Chapter 31: Harvest Wheat Part 2 (2) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

Qin-shi glanced at him with a smile on her face and said in a low voice: “You don’t have to be slick. You’re not afraid of being heard by children and laughing at you. Hmph, the daughter doesn’t like her father? Ah Wan made you several pairs of shoes, but never heard her talk about making them for me!” As for that son, he had only become more stable in the past two years, and she was more mad with him when he was a child!

Shu Maoting couldn’t find anything to say immediately. Every time Ah Wan made shoes for him, his wife would secretly pour sour water on him. She was right. Since she wanted it, she had to wait for Ah Wan to take the initiative to make shoes for her...

Afraid his wife would continue to entangle on this topic, Shu Maoting looked sadly at his little daughter who was bending over to pick wheat ears and went back to work honestly.

With motivation, Shu Lan quickly picked the wheat ears behind several people.

She poured the wheat ears into the rattan basket. She looked up and saw they were far from the field. She turned her head and thought about it. She moved to the ridge that had not been moved, recalled Qin-shi’s action of pulling wheat, and tried to pull it up by herself.

Pulling it hard, it didn’t move, and then with more force, her hands hurt, and the wheat seedlings were still growing firmly in the ground, only the outermost one was pulled out by her, but it was still cut off in half.

Shu Lan bit her lip angrily. When she looked down, her palms turned red!

Such a handful made her palms ache, how hard it was for her parents!

Shu Lan stood on the ground in frustration. She suddenly felt like she was useless. She couldn’t even pull out the wheat.

At this time, Shu Wan suddenly got up and waved from a distance from the field: “Ah Lan, bring the kettle over, your older sister is thirsty!”

“Oh...” Shu Lan replied listlessly, found the stoneware kettle placed next to the basket, and walked towards the field.

Xiao Lang and Shu Wan both stopped, each sitting in the shadow of a wheat bundle, waiting for Shu Lan to bring water.

“Here, here you are.” Shu Lan handed the kettle to Shu Wan, turned her head, and was about to go back.

Shu Wan grabbed her hand and pulled the person back. She handed the kettle to Xiao Lang before asking her with a smile: “Why are you looking downcast? Do you think picking wheat ears is too tiring? Wait for me, I’ll help you pick later.” Because she was sitting, she could only raise her head to look at Shu Lan. A fine layer of sweat floated on both sides of the bridge of her pretty nose, and even pea-sized beads of sweat slipped down from her temples.

Shu Lan pouted, looking like she wanted to cry but didn’t want to cry. She lowered her head and took out her little handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Shu Wan: “Older sister, are you tired? I’m stupid, I can’t do anything, I can’t even pull wheat...” Having said that, she couldn’t say anymore because she couldn’t control the crystal tears.

Shu Wan was taken aback. She was just okay, why did she suddenly cry?

After thinking about Shu Lan’s words, Shu Wan seemed to have guessed something. She grabbed her younger sister’s hand and looked at it. She couldn’t help but smile: “Silly girl, you are only 10 years old, how can you pull wheat? It’ll take another two years before you have the strength. Your older sister can pull wheat when she was 12!”

Shu Lan’s eyes brighten up. Her tears stopped suddenly, and she asked uncertainty: “Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, ask Ah Lang!” Shu Wan didn’t blink.

Shu Lan had no choice but to look at Xiao Lang, only to see that he was holding a kettle in one hand and drinking water with his head raised. Crystal water strings flowed out from the thin entrance of the kettle, and all fell into his open mouth without spilling a single drop. His throat kept rolling. His wheat-colored side face was surprisingly handsome, especially the thin and tight facial lines, which were much better than Zhu Yuanbao’s double chin.

It had been a long time since Shu Lan dared to take a serious look at Xiao Lang’s appearance. Every time they met, as long as she met his deep eyes, she would immediately lower her head in fear. The only impression of his appearance was that he was very dark.

After Xiao Lang finished drinking water over there, he saw Shu Lan staring at him with good eyes. There was an undisguised surprise in her eyes, just like when she saw the parrot, she couldn’t help feeling a little proud, secretly delighted, and furious. The two of them have been together for so many years, could it be she noticed that he looked very good? Much better than Cheng Qingran, the little white face (attractive young man (usually derog.)) and Zhu Yuanbao that fat pig!

Thinking of this, there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Shu Lan felt a chill on her body and immediately woke up. She pouted, not asking him how old Shu Wan was before she would pluck wheat. She turned her head and didn’t look at him.

In the absence of Zhu Yuanbao’s presence, Xiao Lang just liked to see Shu Lan’s beautiful face pouting.

“Ah Lan, come here. I’ll show you something good. You’ll like it when you see it!” He handed the water kettle to Shu Wan, grabbed Shu Lan, and dragged her to the wheat field in front of them.

Just as Shu Lan was about to shout, she saw her older sister nodding at her as if what Xiao Lang said was true!

But what good things could be found in wheat fields?

Shu Lan’s curiosity was hooked and obediently let Xiao Lang pull her there.

Xiao Lang took Shu Lan into the middle of a wheat seedling he deliberately left out. He squatted down, motioned Shu Lan to squat down beside him with his eyes, and then lifted the wheat seedlings in front of him, and looked at Shu Lan with a smile on the corner of his lip: “Look!”

Shu Lan turned her head curiously. When she saw the fluffy bird’s nest and a few small quail eggs inside, she turned her head to look at Xiao Lang in surprise: “This is a quail...”

Xiao Lang smiled lightly and quickly dropped a kiss on the red lips that were in front of him. His movements were as light as a touch of water. When Shu Lan widened her eyes in surprise, he had already retreated and asked in a low voice: “Do you like it?”

No one knew if he asked her if she liked those quail eggs or if she liked his closeness...

The author has something to say:

Ah Lang asked Ah Lan: Do you like me kissing you, do you like it, do you like it...
