Xu Yan blushed and raised his foot to kick Xie Zhuo, but as soon as he raised his foot, he was grabbed by the ankle and put directly on his waist.

"Aren't you going out?" Xu Yan glared at him, "Let go."

"It's not daybreak yet," Xie Zhuo glanced at the light coming through the gap in the curtains, but his fingers continued to pinch lightly somewhere.

If Xu Yan were a cat, he would have been pinched to death by him.

"It seems... it's protruding a little bit," Xie Zhuo looked down with his eyelids drooping.

Although he knew that the quilt was blocking his view and nothing could be seen, Xu Yan's face was still very red.

Xie Zhuo's fingers were very flexible. When he put them on, separated them, and then pressed and rubbed them with his fingertips, Xu Yan shuddered violently.

She subconsciously wanted to hide, but Xie Zhuo was holding her in his arms and she couldn't move.

Xie Zhuo didn't know what he had touched again. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "It's made of water."

Xu Yan: “…”

After fooling around for a while, Xie Zhuo got up, filled a clean basin with hot water, cleaned up for Xu Yan, and lit the stove in their room and the stove in the two boys' rooms. Then he carried the backpack and took the bus into the city.

Xu Yan was not fully asleep in the first place, and after the pestering guy left, he slept for more than an hour before waking up.

Because it snowed during this period, the school was closed early, so Dabao and Xiaobao stayed at home to do their homework and read books.

After Xu Yan finished washing up and went to their room while eating a piece of dried sweet potato, the two of them were lying together reading a text, and their pronunciation was quite clear.

Xu Yan sat with them for a while, and then he heard Yang Shulan calling Xie Zhuo in the yard.

Xu Yan walked out, "Aunt, come in."

"No," Yang Shulan said with a bad look on her face, "The third brother isn't home?"

"We went into the city early in the morning." Although Yang Shulan said she would not go into the house, Xu Yan saw that her face was red from the wind, so he went over, took her arm, and walked towards their room.

As they walked, he asked, "Aunt, do you have something to do with Xie Zhuo?"

Yang Shulan shook her head and sighed after a few seconds, "That brat Mancang is really going to piss me off to death."

"Full warehouse?"

Xu Yan took a clean enamel pot from the table, put some tea leaves in it, then took the kettle with boiling water from the coal stove and poured most of the water into the pot.

When it was handed to Yang Shulan, she asked in surprise, "What happened to him?"

"I asked him to find a girl to marry, but he refused to agree. He said he was still young and there was no rush," Yang Shulan said. "I thought he was close to the third brother, so he would listen to what his third brother said."

Xu Yan nodded.

"But it's no use for the third brother to say anything. This brat just won't get the hang of it," Yang Shulan said. "I don't have any other options. I just think that when he's older, he won't need anyone to tell him. I'm getting anxious myself."

"Who knows about this brat?" Yang Shulan's tone suddenly became excited. "He, he didn't like a good virgin girl, but fell in love with the widow from the next village."

"Ah?" Xu Yan was a little uneasy now.

"I've been running there for two or three days in a row," Yang Shulan said, almost crying.

"No, auntie, don't worry," Xu Yan quickly comforted her.

"There might be some misunderstanding about this matter. Have you and uncle asked Mancang? Did he admit it?"

"No, we can still ask," Yang Shulan's face was still very bad, "I found him running to the next village yesterday, and I felt something was wrong so I went to see him. He was going out again this morning, so I asked tentatively."

"He didn't tell me where he was going, he just said he was going out for a walk. I saw his guilty look, and I knew he was going to go there again."

"After all, I gave birth to him. How could I not know what he farted?"

Xu Yan was worried at first, but when he heard Yang Shulan's last words, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

She coughed dryly, suppressed her inappropriate smile, and said to Yang Shulan: "Since he didn't say it clearly, maybe there are other misunderstandings."

Yang Shulan looked at her, "What misunderstanding?"

"I don't know about that," Xu Yan said. "Anyway, I feel that Mancang has high standards. Although he always says that he wants to marry a girl from the village, he has never really set his eyes on any girl from the village. How could he possibly set his eyes on a girl who is so much older than him?"

"That's right," Yang Shulan nodded, "He always talks about marrying a village girl, but I've shown him many girls, but he doesn't like any of them."

"So, Auntie, don't be anxious," Xu Yan said, "Wait until Xie Zhuo comes back at noon and ask him to go and have a look. They have a good relationship and it's easier to talk to them."

"That's what I think," Yang Shulan said, "In this world, he listens to the third brother the most. The third brother's words are more effective than his father's."

Xu Yan didn't respond. He just smiled and invited Yang Shulan to have tea.

Yang Shulan was very emotional when she first arrived, but after chatting with Xu Yan for a while, she calmed down a lot.

So I wasn't in a hurry to go home and chatted with Xu Yan about family matters.

There is basically no farm work to do in winter, so everyone just stays at home, or takes the soles of shoes to other people's homes and sews them while chatting.

Xie Zhuo came back around noon. When he heard what Yang Shulan said, he frowned and said that he would go and see what was going on after Mancang came home in the afternoon.

Yang Shulan talked to him for a few words before going home.

Xie Zhuo took down his scarf and hung it on a clothesline on the wall. He then warmed himself by the stove before handing Xu Yan the money that Lao He had paid for repairing the radio and watch.

Xu Yan counted the money roughly, took the key and put it into the box against the wall.

"Old He said that the company settled accounts at the end of the year and the net profit reached 500,000," Xie Zhuo said in a low voice and closed the door a little tighter.

"Why so many?" Xu Yan was a little surprised.

Seeing that she was finally not as indifferent as before, Xie Zhuo took out the hairband he bought for her and handed it to her, saying, "In just a few months, that company filmed three hit dramas. Especially during this period, Lao He said that the small company made several million, and what they gave us was just a small fraction."

Xu Yan wrapped the hair tie around his hand.

After a few seconds, she asked softly, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Zhuo didn't expect that Xu Yan seemed to have guessed his thoughts before he said anything.

He didn't answer, but tilted his head towards Xu Yan with a smile, "The money is all yours, what are you going to do?"

Xu Yan did not respond immediately. He stared at Xie Zhuo for a few seconds. After a while, he reached out and patted him on the face, "I plan to eat the meal you cooked first."

Xie Zhuo smiled even when he was photographed. He grabbed her hand and kissed her palm before packing up and going to cook.

Today's lunch was eaten quickly, mainly because the time Xie Zhuo had originally planned to chat with the two kids in the afternoon was taken up by Liu Mancang, so he could only move the chat time to after lunch.

After cleaning up and washing the dishes, Xu Yan wanted to hear what he had to say, but unexpectedly, he was rejected.

Xu Yan was speechless.

"Why don't you let me listen?"

"Be good, I'll talk to you later," Xie Zhuo patted her head, as if he was coaxing another child, "Now it's a conversation between us men."

Xu Yan: “…”

Ha ha.

She glanced at the two five-year-old "men" who were blinking their eyes, then looked at another man who was already twenty-four years old, but whose appearance and the way he usually acted like a spoiled child were completely inconsistent with his age, then turned around and went back to her room.
