Chapter 10
Lu Xiaobai ran very fast and was still panting when he got to the room. He smiled sweetly and was very cute. The village chief couldn't help but touch his head and said with a smile: "Run slower, the thing won't run away again."
Then, somewhat reluctantly, he placed the large package in Lu Xiaobai's hand and said, "Here, take good care of it. Remember to spend your money sparingly. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
"Thank you, village chief uncle."
Lu Xiaobai has been loved by his elders since he was a child. There are many elders in his family, and they give him pocket money and small gifts almost every day. So now he doesn’t think there is anything wrong with the village chief giving him things. Instead, he feels that he finally has something that belongs to him.
He reached out to take it happily, but he almost dropped it because it was too heavy. It was only when He Qin helped him lift it that he was able to hold it steady.
Seeing that the two were getting along quite well, the village chief smiled and nodded: "Don't blame uncle for forcing you two together. Whether it's Xiao He settling down or Xiao Bai getting married, there are reasons for it."
"Besides, Xiaobai is the most handsome boy in our village. He is a perfect match for you. You should love him more. He has no parents and is pitiful."
He Qin's face looked unhappy, but he did not refute anything. The village chief said a few more words to Lu Xiaobai to teach him how to manage the household well, and finally left under the cover of night.
After the village chief left, Lu Xiaobai looked at He Qin's hand holding his bag and smiled a little embarrassedly. Although he was also holding a corner of the bag, it seemed that He Qin was exerting force, while he was just touching...
But he didn't care. Instead, he grabbed He Qin's arm and said excitedly, "Hurry up, help me carry it into the house."
He Qin looked at him coldly. Seeing how excited he was, he said nothing and directly carried it into the house and put it on the table. Lu Xiaobai immediately pounced on it.
Zero One and the Others: ...
In this world, only sister-in-law dares to order the eldest brother around, and the eldest brother is not angry at all?
It turns out that men with wives are the most fickle.
Lu Xiaobai was a little disappointed after opening the bundle, because the so-called dowry was just a new set of clothes, a pair of new shoes, twenty kilograms of brown rice, and two small silver-white stones, which looked like silver, but he couldn't recognize them and didn't know how much they were.
He initially thought there might be something good, but this is it?
Lu Xiaobai was a little unhappy. He sat on the stool with a pout and lowered his head in a somewhat decadent manner.
But at that moment, he discovered that everything in the bag was good.
Because the shoes on his feet were almost worn out...
Lu Xiaobai also understood the village chief's kindness towards him. He looked up at the new pair of black cloth shoes, but he fell into deep thought: How poor is this place?
Could it be even poorer than the impoverished mountainous areas in the modern world?
What makes these things of ordinary or even poor quality become good things and treasures for the people here?
Not only can we not eat well, even the most ordinary rice is a luxury. The beds we sleep on are made of broken wood, which is hard and uncomfortable to lie on. The clothes we wear are also uncomfortable. Even going to the toilet has become a problem of the century.
When had Lu Xiaobai ever suffered such hardship?
Moreover, he didn't know how long this kind of day would last.
As he thought about it, his tears began to fall. He pouted his lips, and in order to keep from making any sound, he would occasionally open his mouth and secretly breathe in...
He Qin stood at the door, watching Lu Xiaobai's expression change from excitement to loss, from disgust to helplessness, and from helplessness to grievance. He sat there without saying a word, looking at his shoes, his little mouth opening and closing as he secretly wiped away tears.
At that moment, his heart suddenly softened.
