90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 110 Have souls been exchanged?

Bai Lu held a glass of water in one hand and sat across the table, looking at Xiao Cheng from afar.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Cheng stood up and left.

Bai Lu: “…”

"where are you going?"

 She immediately put down her water glass and chased him out.

The only person in the family who can let Xiao Wei open the door is Xiao Cheng, so we can't let him run away!

 “Make dinner.” Xiao Cheng didn’t run away, he just walked into the kitchen and said a word indifferently.

Bai Lu followed him in.

　　The sky is getting dark and night is about to fall. It is indeed time to start work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

 It’s dinner time. The vegetables have been washed and cut. All we have to do is wash the rice and put it in the pot, cook the rice and stir-fry the vegetables.

 Xiao Cheng took the pot to the rice vat to measure the rice, and Bai Lu followed behind: "When the rice is ready, can you ask Xiao Wei to come out to eat?"

 “He will come out on his own.” Xiao Cheng refused to call anyone.

After measuring enough rice for three people, he went out to wash and wash the rice. There was a bucket of water next to the well and a ladle to ladle the water.

Bai Lu very diligently stepped forward to **** the ladle, scooped water and poured it into the pot for him: "Then you knock on the door and I'll ask Xiao Wei to come out."

Xiao Cheng said nothing, and sank his big hands into the pot, washing rice, washing and washing.

Bai Lu wanted to grab his hand out when she saw it. There was no gold in the pot, so why did it take so long to pan for it?

   It’s just a little demon who only wants to hurt people!

Under the intense gaze from beside him, Xiao Cheng finally finished washing the rice, poured out the water and washed it again.

Bai Lu: “…”

“How about I do the washing and you cook?”

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her profile: "I wanted to cook yesterday, and you said you would cook in the future."

"That's because you said that I can pay the rent by cooking. If you cook, how can I pay the rent." Bai Lu said righteously.

 “Then you go ahead and speculate.” Xiao Cheng refused to fight.

Bai Lu nodded seriously: "Of course I have to fry. I should cook to pay the rent."

　I didn’t realize until I finished speaking that the topic had been taken astray.

After being angry for three seconds, Bai Lu decisively returned to the topic: "Then it's a happy decision. I'll prepare the meal later. You knock on the door and I'll ask Xiaowei to come out for dinner."

Xiao Cheng couldn't disagree with this "happy decision". Bai Lu had already gone back to the kitchen to light the fire.

The water ladle was also put back into the bucket and no more water was poured out for him.

The rice was finally freed from being scrubbed, and was placed firmly on the stove, transforming into fragrant rice.

 The fire in the stove ignited and burned more and more fiercely.

 The chimney started to work, and the smoke was rising.

Every house in the town lights up, the crisp sound of pots and spatulas clashing is heard, and the world is full of smoke and fire.

 A table of delicious food will be ready in no time.

Xiao Cheng watched the girl take off her apron, wash her hands, and then pulled him up and headed towards the main house.

Going to a closed door, she grabbed his big hand with her little hand and knocked on the door three times.

“Xiaowei, it’s time for dinner, come out quickly, there is braised pork that you like today~”

 No response from the door.

Bai Lu tightened her palms and raised her head to look at Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng's hand was still held by her. He was silent for a moment, and then he spoke: "Come out to eat."

The indifferent and cold voice is like a universal lock.

As soon as it fell, the door opened.

The little guy looked up at the man outside the door. His eyes were not swollen, but his eye sockets were red. His small body was fine, but his small hands were tightly grasping the hem of his clothes.

The little lips pursed, as if to say something.

But before he could speak, the man turned around and left, taking Bai Lu away who was still in a daze.

 The little figure could only lower his head and follow.

 At the dinner table

Bai Lu frequently feeds Xiao Wei braised pork and asks him to eat more. Now is the time to grow taller.

Xiao Wei, however, couldn't eat. He could usually eat a big bowl of rice, but tonight he only had a few bites and stopped eating.

 The braised pork in the bowl was eaten for a long time under the cold gaze of the man. But he also moved the bowl away at the same time, silently refusing Bai Lu's offer to pick up the food again, staring down at the rice bowl without moving.

Children are not as able to hide their emotions as adults, and their sad and sad faces are all written on their faces.

Xiao Cheng was as usual, eating with gusto and without any unnecessary emotion on his face.

This strange contrast made Bai Lu feel a little dazed, wondering if the souls of the two brothers had been exchanged.

 Why did Xiao Cheng have no reaction at all when he heard the news that she was not pregnant?

When Xiao Wei heard that she was not pregnant, he was so sad that he couldn't even eat, and his eyes turned red with sadness.

Bai Lu looked at it carefully over and over again and found that the boss was still a boss and his aura could not change.

Classmate Xiaowei is still classmate Xiaowei. He is afraid that the boss will be unhappy, so he counts the rice grains and swallows a bowl of rice.

Even so, when he was washing his clothes after taking a bath, the little guy still had his shoulders slumped and didn't speak.

 After drying the clothes, I went back to the room.

Bai Lu looked at the direction where the little figure disappeared, and then at Xiao Cheng who was washing clothes.

"I gonna go see?"

Xiao Cheng’s silence represents agreement.

This time, there was no response when he knocked on the door. Xiao Wei opened the door, turned around and walked back.

 Don’t even care who is outside the door.

 Without even a glance.

Bai Lu followed.

The little guy sat back at the table, staring at the Chinese books on the table, silently and without moving his eyes.

 I didn’t even turn a page for half a day.

I don’t know if I have noticed it.

Bai Lu took a chair and sat next to him, and said softly: "Are you still reading so late at night?"

"Um."

 He was willing to reply with at least one word.

　　means you are willing to communicate, and so do the bosses.

Having been here for so long, Bai Lu has probably figured out the characters of these two brothers, except for Xiao Cheng who is in the irritable stage.

Knowing that the little guy no longer resisted touching his head, Bai Lu raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of his hair.

 Speaking softly: "If you don't understand anything, if you want to ask questions, you can ask me and I will answer them."

The little guy looked up at her with red eyes: "Is there really no nephew?"

　　Bai Lu pondered for a moment, but then repeated what he said in the afternoon: "Never."

 Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Seven-year-old children are also human beings. They also have memories and the right to know the truth. They cannot be deceived.

After hearing this, Xiao Wei opened the drawer and said, "But I have prepared a precious gift for my little nephew."

 The little voice seemed to be crawling up from the depths of the throat, faintly trembling, and a little bit stubborn about not wanting to retreat.

Bai Lu looked at the drawer subconsciously.

Um…

precious gift…

 It is two pieces of colored bubble gum and a pack of spicy strips.

 Bai Lu’s first reaction was to hold back laughter, but her second reaction was to feel sad. Spicy strips and bubble gum were indeed Xiao Wei’s favorite snacks. They were precious because they liked them.

 The drawer opened a little further.

There's something else inside.

 Five longevity cakes, two wife cakes, and a small handmade wooden rattle.

The small wooden rattle is very crudely made. It is made of logs chopped with a hatchet and nailed with small iron nails to form a small round drum. The beads on the drum surface are small green glass balls. The chain is made of small hemp ropes twisted by hand. It’s full of heart.

  Xiao Wei rarely expresses whether he likes or dislikes him. Bai Lu didn't even know that he was looking forward to his little nephew so much.

 She picked up the small wooden rattle, her palms warm: "Did you make this?"
