Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Junjun is still at ho. We’re not going to leave you alone and go traveling the world. Sothing happened and delayed our return, that’s why we ca back so late. We’re not going to abandon Junjun and let you be alone!” Zhao Chuchu said with a smile.
Xie Jun raised his head and looked at Zhao Chuchu with misty eyes. He sniffled and said, “Really?”
“Of course,” Zhao Chuchu said as she rubbed his head, “Junjun is such a good boy. Why would we leave you?”
Xie Jun finally stopped crying as a smile appeared on his face.
Xie Heng said helplessly, “You’re a man. n don’t cry. We stay strong and fight. Clean up your tears, don’t let other people laugh at you.”
“Okay.” Xie Jun hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve.
Zhao Chuchu saw Xie Jun’s action and took out a handkerchiefto wipe his face for him. Xie Heng took over the handkerchief and cleaned Xie Jun’s face thoroughly. “Go wash up.”
Xie Jun ran to the water vat to get so water so he could wash his head. He feared Xie Heng would get angry if he were too slow.
Xie Heng told Zhao Chuchu to sit down and rest while he packed up the things they had bought in the past few days.
“Bro, anything for ?” Xie Jun ran over and asked after washing his face. As he helped Xie Heng to pack up, he said, “I’ve been behaving very well at Grandpa Gan’s house.”
Before Xie Heng left Yuanjiang County, he sent Xie Jun to Gan Maosheng’s place and asked Gan Maosheng to take care of him. Right before they ca back, he sent a mail to the Gan clan and asked them to temporarily send Xie Jun back to the Chen clan.
“Yup, I’ll give it to you when we’re done packing, alright?” Xie Heng asked gently.
Xie Jun nodded profusely. “Okay!”
Zhao Chuchu saw that the two brothers were getting busy, so she also returned to her room to clean up.
Xie Jun looked at the room, then asked Xie Heng softly, “Bro, you and sis stayed outside for so long. Did you manage to produce a little nephew for ?” Xie Heng was speechless.
Xie Jun pouted his lips and said, “Bro, if you’re not capable of giving birth to a little nephew, you should ask sis to help you do a check-up! Grandma Gan said that couples usually have children a few months after getting married. You and sis have been married for so long. Why haven’t you given birth to a little nephew for yet?”
Xie Jun had wanted to be an uncle for a long ti, yet Zhao Chuchu’s tummy hadn’t changed at all, which made him sowhat disappointed.
Why was it so difficult to have a little nephew?
“I can help to take care of my little nephew,” Xie Jun said earnestly, “He won’t disturb you and sis.”
Xie Heng didn’t know what to say.
Where did this kid learn all this crap from?
“Xie Jun, I still need to study. If we had a child, your sis would have a very difficult ti taking care of the kid because I wouldn’t be able to make ti to take care of the child. Junjun, being a father isn’t that easy, and we can’t just let the mother take care of the child. That’s why your sis and I aren’t going to have a child yet.’
Although Xie Heng felt rather speechless, he still decided to explain it to Xie Jun.
Xie Jun mumbled, “But I can help you…”
“But you can’t replace the child’s father. I love your sis and don’t want her to be too tired. Jun Jun, you also don’t want your sis to suffer and be exhausted all day, right?”
“No, that’s why I want to help.”
“But you can’t take care of her and the child like a husband and father.”
Xie Jun thought about it. Xie Heng had a point.
Sigh, that ans no little nephew for now.
“Is it really not an issue with your body?” Xie Jun was a little suspicious.
Xie Heng was speechless again.
It wasn’t difficult for him to guess that Old Mrs. Gan probably said sothing to Xie Jun.
Xie Heng didn’t know whether he should be thankful or mad at such “goodwill.”
“Nop.”
“Okay.”
Xie Jun felt like he should ask sis about it in secret.
At this point, Xie Jun was still a child and didn’t know how to hide his thoughts. Xie Heng could imdiately tell what he was thinking.
But Xie Heng had always been very forgiving toward Xie Jun. Of course, he wouldn’t get angry at him for such a small matter.
However, Xie Heng made sure to rember this incident. One day, he was going to get back at Xie Jun for this.
Rushing him to have a child? He’ll get a taste of it himself!
Xie Jun didn’t know how much pressure his much-desired little nephew would bring on him in the future.
Zhao Chuchu heard the conversation from inside the room. She didn’t know how to respond to it.
Xie Jun’s desire to be an uncle had far exceeded her imagination.
A child of Xie Heng and her… Co to think of it, Zhao Chuchu looked forward to it quite a bit. But Xle Heng was right. This wasn’t an opportune ti to have a child.
This body was still too young. It wasn’t suitable for bearing a child.
In Zhao Chuchu’s plan, the earliest age where she would have a child was 20 years old.
Both she and Xie Heng would have many years to focus on their careers.
They would have a child sooner a later. There was no need to rush it.
Zhao Chuchu changed all of the bedding. Xie Jun knocked on the door and asked, “Sis, can I co in?”
“Yes,” Zhao Chuchu answered.
Xie Jun pushed open the door and entered the room, then walked to the bed and helped Zhao Chuchu flatten out the blanket by grabbing the corner and shaking it.
“Sis, are you still sleeping in separate rooms with my brother? Grandma Gan said that husband and wife shouldn’t sleep separately. That would give other bad won out there a chance to sneak in and invade the relationship. I just want you to be my sister-in-law and nobody else. Can you please not sleep in separate rooms from my brother?” Xie Jun looked at Zhao Chuchu with sad eyes.
Zhao Chuchu almost spat her water out.
But as she looked at Xie Jun’s pitiful expression, Zhao Chuchu couldn’t bring herself to reject him.
Besides, she had been sleeping in the sa bed as Xie Heng the whole way back. There seed to be no reason to sleep separately from Xie Heng after they had returned to Lengshui Village.
“Sis, please?”
“Why are you telling all these things?”
“I just saw that everyone else in the village sleeps together. Dad and mum used to do that as well.”
“How about we find a wife for Junjun as well, okay?”
Xie Jun’s face instantly turned red. He said shyly, “I’m still young. I don’t want a wife.
“After you get married, you can be a father instead of an uncle,” Zhao Chuchu continued to tease him.
Xie Jun shook his head profusely and said, “I don’t want a child, I can’t provide for him, and I can’t let you and your brother raise him for . You’ve already put in too much effort to raise . I’ll only get married when I grow up and can make money on my own.”
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t help but laugh. She rubbed his head and said, “Junjun, you also know that you want to get married?”
“No, it’s not. I…” Xie Jun forgot what he wanted to say after being interjected by
ZHao Chuchu.
How could he be a match for Zhao Chuchu in conversation?
He was defeated with just a few short sentences from Zhao Chuchu.
By the ti Xie Jun left Zhao Chuchu’s room, his mind was thinking about sothing completely unrelated.
Xie Heng asked him to help deliver so mail to other households in the village.
Just then, Niu Tongsheng arrived.
“You’re finally back in the village!” Niu Tongsheng exclaid upon seeing Xie Heng, “I was about to get soone to go search for the two of you.”
“What’s wrong?” Xie Heng knew about almost everything that had been happening in Lengshui Village, and he knew why Niu Tongsheng ca looking for them. However, he pretended to be unaware.
“More and more people want to do business with us recently, but we don’t have enough people working in the workshop. I was thinking, maybe we could hire more people, but I didn’t dare to decide while the two of you weren’t in the village.” Niu Tongsheng didn’t beat about the bush and got straight to the point.
“You can hire people as long as you find soone suitable. There’s no need to consult us. You can make the arrangents yourself.”
“I don’t own the workshop after all. Frankly, everyone here is related to so extent. If I hired one person and didn’t hire the others, so of them are bound to get upset. But it would be different if you were the one who made the decision. They wouldn’t dare to say anything even if they aren’t happy with it.”
“You’ve already chosen the people you want to hire?”
“Yup.”
Niu Tongsheng nodded.
This was also why he couldn’t reject them..
