Chapter 008: Both Likes and Favorites
Mrs. Xiao sent away the village chief and the village chief's daughter-in-law, closed the door and went back to the back room, and saw her granddaughter and grandson sitting on the kang and playing with the rope, looking naïve and ignorant, and I didn't know whether it was good or bad to marry her granddaughter so early.

But since the marriage has been decided, it has to be handled, and the two members of the Xiao family's big house are still alive today, but because they had a dirty relationship with Mrs. Xiao and her husband when they split up in the past, they were not close.
Xiao Lao Er disappeared later, and the Xiao family's big house made a big fuss about it, wanting to share Xiao Lao Er's family wealth, and almost went to court, and since then, the Xiao family's two rooms have completely lost contact.
So Mrs. Xiao is going to marry her granddaughter now, and she didn't plan to tell the Xiao family's big house at all, so she got up early the next morning, had breakfast, and went to the town to buy a dowry for Xiao Jiu in the village ox cart.
Yan Xi got up early to practice boxing, so he went to the mountain to chop two bundles of firewood and sent them to the Xiao family, just in time for Mrs. Xiao to leave not long ago, there were only two sisters and brothers left in the family.
When he opened the door and saw Yan Xi, Xiao Jiu was a little surprised, and soon saw the two bundles of firewood he was carrying, and he was even more surprised, "You came to deliver firewood to my house?"
Turning sideways, Xiao Jiu let Yan Xi enter the door and went to the firewood room with him to put firewood.
"Didn't you say there was no firewood?" Yan Xi still remembered that when he went to put firewood yesterday, there was not much firewood left in the backyard of the Xiao family, so he remembered it.
"It's not safe in the mountains, don't go to the mountains alone in the future. ”
There were many people who went to the mountains to chop wood, and Yan Xi was worried that the little girl would encounter something that was not long-sighted, and she was frightened.
Yan Xi is now her fiancé, and she will be her husband after a while, so Xiao Jiu spoke presumptuously, delicate and soft, with a coquettish meaning: "Then you go with me, okay?"
Yan Xi felt that his ears were itchy, his heart was also itchy, and the little girl's delicate voice seemed to have magical power, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Hmm. Yan Xi glanced at the little girl, lowered his eyes and suppressed the impulse in his heart, put away all the firewood with his hands and feet, and followed the little girl to the yard, saw her walk to the well to prepare to draw water, and strode over.
"I'll do it. Yan Xi couldn't help but take the wooden bucket in Xiao Jiu's hand, and his fingertips accidentally rubbed her smooth and soft palms, her body suddenly stiffened, and the tips of her ears quietly turned red.
The feeling of numbness in his fingertips made Yan Xi a little unaccustomed, but he was very happy in his heart, he lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl's pink and tender face, a heart full of heart, as if something could overflow at any time.
Xiao Jiu didn't feel that there was any fuss about being touched by her hand, but the strange thing was that she felt that her palm was hot, and when she noticed Yan Xi's gaze, she hurriedly clenched her fists behind her back, raised her head and said in a coquettish voice: "I'll bring you a handkerchief, you wash it with water, your face is full of sweat." ”
The little girl was very calm, but Yanxi didn't miss her backhand movement, she felt funny for a while, and she thought that the little girl was so cute?
"Good. ”
Yan Xi responded with a sullen smile, easily fetched a bucket of water from the well, poured it into the wooden basin by the well, took the clean handkerchief handed by the little girl and washed his face.
Xiao Douding Xiao Chen looked on the small bench, watching his sister, who usually likes him the most, circling around the annoying man, without even looking at him, tears rolling in his eyes, and his mouth was very sad.
Yan Xi turned around, and saw the future brother-in-law glaring at him with tears in his eyes, and his cute little face showed a nasty expression, he was slightly stunned, and whispered to the little girl: "Ah Chen doesn't like me?"
"Huh?" Xiao Jiu subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen.
Looking at his sister, Xiao Douding became more and more aggrieved, tears fell down, and he only shed tears like this, and there was no sound in his mouth, which made Xiao Jiu feel very distressed.
"Why are you crying?" Xiao Jiu didn't blindly persuade him, but wiped away his tears from Xiao Douding very patiently, and said softly: "You are six years old, you are a man in the family, the pillar of the family, why do you still shed tears at every turn?"
"I don't like him to come to our house!" Xiao Douding was also very aggrieved, obviously her sister said that she liked him the most, but as soon as that person came, her sister didn't look at him.
"Why?" Xiao Jiu frowned slightly, his expression slightly serious.
Yanxi has no relatives, and he doesn't understand Xiaodouding's grievances, but he just watched the little girl wipe her brother's tears so gently, but she didn't blindly spoil her, her words and deeds revealed a stern appearance, and her heart seemed to be more and more restless.
Xiao Douding sobbed and asked, "Does my sister like me the most?"
Xiao Jiu didn't answer Xiao Chen's question directly, but asked very seriously: "Then Ah Chen likes me the most, or does he like Grandma the most?"
Xiao Douding was stunned, this question is difficult for him to choose, his sister and grandma both love him, he also likes his sister and grandma, but if he wants to divide a favorite, he doesn't know how to choose?
"My sister and grandma are both Ah Chen's relatives, and they both like Ah Chen the same, is Ah Chen the same?"
Xiao Douding couldn't wait to nod, "I like them all!"
"Then why does Ah Chen ask my sister if she likes you the most?" Xiao Jiu's tone didn't blame, but asked gently: "What if my sister says that she likes Ah Chen the most, and Grandma is sad?"
Xiao Douding stopped crying, but she was still a little aggrieved, and lowered her head and obediently admitted her mistake: "Sister, I'm sorry." ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter. ”
Xiao Jiu easily got rid of the jealous little bean ding, stood up with a smile, turned to Shang Yanxi's smiling eyes, and blushed when he came, a little embarrassed.
"It's noon, it's time to cook. ”
After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, he slipped into the kitchen, Xiao Douding wiped his tears, trotted over, and went to light the fire for his sister.
Yan Xi chuckled, and his cold and indifferent facial features were much softer because of this smile, making his already good-looking face more and more clear.
His little girl is really smart, obviously Xiao Chen felt wronged because of Yan Xi, but Xiao Jiu secretly changed his concept and pulled it on Mrs. Xiao, easily letting Xiao Douding divert his gaze and fool him perfectly.
"Xiao Jiu'er, are you not at home?"
A woman's voice came from the door, accompanied by a banging on the door.
Yan Xi strode over, opened the door, restored his indifferent face and gained a little more momentum that no one should enter, looking at the woman he didn't know outside the door, Yan Xi asked lightly, "Something?"
Aunt Huaihua was taken aback by Yan Xi, covered her heart and took a step back, raised her head and looked at it for a while, only to recognize that this was a young man living next door to the Xiao family, inexplicably worried that Xiao Jiu'er was being bullied, and looked at the courtyard and asked, "Aunt Xiao is not there?"
"No. Yan Xi blocked at the gate, without the slightest intention of inviting someone in.
Aunt Huaihua's face changed slightly, "What about Xiao Jiu'er?"
