Chapter 176 You are young and tender, and I feel itchy when I see you
When Doctor Hu left the Northwest Camp, he had no choice but to walk back slowly.
He also acted as a messenger for Xu Yu.
Xu Minghui didn't know what exactly Xu Yu asked Doctor Hu to take back and give to Chen Nianhe.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Nianhe got the things, he did not pursue the matter of them trespassing into the Northwest Camp. Doctor Hu also lived a very comfortable life after returning and was not troubled at all.
This does not fit in with Chen Nianhe's vengeful character.
Xu Minghui felt something was wrong.
He looked at Xu Yu suspiciously: "What did you ask Doctor Hu to take back?"
Xu Yu opened the envelope in his hand and said calmly, "You don't need to know."
Xu Minghui curled his lips into a smile, his eyes gleaming coldly: "So I'm just a runner for nothing?"
"Yes."
Xu Yu took out a copper coin and placed it in Xu Minghui's trembling hand, saying casually, "It's not a wasted trip. Use it to buy some candy."
Xu Minghui: “…”
Use backhand and lose.
"You bastard!"
Xu Yu was too lazy to listen to the nonsense he was talking about. He put away the things in his hands, turned into the yard, and threw the envelope into the stove behind him.
The flames leaped up and burned out. Xu Yu heard the sound of approaching footsteps and said calmly, "I'm going out the day after tomorrow. You wait for me in the city."
Xu Minghui sneered angrily: "Why should I listen to you?"
"You took my money but didn't listen to me. What are you thinking?"
Xu Minghui was so angry that he wanted to smash the copper coin at Xu Yu's face. The voice of Aunt Xu Er saved Xu Yu who was almost hit by the copper coin.
"Minghui, come over and try these shoes on. If they don't fit, I'll alter them for you overnight so you can wear them tomorrow."
Xu Minghui bared his teeth at the shameless Xu Yu and his face turned ashen, but when he turned to look at Second Aunt Xu, he smiled gracefully, gently, modestly and politely.
"Mom, didn't I tell you not to make these for me? I have enough clothes to wear, so it's okay if you don't do it."
"We are all children of the family. How could everyone have a single and leave you out?"
Xu Wenxiu said with a smile, "Go in with your mother and try it out. No matter what you do when you go out, you should dress respectably. You can't let yourself be wronged here."
After the old man recovered from his illness, without waiting for the old lady to speak, she took the initiative to return the account books and silver that had been forcibly taken away to the three sisters-in-law.
There was extra money in the account, and it happened to be the change of seasons, so they discussed it and decided to make a set of seasonal clothes for everyone in the family, including one for each of the younger children.
It’s just that Xu Minghui just came back today, otherwise he would have changed it a long time ago.
Xu Minghui smiled gently and followed him.
Xu Yu stirred the firewood in the stove with a stick, and only got up and went into the house after making sure that the envelopes were all burned.
In the west shed, Sang Zhixia was staring at a small handful of raspberries wrapped in a handkerchief and smiling to herself.
"Is this the baby you're talking about?"
The wild raspberries are no bigger than a finger, each one is purple-red, and the skin is so tender that it wrinkles and breaks when touched. It is a wild fruit that is extremely difficult to deal with.
However, none of the flowers wrapped in the handkerchief had any skin broken, and they looked so fresh that they seemed to be still hanging on the branches.
Xu Yu picked up one and motioned for her to open her mouth: "Ah."
Sang Zhixia opened her mouth and took a bite. The sweet and sour juice oozed out of the broken peel, which was so sweet that her eyebrows raised with joy.
“This one is sweet.”
“Of course this is sweet.”
Xu Yu groaned, his face full of amusement: "This is the ripest branch. It's only thanks to its height that the children in the village couldn't reach it, so it's been preserved until now. You have no idea how many drooling children chased me away when I broke off this branch and carried it home."
"The saliva that was spreading all the way was about to overflow the river."
Sang Zhixia bit another one and fell over laughing. She mumbled, "Did you share it with others?"
Xu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Indifferent."
"You haven't even had this popular food at home, why did you let those guys have it for free?"
He grabbed the raspberries and slowly put them into Sang Zhixia's mouth. Seeing a hint of rose red on the corners of her lips, her eyes moved and she lowered her head to take a nibble.
"Are you a little kid? You stained your mouth after eating some fruit?"
Sang Zhixia covered the corner of her mouth that had been bitten and glared: "Can't you grow up? You're so old and still biting people?"
"I don't bite anyone."
Xu Yu curled his fingers and slid them across the tip of Sang Zhixia's nose, his eyes teasing, "Other people are not as fresh and tender as you, so I really can't eat them."
"You are so young, your teeth itch when you see it."
Sang Zhixia: "..."
Thank you.
A small handful of carefully selected wild raspberries was not much, so Sang Zhixia pried open Xu Yu's mouth, and they took one each and soon finished all of them.
It was rare for Xu Yu to have nothing to do, so he lazily fell down and leaned on Sang Zhixia's legs, closing his eyes and said, "Zhizhi, I have to go out the day after tomorrow, and I may not be back for three or five days."
Sang Zhixia paused and said nothing. Xu Yu took the initiative to speak: "Remember Chen Nianhe we mentioned last time? I'll go see him."
Xu Yu's concealment from Sang Zhixia was selective.
If Sang Zhixia could guess something, he would not hide it from her unless it was too shameful.
Hiding too much is not conducive to promoting the relationship between husband and wife.
Speaking of Chen Nianhe, Sang Zhixia recalled the wicked past in which Xu Yu beat someone else's son into a cripple.
She looked at Xu Yu with complicated eyes: "Will I get beaten if I go?"
Xu Yu smiled.
"Every time Chen Nianhe saw his son's limp, he probably wanted my head, but he really didn't dare to lay a hand on me this time."
Xu Yu grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand and squeezed it. Seeing the calluses on his palm, his eyes became dim.
He had to do all the rough work, such as planting rice in the fields.
The originally delicate hands gradually became rough, and in his eyes they were like silent knives, each of their sharp points piercing the softest part of his heart.
Xu Yu gently stroked the calluses worn from rough work, his voice hoarse, "Zhizhi, does it hurt?"
Sang Zhixia looked puzzled.
"Why does it hurt?"
"Getting calluses is a good thing, isn't it?"
Without calluses to block it, blisters would easily form and cause pain.
Xu Yu smiled silently and stopped talking. Sang Zhixia thought about it and decided to believe him.
This guy talks a lot, but the promises he makes are the truth.
Believe him.
Sang Zhixia pulled her hand away, pinched Xu Yu's handsome face like she was kneading dough, and said, "Then be careful, don't come back with a black eye like Mingyang."
When talking about Xu Mingyang's tragic battle, Xu Yu had a dull look on his face, looking disappointed.
"That stupid thing is no good."
At Xu Mingyang's age, he was already invincible among his peers in Kyoto, while Xu Mingyang could only be beaten if he went out.
Sang Zhixia made a subtle sound of "tsk tsk!" and was about to push him up when Xu Mingyang's excited voice rang out from outside the door: "Sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, I brought you some delicious food!"
Delicious?
Sang Zhixia turned away Xu Yu, who looked dissatisfied, and pushed the door open. She was so amused to see Xu Mingyang covered in mud.
"Oh, you look like you're fighting again today?"
