My delicate husband

Last year, due to Zhang Xiaomo's health problems, the two did not participate in the Lantern Festival. Although Lan An did not say it, he still felt regretful in his heart, but this year he has a chance.

Two days ago, Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo went to see Zhang Xiaohua. She was in good condition. The baby in her arms was white and tender, and was drinking breast milk obediently. Seeing this, they felt very touched.

"Has the name been picked yet?"

"Let's call her Baozhu. It wasn't easy for her to get here."

Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo didn't say much and left after staying for a while. Zhu Jie'er was too young, and Lan An was afraid to touch her little hand too hard.

During the Lantern Festival, Brother Xie invited everyone to go to the county town to visit the lantern festival. A lot of things have happened recently, and everyone hasn't had a good time together since Brother Xie and Brother Zhu came back, so it's just right to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to reunite.

Lan An still asked Zhang Xiaomo to call Brother Wu. Lan An felt that it might be the fate in his heart that made him become much kinder. Now that all his friends around him have achieved success, Brother Wu is still quite pitiful.

Brother Xu’s household registration problem has been solved, and he can go get the documents on the way.

It just so happens that I need to buy some food for my family, and most importantly, I want to go to various stores to look for blue eucalyptus.

Guo Ge'er was very happy. He had been busy all winter and the cotton clothes were finally ready. He wanted to meet Xu Tingsong as soon as possible and give them to him. He hadn't seen Mr. Song for a long time.

Brother Xu naturally had no objection. He planned to order a pair of earrings for Brother Kong. When he saw the exquisite earrings on Lan Euan's ears and thought of the fool in his family who had pierced his ears without his knowledge, he felt that he had to order a pair of earrings and put them on him personally on the wedding night.

Of course, Brother Xie and Zhu the Bricklayer also chose to go together. Today is Zhu the Bricklayer's birthday. Brother Xie hasn't celebrated his birthday with him for eleven years. Of course, he has to go to the county town early today to prepare a surprise for Zhu the Bricklayer.

Brother Xie will always remember that they first got together on the Lantern Festival. He can't forget the kiss from Zhu Ni, the bricklayer. Now his dream has come true. He is about to marry the person he loved when he was young. The wish he made under the river lanterns that year has also come true.

The other members of the Zhang family were also looking forward to the Lantern Festival. It was Xue Ge'er's first time to watch the Lantern Festival. Brother Man was actually okay, but everyone liked it very much. He looked at the small treasury and found that he had saved a lot of money. If he worked harder, he could also get married.

"Aman, don't you know that money shouldn't be shown?"

"Xiao Han, hehe, I'm almost saving enough money to get married."

Brother Han's face darkened and he spoke indifferently.

"Do you have a favorite sister?"

"No, let's save it first. Didn't the boss say he would allow us to get married?"

"Oh, then you keep it."

A group of people took a carriage to the county town. Brother Man drove the carriage happily. Brother Xie couldn't help but say something mean.

"Brother An, we are so kind to Lao Xia. When he was away, we were afraid that his sweetheart would be lonely, so we went out of our way to accompany him. We are so kind."

"Brother Xie, I advise you not to say this in front of Brother Wu."

"Brother Mo, take care of your husband."

"I think An An is right."

"I really don't know how Guo Ge'er can stand you guys. You're annoying me every day."

"Let go of the person in your arms first."

"Boss, there are bachelors in this carriage. You are just stirring up hatred."

"Oh my, what a promising future! You don't even look forward to marrying Brother Xu, and you even pierce your ears. Seeing you being so devoted, I feel ashamed."

"Tsk, it's better than the boss crying and saying, Yibao, I have the right to be nice to you even as a concubine. I don't know who it is, but every time he drinks, he cries and threatens to die."

Seeing that Brother Xie was about to say something shocking again, Brother Zhu quickly glared at him. Although Brother Xie looked aggrieved, he also behaved himself.

Guo Ge'er didn't want to pay attention to this group of adults. They looked mature and steady in normal times, but they seemed childish when they got together to love him, especially Brother Xie. Guo Ge'er looked at Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, with some sympathy. It was not easy for him either.

"Yibao, Guo Ge rolled his eyes at me."

"Okay, why are you arguing with a child?"

"You called me baby last night in bed."

"Stop, sir, don't burn it."

"I can't believe Zhuni Mason actually likes someone like you..."

"Brother An, isn't this brother handsome?"

A group of people arrived at the county town, noisily chatting and laughing. Except for Brother Han, everyone else in the carriage was in a good mood.

Zhang Xiaomo was very happy to see Lan'an so happy. He often liked to touch Lan'an's belly recently, mainly because the soft flesh felt so comfortable to touch and it felt so good.

"Don't pinch~"

"It's soft and plump, and feels very comfortable to touch."

"Hey, you two, that's enough. This is disrespectful."

As soon as Guo Ge'er arrived in the county town, he went to find Xu Tingsong. Lan An asked Xue Ge'er to accompany him because there were too many people in the county town during the Lantern Festival, and Lan An was worried about Guo Ge'er being alone.

The others also went their separate ways. After all, no one wanted to have a third wheel next to them on a date, but they still agreed to meet at the Chuxia Hotpot Restaurant at 5 p.m.

This was the first time that Brother Han did not accompany Brother Man. Brother Man felt a little sad, but when he saw the delicious food at the market, he didn't worry about it.

Brother Man was overwhelmed by the selection of snacks, and Brother Han was almost mad at him. That heartless guy had climbed onto his bed and harassed him every night because he couldn't sleep. He had wanted to boil the frog in warm water, but now it seemed like he was in trouble.

This year's Lantern Festival was still very lively. Perhaps because people had just experienced a snowstorm and were trapped at home for too long, the streets were crowded with people very early, and various vendors also opened their stalls in advance, selling a wide variety of food and entertainment.

There are also many lanterns this year, which are different every year. I am really looking forward to the night show. I can’t imagine how beautiful it will be. It should be more dazzling than the light show in China.

Zhang Xiaomo and Lan An happened to stop at a stall selling masks. Lan An liked the fox mask, and Zhang Xiaomo liked the rabbit mask. They smiled at each other and had a tacit understanding.

The two of them walked around and ate a lot of snacks. Zhang Xiaomo really liked fried candies, and Lan An was worried that he would get indigestion.

Lan Euan bought a lot of sour dried fruits, but he felt they were not sour enough.

"An An, this dried fruit is very sour."

"Brother Xiaomo, try it, it's really delicious."

Zhang Xiaomo took a bite out of curiosity and tears came out. If he hadn't seen that Lan Euan really liked to eat it, he would have suspected that Lan Euan was playing a prank on purpose. It turns out that when there is fate, the taste can really change so much.

The two went to the bookstore again. In the past, they always bought books of sages, but this time they came to buy storybooks. Lan An quite liked to read storybooks and essays. Recently, Zhang Xiaomo read storybooks to Lan An to coax her to sleep. This can also be considered as prenatal education.

Brother Xu took Brother Kong to the boss's jewelry store. It looked a bit strange for two grown men to shop there, but Brother Xu was very calm. He picked out a hairpin for Brother Kong. His short hair had grown longer, and it looked better with a hairpin.

The new products designed by the boss are really good. Brother Xu couldn't help but buy a few more pairs of earrings. Now he understands why the boss's earrings are basically different.

Brother Xu originally wanted to make a peach wood hairpin himself and give it to Brother Kong, but he still thought it would be better to give him a silver one as a betrothal gift. He really owed Brother Kong too much and didn't even have the courage to let Brother Kong see his body under the light. The mark of a slave made him feel very inferior.

Brother Xu woke up from his sleep countless times. He felt that everything he had now was unreal and was stolen by him. It was too much like a dream.

Brother Xie held the hand of Zhu the bricklayer, and the two walked slowly on the street. In the past ten years, Jinling County has not changed much.

"Did you go to see the master afterwards?"

"No, I'll think of you whenever I go."

"Me too."

"Then let's go see the master's former residence."

"Row."

The two of them went to that familiar street. Brother Xie actually didn't have the courage to enter. It was on this street that Zhu Ni bricklayer no longer wanted him and wanted to break up with him. He knelt and begged for a long time, but Zhu Ni bricklayer just turned away indifferently. That night, he knelt all night, ignoring the strange looks from passers-by.

Zhu the bricklayer held Brother Xie's somewhat cold hand tightly.

"Come in, Chenbao."

"it is good."

The old house has been renovated and is very different from what I remember. A six-year-old child is playing in front of the door, and a boy in his thirties is standing by and watching. It is a very heartwarming scene.

The two of them just watched and thought of their life of learning the craft together. In the beginning, they were always punished to kneel at the door, and the master sat next to them.

Zhuni bricklayers at that time were always very delicate and would not kneel once their master left. At that time, Brother Xie always covered for him and had to massage the delicate young man, wash his clothes, and even carry him back to the yard.

"Time flies so fast."

"Fortunately we didn't separate."

The two went to the place where they had released the river lanterns, and Brother Xie suddenly knelt down.

"Yibao, thank you for waiting for me. The wish I made back then has finally come true. I've always wanted to give you this anklet. I've wanted to give it to you ten years ago, and today I finally have the chance to put it on you."

The chain on Brother Xie's hand shows signs of aging, and the heart on the anklet has glowed. It can be seen that Brother Xia has often played with it over the years. The small bell on it no longer rings and is no longer beautiful.

"Chenchen, my husband, I really like it. Please help me put it on."

Brother Xie put the chain on Zhu Ni Ma Jiang's feet. He really liked Zhu Ni Ma Jiang's feet, which were small, white, and fleshy, with each toe very round and cute. Before they were together, Brother Xie loved to play with Zhu Ni Ma Jiang's feet.

"What a pity, the little bell won't ring, otherwise the bed~"

"Then let's change it."

"No, that's it."

Guo Ge'er never imagined he and Xu Tingsong would argue. He was only 13 and had always been well protected by his family. Although he had a whimsical personality, he was a relatively well-behaved person, unlike Xu Tingsong.

It is quite difficult for Xue Ge'er to act as a peacemaker. He doesn't understand why Guo Ge'er likes such a mercenary man. Both the big and small bosses are as beautiful as the bright moon. Xue Ge'er feels that Guo Ge'er has poor vision.

Xu Tingsong's father passed away when he was young, and he was raised by his mother. His mother was a strong-willed woman, and she was very strict with Song. She focused on cultivating Song's abilities, knowing that her mother was in poor health and did not have much time to spend with her youngest son.

Song Hanzi was forced to earn money to support himself when he was very young. Xu's mother was also quite cruel. Sometimes she would just watch Song Hanzi starve. Everything he has now is the result of his hard work.

Song Hanzi has been through a lot, he is brave, but also a bit scheming. Xue Ge'er doesn't like his nitpicking character.

It was impossible for Xu Tingsong to stay in one place forever. He had already decided that he would go to the border to look for goods after the New Year.

He has not left until now because he can't bear to leave Guoge'er. He wants to take Guoge'er to see different scenery. He doesn't want them to be separated for so long, but Guoge'er doesn't understand. They quarreled for a long time, and the cotton coat that Guoge'er made for a winter was thrown on the ground by him.

"You're just a spoiled brat. You grew up being pampered, and you didn't compete with stray dogs for food. How can you understand me? What's so good about Yunling County? Are you going to rely on your brother for the rest of your life? Don't you want to see the scenery outside?"

"I...wouldn't it be nice for you to do business with me in Yunling County? My brother said he could arrange a marriage for us first."

"You want me to be your gigolo? Your brother says everything. Your brother doesn't like me and looks down on me. Don't you know that? Your brother even wants to kill me. Get out of here. We don't want to meet anymore."

When Guo Ge'er saw the cotton coat thrown on the ground, he left crying. Xue Ge'er just glared at Song Ge'er and immediately chased after him.

After everyone left, Xu Tingsong picked up the cotton coat and patted the dirt on it with some heartache. It was already dirty and could not be worn anymore, but he put it on anyway, and the tears he had been holding back fell.

The cotton coat was not well made, the stitches were crooked, and there were places where the threads were loose, but Xu Tingsong cherished it very much. Apart from his mother, no one had ever made clothes for him, and he hadn't worn handmade clothes in five or six years.

Brother Wu was the last one to arrive. The dark circles under his eyes were really scary, and he looked listless. Brother Xie couldn't help but curse when he saw this.

"Why, are you so worn out because of Xia? Look at you, a child would be scared to tears. Old Xia has only been gone for a short time, is it really that serious?"

"I've been busy with official duties recently, so please don't mention irrelevant people at future gatherings."

"Okay, it's irrelevant to you, but you are being stubborn."

Brother Wu didn't say much, just poured a glass of wine and took a sip.

Guo Ge'er, accompanied by Xue Ge'er, also walked into the private room. His eyes were red. Lan An was about to ask him why Xu Tingsong didn't come, but seeing his expression, it was not a good idea to ask too much.

"Oh, why are you crying on such a happy day?"

"I want you to manage."

Seeing that the other person was really angry, Brother Xie didn't tease him. Brother Xue quickly comforted him with a few words. Brother Guo felt more and more aggrieved and started crying loudly.

Seeing Guo Ge'er looking so aggrieved, Aunt Li, Brother Xu and others hurried to comfort him. Guo Ge'er was also a little darling in the Zhang family.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Song Hanzi came wearing Guo Ge'er's cotton coat. The people present looked at him and roughly understood what was going on.

"Cheer him up."

"Little brother, you are a hero saving a beautiful girl. Your cotton coat is quite unique. The embroidery is also amazing. The sleeves are different lengths."

"I think you're just jealous. No one makes clothes for you. This is a gift from my brother Guo."

"Oh, your Guo Ge'er is still crying, howling miserably."

"Chenbao, stop talking."

Brother Xie shut his mouth in disappointment, and Song Hanzi quickly went to coax Brother Guo. I don’t know what he said, but Brother Guo’s expression became much better.

The hot pot was quickly served and the dishes were arranged in order, but everyone was still a little uncomfortable. After all, Brother Xia was the talkative one besides Brother Xie, and the atmosphere always became dull when he was not around.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? No one is talking. I miss Lao Xia a little bit. When will he come back?"

When Brother Wu heard Brother Xia's name, he drank two more glasses.

"Okay, why aren't you talking? Xiao Hanhan, why don't you sit with Xiao Manman?"

"Oh, I'm afraid it will delay his getting married."

"Are you in love? Looks like I need to prepare a betrothal gift."

"You two are inseparable, Brother Han, could it be that you have a crush on someone too?"

Everyone started to tease Brother Han, and Brother Man quickly came out to defend him.

"No, no, I'm just saving money. I don't have a sweetheart, and Xiaohan doesn't have one either."

"Oh~~~"

The atmosphere became much more lively, and Brother Man's face turned red with embarrassment. Brother Han looked at that silly bear and smiled unconsciously.

Brother Wu didn't say anything, just drank one cup after another. It would be great if Xia Runzhi was still here, but he probably never would be here.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they agreed to visit the Lantern Festival together. However, Brother Wu drank too much and fainted on the table. Bai Lu arranged for someone to send him back to the courtyard.

Lan Euan stood in the box and opened the window to see the street view outside. The lights outside were bright and it was very lively.

"Brother Xiaomo, let's go for a walk."

"An An, I will be with you, don't be sad."
