Chapter 39
The next day, Song Wei Ping saw that Xu Xiao Jiao was the same as usual, so he knew that she didn't remember.
Xu Xiao Jiao remembered that Song Wei Ping carried her back.
"Yesterday you drank a lot and were still able to carry me on your back. I fell asleep afterward. What should to do if you are tired from the journey?"
Song Wei Ping looked at her, "I wasn’t as drunk as you. Did we agree in advance that you aren’t allowed to drink alcohol?"
Xu Xiao Jiao sneered, "I couldn't hold it back! I couldn't hold it back! I won't do it next time."
Song Wei Ping knew that if she acted like she did last night again, he couldn't stop her. He won't say anything then, "Remember what you say."
Xu Xiao Jiao promised, "I will definitely remember."
Song Wei Ping changed the topic to other things.
"In the past few months, you've been tired too. The weather is getting hotter. Take a good rest at home."
That's exactly what Xu Xiao Jiao planned, "What about you?"
During this period of time, he was more tired than her. He was doing almost everything he could help. Although the two of them were very busy every day, she was only giving lectures and giving ideas. Almost every manual thing was done by him. doing.
"You take a break too. You've been working too hard for a while." Xu Xiao Jiao said.
Song Wei Ping nodded, "Okay, there's not much work in the field. Mom's health is getting better, so I'll take a rest too. But I'll continue selling pot stewed pork in the morning."
In the past three months, due to limited energy, they stopped the small business of selling pot stewed pork and roujiamo. Now that they were free, Song Wei Ping wanted to pick it up.
Xu Xiao Jiao didn't expect that he would still be willing to do it, "Then you'll change from a teacher to an alley peddler. Isn't there a difference?"
When he was a tutor, those female students blushed when they saw him. However if he continues to be a small vendor, they’ll hide their heads and tails again.
Song Wei Ping was very calm, "It's all the same."
Now that he had made up his mind, he naturally got into action immediately.
Because of the hot weather, the pot stewed pork couldn't be cooked the night before. The next morning, Xu Xiao Jiao was soundly asleep, while Song Wei Ping woke up.
In the dimness, Xu Xiao Jiao heard the sound of him getting up, reached out, and tugged at his clothes, "En, it's so early."
Seeing that her eyes weren’t completely open, Song Wei Ping smiled and patted her head, "Go to sleep."
Xu Xiao Jiao fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, Song Wei Ping was back.
After she washed up, the meal was ready.
Seeing her stretching herself, Wu Chun Hua smiled, "A lazy cat. If we rely on you to catch a morning meeting, then you haven't gone over yet even after the meeting finished."
Song Wei Ping would like Xu Xiao Jiao to rest more, "Mom, she is tired these days, let her rest more."
Wu Chun Hua handed the congee to Xu Xiao Jiao, “If she doesn't rest, what is there to do? The land is rented out. Can’t farm, even if we want to."
People of the older generation were obsessed with farming. She was no exception, "Like Mom said, the three parts of the back mountain should be kept. The land that Xiao Jiao grabbed is better. How many people are jealous? Mom can handle it by myself. But both of you insist on renting it out."
Xu Xiao Jiao took a sip of millet congee, "If we don't rent it out, what do we do? During spring sowing, you just had an operation and you want to farm the land. Mom, you healed the scar and forgot the pain. Isn’t the private land in the backyard enough for you to use? Besides, even when you aren’t farming, you aren’t idle. I see you are sewing soles into shoes every day. Don’t sew anymore, Isn’t it tiring? It isn't expensive to buy a pair.”
Mentioning this, Wu Chun Hua had more to say, "What not expensive? Look at the shoes that Wei Ping bought for you. One pair is twenty to thirty. I think you got spoiled. Wei Ping, don't buy her any more expensive shoes. Wear what Mom made."
Xu Xiao Jiao stuck out her tongue. This one pair she only wore at home, never when she goes out.
Xu Xiao Gang had the right to speak, "Mom, Elder Brother-in-law said, he and I wear the shoes you made. We are boys. Let you and Elder Sister wear the bought shoes. It looks better."
Xu Xiao Jiao was very relieved. At last her younger brother wasn't so ruler-straight guy. "My good younger brother, you happen to not have school today. Let your Elder Brother-in-law make stewed chicken and mushrooms for lunch."
Grandmother Song smilingly listened to the family chatter and nodded when she heard this, "Okay, Wei Ping, stew a chicken for us."
After being nagged by Wu Chun Hua, Xu Xiao Jiao decided to do some work, "Then let me light a fire for you, Song Wei Ping."
Song Wei Ping was reluctant to let her start the fire. However, she could sit on the side and talk with him.
Summer had arrived. Xu Xiao Jiao was sitting a little far from the stove, eating a large freshly cut watermelon that had been chilled in the well, and watched Song Wei Ping wearing an undershirt as he added firewood to the stove.
She got up, cut a long strip of watermelon, and handed it to Song Wei Ping, "Open your mouth."
Song Wei Ping looked back at her, opened his mouth and bit a moderately sized watermelon into his mouth.
"Is it sweet?" Xu Xiao Jiao asked him.
"En, you go over there to eat. It's hot here." Song Wei Ping said.
Xu Xiao Jiao was standing next to him while eating and fanning the two of them with a big cattail fan, "Song Wei Ping, I noticed that you have changed a lot."
Song Wei Ping was taken aback for a moment, "Where changed?"
Xu Xiao Jiao counted on her fingers, "A lot of places. I remember the first day I asked you to make lump soup at your house and you didn't want to respond at all. When using an egg and some flour, your heart would hurt. I was shocked when you put chopped scallions in the oil pan. You must have laughed at me, didn't you?"
Song Wei Ping wanted to laugh when he heard that, "Yes, amused about your squeamishness."
"What's wrong with being squeamish? I'm still like this. I’m a little celestial fairy. Delicate! You have an objection?"
Song Wei Ping got up, took off a black watermelon seed stuck to the corner of her mouth, and pinched her cheek while he was at it, "No objection."
"Hey, just talk. Don't get touchy." Xu Xiao Jiao knocked off his hand, "It's too casual."
Song Wei Ping raised his eyebrows, "Who was it who got drunk and can't get off my back. even touches me, it's too casual."
Xu Xiao Jiao rounded her eyes, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, if you don't carry me, who will carry me? You are my man."
It was his responsibility to protect his wife, okay?
Song Wei Ping's eyes darkened when he heard it, "Say it again?"
When he said this, he leaned a little closer. Xu Xiao Jiao shrank her neck subconsciously, "Wha, what?"
"Who is your man?"
Xu Xiao Jiao looked into his eyes, "You."
Song Wei Ping had a smile in his eyes, "Say it altogether."
"Why, why should I listen to you! Song Wei Ping, you bully!" Xu Xiao Jiao pushed Song Wei Ping, turned, and ran away.
She ran to the bedroom in a few steps, closed the door, leaned against the door, and covered her face with her hands. Her heart was beating fast.
Ahhh, Xu Xiao Jiao, something was wrong with you.
Why did she think Song Wei Ping was getting more and more handsome? It was enough that he looked good in a white shirt and glasses, but why did she think he looked good when he was standing in front of the stove in a sweater and holding firewood in his hand!
There was also Song Wei Ping, that dog man. Xu Xiao Jiao was fuming. Incapable, so why flirt!
Xu Xiao Jiao felt that it was necessary to talk to Song Wei Ping. But Song Wei Ping got busy before the talk started.
Li San Tie began to ask him to go out frequently. Sometimes he came back one day and went out the next day.
When he came back,, he would study whenever he was free. He had even bought a lot of books to read.
Since he was so occupied, Xu Xiao Jiao gave up her thoughts and let Song Wei Ping work away outside, while she leisurely escaped the summer heat at home.
As the weather got hotter every day, Xu Xiao Jiao's favorite place to go was a small river in the village.
The small river winds around the outskirts of the village and was very clear. There was a row of poplar trees planted by the river. She always liked to take Song Wei Ping to the river to enjoy the cool and escape from the summer heat when she had nothing to do.
After Song Wei Ping went out, she dragged Xu Xiao Gang along.
This day happened to be Saturday. After breakfast, Xu Xiao Jiao and Xu Xiao Gang went to the riverside. Xu Xiao Jiao was simply enjoying the coolness. Laying on a mat by the riverside, she held half a watermelon and ate it with a spoon as her feet stuck into the water and swung around.
Xu Xiao Gang was much more mischievous. He half-laid in the water, sometimes catching fish and sometimes catching crabs.
At the beginning, Xu Xiao Jiao was interested in crabs. Once Song Wei Ping caught a big one. She had been pinching and playing with it. When she accidentally got pinched, it was painful. She burst into tears at that time. Since then, she never wanted to see this thing again.
"Brat, if you scare me with crabs again, I'll get your Elder Brother-in-law beat you!" Xu Xiao Jiao threw a small stone toward Xu Xiao Gang to get him to go to one side.
Xu Xiao Gang would never get tired of scaring his elder sister. Once when the three of them came together, he even secretly caught a tortoise to scare her. It had made Xu Xiao Jiao scream and was taught a lesson by Song Wei Ping.
Hearing this, Xu Xiao Gang refused to submit, "Elder Sister, I found that you order Elder Brother-in-law around too smoothly. Now no matter what, you look for Elder Brother-in-law. What can you do by yourself?"
Xu Xiao Jiao took it for granted, "If I don’t look for your Elder Brother-in-law, who do I look for? Looking for you, a little brat."
Xu Xiao Gang puffed out his chest, "It's okay to find me. I’m a manly man. I will solve it for you thoroughly."
Che, Xu Xiao Jiao rolled her eyes, "Then hit yourself a few times."
Xu Xiao Gang laughed, threw away the crabs, and sat on the mat to eat watermelon. After a few mouthfuls, he couldn’t sit still, "Elder Sister, that thing Elder Brother-in-law brought back last time, cantaloupe, it’s so sweet. It’s so delicious .”
Xu Xiao Jiao looked at him, "What? The delicious food is all gone."
Xu Xiao Gang snorted, "You're lying. I've seen it. There's still one in your room."
"I won't give you any of them, because your Elder Brother-in-law told me to keep it for when I have cravings."
The last time Song Wei Ping went out, he brought back a few cantaloupe. Even if she had eaten countless fruits, she was still amazed.
That melon was sweet, crunchy, and sweet. Not too sickening sweet. Once she eats it, she can't stop.
Seeing that she loved to eat, Song Wei Ping took out a few for the whole family to eat together and reserved a few for her to eat when she wanted. After a few days, there was only one melon left.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xiao Gang saw it.
Xu Xiao Gang nodded his face, "Elder Sister, isn’t it embarrassing. You got cravings at this age."
"What embarrassing? When you are my age, won't you have cravings too?"
Xu Xiao Gang thought for a while, "Then I would too. Elder Sister, say, this time will Elder Brother-in-law bring us delicious food?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "Of course. He promised me."
Xu Xiao Gang rested his chin, "When will Elder Brother-in-law come back? I miss him."
Xu Xiao Jiao eyed him suspiciously, "You miss your Elder Brother-in-law? I think you miss the delicious food he brought back. You have thick skin."
"Why can't I miss? I miss Elder Brother-in-law. It can’t be that only you can miss him." Xu Xiao Gang was dissatisfied. He didn't only have eyes for eating.
Xu Xiao Jiao stammered, "Who, who missed him."
Xu Xiao Gang’s eyes widened, "You don't even miss Elder Brother-in-law? When he comes back, I'll tell him that. Elder Brother-in-law loves you in vain."
Xu Xiao Jiao kicked him away, "I'm too lazy to explain to you, brat."
"Hahaha, Elder Sister, we have learned new idioms recently. It's like your reaction. It's called becoming angry from embarrassment."
"Xu Xiao Gang, you brat. I think you want to turn the world upside down. I don't need Song Wei Ping and can still sort you out."
Xu Xiao Jiao got up and wanted to chase him.
As soon as she stood up, she saw someone calling her from a distance.
"Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao!"
Xu Xiao Jiao stopped. The man came over in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, Xiao Jiao, why are you playing here? Hurry home and have a look."
Xu Xiao Jiao felt a 'thump' in her heart.
"What's the matter, Auntie? Something happened at home?" She hurriedly put on her shoes, fearing that something might happen at home.
The auntie patted her thigh, "Oh, so many people have come to your house. All with big and small bags. I think there are more than 20 people!"
"I took a look from afar and heard that they said they wanted to find you. So without asking anything, I came over."
"Hey, Xiao Jiao, is it because you run remedial classes to swindle money? That’s why they came looking for you? Go back and have a look!"
Dang it! This cliffhanger! lol Thank you for the chapter!
