Chapter 4: Sharing the bed and touching hands



Of the three white flour buns on the table, one was given to Qiao Anle and the other to the youngest, Sanzi.

For the last one, Li Fengbei exerted force with his palm and broke it into two pieces.

Half was given to each of the eldest and third cubs.

The man said, "Sanzai is young, let him eat more."

The eldest child nodded and said, "I am the older brother and I should take care of my younger brother, Dad. I know."

Erzai, biting a white flour bun in his mouth, also nodded seriously.

Li Fengbei looked relieved, and his tough facial features relaxed a lot.

Qiao Anle was eating her white flour bun, but her eyes were always glued to Li Fengbei.

The men ate steamed bread, which was made of coarse grains mixed with corn. It became hard after a day and was difficult to bite.

He ate with big mouthfuls, and his eating manners were attractive.

Li Fengbei picked out the fish bones while eating and put the tender white fish meat into the small bowls of the three children.

The movements are careful and serious.

It is completely impossible to tell that he and these three kids are not biological father and son.

Li Fengbei took a bite of pickled vegetables, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Qiao Anle's absent-minded expression.

He asked in a low voice.

"Why don't you eat? Are the white flour buns not tasty? Just bear with it for a few days. After the summer harvest, you'll have a chance to go to the county town. Then you can exchange your meat coupons at home for meat at the cooperative—"

"No."

Qiao Anle shook his head and interrupted Li Fengbei.

Under the man's dark gaze, she spoke softly.

"How can white flour buns not taste good!"

The handmade steamed buns are made of fine wheat flour and steamed over a high fire in a clay stove. They are soft and fluffy.

When you take a bite, you can taste the fragrance of malt sugar.

These white flour steamed buns are much more delicious than the frozen steamed buns that Qiao Anle has in stock.

Qiao Anle nodded vigorously.

at the same time.

She also cut the steamed bun into two and put the larger half into Li Fengbei's bowl.

“You eat too!”

Li Fengbei's eyes once again became hesitant and confused because of Qiao Anle's actions. His deep black pupils reflected the pretty face of the person in front of him.

It's not just Li Fengbei.

Even the eldest and second cubs...

They all turned their heads in confusion and kept stealing glances at Qiao Anle.

Did this woman sleep like a fool?

Usually, when there were three white flour buns, she would eat two by herself and would not think of Li Fengbei at all.

After dinner, Li Fengbei was still the one who cleaned up the house inside and out.

He drew water, poured it into a wooden basin, and placed the full basin inside the house.

"You wash it."

A whisper was left.

Li Fengbei turned around and walked out, closing the door for Qiao Anle.

This was also the original owner's spoiled habit. He had to take a bath every day. If he didn't take a bath for one day, he would make a fuss.

Qiao Anle felt that there was nothing wrong with this habit, but she didn't expect that Li Fengbei would actually prepare the bath water for her himself.

She was taking a shower inside the house.

In the yard outside the house, Li Fengbei was giving his three little kids a bath.

The sound of water continued to flow, one after another, mixed with the giggling of the three little kids.

Qiao Anle took a shower and put on a set of light pink pajamas with small floral patterns from the chest of drawers.

She opened the door with her long hair tied up and her little face wet, and spoke to the man outside.

"I'm done."

When Li Fengbei turned around, he saw the fair-skinned beauty coming out of the bath. Her delicate skin on her slender neck was shiny white, with wet black hair sticking to it.

It makes people want to point their fingers...

The man's Adam's apple moved, and then he pressed it down hard.

He walked into the house in two or three steps, took the wooden basin out and poured water, without even glancing at Qiao Anle.

It only took a moment.

It was already completely dark.

In the small mountain village, only the village commune has electricity. Everywhere else is pitch black, and the night seems to swallow up the entire forest.

The only light was a kerosene lamp in the house.

The wick swayed, emitting a dim light, so they could only vaguely see each other.

The entire Li family only has one room and one bed, which is not enough to sleep five people.

Li Fengbei used benches and wooden boards to build a temporary bed, and covered it with a thin quilt and a mat, and it became a small bed.

His arm strength was amazing, and he carried the three little cubs in one breath.

After taking a bath, the three kids were naked in just a pair of open-crotch pants.

After the three of them rolled onto the mat, they started laughing and making a lot of noise.

If there are many children at home, there will be no peace.

Qiao Anle grew up in an orphanage and has long been accustomed to this kind of atmosphere. Not only does she not find it noisy, she even feels a sense of familiarity.

The third child grinned at her.

A steamed bun in the afternoon completely won over this little foodie.

The second child looked at her from time to time, and when he was discovered, he quickly turned his head away.

The eldest boy pulled the small blanket over him, as if he didn't want to admit that he was wearing open-crotch pants.

Qiao Anle watched with great interest and waited for Li Fengbei to go to bed.

but……

What happened next was beyond her expectations.

After Li Fengbei had tidied everything, he went into the house, bolted the door, and bent over to blow out the kerosene lamp.

There was no light in the house, only a faint moonlight coming in from the window.

Qiao Anle adapted to the darkness and stared at the tall figure. After approaching the bed, he turned towards the small beds of the three kids, as if he was going to sleep.
