Chapter 107
"He Yi? He Huaijin?"
Hearing that his child had a name, Lu Xiaobai finally stopped making a fuss. He pouted and repeated the two names before saying, "Why, why do they sound a bit literary..."
He Qin: ...
Lu Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "But it's okay. Just call it whatever you want."
Anyway, he is poor at Chinese and doesn't understand a lot of literary things. He can't come up with a good name, so let He Qin decide.
Lu Xiaobai was satisfied, and He Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then said, "Then, can big brother choose his calligraphy from now on?"
"Character?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded blankly: "You have words here too!"
He remembered that all the famous people in Chinese history had courtesy names, which were different from their given names.
Unexpectedly, He Qin also had it here. He asked curiously, "What's your name?"
His handwriting?
He Qin shook his head and refused to tell Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai grabbed his clothes in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by shaking your head? Don't you have a name? Your father doesn't like you and didn't give you one?"
He Qin glanced at him helplessly before saying, "I don't have any words. It's time to eat. Let's go eat."
After He Qin finished speaking, he pulled Lu Xiaobai to eat.
But Lu Xiaobai pouted and said, "How can it be that fast? We just came out a while ago, maybe Brother Ling Si hasn't even boiled the water yet!"
It was getting dark and the nights were getting cooler, especially when sitting in the yard. There was a breeze blowing from time to time. Although it was not as comfortable as modern air conditioning, it was still a pleasure.
So, Lu Xiaobai wanted to sit in the yard for a while.
But He Qin insisted on pulling him into the kitchen, but when they entered, they found that Ling Si was not cooking.
It’s not that they didn’t cook, but they didn’t cook in the pot they had just used to light the fire.
Stoves like those in the countryside usually have two large iron pots and two stoves.
But they usually cook in the pot on the side, which is the pot that He Qin and Lu Xiaobai used to light the fire just now. The pot inside is usually used to store leftovers.
But now, Ling Si took out all the food and placed it on the chopping board on the side. After washing it, he added water and then sat in front of the stove to light a fire.
He Qin understood what had happened as soon as he entered the room, and sat down at the table with a bad look on his face.
But Lu Xiaobai didn't understand why the pot was suddenly changed, and asked curiously: "Brother Ling Si, why don't you cook in the pot next to you?"
Didn’t he just light the fire?
Now you can cook directly without making a fire, so why bother to cook in that pot?
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's bewildered expression, Ling Si raised his head helplessly and said, "It leaked."
Lu Xiaobai: “???”
It’s leaking, what’s leaking?
Could it be that pot?
Lu Xiaobai quickly ran to the stove and opened the lid of the pot. Sure enough, he saw a small crack at the bottom of the iron pot...
Lu Xiaobai: ...
Lu Xiaobai smiled awkwardly, then covered the pot and ran to He Qin like the wind and asked, "He Qin, the pot, it seems like we burned it!"
He Qin: ...
He guessed it.
He Qin touched his forehead helplessly and said, "I'll buy it tomorrow."
"Go buy it tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai was instantly overjoyed. To buy a pot, doesn't that mean going to town?
Lu Xiaobai hadn't been to town for a long time. He happily hugged He Qin's arm and said, "I want to go too!"
He Qin looked down at Lu Xiaobai's stomach and asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"
“It’s not uncomfortable!”
Lu Xiaobai shook his head. He was in good health and couldn't be feeling unwell. Besides, they had been traveling all the way in an ox cart. No, no, no, they had a horse carriage!
After they came back from the Imperial City last time, they had several horses and a carriage.
After returning home, Lingyi sent the horse and carriage to the villagers, and paid them some money to help take care of them.
When you need it, bring it back.
However, although the carriage is fast, he is carriage-sick!
Finally, Lu Xiaobai gritted his teeth, grabbed He Qin's hand and shook it, blinking and saying, "He Qin, I don't feel uncomfortable riding in an ox cart."
Look, look, he was the young master of the Lu family, used to be picked up and dropped off by various luxury cars when he went out, and was as pampered as a child of destiny, but now, he has fallen to the point of riding in an ox cart...
As Lu Xiaobai thought about it, he could no longer pretend to be obedient, and his little mouth pouted involuntarily.
Seeing Lu Xiaobai's coquettish look, He Qin couldn't help but smiled and said, "Well, then let's go by ox cart."
Lu Xiaobai quickly took out the plum he hadn't finished eating, handed it to He Qin and said, "He Qin, you're so nice. Come, eat the plum."
He Qin shook his head, indicating no.
Unpalatable!
Lu Xiaobai was in a good mood and was not angry even though he thought He Qin was disliked him.
Instead, he stuffed the plum back into his mouth, his little mouth bulging, and said while eating: "Then you have to give me money, I want to buy a lot of things tomorrow, I want to eat sesame cakes, I want to eat candied haws, I want to eat fried peanuts, and fried broad beans..."
He Qin: ...
Zero Four: ...
How should they tell Lu Xiaobai that the entire Nanhe is short of flour now, so there are no steamed buns or steamed buns for sale, no sesame cakes for sale, and no noodles at all.
He was lucky enough to eat a bowl of noodles today. They were all grown by He Chong and Qian Ce last year. They had not been willing to eat them since the harvest. Anyway, his elder brother and sister-in-law were two grown men, and they only cared about eating rough food as long as they were not hungry. They did not care whether it was noodles or not.
As for peanuts and broad beans, these resources may be very limited, and I don’t know if they can be bought.
There may not be any candied haws either, because hawthorns usually ripen in October. Even if someone picked them last year, there would be some if they were properly protected, but they are probably gone now.
So, tomorrow when Lu Xiaobai goes out, he will probably buy something lonely...
But Lu Xiaobai knew nothing about this. He was as happy as a child. He kept holding He Qin's hand and telling him what he wanted.
He Qin couldn't bear to break his beautiful fantasy.
Ling Si cooked very quickly, much more efficiently than Lu Xiaobai. He had prepared meals for six people in less than half an hour. When the meal was served on the table, he suppressed a smile and coughed as he said, "Master, it's time to eat."
Lu Xiaobai took the bowl embarrassedly. It still contained half a bowl of white rice, but this time it was mixed with half a bowl of brown rice.
As Lu Xiaobai became more pregnant, her appetite increased. The little bit of white rice was not enough for her. She was never full, so she could only try eating brown rice.
Although someone would hunt wild game in the mountains and make soup for him every now and then, he would feel greasy after eating it for a long time and couldn't eat it.
Today was the same. Lu Xiaobai ate the entire bowl of rice and half a bowl of wild vegetables before putting down his chopsticks and saying, "I'm going to go wash up first."
He has to go out tomorrow and there will definitely be a lot of people on the street, so he needs to wash his hair thoroughly.
The weather has been very hot these days, so he has to take a shower and wash his hair every day, otherwise his head will itch. But yesterday he felt a little lazy after something happened and didn't wash it, but he can't do that today.
Lu Xiaobai just ran to the well with the wooden basin. There was water in the bucket beside the well, so he just picked it up and poured it into his basin.
It's hot anyway, so there's no need to boil water.
However, just as he poured the water into the basin, He Qin grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you want to feel more refreshed?"
Lu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and said, "I want to."
He Qin curled his lips and was ready to pick him up and fly to the river with Qinggong. But thinking of the miserable state of Lu Xiaobai when he suddenly hugged her before, He Qin said helplessly: "Then let's go to the river. I'll carry you over with Qinggong. Don't strangle me."
Go take a bath in the river?
Lu Xiaobai nodded quickly, put the soap nuts and the clothes on the ground into the basket, then opened his arms and said to He Qin, "Then hold me."
Only then did He Qin hold the person in his arms and take a deep breath before moving forward.
Although Lu Xiaobai is pregnant, she usually cannot go to the river to bathe because the water is too cold.
But the weather is very hot now, and he just asked Lingsi, Lu Xiaobai is in good health and can take a bath.
The two of them quickly arrived at the river, and Lu Xiaobai quickly took off all his clothes. However, he didn't dare to go into the water alone, so he could only stand aside and urge He Qin: "Hurry up, I've taken off all my clothes, why haven't you finished taking off your clothes yet?"
He Qin admired Lu Xiaobai's body in the moonlight. Although he used to be thin, he had gained some weight now, and his belly was slightly bulging, which looked a bit like a small belly, making He Qin want to pinch it.
Moreover, Lu Xiaobai's skin was originally white, and now standing in the moonlight, it looked even whiter, like a piece of beautiful jade, making people want to hold him in the palm of their hands and caress him carefully.
He Qin swallowed, took off his last piece of clothing, and went into the water with Lu Xiaobai in his arms.
Although He Qin had good intentions, they were actually taking a shower now.
Lu Xiaobai sat in the water, He Qin sat behind him, rubbing his head with soap nuts.
Lu Xiaobai paddled vigorously with both hands, and asked as he did so: "He Qin, where do all the fish in the river go to at night?"
He Qin was diligently washing Lu Xiaobai's hair. When he heard this question, he answered in a low voice: "I don't know."
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips in disdain, and when he lowered his head, he saw a patch of grass on the other side of the river move, as if there was a human figure!
Lu Xiaobai's body suddenly froze, and he turned to look at He Qin with some fear and asked, "He Qin, there seems to be someone!"
He Qin looked up and around, and found that there were indeed two figures on the other side of the river. He quickly picked up Lu Xiaobai and swam to hide under a tree on the distant shore.
Fortunately, the river was still roaring, and the people on the other side did not notice them. Instead, they took off their clothes and went into the water.
Although the moonlight was bright, Lu Xiaobai was not particularly familiar with the people here, and he did not recognize the two people on the other side.
He Qin did the same, holding Lu Xiaobai in his arms, rubbing his hair while waiting for the two to finish their shower and leave.
But what they didn't expect was that the two of them hugged each other as soon as they got into the water.
Lu Xiaobai was confused. Is this a live version?
When He Qin heard the voice, he was already preoccupied, and with his wife sitting in his arms, he saluted as well.
And Lu Xiaobai, who was sitting on He Qin's lap: ...
