Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao's hands that were grinding peanuts trembled and her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

Before she raised her head, she felt that familiar and burning gaze looking at her.

"Jiaojiao, the old Qin you've been thinking about is back."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Fang Xuetong touched her arm with her elbow and smiled ambiguously.

Her voice wasn't very loud, but the people around her had sharp ears, and for a moment, they all cast teasing looks at her.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...

Facing everyone's gossiping gazes, Xu Jiaojiao was so stage-frightened that she couldn't help but feel her face getting a little hot.

Seeing that she had given birth to two children and still looked shy, the military wives teased her even more enthusiastically.

Even though Xu Jiaojiao was usually thick-skinned, she couldn't stand it anymore.

She responded with her mouth, but she didn't dare to raise her head.

Even without looking up, she could still hear the familiar footsteps coming towards her.

Xu Jiaojiao's heart also started beating "boom," "boom," "boom."

The closer she got, the more she felt like she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

Just like what the military wives said, they are obviously an old couple and even have two children.

But Xu Jiaojiao still couldn't control her heart that was about to jump out.

The open space was still bustling with activity.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Qin Shuo and then at Xu Jiaojiao.

Even though they were so far away from each other, everyone felt as if they were disturbing them.

As the footsteps got closer, Xu Jiaojiao's hand holding the grinding rod became somewhat out of control.

But when the footsteps were five or six steps away from him, suddenly, Zhao Kai's excited voice came from the other side.

"Lao Qin, you're back just in time. Come, come and make some glutinous rice cakes."

Fang Xuetong: ...

I couldn't help but look up and glare at that stupid straight guy in my family!

But the other person didn't see it at all and just pulled Qin Shuo away.

"Idiot!" Fang Xuetong couldn't help but curse with a smile.

When the people nearby saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, they went back to their own business.

Only then did Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But he couldn't control his eyes and looked quietly in the direction of the glutinous rice cake making.

Who knew that as soon as I raised my head, I would meet those scorching eyes!

Even though they were so far away, it seemed as if it could burn her.

At just one glance, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't bear it and her face turned red again.

Fortunately, he just took a glance, then looked away and concentrated on making the glutinous rice cake.

Xu Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief again.

I couldn't help but curse myself in my heart, so useless!

"Mom~eat!"

The little baby Qin Zhi came running back again, holding a piece of malt sugar in his hand, which he got from nowhere.

Maybe he had chewed it before, there were small teeth marks on the maltose.

He took the maltose and stuffed it into her mouth like a baby offering a treasure.

"It's so sweet. Thank you, Xiaozhi. Mom has eaten it. You can eat it yourself."

Xu Jiaojiao just pretended to take a bite and pushed it back to the little guy.

The baby gave her a sweet smile.

After a while, another little one came over.

In the little hand, there is a wild flower.

When he walked up to her, he handed the wild flowers to her and a smile exactly the same as Xiao Qinzhi's appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Xiao Xiu, the flowers are so beautiful!"

Xu Jiaojiao took the flowers from the baby's hand, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Fang Xuetong and Lu Dani next to them were extremely envious.

"Jiaojiao, how did you give birth to a baby? You are so considerate!"

Not only is she considerate, she's also so pretty!

It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others!

Her son is just like her father, both are very stupid.

Do you want him to give you flowers and food? It’s better to dream!

“It’s mainly because I have good genes.”

Xu Jiaojiao said this shamelessly, and sure enough, it caused a burst of laughter and scolding from the two people.

"In my opinion, Lao Qin's contribution is greater."

Fang Xuetong is indeed a good friend, and she is ruthless when attacking others.

But Xu Jiaojiao was not only not discouraged, but also nodded in approval.

This caused the two of them to burst into strange laughter again.

Fortunately, the sound was not loud and was drowned out by the noisy conversation.

But Xu Jiaojiao clearly felt that the gaze fell on her from time to time.

Knowing that he had extraordinary hearing ability, she didn't dare to say anything that would make her socially unfit.

He just wiped his coconut paste obediently.

"This was sent by Qin Shuohai's comrades. It's delicious when used as stuffing. You can all take some back and try it."

As a token of reciprocity, Xu Jiaojiao shared the coconut flakes she was rubbing with them.

Logistics were not as developed in those days as they are in later times, and many places had never even eaten this thing.

Therefore, the two of them did not refuse the coconut she gave them.

I plan to take it home and try it.

Xu Jiaojiao quickly prepared the things she brought.

Meanwhile, people were still making glutinous rice cakes over there.

The finer the glutinous rice cake is, the better it tastes.

Xu Jiaojiao, who had nothing to do, followed the two of them and went forward to watch them make glutinous rice cakes.

Several men gathered around the stone mortar, raised the wooden hammers in their hands, and beat the glutinous rice cake one after another.

The position where Xu Jiaojiao was standing was right across from her man.

I saw that his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong and sturdy arms.

As he pounded, the smooth muscles swelled slightly.

The wooden hammer that was stuck to the glutinous rice cake fell into his hands and was lifted up easily.

The strong masculine charm of a man is so attractive that it is hard to take your eyes off him.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Xu Jiaojiao's gaze remained on him without any concealment.

"Snap", "Snap", "Snap"

The wooden hammer fell on the glutinous rice cake again and again.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Jiaojiao felt that the man opposite her was fighting quite hard.

…

Thanks to the efforts of all the men, the glutinous rice cake was finally made.

Xu Jiaojiao hurriedly found her own wooden barrel.

But as soon as he got close, the barrel was taken away by someone.

From one step away, she could smell the man's refreshing breath, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Two little babies came over at some point.

She pulled her trouser legs on the left and right, raised her head high, and looked at the tall man curiously.

As if trying to identify something.

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao picked up little Qin Xiu, she heard little Qin Zhi giggling.

When I turned around, I saw the baby being held high up by Qin Shuo.

"Dad~"

The baby who was lifted up shouted "Daddy" to Qin Shuo.

Qin Shuo was so upset by her calls.

Little Qin Xiu, who was in Xu Jiaojiao's arms, was filled with envy when he saw his brother being lifted up high.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, his old mother felt distressed.

Just when she was about to tell her man not to lose sight of the big picture, she saw him turn around.

"Xiao Xiu, come here, let daddy hold you."

As he spoke, he extended his hand towards Xiao Qin Xiu.

Finally being hugged by his own father, the baby's face immediately turned from cloudy to bright.

Looking at the man holding two babies on his left and right, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile.

"Jiaojiao, we are going back."

Suddenly, Fang Xuetong's voice came from behind.

"Okay." Xu Jiaojiao responded, and then turned to the man and said, "Let's go home first?"

"good."

As Qin Shuo spoke, his eyes became somewhat dim.

Xu Jiaojiao: ...
