Chapter 1263: Chapter 1085: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

There were already many people at the entrance of the village. Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everywhere you looked, men and women were dressed in new clothes. The ladies were almost all clad in red, and as soon as Zhao Datu arrived, he habitually searched through the crowd for that slim and cheerful lady.

Meanwhile, Axiang still followed closely behind Zhao Dabao.

As someone passed by Zhao Datu’s side and saw Axiang trailing behind, they couldn’t help but start to tease Zhao Datu, "Yo, Datu, bringing your bride to watch the play today? You sly dog, getting hitched to a new bride without telling us. That’s just wrong. You deprived us of a chance to tease the newlyweds."

"The guy’s keeping his bride to enjoy all by himself, what do you want? They say newlyweds are like lovebirds, but I think Datu has forgotten who he is?"

"Hey, maybe we’ll see a little Datu by the end of the year?"

"Hahaha..."

At first, Zhao Datu didn’t listen carefully, as he was looking for Xia Dabao. But then he heard them and couldn’t help growing angry, "What are you blabbing about? Talk nonsense again and I’ll sock you. Listen here, this woman behind me, whoever wants her can take her. You like her so much, you sleep with her!"

Axiang went pale behind him, nearly dropping the stool on her own foot.

The jokers, realizing they had said something wrong, scattered away.

Perhaps because most of the girls were wearing red, Zhao Datu took quite a while to find Xia Dabao, until a girl suddenly stood on a bench and waved in Zhao Datu’s direction.

She wore a little red jacket, and her braids were tied with red cords — oh how adorable she was.

Who could it be if not Xia Dabao?

Zhao Datu’s heart skipped a beat, thinking Xia Dabao was waving at him. He was about to wave back when he heard a voice nearby, "Abao, we’re coming, coming right now..."

It was Lanlan’s voice. Zhao Datu glanced over and saw not only Lanlan but also Tian Xiaobei walking beside her.

It turned out the call wasn’t for him, and he felt both disappointed and irate at once.

As soon as Tian Xiaobei and Lanlan saw Xia Dabao, they quickly made their way to her. Xia Dabao had already snagged a good spot and quickly invited Tian Xiaobei and Lanlan to sit down, squeezing Axian between herself and Xiaobei.

Ever since Zhao Datu set eyes on Xia Dabao, he couldn’t look away. He made his way behind her. There were originally two other village boys standing there, but fearing him, they quickly made room for him when they saw it was him.

Axiang managed to squeeze her way in too, still holding that very stool. She laboriously set the stool down but did not sit herself. Instead, she first offered it to Zhao Datu, "Datu, take a seat."

Zhao Datu glared fiercely at Axiang, "Didn’t I tell you not to come along?"

Axiang hung her head, feeling wronged.

Perhaps Zhao Datu’s shout had been too loud, for Xia Dabao in front heard it too. Xia Dabao turned her head and saw Zhao Datu and Axiang standing there awkwardly.

"Axiang, you came too?" Xia Dabao evidently cared about Axiang. By the abandoned well that day, she had urged Zhao Datu to marry Axiang. Afterward, she had always worried about Axiang having a hard time at Zhao Dabao’s mother’s house. Just yesterday morning, she had overheard Zhao Dabao’s mother berating Axiang by the fish pond, scolding her fiercely.

Axiang hardly dared to respond to Xia Dabao. Zhao Datu had said before that Xia Dabao was the girl he most wanted to marry, so Axiang was extremely envious of Xia Dabao. Along with the envy came a tinge of inferiority.

"Dabao is calling you," seeing Axiang still in a daze, Zhao Datu couldn’t help but give her a shove, and Axiang was almost knocked off her feet.
