Qiao Xiaoni had just finished kneading a bowl of dough and returned to the small house intending to lie down for a while. When she entered the house, she saw Su Chenhao sitting on the folding bed.
"When did you go back to the cabin? I didn't know?" Qiao Xiaoni sat down next to him.
"I just came in a little while ago. Are you done with what you were doing outside?" Su Chenhao casually pulled the other person into his arms. As the two became more and more intimate, this had become a habitual action.
Leaning lazily against him, Qiao Xiaoni said, "I only kneaded one bowl of dough; the rest is up to my sister-in-law and Ma Yulan."
"Nizi, I plan to go back to the village in a couple of days. I've made some progress on my background. I'm planning to go back and meet someone to find out what really happened back then."
"No wonder you looked so strange. Maybe I can help you if I go back with you?"
Don't forget I have a secret weapon; even if he doesn't say it, I can know what he's thinking.
Thinking of the jade pendant on her body, the mystery of whether Su Chenhao and Fu Chen were related was soon revealed. Rumor had it that he wore a mask because he was disfigured. Such a handsome face—under what circumstances could it have been disfigured? Unfortunately, she didn't know much.
Su Chenhao nodded: "Okay, then come back with me. There are some things I really want to understand. Why was my dad adopted by my grandfather? What happened in between? I'm not investigating my origins to claim my ancestry, but to find out the truth so I can burn some paper money for my dad at his grave and tell him everything."
Qiao Xiaoni looked up into his eyes and said, "Yes, I support you in doing this. It's better to clarify some things."
"Second Uncle, where did you go yesterday? Didn't you come to the restaurant for dinner?" Tao Chunfang's cheerful voice came from outside, loud enough to be deliberately made.
It broke the tranquility inside the room.
Qiao Xiaoni stood up and straightened her clothes: "The big fish is about to take the bait, let's go out and cooperate."
Su Chenhao stood up: "If he really does that, your dad will definitely be very sad."
Qiao Xiaoni brushed a stray hair from her forehead: "It's better to have a short pain than a long one. We'll be heading to Kyushu in ten days. Rather than leaving a time bomb, it's better to eliminate it now, so that I won't be unable to come back later."
"You're right, it's better to solve it now than when it happens." Su Chenhao casually tidied up the bed and then went out with him.
Qiao Haixing was already sitting in his designated seat, wolfing down his noodles.
Qiao Haisheng and Qiao Dashan went out to buy things and haven't returned yet. Xiao Xiaoshan went to deliver food and won't be back for a while.
Tao Chunfang served another plate of cold dishes on the table.
"Second Uncle, you can eat what's left over from today. If you want more noodles, just call me."
"Go ahead and do your work!" Qiao Haixing was so engrossed in eating his noodles that he didn't even look up.
Qiao Xiaoni said to Tao Chunfang, "Sister-in-law, Chenhao and I are going to the supply and marketing cooperative to order flour for next month. You can study the secret recipe I gave you this morning in the kitchen, and if you get tired, go back to your room and rest for a while."
Anyway, your second uncle is here to keep an eye on things; he'll call you if anything happens.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of things at the shop!" Tao Chunfang replied with a smile, secretly wondering if her second uncle would really steal the secret recipe. She hoped that Nizi was overthinking it; if he really did steal it, then they would no longer be family.
