Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang returned to the house and found Li Xiuzhi and her daughter hugging each other tightly, with anxiety written all over their faces.

I think the quarrel between me and Old Man Chen just now scared the mother and daughter.

Chen Lang put on a smile and said, "My dear girl, guess what Daddy bought you?"

Guoguo stretched out her hand and said softly, "Daddy, hug me."

Seeing the little man's actions, Chen Lang's heart almost melted.

If memory serves me correctly, this was the first time in two years that Guoguo asked for a hug.

She had asked for a hug before, but Chen Lang always ignored her, so Guoguo stopped asking Chen Lang for a hug.

But now, the relationship between father and daughter is finally slowly getting back on track.

Chen Lang put down the bamboo basket, walked over quickly and picked up his daughter, and the father and daughter were very affectionate with each other.

Guoguo snuggled in Chen Lang's arms and whispered, "Daddy doesn't quarrel, Guoguo is afraid."

Chen Lang touched Guoguo's forehead with his and said gently, "Don't be afraid, dear girl. Daddy will try not to quarrel in the future."

"But my dear girl, you have to know that sometimes it's not Daddy who wants to argue, but Grandpa and Grandma who insist on arguing with Daddy."

"If Daddy keeps silent, they will bully Daddy and Mom even more."

"So at times like this, Daddy has to quarrel until they get scared."

Guoguo tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, if they bully my mother, Guoguo will argue with them too."

Chen Lang laughed heartily and said, "Just leave things like quarreling to Daddy. Daddy is super professional."

After saying that, he handed Guoguo to Li Xiuzhi and took out the malt candy from the bamboo basket: "Daddy didn't forget to buy you some candy, but you can only eat two a day, because if you eat too much, your little teeth will be damaged."

Guoguo cheered and took the candy bag. She took out a candy, but did not put it in her mouth. Instead, she handed it to Li Xiuzhi, "Mom, have some candy."

Just this small action moved Chen Lang deeply.

Tears welled up in Li Xiuzhi's eyes as she choked out a smile and said, "Guoguo, eat it. Mom doesn't like candy."

Guoguo tilted her head and said, "The sugar is sweet, doesn't mother like it?"

"Well, as long as I see Guoguo eating, my heart is very sweet, and I don't need to eat candy."

Guoguo was still young after all and couldn't understand the subtext of the words.

But Chen Lang could understand.

Because my mother in the previous life also said something similar.

In his previous life, Chen Lang's family conditions were not good when he was young. It was rare for the family to have meat. Every time they ate meat, his mother would say to him, "Xiao Lang, I don't like meat, so you eat it all."

But such a good mother passed away when Chen Lang was six years old.

Since then, Chen Lang became an orphan and grew up relying on food from hundreds of families.

As he thought about it, Chen Lang's tears couldn't help but flow out.

Seeing Chen Lang so sad, Li Xiuzhi hurriedly asked, "Erlang, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Lang recovered, sighed, turned around and wiped away his tears, saying, "Nothing, just sand in my eye."

At the same time, he said silently in his heart: "Mom, although I have come to a different time and space, I am living a good life now. I have a gentle and considerate daughter-in-law and a well-behaved and lovely daughter."

"If you see this from your spirit in heaven, you'll be happy for me, right?"

When Chen Lang turned around, he found Guoguo's hand had reached his mouth, pinching a candy between two fingers, and he called out in a soft voice, "Daddy, have some candy."

"If you eat candy, you won't cry."

Chen Lang pinched his daughter's little face and said, "Daddy didn't cry."

"Just eat it, Guoguo. Daddy, like mom, doesn't like sweets."

Guoguo looked at Li Xiuzhi, then at Chen Lang, scratching his head and asked, "Is that so?"

Chen Lang said: "Seriously, how could Daddy and Mommy lie to Guoguo? Come on and eat."

While Guoguo was happily enjoying the candy, Chen Lang took out the facial oil he had bought and handed it to Li Xiuzhi: "I bought this for you."

Seeing the oily face, Li Xiuzhi was very happy, after all, that woman didn't like cosmetics. But after a moment of joy, it was replaced by great heartache.

Facial oils aren’t cheap!

The price of a box of facial oil can buy you several new sets of clothes.

"Why are you wasting this money?" Li Xiuzhi said, "Why don't you return it tomorrow?"

Chen Lang laughed and said, "How could the store allow you to return the items that have already been sold?"

“And I don’t think it’s a waste of money.”

"Whatever Yueyue has, Guoguo must have too."

"Similarly, whatever the third daughter-in-law has, my wife must also have, and she must use it better than her."

"I asked the owner of the rouge shop. Although this facial oil isn't top-tier, it's mid-range. It's much better than Qian's!"

Li Xiuzhi still felt distressed and said, "I'm not competing with her on these things. One box of facial oil can last our family for a month."

Chen Lang opened the facial oil box, smeared a little with his finger, and rubbed it on the back of Li Xiuzhi's hand. He said seriously: "As for money, your man will find a way to make it. But it's time to take care of your hands and your face."

Li Xiuzhi's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "Are you disgusted by my ugliness?"

Chen Lang was stunned, then he sighed.

As they say, a woman's heart is as deep as the sea. Just like when I fed Guoguo delicious food, Li Xiuzhi would think of selling her daughter. Now when I asked her to take care of her hands and face, she would think of me despising her.

Chen Lang said: "No, I was afraid that you would dislike me."

"After all, I was such a scumbag before, right?"

"When you become beautiful, please don't dump me."

Li Xiuzhi blinked: "Dumped...what do you mean?"

"It means divorcing my husband!" Chen Lang replied.

Li Xiuzhi quickly covered Chen Lang's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense."

The hands that had just been wiped with facial oil smelled fragrant. When they were placed over Chen Lang's mouth, the fragrance kept drilling into Chen Lang's nostrils, making him a little distracted for a moment.

Li Xiuzhi also realized that this action was a bit too intimate and quickly pulled her hand back.

Chen Lang touched his lips, feeling the lingering fragrance of Li Xiuzhi, and then said, "Ahem... It's getting late, I'm going to the woodshed to sleep."

"There are still some unsold houttuynia cordata and two bone sticks in the box. Find some time tomorrow to stew the bone sticks and make soup for Guoguo."

"Just make some cold houttuynia cordata salad. I'll buy some steamed buns and eat them with it when the time comes."

After giving the instructions, Chen Lang dragged out the bedding roll from under the bed and prepared to go to the woodshed.

After taking two steps, I felt the corner of my clothes being pulled.

Turning around, I saw Li Xiuzhi blushing and shyly saying, "Don't go to the woodshed. Just sleep on the bed."

"Guoguo will sleep in the middle, and you will sleep on the innermost side."

Chen Lang subconsciously asked, "Why am I sleeping inside?"

Li Xiuzhi answered seriously, "The old people in the village said that women cannot step over men."

Chen Lang thought, what’s with the old virgin talk? I just like women sitting astride me, that’s how it feels.
