Chapter 52 Qin Chuyang sleeps alone at the age of four and is taller than me

In the silent night, time passed slowly until the early morning when the deafening sound of firecrackers filled the entire Wuli Village. The night in Wuli Village suddenly became lively, and the chirping of birds and insects around were completely drowned out by the lively sounds.

In the Qin family yard, inside Jiang Tang's house.

Jiang Tang had completely nestled in the man's arms. She was soundly asleep but was woken up by the piercing sound of firecrackers. She frowned and looked a little annoyed. She struggled in the man's arms for a while, not wanting to wake up. She just wanted to get rid of this annoying sound from her ears.

Noticing that the little girl who was disturbed showed signs of waking up, Jiang Tang covered the little girl's ears with her hands and buried her head in the man's arms.

Yagen's voice was not clear yet. He frowned and muttered in a daze, "Qin Xiao, what happened?"

Qin Xiao's voice was still hoarse as he said softly, "It's okay. The wedding party should be leaving soon. Go to sleep."

Jiang Tang mumbled in a daze, her consciousness was groggy, the disturbing noises in her ears were mostly blocked by the man, until the disturbing sound of firecrackers stopped, she fell asleep again.

Qin Xiao then slowly loosened his hands that were covering the little girl's ears, lowered his eyes and stared at the little girl's head. The sound of firecrackers just now seemed to still ring in his ears.

There didn't seem to be anything like that at his wedding to the girl.

The man stared into the darkness with his black eyes, and he let out a low breath, not feeling sleepy at all.

The little girl clasped her hands tightly in her arms and kept her eyes open until dawn.

The next morning, when Jiang Tang got up, it was already late. She rubbed her eyes and went out. Qin Xiao was not in the yard. Thinking of what the man said yesterday about going to the construction site today, Jiang Tang washed up, looked at the food warming in the pot, lit the fire, and after the little guy got up, they had breakfast.

She had originally planned to ask the man to take her to see the city, but now that he has left, she can only wait until tomorrow.

At noon, Wenjuan came over. Jiang Tang saw that she was very happy and thought that there would be excitement again.

As expected, as soon as Wen Juan entered the yard, she took Jiang Tang's arm and stared at him with a smile, "Hehehe, sister-in-law, you don't know."

Jiang Tang shook her head helplessly. There was everything she didn't know, but she just didn't know it for the moment. Wen Juan could make her know.

She nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Wen Juan covered her mouth and laughed, "Last night's wedding reception was a joke. Jiang Cui was dressed up beautifully, and the bride should have sat in the car."

"Who would have known that Chen Qian must have felt embarrassed yesterday, so he sat in the car and let Wen Juan sit in the carport at the back. You didn't see how funny that scene was."

Chen Qian did not have a driver's license and did not know how to drive, so he let the driver drive. Normally, when picking up the bride, the bride should sit in the front, or at the very least, the couple should sit in the back together. But Chen Qian did the opposite, he sat in the front and left Jiang Cui in the back.

She looked at Jiang Cui sitting at the back with the group of people who came to pick up the bride, facing the wind and shedding tears. The scene was extremely funny.

I don’t know if Jiang Cui regretted it when she was in the car.

Jiang Tang had not expected this to happen. When the bride was picked up last night, she seemed to have fallen asleep and heard some noise vaguely, but she had no clear memory of it.

Wen Juan sighed twice, "It's only the first day of marriage and you're treating her like this. Life will be hard for her in the future."

Jiang Tang also agreed. Especially since Wen Juan was still pregnant and yet she was treated like this, he didn't know how such a person could endure it.

He was quite sarcastic towards them, but very obedient towards Chen Qian's family.

Even though he suffered a loss, he had to swallow it with gritted teeth. Jiang Tang still admired him a little.

Wenjuan talked to Jiang Tang for a while, and after Aunt Guimei came over, the two of them started working together.

—

In the evening, Qin Xiao came back and Jiang Tang stared at him, "Are you going to work tomorrow? What's going on in the factory?"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Well, the machines have been shipped back. We'll spend some time to finish the interior decoration, and then we can start the work while recruiting people."

Jiang Tang whispered, "I'll go with you tomorrow to see what you've done."

She was really curious. The machines had already been shipped back, so she guessed it would be even faster in the future.

Qin Xiao nodded, "Okay."

Seeing the girl's genuine curiosity, Qin Xiao said calmly, "There are only machines inside, nothing else has been done yet."

Don't expect too much.

Jiang Tang held his chin and nodded, "I know."

Qin Chuyang was eating his meal, listening to his brother and sister-in-law's words, and couldn't help but raise his hand, "Brother, I want to go too."

Qin Xiao stared at his brother and nodded slightly, agreeing with him.

The next morning, Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang both got up early, washed themselves quickly, and after eating, the old and the young just stared at Qin Xiao eagerly.

Qin Xiao was indifferent. He opened the car door and let his uncle and sister-in-law in. Then he got in and drove out of the yard. Then Qin Xiao got out of the car, closed the yard door, got in the car, and drove out of the village.

Along the way, I saw many villagers staring at this small car, some with envy, some with jealousy.

"Tsk tsk, look at his car, he's so proud of it, it's just a small car, he's afraid that others don't know he bought a car, he drives it outside every day, I think if he keeps driving like this, it will break down in a few days."

"That's right. If you don't take good care of the car after buying it, the rotten road in our village will break down sooner or later."

"If things go wrong, he'll cry. It's annoying to be parading around like this every day. Ugh."

Some of them almost spit at the exhaust fumes of Jiang Tang and her friends' car.

In their eyes, once a car is bought it is not to be driven, but a storefront to be worshipped like an ancestor.

Qin Xiao drove straight to the factory. The man drove very steadily along the way, and Jiang Tang did not vomit at all.

She stared at Qin Xiao in the driver's seat and whispered, "Qin Xiao, you are a really good driver."

Deserves a compliment.

The man, who was driving slowly because he was afraid that the girl would get carsick, smiled with his thin lips but said nothing.

Jiang Tang pressed her head against the car window, looking at the road outside, and quietly touched her butt. This time she finally didn't have to suffer, and her butt was saved.

She didn't notice the smile in the man's eyes in the rearview mirror.

When they arrived at the destination, Jiang Tang got off the car and jumped happily. She felt comfortable as she was not carsick. She no longer had to worry about her butt being shaken into pieces.

Staring at the happy face of the little girl, Qin Xiao's eyes also showed a smile. After Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang slowed down for a while, he took her and Qin Chuyang into the factory together.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Tang could clearly see rows of machines neatly placed in the workshop.

The little girl's face was full of curiosity, and Qin Xiao took her in.

Jiang Tang did not forget to hold the little fellow in his hand and follow Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao walked over and slowly introduced the little girl from the beginning, whispering, "It's just the beginning now, and we have divided it into several workshops."

Jiang Tang blinked. To be honest, this was her first time seeing a clothing factory. It was quite novel.

Seeing the little girl's curiosity, Qin Xiao did not show any impatience. He walked in and introduced it to her.

"There is a whole finishing workshop for decontamination, ironing, packaging workshop, board room, cutting workshop, and garment workshop."

Jiang Tang nodded slowly, listened to the man slowly introducing her, and walked over.

Zhang Hetian was still directing the workers to handle the equipment. When he saw Jiang Tang and Qin Xiao coming over, he waved at them as a greeting. Just as he was about to jog over, Qin Xiao shook his head.

Taking Jiang Tang, he continued to look over there.

When Zhang Hetian saw Xiaoge talking to his sister-in-law again, he decided not to go over.

The couple was walking in the workshop and looking at the equipment one by one.

Jiang family.

He Sufen stared at the woman in front of her and shouted, "You shameless person, what did you say?"

The woman frowned and said, "I said, you should return the one thousand yuan that the Qin family gave to your family."

"Li Shunqin, you're a crazy woman. I've already returned the money to that little bastard Qin Xiao."

Li Shunqin didn't believe it. She stared at He Sufen and said, "When I came here today, I heard from the villagers that Jiang Cui had married into the city. She didn't marry my son. You should give me all the betrothal gifts."

The woman in front of him who was asking He Sufen for money had slender limbs, some fat on her belly, a sallow face, and a very bad complexion.

He stared at He Sufen anxiously, wanting her to give him money.

He Sufen said with a snort, "Li Shunqin, it's my daughter's own ability that she was able to marry into the city. Your son has already married Jiang Tang, and the money has long been taken back by that ungrateful couple, who even destroyed my mother's house. You are a shameless mother who abandoned Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang and ran away, and now you come to me to ask for money!"

What He Sufen said was almost the same as what Jiang Tang had said before, but Li Shunqin didn't believe it. She didn't believe that He Sufen would really give the money to Qin Xiao. When she came today, she also heard that Jiang Cui had married into the city, which made her more certain that the Jiang family was rich now.

"Your daughter has married into the city, so she must have money. Don't say anything else, just return the money to me."

All she wants now is money.

Looking at her weak appearance that looked like she had not had a good life, He Sufen was amused. She rolled her eyes and softened her voice, "Li Shunqin, do you want money?"

Li Shunqin nodded quickly with a sad face. It's not that she has no money but she won't come back.

He Sufen smiled and said, "I'll show you a way. You can ask your son for the place. Your son has money. Do you know who the daughter-in-law your son is looking for is?"

She said with an exaggerated expression, "She was my eldest daughter who was sent away to be a young lady. She married your son when she returned from the capital. Now the couple runs a workshop and a factory. They have plenty of money. You are Qin Xiao's mother after all. Qin Xiao will definitely not ignore you."

Li Shunqin's face was full of suspicion, but her mind unconsciously recalled the look on Jiang Tang's face that day.

His face is so white and tender that you can pinch water out of it. You can tell at a glance that he has never had a hard life. Maybe he is really rich.

Seeing her wavering, He Sufen immediately added fuel to the fire, "Really? Qin Xiao drove his car around the village yesterday. Just ask anyone in the village and they'll know that Qin Xiao bought a car and built a factory. He's rich. You're his biological mother, so even if he did something wrong, you're still his mother, not him. He won't keep blaming you."

“He’s got his own way now.”

Li Shunqin was a little hesitant. When she thought about how she left, she felt guilty.

She was reluctant to see Qin Xiao, but when she heard He Sufen say that Qin Xiao was rich now, she couldn't help but feel that she was his biological mother, and Qin Xiao would not ignore her no matter what he did.

However, when she thought of Qin Xiao's hateful eyes, she still didn't dare.

The hesitant look makes people feel disgusted.

"Qin Xiao won't give me money."

He Sufen suppressed her hatred and said with a smile, "Let's take a step back. Even if Qin Xiao doesn't give you the money, you still have your little son. Your Qin Chuyang is still so young, he definitely needs you as his mother. You should hide from Qin Xiao first and coax Qin Chuyang. Children forget things quickly, and you can coax him and he will recognize you as his biological mother. Then Qin Chuyang can talk to his brother about it, and you can have as much money as you want."

This time, Li Shunqin took He Sufen's words to heart, lowered her head and walked away in silence.

Seeing her leaving, He Sufen spit, "Bah, you bitch who abandoned your husband and children, Qin Xiao, that ungrateful bastard, is just like you!"

Then she laughed again. With such a mother, she wanted to see what Qin Xiao and his wife would do.

It's going to be exciting to watch. It would be better if the Qin family is turned upside down. Those ungrateful couple deserve it!

After Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang visited the factory, Qin Xiao sent them home first.

Then he ran back.

Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang rested for a while before going to the kitchen to prepare hot pot in the evening. Even if Qin Xiao came back late, they could eat anytime.

She took out all the side dishes, washed them, and put them in a basin. After washing, she put them in the refrigerator so that she could take them out whenever she wanted to eat them.

"Woo woo woo, sister-in-law, there are bad guys!"

Jiang Tang was in the kitchen when he suddenly heard the young man's voice. He immediately put down what he was holding, picked up a kitchen knife and went out. Then he saw a woman arguing with Qin Chuyang at the door. The woman looked somewhat familiar.

Jiang Tang ran out with a kitchen knife and heard the woman's voice.

"Chuyang, don't you remember me? I am your mother."

Jiang Tang paused holding the kitchen knife, and then thought, how could this kid not recognize his own mother? She ran over, grabbed the woman's hand holding Chu Yang's, and her little face was completely pulled down.

“Let go!”

Li Shunqin looked at Jiang Tang impatiently, then looked at the disobedient Qin Chuyang, and shouted, "I am really Chuyang's mother."

She pulled Qin Chuyang's hand, pulling the boy's hand until it turned red.

Jiang Tang looked down at the young man, without letting go of the middle-aged woman's hand, and looked down at Qin Chuyang, "Chuyang, do you know her?"

Qin Chuyang's hands were hurt by the bad woman. Hearing his sister-in-law asking him, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, I don't know her! She is a bad person!"

Jiang Tang took a deep breath, pointed the knife at the woman, and said in a cold voice, "Let go, or I will chop you down."

The woman stared at the cold kitchen knife in Jiang Tang's hand, then reluctantly let go of Qin Chuyang's hand.

Li Shunqin originally just wanted to come over and secretly find Qin Chuyang to comfort him, but who knew that this heartless boy had completely forgotten about her mother.

She herself did not want to think about it. Qin Chuyang was only three years old when she left. Even if he remembered her appearance, how could Qin Chuyang still remember her now that she looked ten years older.

Seeing that she had let go, Jiang Tang squatted down and held the kid in his arms, staring at the woman in front of him with a wary look.

This woman is most likely a human trafficker.

The last time I sneaked over here, it was probably to scout the place, but today I came here just to take Chuyang away.

Another possibility is that she is really Qin Chuyang's mother.

However, Jiang Tang stared at the woman in front of him. If she was Qin Chuyang's mother, she shouldn't have such a hard life after leaving home with so much money.

Moreover, Jiang Tang glanced at the young man's red hands. She would rather the person in front of her was a human trafficker!

Otherwise, what mother would treat a four-year-old son like this?

Li Shunqin stared at Qin Xiao's wife's defensive face and quickly explained, "I am really Chuyang's mother. Look at Chuyang, how much he looks like me."

When she said this, Jiang Tang was stunned. He took a close look at the woman in front of him and was slightly shocked. Before, he only thought that she was suspicious and had a sad face, but he didn't look at her carefully. But now, he saw that she was indeed somewhat similar to the two brothers.

She held Qin Chuyang's hand, stood up and stared at the woman in front of her, if she was really Qin Xiao's mother.

Thinking of the days before Qin Xiao, Jiang Tang's face turned completely cold.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing that she seemed to believe it, Li Shunqin breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at Qin Chuyang with a loving face, "I... I just miss them."

"Do you miss them? Then why did you run away before? If you really miss them, why did you show up at this moment?"

The woman was choked by Jiang Tang, "Before, I was afraid that the two brothers would blame me."

Jiang Tang was merciless, "I'm not afraid now!"

"Even if they don't hate you anymore, let alone still hate you, what can you do about it?"

"Why didn't you miss them when you took the money and ran away, huh? Did you think of a way out for them? Don't you think it's ridiculous that you come here and say you miss them now?"

Li Shunqin couldn't answer a word and couldn't help complaining to Jiang Tang, "Then you let me follow his father and ruin my life. His legs are broken, so he will be useless in the future. If I don't leave, my life will be over."

"You are also a woman, you should be able to understand me."

If it wasn't because Qin Xiao's father's leg was broken, why would she run away while living a good life? It's because that man is unreliable.

Jiang Tang's face couldn't be any gloomier. He stared at the woman in front of him, remembering Qin Xiao's fragile look on the hospital bed. He took a deep breath, his voice a little out of control, "The doctor said it's possible to cure it! While Qin Xiao was trying to make money, you were trying to run away."

"Even if it can't be cured and your leg is lame, you just want to run away, why do you want to take all the money away! Do you have any mother's heart? You don't want Qin Xiao and Chu Yang to live, right? "

"After you left, Qin Xiao's father found out that you took the money and ran away, so he also left. Did you know that?"

Li Shunqin felt a little guilty, "I don't know."

Jiang Tang's chest rose and fell violently, and he was extremely angry. "You didn't know, right? Now that you know, it's enough to know that our whole family hates you. Get out of here quickly. I don't want Qin Xiao to see you again."

The young guy hugged Jiang Tang's legs and stared at the bad woman in front of his sister-in-law with his big eyes.

The bad woman said it was his mother, but Qin Chuyang didn't believe it because his mother didn't look like that.

Moreover, the little guy pouted and said that his mother was also a bad woman and he didn't like her.

Li Shunqin had already come here and was seen by Jiang Tang. She was unwilling to leave now. She stared at Jiang Tang and said, "I heard that Qin Xiao has bought a car now. Is he going to build a factory?"

After saying this, Li Shunqin looked at the mocking eyes of the girl in front of her and lowered her head guiltily.

Jiang Tang took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, staring at Li Shunqin and said, "Answer me first, where have you been for the past year? Aren't you rich? Why are you so ruthless now and come back to my Qin Xiao with a smug face?"

He took so much money and left, but in just one year, he became like this.

Li Shunqin didn't say anything. Jiang Tang glared at her and led Qin Chuyang home.

Li Shunqin was anxious when she saw that she was about to leave. "If you don't let me see Qin Xiao, I promise you, then you give me money. After you give me the money, I promise that I will never see Qin Xiao again."

Jiang Tang thought she was crazy and was about to turn around and curse at her when he saw the man standing not far away.

Li Shunqin turned her head and saw her eldest son standing behind her. The first thing she saw was Qin Xiao's car parked not far away.

Her son really bought a car.

Li Shunqin felt a chill all over her body and saw Qin Xiao staring at her expressionlessly. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze was like a sharp sword that wanted to pierce her.

She avoided her eldest son's eyes, feeling terrified and frightened.

Qin Xiao walked up to Jiang Tang step by step and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Tang nodded, then asked, "Why are you back?"

Qin Xiao said calmly, "I came back early today."

Looking at the expressionless face of the man, Jiang Tang pursed her lips gently, not knowing what to say. Qin Xiao's biological mother was really a piece of shit, but she was his mother after all. Jiang Tang didn't know if the man would still be sad now.

Qin Xiao stared at the person in front of him and asked coldly, "Are you here to ask for money?"

As if he felt that he had heard something ridiculous, the man couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Li Shunqin didn't even look at Qin Xiao, she just whispered, "Qin Xiao, I am still your mother after all."

Qin Xiao looked at her coldly, his voice calm and even, "Well, tell me, how much do you want?"

Li Shunqin was a little surprised, "Will you give me money?"

Qin Xiao said coldly, "As long as you tell me where you have been this year."

Li Shunqin lowered her eyes guiltily and touched her belly unconsciously. Seeing this, Qin Xiao looked sarcastic, raised his hand to hold Jiang Tang's shoulders and was about to leave.

Li Shunqin hurriedly stopped him, "Qin Xiao, stop it, do you really want to give me money after I told you?"

Qin Xiao looked at her expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Now I don't want to listen, and I don't want to give it to you."

Li Shunqin stepped forward anxiously, "No! Qin Xiao, I'm your mother!"

In the end, this was all she had.

Qin Xiao stared at her belly and said lazily, "If you don't worry about what's in your belly, just stay with me."

As he spoke, Qin Xiao's hand moved.

Li Shunqin subconsciously protected her stomach.

Qin Xiao laughed sarcastically and ignored her. He looked down at Jiang Tang and said softly, "Go back first."

Jiang Tang nodded, stopped looking at the woman, and went back to the yard holding Qin Chuyang and the kitchen knife.

Staring at the little girl holding the kitchen knife, a smile appeared in Qin Xiao's eyes. Then he turned around expressionlessly and walked straight to the car. He ignored Li Shunqin standing at the gate of the yard and drove straight past.

Looking at the car coming straight towards her, Li Shunqin believed that her cruel son could really hit her to death. She could only dodge and then watch Jiang Tang close the door in front of her.

Staring at the yard, with no one in front of her, Li Shunqin couldn't help but step forward and shout, "Qin Xiao, I'm your mother, and I own a share of your house. You can't just ignore me."

The door was slammed open from the inside. Qin Xiao stared at her, his voice as cold as ice, "Get out or not!"

Li Shunqin swallowed her saliva. At this moment, she felt that her son would really kill her.

I couldn't help but take a few steps back, then ran away protecting my stomach.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes and closed the gate. He turned around and saw the little girl staring at him with a worried look on her face. The man looked normal and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Tang called out softly, "Qin Xiao."

She didn't know what to say. It turns out there are mothers in this world who don't love their own children.

Even someone like He Sufen treats that useless son as a treasure.

Jiang Tang stared at the tall man in front of her with her moist eyes and said softly, "Qin Xiao, why are you so unlucky?"

It was so unfortunate that she felt a little uncomfortable just watching it.

The tall man was stunned for a moment when the little girl's words reached his ears, and then he suddenly laughed out loud with a hoarse voice. His eyes were red, but he still smiled and stared at the little girl in front of him, and said softly, "Yeah, how could you be so unlucky."

Jiang Tang bit the inside of her mouth and walked forward. She couldn't help but grab the man's hand hanging by her side. Her lips curled up lightly and the smile in her eyes was as bright as stars. "But it's okay, Qin Xiao."

"We have already bought a car and built a factory. Good luck will continue to come to you in the future."

She pursed her lips and said firmly, "The previous ones don't count anymore."

Under the rough palms were the girl's delicate fingertips, the soft touch, touching the man's heart again and again. His dark eyes stared at the girl's smiling eyebrows, and there were serious words. Qin Xiao responded hoarsely, "Yeah."

The kid ran over and held Qin Xiao's other hand. He also raised his little face and looked at his brother, "Brother."

He also wants to accompany his brother and be with his sister-in-law!

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes and laughed softly.

Jiang Tang also looked at the young man with a smile, then pulled his hand away, returned to the kitchen, and said loudly, "Since you're back early, let's eat early."

"Let's have hot pot today."

Qin Xiao stared at the disappearing touch between his fingertips, clenched his fists to retain the warmth, then bent down and hugged Qin Chuyang in his arms.

He said in a deep voice, "Qin Chuyang, do you miss her?"

He had long been completely disappointed in that woman and had no expectations of her, but Qin Chuyang was only four years old, and he could not stop his brother from hoping for something illusory.

Qin Chuyang blinked, stared at his brother seriously, then hugged Qin Xiao's neck with his little hands, "Brother, I don't miss her, I want to be with brother and sister-in-law forever."

His mother is not a good person, he doesn't miss her, he only wants his brother and sister-in-law.

Qin Xiao lowered his black eyes slightly, staring at his brother's serious face, and rubbed his head, "Hmm."

Then he asked, "What should I do if she comes again and my brother is not at home?"

Qin Chuyang clenched his fists and said, "Beat her like a bad guy, use a kitchen knife to chase her out."

Qin Xiao then put his brother on the ground and responded softly, "Okay, let's do it."

After the two brothers finished talking, they returned to the clubhouse together.

After washing my hands, I helped Jiang Tang.

The side dishes were already prepared, so there was nothing to do. Jiang Tang prepared the hot pot base, and the family gathered around the tripod and ate hot pot.

After dinner, Jiang Tang went to take a shower first while Qin Xiao washed the dishes.

Return to the room.

Jiang Tang looked at Qin Xiao and whispered, "Qin Xiao, do you think she will come again?"

Qin Xiao said calmly, "Yes."

Jiang Tang turned over and crawled on the bed, "That's right."

She propped up her arms and tilted her face to look at the man in front of her, her voice was gloomy, "You are so successful now, she came here just to ask for money, knowing that you are rich, you will definitely not give up like this."

Qin Xiao stared at the little girl, "If she comes looking for you, Jiang Tang, don't be soft-hearted."

Jiang Tang tilted her head to look at him, blinked, rubbed her head on her arm, and muttered, "I definitely won't be soft-hearted. She's so cruel and treats you so badly. I won't be soft-hearted."

Qin Xiao stared at the ignorant little girl, his chest filled with emotions.

Because I treated him badly, I won't be soft-hearted?

It's because of him.

The man curled his thin lips and stared at the woman on the bed.

After seeing Qin Chuyang slowly climbing onto the bed, he smoothed the corners of his lips.

Turned around, turned off the light, and went to bed.

He frowned and thought carefully, four years old is not young anymore.

I can sleep alone.

When he was four years old, he had already fallen asleep by himself.

Jiang Tang yawned softly and fell asleep in a daze.

In the darkness, noticing the little girl's steady breathing, Qin Xiao ruthlessly pushed Qin Chuyang who was sleeping soundly beside him.

Qin Chuyang opened his eyes after being disturbed by his brother. He kept rubbing his eyes with his little hands, and his voice was soft and sticky, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Qin Chuyang, you are four years old."

The young boy was called up in the middle of the night and his brother told him his age. He nodded vaguely and said, "Yeah, I'm four years old."

Qin Xiao said in a cold voice, "My brother was already very tall when he was four years old, but he still slept alone."

When the boy heard that he had grown taller, he almost jumped up. He threw himself on his brother and asked excitedly, "Brother, is it true?"

The man admitted it without blushing.

Qin Chuyang asked doubtfully, "Brother, were you as tall as sister-in-law when you were four years old?"

Qin Xiao was silent for a rare moment, then spoke in a calm voice, "Taller than your sister-in-law."

In the darkness, the little boy opened his mouth wide, and then he looked a little disappointed, "Then why can't I grow taller?"

Qin Xiao said in a deep voice, "You are too dependent on me and your sister-in-law now. You need to be independent to grow taller."

The man's voice was full of magnetism. "Qin Chuyang, my brother has been sleeping alone since he was four years old, and you always say you want to sleep alone."

The answer is self-evident. She is now lying on the same bed with him and Jiang Tang.

The little guy frowned and made up his mind, "Brother, I will sleep alone starting tomorrow."

Qin Xiao's voice was calm, "Really?"

Hearing his brother's disbelief, the little guy patted his chest and assured, "Really, I can sleep by myself."

"And grow tall."

My brother is taller than my sister-in-law at the age of four. He is so amazing.

He also wants to be like his brother.

Qin Xiao responded in a low voice.

He patted his brother's head with satisfaction and said calmly, "Go to sleep."

Qin Chuyang blinked his eyes and fell asleep obediently in a daze. He didn't understand why his brother woke him up in the middle of the night, but he was very obedient.

The little girl fell asleep in a short while. Qin Xiao turned over, held the little girl in his arms, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The next morning, Jiang Tang woke up, tied her hair into a ponytail, then opened the door and walked out of the house.

Qin Xiao hasn't left yet.

Jiang Tang looked at him, yawned, and said softly, "I'm going to the city to buy some things later. You take me there."

Qin Xiao responded and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to buy?"

Jiang Tang walked up to him and said casually, "Nothing. Didn't you say you would take me to Pengcheng later? I want to see if there are any books here. Let me take a look first."

If Qin Xiao really took her there, although she knew some styles, she couldn't tell them and would be stage frightened.

"I don't know if there is such a book in Pengcheng."

Qin Xiao whispered, "There's none in Pengcheng, I wonder if I can find it in a used bookstore."

Jiang Tang frowned, feeling a little embarrassed, and thought of her adoptive parents in the capital. They should be able to buy it, but she didn't want to trouble them.

The little girl held her face in her hands, her expression twisted, and then she sighed and said, "I'll go to the second-hand bookstore first."

Qin Xiao whispered, "No need, I'll have someone bring you some books from Pengcheng."

Jiang Tang tilted his head and looked at Qin Xiao, "Do you have friends in Pengcheng?"

"Not a friend, but a future partner. I think he can get the book."

He stared at the girl in front of him and said, "It's not a bad thing for our partners that we are more professional."

Jiang Tang nodded, "Okay, but I'll go to the bookstore first. It would be nice if I could find a good book in a used bookstore. I'll take a look at it first."

The little girl insisted, and Qin Xiao did not stop her and responded softly.

After the family finished their meal, Qin Xiao drove Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang to the city and dropped them off at the door of the bookstore.

Qin Xiao whispered, "I'll come pick you up in two hours. Will I be able to make it in time?"

Jiang Tang nodded and looked at the small bookstore in front of him. "There's still time. Go get busy first."

Qin Xiao nodded and drove away.

Jiang Tang took Qin Chuyang into the second-hand bookstore.

After entering the bookstore, Jiang Tang looked at the old programming books in the bookstore. He could read them all at a glance. The books were piled up on the bookshelves, and many books were piled directly on the ground. The books at the bottom were already rotten, and he could smell the smell of rotten books at the tip of his nose.

The boss is an old man who looks to be in his sixties or seventies.

When he saw Jiang Tang come in, he ignored her and let Jiang Tang flip through the book by herself.

Jiang Tang didn't want to disturb him when he first came in, so he decided to look for it himself to see if he could find it on his own.

She started from the outside and searched for the books one by one. The little boy followed her, squinting his eyes and looking along with her.

Jiang Tang searched for a long time, sighed, and then turned to look at the boss who was sitting and reading a book. He said politely in a low voice, "Boss, do you have any books on fashion design in this bookstore?"

The boss didn't even look at her and said in a deep voice, "It's the third from the last on the second shelf."

Jiang Tang blinked, looked over as the boss said, and then saw the name of the book.

—《New Clothing》

She immediately pulled the book out carefully. Fortunately, although the book was a little old, it was intact.

Jiang Tang thanked the boss gratefully, asked the price and paid him.

The boss never glanced at her from beginning to end, yet he knew exactly where every book was. Jiang Tang admired him in her heart.

After giving the money, he took the kid out.

There should be some time now, so she went to the mall first and bought some cloth, and then looked at it according to the book.

After buying the fabric, it was almost time. Jiang Tang came out of the mall and saw Qin Xiao waiting for her at the door. She pulled Qin Chuyang over and walked to Qin Xiao's side.

Looking at the cloth and a book in the little girl's hands, Qin Xiao took them and put them in the car, waiting for Jiang Tang and Qin Chuyang to get in.

Then I drove them home.

Qin Xiao didn't stay at home for long before returning to the factory.

Jiang Tang placed all the cloth and books in the room.

Then I saw the young man staggeringly carrying a basin of water, pushing open the door of the next room and walking in.

Jiang Tang blinked, not understanding what was going on, and followed the kid into the house with some curiosity.

I saw the kid climbing onto the bed with a puff of noise, wiping the bed vigorously with the wet towel in his hand.

The bed in this room hadn't been slept in for a long time, and Jiang Tang had already put away all the quilts.

She walked in and whispered, "Chuyang, what are you doing?"

Qin Chuyang rolled up his sleeves, took a moment to glance at Jiang Tang, and spoke to himself, "Sister-in-law, I need to clean the bed."

Jiang Tang's lips twitched. Looking at the boy's efforts, he walked over and took the towel from his hand. "Why do you want to wipe it clean?"

Qin Chuyang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Jiang Tang was puzzled, but he couldn't just watch Qin Chuyang do it alone because he was a small guy and really clumsy.

She took a towel and wiped the bed, then stood up and looked at the kid, "Okay, let's go, Chuyang."

Qin Chuyang tilted his head back and shook it.

"Sister-in-law, I want to make the bed."

Jiang Tang frowned, "What are you doing here, Chuyang? Tell your sister-in-law that she will help you."

Qin Chuyang looked at his sister-in-law and blinked his big eyes, "Sister-in-law, can you really help me?"

Jiang Tang laughed, amused by the boy, "Then sister-in-law will make the bed for you first, and you can tell me, okay?"

The young man still doesn't trust her, Jiang Tang is helpless.

The boy now consciously walked to the side. After Jiang Tang had made the bed, he took the water that had just been used to clean the bed and poured it out.

The young guy followed behind Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang was sitting on a chair, and he came over and held Jiang Tang with his little hands.

"Okay, Chuyang, tell your sister-in-law what you want to do?"

Qin Chuyang raised his face and smiled brightly, "Sister-in-law, will Chuyang sleep alone from now on?"

Jiang Tang blinked and pinched the boy's face, "Chuyang wants to sleep alone?"

What does it mean? It can't be what she understands!

The young man nodded his head affirmatively, "Yeah!"

Qin Chuyang counted on his little hand, and put four little fingers in front of Jiang Tang, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang is four years old, he needs to sleep alone!"

If he doesn't sleep alone, he won't grow taller!

The little guy did seem to have mentioned several times that he wanted to sleep alone.

But the problem was quite serious. There were only two beds in their house. If the kid slept by himself, she would have to sleep in the same bed with Qin Xiao!

Jiang Tang still feels a little uncomfortable when he recalls the memory of that night in the hotel.

She tried to dissuade Qin Chuyang from thinking this, "Well, Chuyang, four years old is still young."

She stood up and used her hand to measure the height of the little guy, casually measuring it on her thigh, and coaxed softly, "Look, Chuyang, you have just come to your sister-in-law's place now. When you grow a little taller, we Chuyang will sleep by ourselves."

!!! The little guy's eyes widened.

Then he shook his head desperately and looked up at Jiang Tang, "No, sister-in-law, I want to sleep alone."

He said sadly, "Sister-in-law, when my brother was four years old, he was taller than you. Chuyang is not as tall as you."

The boy's voice was soft and sticky, but Jiang Tang wondered if he had heard it wrongly.

Qin Xiao?

A four-year-old is taller than her?!

That man must have changed when he was four years old.

Jiang Tang stared at the kid, a little speechless, "Chuyang, who told you that your brother was taller than sister-in-law at the age of four?"

Who is Qin Xiao looking down on?

Qin Chuyang frowned, "Sister-in-law, Chuyang wants to sleep alone."

The little guy said this while pulling her trouser legs with his little hands.

Jiang Tang sighed, "Wait until your brother, who is taller than your sister-in-law at the age of four, comes back, and then ask him if he agrees or not, okay?"

Qin Chuyang immediately cheered.

In the evening, Qin Xiao came back. Jiang Tang heard the sound of the speaker in the studio. He asked the boy to open the door and shouted, "Qin Chuyang, your brother who is four years taller than your sister-in-law is back. Go open the door."

The young man responded and ran to open the door happily.

After Jiang Tang finished cooking the last dish, she saw the man come in after washing his hands.

She curled her lips and said in a sinister tone, "Please ask Qin Xiao, who is four years taller than me, to bring out the dishes."

Qin Xiao: ...

The man went to serve the dishes while he remained silent.

Jiang Tang snorted softly.

At the dinner table, Qin Chuyang looked at Qin Xiao with a smile on his face, "Brother, I will sleep alone from now on!"

Qin Xiao glanced at the expressionless little girl, coughed lightly, and responded softly.

Jiang Tang frowned and turned to look at Qin Xiao, "You agreed?"

Qin Xiao didn't look at the little girl and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you agree?"

Why don't you agree?

Does she need to say this? The little guy sleeps alone, so they have to sleep together, right?

What's wrong with this man? Is he stupid?

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, stared at the little guy who was cheering for joy, and said nothing.

The kid was in a state of extreme excitement the whole night. Jiang Tang was so happy to see that the kid could sleep by himself, so he frowned but said nothing.

After taking a shower, I went back to my room.

After Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang finished taking a shower, they took the little guy to the kid's room and watched his brother climb into bed by himself.

The culprit actually felt some sympathy and whispered, "If you are afraid, go to the next door to find your brother."

The little guy obediently covered himself with the quilt, rubbed his head and shook it, "Brother, I'm not afraid!"

Qin Xiao rubbed the kid's head and said softly, "Qin Chuyang, do you want to sleep with the lights on or off?"

The little guy blinked and said, "Brother, turn on the light and go to sleep."

Qin Xiao: ...

"Yeah." He glanced at his brother who closed his eyes, turned and left the room.

When Jiang Tang saw Qin Xiao coming in alone, his heart skipped a beat. Then he remembered what happened during the day. He suppressed his nervousness and couldn't help but speak, "At the age of four, he's already taller than me."

Qin Xiao: ...

Listening to the little girl's strange voice, Qin Xiao paused, twitched the corners of his lips slightly, turned around and slammed the door.

Jiang Tang's heart trembled as he stared at the man walking towards him step by step.

Qin Xiao walked to the bedside with great strides, his tall figure leaned over to cover her, bent over and stared at the little girl, his voice low and magnetic, "Well, when I was four, I was taller than you were when you were four."

Is that what you mean? This guy is a liar.

She rolled her eyes at the man in front of her.

Then he whispered, "Chu Yang really sleeps alone? Isn't he afraid?"

Qin Xiao coughed lightly and said, "It's okay. I left the light on for him. If he gets scared, he'll scream."

Jiang Tang looked up at the man in front of him, frowned and said, "You are not my biological brother."

Why doesn't this guy seem worried at all? He seems to be in a good mood.

The kid is so well behaved, how could he have such a bad brother?

The man stared at Jiang Tang and whispered, "He's my brother."

His voice was low, "I have been sleeping alone since I was four years old."

Jiang Tang looked at the man in front of her indifferently, always feeling itchy in her heart for some unknown reason.

She turned over and slept on the inside of the bed, leaving most of the space for the man beside her.

Qin Xiao turned around and turned on the light before going to bed.

Lying next to the girl.

Jiang Tang leaned sideways, wishing he could pass through the wall to get close to the kid.

She regretted it. She shouldn't have agreed to lie with this man whose hands were not hands and feet were not feet.

"Jiang Tang, I won't eat you."

"Who knows?" Jiang Tang said reflexively. After saying this, he swallowed softly and patted his lips.

Qin Xiao stared at the darkness, his throat rolling. Yes, who knows.

He doesn't even know it himself.

The man stared at the dim beams and waited slowly. Time passed very slowly. It was unknown how much time had passed before Jiang Tang's tense body slowly relaxed and his breathing gradually became regular.

Qin Xiao twitched the corners of his lips, moved his palm to the side, touched the girl's tender fingertips, gently held them in his hand, entwined them, and rubbed them slowly and tenderly.

Then he held the girl in his arms, his hands completely restraining the girl's waist. He swallowed, rubbed the tip of his nose against the girl's delicate earlobe, and laughed magnetically and unrestrainedly.
