Transmigration of Mian [Reluctantly] Becomes His Man [Wife]

Lei Tie was a man of action; the soil in the earth had been ploughed loose. First of all, water needed to be applied to ensure the water content in the soil. It was only that Qin Mian had a small body and merely carried water on a shoulder pole for one trip. The two buckets were only half filled but his shoulders were extremely painful under the pressure, which made him bared his teeth.

Lei Tie frowned and took away his shoulder pole, “Go back.”

“But…” Qin Mian rubbed his shoulder and looked at the field in embarrassment. The current him was indeed not made for heavy work, but he was a man, too. It was impossible for him to eat a ready-cooked meal. He had to do something for the family. Since he was not good at farming, then he must do something he was good at.

“Then I’ll go back first. Leave this work to you? Can you [manage]?” He was a little suspicious. Looking at Lei Tie’s appearance, it was impossible that he could be farming during the ten years he left.

Lei Tie said as if by the way, “I used to live with an old farmer.”

Qin Mian noticed that there was an illusion of sadness flashed past in Lei Tie’s eyes, his mouth opened wide. Lei Tie was born in a farming family, but his farming skill came from outsiders, which was a sad thing. His past ten years had certainly not been a pleasant experience. Although Qin Mian was curious, now was not the time to ask. It was just that the sadness he just saw made him care.

He stepped forward in two, patted Lei Tie on the shoulder and said positively: “It’s all over. Come home when the sun sets.”

Lei Tie nodded and thrown a look at his shoulder.

Qin Mian hurried home. The farm work was left to Lei Tie, but he didn’t eat idly without work.

He took out a pencil and a stack of white paper he bought in the town last time and leaned forward on the dining table as he recalled the things that might be used to make money. Lei Tie made money by his physical strength, while he made money by his brain. In fact, he had a preliminary plan in mind for making a fortune, but that plan was too big and right now, he was short of manpower and capital, so it was difficult to carry out. He could only do it slowly.

He didn’t think much, only took consideration of what in front of him first.

He found a straight stick for a ruler, picked up a pencil to write and draw on the paper. It was about an hour before he raised his head and looked at the drawing on the paper with satisfaction. He could earn another sum of money with these things.

It was still early in the day. He took out another piece of paper and continued to draw on the table. The design drawing of a table, chair and cabinet with modern characteristics gradually appeared on the paper. He didn’t plan to sell them, but he planned to find someone to make them for his own use after the house was built. As a modern man, he was still more used to modern furniture. Idle with nothing to do, he simply drawn an interior design planning for reference.

“Wife, I’m back.” Lei Tie looked down at the man who was writing and the strange thing in his hand that he used to write attracted Lei Tie’s attention. Light flashed past in his eyes but he didn’t disturb the wife. He retreated a few steps and called out again before he came near. The papers on the table were still there, but the thing that he used to write was gone.

“You’re early today.” Qin Mian loosened his muscles before he got up and took the hoe in Lei Tie’s hand to put it aside. “You go wash up first. The rice is already cooked; I’ll go stir-fry the dishes.”

After Lei Tie led the ox to the pond to drink water, he tied up the ox and dragged a small bundle of straw before he went to the kitchen to scoop water to wash his face.

Qin Mian poured oil into the heated clean wok. “I thought of another money-making idea. I want to go to town tomorrow.”

“Together.” Lei Tie said.

“Done with the farmland?” Qin Mian asked.

“No yet.”

Qin Mian hesitated for a moment, knowing that Lei Tie wouldn’t let him go to town alone. “Better forget it. Ah, if only I could master kung fu, I wouldn’t have to make you to accompany me to town all the time.”

“I’ll teach you.” Lei Tie suddenly uttered.

Surprised by the turn of events, Qin Mian was startled and the water on his hand dripped into the frying wok which then made “zeze” sound. With a “pat”, a drop of oil splashed on the back of his hand that almost made him thrown away the spatula.

“You know martial arts?” He looked at Lei Tie in surprise and joy.

“Nn.” Lei Tie frowned as he grabbed Qin Mian’s hand and rubbed the back of it. His plain tone seemed as though kung fu was a trivial matter.

Qin Mian gripped Lie Tie’s hand instead and couldn’t hide his joy. “Excellent! When will we start?” Which man hadn’t had a kung fu dream? For him, the matter of Lei Tie knowing kung fu could be interpreted as a surprise no different as gold dropped from the sky.

Lei Tie motioned to the wok, “Stir-fry first. Talk after the house is built.”

“Why?” The wok was heated up until it fumed smoke, Qin Mian hurriedly poured in the washed vegetables. “Can’t you teach me tomorrow?”

He yanked Lei Tie’s hand and signaled him not to leave.

Lei Tie sat down on a bench in front of the stove and added wood into the hearth, “I don’t want outsiders to know about this. Basic martial arts require horse stance training. After the house is built, [we] can train in the yard.”

He said it reasonably. Qin Mian could only say “oh” regretfully, but his excitement didn’t subside. When he thought that one day he could not only protect himself or help others, he was excited. He became more curious about Lei Tie’s past experience. He didn’t forget to turn over the dishes in the frying wok, “Who taught you kung fu? How long did [you] train? Can [you] fight one against ten?”

Lei Tie paused. “One against ten is a cinch. Talk later.”

Qin Mian felt a bit lost, but he was not an unreasonable person and soon left this feeling of loss at the back of his head. He had never seen Lei Tie practice martial arts during this period of time. It must be that Lei Tie deliberately concealed it from him. Since it’s been revealed to him today, didn’t it mean that the relationship between them was gradually getting closer? Thinking of this, he was in a good mood again. “In this case, I’ll continue to run and exercise from tomorrow to lay a good foundation. You, the Master, should be generous with the teaching in the future.”

“Nn.”

Qin Mian was in a good mood. Seeing Lei Tie was more pleasing to the eye, he thrown a smile and raked up a sweet-smelling sweet potato from the ashes under the stove. It was very hot and he quickly threw it to Lei Tie. “It was buried in when cooking the rice, it should be cooked.”

Lei Tie juggled the sweet potato in two hands. After a while passed, he broke it into two parts and handed one to Qin Mian.

After dinner, Qin Mian took a bath first. Now it was cold, he dared not wash outside and could only wash it in the house. However, the ground was not cemented, or tiled, or compacted soil. It got wet as soon as water sprinkled on it and couldn’t dry up for half a day, which was really inconvenient.

“Sigh, there seems to be a lot of place to be remodeled.” Qin Mian soaked in the tub as he watered himself and looked out through the curtains. From here, he could see the lights in the village. There was only their house in the vicinity. It was too quiet, but he also wondered that although there were only two people in the house, even one of them didn’t like talking, he still didn’t feel lonely. On the contrary, the twinkling lights in the hall made him felt warm.

Sitting in the tub, he could even hear Lei Tie washing dishes in the kitchen, which made him involuntarily smile again.

There was no other entertainment in the evening, so Qin Mian went to bed after washing.

Lei Tie was taking a bath in the hall.

Qin Mian still had something to say and couldn’t help urging: “Come quickly.”

Lei Tie paused. The foot that stepped on the soaked ground nearly slipped, he grasped the edge of the barrel with quick with hands and sharp-sighted. He glanced at the open door and shook his head slightly, but his movement sped up.

Qin Mian craned his neck to look several times and Lei Tie finally came in with an oil lamp. Under the light, the side face of the little wife anxiously waiting looked hazy in moonlight, which made people soft at the knees.

He blew out the light after he climbed the bed.

Qin Mian came closer to him in the dark. “You should keep practicing martial arts. If you don’t practice for a long time, you’ll be out of practice. Otherwise, we’ll go to the mountain in the morning and you can practice properly. I’ll also widen my knowledge of your chivalrous demeanor, how about it?”

He heard a rustling noise and then an iron arm wound around from his back and held him. His body turned stiff. It was not the same thing to be held when he was awake and when he was asleep, alright? He struggled for a moment, but his waist was held tighter.

“Why do you want to practice martial arts?”

“Self-protection, build up a good physique and improve health.” He answered without hesitation.

The top of his head was gently stroked and the arms on his waist were slightly loose before a deep and steady voice sounded in his ear, “Sleep. Get up early tomorrow.”

Qin Mian had a feeling that Lei Tie would hold him tighter once he struggled, so he didn’t move, but he thought it was necessary to explain, “Actually, we don’t—”

Before he finished speaking, the hold on his waist tightened and even felt a little hurt. Qin Mian compromised and said: “Be gentle.” You want to hold then hold, but be careful of extermination after I got your handed-down techniques.

Because there was something in his mind, Qin Mian woke up very early and he looked at the window, it was dark outside. He sat up and pushed the sleeping man hard. “Get up, quickly get up.”

Lei Tie opened his eyes and put his hands under his head as he watched Qin Mian dress up speedily. His gaze slipped from Qin Mian’s sober eyes to the uplifted corner of his mouth. This high spirited and cheerful look was really a rare sight.

“You hurry up.” Qin Mian looked back and saw that the man was still lying lazily, he raised his voice and thrown his clothes at him.

Only then Lei Tie got up and dressed. The clothes on his body were a little untidy, showing a coppery chest.

Qin Mian looked away uneasily and ran away to wash.

After they had tidy up, with bow set and baskets on their backs, they marched up the mountain in the first rays of the morning sun.

The village was so quiet, no one got up earlier than them.

When they got to the mountain, they went deeper.

“Here is fine.” Qin Mian stopped, unable to hold himself back.

Lei Tie didn’t say anything and he put down his basket and bow set. When he stood straight as ramrod here, his momentum changed in a flash. If he was usually a silent tree, he was like a double-edged sword out of its sheath at this time. His fierce eyes, pursed lips and tense muscles all give off an aura of a destroyer.

Before Qin Mian could recover from the shock, he saw that Lei Tie had begun to demonstrate a set of fist techniques. He didn’t clearly see the change of the moves, but the rapid unpredictable moves and the intensity of tiger roaring wind[1] not only made him shocked, his heart pounded and even his blood was boiling.

After demonstrating a set of fist techniques, Lei Tie raised his head and upon coming into contact with a pair of sparkling eyes, there was a thin smile on the bottom of his eyes.
