Chapter 16 A dog's mouth can't produce ivory.



Zheng Laoliu rolled his eyes.

Knowing that Aunt Chen was praising her son, he was too lazy to argue with her.

Then, he looked intently at Wang Qian and asked, "Xiao Qian, are you sure you want to continue buying potatoes?"

"certainly!"

Wang Qian nodded, "To avoid wasting everyone's time, those who have already brought the potatoes can now be weighed."

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook and said to Lin Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, could you help me keep some accounts?"

"I?"

Lin Xiaoyu was somewhat apprehensive.

To be precise, it's inferiority complex.

She graduated from junior high school with decent grades, so keeping accounts wasn't difficult for her.

What she feared was that if she made a mistake, Wang Qian would take his anger out on her and think that she was more of a hindrance than a help.

However, when she heard what Wang Qian said next, she was almost moved to tears.

"My parents can't read, and I need to help carry the potatoes onto the scale. Only you can help me!"

Wang Qian looked at her with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

Lin Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little dazed.

In the past, if Wang Qian wanted her to do something, he would only order her to do it in an extremely impatient tone.

If you don't do it well, you'll face all sorts of ridicule.

But now,

Wang Qian was actually making a request to her.

"Oh, I forgot, you're about to give birth, it's really inconvenient to have such a big belly. I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of that."

Just as she was lost in thought, Wang Qian's apologetic voice came to her ears again, "Besides, it's cold outside now, you can't get cold, let me help you back inside to rest!"

As he spoke, Wang Qian quickly helped Lin Xiaoyu up.

"No, I can do it!"

Lin Xiaoyu snapped out of her daze and hurriedly took the notebook and pen from Wang Qian's hands. "Mom said that I still have at least a month before I give birth, so doing these things won't affect anything."

At this point, she lowered her head again and added in a low voice, "I'm just afraid I'll remember it wrong and you'll call me stupid again."

Xiaoyu, you're actually very smart!

Wang Qian reached out and patted Lin Xiaoyu's head, saying with shame, "It's just that I was too arrogant before and didn't know how to cherish you, which is why I treated you so badly."

"But from now on, I will never do it again. Can you forgive me?"

Lin Xiaoyu blinked, feeling dizzy and unreal.

"Oh, wait a minute!"

Wang Qian suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly walked towards the tractor.

Where are you going?

Lin Xiaoyu asked a question subconsciously.

Wang Qian did not answer. He went to the tractor, opened the toolbox, took out an exquisite box, and strode back.

"Xiaoyu, this is for you!"

Wang Qian handed the box to Lin Xiaoyu.

"What's this?"

Lin Xiaoyu asked subconsciously.

The box looked extremely precious, and she didn't even dare to reach out and take it, for fear of getting it dirty.

"I told you last night that I was going to buy you a gift!"

As Wang Qian opened the box, he said, "Since you're staying to help me with the accounts, I'll put this on you first; it'll keep you warm."

"You bought me a gift?"

Lin Xiaoyu was stunned.

Wang Qian did say that last night, but she didn't have any expectations.

She later said that she didn't need a gift; if Wang Qian really meant it, he could just buy the baby a set of clothes for the soon-to-be-born child.

At that time, Wang Qian did not offer many guarantees.

She thought that Wang Qian had tacitly agreed not to buy it.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qian not only remembered it, but actually bought it for her.

She suddenly felt like crying.

When she saw the fluffy scarf in the box, she covered her face with her hands and tears welled up in her eyes.

This scarf is exactly the same as the one worn by the female lead in a TV series.

For a long time, this kind of unattainable luxury has only existed in dreams.

But at this moment, it truly appeared before her.

"Xiaoyu, do you like it?"

Wang Qian took the scarf out of the box and prepared to put it on Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu suddenly came to her senses and subconsciously took a step back to avoid the scarf that Wang Qian was offering.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Wang Qian froze. "Don't you like this scarf?"

"Huh? No, no, no!"

Lin Xiaoyu waved her hands frantically, panicked, "It's not that I don't like it, I just... I just..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually became choked with sobs, until it became so weak that even she could not hear it.

This is the scarf she has always dreamed of, how could she not like it?

The reason she retreated was simply because happiness had come too suddenly, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

The most important point,

This scarf looks like a high-end item and must be very expensive. She felt that she was not worthy of it.

"If you like it, then put it on right away!"

This time, before Lin Xiaoyu could refuse again, Wang Qian forcibly put the scarf on her.

Lin Xiaoyu was at a loss.

But under Wang Qian's firm gaze, she forced herself to calm down and silently accepted his kindness.

"Th-thank you!"

After putting on the scarf, Lin Xiaoyu said this shyly.

"You're my wife, why are you being so polite with me? Do you treat me like an outsider?" Wang Qian said, somewhat displeased.

"Huh? I didn't..."

Lin Xiaoyu was a little flustered again.

"Alright, I was just kidding!"

Wang Qian gave a gentle smile and asked with concern, "Are you warm?"
