Chapter 1146: Chapter 1148: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao was somewhat pleased, "Actually, I feel the same way, but I’m not sure if Tian Xiaobei will be willing to eat at our house? He didn’t even seem too keen on taking the eggs I offered him today."

Nan Feng chuckled, "Mother has her ways."

Axian heard that Tian Xiaobei was going to eat at their house and seemed very happy, although he didn’t know why he had such a good impression of Axian.

Later on, Yege came back and, seeing Nan Feng cooking so many dishes, he asked, "Fengfeng, why are you preparing so many dishes today? Didn’t we agree not to cook so much during the hot weather for fear of wasting food? And you’ve always been trying to eat less at dinner, worrying about gaining weight in middle age."

Nan Feng let out a chuckle and repeated the news about Tian Xiaobei coming later to borrow books for Abao, "Tian Xiaobei will come later to get some books for Abao. We’re planning to keep him here for dinner. So please, don’t appear too aloof later, smile a little, and don’t scare him off."

Upon hearing this, Yege became interested as well and hugged Nan Feng with a kiss, "Alright, I’ll do my best."

And so the family reached an agreement.

As nightfall approached, Tian Xiaobei indeed arrived. As he reached the entrance, he saw Axian playing with a top in the yard and called out to him, "Axian?"

Axian looked up, saw Tian Xiaobei, and knew that the plan was to keep him for dinner, with Axian’s only task being to show the way and not to say anything.

Axian pointed toward the house and continued to play with his top.

"Axian, can you call your sister out for a moment? I need to speak with her."

Axian pretended not to hear.

Tian Xiaobei didn’t really want to go inside, but he had promised Dabao, and he thought about leaving the books in the yard, but they were too precious to risk getting dirty, so he braced himself and headed toward the house.

Their house seemed to be preparing for dinner, as the yard was filled with delicious aromas—there was the smell of fish and also pork, and Tian Xiaobei swallowed hard.

He hadn’t eaten since he put down his fishing gear a while ago.

Just as he reached the door, Xia Dabao came out and asked him, "You’re here? Where are the books?"

Tian Xiaobei handed over the books to Xia Dabao, hesitating for a moment before finally giving them to her.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Nan Feng came out and immediately called out to Tian Xiaobei, "Oh, is that Xiaobei?"

Xia Dabao quickly responded, "Yes, he’s Tian Xiaobei."

Nan Feng stepped out in front of Tian Xiaobei, appearing very enthusiastic, "Zhao Ersao was just talking about you yesterday, saying that you are particularly sensible and polite. I’ve been wanting to come over to see you, but I’ve been so busy with Lychee Forest. Now that you’re here, we have the opportunity. Why not stay for dinner before you leave?"

"Auntie, there’s no need," said Tian Xiaobei, who, while declining, did not seem adamant in his refusal.

"Oh, don’t be so formal, we’re all neighbors here, and I’m very close with your auntie. We often interact with each other; it would be strange to stand on ceremony."

Tian Xiaobei was about to refuse again when Yege also came out and asked, "Do we have a guest today?"

Tian Xiaobei glanced at Yege and was taken aback for a moment.

From the way Nan Feng looked, he had felt that despite her simple clothing, it was quite fitting and a bit more stylish than the outfits of other village women, and her manners and speech were impeccable, not like an ordinary village woman. Now, upon seeing Yege, he was even more astonished.
