Chapter 1328: Chapter 1150: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

The adults were too embarrassed to come to look on purpose, only daring to let some kids come, but even those kids didn’t dare to enter, they just watched from a distance outside the courtyard.

The children in the village were all somewhat afraid of Yege. When he was silent, he seemed too stern, and he was also tall and burly. Sometimes, when Yege appeared, those kids wouldn’t even dare to breathe. Despite Xia Dabao emphasizing over and over that her dad was very kind and particularly fond of children.

When Xia Dabao drove the horse cart back, she saw Wang San, Zhang Qianqian and the others gathered outside the courtyard, with Lanlan among them.

Knowing they must have come to see Long Aixi, she deliberately halted the horse and then called out from atop the cart, "Hey, all of you come over. I’ve bought candied fruit, two for each of you."

Wang San and Zhang Qianqian hurried over, but their eyes were fixed on Long Aixi the entire time. Long Aixi knew that the village kids had never seen him before and were just curious, so he raised his hand and waved to them.

Seeing Long Aixi being so generous, Wang San and the others became shy. They didn’t dare to stay long, and after grabbing the candied fruit, they giggled and ran away.

Xia Dabao laughed, "Look at these spineless ones. If they want to look, then look. I’ve even stopped the cart, yet they don’t dare to come over boldly."

Long Aixi also smiled and then asked Xia Dabao, "Are there usually not many outsiders coming to the village?"

"Not... really," Xia Dabao thought of Tian Xiaobei, but the treatment Tian Xiaobei received was like being trampled into the dust. She shook her head and spoke as if it was no big deal, "There are still some who come. For example, those from outside who come to buy fish, lychees, longans, and mountain produce, they come by occasionally. Each time those people come, the villagers go to watch. Alright, we’re home. Get off the cart, oh, and help me carry some stuff inside, I can’t carry so much by myself."

"Okay," Long Aixi agreed.

...

Aunt Nan Feng and Yege kept up the same enthusiastic welcome for Long Aixi as when they first met him. Aunt Nan Feng not only cooked him a good meal but also boiled water for him to take a bath.

Originally, when Aunt Nan Feng had not seen Long Aixi, she thought he was just a thirteen-year-old boy and could bunk with Axian. But now, seeing that the thirteen-year-old boy was so tall and that there were no other rooms available in the house, she discussed with Xia Dabao, "Dabao, how about letting Xiao’ai stay in your room? You can stay with Axian. Would that be okay? I didn’t realize Xiao’ai had grown so much; I thought he was about your height."

"Mom, isn’t my room a bit messy? Will Xiao’ai get used to it?" Xia Dabao honestly said that she wasn’t used to tidying her room, and there were some things that even she couldn’t find. Just that morning, she had spent a long time looking for her comb, only to discover it was tucked into her quilt, and surprisingly, it didn’t wake her up the whole night through.

Long Aixi’s ears reddened upon hearing Aunt Nan Feng and Xia Dabao’s conversation. He wasn’t thinking about how Xia Dabao’s room was messy, but rather that Xia Dabao was a young girl of marriageable age and he was a near-adult male. It was clearly inappropriate for him to stay in a young girl’s room, so he politely said to Aunt Nan Feng, "Aunt Nan Feng, I can stay with Axian. Axian’s bed isn’t small; we can squeeze in."

Aunt Nan Feng then thought that Long San and his folks had so many things to attend to in the village that they probably couldn’t stay for many days and would have to leave soon, so she decided to let Xiao’ai make do for a few nights.
