Chapter 32: Foster Problems (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

After a busy day, the wheat sheaves in the field were pushed back by Shu Maoting with a cart and stacked high in the open space behind the house.

The open space was half an acre in size, and the ground was solid and smooth. After a little care by Qin-shi, it could spread wheat. However, in the next two days, they would be busy digging the field to plant late-ripening corn, so they bundled the wheat aside. Fortunately, the days were poisonous, and they were not afraid of the wheat ears inside being damp.

For dinner, Qin-shi made water porridge, fried a plate of fried pork with beans, a plate of fried eggplant with sauce, mixed with a plate of cucumbers, and boiled quail eggs. The small square table was actually full.

The dining table was placed in the yard. Qin-shi finished packing and shouted to next door: “Ah Lang, come over to eat!”

“Coming!” Xiao Lang had just finished taking a shower, and was twisting the towel into a rope to wipe his body when he heard Qin-shi’s cry, and replied loudly from the room.

Even at night, the heat still lingered, so he changed into a sleeveless coarse shirt and walked over to the door.

Qin-shi and Shu Maoting sat opposite each other. Shu Wan sat on the side by herself and asked Shu Lan to sit with Xiao Lang.

Because Shu Lan got the quail eggs, Xiao Lang didn’t bully her for the past two days, and he was quite pitiful, so she didn’t refuse and sat obediently on the small stool beside the table.

After a tiring day, you feel very satisfied when you eat. There was a refreshing evening breeze blowing, and the yard was filled with the attractive fruity aroma of apricots.

Shu Lan lowered her head and was busy peeling the shells of quail eggs. Her small hands were covered with broken egg whites. When she finished peeling, there was not much white egg left. Looking at the uneven eggs in her hands, she pouted and sighed in annoyance.

Shu Wan chuckled softly and handed over what she had just peeled off: “Open your mouth!”

“Ah...” Shu Lan opened her mouth towards her older sister with a smile, caught the small quail egg, and said, “I have eaten two, older sister will eat two more!”

A total of eight quail eggs. Shu Maoting and Qin-shi each ate one, and the three children each had two of the rest.

The little girl was very sensible today. Qin-shi and a few looked at each other and expressed the same meaning with their eyes.

Shu Wan only ate one and pushed the plate to Xiao Lang’s side: “Ah Lang, eat more, now is the time for you to grow taller.”

Xiao Lang shook his head and said naturally and casually: “I don’t like eggs, so don’t make it difficult for me, Sister Wan.” He took one and placed it next to Shu Wan, then neatly peeled off one and put it on the spoon in Shu Lan’s bowl, and then he ate the last one.

Shu Lan looked at him, then looked down at the smooth white egg in the spoon, hesitated for a moment, then returned the egg: “You eat, you’ve done so much work, eat more!” It was a very simple thing, only if you did it yourself would you know how difficult it was. She couldn’t even pull out a handful of wheat, but he bent down and pulled out several ridges in a row... Humph, she was not someone who didn’t know anything. Xiao Lang helped her family work, she would not be greedy for his egg.

It was a very simple sentence, but Xiao Lang felt as if something had hit his chest, and it was warm to the bottom of his heart.

“Ah Lan is so good!” He smiled at her and ate the food without hesitation.

Qin-shi looked at the three children tenderly and was very satisfied.

After dinner, Shu Maoting went for a walk by the river, Qin-shi and Shu Wan were washing pots in the kitchen, and Shu Lan followed Xiao Lang to the apricot tree and wanted to pick apricots to eat.

The apricot tree was not tall, but now only a few apricots facing the sun were completely ripe, and they were out of Shu Lan’s reach.

Xiao Lang lowered his head and asked her: “Do you want to pick it yourself?”

Shu Lan nodded and smiled suddenly: “Then I’ll go and get a stool in the house, and then I’ll stand on it to pick it!” She turned around and ran away.

Xiao Lang pulled the person back. He slowly squatted down in Shu Lan’s shock, turned around, and said with a smile: “Come up, I’ll carry you.”

The undisguised tenderness in his eyes made Shu Lan stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at the figure squatting in front of her. He was tall, and even if he squatted, his head was level with her chest. The seemingly thin back was straight and two bare arms stretched back, waiting for her to lie down and wrap around her legs.

Unexpectedly, she took two steps back and said vigilantly: “Are you going to let me fall after a while?”

Xiao Lang’s good mood suddenly disappeared.

He stood up abruptly, glanced at her silently, then raised his feet to leave.

“Ah, don’t go, I want to eat apricots!” Shu Lan grabbed his arm without thinking, and said softly, “Then you are not allowed to throw me down this time!”

Xiao Lang immediately understood why she asked that just now. Thinking of the tricks he had made to her in the past, he immediately forgave Shu Lan’s distrust, looked at her seriously, and said: “Don’t worry, from now on, I will never bully you again, I’ll keep my promise.”

Shu Lan had heard this sentence many times!

She raised her head suspiciously and asked: “Then what if you bully me?”

Xiao Lang liked her slightly provocative appearance now, and asked back lightly: “What do you want to do?”

Shu Lan thought for a while. Her eyes brightened up and she smiled evilly: “Then if you bully me again, you will have to bark like a dog and lick my toes!” Puppies love to attach to people. She originally wanted him to lick her fingers, but she felt it was too easy, so she changed to her toes. At that time, she would not wash her feet for a few days and deliberately smoked him to death!
