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

Chapter 86 Flowers on the Head

This fresh and refined answer made Xiao Cheng stunned for 0.5 seconds, and then he chuckled.

 Turn around and go back to your room to change clothes.

Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were stunned for a full second before they realized that the crisis was over?

 The crisis is over.

Xiao Wei sat back in front of the stove to light the fire and asked casually: "Why do you have flowers growing on your head?"

The corners of Bai Lu's mouth twitched slightly: "Where are the flowers? They were picked from the vegetable garden, and the wind blew the chestnut trees off. When I came back, I knocked off the little ones on my shoulders. I didn't expect that one also fell off my head. It was completely no feelings."

 “Then why didn’t it fall off my head?”

 “Your head is small, and it will fall off if you fall on it.”

 “Then why didn’t it fall on the big brother’s head?”

“Your brother doesn’t go to the backyard often, and the wind doesn’t blow when he does occasionally, so of course the flowers won’t fall on his head.”

 “The eldest brother often goes to the backyard.”

 “Why don’t I know, what is he doing in the backyard?”

“Going to see Qiang...” Xiao Wei saw the tall figure passing by outside the window, his tongue was twisted into a knot, and he made an emergency turn: “Going to see the vegetable garden.”

Bai Lu didn't think much about it. She smiled while cooking: "Are you going to see what new vegetables are unearthed in the vegetable garden?"

"You two are the same. Just take a look. If you ask me what you like to eat, say yes. By the way, you don't have any particular favorite vegetables? For example, cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, lettuce, and pea tips?"

Xiao Wei didn’t hear the unpalatable dish and answered as usual: “Anything is fine.”

Bai Lu decisively dropped the bomb: "What about the mustard?"

 Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously.

"Don't you like it? Mustard greens are delicious and have many benefits. They can clear away heat and detoxify the intestines and stomach, sharpen the lungs, reduce phlegm and reduce internal heat. It can also refresh the mind. Add some when making lean meat porridge. It's fragrant, crispy and delicious. Great. How about we make lean mustard porridge for breakfast tomorrow?"

 classmate Xiaowei shook his head like a rattle.

Bai Lu took it as if he agreed: "Then it's settled~ Your brother must also like to eat mustard greens."

"he does not like."

Xiao Wei shook his head with an extremely serious expression: "I cooked it once last year, and my eldest brother didn't come home for five days."

Bai Lu smiled: "Has he finished eating?"

Xiao Wei shook his head: "I didn't eat a bite."

"That will just give him a taste of new food. He will definitely like it." Bai Lu smiled softly.

But Xiao Wei's hair stood up all over his body. He wanted to say that his elder brother wouldn't like it, but he wanted to shake his head and refuse.

 Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

 The sun has gone down.

 In this era when the sun rises and the sun sets, every household is either cooking or eating.

 Who will knock on the door?

Wang Cuihua's business of selling sugar-roasted chestnuts picked up, and she had a fixed stall in Dashi Town three days ago. Now, like Wen Xiuyun and his wife, they settle accounts every three days.

 We just got married yesterday, so it shouldn’t be her.

 Bai Lu had already cooked the vegetables, took off her apron and went out.

Unexpectedly, the man who was soaking clothes in water in the front yard had already opened the door before her.

 As soon as the door opens.

 A group of black shadows rushed in.

As soon as Bai Lu walked over, before she could see clearly, Xiao Cheng grabbed her waist and took a big step back.

 A large basket rolled to the ground.

The head of the basket hit the spot where she was standing just now. A man with disheveled hair was lying in the middle of the basket.

He opened his mouth and cried loudly: "Bai Lu... I don't sell sugar-roasted chestnuts anymore. Someone smashed my stall and beat me. They said that if I dare to go to Dashi Town to sell sugar-roasted chestnuts in the future, they would confiscate all the chestnuts and take away all my chestnuts." Broken leg…”

“It’s too difficult to sell sugar and roast chestnuts. I make a lot of money, but how can I cover the medical expenses…”

The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling was mixed with a less obvious cry, and the figure lying on the basket also trembled. After saying this, he pushed the messy hair away from his face with trembling hands, revealing a frowning face.

 Then… he was stunned on the spot, his face stiffened.

“Xiao, is Brother Xiao Cheng coming back so early today?” Wang Cuihua quickly got up, dusted herself off, and **** her messy hair with a rubber band.

Bai Lu glanced at her dirty clothes and asked, "Someone hit you?"

Wang Cuihua did not dare to lie in front of Xiao Cheng: "I didn't fight, I just opened the stall."

 The clothes were made to look like she accidentally fell down while outside. She wanted Bai Lu to pay some of the medical expenses.

I didn’t expect Brother Xiao Cheng to come back so early today. He didn’t get off work until dark in the past few days.

 “Who opened the stall?” Xiao Cheng’s voice was as cold as a cold pond, piercing through all the little thoughts.

Wang Cuihua was frightened, and immediately told everything: "I don't know them, and I have never seen them before. Those five men all had flower tattoos on their left arms. As soon as they came up, they overturned my stall and said that Dashi Town was their territory and they wanted to be in Dashi Town." To sell roasted chestnuts with sugar, you have to pay three thousand yuan first.”

Hearing the five men with left armbands, Xiao Cheng had a rough idea of ​​who they were. He looked slightly sideways and looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu has a question mark on her face, what are you looking at her for?

 She is not a man with flowery arms.

In an instant, he understood the message conveyed by those deep eyes, and turned to ask Wang Cuihua: "If you can deal with those people, will you still go to Dashi Town to sell sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

"go!"

Wang Cuihua answered without hesitation: "I will continue to go to Dashi Town to sell sugar-roasted chestnuts."

If you can earn so much money every day, no fool would stay away from it.

For such a trivial matter as being kicked off a stall to collect protection money, as long as Xiao Cheng went to that station, he would have to run away with his tail between his legs.

She was crying as soon as she walked in. She just wanted Bailu to increase her share and told Xiao Cheng about it.

 Now that the plan has been ruined, we must keep our jobs.

 “I’ll ask Zhang San and Li Si to take a look tomorrow.”

Xiao Cheng spoke calmly and issued an order to expel the guests.

Wang Cuihua smelled the aroma of food filling the yard, and her stomach growled with hunger. She wanted to stay and finish eating before leaving.

 But Xiao Cheng had already walked back with Bai Lu in his arms.

Xiao Wei took the basket from Wang Cuihua's hand, put it aside, and said goodbye: "Goodbye, Sister Biao."

Wang Cuihua stamped her feet vigorously, but no one answered her, so she could only turn around and leave.

 The courtyard door is closed again.

At the dinner table, Bai Lu endured it, but still couldn't help asking: "Is there really someone named Zhang San and Li Si?"

Xiao Cheng looked at her motionless chopsticks and her rice bowl, which she hadn't eaten more than three mouthfuls of, and picked up a piece of meat.

"eat first."

Bai Lu wiped out the meat in a few seconds, with quick yet graceful movements: "Is there really someone named Zhang San and Li Si?"

Xiao Cheng gave her two more pieces of meat, the fat and thin twice-cooked pork, and three pieces of braised pork ribs.

Xiao Wei also gave her two pieces of meat, fat and thin twice-cooked pork, and three braised pork ribs.

Bai Lu: “…”

 Until more than half of the rice in the bowl has been consumed, and all the piles of twice-cooked pork and braised pork ribs have been consumed.

 The answer was released by the man: "Yes."

 “Two brothers, from Dashi Town.”

Bai Lu looked surprised and curious: "Why are the two brothers named one Zhang and the other Li?"

Xiao Cheng’s expression was as usual: “Half mother and half father.”

Bai Lu understands.

 Zhang San’s mother married Zhang’s father and gave birth to Zhang San, and then married Li’s father and gave birth to Li Si.

It’s such a high-end and classy name!
