The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

"Yes." Yan Zhenshen put his arm around Chu Xiao's shoulders, "I will only have this one husband in my life, and I will not allow anyone to let him suffer any injustice."

This sentence made Yan Sanmei speechless. She wiped away her tears, lowered her head, and said hesitantly: "Goff Lang, I'm sorry."

Zhao Guizhi on the side blinked at Yan Zhengdao and saw that the third sister still had to be taken care of by the eldest brother.

At this time, Chu Xiao looked up at the man next to him with a warm smile on his lips.

He never felt that he had suffered any injustice, even being treated as a tool in the base. After all, everyone lived that way.

But who doesn't want to be cared for and loved? He was filled with joy. After all, this was the first time someone said such words to him and said such words for him. He felt warm in his heart. He once again felt that this man was so nice, and the Yan family was so nice too.

Yan Zhenshen looked down at his husband, and just when he saw this smile, the corners of his mouth also raised and he smiled.

"Happy?"

Chu Xiao nodded: "Very happy."

Zhao Guizhi smiled at her eldest son, and the heavy stone that had weighed on her heart for many years seemed to be relieved. She smiled and said to Yan Zhengdao, "Look at how silly the eldest son is. He is just like you back then."

Yan Zhengdao did not refute her at all, and nodded seriously: "That means he likes his wife just like me."

This made Zhao Guizhi blush, "You old man have no shame."

Yan Zhengdao patted his wife on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Zhao Guizhi didn't say anything, but her eyes were a little red. If you ask her whether it was hard or not, it was definitely hard, but she felt that it was worth it as long as the family was together. Now the eldest daughter also had a husband, and their relationship seemed good, so she was very relieved.

Zhao Guizhi gathered her thoughts and stood up, smiling and jokingly saying, "Don't just stand there, Xiaoxiao, come with your aunt into the kitchen and I'll cook you some meat tonight."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll be right there." Chu Xiao responded, and pulled Yan Zhenshen's big hand over and squeezed it hard, "Go and do your own thing. Remember to feed the rabbits grass so they don't starve."

In the kitchen, Zhao Guizhi had already scooped out two large bowls of rice and was washing them. Yan Sanmei stopped making a fuss and sat in front of the stove to light a fire. Once the fire was lit, the rice could be put into the pot.

Chu Xiao walked in at this time and asked with a smile: "Aunt, what should I do?"

Zhao Guizhi didn't need him to do anything. She took a small stool and placed it at the door. She asked him to sit down. She looked around and placed the mushrooms that Yan Sanmei had picked in front of him: "Pick up these mushrooms and make some soup tonight."

Yan Sanmei glanced at it, said nothing, and continued to make the fire. Making the fire is probably the most tiring job in the kitchen in summer. The weather is hot to begin with, and sitting in front of the stove pit makes one sweat profusely.

Seeing the little girl's face was red from being roasted, Chu Xiao asked, "Third sister, how about I light the fire?"

"No, I'm used to it." Yan Sanmei refused, but her attitude was obviously better.

After a while, she spoke again in a low voice: "Well, brother, I didn't mean to target you today. I just think my eldest brother is working hard and I don't want him to suffer."

Although the voice was not loud, Chu Xiao had good hearing and could hear it clearly, especially when he heard her calling him "brother". What was there for him to understand? This was an active gesture of goodwill.

He actually admired this little girl. No matter in which society, those who dare to say "no" will not be bullied. And even though there was a misunderstanding at the beginning, she knew she was wrong and could bow her head and apologize, which showed that she dared to take responsibility for her actions.

Now that the girl has taken the initiative to give him a way out, what should he do?

It’s done smoothly.

"I know." Chu Xiao smiled widely. "Third sister is so pretty. You can tell at first glance that you are a kind person. You know that big brother is working hard and you are standing up for him. This is great. It shows that you care about your family."

"Don't you blame me?" Yan Sanmei asked timidly.

"Why should I blame you? Your intention was good." Chu Xiao said, "I don't think you were wrong. If there was any fault, it must be Chu Lao Er and Li Xiu Lan's fault. It must be because of what they said or did that you misunderstood me, right?"

Speaking of this, Yan Sanmei became angry and talked more. While she was making a fire, she told Chu Xiao about the day when Li Xiulan came to force a marriage.

"Later, when I went to the village to play with Xinghua, the grandmothers and aunts kept saying that flies don't bite cracked eggs, and that my eldest brother must have taken advantage of you. I was so angry that I really wanted to tear their mouths apart."

At this point, Yan Sanmei suddenly stopped talking and looked at Chu Xiao awkwardly: "Well, brother, I know that you and my eldest brother are absolutely innocent, but I can't stand other people's nonsense, so I don't want my eldest brother to marry you, so as not to confirm their words."

"Okay, you're the only one who talks too much." Zhao Guizhi had been listening to the conversation between the two but never interrupted. First, she wanted to see Chu Xiao's character and whether he would really be angry with his third sister because of this. Second, she also felt that any misunderstandings should be talked out.

The two of them talked openly and happily, so she interrupted with a chuckle: "No need to burn firewood, go to the field and help me pick some green onions."

It was already hot in midsummer, so Zhao Guizhi didn't cook too many meat dishes. She made some kimchi that she had made two days ago and fried it with bacon. She also fried a few eggs left at home with leeks. Finally, she stir-fried some green vegetables and grabbed some kimchi. That was dinner.

In the summer, the Yan family usually eats in the yard as it is cooler. After everyone sat down, Zhao Guizhi filled a large bowl of rice and placed it in front of Chu Xiao. The bowl was as big as his face.

Chu Xiao, who had never eaten from such a big bowl, was a little troubled. He knew his own body well. He had been hungry for years and his appetite had decreased. There was no way he could finish this meal. He might not be able to finish it in one day.

Yan Zhenshen smiled when he saw his expression: "You eat first, eat as much as you can, and give me the rest."

"Let me serve it out for you first." Chu Xiao didn't have the habit of letting others eat his leftovers.

"No, you eat first." Yan Zhenshen said as he picked up a piece of scrambled eggs and put it in his bowl, "Eat more."

Once one person started eating, the others naturally became less polite. Yan Zhenbei, a nine-year-old kid, had gone up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and was already hungry. When he started eating, he almost wanted to bury his face in the bowl.

When he was half full, he spoke, "Mom, my sister and I saw bamboo shoots emerging in the mountains today. We will take hoes to dig them tomorrow. I want to eat bamboo shoots fried with bacon."

"Is it a lot?" Zhao Guizhi didn't ask Yan Zhenbei, but looked at her third sister.

"Not much." Yan Sanmei looked up and replied, "Drying bamboo shoots won't dry anything."

"Oh, then let's go check it out in a few days. We're going to the county town tomorrow. Third sister and fourth sister should come with us."
