一夜情

Chapter 211 - 211 Hit the Mother Lode



Xie Heng didn’t think so much. Seeing that Zhao Chuchu was covered with dust, he asked Zhao Chuchu to take a bath first.

“It’s too late to prepare hot water. Go to dinner first. We can’t let them wait too long. They may be hungry since they just came back from work.” Zhao Chuchu didn’t care too much about the dust on her.

But Xie Heng still went ahead to prepare hot water. He put two large pieces of wood into the stove, which made it burn slowly. When they came back from dinner, the water should be hot.

“When you come back, you can take a bath first.”

Xie Heng got up and walked to Zhao Chuchu after finishing these things.

“Come on, let’s go to the Chen clan’s house.”

Seeing that Xie Heng was so thoughtful, Zhao Chuchu felt like she had hit the mother lode.

Seeing both of them always appear together, Old Mrs. Chen couldn’t help teasing them. “You two are so lovey-dovey these days. You’re practically glued to each other.”

Xie Heng smiled. He just looked at Zhao Chuchu and didn’t explain.

Old Mrs. Chen looked at them with feigned jealousy.

“Before, Da Lang was always cold and indifferent. He never smiled at anyone. Since Chuchu cured his eyes, he has become more easy-going.”

“And he’s warmer.”

Old Mrs. Chen’s two daughters-in-law, Madam Zheng and Madam Liang, also smiled at Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu.

Xie Heng didn’t know what to say and just pretended not to hear them.

After dinner, Niu Tongsheng heard that Xie Heng and his wife had returned, so he went to the Chen clan’s house.

Niu Tongsheng said, “Well, it’s almost the end of June. Can I gather in the potatoes on Tripe Mountain? You haven’t been in the village for a long time, and I can’t discuss things with you.”

Zhao Chuchu said, “I will go up to the mountain tomorrow to check, but I have to bother Chief and Uncle Chen to help with gathering in the potatoes. I will go to Mingan Province with Da Lang in two days.”

Then, Zhao Chuchu told them about their plan briefly.

She wanted everyone in Lengshui Village to know what they were leaving here for.

She did not want the Great Prince to stir up trouble in Lengshui Village.

“When will you come back?”

“I am not sure yet. We need to figure out what Mr. Qiao’s friend’s strange disease is.”

“Okay, will Junjun stay in the village?”

“He will go with us.”

Niu Tongsheng frowned and said, “Mingan Province is quite far. Isn’t Junjun still taking medicine? I don’t think he should go with you.”

Xie Heng said, “It doesn’t matter. Chuchu can take care of him. Junjun will be fine with us.”

“Now that you have decided, we should just let Junjun go with you. Oh, right. Chuchu, we still need you to teach us how to gather in potatoes. After gathering in the potatoes, we can also gather in the rice.”

Speaking of rice, Niu Tongsheng was very excited and said, “Chuchu, your rice seed is really amazing. The harvest of the field we planted is more than all the early rice in previous years!”

Chen Dashan also said, “Yes, that’s right. The early rice will be enough for a whole year. I’ve never seen such efficient rice seeds!”

Niu Tongsheng and the Chen clan managed the fields that Zhao Chuchu planted.

Zhao Chuchu often went out, so she didn’t have time to take care of it.

If they hadn’t mentioned it, she would not remember that she still had rice to gather in.

“The rice seeds I gave you should be enough for the three of our families to grow late rice, but I can’t stay in the village. So I have to ask you to help me. I’ll pay you after I come back.”

“You don’t have to pay us. Don’t worry about it. We planted the rice you gave us. These harvests alone are more than those in previous years. Take that as your payment. Now many people want your rice seeds. I wonder if we can continue to use the rice planted this year.”

Niu Tongsheng was really looking forward to Zhao Chuchu’s positive answer.

Zhao Chuchu said calmly, “No. I will tell you how to keep rice seeds next year. Even if we plant rice seeds this year, the harvest will not be so good next year.”

In fact, it was feasible. Even if only half of this year’s harvest, it would be better than that in previous years.

Zhao Chuchu just did not want to give all the seeds to them.

If she did this, they would gradually think she should help them like this.

She naturally wanted to make others feel that high-yield rice seeds were difficult to get.

Otherwise, she would be making trouble for herself.

Niu Tongsheng said, “I see. Don’t worry. I will explain this to others clearly.”

Then Niu Tongsheng told Xie Heng about soybeans and sorghum.

Niu Tongsheng thought Xie Heng knew more about these two crops than Zhao Chuchu.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuchu told them that she would go home first.

The sweat all over her body made her feel sticky and greasy. She could not stand it anymore.

After Zhao Chuchu took a bath, Xie Heng and Xie Jun also came back.

“The water is still hot. You guys can go to take a shower now.”

Zhao Chuchu said to them while drying her hair.

Xie Jun said, “I’ll go!”

After taking a bath, he could go back to his room. He did not want to bother his brother and his sister-in-law.

Xie Jun was very thoughtful. He wanted to do everything possible to create opportunities for Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng.

He hoped that they could have babies soon.

...

Xie Heng walked over, took the towel from Zhao Chuchu, and asked Zhao Chuchu to sit on the stool in the yard.

“I’ll help you.”

He stood behind Zhao Chuchu.

The evening wind was blowing gently. There was a bright moon in the sky dotted with stars. In the distance, there were only faint outlines of endless mountains. And a beautiful girl was in front of Xie Heng.

All this was so peaceful, which made Xie Heng feel much more relaxed.

It would be nice if time stopped right now.

Xie Heng’s movements were gentle, and he slowly helped Zhao Chuchu dry her hair.

Then he sat beside Zhao Chuchu and said, “I haven’t enjoyed the cool like this for a long time. Looking at the stars and listening to insects, I feel the whole world gradually quiets down.”

“Now and in the future, you can do this whenever you want to.”

“Will you accompany me?”

“Of course.”

...

Zhao Chuchu promised him immediately.

They had formalized their relationship.

Zhao Chuchu would not hide her feelings anymore.

Xie Heng held Zhao Chuchu’s soft hand in his.

Zhao Chuchu’s hand was tiny, making his look big. Xie Heng could wrap Zhao Chuchu’s hand with his.

Xie Heng looked up at Zhao Chuchu and said, “Do girls all have tiny hands like yours?”

“You don’t know?”

“No.”

This was the first time Xie Heng had held a girl’s hand.

In the past, although he had married Sikou Qin and Zhao Chuchu, he had no physical contact with them.

“Generally, women have smaller, thinner bones than men. That’s why our hands seem smaller than men’s. Of course, nothing is absolute.”

Xie Heng kept looking at Zhao Chuchu’s hands. He imagined how many people had been saved by her tiny hands.

Xie Heng wanted to know everything about Zhao Chuchu.

But he knew that he should not ask too much. If he kept asking her questions, he feared that Zhao Chuchu would be angry.

He was waiting for Zhao Chuchu to tell him everything he wanted to know. He had the patience for it.
