Chapter 1244: Chapter 1066: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Yes, Mother, I will go and chop some firewood and come back,"

"Go on, be careful," Widow Chen always felt something was off with Axiang. It was not until Axiang had left the house that she muttered, "Going to chop wood yet combing her hair like that."

Oh, right, what about the hairpin on Axiang’s head?

She remembered Axiang did not have that hairpin before. Could it be that a young man from the village had given it to her? Widow Chen hurried out the door to ask for clarity, but Axiang was nowhere to be seen outside and had run off to who knows where.

She thought, "Well, it’s all the same to ask the girl when she comes back."

Thus, Axiang ran all the way to the foot of the mountain, where Zhao Datu was already waiting.

Zhao Datu was dressed neatly today. He usually slouched around the village, but today he was also in coarse clothing, except he had a dark blue belt tied at his waist, which gave him a fairly sturdy and upright appearance.

Axiang blushed for some reason, and Zhao Datu saw her. He walked over to her immediately, taking the hatchet from her hand with a tender voice, "Here, let me help you."

Axiang nodded her head.

Thereafter, Zhao Datu took out a baked potato from his pocket, "Have some of this, don’t starve. I know you haven’t had breakfast."

Axiang became shy, "How did you know I didn’t have breakfast?"

"I just knew," Zhao Datu said with a smile, then looked at Axiang, "Let me peel it for you."

"There’s no need, I can do it myself," Axiang said, trying to take the potato.

Zhao Datu wouldn’t let her have it, raising the potato high, "Let me do it. This potato has too much ash, it’s dirty."

After peeling it, Zhao Datu didn’t hand the potato to Axiang but fed it to her mouth, "Here, take a bite."

Axiang was shy, "Brother Datu, I can eat it myself."

"There’s no water to wash hands on the mountain, and my hands are dirty anyway, I might as well hold it. Come on, take a bite. We’re all familiar here, why are you still so shy?" After saying this, Zhao Datu fed the potato to Axiang’s mouth again, and Axiang had to take another bite.

"Is it tasty?" Zhao Datu asked.

"It’s very tasty," Axiang replied, looking up only to feel Zhao Datu’s gaze burning like fire. His feeding her like this was a strange feeling, making her whole body feel warm.

"Have another bite, come on," Zhao Datu fed her a second bite, and Axiang took it. Axiang’s small mouth was very delicate, and because of her shyness, she didn’t bite much, yet her face remained red.

At that moment, Zhao Datu suddenly thought Axiang looked quite attractive, and feeding her the potato felt like feeding a cute little dog. He almost wanted to give up his plans.

But then he thought of the humiliations his mother had endured and Widow Chen’s previous arrogant behavior, Zhao Datu felt he must succeed.

After Axiang finished the entire potato, Zhao Datu said tenderly, "Alright, it’s getting late, let’s go up the mountain."

"Yes," Axiang still felt the warm sensation on her body hadn’t subsided, and her body seemed out of control. When Zhao Datu told her to go up the mountain, she just went.

Just like the last time, Zhao Datu didn’t let Axiang chop the wood, always saying a man should do the heavy and rough work, "It’s a pity your family doesn’t have a boy. If you had a boy, you wouldn’t have to work so hard."
