It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

Xie Xingran didn't bring his cell phone, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't answer his call.

Lu Ci also went to the village store, trying to see Xie Xingran buying instant noodles and eating them secretly, but he didn't see him.

He returned the same way and asked everyone he met if he had seen his wife. He continued to find Grandma Chen's house in the next village.

At the gate of the yard, I saw their pink electric scooter and Chen Zixuan playing with the little duck, and I finally felt relieved.

Knowing that Grandma Chen didn't like him very much, Lu Ci whispered at the door:

"Little brother, can you go and call your aunt out?"

Unexpectedly, Zixuan snorted and said seriously:

"I don't want you to be my big brother anymore. You don't even give food to my aunt. How can I have a good life if I follow you?

So, I, Chen Zixuan, don't want you to be my big brother anymore!"

Lu Ci also: “???”

"It's unfair, such an injustice!" He explained, "I didn't deny your aunt food. I just didn't allow her to eat spicy food or instant noodles."

Who would have thought that she would come here on her electric bike without saying a word.

Xiao Zixuan was even more shocked: "Instant noodles are so cheap and you are not willing to give them to Auntie? Uncle, you are too poor!"

Lu Ciye: ...

It was the first time I heard someone say he was poor, and I felt tired.

Knowing his wife was here, he relaxed, squatted down and pointed at the little duck in his arms and said:

"You said I was poor, right? Then give the duck back to me. I'm going to sell it to make some money."

Chen Zixuan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Look at the fluffy little duck in your hand, and then look at your expressionless uncle in front of you.

After hesitating for several times, and almost holding back tears, Lu Ci decided to stop and ruffled his hair:

"Okay, okay, your uncle lied to you. There's no way to take back what you've given away. Actually, your uncle cooked a lot of dishes for your aunt, but she didn't like them, so she came to your house to eat them. It's not because your uncle is poor, do you understand?"

Xiao Zixuan sniffed and nodded, not quite understanding.

"Then uncle will make more of what aunt likes to eat. My grandmother said that being able to eat is a blessing, and being plump is good-looking."

Lu Ci also smiled and said, "I think so too."

The moment he looked up, he saw Grandma Chen smiling kindly in the yard, and Xie Xingran looking awkward.

He walked up to her, took her hand, and called out pitifully, "Wife."

Then he respectfully called out "Grandma Chen".

Xie Xingran did not struggle with his hand holding, thinking that she should give him some face when they were outside.

In fact, she felt sorry for him because of the sweat on his forehead. She stayed there for almost half an hour.

Could it be that he has been looking for her for the past half hour?

Grandma Chen had already asked her the real reason for coming here, and now she smiled and said:

"Young couple, if you have anything to say, talk it over nicely and accommodate each other, especially Xiaoye. Look, you've forced Xiaoxing to come to my house for free meals.

She's having her period, not being sick. As long as it doesn't hurt, don't be too nervous. It's okay to eat something cold or spicy."

Lu Ci also nodded: "Yes, yes, I was too strict, it's my fault."

Grandma Chen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back. It's time for our nap."

After saying that, he pulled Zixuan into the house to take a nap.

The courtyard door closed, and Xie Xingran was about to break free from his hand, but Lu Ci held it tightly.

He had been holding back his anger in front of outsiders just now, but now that there was no one around, his eyes immediately turned red.

"Honey, I was wrong. Can I put chili peppers in my cooking from now on?"

Xie Xingran pressed the issue further: "I also want to eat a Want Want crushed ice cream every day."

Lu Ci couldn't care less at this point, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just one."

I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to now. I should have asked for one more earlier.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. If I say any more, he will be pushed to the limit.

She pushed hard on her feet, and the electric bike's support frame bounced up. She said to him:

"Come up, let's go home. By the way, have you eaten?"

Lu Ci also sat astride her behind her and hugged her waist.

"Not yet." He said aggrievedly, pinching the soft flesh on her waist.

"You seem to be quite full, but not only did you run to other people for free meals, you even told Zixuan that I didn't give you food. Honey, aren't you wronging me?"

Xie Xingran coughed lightly uncomfortably.

She was afraid of being laughed at if she told others that she went to someone else's house to eat because the dish didn't have chili in it.

"I just said it casually. I didn't expect Zixuan to actually believe it. Don't take it to heart. And if you don't put the chili in, it's like you don't want to feed me."

Lu Ci also said in a dry voice: "I don't dare anymore."

"I'm glad to know." She said, raised her eyebrows, and thought she had got it right again.

As a result... the clothes on her back were wet.

It was just a five-minute journey from the neighboring village to the main house, and everyone passing by saw Xie Xingran’s showy husband crying.

After getting out of the car in front of the yard, Xie Xingran turned around and looked at his red eyes and nose, and clicked his tongue.

He has to control me in the opposite direction again.

She took his hand and walked into the house: "Don't cry, Aunt Zhao saw you crying. I guess there will be rumors in the village tomorrow that I bullied you."

Lu Ci also sniffed uncontrollably:

"I'll explain. My wife didn't bully me. I was just too proud of myself. I took advantage of my wife's love and controlled you so much..."

It's my fault. I didn't know how to handle it properly. Honey, please don't hate me, okay?"

Xie Xingran ignored him while he was mumbling in his ear, and served him the meal.

"It's hot, so don't heat up the food. Eat it quickly."

[…My wife doesn’t even answer my questions directly. She must hate me.]

Thinking of this, Lu Ci's tears, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, began to well up again.

"You eat first." She sat down and emphasized that after finishing breakfast she wanted to take a nap because she was sleepy.

Lu Ci also sat down obediently, hugged the bowl and started eating.

But in a moment, his head lowered lower and lower, and tears fell into the bowl like a string of pearls.

Xie Xingran had a headache and said, "You've almost cried away all my good fortune. Lu Ciye, are you made of water?"

Lu Ci also blinked, trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall, his throat full of bitterness. He asked:

"Wife, you hate me, don't you?"

When the hoarse voice asked this question, both of them felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

Xie Xingran sat over and hugged him, his voice softened, and he patted his back and comforted him:

"No, really not. I don't hate you, I like you so much. Besides, you said you hated me last night. I wasn't hurt at all, it was just you, this water-like person, who broke my defense."

Lu Ci also hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder, looking as cute and harmless as a big puppy.

"I said I hate you, just for fun, but I'm afraid you really hate me. If that happens, I'll be so heartbroken that I'll break into pieces."

Hearing this, Xie Xingran burst out laughing and said jokingly:

"Don't worry, I have tape, even if you break, I can stick you back together.

If that doesn't work, I'll throw this piece of you into the furnace, melt it, and create a new you."

Lu Ci finally smiled, "Wife, do you love me so much?"

Xie Xingran did not refute: "Yes, yes, I love you the most, so are you willing to do anything for me?"

Lu Ci said without hesitation: "Of course!" without caring whether the logic was correct or not.

Because the person you love the most should do everything for the other person, when she said this, it seemed like she knew that the other person was the one she loved the most.

Xie Xingran: "Aunt Zhang and Grandma Wang have planted a rice field together. When the time comes, you can go to the field to help. Grandma Wang and I will cook for you... By the way, do you dare to go to the field?"

Lu Ci also did not hesitate, his moist eyes sparkling, patting his chest proudly and said:

"Of course I dare! It's just going to the fields, what's so difficult about that? With my help, it will definitely be twice as easy to get twice the result with half the effort."
