My delicate husband
Chapter 222: A Small Melon
Zhang Xiaomo finally received a letter from Brother Wu. In the letter, Brother Wu briefly explained that he was assassinated and said that he would not come back to attend the completion ceremony of the transport terminal.
Zhang Xiaomo was not surprised by this reply, but he was still a little worried about Brother Wu. He must have experienced a life-or-death experience, otherwise, with Brother Wu's personality, he would have crawled back.
Brother Wu received two letters from Zhang Xiaomo. He knew that Zhang Xiaomo cared about him. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he really wanted to go back to Yunling County, not only to see Brother Xia, but also because he missed the days of drinking and chatting with that group of people.
But he needed to stay in bed and recuperate, unable to even get out of bed. He didn't know if it was a blessing in disguise, but the person he missed so much was very close to him, in Anzhou, and might stay there for a while.
As long as he can get out of bed, he will go to Anzhou. He doesn't want to miss the opportunity to meet Brother Xia. Even if he has to crawl, he wants to crawl to see Brother Xia.
Knowing that Brother Wu would not be coming back, Zhang Xiaomo would be fully responsible for the completion ceremony.
Zhang Xiaomo did not delay and asked the Yin-Yang master of the county government to choose an auspicious day for the sacrifice. A sacrificial ceremony must be held after the completion of such a large project, especially a water transport project like this, and people would pray for the blessings of the Dragon King and the River God.
The date was set for a week later, and Zhang Xiaomo was quite satisfied. He had enough time to prepare for the celebration meeting. The monument at the transport dock had been engraved, and Brother Wu specially wrote a plaque for the Zhao family as a commendation. Zhang Xiaomo had prepared everything and was just waiting for the day to come.
Lan'an didn't eat any winter melon this year, and the space was planted with grains and spices. Fortunately, the winter melons in the field were about to mature. It was a hot season now, and Lan'an couldn't imagine how enjoyable it would be to eat chilled winter melon.
Zhang Xiaomo really cares about Lan'an's health. Even now in the hottest days of summer, Lan'an only drinks warm water. Zhang Xiaomo doesn't even let Lan'an drink cold water. Even though it has been almost two months, he still doesn't let Lan'an come into contact with cold water or blow cold wind. Every time Lan'an sees Zhang Xiaomo looking at him with aggrieved eyes, he compromises.
"Master, the winter melons are ripe. Are you still buying them at the same price as last year?"
"Well, it's the same price as last year, still the same as always. Give 50 kilograms to Brother Xia, kilograms to Doctor Zhu, kilograms to Brother Shui, kilograms to Brother Wu, and kilograms to each store owner. Keep kilograms at home, and anyone who wants to eat can go to the warehouse to get it."
"Okay, little master."
Brother Han also did it quickly and put the winter melons in the rice shop for sale. The villagers in Yunling County have gotten used to it. Every once in a while in early summer, the rice shop will have some new fruits and vegetables, which are delicious and inexpensive.
The first batch of wine brewed by the shopkeeper Gui has been fermented and was sent directly to the village. Lan Euan put it into the space when no one was paying attention, so he could only make it slowly.
Lan An now likes to stay in the space. After all, the space has a constant temperature and is very cool. As long as Zhang Xiaomo is not at home, Lan An will hide in the space. When Zhang Xiaomo is at home, Lan An will stay close to Zhang Xiaomo.
The arrival of the two little ones did not bring any changes to their lives. After all, they only played with them for a while during the day. The little ones were still too young and slept most of the day. Aunt Li took good care of them and rarely saw them cry.
Sun Baozhu can crawl now. Zhang Xiaohua would leave her at the Zhang family when she was busy. It's no wonder that she is quite popular among the Zhang family. They all like to tease her with food. But she still needs someone to watch over her, otherwise she will stuff anything she touches into her mouth. The ones who get teased the most are Xiaohui's two puppies. They often have their tails grabbed by her and stuffed into her mouth, although Brother Kong always rescued them in time.
After two days of coaxing and begging, and after signing a series of unequal treaties, Lan'an finally got to eat the chilled watermelon. Of course, it was only a small piece, and Lan'an's tongue was a little scratched, but it didn't prevent him from eating the watermelon.
"Wow, so sweet and so icy."
Lan An was so happy that his eyes were narrowed and his cheeks were puffed up, like a little hamster. Zhang Xiaomo couldn't help but pinch Lan An's cheeks. Lan An just quickly put the watermelon that he had finally got into his arms, and then turned his back to Zhang Xiaomo.
"An An, give your husband a bite."
Seeing that Lan Euan was so cute, Zhang Xiaomo couldn't help but want to tease her.
"There are so many, why did Brother Xiaomo want to take mine?"
"An An, do you not love me anymore? You won't even let me eat a bite of the cold melon. I used to be the first one to eat the food An An made. An An, are you tired of it?"
Hearing the word "tired", Lan An blushed a little. Without thinking too much, he handed the winter melon in his hand to Zhang Xiaomo. Zhang Xiaomo didn't hesitate and took a big bite. Lan An saw that Zhang Xiaomo had bitten off another half of the winter melon that was originally half left, and tears fell from his eyes. He worked so hard last night to get this small piece, and he only ate two or three bites, and now it was gone.
"Woo woo~ woo~, Zhang Xiaomo, you're bullying me."
Lan An angrily threw two pillows at Zhang Xiaomo, drove him out of the inner room, and hid in the space holding his small piece of cold melon.
Everyone in the Zhang family felt a little gloating when they saw the eldest boss being kicked out. Although they were curious, they didn't dare to ask. Zhang Xiaomo also felt that he was a bit too much, but Lan An was so cute that they couldn't help themselves. Maybe he was just that bad at heart.
"Brother Mo, why did you offend An Ge'er?"
"Ate half of his cold melon."
Everyone in the Zhang family looked at Zhang Xiaomo with some contempt. No wonder he was kicked out. The young master had finally gotten the winter melon, but you snatched it from him. Don't think that everyone doesn't know how you tortured the young master. Look at his red and swollen eyes and his peeling mouth. You are simply a beast in human skin.
"Anger only ate a small piece, it's not a big deal. Brother Mo, you're going a bit too far."
"Brother Kong, I was just teasing him."
Zhang Xiaomo cut another small piece of winter melon and walked into the room. He didn't see Lan Euan and thought that he had gone to the bathroom. He waited for a few minutes but still didn't see anyone.
Lan An heard Zhang Xiaomo calling him, but he was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Zhang Xiaomo looked around the inner room but didn't see Lan'an. He panicked and called Lan'an's name again with a trembling voice. Lan'an felt a little sorry and left the space holding a small piece of watermelon.
Zhang Xiaomo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lan An appear on the sofa. The cold melon in his hand fell to the ground and he hugged Lan An tightly, fearing that he would disappear.
"An An, don't disappear suddenly in the future."
"Brother Xiaomo, I'm sorry."
Zhang Xiaomo kissed Lan'an's lips, and her originally swollen mouth was completely broken. Lan'an hissed in pain.
"An An, if you disappear again next time, I will make you die in bed."
"Brother Xiaomo, this is disrespectful."
"I'm a scumbag, An An just realized it."
Lan An didn't say anything. Zhang Xiaomo went to pick up the winter melon that fell on the ground. Lan An felt a little distressed. He had only gotten a small piece these days and was reluctant to eat it. Zhang Xiaomo just threw a piece on the ground. He was really angry.
"Brother Xiaomo, you threw the winter melon on the ground and didn't even let me eat it."
"You little heartless thing, I was originally going to compensate you, but now it's gone."
Lan An looked at Zhang Xiaomo aggrievedly. Zhang Xiaomo hardened his heart and pretended not to see it. Lan An had no choice but to give up and silently finished eating the rest of the winter melon. He even started to gnaw on the flesh.
"I'll cut you another piece. You've eaten this cold melon cleaner than Little Gray ever did."
"Humph, it's all your fault."
"Yeah, it's all my fault. Don't be angry, An An. Don't disappear again. Do you hear me?"
"I know, Brother Xiaomo, I will always be with you and won't go anywhere."
The blue gum can be considered a blessing in disguise. From now on, I can eat a small piece of ice cold melon every day.
