Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 28 No matter how thick-skinned, I can't bear it
After eating, the sky was already dark and dim. If it were changed to winter at this time, it would have been pitch black.

A Tao looked sleepily at his elder brother who was sitting in the yard chatting with Xu Shouliang and Xu Huai, "Brother, are we still going home?"

She really wanted to lie down in bed and sleep. Elder sister Xu's family was very nice, but this was not her own home after all, and she didn't feel comfortable at home.

The little girl rubbed her eyes and stood at the door of the kitchen, a little pitiful.

Lu Cheng only worked for half a day, and he didn't feel tired because of Ningxiang, but he knew that the Xu family and his son must be tired. If possible, he would also like to go back right away, so that the Xu family can have a good rest.

"Go and see if Anan is asleep." Lu Cheng told his younger sister, the little girl left, he stood up from the bench, and advised Xu's father and son: "Uncle, you go to sleep, don't accompany me, we will leave soon." Just go."

As soon as the words were finished, Anan screamed like playing tricks from the west room.

Lu Cheng was extremely embarrassed, and said ashamedly: "I'll go and have a look, it's all our fault for spoiling Anan."

As he spoke, he entered the kitchen, and quickly walked into the west room, and saw Li's family Xu Qiuer, Amu, sitting at the west end of the kang, with a strange expression on his face. Behind Ningxiang, a pair of big black grape-like eyes stared angrily at her aunt on the ground.

A Tao is only seven years old, and she is also a child who needs to be coaxed. When her nephew chased her away in front of so many people, the little girls couldn't help but walk to the elder brother's side with a blushing face and quietly wiped their tears, whispering: "Brother, I Tell Anan to go home and he won't leave, he's still attacking me..."

Lu Cheng patted his sister's head, and looked at Anan behind Ningxiang.

His younger siblings were all brought up by him. Lu Cheng has his own way of disciplining children, but Anan is different. Anan is a child entrusted to him by his benefactor before his death. For a real orphan, most of the time Lu Chengcheng is willing to spoil him.And before meeting Ningxiang, Anan was indeed sensible and never really made him angry.

But it's time for the Xu family to go to bed, what's the point of Anan clinging to Ningxiang?
Not to mention that he and Ningxiang have nothing to do with each other, even if they like each other, there is no reason to leave Anan to her a yellow flower girl to take care of. Taking a nap during the day is completely different from staying overnight.

Angry at his son's ignorance, and feeling ashamed of the Xu family, including Ning Xiang, Lu Cheng's face was not very good-looking, and he stretched out his hand to Anan suppressing his displeasure: "Anan is obedient, and I went home with my father, and went to find your second and third uncles." .”

Anan stared at his father, saw that his father was unhappy, but still shook his head, not daring to shout at his father like he would at his aunt, the little guy slowly sat next to Ningxiang, with his head pressed against Ningxiang's waist.Lu Cheng couldn't see it on the ground, but Li Shi and the others over there could see the little guy's eyes blinking restlessly.

Ning Xiang also saw it, and patted Anan's small shoulder, Ning Xiang raised her head, and whispered to Lu Cheng, "Brother Lu, why don't you stay a little longer, wait...you go before you leave?" He omitted the words "wait for Anan to fall asleep before taking him away", and then smiled at A Tao, "A Tao goes to the kang first, and sister Qiu'er will teach you how to braid your hair."

Xu Qiuer waved at A Tao cooperatively.

"A Tao, go." Lu Cheng bowed his head to encourage his sister, then glanced at Ning Xiang's son who was only showing a little corner of his clothes, and nodded towards Ning Xiang.

Lu Cheng went out again, and Mrs. Li looked at Anan, who was still in good spirits, and asked Xu Qiuer to take A Tao to play in the east room, and then she helped Amu spread the quilt, and let the nephew go to bed first.Only when the room is quiet can Anan get sleepy easily, otherwise the little guy won't want to sleep even if the room is full of people.

Chao Ningxiang made a patting motion, and Li Shi also left the house.

Ningxiang sighed, hugged the pouting Anan to her lap, shook her head gently, and kissed the little guy, "Anan is sleeping, aunt will put you to sleep."

Aggrieved, Anan turned towards her chest.

Ning Xiang immediately raised her eyes to look at her younger brother who was next to her under the quilt.

Amu lay on her side, his upper and lower eyelids were already fighting, and he didn't see that his sister was taken advantage of by Anan.

No one knew, Ningxiang grabbed Anan's little bad hand calmly, looked at him softly, and just patted and didn't speak.

She didn't stop her, Anan's interest gradually faded, he yawned, leaned into Ningxiang's arms, and finally fell asleep.

Ning Xiang couldn't help laughing, holding the little guy firmly.

Lu Cheng entered the room again to see if Anan was asleep, and saw Ningxiang looking at Anan with a gentle smile.

He really wanted to keep watching like this, but he knew it was impossible, so he quietly lowered the curtain, went out and set up the donkey cart, and asked A Tao to wait in the cart before going to the Westinghouse to pick up his son.The four members of Xu Shouliang's family knew that Anan was asleep, so they didn't follow, and stayed by the donkey cart waiting to see off the guests.

Ningxiang heard them clean up, so she knew as soon as Lu Cheng came in this time.

The room was quiet, the oil lamp was dim, the two children were asleep, and Ning Xiang was a little nervous when she saw Shang Lu Cheng's eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, give it to me." Lu Cheng stood in front of the edge of the Kang, quietly glanced at her little feet in socks while speaking.

Anan didn't sleep deeply enough, which is why Ningxiang didn't go out to deliver it.Lu Cheng hurried away, she had no choice but to move carefully to the edge of the kang, just passed Anan a little, suddenly felt the skirt was pulled, Ning Xiang lowered her head, shocked to find that Anan's left hand grabbed her skirt again at some point.

Lu Cheng also noticed his son's little bad hand, and when Ning Xiang looked up, he looked away in time.

Seeing that he was smiling at his sleeping brother, Ningxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and went to grab Anan's warm chubby hand again.When they separated, Ning Xiang watched Anan nervously, seeing the little guy pouted and frowning, she was suddenly very reluctant.

"Brother Lu, Anan is still young, if you have something to reason with him, he will listen."

Don't give him face at every turn.

Ning Xiang lowered her eyes, and silently added to the hem of the man's clothes.

In the dim light, because the beating heart in the man's chest was a little more ambiguous, Lu Cheng looked condescendingly at her kneeling in front of the edge of the kang, looked at her delicate and white face, his breathing became heavy, and his courage grew. .

"Xiang'er cares about Anan so much, no wonder he likes you."

Without picking up his son, he stared at her fine eyelashes and mustered up the courage to call out her nickname.

Ningxiang's eyelashes trembled.

He was eight years older than her, and a few years older than his cousin Xu Huai. With their current familiarity, it was normal to call her by her nickname.It is said in the book that a woman’s boudoir name cannot be easily passed on to outsiders, but it is actually a woman from a wealthy family. Parents in the village call their children to eat and order their children to do work, and the daughter’s nickname is spoken. Every family is like this. Is the name still called the big girl and the second girl?
That would be weird.

But when Lu Cheng called her a girl at first, and now he suddenly changed his words, Ning Xiang felt awkward, even more awkward than Lu Yan calling her sister.

As if she didn't hear the difference, Ningxiang smiled, raised her arm, and passed Anan over again.

But according to her trembling eyelashes, Lu Cheng guessed that her heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

She noticed the change of address, and she didn't seem to be used to it. Why did she pretend that the two names were the same to her?
Lu Cheng is a man with a plan. Since he decided to win her heart before June, with only two meetings left at the end of the month, he decided to let her understand his intentions this time.

"Why don't you be curious and I call you Xiang'er instead?" Lu Cheng still didn't pick up Anan, took a step back, bent down to pick up one of his son's tiger-toed shoes, and asked softly while putting it on for his son, with a bit of tinge in his deep voice banter.As early as when he discovered that she was secretly nervous, Lu Cheng felt a little confident in his heart, and his heart still beat faster for her, but he was no longer afraid to speak.

To put it nicely is to be bold, but to put it badly is to have a thick skin and go all out.

The man has a thick skin, but Ningxiang has a very thin face. Hearing him call her by her nickname became more and more intimate, which was different from the intimacy of her uncle and aunt. She dared not look at him more and more, her upper body quietly He stepped back, away from his lowered head, then tilted his head to look at his sleeping brother, and guessed casually: "I'm afraid Qiu'er will not be happy to hear it."

She couldn't tell why, she really didn't want to know the reason, and she didn't even want to ask.

"Guess again." Lu Cheng wanted her to know, raised his head without warning, looked at her and said.

Although Ning Xiang tilted her head, she could still see Lu Cheng's movements out of the corner of her eye. That handsome face didn't have to be facing him head on, just a vague silhouette made her feel a kind of pressure.

This kind of pressure, as well as his teasing tone, made Ning Xiang think of someone.

Pei Jinghan.

Pei Jinghan likes it like this, throwing out something she was curious to know, and deliberately not giving the answer.

Ningxiang doesn't understand how a man will get along with a girl when he really likes her, but she knows what molesting is, she is familiar with that faint look in her eyes, and that low tone of voice.

She doesn't like being teased by men.

If it was Pei Jinghan, she would only be afraid that he would hide from him.

Now Lu Cheng is molesting her...

Ningxiang didn't want to misunderstand a villager who had helped her many times, so she turned her face and looked directly into Lu Cheng's eyes.

Lu Cheng didn't expect the gentle and shy girl to be so bold suddenly. After a brief surprise, he bravely looked at her, hoping that she would understand his intentions.

Ning Xiang could see it, looking at those gentle and seductive peach blossom eyes, but only felt disgusted and disappointed.

For him to disobey her father, Miss Feng wanted to marry him at the expense of her reputation. How could Lu Cheng fall in love with someone so quickly?And molested Miss Feng while she was helping to take care of her only flesh and blood left in the world?
No wonder he usually smiles like a normal person, it turns out that he is really ruthless.

Looking away, Ning Xiang said politely and distantly: "Brother Lu, please call me Miss Xu, I'm not used to foreigners calling me by my nickname."

He is willing to help others, even if he is ruthless, Ningxiang is willing to deal with him like a villager, but she never wants Lu Cheng to fall in love with her, does not want to marry a ruthless man, let alone be Anan's stepmother, and does not want to complain when Anan becomes sensible in the future. She snatched away his mother's man.

Her expression was indifferent, and the originally dim and soft light seemed to be only dim.

No matter how thick-skinned Lu Cheng was, he couldn't bear the merciless rejection of the temptation he had to muster up his courage.

He moved his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Ning Xiang urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, don't make my aunt and the others wait."
