Chapter 13: Brother Carrying Sister
The sons of the Qiao family were taught by Mother Qiao to treat girls well since they were young, so even if they were ordered around, Qiao Nan was not displeased at all.
The only thing that annoyed him was that his mother Qiao said that he was slacking off at work.
Where did he mess up?
He is so meticulous in his work!
Qiao Nan complained a few words to Qiao Xi, who made Qiao Xi laugh.
Chen Chunyan joked at the side: "You can't blame aunt for thinking that you can't do your job well. It's true that she's so good at her job!"
Counting Qiaojia Village and Wajia Village, there are few people who can work better than Qiao's mother.
Back when work points were counted, Mother Qiao could do a full ten centimeters a day, cutting wheat and weeding, which was better than many men.
Qiao Nan couldn't help but agree: "That's true."
Thinking about it this way, there is nothing to be angry about.
The three of them were blocked by a ditch.
It is said to be a ditch, but it is also a path. Many roads in the village are like this. When walking on a daily basis, water is directly diverted when irrigation is needed.
Chen Chunyan said: "This is too unfortunate. There was no water when we came here."
When Qiao Nan saw it, he felt energetic and felt that he finally had a place to use.
He quickly walked up to Qiao Xi and squatted down: "Second sister, come up, I will carry you over."
Qiao Xi looked at the small ditch that could usually be crossed by jumping, and then looked at his swollen feet, and had no choice but to compromise.
She handed the crutch to Chen Chunyan and climbed on Qiao Nan's back.
Holding Qiao Nan's strong shoulders with both hands, Qiao Xi suddenly discovered that Qiao Nan was not as thin as he looked.
Although he has a delicate face, he is very powerful.
Qiao Nan crossed the small ditch and did not put Qiao Xi down in a hurry, but carried Qiao Xi for a while.
He didn't feel tired, but said happily: "When I go back later, I can report to my mother."
Otherwise, if you do nothing, you will be scolded again.
Qiao Xi and Chen Chunyan laughed together.
Chen Chunyan was also older than Qiao Nan. She looked at Qiao Nan as if she were a younger brother. She couldn't help teasing Qiao Xi: "Why do I think your Qiao Nan will be afraid of his wife in the future?"
Qiao Xi instantly thought of Qiao Nan, who was manipulated by Yu Qingqing in her previous life, and the smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
"Xixi!"
A familiar voice sounded.
Qiao Xi looked around and saw Yu Qingqing running over.
Yu Qingqing's eyes first fell on Qiao Nan, then turned to Chen Chunyan and Qiao Xi: "Why are you here?"
Chen Chunyan didn't know how to answer this question, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Qiao Xi looked calm: "I just went to the square, and they took me back."
Yu Qingqing said: "Is that so? I said Chunyan left with me, why did you two go together again?"
Don't say anything behind her back.
Chen Chunyan was not good at lying, so she pretended that nothing was wrong and said to Qiao Nan: "Let Qiao Xi down first."
Qiao Nan refused: "It's okay, we can just walk a few more steps and get home."
He was about to leave, but Yu Qingqing quickly stood in front of him.
Qiao Nan frowned and looked over, and Yu Qingqing smiled and said: "Qiao Nan, Qiao Xi is uncomfortable with you carrying her like this."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Nan stopped insisting.
He raised his hands and turned his head to ask Qiao Xi's opinion: "Second sister, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
It was indeed uncomfortable to be carried on his back, but Qiao Xi saw the taste on Yu Qingqing's face and sneered in his heart.
She hasn't married Qiao Nan yet, and now she wants to take care of Qiao Nan, her biological sister?
How come you treat her as an enemy?
With such a serious mind, it's no wonder that he can do those harmful things.
Qiao Xi curled her lips in disdain and replied to Qiao Nan: "It's nothing uncomfortable. You can leave quickly. I want to go back and lie down."
Qiao Nan sighed happily after receiving the order.
Then, he said to Qingqing lukewarmly: "Give me a moment, I'll go first."
Yu Qingqing: "..."
Qiao Nan strode away with Qiao Xi on her back. Chen Chunyan felt the awkward atmosphere and said to Qing Qing, "I'll give Qiao Xi the crutches."
Then, he also followed.
Yu Qingqing stood alone, biting her lips in anger.
She had felt right in the morning, there was indeed something wrong with Josie's attitude towards her, it was different from before.
But why? She hasn't done anything recently?
She looked around and saw Qiao Nan carrying Qiao Xi on his back, turning a corner and disappearing, and she felt even more angry.
Even though he is so old, he is not ashamed to let his younger brother carry him.
Even if you are not ashamed, you should still avoid suspicion!
It's not baby time anymore, they are all boys and girls, carrying them back and forth, she really can't stand it.
In her family, the younger brother has never carried his older sister on his back!
…
After entering the yard, Qiao Nan carefully put Qiao Xi down.
Seeing Qiao Xi and Chen Chunyan standing under the eaves, he quickly went into the house and took out two small benches.
Chen Chunyan took over the bench and praised: "Oh, I wish I had such a good brother!"
The corners of Qiao Xi's lips curled up into a knowing smile.
There are many families in the village that favor boys over girls, so many boys are taught to be like the elders. They do nothing except work in the fields and throw away their hands when they get home.
Qiao Xi's family is different. Her brothers and sisters have been taught by Qiao's mother since childhood to take care of women and be considerate and tolerant, so this idea has been engraved in their bones.
Just like Qiao Nan, he didn't react at all when he heard Chen Chunyan's words.
He said to Qiao Xi: "Second sister, I will go back to the square first."
Just as Qiao Xi was about to nod, the corner of his eye caught sight of the person peeking out from the door, and the conversation changed: "Why don't you go back now? Before mom comes, bring the leeks from the kitchen and we can choose them together."
Qiao Nan nodded: "Okay."
Outside the gate, Yu Qingqing followed her unwillingly. When she saw that Qiao Nan did not go back, but was being ordered by Qiao Xi to select leeks one by one, she stamped her feet angrily.
She originally planned to take advantage of Qiao Nan's trip to the square to walk with her and spend some time alone with Qiao Nan.
Qiao Xi glanced towards the door from time to time, and she was surprised to see the person at the door lingering.
He's really persistent.
After selecting the leeks, Qiao Xi asked Qiao Nan to pick up the soaked bean sprouts. The person outside seemed to be unable to bear it. He walked in and shouted affectionately: "Xixi, are you going to cook?"
, when did you choose so many leeks?"
Josie: “…”
hehe.
Very good at pretending.
If that's the case, then she should cooperate well.
Qiao Xi smiled and asked Yu Qingqing: "Are you okay now? Don't you need to go home to cook?"
Yu Qingqing secretly looked at Qiao Nan and said casually: "It's okay. My sister-in-law is cooking today and I have a lot of free time."
Qiao Xi yelled and said to Qiao Nan, "Give Qingqing the bean sprouts in your hand."
Qiao Nan did as he was told. Yu Qingqing watched Qiao Nan stand up and give her a stool. She was feeling happy when she suddenly heard Qiao Xi say: "It's enough for the three of us here. You can go back to the square."
Qiao Nan turned around and strode away.
Yu Qingqing: "..."
She really... wouldn't have come in if she had known it!
I haven’t had time to say a few words to Qiao Nan yet!
Qiao Xi pretended not to notice Yu Qingqing's absence and asked deliberately: "Qingqing, what good things are there at the door? What are you staring at?"
Chapter completed!
