Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 404 Cheeky

Cheng Xinxin sang another song, her voice was equally sweet and lovely.

Bai Qian nodded and said, "Well, it's really much better this way. Children should sing children's songs, right?"

She took out her mobile phone and started to record the picture of Cheng Xinxin's back.

In the video, the golden sun slanted on the mountain in the afternoon, and Cheng Xinxin walked against the light. The sun seemed to put a golden rim on her figure, making her look like a holy angel.

Her voice is crisp and sweet, maybe some are out of tune, maybe some words are inaccurate, but it is the most beautiful child's voice.

After Cheng Xinxin finished singing, she turned around on her short legs, smiled sweetly, and asked, "Mom, do I sing well?"

This sweet looking back and smiling was perfectly recorded in the video.

Bai Qian also gave her a gentle smile and said, "Baby sings very well, and mom likes to listen to it very much."

Cheng Xinxin got excited and said, "Then I'll sing another song."

"Okay. Which song should I sing again?"

"Sing again..."The Little Mushroom Picker" again, okay?"

"Okay, okay, mom likes to hear it very much."

Cheng Xinxin's childish voice sang again, and her cheerful voice echoed in the mountains.

The family of three sang a song, walked back slowly, took a shower and changed clothes, and went to Cheng Shi's house.

The snails and clam shells they just brought back are fed with water first, and some raw oil is poured into them to let them spit out the sand, and they can be cooked in two days.

It was the first time for Cheng Shi's family to entertain Bai Qian.When Cheng He came to eat in the past, he was very casual.Even Cheng Xinxin didn't feel restrained at all.

In the past, sometimes when Cheng He went out and couldn't come back, he always spent the night at Cheng Shi's house, and Cheng Shi's mother took care of her.

But now, the "new daughter-in-law" entered the house for the first time, so it couldn't be too casual, Cheng Shi's family almost gave the highest courtesy.

The dishes are basically prepared as grand as they are, and as beautiful as they are, and they will not be spared at all.

Bai Qian was shocked, she had never seen this scene before.

The Bai family also has all kinds of family banquets, ranging from small ones to the entire Bai family, with a dozen or so tables, which can be called lively.The seats are extravagant, and the price of any table is unimaginable for ordinary people.

But for her, there is no human touch there, some are just calculating and using each other, cheating, showing off, she doesn't have the slightest affection.

A person's life is only a few decades, or—not long ago, her life was already counting down, why not let herself live a little more comfortably?
Bai Qian really felt very good about Cheng Shi's family's enthusiasm, and liked it very much.

Cheng Xinxin held her father's hand, and as soon as she stepped into the yard, she saw Cheng Shi's family was cutting watermelons.She ran forward quickly, took a piece from the table, ran back again, and handed it to her father like a treasure, letting him eat first.

Cheng Shi's father was cutting melons. Seeing her cute appearance, he couldn't help saying anxiously: "Run slowly, slow down, and be careful of falling."

Cheng He refused to pick up the melon she brought over, and said, "Xinxin, when you took the watermelon, did you thank grandpa?"

"No."

"Then don't go back and talk about it."

Cheng Xinxin walked back and said "Thank you, Grandpa", which made Cheng Shi's father very nervous again: "Run slowly, slow down, oh, what's there to thank for a melon! No thanks, no thanks."

So Cheng Xinxin ran back to pass melons to her father.

Cheng He said, "Give it to mom first."

Cheng Xinxin handed the melon to Bai Qian again, said "Mom, eat", then turned around and took another piece of watermelon.

Bai Qian took a bite of the watermelon and praised: "It's so sweet, this melon is so fresh and delicious."

That's right, the watermelon that was just picked today has been cooled in the well water until now, it is cold and sweet, can it not be delicious?

Cheng He looked at her and said with a smile: "Don't be jealous, after a while, she will get along with you naturally, and she will think of you first if she has something to eat."

Bai Qianqiang said: "I'm not jealous of you. You brought up the child, so it's natural to be close to you. Besides, others say that a daughter is the closest to her father."

She would not admit that when she saw the child come back with a watermelon, the first one was for his father, she was really jealous.

Cheng He smiled at her, and said: "If you stop there, even if you don't do anything, I can know what you are thinking. Otherwise, let's have another one, and you will take it with you. I will definitely get close to you first."

Speaking of the latter, naturally the more he spoke, the lower his voice was, and Cheng He almost spoke close to Bai Qian's ear.

Cheng Xinxin brought another piece of watermelon over and said, "Dad, eat it."

Cheng He squatted down and said, "Eat Xinxin first. Dad will watch you eat, okay?"

Taking advantage of the time when he opened his mouth to speak, Cheng Xinxin stuffed the watermelon into his mouth and said, "Dad, eat first."

A mouthful of sweet watermelon juice flowed into Cheng He's heart.

On the other side, when Bai Qian heard Cheng He's words, she almost spit out the watermelon in her mouth, and her ears felt weak for a while.

Why did this guy suddenly say something like that!
Cheng Shi's mother was busy in the kitchen, came out to get something by chance, saw Cheng He's family, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Come on, don't do it outside, go indoors to enjoy the cool, it's hot outside."

Cheng Xinxin started eating the watermelon by herself, and said inarticulately, "Grandma, we're not hot, we're eating watermelon."

Cheng Shi's mother was so cute that her heart melted, and she said happily, "Xinxin likes to eat watermelon? Then eat more, grandma has some at home, come and eat every day, okay?"

While eating, Cheng Xinxin replied solemnly, "Grandma, I can't eat too many snacks, or I'll eat less at meals. That's not acceptable."

Look at this small mouth, so eloquent, it made both Cheng He and Bai Qian laugh.

This guy, he understands everything he told her, and she knows everything about not allowing this and that, but the execution is completely different.

While eating, she pretended to eat less, looking very sensible.

Cheng He looked smug, and went to get a piece of watermelon himself, and whispered to Bai Qian when he came back, "This kid is really smart and easygoing, he knows what to say to whomever he sees."

Bai Qian gave him a white look with a smile, and said, "Look at my expression?"

"Well, the expression of admiration. This is outside, you are giving me face." Cheng He said while eating watermelon without changing his expression.

Bai Qian felt that her skin was too thin, she was no match for him at all, and she could even call her eyes adoration!Nobody left.

She couldn't help but said: "You are so glib, you must be very good at flirting with girls, right?"

Cheng He thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, I really don't seem to have flirted."

In the eyes of others, he should be a very old-fashioned type, right?Cheng He thought.

The two were joking with each other in a low voice while eating melons. Cheng Shima came out again and urged them to sit in the house, and they worked hard standing in the yard.

As she talked, she began to blame Cheng Shi's father again for not knowing how to arrange guests and let others stand in the yard.

Cheng He finished eating a piece of melon, threw the watermelon rind into the pigsty, and said, "Come on, let's go in and sit down, or I'll be here later to invite you."

He washed his hands by the well, wiped his mouth, and took his wife and children into the house to sit.

After sitting for a long time, the dishes began to be served.Steamed, boiled, and fried, the dishes are brought into the house one by one, and the aroma is overflowing.

Bai Qian said embarrassedly: "So much? It's too rich, right? How can we eat so much, auntie, don't be busy, don't make the rest, sit down and eat with us."

Cheng Shima said with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry, there are two more dishes, just fry them, please sit down first, I will come in a while."

Cheng Shi's father poured some wine for Cheng He and said, "It's all home-cooked food. Don't be too polite. Is the food to your liking? Eat more of what you like."

If they want to put it aside before, they would just say "why don't you move your chopsticks? Eat", they won't be as polite as they are today.

The main reason was that Bai Qian had dinner at their house for the first time.

That politeness made Bai Qian really feel a little overwhelmed.

Cheng Shi was also sitting at the table, listening to them being polite to each other, teasing Cheng Xinxin, and bringing her some food from time to time.
