Chapter 119

"I'll wait for you. Wait for you to send me to that courtyard, and then I'll live there with the child."

"Okay, I promise you."

Li Xuewu calculated that this batch of goods would be cleared in another four or five days. Wen San'er would have to withdraw, and Watching Lou Xiaoe could move in just right.

Counting the renovation of the house and courtyard, it would be cleaned up in three or four days, which meant that in a week at the earliest, Watching Lou Xiaoe could move in.

Li Xuewu comforted Watching Lou Xiaoe, put on his military overcoat, opened the door, and went out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Bang Geng sticking his butt out, filling the chicken trough with rice bran and chopped Chinese cabbage stalks mixed with chicken feed.

Seeing Li Xuewu come out, Bang Geng glanced at Li Xuewu suspiciously and lowered his head in fear.

Li Xuewu squatted in front of the chicken cage, looked at the two hens, and asked: "Where did the rice bran and cabbage come from?"

Bang Geng was still a bit afraid of Li Xuewu and mumbled: "The rice bran... was put in the small warehouse by Xu Shu, and the cabbage stalks were picked up from the rotten vegetable leaves that no one wanted when tidying up the courtyard..."

Li Xuewu nodded. He hadn't heard of this kid having any bad behavior these past few days, and he didn't see him leading his sisters around the courtyard for no reason.

"Feed these two chickens well. Your Xu Shu is not coming back, so these two chickens count as ours—one for you and one for me."

"Really?" Bang Geng asked in surprise when he heard this.

Li Xuewu reached out and pressed down on Bang Geng, who wanted to stand up, and said with a smile: "Do you still not believe what I say?"

"I believe, I believe." The little fatty nodded his big round head continuously.

Li Xuewu pointed at the chicken and asked: "Is chicken meat fragrant?"

"Fragrant! Especially fragrant."

"Are eggs delicious?"

"Delicious!"

"Then do you want to eat chicken often and eat eggs every day?"

"You're not lying to me?"

Seeing the little fatty wanting to stand up as soon as he got excited, Li Xuewu pressed him down again.

Bang Geng stood up, and it was tiring for him to look up and talk, and it was also tiring for him to stand up and look down at Bang Geng to talk.

"What do you have that's worth me lying to you about?"

"Seems... nothing... right..." The little fatty thought about it and replied.

"Think about it, we have two chickens. The chickens lay eggs, we hatch the eggs into chicks, and when they grow up, they lay eggs. Do you think what I just said about eating chicken often and eating eggs every day can come true?"

"It can, it can." The little fatty nodded in agreement, and there was already a kind of light called the future in his eyes.

Li Xuewu said again: "Let's determine the order first. For now, I'll eat the eggs, and when the chicks grow up, I'll let you eat the meat first. What do you think?"

"But..." The little fatty looked at Li Xuewu and hesitated before saying: "Without a rooster, the eggs laid by the hen can't hatch chicks."

"...... You really know a lot. Who taught you?"

"My grandma. I asked my grandma why my mom couldn't give birth to a little brother for me again......"

"Bang Geng~!"

Li Xuewu had just heard Bang Geng say half of it when he was interrupted by a voice behind him. He turned his head and saw it was Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu walked over with a blushing face and a twisting body.

"Are you done feeding? You're going to be late for school, hurry up and go to school."

After saying that, she glared at Li Xuewu with spring in her eyes and said: "Can you teach him something good?"

"You're really wronging me; I didn't say a word," Li Xuewu replied with a smile.

Bang Geng nodded repeatedly: "My Wu Shu is a good person. He just said he would give me a chicken, and he said we would eat chicken often and eat eggs every day in the future."

Qin Huairu tapped Bang Geng on the forehead and said: "You think anyone who gives you something is a good person; sooner or later, you'll be sold by someone."

Li Xuewu interjected: "Hey, hey, what kind of talk is that!"

Bang Geng raised his big head at Qin Huairu and said: "It's true," with an expression as if his mother was wronging a good person.

Li Xuewu looked at Qin Huairu and said: "He has to be worth money for me to sell him. This half-grown kid, no one wants him even if you give him away."

Hearing this, Bang Geng's expression of raising his head suddenly stiffened, as if he had been hurt.

Qin Huairu touched her son's head and laughed: "Your Wu Shu is joking with you."

After saying that, she asked Li Xuewu: "What's going on with that chicken?"

Li Xuewu said to Bang Geng: "Hurry up and go to school after feeding. Don't you want to eat chicken meat and eggs?"

Hearing Li Xuewu's vague words, Bang Geng took it for granted that Li Xuewu was serious with him and wasn't teasing him, so he ran home happily.

Seeing Bang Geng leave, and since they were now at Watching Lou Xiaoe's door, it wasn't convenient to say much. Li Xuewu said to Qin Huairu: "Xu Damao mortgaged the house to me and left in a hurry. He also gave me the chickens. It just so happens that Bang Geng can continue to feed them, and I'll give you half of the eggs later."

g.

"Really?"

As if afraid of Li Xuewu misunderstanding, she added: "I mean, did Xu Damao really move away?"

Li Xuewu replied with a smile: "Really, the two questions you asked are both true."

Qin Huairu smiled embarrassedly and secretly blamed herself for talking too much.

Li Xuewu stood up and patted the chicken cage, saying: "Bang Geng performed well, so he should be given some rewards. Good children are praised. Correctly guiding him to know how to exchange labor for rewards is the second step you should take as a mother."

Li Xuewu walked out as he spoke.

Qin Huairu thought that this Li Xuewu was a real man; he gave away the chicken just like that, and it was right to teach his son a few words.

Well, Li Xuewu is such a selfless good person.

Qin Huairu looked back at the two chickens in the cage, then looked at Xu Damao's room, and followed Li Xuewu.

"Since you said Bang Geng has learned to be good, don't let Bang Geng do the work of sweeping the courtyard anymore."

Qin Huairu trotted to catch up with Li Xuewu and discussed coquettishly.

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at her, saying: "Do you really think sweeping the courtyard is punishing Bang Geng?"

"Why?"

Seeing Qin Huairu's confused expression, he twisted his mouth and signaled toward Jia Zhangshi, who was looking over here through the glass.

Seeing Li Xuewu's signal, Qin Huairu also saw her mother-in-law monitoring her, and instantly understood that Li Xuewu was deliberately punishing her mother-in-law.

Jia Zhangshi wouldn't let her grandson get tired, so she got up early every day to tidy up the courtyard, for fear that Bang Geng's small body would get sick.

Seeing her mother-in-law monitoring her, Qin Huairu didn't know why she got energetic, deliberately swung her fist and gently hammered Li Xuewu's back, but the force of the fist was the same as that night.

Her face showed an even more fox-like smile, and she said coquettishly: "You're so mean!"

This smile and action made Jia Zhangshi roll her eyes.

Li Xuewu also knew that Qin Huairu was deliberately angering her mother-in-law, but he couldn't guarantee that this woman didn't have other motives, so he twisted his back and ran two steps faster jokingly.

"It feels quite comfortable to be hammered, but one hammer is not enough."

"If you want more, wait until you tidy up the house, and I'll come to your house every day to hammer your back."

Qin Huairu was really someone who had seen it all; women really see things clearly after 30.

Li Xuewu secretly thought that this woman was going crazy, daring to say anything. He couldn't afford to provoke her, so he hid, running out of the middle courtyard laughing.
