Jiang Wanwan didn't expect him to get off work so early today. "It just so happens that I have something for you to do."
Without saying anything, she grabbed Lu Xiao's arm and ran straight to the backyard. Pointing at a large basket, she asked with sparkling eyes, "Guess what I bought at the market today?"
He glanced at the little hand in his arm. Jiang Wanwan's skin was white, and her little hand was soft and tender, forming a sharp contrast with his arm.
And her eyes, sparkling with joy, almost melted his heart.
He always felt that Jiang Wanwan had a kind of magic that made you sink into it regardless of everything even though you knew there might be an abyss ahead.
She only needs a look, a smile, or a pleasant voice to move your entire nerves, be infected by her, and want to become a part of her world.
His eyes couldn't help but soften a little, "It looks like a chicken."
I can hear the cooing sound, so why should I guess?
Jiang Wanwan pulled him down and squatted, carefully opening a small gap for him to see. "A hen, a hen that lays eggs. Lu Xiao, you don't know this, but when I was buying eggs, I saw this hen laying eggs, so I bought her right away. Although it's a little more expensive, we will have eggs to eat every day from now on."
Seeing her look of delight as if she had found a great bargain, Lu Xiao also tried to put on a happy expression, "That's great, but it can't be left like this. I'll build it a nest."
Jiang Wanwan nodded. She had just wanted to talk about this matter, and after hearing what he said, she decided to hand over this important task to him.
Lu Xiao looked at her cheerful back: What a little girl who is out of touch with the world.
He could tell at a glance that this was an old hen. Hens don't like to lay eggs in winter, and old hens lay even fewer eggs. If they only eat food and don't lay eggs, no one will raise them. She felt like she had gotten a great bargain.
But it doesn't matter. Seeing how happy she is, Lu Xiao feels it's worth it. At worst, he can just make more money and buy more eggs for his family in the future.
Although building a chicken coop is not a strenuous job, the stones used have to be picked up from the mountain behind.
Jiang Wanwan had prepared dinner and saw Lu Xiao coming back shirtless with a basket of stones on his back.
"Do you need my help?" She stepped forward to lend a hand, but the man dodged her.
"No need, the stones are almost ready. Let's build the chicken coop before it gets dark. If you're hungry, eat first. You don't have to wait for me."
How could Jiang Wanwan eat first? Seeing his clothes thrown aside, she took them and wanted to help him wash them.
With a "pop", a piece of candy fell out of his pocket. It was the White Rabbit candy she had given him during the day.
Jiang Wanwan glanced at the man who was concentrating on his work. Was he reluctant to eat?
She simply peeled off the candy wrapper, walked a few steps to the man, and stuffed the candy directly into his mouth.
“Hmm…”
The man was startled, then he saw the girl's beautiful smile, "Is it sweet?"
