Liang Jian: I have a canteen

"Xiao Hong!" Sister Hua scolded sternly.

Xu San waved his hand to stop him, "I'll think about it."

Xu San's voice wasn't loud, but it was very powerful, silencing Xiao Hong, who was about to argue, for three seconds.

"Brother-in-law, will you really marry me?" Xiao Hong asked softly, because Xu San's answer came so suddenly that she was not prepared at all.

“Actually, I’ve always known how you feel, it’s just that the circumstances were a bit special before,” Xu San said in a deep voice. “Now I understand everything.”

"Brother-in-law!" Xiao Hong's voice trembled. She took a few steps to Xu San, threw herself at him, and buried herself in his arms. "Brother-in-law, tell me, what do you understand?"

"It's hard to win the heart of a beauty."

"Hehe, you know that too!" Xiao Hong chuckled softly, snuggling into Xu San's arms like a mischievous kitten.

"Qianqian, I know how you feel," Xu San said softly to Sister Hua while comforting Xiao Hong.

Sister Hua smiled slightly, and all her words were contained in her captivating smile.

After a moment of silence, Sister Hua spoke up, "When did you take Xiao Hong in? That child has had a very hard life."

"Then tonight, after the little girl falls asleep." Xu San said calmly. Although his words were short, it seemed as if a shackle in his body was released after he finished speaking, making him feel much more relaxed.

Under the hazy moonlight and flickering lamplight, Xu San and his two companions sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), chatting casually about everyday matters, without discussing work.

Before they knew it, the sound of "thump! thump!" had begun to echo through the streets.

"It's past midnight!" Sister Hua said calmly. "I'll go check if Xiao Meizi and the others are asleep."

"Are you going to climb over the wall too?" Xu San asked with a smile.

“Then I’ll go see Yuanyuan!” Sister Hua said again.

At this moment, Xiao Hong suddenly stopped resisting, locked the door, looked at Sister Hua with a pitiful expression, and said, "Sister, you said you would watch me the first time."

Sister Hua rubbed her temples. "What did I say?"

"When I was ten years old!" "Eight years?" Sister Hua seemed to be recalling the past.

Xiao Hong walked to the octagonal table and gently turned off the kerosene lamp.

The small room suddenly became dark.

The moonlight slanted down, illuminating Xiao Hong's youthful and charming face. She carefully pulled Sister Hua onto the kang (heated brick bed), saying, "Sister, please don't bully me!"

"You brat!" Sister Hua pointed her finger. "Don't pretend in front of your brother-in-law."

"Hehe." Xiao Hong giggled, "He won't be my brother-in-law anymore soon, but my sister will still be my sister, and my younger sister will still be my younger sister."

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the clapper came again.

Human will determine

The people are at rest, and the night is deep and quiet.

The faint murmurs of a young girl drifted from the Xu family courtyard, and the atmosphere remained tense for a long time.

The murmurs gradually subsided around midnight.

After quite some time, Xu San, wearing a coat, came out of the room, went to a corner, and said softly, "After listening for so long, why don't you come down and join us?"

A moment later, Huan Ji's figure gradually emerged from the shadows. "I was just worried that you weren't up to par, and besides, you guys don't seem to really welcome me."

"They probably wouldn't object to this kind of thing."

"But I'm not in the mood for this kind of place. If you're interested, go across the street. I've bought that area."

"Isn't that the Tian family's property across the street?" Xu San asked warily.

"It's mine now. I bought it at a high price so it would be easier to serve you." (End of Chapter)
