For the next period of time, Bai Chi lived his life as usual, but there was a new person in the family, Yang Yunxiao, whom no one knew.
Perhaps because he had lived in the mountains for a long time, Yang Yunxiao was very perceptive and could always climb out of the window the moment he heard a sound.
There were many piles of firewood behind the house, which made it convenient for him to hide, and he was never discovered once.
When Bai Chi went to work in the fields, he stayed at home to take care of Ling Xi. When Ling Xi was hungry, Xiao Hei would prepare milk powder or rice noodles in the space, and then secretly put it in the cabinet or other places where it was not usually seen, and then lead Yang Yunxiao to get it.
Yang Yunxiao's mind was not very clear at the moment, so he didn't suspect anything at all. He just thought that Bai Chi had prepared it in advance.
And Bai Chi uses his mental power to do his work, which is also fair and upright.
As for what will happen if Yang Yunxiao gets better in the future, will he know everything?
Let’s talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, he is not worried that Yang Yunxiao will tell others.
Although he had to get up early every day to work, going up the mountain and down the field, Bai Chi felt more and more that life was wonderful, especially since there was someone at home waiting for him to come home every day.
It is said that a man's ultimate dream is to have a wife and children and a warm bed. Ever since Yang Yunxiao slowly started taking care of the children, Bai Chi's steps when he returned home felt much lighter.
He also has mental power to help with work. Every morning before everyone wakes up, he uses his mental power to wash clothes by the river and then brings them back from the river himself.
No matter who sees this, they will praise Ling Zhiqing for being hardworking and capable.
In particular, Ling Zhiqing is not only hardworking and capable, but also very lucky. In just one month, he has caught wild goats twice.
Although there was only one the second time, they did exchange it for some cloth coupons and food coupons. Anyway, the father and son will definitely not have to worry about food this winter.
As for other people's traps, they have only caught two or three fat rabbits in the past month, and nothing else.
It turns out that not everyone can catch the wild game in this mountain.
Even this wild rabbit was actually given to them by Bai Chi because he saw them running every day but always returning empty-handed.
During this period, Bai Chi has been teaching Yang Yunxiao to speak, and so far, the two can communicate normally.
But Yang Yunxiao still didn't want to contact other people, and would hide quickly when he heard other people's voices.
As winter approached, his life became more and more comfortable, especially since he was far away from the village. He could use his mental power to disguise himself so that no one would notice anything unusual here.
For example, sometimes others are still working in the fields while their families have already started lighting a fire and cooking.
For example, he was chopping wood in the mountains, while someone was already washing clothes by the river.
All in all, mental power is very useful and would be a waste if not used. It perfectly combines with the previous idea of being able to stay in the village with peace of mind and "stay away from the world".
And he can keep an eye on Yang Yunxiao and Ling Xi.
In the eyes of others, the little girl from Ling Zhiqing's family is so obedient and easy to raise. Now when Bai Chi occasionally brings her out, everyone can see that the little girl is fair, tender, chubby, and very cute.
It can be said that apart from the fact that there is a person hidden in his house, and this secret has not been made known to the villagers for the time being, Bai Chi is now living a very happy life.
Even he himself had changed from his initial thin and weak appearance and regained the vigorous and energetic appearance he had when he first came to the village.
I don’t know if it’s because he is always thinking about his children at home and working hard for them, but I feel that the boy who used to be so naive has become more and more calm and likable.
Just today, Bai Chi went up the mountain with everyone to chop firewood. Winter has come and there has not been much work in the fields recently. Going up the mountain to chop firewood is also to prepare firewood for next year.
When Bai Chi was dragging a large bundle of firewood down the mountain, Li, an educated youth who had gone to the countryside half a year earlier than him, stopped him.
"Xiao Ling, you're getting better and better at work now. None of us brothers can catch up with you."
Bai Chi was thinking about his wife and children at home. While he was washing clothes in the morning, he caught a big grass carp. The weather has been cold recently, so he planned to make pickled fish in the evening.
Hearing Brother Li's teasing, he just smiled foolishly.
"I've finally gotten used to it. Before, that was the adjustment period, but now I'm used to it. No matter how hard or tired I am, I can just go home, see Xi'er, and get some sleep, and I'll be back to normal."
Li Zhiqing glanced around and saw that the others were quite far away, so he quickly walked a little closer.
"Xiao Ling, you already have a child. Even though you adopted him, you plan to raise him well, right?"
Bai Chi nodded immediately and spoke anxiously.
"Of course. I raised Xi'er bit by bit with great difficulty. Is there anyone who wants to snatch her from me?"
It's no wonder he was so worried. After all, the child was picked up, and it was almost certain that he was from either this village or that village.
Maybe during this period, Xier's biological parents even met Xier!
If someone really comes out and says that the child is theirs, although the probability is small, it is definitely not impossible.
But this time Bai Chi was obviously overthinking it.
"What are you talking about? Who stole your child?"
Li Zhiqing was speechless, then pulled Bai Chi over and brought him close to his ear.
"Xi'er is a girl after all. You're a grown man. It will be inconvenient to take care of the child when she grows up, right?"
Bai Chi vaguely felt that he seemed to know what he was going to say.
Sure enough, the next second I heard him continue talking.
"What do you think of Uncle Zhang's Erni? She's about your age and used to work with you. She's attentive, capable, and kind..."
Bai Chi understood and shook his head without waiting for Li Zhiqing to finish speaking.
"Thank you, Brother Li. I won't consider that for now. Although Xi'er is a girl, I will teach her to read and write. She can also learn from books if I don't know anything. It's no problem."
Bai Chi spoke tactfully, but his attitude was firm. Li Zhiqing saw it and could only sigh.
"Well, since you don't mean that, I'll help you reject her. But you have to think it over carefully. Erni is indeed a good girl and she's of marriageable age. If you miss this opportunity, you won't have another chance in the future."
Bai Chi was at a loss for words: "Brother Li, don't worry about this. I really have no plans to get married."
He also knew about the Erni that Li Zhiqing mentioned. It was exactly as Li Zhiqing said, but he really had no idea. He had someone in his family, and she was so big.
Li Zhiqing could only express regret.
After this incident, Bai Chi realized that in addition to working, he also had to keep a distance from the unmarried girls in the village.
Although we don’t have much contact in normal times, times have changed and we still need to be careful.
Sure enough, Yang Yunxiao had to step forward sooner rather than later.
Even if they don't need to announce their relationship loudly, they should let others know that they are living together, which can avoid a lot of trouble.
The only thing that worries Bai Chi is Yang Yunxiao's recent condition...
