For dinner, Xiao Cheng continued to wash Bai Lu's vegetables, bowls and clothes as before.

Bai Lu was a little depressed, Xiao Cheng didn't seem to be able to accept the fact that she didn't have a child in her belly.

No matter what, his irritable mood has been coaxed in the afternoon, and he will continue to talk about business in the evening.

Since they are not husband and wife, there is no need to sleep in a room and a bed, it was because of the child before, but now the fake pregnancy has been confessed, and it is enough to return to normal relationships.

Xiao Cheng returned to his room very late.

Bai Lu hadn't slept yet, sitting at the head of the bed with a book in her hand, dozing off while reading, obviously waiting for a long time.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she subconsciously looked up and saw familiar faces, and her eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile.

"You're back, come here."

Xiao Cheng glanced at the book in her hand, went over to take it, and put it back on the table: "I'll read it tomorrow."

When he came back, he lay down and covered the quilt.

Pull the rope, turn off the lights, and sleep.

Everything moved quickly but calmly, and when Bai Lu reacted, it was already pitch black in front of him.

The moonlight outside the window came in, and a glimmer of light fell on her pillow, and the man on the other pillow was on his face, with angular facial features, which were particularly three-dimensional in the night.

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "I can move to the utility room to sleep."

"Why?" Xiao Cheng asked with his eyes closed.

Bai Lu: "......"

Didn't you say that in the afternoon!

It's not a couple, so of course you can't sleep together!

"This bed is a bit small, I don't sleep well, sometimes I may kick the quilt, it will disturb your rest."

Xiao Cheng said, "Tomorrow it will be a big one."

Bai Lu: "......"

It's not a big bed, a small bed, okay!

"We are not ......"

"Sleep."

Bai Lu: "......"

"Only husbands and wives ......"

"I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Bai Lu wanted to say it now, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was grabbed by the big guy who suddenly got up, stuffed the whole person into the quilt, and helped her roll it into a safe dumpling.

When he was done, he lay back in his place.

Cover back your quilt, close your eyes, and say lightly: "I'm going to fry a lot of chestnuts tomorrow, go to bed early."

Bai Lu quickly calculated, Wang Cuihua, Wen Xiuyun, Yu Fugui, Chen Dafu, and Gao Fengzhen had already determined that Li Chengbin's group of subordinates would not come back, plus Wu Fangli, a total of five sales outlets, which is indeed a lot.

As time went on, the sales of sugar-fried chestnuts have skyrocketed, and there are a large number of food lovers in the city and town.

At least seven or eight hundred catties of chestnuts have to be fried every day.

If you don't go to bed early, it will affect the quality of sleep, and tomorrow you will not be in good spirits, and you will have no strength to fry chestnuts.

Bai Lu thought about it, but still felt that it was more important to make money, and the matter of sleeping separately would be talked about tomorrow.

After all, Xiao Cheng had already made it clear in the afternoon that he fried chestnuts and she cooked in the past few days.

It can't affect his sleep, if he doesn't sleep well and plays abnormally, the chestnuts will be scorched.

Things are prioritized, small things must make way for big things, and indecision cannot accomplish anything.

Bai Lu closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Maybe it's getting used to this bed.

Maybe it's because I'm used to the crisp breath around me.

Maybe he was very relieved by the man lying next to him, and hugged him a few times to sleep, but he didn't react.

Bai Lu slept soundly and was at ease.

….

I don't know when the big dumplings were lifted and when the people were fished out, and I never woke up from beginning to end.

Approaching the familiar embrace, the familiar breath, and even subconsciously nested in a comfortable posture and continued to sleep peacefully.

……

Early the next morning

Xiao Wei got up and went out as usual, and saw the sound of rubbing clothes by the well, and subconsciously looked over.

Directly dumbfounded.

Big brother didn't have it last night

Have you washed your clothes, why did you wash them again this morning, and wash the sheets!

The last time this happened was the morning after the eldest brother was drunk, Bai Lu was washing the sheets.

When Bai Lu washed the sheets, his face was very angry, but now the eldest brother washes the sheets, there is no expression on his face, he is not angry, and he is very calm.

Xiao Wei was confused, took a water cup and toothbrush, went to the well to press water and wash his face, but froze before he approached.

The big brother rubs the clothes in a large basin, there are ......

Yes, yes, there is blood!!

A basin of water is red!

Xiao Wei's eyes turned red instantly, and his little lips trembled and he made a sound: "Big brother is injured?"

Xiao Cheng, who was sitting on the bench by the basin and rubbing his clothes, glanced at him coldly when he heard this, and his brows furrowed.

"Wash your face and eat breakfast, and go to school."

Xiao Wei was not at all happy with his eldest brother replying to him, nor was he disappointed to be driven away by his irascible eldest brother.

Xiao Wei is very sad now.

The eldest brother is injured.

I must have gone out to fight again last night, and I didn't dare to let Bai Lu know, so I got up early in the morning to wash clothes.

The blood on the sheets must have been accidentally rubbed on the eldest brother's wound, for fear of being discovered by Bai Lu and making Bai Lu angry, so he changed it down early in the morning and washed it.

After washing, I didn't dare to dry it in the yard, for fear of being found out by Bai Lu and angry, so I took it to the dilapidated house that had been abandoned after the owner's house moved away a few years ago.

Xiao Wei brushed his teeth and washed his face silently, and finished his breakfast with a sad face, full of worries that it would be difficult to go to school.

I was thinking all the way about whether to tell Bai Lu about this matter and let Bai Lu take care of my eldest brother.

Don't let the eldest brother fight anymore, the injury bleeds so much, and the water is stained red......

Xiao Cheng basically buys the same style, color and size, two sets of exactly the same, clothes, bed sheets and covers, so when Bai Lu got up, he didn't find that the sheets had been changed.

The original "Bai Lu" also had two identical clothes, so Bai Lu didn't find anything.

After washing, sit quietly at the small square table and eat wontons, and watch Xiao Cheng fried chestnuts in front of the stove while eating.

There are too many chestnuts, and an electric chestnut stir-frying machine is definitely not enough, so he fries two pots at the same time.

One pot is electric, one pot is manual.

The rhythm is well controlled, there is not the slightest confusion, the stir-fry works normally, and the interval between adding syrup is just right.

The fried chestnuts are very fragrant, especially fragrant, and the burnt sweet aroma fills the whole kitchen, covering the wonton flavor.

As soon as Bai Lu finished eating the wontons, there was a noise outside, and she was so excited that she was about to fight.

"This basket is mine!"

"My!"

"Mine! Yours are gone, who told you to come so late today, it's mine!"

"If I don't come, Bailu will leave me chestnuts, this basket is mine, you go and get the basket on the right."

"I'm not going, this position has always been mine, and the chestnuts placed here are mine!"

There were five baskets of fried chestnuts with sugar in the front yard, but only the middle basket was the most popular, and the two of them were scrambling for it.

As soon as Bai Lu came out, the big basket was immediately put down.

"Bai Lu, you judge, he robbed my chestnuts." Wang Cuihua ran to Bai Lu's side and cried.

Seeing Xiao Cheng come out, he turned into a weak and aggrieved little white flower who was bullied miserably, and ran to Xiao Cheng three meters in front of him and cried: "Brother Xiao Cheng, you are commenting, he came late and played hooligan, he has to rob my chestnuts."
