Chapter 1127: Chapter 1129 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei
The boy didn’t speak. It was his Aunt Zhao who answered for him, "Elder Sister-in-law, he’s sensible and will definitely know what to do."
Only then did Aunt Zhao clutch the jade pendant and hurried back to her room, stepping twice for every three she took. After all, she was the mistress of the household. She could enjoy the right to manage the family’s wealth and decide who could stay or go.
Aunt Zhao also held the boy’s hand and sighed in relief, "Beibei, don’t worry. Stay here with your aunt and one day, your parents will come to pick you up, ah."
The boy nodded faintly.
When he turned to go inside, he glanced faintly in Xia Dabao’s direction as if he knew that Xia Dabao had been watching him.
Xia Dabao gave an embarrassed laugh.
Although she was a bit rough around the edges, she definitely had a compassionate heart. She knew the way Aunt Zhao’s family was and figured that this boy’s future might not be so easy.
And so, her preconceptions about the boy evaporated.
...
During dinner, the family sat together as usual, and Brother Ye asked about Long Aixi’s situation. Before Xia Dabao could say anything, Nan Feng recounted the contents of the letter to Brother Ye in detail.
Xia Dabao couldn’t help protesting, "Mom, didn’t you say that reading other people’s letters is impolite?"
"Ah, right," Nan Feng explained, "I accidentally saw it when I took it off the carrier pigeon. It wasn’t on purpose."
Brother Ye placed a piece of leftover rabbit meat in Dabao’s bowl and then gave one to Axian before speaking, "Baby, your mother is definitely right."
"..." In the realm of tricking a child, Xia Dabao only acknowledged her own parents.
Axian munched on the rabbit meat and started asking, "Dad, when are we going to find Brother Aixi? We’ve never seen Brother Aixi before. What does he look like, where does he live, what does he like to eat, is he strong?"
Xia Dabao responded from the side, "You’ve asked those questions at least eight hundred times. Mom and Dad don’t have the time. Sister might sometimes, but she doesn’t know the way and doesn’t have the travel expenses, so it’s just been dragging on."
Axian couldn’t help but ask again, "Then don’t you miss Brother Aixi?"
"Why should I miss him? I haven’t even met him. He’s just a friend to write to and practice calligraphy with," Xia Dabao said.
"It’s not easy for your parents to take a trip out. We’ll have to see when they have time to come over for a visit. It’s at least a two day and one night journey by horse from here to Aixi’s house," Nan Feng said.
Comparable to the distance from southern Fujian to Guangdong.
Axian felt very disappointed and said, "Then when I learn to read, I will write a letter to Brother Aixi too, asking him to teach me how to fight."
"Sure," laughed Brother Ye, "then you need to eat more, practice writing diligently, and try to grow taller soon; otherwise, Brother Aixi might think you’re too short to play with you."
"..." Worrying that he might remain short forever, Axian promptly began to eat more eagerly.
You see, in terms of tricking a child, Xia Dabao felt there wasn’t another pair in the whole of Peach Blossom Town that could match them.
"By the way, did Aunt Zhao next door have relatives over?" Nan Feng asked Brother Ye. In a village this small, everyone knew what was going on in each household.
Brother Ye nodded, "Seems like it, but I’m not sure."
Immediately, Axian raised his hand, "I know, I know! Someone did come. It was a brother. My sister and I saw him at the market, and sister said that he was a bad guy who tricks children. I didn’t expect him to be a relative from Aunt Zhao’s family."
Axian’s ability to express himself still needed improvement, and after this long speech, he was a bit out of breath.
