When Xie Jingchen entered the bathroom, his heart was equally restless. The tub of light blue misty bathwater confird the suspicions he had in his mind earlier.
It seems that, at so point, he had fallen into soone else’s trap!
At the sa ti, he could only think of two people.
Wang Xiuxiu!
Zheng Changqing!
Right now, the only ones who could make him feel a sense of danger were these two people.
And, for so reason, these two had beco accomplices!
Thinking about what his little wife said, "from head to toe," and looking at the light blue ’bathwater’ again, Xie Jingchen thought with a headache—after he finished washing, would he turn into a Blue Star person?
After the bath, Xie Jingchen felt he had overthought it; he didn’t beco a Blue Star person, but he felt like he was about to beco a ’White Star Person’.
The water was obviously light blue, so why did he feel that he beca even paler after taking a bath?
Xie Jingchen saw his skin that had gotten several shades lighter in the mirror, and left the bathroom with a dark face.
Zhang Shanni saw the clean man coming out and imdiately showed her lovesick eyes, smiling and waving to him.
"Husband, co here, have a drink of water to recover a bit. Oh, you ca back at just the right ti, your little uncle has arrived, you’ll be able to see him later. Dad, Xiao Si, and the others took him to wander around nearby."
"Did Jingyang co?" Xie Jingchen heard it was his own Fifth and imdiately felt relieved with a caring concern.
"Yep, he was cornered by Wang Xiaocui in school to the point where he couldn’t attend lessons normally, so he just got special permission from the school to take the graduation exam early. His grades were fine, so he got his diploma and ca here."
As Zhang Shanni spoke, she pulled his big hand, making him sit down, then draped a large towel over his head, and gently rubbed to dry his crew cut.
"Okay. Who else has co?"
Xie Jingchen leaned against his little wife’s belly, his big ears against her bulging abdon, heard the ’gurgle gurgle’ sound of water flow inside, his face lightened up with a smile. He stroked in circles and affectionately cuddled for a while before habitually greeting them: "Big Bao, Little Bao, daddy’s back."
"Hmph, it’s that Zhang Baonni," Zhang Shanni dropped the big towel in her hand, wrapped her arms around her husband’s big head, and replied helplessly.
"Her? Why is she here? This place is far from our hotown. She’s a married woman... is her husband from the neighboring L Town?!" Speaking of which, Xie Jingchen rembered all the details about Zhang Family and could co up with an answer himself.
"L Town? I really don’t know, she ca to demand the dowry that Uncle and Aunt had given , saying that I’m not a Zhang Family’s daughter, so how could I covet their Zhang Family’s dowry."
Zhang Shanni saw the man kissing her belly, her mouth turned in a pout, this man was getting more biased, coming back and not kissing his wife, only caring about kissing her belly?! "Humph~~"
"Little jealous jar." Xie Jingchen straightened up his back and naturally kissed Zhang Shanni’s pouting lips, his big tongue tightly patrolling around his own territory for a few rounds, then reluctantly let go of the tightly pressed lips. His two big hands rested on her lower back, gently soothing:
"That family is nuts. Don’t be mad, wife. Forget about those things. If you don’t want them, don’t want them. I will earn better ones for you in the future," Xie Jingchen coaxed.
Zhang Shanni was pleased. After kissing him back, she stepped back and said with a smile:
"I wasn’t mad to begin with. I don’t care about those little things. I’m just worried Uncle and them might feel upset. Alright, it’s almost ti for dinner. Let’s head downstairs quickly so mom and the baby aren’t left waiting. Dad and the others should be back by now."
It’s getting late. After coming here, the Xie Family has also adapted to the local customs and gotten into the habit of having dinner around seven or eight o’clock.
"Okay." Xie Jingchen nodded upon hearing this, released his wife, and walked downstairs in his shorts and short-sleeved shirt, supporting Zhang Shanni who was still dressed in a long-sleeved maternity dress.
Zhang Shanni was always envious of seeing n in their refreshing shorts and short sleeves. When could she wear her comfy shorts from her space?
Just when the returning Xie Tiesheng and the others saw Xie Jingchen helping Zhang Shanni downstairs, everyone was pleasantly surprised. After a joyous family dinner, each held a cup of floral tea and chatted away.
Actually, most of the conversation revolved around Xie Jingchen and Xie Jingyang.
The main topic was discussing Xie Jingyang’s work.
Xie Jingchen had already heard from his parents about his little wife’s assessnt. If it were the him from before, he would definitely be that way, but now he’s at least a Rongwei Chief of a key Rong District, and getting a person with real qualifications into a junior high school position is simple.
As for elentary schools, the conditions are truly limited. Xie Family mbers, especially the descendants of the main line, are required, no matter how poor, to spend an hour in the ancestral hall each day to recite clan rules and family disciplines guided by the elders.
In Qingfeng Village, there are no illiterate people among the Xie and Zhou families. Even the newly entered wives, as long as they are willing, can learn to read alongside the children who are being enlightened.
Of course, the clan elders won’t formally teach these won. They rely follow along with the children to recognize so characters, relying entirely on their self-discipline.
The ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s could be said to be the harshest decades for learning. Basic literacy often ca without books, and even if there were, they were likely Red X Books and the like.
Every character was taught by the elders, one by one on the ground.
With the knowledgeable teaching the unknowing, the old guiding the young, a tradition has been earnestly passed down from generation to generation, and that is the foundation of both the Xie and Zhou families.
Listening to her husband chatting with the family, Zhang Shanni felt nothing but peace in her heart. This was the life she wanted, a beautiful simplicity worth securing against all possible dangers!
After the excitent settled down, Xie Jingzi began to round up the children for their baths. Owing to Xie Jingyang’s visit, Xiaoqi willingly said she wanted to sleep with her little aunt.
Actually, in her heart, Xiaoqi also wanted to sleep with her dad. But dad is a boy, and she is a girl, so she can’t just sleep with boys!
Thinking about what Little Yaya had said, Xiaoqi felt she had grown up too and should be ’sensible’!
It brought the whole family to laughter, and yet it only softened Xie Jingyang’s heart further. He sweetly convinced his little daughter to agree to ’grow up’ in a few more days and to sleep with her timid dad for the ti being...
After the commotion, Zhang Shanni started feeling sleepy. Since Xie Jingchen hadn’t accompanied his parents for several days and surely had much to talk about, she went upstairs to sleep using her drowsiness as an excuse.
Xie Jingchen first helped his little wife upstairs before coming down to catch up with his parents.
After so thought, Xie Jingyang decided to tell Third Brother everything that had happened back ho. Finally, he also ntioned the incident Wang Xiaocui blurted out in her emotional state – Wang Junxuan offending soone outside and being beaten into a vegetative state.
Xie Jingchen, upon hearing about the matter, of course, inford him that Wang Junxuan was currently in the military hospital, under surveillance.
