Chapter 163: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 163: It's Late
She opened the door.
Xiao Cheng was standing outside the main door, hands behind his back, and when he turned around at the sound, there seemed to be a hint of worry and anxiety in his eyes.
Bai Lu doubted if she had seen it correctly because, after blinking, Xiao Cheng's eyes remained calm and composed.
As if the scene just now was an illusion.
But there was still a trace of anxiety.
Bai Lu walked out quickly with her clothes, "Let's go buy groceries first. We can wash the clothes when we come back. I just soaked them in water; I didn't plan to wash them now."
Seeing that her complexion had returned to normal and wasn't as pale as before, Xiao Cheng didn't ask further.
He nodded lightly and went to the kitchen to grab the basket.
Bai Lu put the clothes into the bathroom bucket, filled it with water, completely soaking the clothes.
Then she went out with Xiao Cheng.
They quickly bought their favorite vegetables and new shoes.
Xiao Wei, who had finished peeling the radishes, was now by the small river in the backyard, cutting grass and throwing it in to feed the fish.
Before Xiao Cheng and Xiao Da Zhuang went out, they had given away several batches of fish, including grass carp, crucian carp, and carp.
The small river had turned into a fish pond.
Xiao Wei squatted by the river, supporting his chin with both hands, staring intently at the big and small fish swimming in the river. Occasionally, they would pop their heads out to eat grass, leisurely blowing bubbles.
A sense of small disappointment arose in his heart.
Before Bai Lu moved in, Xiao Cheng often didn't come home, disappearing every three to five days.
Even when Xiao Cheng returned, he didn't pay any attention to Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei had gotten used to it, and there weren't too many expectations.
As long as Xiao Cheng came home, Xiao Wei was happy.
But now, Xiao Cheng treated Bai Lu very well, in a way Xiao Wei had never seen before. It was so good that he envied it, and uncontrollable expectations grew in his heart, followed by a sense of disappointment.
It seems he was too greedy.
Even big brother hadn't forgiven him yet, so how could he be so greedy, expecting so much?
Xiao Wei kicked off his shoes, sat by the river, and put his feet in the water. The teacher said cold water could keep people awake.
So he would wake up well.
"Xiao Wei."
It was that familiar gentle voice, the voice that big brother liked, and the voice he liked too.
Xiao Wei, who had just lowered his head, suddenly stopped and turned around. Under the drifting chestnut flower rain, that sweet and gentle smiling face leaned out of the open window.
Waving at him.
"Haven't you finished feeding the fish? Come back quickly, come to our room, there's a surprise for you~"
If he came late, would there be no surprise?
Xiao Wei knew Bai Lu wouldn't lie, so he picked up his small shoes and walked back. His steps were small but quick.
Soon, he arrived at the open door.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Bai Lu, hands behind her back, stared at the wet little feet in front of her, frowning.
Xiao Wei was stunned, curled his toes, and holding the shoes, honestly answered, "My feet aren't dry."
Bai Lu found a piece of unused cloth and spread it on the ground, "Quick, step on it to dry your feet."
Xiao Wei knew that both Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng liked cleanliness. The cement floor at home was cleaned thoroughly every day, not a single strand of hair could be seen.
He obediently said, "Okay," stepped onto the cloth, and turned and rubbed, wiping away the wet and dirty marks.
After cleaning, he raised his head, "Done."
Bai Lu smiled mysteriously, suddenly stretched out the hand hidden behind her back, and thrust it in front of the little guy.
"Quick, try to see if it fits."
Xiao Wei stared at the new shoes thrust in front of him, not too big or too small, just the right size for his feet. The shoes were neither too thin nor too thick, perfect for the current season.
Moreover, the style was very new and unique. He had never seen this style on his classmates, both in the upper and lower grades.
"Is this for me?"
Bai Lu looked at the little guy's eyes full of anticipation and joy, nodded with a smile, "Yes."
"But didn't we buy shoes before Qingming Festival?" Xiao Wei, happy
but also a little unbelievable, wondered if he could receive three pairs of new shoes in a year.
However, Bai Lu said, "That's different. The shoes before Qingming Festival were bought by me for you. Now, this pair..."
She deliberately left a suspense, not saying anything.
Xiao Wei instantly lifted his head, his gaze fixed on Bai Lu, clearly expressing his desire to know.
The desire was so obvious that his breath even lightened.
Bai Lu smiled and handed the shoes to him, "This new pair of shoes was bought by your big brother~"
"Your big brother personally selected them, paid for them, and bought them for you. Try them on quickly to see if they fit and if you like them."
"I like it!" Xiao Wei nodded vigorously, holding the shoes tightly.
He hadn't even tried them on yet, but just hearing that big brother had bought them made him like them. It was truly loving the house along with the crow.
Bai Lu had been worried that the little guy would ask where the shoes were bought, but he didn't seem to care at all.
As long as big brother bought them, it was enough.
Wearing the new shoes, he was so happy that he seemed to be able to fly.
