Thanks to the mare’s milk wine, Wen Ran had a very good sleep. When she got up in the morning, her head wasn’t dizzy, and she wasn’t sore.
There was laughter outside the house, but it was all quite restrained.
Wen Ran quickly got up, stretched lazily, and slipped into her cotton slippers before heading out.
She pushed the door open and lifted the heavy curtain, only to be staggered by the cold wind.
Oh my god!
This place is even colder than up north!
"Sis!"
Hongguo, with sharp eyes, imdiately noticed Wen Ran peeking out and dashed over happily, "Sis, you’re awake. Hungry? Want sothing to eat?"
"Not really," Wen Ran rubbed her hands together, "Where’s the kid?"
With such cold weather outside, surely no one would take the kids out for a walk so early in the morning.
"Oh, Sister Chen Yue took Minmin to get milk."
Wen Ran looked puzzled. Why take the kids just to get milk?
Speak of the devil, and there he is; Xiao Chenyue appeared holding the child, followed by Xiao Chenye, carrying a large jar.
"Ah, you’re awake?"
The group quickly moved their conversation indoors.
Wen Ran washed up outside, while Xiao Chenye casually approached her. Hongguo was about to rush over, chirping away, but Mrs. Xiao grabbed her by the collar.
Hongguo looked confused, "Auntie?"
Mrs. Xiao remained expressionless, "Go inside quickly and see, the kid misses you a lot."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Hongguo changed her target and happily went inside to play with the kid.
Mrs. Xiao let out a sigh of relief, oh my, these days, cultivating so feelings really takes a lot of effort.
The son is attentive, so as parents, they cannot fall behind.
Once ho, gather all the money and tickets, and prepare to marry off a daughter-in-law.
"Let help you."
Wen Ran was brushing her teeth, and upon hearing this, she laughed so hard she spat out her toothpaste.
She looked at Xiao Chenye, amused, and Xiao Chenye scratched his head in confusion, "What’s up?"
Wen Ran quickly finished her morning routine and said succinctly, "I’m brushing my teeth, how can you help with that?"
"I can get you water."
Watching Xiao Chenye circle around her, Wen Ran laughed and stopped him, "Okay, stop fussing. The more you fuss, the slower it is, and it’s warr inside."
She was eager to go back inside.
Xiao Chenye licked his lips and suddenly said, "Do you rember we brought back ten horses yesterday?"
"What’s up?"
Talking about this, Wen Ran got excited.
"Is there a result?"
"Yes," Xiao Chenye nodded, "Horses are very precious resources; they took eight and left us with two."
Alright, she’s satisfied.
"All those cattle and sheep stayed as well."
Wen Ran: "!!!"
She was shocked, "No way, really?"
"Really," Xiao Chenye smiled, "They didn’t take them; they said it’s what you deserved. But among the things we packed, so were confiscated as dirty goods."
"Alright, got it. Understood."
Oh my god!
She suddenly beca quite wealthy.
Excited, Mrs. Xiao poked her head out of the house, "Ranran, we’re out of sugar at ho. I have money and tickets here; go and buy so.
Take Chenye with you; he knows the way."
In order to create an opportunity for her son, she was willing to try!
It’s just a pity that Xiao Chenye didn’t understand Mrs. Xiao’s intention, confused, "Huh? It’s so cold; I can go myself."
Mrs. Xiao: "..."
Really hopeless.
She rolled her eyes, "You’re a big strong guy, and we need sugar. What if you ss it up? Even getting you to run an errand is so difficult."
"Exactly," Wen Ran grabbed the money and tickets, also wanting to explore this area, pulling Xiao Chenye along, "Auntie, we’re off."
"Alright, alright, take it slow! Watch the road."
"Got it!"
Watching the two walk away, Mrs. Xiao contentedly went back inside.
Minmin was with Hongguo and Mr. Xiao, while Xiao Chenyue busily brewed milk tea.
Seeing Mrs. Xiao enter, she smiled knowingly, "Those two haven’t progressed yet?"
"Ah, not yet, both brothers are dimwits. I’m so anxious I could die," but she thought about it, "However, good things take ti."
"Mom, you’re quite relaxed about it."
Mrs. Xiao joked, "What else can I do? I already made a scene at the ginkgo tree in our team once, no new tricks."
Hongguo: "?"
She slightly turned her head and cautiously glanced at Mrs. Xiao.
You couldn’t tell.
She pondered, "Should I grab a knife?"
Talking about it, Mrs. Xiao laughed to herself, "Mother and daughter giving it a shot."
"You should give it a rest."
Ti flies when you’re joking around.
Outside, the cold wind was ruthless. Wen Ran wore her hat and turned up her collar, revealing only her bright almond eyes.
"Cold?"
He walked by Wen Ran’s side, blocking the wind, "I can go myself."
"Don’t be like that; we’re already out. If I go back on my own, what if I get lost?"
True enough.
The two reached the supply and marketing cooperative, bought white sugar, and started heading back. No one dared to speak on the way back, for every ti they opened their mouths, their stomachs filled with wind.
Halfway, they ran into Xiao Chengguang, "Hey! I was just about to find you.
Everything here is almost explained. In a bit, I’ll take them all. The cows, sheep, and the two horses are yours to collect."
"We can collect them now?"
"Yes!"
Wen Ran wanted to follow and see the commotion, but she was holding onto the sugar. Xiao Chengguang calmly took the sugar and handed it to a young soldier nearby, "Take it to my ho and let them know I’m taking these two."
"Yes!"
Even running an errand was delightful; everyone knew Captain Xiao’s sister was beautiful, with a nice personality and always warmly greeting people when they visited.
"Let’s go."
"Alright!"
The brothers shielded the wind together, making Wen Ran feel much better, taking a deep breath, and sneezed twice, her body hair standing on end.
Xiao Chenye frowned, urging, "We better hurry up; it’s too cold."
Xiao Chengguang: "...Got it."
"By the way," eyeing his silly brother, Xiao Chengguang asked, "Did Mom act up when she arrived?"
Xiao Chenye: "?"
He didn’t understand, "What do you an?"
Xiao Chengguang succinctly put it, "I still don’t have a girlfriend."
Last ti, Mrs. Xiao tried matchmaking for him, but he tactfully avoided it, using work as an excuse.
"Don’t worry, Mom and Dad are more lenient on you now. As long as you can bring ho a wife, regardless of age or personality, as long as you two can live together, it’s all good."
"So, am I being pressured or not?"
"Of course, you are," Xiao Chenye guessed, "Yesterday, they were too happy and tired, so they didn’t bother you.
Today you left early and didn’t say anything. I guess they’ll bring it up during dinner."
Xiao Chengguang was numb to it, "Maybe I should head back to the base to avoid it?"
Looking at his pitiful brother, Xiao Chenye sighed, "If you really want Mom to take her belt and perform hanging at the base, suit yourself."
Xiao Chengguang: "..."
Hiding behind, Wen Ran listened to the brothers’ conversation, nearly bursting with laughter.
