Chapter 83 Not Catching Birds
A night of wind and rain.
The next day the sky cleared, and the summer heat returned.
Xi Bao, sitting against the bedding, was wearing only a red bib and had her hair tied in two little pigtails. She was happily drinking peach juice.
Its chubby little mouth occasionally makes a "smacking" sound.
Her eyes, like her mother's, weren't very big; when she smiled, they became slits, revealing a tiny, pearl-like baby tooth that had just grown in.
"Toothless old woman." Lu Feng tapped her nose.
Xi Bao giggled.
"Dad's going to deliver some goods to the shop first!"
Feng Xiaowan packed a gourd of peach juice for him to take with him.
"Drink it as soon as possible, or it will spoil," she instructed.
I gave him another handful of dried peaches.
"I don't like sweets, you guys eat them."
"My little sister said it will spoil if we don't eat it quickly, and there's still a lot left."
"Oh well."
Lu Feng ate one and put it in his arms.
Now that life is better, he's become picky.
In the past, he would never eat anything good himself and would bring it back for his younger sister and Wan Niang to eat.
Feng Xiaowan then sorted through the thirteen-spice and braised food packets she had made over the past two days, filling a hand basket.
Then he asked, "Is Xiaoyong still obedient? If not, feel free to hit or scold him."
"Of course not, she's very sensible."
He doesn't talk much, but maybe he'll get better after interacting with more people.
Lu Feng turned around and took a step, carrying the basket, then turned back as if he remembered something. "Xi Bao, turn your head!"
Xi Bao: "Awoo?"
"Look at the wall."
"Huh?"
Feng Xiaowan smiled, pursing her lips: "What exactly do you want?"
Saying that, he threw the rattle drum against the wall, and Xibao stuck out her bottom and crawled over there.
Lu Feng reached out and tapped Feng Xiaowan's nose.
Feng Xiaowan looked up at him in surprise.
"My sister said... having a daughter doesn't mean you can forget your wife..."
He just ordered his daughter.
"……oh."
Feng Xiaowan's face began to turn red.
Her younger sister also told her: You can't neglect your husband after having a child.
No need to do much.
Just as he was leaving, give him a kiss.
When he comes home, just give him a glass of water.
Giving him water is easy, isn't it? That's what she's always done.
She also fetched water for him to wash his face and boiled water for him to wash his feet.
But the younger sister said that she was a wife, not a servant.
Doing a lot doesn't necessarily mean doing it right.
She doesn't understand.
My younger sister said that if I did as she said, I would understand.
Feng Xiaowan looked at Lu Feng's mouth.
They kissed and did even more intimate things at night.
But that was at night.
I can't see anything.
Doing this in broad daylight is like committing a crime.
I was so nervous I could hardly breathe.
"I'm leaving."
"Brother Feng!"
Feng Xiaowan called out and tiptoed to give Lu Feng a kiss on the lips.
The two have been married for two years.
As I said before, we've done everything, no matter how intimate.
But at this moment, Lu Feng's heart was beating even faster than when they were making love.
That feeling is different.
At that time, I was mostly nervous.
Now, it's sweet... even sweeter than the dried peaches I ate earlier!
There's also that trembling feeling of your heart pounding.
Then look at Feng Xiaowan, who is shyly looking down, her fair neck curving gently.
He felt that everything about him was wonderful.
How could he have married such a wonderful wife!
When Lu Feng left, his mouth was wide open in a grin.
"Big brother, your mouth looks like a peppercorn!" Lu Yun exclaimed.
"You're the one who's all talk and no action! You don't know anything!"
He gave the purse that Cui Cui gave him to Sixi, and the purse that Lin Ye gave him was too beautiful for him to use, so he gave it to his sister-in-law.
I don't know when I'll grow up.
"I'm either Sichuan peppercorn or garlic, get on the carriage, I'll take you there."
"You need to keep an eye on the Ning family."
"I'll have Sixi keep an eye on things; I'll be back in a bit."
The two brothers got into the carriage together.
On the way out of the village, they encountered Cui Shitou's donkey cart.
Several people were sitting on his donkey cart, and it looked very crowded.
Among them were Dingxiang and her mother-in-law.
Lu Feng and Lu Yun exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken smiles.
"Uncle Stone, thank you! I'll be going now!"
Cui Shitou had already made way for them, and Lu Yun greeted him before passing by.
“Wow, what a horse-drawn carriage! I’ve never ridden in one in my life,” a woman said.
Another woman curled her lip: "They won't even let anyone sit down, how stingy."
"You can't say that. Their carriage is as clean as a house. They wouldn't let outsiders ride in it. I wouldn't even let them if they asked me."
The third person chimed in: "That's right, if one goes, another will follow. If everyone goes to sit there, it'll be so annoying."
There are plenty of shameless people in the village!
The woman deliberately glanced at Liu.
Everyone was there when Ning Xiuwen instigated the naive Lu Qingqing to borrow money at exorbitant interest rates and embezzle two acres of Lu's land!
Liu was already suffering from stomach pain, and now her face was even more ashen.
But she felt that her family was implicated by Ding Hongshi, and that he had offended too many people, making her lose face now.
Liu reached out and secretly pinched Dingxiang's waist hard.
Dingxiang's fearful heart transformed into ruthlessness at this moment.
Ever since her father's accident, the mother and son have stopped pretending and have been tormenting her every day.
Today, she took Liu to the city under the pretext of seeing a doctor.
Surprisingly, the old man showed absolutely no gratitude.
They really have no humanity whatsoever.
Old man, you'll regret this!
...
In the Lu family courtyard, Lu Qingqing shoveled up the planted herbs and collected the seeds.
They replanted new ones.
Suddenly, a dark shadow fell beside me.
Lu Qingqing was so frightened that her hand holding the basket trembled, and she looked up in horror.
"Miss Lu."
It's Fu Leng's smug face!
And its eyes were bright red.
Does this person have conjunctivitis? They get red-eyed all the time.
Lu Qingqing looked up at the sycamore tree outside the wall.
She's definitely going to cut down that tree tomorrow, let's see where they'll be hiding then!
"What are you doing!"
Fu swallowed hard.
Miss Lu became fiercer with each passing day.
He held up a ceramic jar and handed it to him.
"The young master asked me to deliver it."
"What is it? I don't accept gifts."
Lu Qingqing opened the earthenware jar and looked inside.
My goodness!
There are more than ten geckos inside!
"A divine being, truly a divine being! Your young master's flute can even attract such attention?"
In modern times, this would be enough to warrant a prison sentence.
Fu Leng: "???"
What trouble did the young master's flute cause? It was the young master who sent him to find it in the middle of the night!
He worked so hard that he almost went blind.
"Miss Lu, what can this thing be used for?"
Here, have some!
Fu Leng shut his mouth.
Geckos have high medicinal value.
It can clear the meridians and promote blood circulation, treat infantile convulsions, stroke paralysis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Even geckos contain abundant vitamin F, which can inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
She accepted it!
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up as she thought of something: "Could you ask your young master to help me catch a few birds on the mountain?"
"My young master doesn't catch birds."
Fu Leng gave him a look that said, "Give up on me."
"My young master likes birds, but he never catches them. Even birds given to him by others, he will release them."
My young master has a kind heart!
