90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 5 Brother Xiao Cheng

 Xiao Wei stared at the pot and ignored her.

 After a while, open the lid of the pot, grab the scallions on the cutting board, and sprinkle them evenly down.

When the fish came out of the pot, Xiao Cheng also finished repairing the house and came down. His clothes clung to his body and were all soaked.

The cigarette was hanging limply on his ear. He picked it up casually and threw it out.

Bai Lu handed him the towel very attentively, with a smile on her face, like a well-behaved little wife caring about her husband's hard work: "The hot water has been boiled, you go take a bath first, the weather is still a little cold, don't catch a cold, and then Just stir-fry two dishes and you’re ready to eat, we’ll wait for you.”

Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wei both looked at her strangely.

Bai Lu: “…”

Um?

 Is her smile not bright enough?

Xiao Cheng took the towel and stared at Bai Lu with a half-smile. His eyes seemed to be able to see into the depths of her soul, which made her feel terrified before he went to fetch water to take a bath.

 “If you don’t want to laugh, don’t laugh.”

 This is the second time I saw her smile today. It was as if he put a knife to her neck and forced her to smile.

Bai Lu smiled and sighed.

 The misdiagnosis will be exposed sooner or later. She just wants to repair the relationship before it comes.

When the truth comes out, we can be more dignified so that everyone can get together and disperse easily without causing too much embarrassment.

　Now it seems that the big boss is a bit difficult to deal with!

 After eating and taking a shower, the three of them sat on the corridor in front of the yard, each washing his own clothes.

The mosquito net that Xiao Wei was going to wash was also taken back by Xiao Cheng and washed by himself.

 “Knock knock knock!”

 Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

 “Is brother Xiao Cheng here?”

He sounded like a young girl, Xiao Cheng brother, with a bit of urgency in his sweet voice, knocking on the door late at night, fearing that something big happened.

Bai Lu turned to look at Xiao Cheng. Xiao Cheng was wringing and drying clothes, not in a hurry.

 She turned her eyes to Xiao Wei.

I found that Xiao Wei was also looking at Xiao Cheng, as if asking him for his opinion on whether to open the door.

“Xiaowei, is brother Xiao Cheng at home?”

 A delicate and euphemistic voice came from outside the door again. Xiao Cheng had already wrung out the mosquito net and hung it on the long wooden pole of the beam.

 Go and open the door.

"What's up?"

 His tone was so cold.

Bai Lu was born into a family of officials in this world, but she completely inherited the gossip attributes engraved in the bones of Chinese people. She immediately threw down the clothes in her hands, sat firmly on the small bench, opened her eyes wide, and started watching the play.

“The light bulb in my house is broken. It’s located a bit high. There’s no ladder at home and I can’t reach it. Can you go over and help me change it?”

 The young woman outside the door was full of pleading.

The drizzle fell on her variegated floral linen skirt, her two braids, and the wooden slippers that exposed her toes, and then on her delicate little face that was red with excitement or nervousness. The pitiful expression on his face makes people unable to refuse.

 Xiao Cheng looked back at Bai Lu.

 Bai Lu didn’t know why.

After the two left, he asked Xiao Wei: "Who is she?"

 “Widow Wang.” Xiao Wei replied while hanging clothes.

 The clothing pole was not long enough, and he couldn't even hang it on the small bench.

Just as he was about to move into the house to move the big wooden chair, a slender hand grabbed the clothes rail and hung it up easily. Bai Lu didn't see Widow Wang in Xiao Cheng's memory, but it was her original memory that gave her some impression.

 Speaking of which, Xiao Cheng’s house is also a geomantic treasure, with Liu Guanggun on the left and Widow Wang on the right.

 Since I moved in, I have never been able to go out or step out the second door, and my neighbors are not familiar with each other.

I only met Widow Wang once on the way to find Li Shuixian. I passed her by and had no interaction with her.

Later I learned from Li Shuixian that she came to see Xiao Cheng. At that time, all she wanted to do was save money and buy a ticket to see Lin Jinfan, and she didn't care about it.

Xiao Wei also knew her virtue.

Out of defense for her eldest brother, she explained: "Her name was Wang Cuihua. Her husband had no parents. He grew up with his eldest brother. He worked with him for a while. After getting married, he went out to work alone. He died in a car accident. Wang Cuihua was in trouble. I will come to my elder brother for help.”

Bai Lu let out a long "Oh".

Xiao Wei frowned, feeling that she might have missed the point: "Brother has nothing to do with her."

Bai Lu said "Oh~" meaningfully again.

Xiao Wei was anxious: "If you don't believe me, go and see!"

　　Bai Lu shook his head: "I won't go."

She is a gossip, but she has followed family rules and etiquette since she was a child, knows and abides by the law, and will never do such unscrupulous and morally shameless things as spying on other people's family affairs.

Xiao Wei glared at her angrily, turned around and left: "If you don't go, I will!"

 Three minutes later.

There were figures, one large and one small, crouching half-crouched in the front yard of a certain tiled house, their eyes wide open, watching the battle in real time through the blurred dark green glass windows.

Bai Lu swears.

 She is definitely not voluntary!

It was Xiao Wei who turned around three times and invited her with his eyes. In addition, it had just rained that night and it was dark and the roads were slippery. It was not safe for him as a child to walk at night.

She made a special trip to send him here, and took a quick look before leaving. Furthermore, although Xiao Cheng and she did not receive a certificate, their relatives had a meal together to witness the marriage, and they were considered husband and wife.

 She thinks her husband is very moral.

Xiao Cheng is tall and can reach the light bulb on the wall without a ladder. He has already changed the light bulb and was about to leave when he was stopped by Wang Cuihua who was holding a thermos bottle.

"Brother Xiao Cheng, let's have a cup of tea before we go." She poured hot water into the cup and said, "This is a small chrysanthemum I brought back from the countryside. It tastes very good. It can clear and moisten the lungs, clear away heat and reduce fire." , which is of great benefit to the body.”

"Need not."

Without even looking at it, Xiao Cheng put down the broken light bulb and walked straight out.

Wang Cuihua chased after him and blocked the door.

Had Xiao Cheng not stopped in time, the two of them would have collided, and his expression could be seen to have darkened at the speed.

Wang Cuihua didn't notice, and said softly and thoughtfully: "A Biao has been dead for half a year. I am the only one left in the family. I have no relatives nearby. When something happens, I don't understand this or that."

“I can’t even change a light bulb. Every time I have difficulties, you help me. I’m really grateful to you. Thank you, brother Xiao Cheng. Actually, I..."

"I will ask Da Zhuangduo to come over and take a look in the future." Xiao Cheng said coldly, interrupting her.

Xiao Dazhuang is one of their brothers. He is honest, upright and upright. He lives not far away.

 Helping Wang Cuihua a lot.

"I didn't mean that. Brother Da Zhuang is so busy, how can I always trouble him."

Wang Cuihua was afraid that Xiao Cheng would misunderstand, so she changed her subject and hurriedly explained: "Isn't Bai Lu pregnant? The bigger her belly will be in the future, the more inconvenient it will be to do things. You are often away from home. Xiaowei is only seven years old and doesn't understand anything. Look, how about I move to your house, so that everyone can take care of each other and help take care of her."

This is a good plan.

Bai Lu and Xiao Wei both heard it outside the door.

When mentioning Bai Lu, Xiao Cheng suddenly thought of the girl who was elegant when eating fish, had a fake smile on her face when she saw him, and gave him fish heads at the dinner table.
