Chapter 59: Wanting to Do Something?
On the crowded street, Su Xiaofan quietly walked with his small hand holding onto him.
"Hey, little baby, why did you suddenly change your mind again? Didn't you say you wanted to live with me?"
Su Xiaofan had originally planned to wait for him to speak up himself, but in the end, he still couldn't hold it in and asked out loud.
"We've arrived, let's go buy some medicine." Xiao Yi Mo stopped in front of a pharmacy. Lately, Su Xiao Xuan had been crying all night, she must be itchy. Although he didn't have a good impression of the baby, listening to her cry for so long still made him feel somewhat worried.
"Uh-huh, wait for me a moment." Su Xiao Fan hooked his lips and smiled, almost forgetting the thing himself, luckily he still remembered.
After returning home, Su Xiaofan handed over the medicine she had bought to Madam Jia.
"Things are a bit better today, but Fan Er is still squandering money." Madam Ji rebuked her with a stern glance.
"Where's the improvement? I see it's still all red and swollen, and recently at night my brother has been crying even more miserably. How can we not apply some medicine?" Su Xiaofan just glanced over with a faint expression, but felt a pang in her heart. Such a small child, even if they're itching unbearably, they can't express it, they can only cry nonstop, how pitiful.
Mrs. Jia shook her head: "These kids are all like this, when you were little in the summer, they often did this too, and it's normal for kids to cry and make a fuss."
Su Xiaofan rolled up her sleeves, and the feeling of walking back under the scorching sun was really terrible. She really wanted to jump into the well water and splash around: "I've bought all these things back, mother can use them first, although not many, I still have some spare silver coins left. It won't be long before our wine shop opens, and things will slowly get better. Mother and grandmother don't need to worry."
"This newly opened wine shop, whether the business is good or bad, we won't mention it for now. After all, it was opened with the silver of Su Bing and his two friends, how can they take out the profits as soon as they have them? Ye Shi took over the package of medicine powder, carefully spreading it onto Su Xiao Xuan's forehead."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm not planning to take out the money earned from selling wine. I'll put those chickens and ducks I raised into the wine shop to sell, that way the money can be taken out." Just thinking about going back to that coop to catch chickens made Su Xiaofan's head ache, last time Xiao Xi caught two chickens and was drenched in sweat, it looked like she was suffering from heatstroke.
"But it's still very small, can you sell a few silvers?" Ye Shi wiped off the medicinal powder and put it away.
Su Xiaofan smiled slyly: "You guys don't understand, it's not about how much silver it can sell for, but rather it's determined by the good or bad taste, not by its size."
Ye and Jia exchanged a glance after hearing the words, then smiled relievedly. Anyway, those chickens and ducks were hers to raise, so let her do whatever she wanted with them.
"Alright, I'm going back to my room." Su Xiao Fan was still in a hurry to ask Xiao Yi Mo about the reason earlier, and hadn't gotten an answer on the way here.
As soon as Su Xiaofan walked into her own room, she reached out to take off her outerwear.
"Stop." Xiao Yi Mo, who was originally lying flat on the bed, suddenly sat up with a "thud", staring at her hands that were about to untie his belt.
"Alright, you tell me the reason and I'll stop." Su Xiao Fan stopped her actions and smiled as she looked over.
"You're so afraid of the heat, how can you bear to live in that sweltering attic?" Xiao Yimeng was speechless. Although he hadn't explicitly said it, he still thought she could figure out the reason for her sweating all along the way.
Su Xiaofan suddenly remembered that when he went to the Su's house, he only stayed for a short while, but when he came down, he was already sweating profusely. Such a place must be unbearable at night. Although it was hot during the day at home, once night fell, gentle breezes would blow from time to time, dispersing the stifling heat of the whole day.
This is perhaps the difference between cities and rural areas.
"Alright, I'll come back every day then. But the journey is so far, if I have to make a round trip every day...” Su Xiaofan thought that every time they went out, Little Treasure walked faster than her, and she didn't want to think about whether he would get too tired for now, as she herself wouldn't be able to take it either.
"Exercise more and you'll get used to it after a long time." Xiao Yimeng's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze falling on the pair of hands at her waist, feeling a bad premonition.
"Ah, right! Once I sell some silver, I'll buy a small fur-lined stove and bring it back. How about that?" Su Xiaofan excitedly walked to the bedside and sat down. Although this small fur-lined stove wasn't fast, it was still better than walking herself.
Xiao Yi Mo lazily gave her a white eye: "I'm not riding a donkey."
Su Xiaofan imagined the scene in her mind, a little donkey with a soft and tender baby sitting on it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud by herself.
Xiao Yimao's eyebrows jumped slightly, and she vaguely felt that what was going on in her mind at this moment was definitely not a good thing.
"Well then, I'll just tell them and let them open their own wine shop." Su Xiaofan didn't want to spend one or two hours every day practicing his footwork no matter what.
"Do you think you can get through to them?" Xiao Yimeng watched her sit down, seemingly having given up on the idea of untying his belt, and only then did he relax and lie back down, picking up a nearby fan and slowly fanning himself.
"This is indeed an opportunity, once the business picks up, we can try to renovate the wine house and come up with more delicious dishes to sell." Su Xiaofan thought that raising chickens and ducks was not bad either, but after all, being a chef was her main profession.
Xiao Yimeng closed her eyes and listened silently. She was really looking forward to the delicious dishes he mentioned.
Recently I've started having some cravings for the food she makes.
"Wow, so comfortable." Su Xiaofan undid her belt and slightly slid down the outer garment by half.
Comfortable?
Xiao Yi Mo's eyes fluttered open in confusion, and she gazed over at him with a slanted glance. Then, she quickly sprang up and covered her body, which had already exposed more than half of her back, with the thin bed sheet.
"Little treasure, what are you doing? It's finally cooling down a bit." Su Xiaofan turned around with a tangled expression and glared at him.
"It's not decent for a woman to undress in front of a man." Xiao Yimao stared back at her without backing down, although he currently looked like a child, but he was still a male after all.
"What's wrong with taking off your clothes in front of your husband?" Su Xiaofan remembered that he often boasted about being her childhood sweetheart, and since they were going to get married eventually, what did it matter? Besides, he was still so young.
Xiao Yi Mo's lips curved up in a sly smile: "I'm telling you, even if I'm small, I'm still a guy, who knows what I might do to you, aren't you afraid?"
Su Xiaofan turned around, staring very seriously at the smile on his lips, and suddenly smiled: "Hmmm, what does little treasure want to do to sister? Come tell sister."
“……”
Xiao Yi Mo silently stared at her, then leaned against the wall. The warmth of the wall made him inexplicably feel a bit restless. Damn it, even if he had shrunk down to a child's size, why couldn't his mind have also been reduced back? That way, he wouldn't have to endure this mental and physical torment every day.
