But this little guy Dongdong really loves to see her jokes.
Dongdong was sitting on the bed, looking like she couldn't open her eyes. When she saw Lu Qingqing running in with a red face, she suddenly opened her eyes like grapes.
"Mom, your face is so red. Is dad here?"
The little guy's voice, which was not concealed, reached Xie Jiaci's ears outside.
The man responded outside the door in a good mood, "Dad is here, Dongdong, get up quickly."
Dongdong jumped up unsteadily with a "yeah" sound, turned over, opened the door and ran into Xie Jiaci's arms.
"Brother Jiaci, why are you here?"
Lu Xiao is going to work with Zhou Hongrong today.
She deliberately dressed up to make people think she was a city girl.
Now he was standing in front of Xie Jiaci, with pretended shame and unconcealable pride on his face.
Xie Jiaci only glanced up and focused on Dongdong.
He didn't even say anything, just a faint "hmm".
Lu Xiao was rejected by Xie Jiaci, but she did not feel discouraged.
She even stood closer to Xie Jiaci so that Xie Jiaci could not avoid her eyes.
Xie Jiaci frowned, showing a bit of impatience.
"I'm here to see your sister-in-law. If you have nothing to do, I can go and help you."
"......ah?"
Lu Xiao's hands tightly grasped the seam of his trousers, and he tried hard to maintain a smile on his face to make himself look as decent as possible.
"Then I won't disturb you. Brother Jiaci, just wait here. I guess Lu... my sister-in-law has such a temper that she hasn't even woken up yet."
Xie Jiaci didn't even raise his eyelids, "If she wants to sleep, she can sleep a little longer. I'm not in a hurry."
Dongdong hated Lu Xiao, so she nestled in Xie Jiaci's arms and yelled fiercely:
"Bad woman!"
The smile on Lu Xiao's face could hardly be maintained, and he laughed awkwardly, "Dongdong, what are you talking about? I am your sister, am I not treating you well?"
Dongdong shook his head fiercely, "Bad guy!"
Xie Jiaci narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Xiao.
Has this Lu Xiao done so many outrageous things to make even a kid like Dongdong think she is a bad guy?
Lu Xiao was afraid that if she stayed too long, Dongdong, a little brat, would point at her nose and tell her everything she had done in the past.
He didn't bother to talk to Xie Jiaci anymore and left in a hurry.
As soon as Lu Xiao left, Lu Qingqing packed up and came out.
What she wore today was a light blue long dress that she found from the space. It was decent and gentle, and it didn't have too many complicated embellishments, so she wouldn't feel out of place with this era.
As soon as Lu Qingqing came out, Xie Jiaci's eyes lit up.
He was not stingy with his compliments either, "I dressed very nicely today."
Lu Qingqing obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore, "Thank you."
Xie Jiaci didn't buy a bicycle here, so the three of them had to ride Lu Qingqing's lady's bicycle.
Xie Jiaci was riding in front, and Lu Qingqing was sitting in the back seat holding Dongdong in his arms.
Along the way, Lu Qingqing couldn't help laughing when he saw Xie Jiaci in front of him unable to stretch his legs.
It wasn't until the person involved heard her suppressed laughter and glanced back at her sadly, that she tried to control it.
"This bicycle is originally for women. It is smaller than a normal bicycle. Master Wang helped me make some changes before, and it is even...smaller."
Lu Qingqing still couldn't help but want to laugh.
Xie Jiaci's legs are too long, and he looks like an adult playing with a stroller.
Xie Jiaci simply let her laugh as if he was resigned to his fate.
There is only a two-hour bus service from the county seat to the city.
They arrived by chance, they had just deposited their bicycles, and after waiting for about ten minutes, it happened to be the time for the bus to leave.
Xie Jiaci couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw the crowd of people in front of the car.
At this time, buses in such a small place will not strictly check whether the number of people on board is over the limit. The bus terminal will sell an extra ticket for every person who comes.
Before opening the door, Xie Jiaci handed Dongdong to Lu Qingqing for a hug.
"You keep an eye on the kid, I'll grab the spot later."
Lu Qingqing glanced at Xie Jiaci in surprise.
She thought that people like Xie Jiaci would not bother to squeeze in with them, and she was even ready to squeeze in by herself.
Of course, this is indeed the case.
Xie Jiaci had no intention of forcing her way into this group of people.
Everyone was rushing to go to the city, and it wasn't easy. If he had to squeeze in with others, it wouldn't be worth it.
Therefore, as soon as the car door opened, Xie Jiaci threw several pieces of money on the ground, including small amounts of fifty cents, two cents, and very worthless tickets.
While throwing it away, he shouted, "Whose money dropped it? How come this money is all over the place?"
People who were rushing to grab a seat stopped and looked back after hearing this sentence, and some even bent down to pick up the money.
In such a short time, Xie Jiaci had successfully got into the car and occupied two seats side by side.
When Lu Qingqing got in the car, he saw Xie Jiaci looking at him with pride.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, like a child waiting for praise.
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, "Teacher Xie is so generous."
Xie Jiaci smiled, "It's good that Mr. Lu doesn't dislike it."
Of course Lu Qingqing would not dislike it.
Some people are willing to do everything possible to find a way just to let her sit comfortably, but it's too late for her to be happy.
Besides, he wasn't telling lies. Those who didn't come up to pick up the money, even if they didn't have a seat, at least got a little windfall.
It was late spring and early summer, and all kinds of smells were mixed together in the carriage.
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but frown frequently.
Xie Jiaci noticed Lu Qingqing's discomfort and took out a bottle of cooling oil from his bag.
After Xie Jiaci opened it, he smeared it on his hand, then put his hand in front of Lu Qingqing's face and held it up.
He kept a certain distance from her to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable, and at the same time ensured that Lu Qingqing could smell it.
The refreshing and cool smell instantly penetrated Lu Qingqing's nose, making her mind instantly clearer.
Lu Qingqing looked at Xie Jiaci gratefully.
"Thanks."
If she hadn't been able to find this simple-packaged cooling oil in her space, she would have wanted to order something like this to relieve her discomfort.
It's just that it's not a big deal for Xie Jiaci to always hold it up like this.
Lu Qingqing felt the envious looks from the people next to her, and she felt awkward from her face to her heart.
"You can lend me the cooling oil for a while. I can do it myself."
Xie Jiaci liked to see the shy look of Lu Qingqing's chirping little rabbit, and nodded with a triumphant smile.
Dongdong fell asleep leaning on him, Xie Jiaci carefully handed the things over, for fear of waking Dongdong.
Lu Qingqing just took the cooling oil.
"careful!"
The next moment, Xie Jiaci's entire arm was blocked in front of her.
Lu Qingqing was startled, closed her eyes subconsciously, and hugged Xie Jiaci's arm.
