They rolled a few times, and would use their little heads to rub against Su Xiaoxiao’s body very gently, so they wouldn’t disturb her writing.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh a little.
She inexplicably felt like a charger, when the three little ones rubbed against her, she felt like she could endure more.
Su Xiaoxiao finished practicing the last word, and it was already half an hour later.
Su Ergou had already snored long ago, while the three little ones also ran out of battery and fell asleep in a daze.
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her slightly sore wrist and looked at the thick stack of achievements on her desk, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
She gently got out of the bed, put away the table, and covered the three little ones with a quilt.
After doing these, she went back to the east room.
Originally she thought that at this hour, Wei Ting would have rested long ago. But unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Wei Ting was sitting in the room polishing the dagger.
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva.
Ah, she really wants this dagger ah!
She seriously thinks that this guy was intentional!
His purpose was to use the danger to lure her to hand over the token in exchange!
It was a pity that she couldn’t get the token at this moment, so she could only stare greedily.
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and walked over calmly, “It’s already midnight, and you are still awake, grinding a knife in the room. What? Do you want to get rich by killing?”
Wei Ting said faintly, “You also know that it’s already midnight. Does it take that long to sew the clothes?”
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and said, “I…… I just love to sew that much!”
Wei Ting: “Heh.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, “Anyway, it’s not because I was practicing calligraphy!”
Wei Ting: “……”
After turning the lights off, the two of them lay down on the soft bed.
Despite sleeping in the same room for many days, the two of them didn’t even cross beyond the line, with one quilt for each person.
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and asked, “Wei Ting, did you just say ‘does it take that long to sew the clothes’? Do you feel that I sew for too long, leaving you alone in the room, so you can’t sleep ah?”
Wei Ting faintly said, “No.”
Su Xiaoxiao: “Oh.”
Su Xiaoxiao added, “Then why do you have to wait for me before sleeping?”
Wei Ting said, “Who is waiting for you? Don’t be too sentimental.”
“Hmph.” Su Xiaoxiao snorted weakly and rolled over, turning her back to him.
After thinking for a moment, she turned over and stared at his perfect side face.
There was a beautiful man on her side, although she couldn’t have him, but he was nice to look at!
Not long after, Su Xiaoxiao’s eyelids began to close, until they could no longer open.
In the dead of night.
Listening to the even breathing on his side, Wei Ting’s heart gradually became calmer.
The hatred and distractions that kept churning in his mind gradually faded away, he closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep as well.
——
Su Xiaoxiao had to do business, so she woke up earlier, but she didn’t know that Mrs. Wu and Liu Ping would arrive even earlier.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the door for the two of them and said, “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“No, we just arrived.” Mrs. Wu said.
The two of them entered the house.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ping, “Big brother Liu, you don’t have to come so early.”
Liu Ping was mainly responsible for woodworking and transportation. He could come after the snacks were made.
Liu Ping smiled honestly and said, “I just come over to see if I can help, like chopping firewood, carrying water, setting fire, I can do it all.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “For these works, Ergou can do it.”
Liu Ping said, “Let Ergou sleep a little longer!”
There was a reason why Su Xiaoxiao changed the work schedule of the young couple, not only because of the differences in labor, but also because of considerations for the Meizi sisters.
“The two children are still young. It’s not the same as before, with so many adults taking care of them.”
The place where they lived now was on the edge of the fishpond, which was secluded and quiet, without neighbors. If a thief or robber came, the two children would be in danger.
Liu Ping felt that it wouldn’t be that bad, the village should be safe ah. Moreover, he also locked the door when he went out, so no one wouldn’t be able to get in.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Big brother Liu, it’s better for you to return, you can come again at dawn.”
Mrs. Wu said, “Listen to Daya.”
“Oh…… Okay!”
Liu Ping scratched his head and went back.
As it turned out, it was fortunate that he went back.
Because just as he arrived at the door of his house, he found that the door lock had been pried open.
