Qin Feng and Qin Ye returned that night, but Qin Xiaoxiao fell asleep before Mu Jin returned. By the time she woke up the next morning, the work bell had already rung once. Su Lu had just made breakfast for Qin Xiaoxiao and was about to wake her up.
"You're awake now, hurry up and eat. Are you going to work today? Or, how about we go shrimp catching together?"
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded while munching on a steamed bun, "Okay, I won't go today. I'll go to the river with you. Oh, and I'll go to my grandma's place later and call my brother."
Su Lu nodded, "Okay, then there's no need to rush. Eat slowly, and ask Grandpa for leave when we get to the old house."
In fact, both Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu felt a little guilty when they saw Qin Feng. They worked in the fields for work points only sporadically, and they couldn't earn many work points all year round. At the end of the year, they still had to share the grain with the villagers. If Qin Feng hadn't been the brigade leader, no matter how close the villagers in Qinjiagou were to Qin Xiaoxiao, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the gossip and resentful looks from most of them.
It's just that Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu are shameless. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have dared to get close to Qin Feng. But these two not only did they, they also kept making trouble for themselves.
When Qin Feng heard that Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to ask for leave again, he almost slapped her.
He patted his chest and told himself that this was his own niece, who was already in poor health. If he slapped her, she might lose half her life. Not only would he feel bad for his brother, but her parents would also chase him for miles.
"OK."
Qin Feng didn't waste any words and gritted his teeth to agree.
Can he disagree? Looking at the murderous look in Old Mrs. Qin's eyes, would he dare to say "no"?
I dare not.
Then I agree.
Anyway, my niece doesn't rely on work points for food.
When Old Mrs. Qin told him that his beloved eldest son and his newlywed eldest daughter-in-law were also taking the day off, Qin Feng almost fainted.
Why is one person taking leave, then two, then three? If everyone takes leave, who's going to work in the fields?
Qin Aiguo dusted himself off and said, "Let's go, let's get to work."
Qin Aiguo was a man of action; he got up and left as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing this, Qin Feng had no choice but to take Qin Aiguo, who hadn't worked in the fields for months, to the threshing ground.
Qin Ye and Su Lu took Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun to the river. Qin Xiaoxiao, knowing she couldn't catch crayfish, also brought a group of children from the village. Using the same old method, they traded two crayfish for a piece of candy, which made the children go crazy. They took off their clothes and jumped into the river like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
Today, Qin Xiaoxiao followed behind carrying three buckets. Su Yun had caught fish last year, but had never caught crayfish before. She stood by the river with curiosity, watching Qin Ye catch crayfish.
As it turned out, her husband was incredibly helpful; in no time at all, he caught more than a dozen crayfish and threw them into the bucket.
Su Lu was equally impressive, moving with incredible speed, no less than Qin Ye. Together, they quickly filled a bucket.
Yesterday, the children were also thrown into the bucket one by one. Qin Xiaoxiao told them to keep track of the number and just report the number to her later.
Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid that these children would fool her. She didn't care if there were one more or one less. Her main focus was on self-discipline, and she could also observe the children's character. Perhaps there would be a need to nurture them in the future.
In one morning, the group caught enough crayfish to fill three buckets. Qin Ye and Su Lu carried the buckets back to the Qin family home, and Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yun began to sit in the yard to wash them.
Seeing that he had nothing more to do, Qin Ye told his grandmother and then pulled Su Lu to go to work.
Su Lu didn't want to go and looked pitifully at his wife, but she was drooling over the crayfish and had no time to pay attention to him. So, no one could save him.
Grandma Qin brought lunch to the fields, not letting Su Lu go home to see his wife. Su Lu ate lunch unhappily, and then Qin Ye dragged him to water the fields.
After a busy afternoon, when he finished work in the evening and saw Qin Xiaoxiao standing at the door smiling to greet him, Su Lu rushed over, hugged Qin Xiaoxiao, and started crying.
"Honey, your brother bullied me. All afternoon, I carried water all afternoon. Look at my shoulders, they're all scraped."
Su Lu released Qin Xiaoxiao, turned to the side and pulled open her collar, revealing half of her shoulder for Qin Xiaoxiao to see.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked around and, seeing that no one was around, quickly pulled Su Lu into the courtyard.
"Honey, we can't let outsiders see our things. Keep them well covered up."
He reached out and pulled Su Lu's clothes up, then led her into the house.
Su Lu followed behind her, feeling wronged. After entering the house, seeing that Su Yun was not there, Su Lu once again tore open his clothes to show Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't stop him this time, but when she looked up, she saw that Su Luxue's white shoulder was red and swollen, and just as he said, the skin was broken.
Qin Xiaoxiao was heartbroken. She leaned over to Su Lu's shoulder and blew on it. "How did you get like this? Does it hurt? Here, let me blow on it for you, and I'll put some medicine on it later."
Qin Xiaoxiao blew out two breaths of fairy breath, and shamelessly asked Su Lu, "How is it? Doesn't hurt anymore?"
Qin Ye, who followed in, twitched his lips upon seeing this, looking as if he couldn't bear to watch.
Su Lu pouted and nodded, "Much better, wife, you're so good to me."
Qin Xiaoxiao also pouted and leaned close to Su Lu to kiss his lips, "Hmm, so pitiful!"
Su Lu returned the kiss with another kiss, "Wife~!"
Qin Ye was surprised to see Su Lu acting coquettishly with Qin Xiaoxiao. Seeing the two of them cuddling together as if no one else was around, he glared at Su Lu, then turned his face away and ignored them.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu didn't care about all that. Qin Xiaoxiao's reaction was subconscious, because she was used to this kind of open expression of emotion in later generations, while Su Lu was just shameless.
Seeing that the two were about to kiss again, Qin Ye quickly stopped them, "That's enough, there are still people here."
Su Lu's face darkened immediately when he failed to kiss his wife. "Brother, since you knew what we were going to do, why didn't you leave?"
Qin Ye was so angry he couldn't speak. Pointing at Su Lu's face, he trembled and said, "Where's your face? Did a dog lick it?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao objected, "Brother, what did you say? How can you insult me?"
Qin Ye was stunned and didn't recover for a long time.
After thinking for a long time, he finally understood what Qin Xiaoxiao meant, rolled his eyes, and turned to leave.
He couldn't stay with those two shameless people any longer; he was afraid he'd be corrupted.
As soon as Qin Ye left, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu snuggled together again. First, she applied medicine to Su Lu, then blew a few breaths of magic on him, said all sorts of nice things, and laid down several unequal treaties before she finally managed to appease Su Lu.
After leaving the house, Qin Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen. First, when no one was around, she added two drops of spring water to the water tank, then began preparing to make spicy crayfish. (End of Chapter)
