Chapter 1148: Chapter 1150: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Axian gave Tian Xiaobei a thumbs-up: "Brother Xiaobei is impressive, my sister doesn’t get it at all."

Xia Dabao glanced at Axian with disdain: "I just don’t want to bother with you, it’s not that I don’t understand."

Nan Feng said to Xiaobei with a smile, "These two siblings always behave like this. Don’t take it to heart, Xiaobei."

Xiaobei shook his head, "Not at all, they seem to have a good relationship. I can tell, Auntie, your family has a very close bond."

He wanted to say that he felt particularly comfortable at Nan Feng’s home and that he really liked the atmosphere there.

Nan Feng then took the opportunity to ask, "Xiaobei, you must have read a lot of books, right? What kinds of books do you read?"

Tian Xiaobei replied, "Auntie, I read a wide variety of books. I’ll read anything with text, and also, my parents used to run a Medical Hall, so I’ve read quite a few medical books, including veterinary ones. That’s why I’ve memorized some knowledge about livestock delivery."

"Not bad, I like children who read a lot," said Nan Feng. "Such children are polite."

Tian Xiaobei felt somewhat saddened, "But now, I feel that reading a lot isn’t really that useful, not as much as being strong. Earning a living that way seems simpler."

Brother Xiaobei disagreed with Tian Xiaobei’s viewpoint and began to give him some guidance, "Xiaobei, you mustn’t think like that. Everyone has different strengths. For example, if you put a fish from the water onto a mountain, it can’t swim; and if you take the fastest leopard from the mountains and put it in water, its combat power is no better than a cow’s. As a Scholar, you naturally can’t compare your strength with the mountaineers here, but you also have qualities many villagers can’t match. You’ll see this for yourself over time."

Nan Feng nodded in agreement, "Right. Let’s take accounting as an example. Many villagers can’t do it. Speaking of which, the lychees in our Lychee Garden are about to ripen, aren’t they? Every year, we ask some villagers to help pick the lychees. So, when the time comes, could we ask for your help with the counting? You’ll get food and pay."

Tian Xiaobei thought for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.

Moreover, Brother Xiaobei’s words had a significant impact on him. Since he had come to the village, he had been oppressed by Zhao Datu, felt there was no way to communicate, and his aunt was too timid, so he had kept to himself. Now, in such a warm home, he felt much better emotionally.

...

When Tian Xiaobei went back home after dinner, it was already dark.

But he felt much better, and even halfway home, he turned to take another look at the yard.

The yard was encircled by hedges, and he could barely see Xia Dabao washing dishes in the yard, listen to Nan Feng calling Axian to get ready for a bath and see Brother Xiaobei’s tall figure emerging from the house, holding something unknown in his hand.

He felt a little reluctant to leave; that home was really warm.

But it was not his own, and he still had to return to his own cold house.

And just as he reached the door, Tian Xiaobei saw someone blocking the doorway to his house, and even though it was dark, he knew it was Zhao Datu by the silhouette.

Zhao Datu stood in the middle, a piece of grass in his mouth that he used to pick his teeth after meals.

"Did you go to Abao’s home for dinner?" Zhao Datu asked from his lofty position.

Tian Xiaobei responded indifferently, "Then don’t you already know?"

"I do know, but I want you to admit it yourself. Tell me, who let you go to Abao’s house?"
