Chen Jiao put the book on the table: "Okay."
Chen Chuan was taken aback. He thought Chen Jiao would refuse, and had prepared a lot of things to say beforehand. He hadn't expected Chen Jiao to agree so readily. "Jiao Jiao, are you really willing?"
"Hmm." Chen Jiao looked out the window and said, "Unrequited love is too tiring, and unrequited love without hope is even more tiring. Sometimes, I want to give up. But I just can't bear to. Since you all want me to date someone else, then I'll give it a try. If I can fall in love with someone else, you'll be happy, and I'll be happy too. If I can't fall in love, don't force me. I'd rather be with dance than spend my life with someone I don't love."
"Okay." Chen Chuan thought: If this one doesn't work, I'll look for another. I'll find one you like eventually.
"Okay. By the way, is my work all arranged?"
"Why don't you take a few more days off?"
"No, brother. I like dancing."
"Okay." Chen Chuan thought it was better to go to work, so he wouldn't have to think about that man all the time. "I'll arrange it for you."
"Thank you, brother."
Chen Chuan ruffled Chen Jiao's hair: "Come on, I'll take you to meet that person. Let me tell you, that person is much better than Zhang Jun."
"Yeah?"
"Hmm. He..."
On the other side, after hesitating for a few days, Han Bin finally asked the question that was on his mind: "Xiaoman, when are you going to talk to Zhang Jun about what you saw and heard on the road?"
Xiaoman smiled at Han Bin: "Anytime."
"He can't be there anytime; he's a teacher and has to teach his students."
Xiaoman nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Xiaoman, I'd also like to hear what interesting things you encountered on your journey."
Xiaoman teased him deliberately: "Okay. I'll tell you now."
"Don't talk."
"What? You don't want to listen again?"
"No. Look, I want to hear it too, and Zhang Jun wants to hear it too. If you tell me first, you'll have to tell it again when Zhang Jun comes."
"fine."
"Isn't it tiring to say it twice?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I'm not tired."
"I'm tired. How about this: I'll invite Zhang Jun over when I'm resting, and you can explain it then. You only need to explain it once."
Xiaoman felt that if she continued teasing Han Bin, he wouldn't be able to sleep: "Okay."
Han Bin was relieved: "Then I'll go and talk to Zhang Jun."
"Um."
Han Bin left happily.
Next door, Wang Erni was nearly driven to despair. Aside from wanting to go to Xiaoman's house, no matter how she tried to coax Erwa, he wouldn't budge.
Commander Xie was also troubled. If he attacked, the enemy was too small. If he cursed, the enemy wouldn't understand.
Finally, Wang Erni had no choice but to discuss it with Commander Xie. While Xiaoman's family was cooking, they put Erwa in the yard.
Erwa twitched his little nose and crawled towards Xiaoman's house.
The couple exchanged a glance.
Wang Erni: "Your son is such a little glutton."
Commander Xie: "If your cooking is good, he won't go to other people's houses anymore."
“The old man next door used to be a cook, while I was just a rural woman. How can I compare to him?”
Commander Xie glanced at his son, who was climbing incredibly fast: "Let's go."
"Um."
Little Black was strolling around in the yard when suddenly a little figure appeared at the door. Little Black barked a few times, "Master, the lazybones from next door are here again."
Erwa saw that Xiaohei was climbing even faster.
Little Black quickly dodged. As soon as it dodged, Second Brother panicked. It let out a few "ah ah" sounds and stood up from the ground. Not only did it stand up, but it also started walking forward.
Wang Erni's mouth dropped open in surprise: "Erwa can walk!"
Commander Xie covered his face. What kind of son did he raise? No matter how his parents called him, he wouldn't move. But when Little Black saw him and tried to avoid him, he would chase after him.
Wang Erni looked at Commander Xie and said, "Do you think Commander Han's house has better feng shui than ours? Look, Erwa can walk right away as soon as he arrives here."
Commander Xie glared at Wang Erni: "What feng shui? Your son is just lazy."
Although Erwa can walk, he's unsteady. Xiao Hei is afraid he'll fall, so he doesn't dodge.
The courtyard wasn't big, and when Xiaoman came out, Erwa was already hugging Xiaohei's leg.
Xiao Hei called out to Wang Erni a few times, "Quickly take your son away."
Upon seeing Xiaoman, Wang Erni quickly said, "Girls, you guys go about your business, don't bother with us. We just want this lazy baby to get moving."
Xiao Hei called out a few more times, "Quickly take your son away."
Erwa hugged Xiaohei and was very happy: "Haha..."
Xiaoman picked Erwa up from the ground, but Erwa was unwilling and twisted his body to reach Xiaohei.
Little Black quickly hid inside the house.
Little Blackie was gone, but the aroma lingered. Erwa twisted his body again, reaching for the kitchen. Xiaoman put Erwa down, and as soon as he landed, he headed towards the kitchen.
Xiaoman looked at Wang Erni: "Your son can walk now?"
“Xiao Hei was avoiding him just now, but he learned it quickly when he was in a hurry.”
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Children all love animals."
Wang Erni: "My cat not only loves animals, but also loves to eat. Look."
Erwa had already reached the kitchen doorway.
“Kids are all like that.” Xiaoman walked to the kitchen door and called out to Uncle Guo.
Without turning his head, Lao Guo asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoman patted Erwa's head: "We have a little guest."
Erwa thought Xiaoman was playing with him, so he grabbed Xiaoman's pants and called out a few times.
Old Guo turned around and exclaimed, "Oh, the little glutton is here?"
Erwa pulled Xiaoman a few steps forward.
Lao Guo: "Oh, the little glutton can walk now."
Vegetables were being stir-fried in the pot, and Erwa wanted to go over. Xiaoman picked him up from the ground: "You can't eat this. Uncle Guo, steam an egg for the child."
"Okay. It's hot in here, take the child outside."
"good."
Upon hearing that they were going to steam eggs for Erwa, Wang Erni quickly said, "No need, no need, we just want to get this lazy child moving around."
Xiaoman: "It's nothing."
"This...this is too much trouble."
"We're all neighbors, it's alright."
"Well... okay."
As soon as Xiaoman came out of the kitchen, she put Erwa on the ground. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Erwa walked back to the kitchen.
Wang Erni quickly picked Erwa up. Erwa protested, "Wah...wah..."
Wang Erni tried to coax him for a long time but couldn't. Finally, she had to put him at the kitchen doorway. If he went inside, Wang Erni would pick him up and take him out. After a few times, Erwa learned that he couldn't go inside, but he could stand at the door. So Erwa started peeking into the kitchen through the door.
Commander Xie was too ashamed to look at this child.
Han Bin returned: "Hey, Erwa can stand up now."
Commander Xie: "You'll know how to do it as soon as you come to my house."
"Really?" Han Bin walked over and picked Erwa up from the ground: "If you like my family so much, then be my godson."
Commander Xie: "He doesn't like your house, he likes your food and your horse."
"That works too." Han Bin shook Erwa: "Kid, be my son."
Erwa thought Han Bin was playing a joke on him: "Haha...haha..."
Soon, the eggs were steamed.
Old Guo handed the bowl to Wang Erni: "Blow on it before feeding her."
"Okay. Thank you for your help."
Old Guo patted Erwa's head: "No trouble at all."
When Commander Xie saw that the man was about to eat, he asked Wang Erni to give him the bowl.
Erwa panicked as soon as he saw the delicious food run away. "Ahhh..."
Commander Xie took a few steps back with the bowl in his hand, and Erwa quickly followed. And so, Commander Xie used a bowl of steamed eggs to get his son to walk home by himself.
As soon as Erwa left, Xiaohei came out of the house.
Han Bin moved closer to Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, let's have a baby too."
