went for men; you had to exaggerate your hardships to get their sympathy.

As expected, Li Hongjun came closer and began to massage his wife tenderly.

Shen Yunfang hummed comfortably. Li Hongjun had a strong grip, making him very suitable for massages, and he knew a bit about it too, making every spot he touched feel good.

However, her cat-like moan was particularly enticing in the night.

Li Hongjun was in the prime of his youth, and had been abstinent since they had returned to his hometown, which meant he was very susceptible to temptation. So, as he massaged, his hands began to wander.

"Hey, what are you touching? The kids are right next to us," Shen Yunfang protested in a low voice, completely familiar with her husband’s antics after so many years of marriage. She could tell what he was up to the moment his hands started to move.

"It’s fine, they’ve long been asleep," Li Hongjun said as he pressed his body onto his wife’s back.

"Get off, you just said I was tired."

"No worries, you just lie there and enjoy, I’ll give you a thorough massage," he replied.

When Shen Yunfang woke up again, it was already the morning of the first day of the New Year.

She turned slightly and let out a pained hiss, angrily smacking the person beside her.

This man became wild without regard for the situation. Last night, despite it being so late, he was relentless, and her repeated words did nothing.

Once he was satisfied, she almost felt wilted.

At home, this wouldn’t be a problem, she would just rest a bit longer and recover. But now, at his family home on the first morning of the New Year, there was no time for a daughter-in-law to lounge in bed.

"What are you doing, still not behaving? You didn’t get enough last night, did you?" She heard his slightly hoarse, just-awakened voice overhead.

"Go to hell, it’s dawn. Hurry up and start cooking," Shen Yunfang smacked his chest without much patience. "It’s broad daylight, what can you do to me now?"

"Hehe," Li Hongjun chuckled. He loved his wife’s unwillingness to concede. Normally she was too sensible, making it difficult for him to catch any opportunity. "You’ve got it wrong. It’s still dark outside."

As he spoke, he pressed himself upon her again, "Let me show you what I can do."

Shen Yunfang immediately felt her husband’s eagerness. She initially wanted to resist, but in the next moment, she was swept into the vortex.

Old Li had been tossing and turning on the kang bed for a while now, and even though he didn’t have a watch and couldn’t tell the time exactly, his many years of internal clock told him that it was way past their usual breakfast time. Yet, there was no sign of activity outside.

He simply couldn’t lie in bed any longer, so he got up, put on his clothes, opened the door, and looked across to the opposite side.

Turning around, he returned to his own room. Unable to lie back down, he sat on the edge of the kang bed and started to smoke.

Having finished a pot of tobacco, there was still no movement from the opposite side.

Li Lao Tou paced around the room several times before he couldn’t hold back anymore; he pulled open the door, stepped out, and deliberately coughed loudly twice while standing in the central hall.

"Hongjun, are you up yet? What time is it? Tell your wife to hurry up and come out to cook," Li Lao Tou’s voice rang out from outside.

"I’m up, Dad. We’ll be out soon," Li Hongjun tried to sound normal, but it was basically impossible to keep his voice steady due to the excitement of both body and mind.

Luckily, the old man outside thought his son had just woken up and didn’t take much notice. After calling everyone, he went back to his room with hands clasped behind his back, waiting for breakfast.

Quite a while later, Shen Yunfang lazily pushed the person on top of her and said, "Hurry up and get up, you’re going to crush me to death."

He quickly pulled the nearby quilt over, covering the most crucial parts of himself and his wife before turning to look.

He breathed a sigh of relief...

Thankfully, the children were all still sleeping soundly. It was good that the kids had played madly until late yesterday.

Shen Yunfang lay spread-eagled on the kang bed for a while before finally gathering enough strength to sit up and get dressed.

"What are you doing?" Li Hongjun asked as he watched his wife sit up.

"What else can I be doing? Didn’t your dad just call out at the door? Hurry up and get up to make breakfast," said Shen Yunfang as she pulled on her clothes, her heart sour, "Being a daughter-in-law in the Li family really is a loss. At night they don’t let you rest, and in the day you have to mother the whole family. I mean, seriously, is there anyone more miserable than me?"

Li Hongjun was amused by his wife’s turnip-like tone and pulled her back into the blanket, saying, "Oh, you’re as miserable as a little turnip. Let me cherish you a bit more."

"Stop it and get out of bed quickly. If your dad comes again and catches us in the blanket together, I’ll die of embarrassment," Shen Yunfang said but comfortably lay in Li Hongjun’s arms. Who would want to get up and be the cooking mama during such affectionate moments?

Li Hongjun, thinking of his own dad, and fearing he might actually come over again, sighed and said, "You just lie there comfortably, cuddle with the kids and sleep a bit longer. I’ll go and make breakfast."

Shen Yunfang didn’t stand on ceremony, given that she was really lacking sleep, "Fine, you’re to blame, so you’ll have to take responsibility. Hurry up and make breakfast for your dad. Don’t disturb us girls." Saying that, she waved her hand dismissively, pulled over the quilt to cover herself up, and prepared to catch up on her sleep.

Li Hongjun slapped her on the bottom in annoyance, "Don’t sleep yet. Put on your underwear first. If the kids wake up and crawl into your quilt, what then? Hurry up."

"I’ve got no more strength; you put them on for me," Shen Yunfang called out tenderly and softly.

"How old are you now? Still acting like your daughter, always playing coy and acting lazy," Li Hongjun had no choice but to first take his wife’s underwear that was handed over and help her dress, piece by piece.

Only then did he change into fresh ones for himself.

Afterward, he picked up all the discarded underwear from atop and beneath the kang bed and placed them into a basket to wash when he had time.
