Chapter 159: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 159: Surprised by Favor
Xiao Cheng had probably just woken up, with eyes still bloodshot. His gaze fixed on Xiao Wei's hands as he clutched Bai Lu's thigh, invisible red knives flying out, cutting through the air.
Xiao Wei immediately withdrew his hand.
His small frame stiffened, tiny hands hanging by his side, clutching his own clothes tightly, not daring to move.
Certainly, he and Bai Lu must have spoken too loudly, waking up the big brother, and the big brother was indeed angry.
Bai Lu finally realized how terrifying it was to wake up the big shot and quickly went forward to help him to the dining area.
"I've prepared breakfast. There are noodles, porridge, and I also fried some scallion pancakes, cooked some side dishes. Come and eat, and then you can go back to sleep."
Xiao Cheng followed Bai Lu to the small table.
Xiao Wei went to get bowls and chopsticks, while Bai Lu brought back noodles and porridge. By the time Xiao Wei returned, the small table was empty.
"Where's your brother?"
"He went to wash his face."
Xiao Wei arranged the bowls and chopsticks, placing the scallion pancakes and side dishes on the table. He obediently sat down, waiting to eat.
Bai Lu divided the noodles into three portions and the scallion pancakes into three. Just as they sat down, Xiao Cheng returned.
Xiao Cheng, having finished washing up, his eyes were less red, and his gaze was clearer. The overwhelming hostility that had nowhere to go had also retracted, no longer resembling a fierce beast about to devour someone.
After a few days of not seeing each other, it felt like a long time. Even having a meal together became somewhat tense.
No one spoke, quietly eating breakfast.
Until Bai Lu found an extra scallion pancake in her bowl, she looked at Xiao Cheng abruptly, "I already have two."
One person, two scallion pancakes, just right.
Xiao Cheng said nothing, continuing to eat noodles. Bai Lu divided the scallion pancake into a small piece, one-fifth of it, keeping it for herself, and then gave the rest back to Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng frowned at her.
Bai Lu quickly said, "Wei and I eat scallion pancakes at home every day. We can't finish so many."
Xiao Wei was about to give Bai Lu one of his scallion pancakes, but upon hearing her words, he paused.
With that, Bai Lu quickly picked up her bowl, "Eat properly, don't give me any more. I'm full. It's just two scallion pancakes; you guys can finish them."
Considering that Bai Lu's bowl had been against her face the entire time, and nothing could go in, it wasn't until she finished eating that she put it down.
In the end, the scallion pancakes had to return to their respective owners' stomachs, devoured by the big and small bald heads.
After breakfast, Xiao Wei, as usual, washed the dishes and then went to the backyard to feed the mother hen and chicks.
Unlike the previous days, his small steps were more lively and excited. Happily sharing with the mother hen and chicks, he brought back several tender large leaves.
The little chicks "cheeped" excitedly, flocking around their caregivers, pecking at their feet after each bite of the leaves.
The joy was vividly expressed.
Xiao Cheng didn't go back to sleep. Instead, he and Bai Lu roasted chestnuts. Bai Lu felt a bit surprised by the favor.
"Aren't you going back to sleep? Aren't you tired?"
"Not tired."
Seeing that Bai Lu wanted to say something else, Xiao Cheng explained, "I slept on the way back."
?
After so many trips, how long could he sleep?
Bai Lu wanted to take over the activity in Xiao Cheng's hands, asking him to go back to sleep, but Xiao Cheng poured the roasted chestnuts into a basket under the stove, and when it was full, he carried it outside on his own.
After finishing, he came back to continue roasting chestnuts.
He roasted them manually, while the other three chestnut roasting machines powered by electricity were in Bai Lu's hands.
Bai Lu stared at them, realizing they only needed sugar syrup at regular intervals and didn't require manual flipping, unlike the tiring days before.
With some free time, her mind started to wander, thinking about other things.
"You're moving..."
Xiao Cheng slightly turned his head, holding a spatula in his hand. His sleeve was rolled up, revealing well-defined and powerful forearm muscles.
Bai Lu's words swirled in her eyes, and when she spoke, it became, "Don't you have anything to do?"
"Nothing."
Bai Lu: "..."
Wasn't he going to open an electronics store?
Didn't he thoroughly inquire about the electronics market conditions on this side through Wang Hao?
How could there be nothing?
"Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang will be back with the goods tomorrow."
As if Xiao Cheng knew what Bai Lu was thinking, one sentence dispelled all her doubts.
Bai Lu suddenly realized, "So, you came back before they did?"
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips slightly, his tone indifferent, "They're not three-year-old kids."
Look at the way he said it... quite reasonable!
In a second, Bai Lu was amused, and the tension that had arisen from the reunion vanished instantly.
"So, you don't need to check the goods?"
"I'll check them before loading."
Xiao Cheng actually only checked seventy percent. The remaining thirty percent, just as Bai Lu had mentioned on the phone earlier, he observed using his telepathic abilities.
Bai Lu didn't know, thinking he had checked everything thoroughly. "Are Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang coming back by boat?"
Electronics on a boat wasn't a good idea. If they encountered a strong wind and a wave splashed over, it would be difficult to fix a short circuit.
Xiao Cheng had considered this issue. Therefore, instead of using a boat, the electronics were transported by "goods truck."
Land transportation was more troublesome, but he had already left enough money for Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang to take care of it.
Bai Lu could also figure this out. Xiao Cheng always thought things through carefully, so he wouldn't make mistakes in these minor matters.
With that in mind, she asked, "Is the transportation arranged by the manufacturer?"
"No."
Bai Lu looked puzzled and turned her head. Xiao Cheng also happened to look at her. Just as he was about to say something, someone came in from outside.
"Bai Lu."
"Bai Lu, come out quickly. I have something important to tell you. Today, I'm going to sell more chestnuts."
Due to increased sales channels, Bai Lu adjusted her procurement time again, arriving half an hour earlier than before, especially for Zhang Huiru and her husband, Meng Youliang.
With more sales, Bai Lu's business was doing well. Moving her procurement time earlier meant finishing selling chestnuts earlier. After that, she had no idea what to do.
Having strolled around Dashizhen every day, she had already bought all kinds of colorful clothes and shoes, and finally thought
about making money properly. Otherwise, how could she catch the attention of her big brother, Xiao Cheng?
Now, as soon as she saw Bai Lu respond and come out from the kitchen, Wang Cuihua immediately ran up to ask for chestnuts.
"Bai Lu, I want..."
"big brother Xiao Cheng!"
Bai Lu was instantly forgotten. The previously spirited Wang Cuihua transformed into a joyful flower, running to Xiao Cheng, who had just come out from behind.
Blossoming with a smile like chrysanthemums, she said, "big brother Xiao Cheng, didn't you go on a long journey? Why did you come back so soon?"
Xiao Cheng placed a full basket of freshly roasted chestnuts on the ground, casually replying, "Hmm."
Wang Cuihua noticed that Xiao Cheng hadn't looked at her from beginning to end, and it must be because she wasn't wearing a beautiful dress today.
Without saying a word, she turned around and ran back home.
Bai Lu thought that Wang Cuihua had finally been scared away by Xiao Cheng's indifferent and cold attitude.
Surprised, she asked, "Are you not taking chestnuts and leaving?"
"I'll come back for them later."
