Chapter 054: People should have such qualities
After dinner, Xie Jian went to give his nephew medicine.
Xia was cleaning the kitchen.
Chen Heng went to prepare the quilt. It was not easy for her to live alone in the room. It had only been a few days and they had to share a bed again.
At this moment, Xia's voice came from the yard: "Is it snowing?"
Chen Heng hurried out to take a look, and sure enough, the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was now covered in snowflakes.
Seeing my sister-in-law carrying a pile of straw from the woodshed to cover the vegetable jars in the yard, I hurried forward and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
When Xie Jian came out of his nephew's room, he saw two women busy in the yard. The eldest sister-in-law's expression was no longer as bitter and anxious as before, and her brows were no longer tightly furrowed. She smiled at Shen Heng from time to time, and Shen Heng's hands and feet were much more nimble.
This yard seems to have a different atmosphere.
"Xie Jian, what are you looking at?" Shen Heng saw the boy standing at the door watching them quietly and shouted, "Go to the woodshed and chop some firewood."
Xie Jian was stunned.
Xia subconsciously wanted to take charge of the matter. How could a scholar do things in a rational way? He should just study. But then she thought, if Ajian didn't do it and she was busy, the matter would fall on her sister-in-law again, so she didn't say anything.
"Go ahead." Shen Heng urged.
For this kind of strenuous work, a man can do more in half an hour than a woman can in an hour.
Since she has been integrated into the Xie family, Chen Heng can come as she pleases. And now that the whole family knows what kind of personality she has, there is no need to pretend.
"Oh." Xie Jian responded and went to the woodshed to chop firewood.
Chen Heng followed her sister-in-law and got some straw to cover the vegetables in the backyard to prevent them from freezing. There were only one or two varieties of vegetables in winter.
By the time I finished, it was already very late.
When Shen Heng entered the room and sat down to rest, she saw Xie Jian coming in with a bucket of hot water. She saw him scoop the hot water into the foot-soaking bucket and bring it to her.
Chen Heng blinked. This boy had only carried buckets for her before, but this was the first time he had served her right at her feet. So, she would not be polite.
After soaking for an incense stick of time, she felt her whole body warm. Then she dried her feet. Shen Heng looked at Xie Jian who was copying books with anticipation: "I'm going to take a shower."
Xie Jian turned his head and gave her a cold look before continuing to copy the book.
Chen Heng: "..." Oh, she was overthinking it.
After pouring the water, Shen Heng was about to lie down comfortably on the bed when she saw Xie Jian holding something and looking at it: "Why did you bring the seal that Wang Nei Shi gave to Min'er?"
"Why did Eunuch Wang give Min'er the seal?"
"Min'er recognized him as his grandfather, and this is a gift for meeting him." My sister-in-law mentioned this on the way.
Xie Jian glanced at her. When Min'er was tied up, this woman guessed Xie Changgen's intention just because Wang Nei Shi said that he liked Min'er in the academy. How could she become so stupid now?
After this incident, he told himself to be more suspicious about everything and not to miss even a small detail. Only in this way could he think comprehensively. Min'er was just a child. This jade looked ordinary, but it felt warm in his hand, and he could tell at a glance that it was a top-grade jade.
