Chapter 54 Who is important?
Song Wei Ping raised his eyes, saw her coquettish look, reached out and flicked her cheek, "What do you think?"
Xu Xiao Jiao slapped his hand, "How would I know? Maybe in your heart, the pot stewed pork shop is more important than me. That pot stewed pork can make money and can be eaten to take care of your appetite, while I don't have that much of a role."
Song Wei Ping put down the book and looked at her meaningfully, "You can also make money and be eaten."
"Hey, Song Wei Ping, I'm talking to you about business, and you're teasing me." Xu Xiao Jiao leaned back and raised her body and complained about him.
Ever since Xu Xiao Jiao and Song Wei Ping talked it through with each other that day, the atmosphere between the two had always become inexplicably heated. Xu Xiao Jiao had a feeling that one sentence from Song Wei Ping can sometimes make her shy.
Song Wei Ping didn't admit that he liked to tease her. Seeing her angry look, he raised his hand to his lips and coughed lightly, "Okay, in my heart, of course you are the most important. What's wrong?"
Xu Xiao Jiao counted on her fingers, "Since you came back, apart from accompanying me once to see the flowers on the mountain in Meilin Village and catching fish in the river a few times, you have never played with me again. Every day you just go to the shop and sell meat. From what I see, your whole body is soaked with the smell of pot stewed pork."
Song Wei Ping raised his eyebrows, "You smell it?"
Xu Xiao Jiao was just using a metaphor. He loves to be clean. Every afternoon after closing the store, the first thing he did was take a shower and change clothes. This way, he always has the faint scent of soap on his body. But Xu Xiao Jiao won't say that, "No need to smell it. You’ll know just by the thought of it."
Song Wei Ping stretched out his hand, "Come here, hug me to smell."
Seeing him open his hands and waiting for her to pounce on him, Xu Xiao Jiao's heart was pounding. However, her face expressed disdain, "Who wants to sniff you? Anyway, I have to go out to play tomorrow. I want to go shopping in the county town. Aren’t you earning so much money for me to spend it? I want to buy a bag and clothes."
Song Wei Ping didn't put down his hands, "Hug and I'll buy you whatever you want."
There was a smile on his face. It was an expression that had never been seen before. Xu Xiao Jiao suddenly thought of what Liu Chun Yan had said. In front of others, he would always have that expressionless face and a look of being inaccessible to others. In the past, he was like that when they first got married.
Don’t know when he started to give her all his tenderness and smile.
This man was truly good.
Seeing that Song Wei Ping was about to put down his hands, Xu Xiao Jiao stretched her arms forward to hug his neck, "Song Wei Ping, I'm hugging you. Will you buy it for me?"
She threw herself on his chest. Her voice muffled in his embrace, hitting straight into the heart.
Song Wei Ping closed his arms to hug her, lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, "Why are you so obedient this time?"
Xu Xiao Jiao nuzzled into his arms and said, "Always good."
When she behaved obedient, she was like a kitten, making people couldn't resist teasing her. Song Wei Ping's lips curved up, "Then, give me a peck and I’ll buy it for you."
Xu Xiao Jiao immediately raised her head, snorted softly, and pinched him gently with the hand holding his neck, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, don't go for a foot after gaining an inch."
"Then let me kiss you." Song Wei Ping met her eyes.
"No." Xu Xiao Jiao's eyes dodge.
Her shy look was so alluring. Song Wei Ping's Adam's apple moved slightly. His hand gently pressed on the back of her head. He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the tip of her nose.
Xu Xiao Jiao watched as he closed his eyes and leaned over. Then she felt a warm and dry feeling at the corner of her mouth.
Song Wei Ping opened his eyes and looked at her dumbfounded look. The mirth in his eyes was immense and he said in a low voice, "Got to kiss. If you don't want to, you can kiss back."
"Song Wei Ping, you're committing a foul!" Xu Xiao Jiao pushed Song Wei Ping's enlarged face which was right in front of her eyes and crawled into her bed.
Song Wei Ping chuckled softly and reached out to poke the bulge in the quilt, "What is this place?"
Xu Xiao Jiao kicked her feet. Her voice came from under the quilt, "Song Wei Ping, you big baddie, go away."
**
Wu Chun Hua was very satisfied with her daughter's progress. Just two days after she finished speaking, the young couple was going to go shopping in the county. Now that the family was rich, she didn't care how much her daughter spent, but the young couple was going to go to the county. There was still another thing on her mind.
This morning, before Xu Xiao Jiao got up, Song Wei Ping was making breakfast in the kitchen. Wu Chun Hua was dragging it around before she finally made up her mind and decided to talk to Song Wei Ping.
"Wei Ping, cough, Mom wants to say a few words to you."
Seeing her looking like she wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it, Song Wei Ping suddenly had a lot of random thoughts come to mind, "Mom, just say whatever you want. A son-in-law is considered half a son. So if you have anything to say, you can tell me."
Wu Chun Hua smiled and said, "Mom knows that well you treat Xiao Jiao, you are filial to me, and you treat Xiao Gang like a younger brother. Mom is very happy."
Song Wei Ping listened carefully, knowing that what she said next was the key point.
"It’s just… Look, you have been married for two-three years and you don't have any children. Mom is worried. Even if G|randmother doesn't say it, she must be looking forward to her great-grandchild. Don't you think so?"
Song Wei Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, why was the baby matter brought up again?
Wu Chun Hua didn't notice Song Wei Ping's subtle expression. Once the first sentence was out, and the rest was easy, "Because of this, Mom and Xiao Jiao have talked about it several times. You also know her temper. Even ten cows can't get her back once she’s set on something. Every time she drags it around and doesn't give any concrete words. So Mom will just tell you."
She said earnestly, "Once you have a child, you will have someone to rely on in the future. Besides, don't you want a chubby baby? Mom wants one! Aren't you two going to the county this time? I think Xiao Jiao is now willing to listen to you. Just talk to her and go to the big hospital in the county for a checkup. If you or Xiao Jiao have any problem, they can treat it. Now we have a lot of money, right? If there’s no problem, we can rest assured. Then we’ll listen to Grandmother. Having children depends on fate. We’ll just wait slowly.”
Seeing that Song Wei had no expression on his face, Wu Chun Hua was worried that he was overthinking it and quickly added a few words, "Don't worry, even if there is something wrong, we aren’t afraid. No matter what, we are all one family."
Song Wei Ping was just surprised as to why Xu Xiao Jiao never told Wu Chun Hua the explanation he gave. Don’t know how she prevaricated every time Wu Chun Hua sought her for this matter.
Song Wei Ping replied warmly, "Mom, there's no need to go to the hospital for a check-up. The reason we don't have children is because I..."
The words "I'm sick, I’m incapable" were stuffed back into his mouth by Xu Xiao Jiao.
"Song Wei Ping, shut up, I'll tell Mom." Xu Xiao Jiao pinched his arm hard to signal him to stop talking and then pulled Wu Chun Hua away.
She dragged Wu Chun Hua into the main room, sat on the sofa and complained, "Mom, what are you and Song Wei Ping talking about? It's so embarrassing."
Wu Chun Hua's intention was very obvious, just to check whether Song Wei Ping was sick.
Wu Chun Hua smiled and patted Xu Xiao Jiao's hand, "Mom was quite embarrassed at first, but what's the point? Wei Ping has already said it. A son-in-law is considered half a son. Since he doesn't treat me as an outsider, my mouth can open."
Xu Xiao Jiao recalled the explanation Song Wei Ping gave when she had said she didn't want children. Song Wei Ping told her to simply say that he was sick and couldn’t have children.
But she never said anything.
Since she didn’t say it before, she didn’t want to say it now.
"Mom, I understand what you said. Don't worry. Regarding the child, we have never wanted it before. Now we are starting to plan on one. Didn't I say that we would wait until we have money to have a child? Now the conditions are barely passable, we are ready to have one. If we still don’t have one in a year or a half, we’ll check it this time. I promise to do a checkup.”
This was the first time that Xu Xiao Jiao gave Wu Chun Hua a clear period of time. Although she said a year and a half, Wu Chun Hua felt that it was too long. But her daughter finally loosened up, so she didn't want to push too hard, "That's fine. Then half a year. If you don’t have any movement in half a year, listen to me, go check it out quickly.”
Xu Xiao Jiao nodded obediently, "I understand."
On the bus to the county city, Xu Xiao Jiao leaned against Song Wei Ping. The two of them whispered softly.
"If I didn't stop you, were you going to tell Mom that you are sick?"
Song Wei Ping turned to look at her. She had an indignant look on her face, "It was agreed long ago. Why didn't you tell Mom? She must have sought you a lot in private."
Xu Xiao Jiao reached out and poked him, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, you are not allowed to tell others that you are sick in the future. You can't make such remarks. Remember?"
There was no one in front of or behind them and their voices were low. Song Wei Ping scratched his nose and said, "Don't you always think I'm incapable?"
Xu Xiao Jiao snorted. Even now, she still thought he was incapable, but she can't mention it. Those neighbors were the best at asking about the affairs of the family of the east and west. If the gossip about Song Wei Ping being unable to birth spreads, just the saliva alone can drown someone. Then what kind of dignity would Song Wei Ping have?
Anyway, she wanted him to be a good-looking and capable man in other people's impressions.
Xu Xiao Jiao ignored his words, "At Mom’s side, I found a reason. Anyway, you are not allowed to say anything nonsense in the future."
Song Wei Ping noticed her intention to protect him and his heart warmed, "Okay, I understand. I will listen to you."
"That's more like it." Xu Xiao Jiao was satisfied.
After solving this matter, Xu Xiao Jiao had nothing to worry about and began to enjoy the fun of Song Wei Ping taking her shopping.
The county had really changed a lot.
When she came to town before, the only places she could visit were state-owned cooperatives, state-owned shopping malls, and movie theaters. Apart from a few government-owned stores, there was nothing else.
But this time the county was much more prosperous.
On the busiest street, buildings were getting built before the year end. Now they had been completed. A department store had been opened. It could be said that everything was available in it and was very lively with people coming and going.
The whole street was lined with stalls set up by small merchants and hawkers on both sides. They were full of dazzling things. Quite an amount of things were sold. It was said that it was even more lively in the evening.
The two planned to stay in the county for one night, visit the night market, watch a movie, and then go back the next day.
During the day, she visited the department store, ate at a newly opened restaurant, and went to the guest house to rest for an afternoon. Once Xu Xiao Jiao came back to life with full blood and when the lights came on, she pulled Song Wei Ping out.
"It's really different from before. There are so many snacks." Xu Xiao Jiao was endlessly surprised. It was indeed more lively in the evening than during the day.
The street stall economy had burst out with great vitality from the very beginning. Although it was a small operation, there was fear of losing sales as long as it was of high quality and low price. Xu Xiao Jiao had already seen the most common snacks such as skewered meat, rolled crepe, candied haws, fried chicken tenders and so on.
Although she didn’t eat much of them in her previous life, she still felt a sense of familiarity when she saw it. She really wanted to try it in this life.
Xu Xiao Jiao took off the camera hanging around her neck and said, "Song Wei Ping, I’ll take some photos of the night scene first. After a while, you can take photos for me."
Song Wei Ping naturally went along with her.
Although there were no lively clubs and pubs in the distance, a small street with glowing lights in the vast darkness had its own unique flavor.
Xu Xiao Jiao looked at Song Wei Ping and suddenly had an idea, "Song Wei Ping, just stand here and don't move. I'll take a photo of you. Then I'll find someone to take it for the two of us."
She walked away with the camera, chose a good angle, and faced Song Wei Ping, "Look at me here. Have to smile~"
Focused, Xu Xiao Jiao looked at Song Wei Ping through the camera. She felt that under the night, he looked handsome and gentle. There was a special aura.
After taking a picture, she was just about to raise her head to ask Song Wei Ping to change his position, when she saw his expression suddenly change through the camera.
Then Xu Xiao Jiao felt the camera in her hand fall away uncontrollably. When she came to her senses, there was no camera in her hand.
Afterward, Xu Xiao Jiao caught on that her camera had been stolen in public!
Song Wei Ping ran over in a few steps, "Is your hand injured?"
When taking pictures, she wrapped the tape around her hands.
Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, looked back, and saw a man riding a bicycle and running away with a camera strap in his hand.
Song Wei Ping glanced at her and stated, "Wait."
Song Wei Ping raised his eyes, saw her coquettish look, reached out and flicked her cheek, "What do you think?"
Xu Xiao Jiao slapped his hand, "How would I know? Maybe in your heart, the pot stewed pork shop is more important than me. That pot stewed pork can make money and can be eaten to take care of your appetite, while I don't have that much of a role."
