In a blink of an eye, three days have passed, and Xiaowan's "sweet dream" still hasn't woken up.

She gets hot meals every day, she wears clean and beautiful clothes every day, she has a big tub full of hot water for her bath, and most importantly, everyone here treats her well.

It was dawn that day, Xiaowan got up to clean herself up, she was determined to help the store do some work no matter what today, this was the only thing she could repay Shopkeeper Ling and Aunt Zhang.

As soon as she walked out of the room, someone downstairs slammed the door of the store, Ling Chaofeng hurried down from the third floor in a robe, the two took a photo, Xiaowan is face flushed, Ling Chaofeng smiled and wanted to say hello, but the person knocking on the door outside the store was urgent.

It was a letter from the capital, the daughter-in-law of the little brother who was a Beijing official was pregnant, Aunt Zhang was very happy, and read a letter horizontally and vertically, and said: "That kid in Ershan is really capable." ”

didn't forget to squeeze out Ling Chaofeng: "It's much stronger than you." ”

Uncle Biao prepared breakfast and beckoned Xiaowan to come downstairs to eat, Pei'er stood on the third floor sleepily and shouted: "I want to pee......"

Xiaowan was the closest, so she took the initiative to pick up Pei'er and take him to her house to go to the toilet. After that, he washed his face and combed his hair, put on his clothes, and the little one, who was sober, immediately became lively.

When I went downstairs, Su Su also came with the child, and everyone discussed whether to send someone to the capital to take care of Lian Yi.

Lian Yi wrote in the letter that she didn't want her mother to go to Beijing, saying that it didn't matter if her mother lived at home, and she was afraid that her mother would turn around and get her brother's family to the capital, and then it would become a trouble for Ershan. The mother is in Lizhou, and she is taken care of by a maidservant, and she can spend her old age in peace.

"She said in the letter that now the old lady of Bifu is in the house, and she feels very sorry for her." Aunt Zhang said, "Why don't we wait for her to give birth, go to the capital, and see Lian Yi and the child, their house is not big, we will stay for a few days and come back." ”

Xiaowan led Pei'er to eat breakfast on the side, listening to their discussions, the family is obviously not related by blood, but they are extremely close to He Lele. And she has nothing to do with the inn, but they treat themselves like this.

At this time, Ling Chaofeng happened to look at Xiao Wan, the two looked at each other, Xiao Wan's heart jumped suddenly, and she avoided it in a panic, and gave the eggs in her bowl to Pei'er to eat.

After eating, she took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Aunt Zhang stopped her, Xiaowan said: "Auntie, let me do something, otherwise I won't be able to live, how can I eat and drink for nothing." ”

Aunt Zhang was helpless, so she said to Pei'er: "Take your aunt to the back door well, move a small bench, and take a cushion to sit on." ”

One big and one urinated happily to the back door, Su Su hugged the child and came to Aunt Zhang's side, and asked in a low voice: "Is the shopkeeper interesting, auntie, you urge." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Let him go, I won't urge him, he can't marry a daughter-in-law, and I won't have a piece of meat missing." ”

The two spoke, looking at Ling Chaofeng, Ling Chaofeng knew that he was being discussed, and his face was helpless.

At the back door of the well, Xiao Wan folded a small boat for Pei'er with leaves, and he sat aside and floated the boat in the water basin, having a lot of fun.

Xiaowan washed the dishes and chopsticks with her hands and feet, which was what she had to do every day at home, but this situation made her feel inexplicably familiar.

And it's not just about washing dishes, since I came to the inn, I always feel that something flashes in my head, but unfortunately I can't catch it.

She told herself not to think nonsense, the good days in front of her may end one day, and all the suffering will start again, and she can't live here for a lifetime.

Xiaowan quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the wooden basin, and asked Pei'er to go with her. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ling Chaofeng standing in front of him, and the man easily took the wooden basin: "I'll help you serve it." ”

Xiaowan was stunned, and when Ling Chaofeng left with the wooden basin, she followed: "Shopkeeper Ling, I'll do it myself." ”

Ling Chaofeng ignored it, went straight to the kitchen, Xiaowan followed to the backyard, saw the kitchen, saw a few living rooms on the side, and a small house at the very end, somehow, she actually knew that it was the bathing room.

She asked Pei'er if it was, and Pei'er nodded again and again.

Xiaowan felt very strange, she must have never been here, could it be that she had heard the people in the village mention it before?

Ling Chaofeng came out soon, and when he saw Xiaowan following him, he said, "You go and rest, there are people to do things in the store." ”

Xiao Wan lowered her eyes: "Shopkeeper Ling, my body is already well, I want to do some work, how much can I repay you." ”

"You don't have to repay it, you bought a sugar gourd for Pei'er, and I can't thank you."

"That's a few pennies, but I ......"

"Pei'er has been following you for the past few days, and I'm very happy. When the store was busy, we couldn't take care of him, so we had to leave him alone on the third floor. Now that you are with him, he is happy, and we are relieved. Ling Chaofeng said, "You've helped a lot." ”

Xiaowan said softly: "Pei'er is very well-behaved and cute, in fact, he relieved my boredom." ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled, and walked to the store, Xiao Wan stood in a daze, her heart churning terribly.

Does she like this shopkeeper Ling, does she like the feeling of being alone, she is not ashamed to say that she really wishes she could marry such a man, but how can she have such a good life.

She is not worthy of the shopkeeper Ling, not to mention anything else, she feels ashamed to let someone like Xu become the in-laws of the inn, and she doesn't know what trouble she will bring to the inn in the future.

The stepmother is very spicy and powerful, and she is also rampant and domineering in the village, no one dares to provoke her, so she is beaten by others just watching.

It's still good to watch, but some people take pleasure in it, gloating and pretending to persuade a few words on the side, but they deliberately poke the sore spot of the stepmother, and provoke her more and more to beat themselves.

The painful experience made her heart nauseous, and Xiaowan suddenly woke up, what was she thinking. What do you want to do about those things, even if there is only one day left, she must cherish her time at the inn.

Seeing Pei'er looking at her with blank eyes, she smiled and said, "Let's go to the back mountain to pick wild vegetables and catch insects." ”

Pei'er cheered and dragged Xiaowan to the back mountain.

Ling Chaofeng followed, standing at the back door and watching, one big and one small drilling into the mountain, he was very worried.

"If you're worried, go check it out." Aunt Zhang scooped up the rice, stood behind him and said faintly, "What's the use of just staring." ”

Ling Chaofeng looked at her at a loss.

Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "You see, put on clean clothes and eat rice for two days, and the whole child will become like a little fairy, such a beautiful girl like Shui Ling, but no one will see it hidden in the village, otherwise it must be loved by everyone, and you won't be able to grab it when the time comes." ”

Ling Chaofeng's expression was serious, and he held back for a long time before asking: "If you come to the door to propose, do you want to invite a matchmaker?" ”

Aunt Zhang smiled: "If you nod your head, I still don't think about it for you?" But first, you have to ask the girl if she is happy, you have a three-year-old fat boy to take care of. ”

Ling Chaofeng thought for a moment and followed the two into the mountain together.

In the mountains, Xiaowan had already picked some wild vegetables, but Pei'er, who caught insects, ran to her and dragged her skirt to see her.

The two of them pushed aside the grass, and saw a chick lying on the ground squeaking, Xiaowan looked up, and there was indeed a bird's nest in the tree, and there were several small birds calling in the bird's nest.

Pei'er carefully picked up the little chick: "Auntie, let's put it back." ”

Xiaowan stood on tiptoe and reached out, but she didn't even touch the branches, she said, "Pei'er, aunt is holding you, try to see if you can reach it." “

Saying that, she picked up the little fat man, and still had some strength to carry firewood on weekdays, but she was really small and her strength was limited.

Suddenly, as soon as her arm was loosened, Pei'er was taken away, Xiaowan looked up, and Ling Chaofeng appeared at some point.

He lifted Pei'er up easily, just to the top of the tree, and Pei'er carefully put the chicks back, counted them, and said happily, "There are five little birds, there are five." ”

Ling Chaofeng took advantage of the situation to put his son on his shoulder and asked her to pick the wild pear flowers on the tree, the white and delicate flowers were picked, Pei'er was so clever, she reached out and put it on Xiaowan directly.

Xiaowan blushed, touched the pear blossom on her sideburns, and her heart beat hard.

She seemed to have a flower on her head, and asked the little brother of the Wang family next door to pick it off, and Aunt Wang thought that she was seducing her son, so she asked her stepmother to beat her severely.

Now, father and son put flowers on her again.

"Auntie is so good-looking." Pei'er slapped her face, and Ling Chaofeng asked him to pick some more, and put them on for grandma and Aunt Susu later.

Pei'er was in a hurry, Ling Chaofeng disliked his son's stupidity, the little guy was anxious to sit on his shoulder and kick his legs, Ling Chaofeng said angrily: "You want to break your father's neck." ”

The father and son were arguing and laughing, Xiaowan looked at it stupidly, watching the white petals being shaken off by Pei'er, her heart was suddenly, tears unconsciously slipped from her face, and she blurted out: "Xianggong ......"

When these two words were pronounced, Xiaowan woke up, burning from her cheeks all the way to the base of her neck, she covered her mouth, was she crazy?

Fortunately, neither father nor son heard it.

Pei'er picked a few flowers, Ling Chaofeng put him down, glanced at Xiaowan, and saw that her cheeks were crimson, as if she had a fever, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Xiaowan girl, are you okay?" ”

Xiaowan shook her head, took a step back, and said that she was going to pick wild vegetables, but she didn't know that her skirt was hooked, and she fell to the sky, but a figure pounced on her and instantly hugged her waist.

Their faces were so close that they couldn't see Ling Chaofeng's appearance clearly.

"Are you alright?" Ling Chaofeng asked, looking closely, how could Xiaowan seem to have cried.

"It's okay...... Thank you, Mr. Ling. After Xiaowan stood firm, she quickly left the man's arms, but her back was hot, and the place where he hugged her was getting hotter and hotter.

Pei'er stood on the side and asked thoughtlessly, "Daddy, do you want to kiss your aunt?" ”
