Chapter 513: Chapter 350: Getting Along_2

Yun Doudou shook her head amusingly, “Thank goodness he’s your real brother.”

“Whether or not he’s my real brother, I have to tell the truth,” Luo Xiaoqiong said, laughing, “But I’m really satisfied now. The way my brother has turned out is beyond my wildest dreams. When I wrote to our parents about it, they were thrilled.”

“Once they hear about my brother and Zhang Erniu, I bet our parents will definitely want to come over to see and might even rush to the Zhang family to settle things down.”

“It’s the slack season in farming right now, so it really is possible,” Chuxia commented.

Yun Doudou looked enviously at them, “Your parents are really great, so tolerant towards their children. I wish my mom could be like that.”

In the whole village, Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan loved their daughter the most, followed by Luo Gangshun and Fat Auntie. Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong shared the fortune, although they didn’t respond, their expressions, eyes crinkling with smiles, said it all. Yun Doudou felt even more sour, glaring at them resentfully, “If you keep laughing, I’ll stitch your mouths shut. Are you trying to annoy me on purpose?”

Chuxia teased, poking her forehead, “Be grateful. You have foster parents who love you, treating you even better than their own son. What’s there to feel sour about?”

“That’s true. Once I get settled, I should go and see them. My brother and his wife are so nice too. You guys should come along, okay?”

“Sure, as long as we can get assigned to the same shift, we’ll all go together.” Chuxia checked the time, “I guess they’ll be finished soon. Have you thought about how to spend the rest of the time?”

Luo Xiaoqiong blinked, looking puzzled as she shook her head, “No, I just thought we’d hang out together after we’re done, staying together as long as possible.”

“What about you?” Chuxia turned to Yun Doudou.

“I haven’t thought of anything either. If all else fails, we could just keep roasting sweet potatoes. I think sitting here, warm and able to have a good chat, is quite nice.”

“Not one constructive suggestion…” Chuxia rolled her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling.

“What do you suggest?” they asked in unison.

“Nothing,” someone blurted out without hesitation.

Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou were both speechless, seeing how confident she was just a moment ago, they had thought she had some great idea.

Chuxia felt conflicted. She was only seeking their suggestions because she wasn’t familiar with the fun things of this era. It wasn’t exactly the weather to go out and face the wind, right?

Luo Xiaoqiong suddenly slapped her forehead, “Sweet potatoes are too filling. Erniu’s family sent her some chestnuts and peanuts. How about I ask her for some, and we roast chestnuts and peanuts instead?”

After discussing for a while, they all agreed on her idea. Before parting, sitting together comfortably chatting was also very nice, warm, and conducive to bonding, but… Chuxia looked between Luo Xiaoqiong and Yun Doudou, the words almost escaping her lips before she swallowed them back down.

In this era, the most intimate act between lovers was holding hands secretly when no one was watching. If she asked them if they regretted not being able to be alone, she feared they might be shocked by her openness.

Or perhaps, it could affect their future relationship.

However, thinking about it, she dismissed her earlier concerns. Being together was probably what they all genuinely wanted. With this realization, there seemed no need for her to unnecessarily complicate things.

Zhang Erniu was exceptionally delighted when she saw Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong approaching. Hearing Luo Xiaoqiong’s request, she didn’t hesitate and ran to her dorm to bring back a pillow-sized half-bag of peanuts and chestnuts, shyly stuffing them into Luo Xiaoqiong’s hands, “I shared some with my roommates, so only these are left.”

“We don’t need so much,” Luo Xiaoqiong quickly pulled her hands back, “Your parents sent them from so far away. If they knew we ate it all, they’d be heartbroken.”

Zhang Erniu blushed, vigorously waved her hands, “My parents aren’t stingy people. If they knew you liked them, they would be more than happy.”

Chuxia laughed, joking, “That’s right, if the little sister-in-law likes them, it means you don’t have enemies at your husband’s family.”

“Chuxia…” Zhang Erniu’s face turned red to her ears, looking at Chuxia with a mix of annoyance and charm.

“Your brother really has good taste,” Chuxia laughed as she pinched Zhang Erniu’s cheek, “This is the first time I think using ‘red apple’ to describe a girl’s cheek couldn’t be more apt.”

“Stop teasing her,” Luo Xiaoqiong tugged at Chuxia to leave. While the two were playfully arguing, she had already stuffed the chestnuts and peanuts into her pockets, leaving the rest in Zhang Erniu’s drawer. Zhang Erniu was so distracted, she hadn’t noticed at all and just let them leave the nurse’s room laughing.

When she realized they seemed to have left empty-handed, she hurriedly looked around for her little bag. Just then a few young nurses came in, seeing her looking around, they asked, “Zhang Erniu, what are you looking for?”

“No… nothing,” Zhang Erniu suddenly became nervous. If the young nurses discovered her little bag, none would be left, she hadn’t even indulged herself…

As they walked, Luo Xiaoqiong suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Chuxia looked at her, puzzled.

“I should tell Erniu where I put the bag, just in case it causes misunderstandings,” she said, and proceeded to transfer the chestnuts and peanuts to Chuxia’s pockets, “You go back first. If the captain returns and doesn’t see you, he’ll worry. You newlyweds are inseparable, unlike us, hehe…”

Chuxia: “… How could she think of this girl as so innocent? She was wrong! (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote and support us. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
