Ye Weiwei understood, and touched Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia who looked nervous, saying, "This is called chocolate. It's a foreign candy, not medicine. If you don't want to eat it, your aunt will give you other candies."
These were bought in the foreign guests' dining car on the train back. She bought extra for Little Star because she saw he liked them.
Although Xiaoqiu saw her grandmother eat chocolate, she still refused to eat the bitter candy.
Seeing Xiao Qiu like this, Xiao Xingxing ran back to Ye Weiwei's side and tightly grabbed Ye Weiwei's clothes, looking at Ye Weiwei anxiously: "Auntie, did I do something wrong? I'm sorry."
Ye Weiwei patted Little Star's head and asked, "Why did Little Star give them chocolate?"
The little star lowered its head: "Because this is my favorite candy, and I heard the uncle on the train say that chocolate is very, very expensive."
He only wanted to become friends with them and get along well, which is why he took out his favorite candy to share. He wouldn't have been willing to share it with anyone else.
“Then you didn’t do anything wrong and don’t need to apologize.” Ye Weiwei picked up Xiaoxing and patiently explained, “Xiaoqiu is just not used to the taste of chocolate and thought it was Chinese medicine, so she was sad. It’s not because she doesn’t like you.”
Little Star's expression visibly relaxed.
Xiaoshan stepped forward, took Xiaoxing's hand, held up the half-eaten chocolate, and said, "The chocolate is delicious."
Not to be outdone, Xiao Chuan grabbed Xiao Xingxing's other hand and said, "It's delicious."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Qiu and sighed in a mature and worldly manner, "Women are such a hassle!"
"puff!"
Liu Guilan, Su Xuemei, and Ye Weiwei couldn't help but laugh at his unexpected remark.
Seeing everyone laughing, Xiao Chuan proudly shook his little tuft of hair and said to Xiao Xingxing, "Little brother, you say it too."
Little Star looked at Xiao Chuan with confusion, "What did you say?"
Xiaochuan immediately shared his experience with him: "Learn from your older brother. Just say whatever your older brother says."
Little Star nodded, feeling dizzy.
Xiao Chuan encouraged him again: "Little brother, say it!"
Little Star was still confused. "What did you say?"
Xiao Chuan exclaimed impatiently, hands on his hips, "Women are such a hassle!"
Didn't you see that Grandma, Mom, and Auntie laughed when he said that?
Little Star frowned: "But that's impolite."
Xiao Chuan blinked and looked at his grandmother, only to find that she had stopped smiling. Then he looked at his mother and found that she had stopped smiling too. He didn't dare to look at his aunt and quietly tugged at his brother's arm: "Brother?"
Xiao Shan, being the clever little devil he is, stuffed the remaining half of the chocolate into his mouth, then grabbed one of them with each hand and ran outside: "Let's go out and find Da Niu and the others to play!"
Then, grabbing her two younger brothers, she disappeared in a flash.
Liu Guilan shouted in the direction they left, "Xiaoshan, take good care of your younger brothers!"
"Okay, milk!"
Su Xuemei was both amused and exasperated: "These two little rascals, I don't know where they learned all this nonsense from, don't let them corrupt Little Star too!"
Ye Weiwei said nonchalantly, "Children this age are just being mischievous; let them play by themselves."
It's a good thing that Little Star has his own playmates, which will help him get out of the shadow of farm life as soon as possible.
The three girls, Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, and Xiaoqiu, are much more well-behaved.
Huo Jiang's injury this time also frightened them. After Huo Jiang returned, Ye Weiwei saw Xiao Chun secretly wiping away tears. Then she ran around getting things for Huo Jiang. When it was time to eat, she would first send the food to Huo Jiang's room. She also told her younger sister Xia Xia to keep an eye on Xiao Qiu and not to make a fuss or disturb their father's recovery. She was acting like a little housekeeper.
Ye Weiwei distributed the gifts her second brother had asked her to bring back one by one, and also told her in-laws about the situation there, only saying what she could say and what sounded nice.
Liu Guilan was relieved to hear from Ye Weiwei that her family was doing well over there. Seeing that Ye Weiwei had brought back so many things, all gifts from her in-laws, she said that they had gone to so much trouble, and after some polite refusals, she accepted them.
Ye Weiwei told her mother-in-law and sister-in-law about her job at the county hospital. They were overjoyed to hear that Ye Weiwei only needed to work a few days a month to get paid, and they praised her for being capable.
Huo Xiao and his older brother Huo Hai moved the things they brought back to the new house, then tidied up and heated the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) before picking up Ye Weiwei and Xiao Xingxing.
Upon learning that Xiaoxing had gone to play with Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan, he told them to take Xiaoxing there when they returned, and then he took his wife home first.
After being away for so many days, Ye Weiwei finally returned home and relaxed a lot.
When Huo Xiao boiled a large tub of hot water and called her to take a bath, Ye Weiwei was already dozing off by the kang (a heated brick bed), her little head nodding off.
Huo Xiao woke her up, and Ye Weiwei looked at the large bathtub in the next room and asked in surprise, "When did we get this thing in our house?"
Huo Xiao said, "I had Dad help me with this before I went to the Northwest, so it'll be convenient for you to take a shower. The hot water is all mixed up for you, so hurry up and take a shower to relax."
Ye Weiwei said happily, "That's great! I was just worried about taking a bath."
She had considered converting one of the many side rooms in the house into a bathroom for easier bathing, but she hadn't had the chance, and now that it's cold, it's not convenient.
Although she can take a shower in the space, she can't keep doing this forever.
Unexpectedly, Huo Xiao had already considered this.
Ye Weiwei happily kissed Huo Xiao on the cheek, "Thank you, husband!"
Huo Xiao's breath hitched. "Go take a shower quickly, don't catch a cold."
After taking a long, refreshing shower, Ye Weiwei lay down in the warm bed, feeling extremely comfortable.
that is……
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, a huge mountain pressed down on her.
Huo Xiao's breath was scalding hot. Ye Weiwei subconsciously tried to dodge, but her head was grabbed by a large hand, and the scalding breath went straight into her body.
"daughter in law……"
Huo Xiao's deep, intoxicating voice sent a shiver down Ye Weiwei's spine, "Be careful, it's broad daylight..."
Huo Xiao rubbed Ye Weiwei's cheek with his thumb. "It's just the two of us at home. Besides, we live here, so even if you shout loudly, no one can hear you."
Ye Weiwei blushed. "What you're saying sounds weird, like lines from a villain bullying an innocent woman."
Huo Xiao: ...
"Then just treat me as a bad guy."
After saying that, he hurriedly took off his clothes that were in the way and kissed him hard.
...
When Ye Weiwei woke up again, she found that it was already dark.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, along with the sounds of Huo Xiao and Xiao Xingxing talking.
She stretched her sore body, and just as she was about to get up, she heard the door open. Huo Xiao smiled and said, "You're awake? Get up quickly, Xiao Xingxing and I are waiting for you to eat together."
