Chapter 1154: Chapter 1156: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"But, Axian is skinny too."

"Who says that? Where are you skinny?" Xia Dabao pinched Axian’s round cheeks. "Look at your face, so much flesh. If you eat any more, you’ll turn into a pig."

After saying that, Xia Dabao peeled the small and green lychee for Axian and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as Axian ate it, his eyes, nose, and mouth all scrunched up sourly.

Xia Dabao watched Axian’s comical expression and couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

Axian’s eyes teared up from the sourness, but still, he frowned, swallowed the flesh, and then spat out the seed. Xia Dabao, worried that Axian would have a bad impression of lychees from now on, picked a larger one for him. "Alright, you’re not that fat. Just eat a few for now."

"Thank you, sister," Axian finally had a sweet and large lychee, now smiling with genuine happiness.

...

Xia Dabao continued to stroll through the Lychee Forest with Axian. In the forest, there were workers responsible for picking the fruit, which they then handed over to some village women. They were tasked with selecting the large bunches and fruits, while the smaller ones could be eaten by them. Although some of the women liked to take advantage of eating larger ones, Xia Dabao felt it was understandable, who doesn’t like bigger fruits?

The selected lychees would be placed in bamboo baskets covered with lychee leaves, then carried to the outside in batches. Ye Ge was outside directing the transport, and Tian Xiaobei was following him, keeping the accounts.

"Dad," Xia Dabao excitedly waved to Ye Ge, then led Axian over.

"Dabao, Axian," Ye Ge was busy, but when he saw his two children approaching, he was very happy and quickly asked Xia Dabao, "Is it hot? If it’s hot, stay in the shade under the tree."

"Not hot, not at all," said Xia Dabao. "I didn’t help with any work; I just ate lychees."

Ye Ge then asked Axian, "What about Axian? Were you good today? Did you listen to your sister and not run around?"

"Axian didn’t run around," Axian said in his milky voice. "And I ate lots of lychees. Sister picked the big ones for me, and the big ones are sweet."

Xia Dabao was not pleased. "Axian, I gave you all the big ones, and now you snitch on me?"

Ye Ge laughed, "Let it be, let it be. It’s only your mother who said not to eat the big ones. Dad didn’t say you couldn’t have them. Dad thinks you two should eat whatever you want. The lychees that your mom, dad, and you two worked so hard to grow, of course, you should have the best, isn’t that right?"

Xia Dabao was extremely touched. If there weren’t so many people around, she would have hugged Ye Ge right then. "Dad is absolutely right. But we’re full now, we couldn’t eat anymore."

"Alright, then eat less. Too many lychees can cause heatiness. Remember to drink some saltwater when you get back home."

"Got it, Dad."

Someone on the other side called for Ye Ge, who then walked away, while Xia Dabao looked at Tian Xiaobei, who was busy keeping accounts, and patted his shoulder. "Hey, how’s the accounting going?"

"Not bad," Tian Xiaobei smiled at Xia Dabao, who noticed his lips were chapped. She quickly asked, "It’s such a hot day, aren’t you drinking any water?"

"I’m busy," said Tian Xiaobei.

"Then have some lychees," Xia Dabao took out a few from her pocket and handed them to Tian Xiaobei. "Eat these, I picked them especially for you. They’re big and sweet. But remember, after eating, you should drink some saltwater at night."

Tian Xiaobei looked at the lychees in his hand, then smiled at Xia Dabao. "Okay, thank you."
