Xie Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's my daughter-in-law's niece. I heard her talking about it a while ago. I asked my daughter-in-law's mother the other day. She listened to me and went to see Xia Zhi. She said he was a good young man. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will have a good life in the future."
Xia Li said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, our Xia Zhi can endure hardships... Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law, for this matter. When there is news, you can ask Zhengyang to tell us."
Xie Qi readily agreed. Since she got a job, she felt that as long as one is willing to endure hardships, there will be a way out. Xia Xiuzhi was also very happy. She was worried about her younger brother not getting married. If he got married, she would be relieved.
Seeing her mother-in-law worrying about her and her younger brother, she felt like she was in luck.
Just then Ping'an woke up. The little guy was twisting his body on the kang, obviously feeling uncomfortable. Xie Qi hurried to unwrap his little blanket, unzipped his pants and felt his ring, which was soaked.
"Oh my, my little darling! How much have you peed?" Xie Qi said as he took off the diaper and poured hot water from the thermos to wash the little guy's butt.
"Mom, let me do it!" Xie Xiuzhi pretended to take over.
Xie Qi was not willing to do that. She nimbly grabbed a handful of roasted sand and said, "Take a rest. You've been tired all day. You should try not to bend as much as possible since you just got out of confinement. I didn't understand when I was young. Your waist will be in bad condition when you get old. You still need to drink the brown sugar water. The kid needs milk at night. You can't sleep through the night. While he's awake, I'll hold him and comfort him. You can go to bed and sleep for a while."
"Mom, how can this be possible? You've been tired all day..."
"I'm happy after a tiring day. Grandpa Xiaoqin is playing outside. Don't worry. You should take a nap, okay Ping'an? Let mommy take a nap and rest. Mommy is too tired, right, little Ping'an." Before Xia Xiuzhi finished her words, Xie Qi interrupted her and urged her to take a rest, coaxing Ping'an as she spoke.
Ping An was amused and grinned foolishly.
When the three members of the Xia family left, their hearts were filled with warmth. Xia Li even sobbed quietly as she walked. Xia Zhi and his wife didn't pay any attention to her because they knew she was happy.
After school in the afternoon, the kids were exhausted. There was a wedding banquet at home the day before, so they had fun all morning, and then they perked up and attended classes in the afternoon. Now they were exhausted and had no end in sight.
Su Li didn't cook in the evening, as there were a lot of leftovers from the banquet at the Xie family. They were all good and no one had touched them. So Xie Zhengchuan brought the whole family to the Xie family for dinner.
The banquet was sumptuous that day, and the diners tried their best to stuff their stomachs, but even so there were still a lot of food left over. As the weather was getting warmer, Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang were afraid that the food would go bad, so they took the leftovers from the table and a large pot of untouched food and delivered a large spoonful to each nearby household.
This is also a common thing in rural areas, but in the past, there would be some vegetable soup left over from a banquet and a bowl would be given to each household. It is rare for there to be so many old dishes left over like the Xie family.
Su Li and Xie Qi were heating up dishes and steamed buns in the kitchen. When they were almost done, Xie Zhengyang also came back with the wine and food delivered to the Waishan family.
After a busy day, the family finally sat down to have a peaceful meal. Xie Li thought about what he had said to Ruiying in the afternoon, and casually asked Su Li,
"Third wife, I told your mother about your niece's wedding. She met Xiuzhi's brother the other day. He's a good boy. Did you see him?"
After Xie Qi said this, Xia Xiuzhi, who was holding Ping An, also looked up at Su Li.
"I met my mother, he's a nice young man, but it's up to Su Lan to choose one. If the two children are interested, that's great. I just told her about our Shi Xiaomeng and sent her a letter."
When Xia Xiuzhi heard Su Li say this, she felt that her brother had no hope. Their family was not well off, so how could they compare with Shi Xiaomeng who was a soldier? She had seen that young man before, and he was very energetic and good-looking.
Su Li looked at her sister-in-law's hopeful eyes and said, "I think we can meet each other. The girl is still young, so it's okay to meet a few more. No one can predict fate."
"That's right, let's find a time to discuss it."
"OK!"
Xie Qiniang and the others were eating and chatting. Su Li looked at Baoya who took a bite of steamed bun and whose eyelids were squinting and unable to open, so she quickened her eating pace.
After returning home from dinner, the children recovered a little bit of their spirits. Su Li boiled a large pot of hot water for the children to wash.
After washing up, Su Li hugged Baoya and told her stories to coax her to sleep. After Xie Zhengchuan cleaned up, he also put his arm around Su Li's waist.
The palm of his hand groped up and down the waistline, neither lightly nor slowly, neither fast nor slow, yet very suggestive. The thin calluses on his hand slightly stung his skin. Su Li felt that the skin under Xie Zhengchuan's hand was getting hotter and hotter, and even slightly burning.
Su Li slowly let go of Bao Ya in her arms, turned around and rolled under Xie Zhengchuan, holding his hand that had just made trouble, motionless, staring at Xie Zhengchuan with her two big watery eyes.
"Tsk~"
Su Li felt that this low and hoarse voice was very sexy, and her face gradually turned pink, but her hands did not move.
"No, it's not convenient. It will wake the child."
"Why not send the little girl to the east room?"
Before Xie Zhengchuan finished speaking, Su Li rolled her eyes at him.
"No, I've already carried her over several times. The child is just small, not stupid. If you keep lying to her that she sleepwalked over, how long will she believe you?"
"What should I do? I'm already on the verge of death."
Su Li listened to what the man said, her face flushed, "What should I do? Just leave it alone. I'm going to sleep. You should go to sleep too. You're so tired every day. Why are you so in a bad mood every time?"
Xie Zhengchuan raised his eyebrows, "I have good physical strength, are you envious?"
“Shut up!!!”
"How about we go to the kitchen?"
"No."
"Go ahead, wife. I don't know what's wrong. I've tried so hard, but there's no movement in your belly."
Xie Zhengchuan's words made Su Li's heart tremble. She felt a little guilty. On the one hand, there were already so many children in the family. On the other hand, she didn't trust the medical conditions in the countryside and the county town. It was not that she didn't want to have a child with Xie Zhengchuan, she just thought it wouldn't be too late two years later, so she took medicine secretly, but she never dared to tell Xie Zhengchuan about this.
She felt a little uneasy, and with Xie Zhengchuan humming in her ear, she agreed to Xie Zhengchuan's suggestion. The two of them sneaked to the kitchen under the quilt, and after locking the door, they had a profound spiritual and physical exchange in the kitchen.
Inevitably some noise was made during the process, which scared Hu Zi, who was out peeing in the dead of night, so much that he thought a fox spirit had come to his house. He held his pee back halfway through, and hurriedly got into bed, snuggling up to Hu Dan before falling asleep.
When Hu Zi was telling Xie Zhengchuan privately and tremblingly the next day, he saw his father's eyelids twitching, and he even boldly reached out and patted Xie Zhengchuan's eyelids.
"There is no fox fairy in our family. Don't talk nonsense. You must have heard it wrongly because you were half asleep."
"No, I heard a woman crying, and she said it was all your fault. I didn't do anything wrong, Dad."
"No, son, listen to me. Don't say anything supernatural or you'll get caught."
Hu Zi hesitated: "Really, Dad? But if I had been braver last night, I might have caught him! You said that a real man should be brave."
Xie Zhengchuan held back his temper and didn't stop until Hu Zi was completely lost. As soon as Hu Zi left, he got up and went to old Xie's house. He was going to ask Xie Zhenghe for a residential plot. He wanted to build a bigger room and live alone with Su Li. If Hu Zi had the guts to push open the kitchen door last night, he and Su Li would have died of shame.
