23. Chapter 23

Tai'an Prefecture, North City Gate.

A Tao yawned, lifted his nephew's quilt, rubbed his eyes and sat up, "Brother, haven't Sister Xu come yet?"

Lu Cheng held his son and was walking around the donkey cart. He glanced at the north city gate and said, "It should be soon."

Anan didn't understand what his father and aunt were saying. The little guy lay on his father's shoulder, staring at the people on both sides of the official road with big eyes curiously. He rarely went out, and when he was in the village, he would play with his aunts and uncles at the gate of his yard, and rarely see so many people at once.

A Tao looked at his nephew enviously, admired him for not being sleepy at all. After staring at the North City Gate for a while, the seven-year-old girl couldn't help but complain, "Sister Xu is here so late, why did the elder brother have to get up so early? Last time, it was also because Aunt San got up early to cook for us."

When they entered the city, they walked back slowly after breakfast at Aunt San’s house.

Lu Cheng looked at his sister's innocent and innocent little face and couldn't help but be glad that his sister was young. If she was a few years older, she would probably have guessed it.

Just as he was thinking about how to fool him, Lu Cheng's eyes were certain and he nervously pinched his son's little butt, "Anan see who is coming."

When Anan heard this, his little head turned immediately.

Unfortunately, there were too many people, tall and short. Anan didn't notice any special person. He blinked his eyes and looked at his father in confusion.

Lu Cheng stared at the figure at the city gate that was sometimes covered by passers-by, his heart beating like a drum.

In front of the city gate, Ningxiang walked very slowly because she met Lu Cheng before leaving the city last time. This time she paid attention to the various wooden carts parked on the inside of the city gate, and several donkeys. They looked at each one and were not from the Lu family. Standing under the city gate, he finally glanced at the city and confirmed that he was really not there. Ningxiang turned around and left the city in just three steps.

When I came out, I saw the tall and tall man in front of me from afar, standing beside the donkey cart, holding a boy doll in my arms and looking at her.

Seeing Anan's cute look around, Ningxiang chuckled softly and accelerated her pace toward the donkey cart.

Lu Cheng stood there without moving, trying hard to restrain his worries and misses, and naturally smiled at her.

"Sister Xu!" A Tao knelt on the donkey cart, holding the car board to greet Ningxiang.

Anan then found the right person and stared at Ningxiang as he was getting closer and closer for a while. He had long forgotten that the little guy who had been with him for the past month had leaned on his father's shoulder with restraint, just like when he first met, Zhisheng stared at Ningxiang with curiosity.

The boy doesn't remember him anymore, Ningxiang is a little disappointed.

Lu Cheng saw it, held his son and walked towards Ningxiang twice, lowered his head to teach him, "This is Aunt Xiang. Anan asked Aunt Xiang to carry her to her house for dinner last time. Did Anan forget it?"

Anan just forgot that because he was so close to Ningxiang that the little guy turned his head and got into his father's arms.

The son was not good, and Lu Cheng was so angry that he really wanted to slap him.

Ningxiang was just a little bit lost and soon got better. After all, Anan was too young and the two had only been together for a long time. Putting the bag on the donkey cart, Ningxiang turned around, clapped Anan, and smiled softly, "Dad is going to drive the car. Can Anan be hugged for his aunt?"

She smiled very gently, her beautiful almond eyes were particularly beautiful. Anan looked at her and was a little moved, but she still looked up at her father.

Lu Cheng looked at his son hesitating whether to hug him, and then thought of the little guy crying and insisting on pestering Ningxiang last month, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh.

"Go, Aunt Xiang likes Anan the most." Lu Cheng encouraged like a kind father.

Anan looked at Ningxiang again, and then he tentatively turned towards Ningxiang.

Ningxiang reached out to pick it up, but Lu Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at her and said, "Let's get in the car first, I'll give Anan to you after I'm done."

Ningxiang nodded and turned around and drove away.

Anan thought his new aunt was leaving and had just accepted her child. She was a little anxious now and screamed, wanting to chase her.

Lu Cheng was ready to fight his son at noon.

"Sister Xu sat on the mattress, it was warm here." A Tao obediently gave Ningxiang a place.

Ningxiang smiled at her, sat down and handed a bag of chestnuts over, "Atao eats chestnuts."

A Tao smiled and picked up a greasy paper bag from the side, "Brother bought it for me too."

Ningxiang put down her and turned around to look at the car.

Anan couldn't wait to reach out to her.

The little guy fell in love with him quickly again. Ningxiang was particularly satisfied and happily took him over. The sincere smile dazzled Lu Cheng's eyes. His son was in his arms. He was still standing by the car stupidly, staring at Ningxiang.

Ningxiang lowered her head and didn't notice Anan didn't notice it. Anan saw her father. The little guy liked the donkey cart to move the most. He also knew that her father could make the donkey cart move, so he stretched out his little finger and pointed to the donkey, and called her father crisply, "Driving!"

One word is yelled crisply and accurately, as if his father is a donkey.

Lu Cheng's face immediately sank.

Ningxiang lowered her head and held back her laughter, afraid that Lu Cheng would scare Anan. She hugged Anan and changed the topic in time, "Has Anan eaten?"

Anan looked at her, nodded obediently, and there was no dad in her eyes.

Lu Cheng gently pinched his son's ear from behind and went to the front to catch the bus with satisfaction.

The donkey slept for a long time last night, and now he is in high spirits and walks very fast. Soon the donkey cart left the bustling place in the city gate, and the surroundings are becoming more and more quiet. One big or two small on the cart chats softly, with gentle or crisp sounds that make the atmosphere look very peaceful.

Ningxiang took out the small gift she prepared and sent it to Anan for shaking, "Anan is one year old, and my aunt sewed a small purse and gave it to Anan for her, leaving Anan for her to pack her change."

Anan stared at her hand as she was taking out her purse. Now, seeing this red purse, the boy who had only seen his father's dusty purse, widened his eyes, and didn't know what it was. He held it in his hand and lowered his head to fiddle.

Lu Cheng turned around and saw the purse in his son's hand. An undetectable greed flashed in Taohua's eyes, but he said with Ningxiang very embarrassedly: "Anan is so young, how can I use purse? Miss Xu should take it back and give it to Amu."

Ningxiang smiled at him and said, "Amu has come here long ago. Brother Lu, you have to be polite. I sewed it with the remaining scraps. At most, I have spent some needlework and threading. It is not worth much money. Let's keep it for Anan to play."

"money!"

Anan suddenly looked up and said, not knowing why the little guy's hand was so coincidental, he actually opened his purse. He touched his hand and grabbed two copper plates. The copper plates were very new and shining under the sunlight.

Anan was so excited that he showed off to his father, "Money!"

Lu Cheng looked at Ningxiang helplessly, "You..."

"It's only two cents to make Anan happy." Ningxiang touched Anan's little head, smiled very gently, and taught the boy's baby: "This purse is used to hold money. Who will give Anan the New Year's money in the future? Anan will put it in the purse. Do you remember?"

While talking, he grabbed the copper coins and put them in his purse, tightened the rope on it to show Anan, and then hung it around Anan's neck. Ningxiang specially chose a red cloth belt, and Anan had worn it. The red purse was beautiful and festive, like a long-lived lock worn by a rich child.

"It looks so good!" Ningxiang lowered her head and kissed Anan's face.

Anan giggled, and the fat little fat shaking his purse with his hands, then lowered his head and sat in Ningxiang's arms, continued to play with the purse, untied it, took out two cents, and put it in and tied it. It seemed very simple and boring to adults, and he had fun with relish.

A Tao also liked this silk purse, so she came over to coax her nephew, "Can Anan show her aunt, can you?"

She didn't want to snatch her from her nephew, she just wanted to see the embroidery pattern on it.

"No!" Anan immediately twisted his body and crawled into Ningxiang's arms, covered his purse and threw himself on Ningxiang's body.

My nephew was stingy, and A Tao pouted in anger. Seeing that her nephew's crotch-opener showed a white and tender butt, she deliberately poked it.

Anan has become accustomed to being pinched by his father, aunt and uncles, and he doesn't care at all, so he continues to hide from his aunt playing with his purse.

One was nestled in her arms and the other was sitting next to her. Lu Cheng was inexplicably sad, and always felt that his thoughts were all cheaper than his son and sister.

I turned my head reluctantly and suddenly saw a woman on the left path on Guanlu, leading a little girl toward Guanlu, looking at her donkey cart while walking. She felt that it was too late, so she ran a few steps, obviously trying to take a ride.

Lu Cheng thought about it and turned around and asked Ningxiang, "Miss Xu, I think they want to take a ride, let's take them all the way?"

Ningxiang looked ahead when she heard this, and saw the mother and daughter who were rushing to go, nodded and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Seeing Lu Cheng turn back, Ningxiang figured it out.

He, this is his car, he will pull whoever he wants, why ask her for her opinion?

Are you afraid that she doesn't want to squeeze into a car with people?

Just when she was confused, Lu Cheng stopped the car and said to the woman who was still a long way away: "Sister-in-law, go slowly, don't hurry."

The woman was overjoyed and replied gratefully: "Thank you, little brother is such a good person!"

Lu Cheng smiled. It was just a simple task. When he went out, he would help him when he had something to do.

After the woman and the mother got into the car panting, Lu Cheng continued to drive the donkey.

The woman was in her early twenties and looked pretty, but she was a little darker. After getting in the car, she gasped for a while before she said to Ningxiang: "Does her brother and sister be fifteen years old? It doesn't look like she had given birth to a child."

Because Ningxiang was holding Anan, she misunderstood that Ningxiang and Lu Cheng were husband and wife.

Ningxiang's face turned red and she looked forward instinctively.

With eyes facing each other, Lu Cheng's face was a little red and sweet. Seeing that she was at a loss, he explained generously: "My sister-in-law misunderstood. It was Miss Xu from my neighboring village. Let's go home and she will help me take care of the children."

The woman looked at the handsome man who was driving the car, and then looked at the beautiful girl who blushed and bowed her head without saying a word. She felt a little regretful. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were so handsome that she was not a family.

"Mom..." The girl beside her suddenly pulled her sleeve.

"What are you doing?" the woman lowered her head.

The girl pursed her lips, and her dark eyes turned eagerly to the two packs of oil paper bags placed beside Ningxiang, and then she called out to her softly.

It was obvious that it was food. The woman was very embarrassed and wanted to say something else to change her daughter's mind.

When Ningxiang saw this, she smiled at the girl, hugged Anan with one hand and held the oiled paper bag with the other.

Anan stared at her hand with good eyes. Seeing her grab two chestnuts and handed it to the black girl opposite, the little guy was anxious and hugged Ningxiang's hand, "No!"

Ningxiang was stunned.

The chestnut that was about to be heard was stopped by someone. The girl was anxious and raised her head to urge her mother, "Mom, I want to eat!"

Anan looked at her, suddenly raised her little head, looked at Ningxiang and said, "Mom, no!"
