Chapter 22: Don't Treat Me Like A Fool

  "Alright then." Su Xiao Fan didn't say anything else either, and took the two people's dirty clothes before walking out.

  Xiao Yi Mo made sure she had left before getting up to wipe her body and put on clothes.

  "Go to sleep first, Su Xiaofan. You can get up and wash your clothes tomorrow." Ye Shi said from inside the house to Su Xiaofan outside.

  "Alright, grandma go to sleep first, I'll just dry my hair and then sleep." Su Xiaofan lowered her head, using a towel to pat her hair back and forth, suddenly missing the hair dryer.

  Xiao Yi Mo put on his clothes and came out, using a towel to tightly wrap up his undried ink-black hair. Luckily someone had brought him a towel, otherwise he would have had to do what Su Xiao Fan did - pat his hair dry.

  Su Xiaofan was exhausted to the point of being half-dead, and only managed to get her hair half-dry. She straightened up and looked at Xiao Yimeng beside her, and couldn't help but be filled with doubt - how did his hair dry so quickly?

  "Use this." Xiao Yi Mo silently handed her another towel from his hand, just now seeing how hard she was working, he went into the house to get a dry towel from his dresser.

  Su Xiaofan took over and rubbed it repeatedly for a few times. The texture is pretty good, this kind of towel's water absorption is absolutely super strong.

  But why is there such a good towel in this era, although the craftsmanship is different from that of the era when I lived, and the fluff on it is longer than what I used before. Is it handmade?

  After waiting for the silk to dry, Su Xiaofan dragged her tired body back to the room with Xiao Yimo to sleep.

  As soon as I got out of bed in the morning, I heard Ye Shi's voice: "Fang Er, come and hang up your clothes, I'll go see how your mother is doing."

  "Grandma helped us wash it, I could have just washed it myself." Su Xiaofan got up relatively late today because she was too tired from yesterday.

  "With nothing to do, I helped you with the laundry." Ye took off the apron tied around her waist and hung it on the firewood outside the kitchen before entering the house to see Jia.

  Su Xiaofan hurried over to hang up the clothes and thought that after hanging them up, she would also go take a look at her mother's situation.

  Three down, five up, the good clothes were hung out to dry. Su Xiaofan hastily walked into Ye Shi's room and saw Jia Shi lying on the bed, covering her stomach and rolling over: "Nanny, is mother going to give birth?"

  "It's not that fast, the pain has just begun, let me calculate the time of the contractions, if they get closer and closer, I'll go ask for a midwife." Ye Shi sat on Jia Shi's bedside, asking: "Zhiyan, do you want to eat some breakfast?"

  "No... mother, I'll eat later." Mrs. Jia replied weakly, suppressing her pain.

  "Alright, Fang'er, you take the young master to eat first. Nanny cooked some porridge this morning and heated up last night's leftovers." Ye Shi was worried, as Zhiyan had only experienced a brief abdominal pain the previous night before it subsided, but now the pain had returned after a while, which made her worry that if the contractions were too far apart, it would be even harder for her to give birth smoothly.

  Like others, as soon as it starts hurting a lot, it will come out quickly.

  "Alright, has Grandma eaten yet?" Su Xiaofan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Madam Jia before turning to look at Ye Shi.

  She doesn't understand childbirth, and staying here won't be of any help, she might even cause trouble.

  "I'll eat with your mother in a while." Ye's voice was low and heavy with worry.

  "Good." Su Xiao Fan returned to the house, called Xiao Yi Mo up, then turned around and entered the kitchen. After washing up, she carried a basin of water for washing her face and rinsing her mouth, prepared for Xiao Yi Mo, into the room.

  As he entered, Xiao Yimeng had already dressed in a plain white robe with no embroidery, which made his eyebrows and eyes even more picturesque. Su Xiaofan couldn't help but wonder what kind of demon this guy would become when he grew up.

  "I'll go get dinner ready, baby can wash her face and rinse her mouth by herself." Su Xiaofan put down the basin in her hand and turned to walk out.

  Xiao Yi Mo's ink marks appeared when Su Xiao Fan had already finished dinner.

  "How come you're moving so slowly? Can't you do it yourself? Do I need to help you wash your face tomorrow?" Su Xiaofan put down her chopsticks, suppressing the urge to get up and hug him onto the stool. She sat in her seat, watching as he slowly climbed onto the stool and began eating his breakfast at a leisurely pace.

  Until he finished breakfast, seeing Su Xiaofan still staring at him, Xiao Yimiao finally put down his chopsticks, gave her a white eye, and replied: "Don't treat me as a fool."

  Su Xiaofan smiled ambiguously and took away the bowl and chopsticks to wash them.

  Xiao Fan.

  Hearing the cry outside, Su Xiaofan wiped off the water stains on her hands before walking out of the kitchen and looking at Yu Xiaoxi who was running quickly towards her, asking: "What's wrong? Run slower, falling down is very painful."

  "Haha, underestimated me, did you? I'm a mountain girl who's never fallen down. " Yu Xiaoxi proudly raised an eyebrow, born and raised in the mountains, she may not have other skills, but her mountaineering and running abilities were top-notch.

  "Alright then." Su Xiaofan smiled and asked: "Looking for me for something?"

  "Ah, Su Bing and the boss brought a message saying that they want you to design a signature dish for them. Then, find some time to teach the head chef in the store. In return, they will give you a sum of money." Yu Xiaoxi was overjoyed, thinking that with this skill, Xiao Fan would have a secure future and never have to worry about food or clothing again.

  Su Xiaofan nodded and replied: "Alright, I know. I'll think about it and tell you when I've made up my mind, but it might take a few days. My mother seems to be going into labor."

  Yu Xiaoxi looked inside and asked: "Has the midwife been invited?"

  "Not yet, maybe it's not time to give birth." Su Xiaofan felt like running away, remembering the time she accompanied a friend to the hospital for a cesarean section and heard that pig-like wail, which scared her into never wanting to have children.

  "I'll play around here for a while, and if you need to find a midwife, I can help you run errands." Yu Xiaoxi stepped inside, having experienced it before when her sister gave birth, and understanding some things, at least more than the inexperienced Xiao Fan.

  "Little treasure, do you want to go out and play today?" Su Xiao Fan saw Xiao Yi Mo listlessly playing with the four little rabbits in the corner, worried that he might accidentally kill them while playing, also didn't know why he especially liked the black one, and disliked the other three grey ones.

  Xiao Yi Mo gave her a faintly stern look: "No way, if you're staying home, then I'll stay home too."

  Su Xiaofan smiled slightly speechlessly: "Okay, you wait a moment, I'll go ask Grandma, if it's nothing we'll go to the mountain to get some rabbit grass back."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Yimao couldn't help but stare at the three grey rabbits in the grass nest.

  Su Xiaofan went out with Yu Xiaoxi shortly after entering the house.

  "Is she going too?" Xiao Yimiao stood up, patted his small hands a few times, and finally put down the black little rabbit, not knowing if he had gotten any rabbit hair on him.
