Chapter Fourteen Protecting the Daughter-in-law
"My eldest brother fell in love with someone, and the other person's only request was for a bicycle. I'm borrowing your ticket, and I'll return it to you after a while."
She could buy it directly from the space, but there was no way to explain the ticket, so it was better to avoid exposure as much as possible and use it sparingly.
"Don't be so polite with me." Shen Kang happily took out the bicycle ticket and handed it to her.
"Thank you, brother." Lin Xi took it with a smile, then carefully put it into his pocket and put it away.
After the two bought the fabric, they walked to the place where ready-made clothes were sold. Shen Kang pointed at a white dress with small floral flowers: "Do you like that one?"
Lin Xi looked down at the coarse clothes she was wearing, hesitated for a moment and shook her head in refusal: "The color is too light, and it's not convenient to work in a skirt."
Although she gave her reasons, she didn't say she didn't like it.
Shen Kang directly asked the salesperson to get the size that suited Lin Xi.
"Comrade, your wife has really good taste. This skirt is produced in the sea market. There are only a few in total, and it only costs 18 yuan."
Lin Xi did not defend, but agreed with a serious face: "My brother has always been very good to me."
Seeing the satisfied smile on her face, Shen Kang felt that this child would be easy to support in the future.
Not only did she eat her favorite food, but she also bought her favorite skirt. Lin Xi was in a good mood, but she got carried away for a moment and suddenly lost her footing when going down the stairs.
Seeing that she was about to roll down the stairs, she screamed in fright.
Shen Kang reacted very quickly. With one long arm, he hugged her directly.
Lin Xi put her hands on his chest and could clearly feel his bulging chest muscles through a thin layer of shirt material.
The muscles are firm and tight, full of strength.
Shen Kang held her armpits with both hands and helped her upright: "Are you okay? Are you sprained your foot?"
Lin Xi shook his head.
Seeing that she was okay, Shen Kang continued to walk downstairs. But as the distance between the two grew wider, Shen Kang's irritability hit his heart again.
The two bought two more cigarettes, two bottles of liquor, malted milk and cans on the first floor, making up a total of four gifts.
When preparing to go back, Lin Xi ran to the candy counter again.
There are very few types of candies in small counties, and the most common ones are orange fruit candies.
But what Lin Xi didn't expect was that she actually saw the special White Rabbit toffee, which did not require a ticket.
She hurriedly asked the salesperson to help weigh a pound.
Shen Kang wanted to pay, but Lin Xi stopped him.
"I bought this for Shen Xiaofei's child. I have to pay for it in person." He took out one dollar and fifty cents and handed it to the salesperson.
The two of them bought a lot of things in large and small packages. When they got home, Fan Xiumei was already busy preparing dinner.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xi put down her things and hurried over to help.
Shen Kang wanted to go home first, greeted the two of them and left.
Seeing him walking away, Fan Xiumei approached her daughter and asked, "How does that kid Shen Kang treat you?"
Lin Xi said without thinking: "Mom, brother is very good to me." Then she briefly told what happened in the town.
Thinking of something, she took out the bicycle ticket again: "By the way, Mom, this is the bicycle ticket I borrowed from Brother Chao. Sister Zhaodi is worried. I will find a way to return it to him after a while."
A bicycle ticket was not easy to get, but Shen Kang gave it to his daughter without saying anything, which just showed that the child liked Lin Xi.
At first, I felt that he was old and had a child, and I was always reluctant. But now it seems that the decision of the child's father is the right one.
"The only flaw is that he has a child before him, and you used to have to be his stepmother."
"It's nothing like stepmother."
In Lin Xi's view, this is not only not a problem, but a gift from God.
Having Shen Xiaofei can completely make up for her inability to have children.
Shen Kang had no idea what the mother and daughter were thinking. As soon as he returned home, he saw his son and two nephews playing in the yard with mud on their face and body.
"Xiao Fei." He called out. When the three children saw him coming back, they casually wiped it on their bodies and immediately gathered around.
"dad."
"Uncle Third, did you go to town to buy something delicious?"
Shen Kang propped up the car and looked at the three clay monkeys raising the candies in their hands: "White Rabbit toffee, you Aunt Lin bought it. Go and wash it carefully. I will check it later. If it is not clean, don't eat it." "
Shen Xiaohang and Shen Xiaoyang cheered and ran towards the water basin in the yard to dry themselves.
Shen Xiaofei, however, kept his head down and did not move.
"Why don't you go?"
"I don't like that woman. I won't eat what she buys."
Even so, Shen Xiaofei secretly swallowed his saliva when looking at the tempting White Rabbit toffee.
"Quite ambitious."
"Dad, I like Aunt Xiaocui. Please let her be my stepmother. Auntie said that if she becomes my stepmother, she will promise to be good to me and buy me meat every day."
Shen Kang was delighted: "Are you really promising? The sugar-coated bullets she promised you fell so easily?"
Shen Xiaofei frowned, obviously lacking confidence: "I don't have any."
"Actually, I didn't agree to buy this candy."
Shen Xiaofei raised his head, blinked his black grape-like eyes and asked, "Then why did you buy it again?"
Shen Kang pretended to sigh helplessly: "You, Aunt Lin, insist, but it's a pity that she praised you a lot of good things to me."
No one has ever praised me for growing so big. Shen Xiaofei immediately asked curiously: "What are you praising me for?"
Shen Kang turned around and walked into the house: "I will take you to his house later, you can ask yourself."
Thinking of the woman's smile, Shen Xiaofei remained silent again.
"Why, you don't dare to go?"
"Who says I don't dare?" Shen Xiaofei, who was still hesitating, immediately puffed up his chest, turned around and ran to the basin, where he followed his two brothers to clean up.
Not long after, Shen Kang distributed the candy to the three children and changed his son into clean clothes. When the father and son left, they happened to meet Shen Hongshan and the others returning from work.
When they learned that their son was going to live with his prospective father-in-law, the couple didn't say anything.
"If the child is making trouble, why don't you stay home?" Shen's mother, Wang Xiuqin, said.
Hearing what grandma said, Shen Xiaofei held Shen Kang's hand tightly and hid behind him.
Dad finally came back and he didn't want to be separated from him.
"It's okay, Mom, it's Grandma Xiaofei's house over there, so identify the door in advance."
"Third brother, you have such a big heart. How can your own grandma be the same as your step-grandma? It's strange that the Lin family would be happy with such a big son, Chu Na. I would say it's better not to take him with you." Shen Bin's daughter-in-law, Zhou Shuang, was kind-hearted. Advise.
Sure enough, Shen Xiaofei held Shen Kang's hand and let go.
Shen Kang bent down and picked up his son: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Lin Xi and his family are doing well."
