Xu Qian glared at him angrily and asked, "Do you dislike me? Do you dislike me for being lazy?"
"?" A question mark flashed through Cheng Jiawen's mind. 'It's not the first day he knows that his wife is lazy. If he really thinks she is lazy, he wouldn't marry her.'
Thinking this way, he did not hesitate to start stroking her hair. He reached out and rubbed her head, saying gently, "Why not? It's okay to be lazy. I don't mind."
When Xu Qianjiao heard this, her eyes widened and she asked angrily, "Do you still want to dislike me?"
"Hehe, how dare I? I don't dare, I don't dare." Cheng Jiawen said repeatedly.
"Hmph." Xu Qian snorted proudly, "Let you go."
Seeing that the matter was finally over, Cheng Jiawen breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Okay, okay, come over and have dinner. After dinner, Jiawen can take a nap. We will continue in the afternoon." Mother Xu said as she carried the dishes into the house.
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao quickly sat on the kang. Xu's father also washed up and sat on the kang to eat.
As they ate and chatted, Father Xu kept excitedly talking about the progress of the house.
Xu Qianjiao and Xu's mother looked at each other and saw the helplessness with hidden smiles in each other's eyes, and then they began to praise each other, giving Xu's father enough emotional value.
Mr. Xu was very satisfied with the praise and took the initiative to wash the dishes after dinner.

Xu Qianjiao sat on the kang and started knitting again. Mother Xu walked towards Xu Qianjiao with a basket and said, "Jiaojiao, we're going to buy some cabbage later. Do you want to come?"
"Chinese cabbage?" Xu Qianjiao looked up curiously. "Does it take so many people to buy Chinese cabbage?"
It’s no wonder that Xu Qianjiao didn’t understand. She lived in the south in modern times and had no habit of storing food.
Moreover, as a young lady, even though she is from the north, she doesn't need to worry about food, so this issue really touches on her blind spot in knowledge.
Xu's mother nodded. "What? We buy cabbages by the truckload. How can I carry them without more people?"
'? Could this be the legendary Tuncai? Then I must go check it out, just to join in the fun.'
"Okay, I'll go too." Xu Qianjiao put down the wool, stood up and put on her shoes, ready to follow Xu's mother.
She would be bored staying at home anyway, so she might as well go shopping with Xu's mother. Maybe she would find something fun there.
----------------------------------------------------
"Xu Laoer's family, are you ready? Get ready to go~" Xu Qianjiao and her mother had just put on their clothes when their aunt at the door came to call them.
The two hurried out, "Here I come~"
Aunt Zhou saw Xu Qianjiao and asked with a smile, "Jiaojiao is going too?"
"Yes, yes, hello, Aunt Zhou." Xu Qian nodded sweetly and greeted her with a smile.
"Well, let's go. Lan Fang is waiting up ahead." Aunt Zhou pointed in the direction of the village entrance and called on everyone to go forward.
Mother Xu closed the door herself and set off hand in hand with Aunt Zhou.
A few people were walking and chatting. Xu Qianjiao was listening beside them with her eyes widened. She didn't expect there would be such big gossip in the village.
Seeing Xu Qianjiao like this, Aunt Zhou and the others became more excited. They usually didn't react like this when they shared gossip with others.
It's no wonder. Everyone here knows about the little thing in the village, so there's no surprise.
Xu Qianjiao is different. Not only does she know nothing about it, but her facial expressions are very rich and she will even add some questions to make you very interested in continuing to talk.
This emotional value is sufficient.
Suddenly, Aunt Zhou quietly pulled Xu's mother over and whispered in her ear in what she thought was a quiet voice, "Hey, did you hear about that incident with Mr. Xu's daughter?"
"The eldest daughter, Xu Qianrou? What happened to her? What happened?" Mother Xu looked at Aunt Zhou with confusion.
Aunt Zhou saw that she was confused, but her expression didn't seem fake. She stammered, "Uh, you... uh... it's nothing."
Aunt Zhou's hesitant look aroused everyone's curiosity, including Xu Qianjiao, who secretly pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what explosive news it was.
Aunt Zhou was instantly satisfied when she saw that everyone's curiosity was aroused, but she still said in a pretentious tone, "Oh, I don't know whether this news is true or not. It's hard to say."
Everyone rolled their eyes at her, watching her clearly want to say something but still pretending to be serious, and secretly complained in their hearts: Bah, those previous messages she said seemed to have real evidence, that's not just guessing.
But everyone still tried to satisfy her desire, saying excitedly, "Tell us quickly, tell us quickly, we'll just listen to it ourselves, and we won't tell anyone else about it."
Xu Qianjiao looked at the gossiping faces of the group of aunts with suspicion and felt ashamed silently. They really would not tell others about it on purpose, but would occasionally "let it slip" and then discuss and share it.
Aunt Zhou pretended to be mysterious and looked around deliberately. When she saw that there was no one around, she gestured for everyone to come over. Seeing how mysterious she was, everyone became even more curious.
"I heard that Xu Qianrou is going to marry the educated youth Song Ziming." Aunt Zhou said mysteriously.
"Qiu~" When everyone heard that this was what she called explosive news, they rolled their eyes and then dispersed.
Aunt Zhou quickly waved and called back to the crowd: "Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished yet, I haven't even gotten to the point yet."
After being interrupted by her, everyone lost interest. "Hey, hey, hey, get to the point. Stop talking nonsense."
"Okay, okay, I got it." Aunt Zhou nodded, then continued, "Do you know why they got married so suddenly?"
"Didn't Xu Qianrou always chase after Song Zhiqing? Isn't it normal for them to get married now?"
Aunt Zhou pretended to be mysterious and shook her head: "I heard that they originally planned to get married after the autumn harvest. They are getting married now because..."
"Why?" Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou was pleased to see that everyone's curiosity had been successfully aroused. After a moment's delay, she slowly said, "Because...Xu Qianrou is pregnant."
