Yang Ming held his wife in his arms, indeed spending the whole night without sleep, and got up early the next day before his wife awoke.
When Xiaoxiao woke up, she heard sounds from the outer room and knew Yang Ming hadn't left yet. She got up and put on her clothes, but as soon as she did, she felt a pain in her neck. She pressed it with her hand, quite puzzled. How on earth had she slept the night before that she had managed to give herself a stiff neck?
Looking at Yang Ming who entered the room, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept at all. Nonetheless, he seemed to be in a good mood. He was probably eager to leave.
After holding his wife all night, how could Yang Ming be in a bad mood? After entering the room, he said, "Xiaoxiao, I helped you bring in the firewood and filled the water jar. When you've used them up, ask your fourth brother to help you; don't do it by yourself."
