Chapter 1168: Chapter 1170: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

She even thought that when she married, she would find someone strong like her father, so that when she got tired from walking, she could have someone to carry her like this.

"Dad, it hurts, Dabao can’t walk," Xia Dabao cooed.

Without a second word, Ye Ge squatted down in front of Xia Dabao, who promptly climbed on. Lifting Xia Dabao was a breeze for Ye Ge; it was as easy as carrying a little cat, effortless. At that moment, with Xia Dabao lying on her father’s back, she forgot her pain, forgot who was around her, forgot how she fell, and knew only that she lay upon a broad shoulder like a little princess, with all the love in the world belonging to her.

No wonder the village aunties always asked her, have you ever been held by your dad, have you ever been carried by him?

Is it comfortable?

Nonsense, of course it’s comfortable!

Tian Xiaobei watched as Xia Dabao was carried inside, lying on her dad’s shoulder like a little cat, while Ye Ge’s body was so strong, each step he took incredibly steady.

Xia Dabao didn’t even say goodbye to him, which left Tian Xiaobei feeling a bit disappointed.

As Tian Xiaobei watched Xia Dabao’s figure disappear into the house, he turned to look at Nan Feng.

Nan Feng hadn’t followed inside; she still had to settle the account with Tian Xiaobei.

"Aunt Nan Feng, I’m sorry, if I hadn’t driven the horse cart badly, Abao wouldn’t have been injured," Tian Xiaobei said with much regret.

"It was Abao who insisted on you driving the carriage, wasn’t it?" Nan Feng asked with a smile.

A mother knows her daughter best.

"She... but it’s still my fault for not driving well," Tian Xiaobei persisted apologetically.

"I don’t blame you, and Abao won’t blame you either. We also want to thank you for accompanying her to the county town," Nan Feng then took out a string of shiny copper coins from her purse: "This is your pay for the past few days, including managing our accounts, and also for accompanying Abao to the town."

Tian Xiaobei looked at the coins, knowing there must be quite a lot there. Ye Ge and Nan Feng were generous people, always trying to give a little extra, but he only took half and returned the other half to Nan Feng’s hand: "Aunt Nan Feng, I won’t be keeping this money on me after all. How about this, leave half with you, and you can keep it for me. When I need it, I’ll come and get it back from you, okay?"

Nan Feng naturally guessed what Tian Xiaobei was worried about and thought for a moment before responding: "Okay, I’ll keep it for you, and you can come and get it when you need it."

"Thank you, Aunt Nan Feng."

...

Tian Xiaobei was right; he had just returned to Aunt Zhao’s house and given her all the copper coins he brought back. Aunt Zhao originally didn’t want them, but Tian Xiaobei insisted that she keep them. Before Aunt Zhao could even hide the money, Aunt Zhao’s elder sister came over again.

As soon as Aunt Zhao’s elder sister entered the room, she raised her voice and shouted, "Oh, finally back from gallivanting around? I heard you went to sell lychees with Ye Ge’s Abao? How much money did you make?"

Aunt Zhao looked at the money in her hand: "Just seventy copper coins."

"How come only seventy copper coins? My Datu worked for two days and earned a hundred coins. You only got seventy, who are you trying to fool? Did Ye Ge and his wife cheat you? If they did, I’ll go talk to them," Aunt Zhao’s elder sister said.

Tian Xiaobei had to stand up and explain: "We spent some today in the county town, so only this much is left. I want to keep this money for my aunt."
