Chapter 89
Lu Xiaobai spoke in a firm tone. At that moment, he wanted He Qin to no longer have to worry about the people going hungry, and he wanted He Qin's frown to relax.
Worried that He Qin wouldn't believe him, he shook his hand and said, "You, please believe me too, okay? I really can do it."
Looking at Lu Xiaobai's serious eyes, He Qin laughed softly and said with his head down: "I believe you, my little husband is the best."
Although He Qin said he believed him, the teasing words made Lu Xiaobai blush instantly. He let go of He Qin's hand, turned his back to him and said, "It's not yours."
What his little husband, what the best or not, he is not a child, why are you coaxing him like this.
He Qin laughed softly, and even Ling Yi and the others in the distance were happy too.
Seeing the relationship between the two people getting better and better, they were also happy for their master and Nan He.
After all, Nan He already has a young master now.
They had been very busy these days and only finished today so they could take a break. After washing off the mud, the grown men rested in the sun in the yard.
But it was already afternoon, the sun was about to set, and the temperature was a little chilly, but they were tired and cold-resistant, so they continued to lie motionless in the chairs.
He Qin went into the house. Lu Xiaobai was bored, so he sat in the yard and fed the geese with cabbage.
After Lu Xiaobai's desperate protection in the morning, the little goose is now particularly dependent on Lu Xiaobai. As soon as he wakes up, the little goose follows him around, and now it squats at his feet and eats cabbage obediently.
Lu Xiaobai poked its little head and said seriously, "We are friends who have shared life and death together. I can't just keep calling you little goose. I still have to give you a name."
"But what should I name it?"
Lu Xiaobai was thinking seriously. When the men sitting in front heard this, they pricked up their ears instantly. While listening to what name Lu Xiaobai was going to come up with, they helped him think of it in their minds.
Lingyi felt that although the goose was not very useful, it was quite fierce, so he could give it a more domineering name, such as White Tiger, which means it is powerful and domineering and easy to raise.
Ling Er was disdainful, thinking that the goose should be given a name. He thought about it with a pout and felt that it should be called Goose Egg.
Zero Three is a rough guy who can’t come up with a name, just waiting to hear the result.
Lingsi is gentle and likes the little goose very much. Thinking that the goose is pure white and he really wants to raise it, he thinks the name Baifeng is a good name and suitable for the little goose.
The three of them thought of a name in their minds and subconsciously turned around to tell Lu Xiaobai their ideas. However, they didn't expect that as soon as they turned around, they heard Lu Xiaobai say, "Looking at your color, let's call you Xiao Huang."
Zero One: ...
Zero Four: ...
Ling Er covered his mouth, looking like he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Ling San glanced at Xiao Huang. Doesn’t Master Xiao Bai know that this little goose will be white when it grows up?
Even He Qin, who was analyzing state affairs in the kitchen, glanced at him, and seeing that he looked serious, he held his forehead helplessly.
Lu Xiaobai was very happy after giving Xiao Huang a name. He wanted to hug Xiao Huang, but he was afraid that Xiao Huang would poop. So he used his injured hand to touch its back stiffly and said, "Yes, Xiao Huang is a good name. Let's go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
Seeing Xiao Huang eating so happily, he also felt hungry.
Lu Xiaobai looked down at her belly, then stood up and walked away, saying, "Is pregnancy so scary? I'm hungry again after just a short while of eating."
Lu Xiaobai pouted, he was unhappy.
"noob?"
Lu Xiaobai was just getting angry when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw the village chief standing at the gate with a basket on his back: "Xiaobai, come open the door for me."
Seeing someone coming, Ling stood up and went to open the door, saying as he walked: "The door is not locked, just push it open and you can come in."
The village chief came, and Lu Xiaobai was very happy. He turned around and ran to open the door. However, halfway through the run, he heard that the door was not locked. He stopped unhappily and stood there looking at the village chief and others without saying a word.
Lingyi helped to lift the backpack down, and the village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaobai? Are you unhappy again?"
Lu Xiaobai pouted and nodded: "Yeah, I haven't seen the village chief uncle for a long time."
Lingyi took a stool and asked the two to sit down. He also sat aside and waited for the village chief to tell him the purpose of his visit.
The village chief smiled helplessly and said, "I've been busy lately. I just finished my work now. Besides, didn't I see him in the fields a while ago?"
Lu Xiaobai sat on a small stool, touching the squatting Xiao Huang and saying, "It doesn't count in the field, it's so far away."
"Okay, okay, that doesn't count. I came to see you as soon as I finished my work. You're really pregnant this time, right? I heard from Lingyi and the others that you got pregnant in mid-March, so it's almost a month now. Don't run around and take care of yourself."
His pregnancy was known again?
Lu Xiaobai blushed instantly and stammered in rebuttal: "No, no, that's not the case..."
But the village chief didn't hear a word he said. As he spoke, he pulled the basket over and showed him the cabbages and wild vegetables inside. "This is the vegetables that everyone has gathered for you. Some are vegetables from the fields, some are wild vegetables picked from the mountains, and we also gathered three pounds of corn. We've almost run out of food recently. There are so many of you, all of you men, so we thought you wouldn't have enough to eat, so we gathered some for you. It's not much, but it's a thoughtful gesture from everyone."
Lu Xiaobai: "Okay, thank you, village chief uncle, actually we have..."
Lu Xiaobai wanted to say that they had food, but before he could say it, He Qin grabbed his wrist. He subconsciously turned around, and He Qin shook his head slightly at him. Then he thanked the village chief: "Thank you, village chief. We'll take it."
"Just take it. Xiaobai is pregnant, so you should find more food for him. There's nothing left in Lujia Village. Without food, the chickens and ducks won't lay eggs much. You can go look for bird eggs in the mountains. After a while, there should be some. Go look for them."
The village chief was a farmer, and his familiarity and love for crops made him talk endlessly. "Oh, right, since there's not much food, birds might come to eat the crops, so we need to make some scarecrows to scare them away. You bring a lot of convenience to the village. Before the New Year, we could give you some food, but now we can't do that anymore. So, we've decided to take turns helping you weed and fertilize your fields, and also help you break up the cotton buds..."
As it was getting dark, He Qin wanted to keep the village chief for dinner, Ling Si had already gone to make it, but the village chief still insisted on leaving with his empty backpack.
It's not easy for everyone these days, and he can't take advantage of Xiao He's family anymore.
Lu Xiaobai was still sitting on the small bench. He touched Xiao Huang with his injured hand and asked in confusion, "We obviously have food to eat, why do we have to accept the village chief's request? They are suffering much more than us."
He Qin pulled the man up from the bench and said as he walked towards the kitchen, "Don't let people take it for granted that others are kind to them. This is to protect his kindness."
Just one sentence, and Lu Xiaobai understood instantly.
Because the people of Lujia Village are grateful to them, the people of Lujia Village are kind-hearted.
If the people of Lujia Village take other people's kindness for granted, they may gradually become greedy and go against everyone's original intentions.
People are fickle and cannot withstand tests, let alone disasters.
Because of He Qin's words, Lu Xiaobai instantly understood why He Qin had not paid for his seeds before, and would not give them away for free even if he wanted to sell them at a low price.
So that’s how it is!
The two of them went into the kitchen and sat down. Lu Xiaobai grabbed He Qin's hand, leaned on the table, looked into his eyes and asked, "What about me? Do you also want me to be grateful to you?"
He Qin looked at the silly boy who put his head on the table, curled his lips helplessly and said, "As long as you don't betray me, everything else is up to you."
Lu Xiaobai pouted unhappily: "I won't betray you."
He is not a spy, why would he betray He Qin?
He Qin touched his hair: "Well, I know, Xiaofulang likes you the most, right?"
He Qin teased him again, what husband and what husband, how shameless!
Lu Xiaobai blushed and sat up straight. He looked down at Xiao Huang at his feet and said, "You're talking nonsense. I, I, I like Xiao Huang the most!"
He Qin: ...
At that moment, He Qin looked at Xiao Huang with murderous eyes.
Ling Si, who was cooking, almost laughed out loud when he saw the scene.
But before he could laugh, he almost cried, because Feiyun came back with a pheasant at his feet, flew directly into the kitchen and threw the pheasant on the table.
But whether it was Feiyun or the pheasant, they scared Lu Xiaobai so much that he almost fell off the stool. Fortunately, He Qin hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid. It's just... hunted for you. It's a gift for you."
Feiyun stood on the pheasant with a proud look on his face, staring at Lu Xiaobai with his big, cute eyes.
But no matter how cute Feiyun's eyes were, Lu Xiaobai, who had been hurt by it twice, couldn't like it. He even felt a sharp pain in his right hand. He curled up in He Qin's arms, trembling, and said anxiously with a pout: "You, you said you drove it away, why is it still here?"
He Qin: "There is no urgent letter. You can let it rest for a few days. It is admitting its mistake to you."
Lu Xiaobai's voice was trembling with anxiety, and he shouted while holding back his tears: "I don't want it to admit its mistake, let it go, don't want its chicken..."
He Qin had no choice but to let Feiyun go out first. Instead, Lingsi came over, took the pheasant away, and cleaned the bloodstains on the table before continuing to cook.
Although Feiyun came to admit his mistake, Lu Xiaobai was still very scared and had no energy to eat. He couldn't eat after He Qin fed him a few bites. He still finished the rice in the bowl based on the principle of not wasting food.
Because his hand was injured, He Qin took over the washing up after dinner and made him feel fresh before letting him go to bed.
Just because he was scared tonight, Lu Xiaobai just nestled in He Qin's arms, not moving around, and was very obedient. But He Qin was so angry that he couldn't vent.
The next morning, the first thing Lu Xiaobai did after getting up was to go to each room to look for Feiyun. He was relieved to find that it was not there. Then he followed He Qin to wash up and have breakfast.
But what he didn't expect was that just after he finished his meal, he heard Xiao Huang's cackling, his voice miserable and hoarse.
He quickly ran out to see, and found that Xiao Huang was running in front, and Feiyun was flapping its wings and chasing behind. The scene frightened Lu Xiaobai so much that he grabbed He Qin's arm and shouted in panic: "Hurry, hurry, save Xiao Huang, save Xiao Huang..."
——
After one stick of incense.
"He Qin~"
Lu Xiaobai grabbed He Qin's arm and acted like a spoiled child. She looked at him pitifully, holding back her tears and whispered, "If you lock them up together, what if Feiyun gets too hungry and eats Xiao Huang?"
Remembering Feiyun jumping and chasing Xiaohuang just now, He Qin caught them and locked them up in a chicken coop.
Feiyun was fine, he just looked at He Qin with some confusion.
As for Xiao Huang, the whole goose was frightened and huddled in the corner, trembling and not daring to move.
Lu Xiaobai pouted, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a sob: "That was the first goose you gave me. I can't, I can't let it eat it."
He Qin touched Lu Xiaobai's hair and said distressedly: "Don't cry, if Feiyun dares to eat Xiao Huang, we will kill it and buy you a goose."
Feiyun: ...
Birds have a hard life.
