Chapter 164: Reciprocity
“It’s a piece of cake.”
Perhaps because he was too excited, Bai Jiachun forgot himself a little. He held Xie Yunshu's hand and expressed his gratitude for nearly half an hour.
Xie Yunshu: ...
No need to do that!
Bai Xiaoan couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled his father away:
"Dad, you'll scare Brother Xie like this!"
Bai Jiachun then realized his own misconduct, and quickly let go of his hand, smiling awkwardly at Xie Yunshu:
"I'm really sorry, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself."
Xie Yunshu pursed his lips and shook his head expressionlessly: "It's okay, I've delivered the things, I'll leave first."
As soon as Xie Yunshu left, Bai Jiachun grabbed his daughter's hand tightly and said anxiously:
"Did you tell Manman that we have no food at home? We can't ask for it for free. Send the money over later."
Bai Xiaoan shook his head, looked at the cart of food in the yard, and explained:
"Manman was the first to speak up. I didn't even know there was a food shortage at home!"
During that time, she was depressed and indifferent to anything happening in the outside world.
Her parents always reported good news but not bad news, and seldom told her about worries at home. They always greeted her with a smile and never showed any sadness in front of her.
When he thought of this, Bai Xiaoan's eyes dimmed, his expression collapsed, and he said weakly:
"Dad, I'm not a good daughter. I only cause trouble for you and mom."
Seeing this, Bai Jiachun held his daughter in his arms, patted her back, and comforted her softly:
"No matter what, you are your parents' good daughter, and you will be for the rest of your life. No matter where you are, your mother and I will always be there waiting for you, so that you can have a home to return to!"
"dad!"
Bai Xiaoan's voice was choked with sobs and he cried bitterly in his father's arms.
"Alright, alright! Stop crying. It's winter now and your eyes will freeze if you cry."
Bai Jiachun coaxed his daughter half-jokingly.
“Puff~”
Bai Xiaoan was amused and laughed out loud. He raised his head from Bai Jiachun's arms, revealing his red eyes. His nose was also red from the cold, and he looked particularly pitiful.
This really distressed Bai Jiachun, the old father. He gently brushed Bai Xiaoan's delicate face with his rough, calloused hands and said:
"My dear daughter, don't cry!"
"Um!"
Bai Xiaoan burst into laughter and was so excited that he blew a bubble on his nose, which was very funny.
Thanks to Qi Man's help, Bai Xiaoan's family had enough to eat every meal. In just a few months, the little face became rounder.
If it is placed in summer or autumn, it may not grow much flesh.
But in the winter, people don’t have to go to work or work in the fields, and they don’t do much exercise. Most of the time, they just sit around the fire, warm themselves and chat, so they gain some weight.
Bai Jiachun secretly gave his own grain to those families in need.
San San reported promptly and always added a little more food every time he delivered it without making a fuss.
Bai Jiachun looked at the large cart of grain and fell into self-doubt.
"Dad, it's freezing cold. Why are you sitting outside in the yard alone? What if you catch a cold?"
Bai Xiaoan was worried because his father hadn't come into the house for a long time, so he came out to check.
As a result, he saw his old father sitting at the door, staring blankly at a large cart of grain in the yard.
Bai Jiachun frowned: "I don't know if I am having an illusion, why do I feel that the food is getting more and more!"
When Xie Yunshu delivered it before, there were always some gaps, but now it is completely stuffed full, without even a gap to be seen, and there is even overflow.
Bai Xiaoan suddenly understood and said:
"Could it be that Manman discovered that you were secretly using our food to help the villagers?"
Bai Jiachun's face suddenly turned stern: "How is this possible! I always deliver food secretly. Manman stays at home all day, how could she find out that I am delivering food?"
Every time he stole food, he would make sure that there was no one around before sending it out.
He guaranteed with his character that absolutely no one saw it!
Now, one person daydreaming under the eaves turned into two people thinking under the eaves.
Xiao An's mother came out with this simple and honest scene, and was amused by this pair of funny people:
"What are you two doing outside in such a cold weather? If you catch a cold, don't blame me for scolding you."
"Mom, Dad and I feel that the food Manman has sent is getting more and more each time. Please go over and take a look!"
Now there were two people in a daze, and now there were three people in a daze under the eaves.
…
Qi Man had no idea that because of this small action, Bai Xiaoan's family of three had all fallen into a state of cerebellar atrophy.
The days in winter are nothing more than eating and sleeping. At night, I sleep very soundly while hugging Xie Yunshu, who is like a big warm stove.
This winter, Qi Man has unlocked a new way to use Xie Yunshu.
It is a natural big heater. Sleeping while hugging it has a calming and relaxing effect. It is more comfortable than sleeping in the sun!
So in winter, Xie Yunshu was almost always stuck at home by his young wife and couldn't go anywhere.
The resolute face also became fleshy and soft to the touch.
The handsome face that has become fleshy has also become a pastime for the young wife!
Qi Man always has a lot of fun playing and would give a kiss or two from time to time.
What Xie Yunshu found irritating was that every time the little woman lit a fire, she would not be responsible for putting it out. After teasing him, she would run away, just like a mouse, disappearing in a flash and impossible to catch.
This made Xie Yunshu very upset. He remembered that one night, he held the little girl in his arms and slapped Qi Man on the butt in frustration.
"Snap!"
The sound is neither loud nor soft.
Qi Man, who was having a lot of fun, was slapped unexpectedly. The smile on her face froze instantly, her little face turned red, and she angrily pulled Xie Yunshu's hand and bit it viciously.
There was a very clear series of small teeth marks on Xie Yunshu's wrist, arranged very neatly.
Seeing the little girl's flushed face, Xie Yunshu couldn't help but laugh out loud. He stretched out his hand and pinched Qi Man's hot little face, and said jokingly:
"I didn't expect my young wife to be shy!"
Qi Man: ...
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!
Qi Man, who was furious, rushed forward and threw Xie Yunshu onto the bed. She pouted, taking advantage of the situation, looking down at Xie Yunshu with her hands on her hips, and raised her head proudly:
"snort!"
Snorted coldly.
He turned Xie Yunshu over easily, patted her hips lightly, and grinned:
"It's a good thing to reciprocate!"
Xie Yunshu let the little girl act recklessly, but because of the amplitude of her movements, his doting eyes darkened. He turned over and took the initiative:
