There were a lot of peppers in the vegetable garden. Yan Zhennan ate a plate of fried pork with peppers cooked by Zhao Guizhi without even raising his head.

Xiao Yuer was drooling as he watched, and he really wanted to have a taste.

Seeing Xiao Yuer staring at the chili pepper, Yan Zhenshen quickly put a piece of scrambled egg into his bowl and said, "Xiao Yuer, eat this. The one your uncle is eating is not tasty. It will hurt your mouth if you eat it."

"Yes, this is not delicious. Second uncle can eat it. Xiaoyuer can eat the delicious eggs." Yan Zhennan also lied with his eyes open with his lips red from the spiciness.

Xiao Yuer nodded. Of course he knew that eating hurt. Not only his mouth hurt, but his eyes would also hurt if he cried.

But children are greedy. When they see others eating with relish, they can’t help but think that this time might be different from last time.

While the adults thought he was being well-behaved, he stealthily reached out and quickly grabbed a piece of chili and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Yan Zhenshen, who was sitting next to him, wanted to reach out to stop him but it was too late.

Following a loud cry, Zhao Guizhi quickly stood up: "Hurry up and grab his hands, don't let him rub his eyes, Lao Er, stop eating, go get some water from the water tank, and San Mei will feed him two mouthfuls of soup."

The whole family was busy because of this disobedient little thing. Only Chu Xiao raised his eyelids slightly and said, "You deserved it for eating secretly."

"Ahhh." It would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as Chu Xiao opened his mouth, Xiao Yu'er cried even harder, "Daddy is so bad."

Chu Xiao snorted: "You made a mistake and you blame others. You ate it even though you were not allowed to. If you have the guts, eat it secretly. If you have the guts, don't cry."

Provocation never worked on Xiao Yuer. He continued to cry and howl until he drank several bowls of soup to ease the burning pain. Then he sobbed and huddled in Yan Zhenshen's arms, not forgetting to instruct Yan Zhennan: "Second Uncle doesn't eat painful dishes. Xiao Yuer, give the eggs to Second Uncle."

Yan Zhennan was quite touched. Look, why did his little Yuer like his second uncle so much that he even gave up his eggs for him to eat.

"Give the eggs to Xiaoyuer. Uncle is not afraid of pain."

"Uncle eats the eggs, and the other dishes are given to father." Xiao Yuer said as he glanced at Chu Xiao, his provocative look was too obvious.

Chu Xiao was so angry that he almost laughed: "Yan Xinyu, you are too stubborn. If I don't give you a good beating today, you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?"

When Xiao Yuer heard Chu Xiao calling him by his full name, he felt something was wrong. He quickly pulled his butt back and looked up at Yan Zhenshen pitifully: "Daddy, you can't abandon Xiao Yuer."

Chu Xiao also looked at Yan Zhenshen at the same time, as if to say, "You protect one of me and I'll see."

Yan Zhenshen: “…” Why are other men caught between their mothers and wives, but he is caught between his husband and son.

"Ahem." Seeing that her little girl was about to be punished again, Zhao Guizhi coughed twice and said, "Mrs. He came over today and wanted to ask about Mr. He and my third sister's marriage."

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Guizhi, even Xiao Yuer.

"Mrs. He's intention is of course for the man to marry the woman, but she said that after the marriage, we can build a house in our village, and it's OK for the two children to live in the village in the future. Big brother, second brother, Xiao Ge'er, Qingyun, what do you think?"

After Zhao Guizhi finished speaking, Yan Zhennan, who had jumped the most violently last time, just paused for a moment, then silently picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat with his head down, as if he was tacitly agreeing.

Yan Zhenshen didn't object too much from the beginning. As long as the third sister was willing, it was fine. As the eldest brother, he couldn't do anything to break up a couple.

"No." No one expected that the only one who disagreed was the four-year-old baby Xiaoyuer: "Auntie won't get married."

"Who do you think you are?" Chu Xiao raised his head to Xiao Yu'er, "You are so young and you can't tell the difference between the big and small kings. Look carefully, the head of the family is sitting here. I didn't even say I disagree, so why are you making such a fuss?"

"Then Dad, we are in the same group and we all disagree, okay?" Xiao Yuer decided to put aside the past grudges and live in peace with Chu Xiao again.

Chu Xiao laughed and said, "Who wants to be in the same group with you? I am in the same group with your aunt. If she wants, I will agree. I am not like some little thing who is overbearing and unreasonable."

"Then Auntie and Xiaoyuer are in the same group." Xiaoyuer slid down Yan Zhenshen's legs and ran to Yan Sanmei to hold her hand: "Auntie, you like Xiaoyuer the most, right?"

Yan Sanmei didn't say anything, she just held the little thing on her lap and used chopsticks to pick up a piece of the vegetable that Xiaoyuer disliked the most and stuffed it into his mouth: "Then the little Yuer that Auntie likes the most is obedient and not picky about food."

After being fed several mouthfuls of vegetables in a row, Xiao Yuer's face turned a little green. Seeing another chopstick of vegetables reaching his mouth, he quickly turned his head away.

"Aunt, why don't you stop liking Xiao Yu'er so much? Daddy also needs your love."

Yan Sanmei couldn't help but burst out laughing as she looked at the little thing that was blinking its big eyes and had a sincere and cute face, but was determined to trick its own father.

He raised his hand and gently scratched the little thing's nose: "Little rascal."

After dinner, Chu Xiao and Yan Sanmei went to the kitchen to wash dishes together.

"Third sister, if you really like He Changliu, you don't have to force yourself if you have any reluctance in your heart. With Brother Xiao here, the He family has nothing to fear."

Yan Sanmei nodded. This was the first time she talked about her ideas with her family. Perhaps because she felt that Chu Xiao was different from other people, she was less shy when talking to Chu Xiao.

"I didn't like that young master at first. He couldn't lift anything with his hands or shoulders, and he was very smooth-talking and unreliable."

"But later on, every time he brought food over, he would secretly help me cut grass and feed the chickens and ducks. I thought it didn't matter if I couldn't do too much work, since I could do it anyway."

"Stop, stop, stop." Chu Xiao interrupted quickly: "So do you like him because he always brings you food, or do you like him because he helps you with work?"

Yan Sanmei smiled shyly: "The food he brought is quite delicious."

"A greedy girl." Chu Xiao guessed that this was the reason. After all, when it came to work, any seven or eight-year-old child in the village could do better than He Changliu.

"Didn't you say, brother Xiao, that eating well and being happy is what life is all about?"

"That makes sense." Chu Xiao was speechless and could only express his agreement. After all, these were the ideas he had inadvertently passed on to his younger brothers and sisters.

"Brother Xiao, I'm actually not afraid of marrying anyone, because I know I have my family to rely on. Let alone the He family, even if they are high-ranking officials, I can't stand being wronged with Brother Xiao around."

"Yes, with Brother Xiao here, who dares to let you down? I'll chop him so hard that even his mother won't be able to recognize him."

Yan Sanmei chuckled, but her eyes were a little red. She just knew that as long as she had these family members in her future, she, Yan Xiaoxi, would always have the confidence to face all the unknowns.
