Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Chapter 262 Borrowing Flowers

After changing his shoes, he put them away and said goodbye to me.

I walked him to the door and watched him walk away, thinking that the weather was getting cooler and this pair of soft boots would be perfect for him to wear and could somewhat alleviate the discomfort in his legs and feet.

Xiao Wei came back at this time: "Sister, how did you become a harlequin cat?!"

I waved my hand and said, "It's okay! I helped Chuntao deliver her baby and ran into Seventeen when I came out. It was just some disguise!"

She was startled and asked, "Young Master didn't recognize you, did he?!" After saying that, she realized something was wrong and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

I pretended to be indifferent: "It's okay, I have mud all over my face and I'm wearing a veil, he can't see it!"

Then I noticed that Qiao Bin was not there, so I asked her, "Where's Qiao Bin?"

Xiao Wei said "Oh!" and replied, "Seeing you like this, I was too busy asking you. Just now, Eighteenth Brother came and took away his brother and sister-in-law's urn and Qiao Bin. He wanted to wait for you, but unfortunately he sat for a while and saw that you didn't come back, so he left first. He said he is busy these days and will come to see you when he is free."

I slapped my thigh. It was so sudden that I didn't have time to bring Qiao Bin anything delicious or fun. I was really reluctant. But I didn't dare to wander around Xiangliu's military camp for no reason, for fear of being strangled by Xiangliu. I could only wait for Brother Eighteen to come and visit us one day.

I didn't wait for Brother Eighteen, but I did wait for Ye Seventeen. However, I happened to be out making clothes, so I didn't run into him. It was Xiaowei who told me that he bought some cakes and left without saying anything.

After a while, Chuntao's baby was one month old, and Aunt Gao invited us to a banquet. We couldn't go because we had to open the store in the morning, so she specially sent us two chickens at noon.

I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it. I asked her about Chuntao and the baby. Aunt Gao smiled and said, "At first I thought it would be hard to raise a baby born so prematurely. Xiaoliu looked after her twice and she was fine. Now she has grown up. She is plump and fair like her father, and has delicate features like her mother! Chuntao is also in good spirits. Hey, where is your Qiaobin?"

I shrugged and said, "Oh, he was taken back!" I thought to myself, since Xiaoliu has seen him, the child will definitely survive.

She let out an “Ouch!” and took a breath as if she felt sorry for me. She leaned closer and said, “If her father can change, it’s better to raise her together.”

I said "Ah?" Aunt Gao patted my hands and sighed, "You don't have to take it anymore. The errand boy under Boss Xuan, whose name is Yi, told all the stories when he got drunk in the liquor store one day. Everyone admires your strength and the fact that you won't gossip behind people's backs! If your man comes, you can talk it over with him. If he treats you badly, we will help you beat him up!"

I responded with a “ha…” and thought to myself no wonder Jun Yi seldom drank in Wushen Mountain. It turns out he knew that he would be a big mouth when he was drunk.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Aunt Gao chatted with me for a few minutes and then left.

After she finished singing, Xiaoliu came on stage again.

He walked in with his hands behind his back, smiling, and greeted me: "Are you busy? Give me a glass of sweet water and a cookie!"

I hurriedly agreed, served him the food, and said with a smile, "Sixth Brother, aren't you busy today?"

He took a sip of the sweet water and replied, "I just finished. I saw Seventeen wearing a new pair of shoes a few days ago, and I heard him say that you gave them to him. He has been busy collecting and making medicine for me recently, so he asked me to come more often for him."

I listened and nodded: "That's right. Oh! Seventeen is too polite. I said no."

I then brought him one of the two chickens and said, "Sixth Brother, you can take it back. We can't eat it all. We're afraid it will go bad if it's left out for a day or two."

Xiao Liu hurriedly declined: "That won't do! No, no, I came here to thank you, but I ended up taking things back!"

I insisted: "This is just what Aunt Gao brought here by chance. I didn't buy it! You men have big appetites, so take it back and eat it. We definitely can't finish it, and we're really afraid it'll go bad."

Xiaoliu then took it and said, "Thank you very much! I'll ask Shiqi to stew it later. He doesn't like it, so give him some soup. And braise the neck and paws for me later."

They are reconciled.

Was he afraid of revealing his identity as a fox and so didn't tell Xiaoliu that he loved eating chicken?

I can't describe the feeling in my heart, I just felt like the five-flavor broad beans, sour with a hint of saltiness, bitter with a hint of sweetness, and finally a spicy and stinging sensation.

After eating, Xiaoliu wiped his mouth, took out the money to pay the bill, bowed to me, and walked back leisurely with the chicken.

I thought to myself, at least Tu Shanjing, who loves chicken, can have some chicken soup tonight. It’s not bad to offer a helping hand to someone else.

A few days later, Wang Shiba came to invite us to dinner. He, Qiao Bin and I hadn't seen each other for a long time, so we met in a private room of a restaurant in town, and it was very cordial.

Especially Qiao Bin, who hugged my neck and refused to leave my arms, and kept calling me "Mom".

Wang Shiba scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "She is not used to not having women in my place, and now she is acting like a spoiled child again when she sees you. It's hard for you two unmarried girls to help me take care of the child. Come, I will toast you a glass. Thank you for coming all the way to bring her back for me, and thank you for taking care of her for so long."

Xiao Wei and I raised our glasses and smiled, "Not bitter, not bitter. Qiao Bin is pretty well behaved. It's fun for us to take care of her!"

Wang Shiba drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "You guys are amazing. I am so overwhelmed with her and I have no idea what she is humming all day long."

I filled his glass again. "Children always have the same needs. They are hungry, thirsty, cold, hot, and need to go to the toilet. Just try them one by one. But brother, what about Qiaobin's schooling in the future? She is almost three years old now. It's okay if she is a little late in learning to speak, but she has to catch up in the future, right?"

Wang Shiba sighed, "How can she go to school if she follows me? When she grows up a little, the educated brothers around me will teach her. It will be good if she can recognize a few words!"

Xiao Wei and I looked at each other and felt that we had the same idea, so I tried to test her: "How about... sending Qiao Bin back to us to raise her? Our store is usually open for more than half a day, and we have nothing to do in the afternoon, so we can take care of her."

Wang Shiba shook his big hand and said, "No, sister! Although you and I are siblings, we are not blood relatives. I feel uncomfortable letting you two raise my child. Let me think about it again. If it doesn't work, we can discuss it again, okay?"

I know that although he looks rough, he is also a delicate person, otherwise he would not be able to be a military doctor. He probably felt embarrassed to drag us down, so he decided to try again on his own.

"Crazy! Are you getting bolder?! Have you even learned how to pimp a prostitute?"

Xiaoliu's loud shout outside the window broke our temporary silence.

I stood up and opened the window to see Sang Tian'er downstairs, who had just tidied up her messy clothes and bowed to Xiaoliu. Chuanzi held up his pants and stood in front of her, trying to use his thin body to shield her from Xiaoliu's anger.
