245 His Son (1)
Qin Canglan was not someone who would stare at a girl on the streets. However, Su Xiaoxiao’s figure was really eye-catching. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
Huh.
The little fatty.
He subconsciously took a second look.
Then he was stunned.
This little fat girl’s eyebrows… were actually very similar to those of his deceased wife.
To be honest, if they only looked a little similar, it would not be too unimaginable. However, Su Huayin was once a little fat girl.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
And this arrogant and world-weary tone…
Qin Canglan raised his head. Could he be dreaming again in broad daylight…
No, it was still different.
As he sized Su Xiaoxiao up, Su Xiaoxiao also observed him seriously.
Last night, Su Xiaoxiao barged into the Protector Duke’s Estate at night. The house was dark, and Qin Canglan was lying in the tent without a trace of light.
In addition, his aura when he was sleeping and when he was awake was completely different, so she did not immediately recognize Qin Canglan.
Qin Canglan didn’t recognize Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao was dressed like a Ninja Turtle last night. Her forehead was covered, and only her face was revealed.
More importantly, Qin Canglan had taken the medicine last night and had always thought that he was dreaming.
In Qin Canglan’s opinion, he missed Su Huayin too much, so he dreamed of her. When he saw a fat girl, he felt that she looked like her.
“Ahem, I’m looking for a child.”
Qin Canglan took the initiative to speak.
After saying that, he was quite puzzled. Why did he tell a little girl his whereabouts?
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh, me too.”
Wait.
Something was wrong.
As he was thinking, the sound of the zither in the backyard stopped.
Although Qin Canglan did not know how to play the zither, he felt that the sound of the zither today was a little different from playing cotton.
Soon, Dahu came out.
It was the servant in the courtyard who saw Qin Canglan and Su Xiaoxiao at the door and went in to report to the man. Dahu guessed that his mother was coming.
“Mother.”
He called out obediently.
Qin Canglan glared.
No kidding?
This little girl… was Dahu’s mother?
Had she reached the age of 15?
Su Xiaoxiao looked young, but she was already 16 years old.
“Big great-grandpa.”
Dahu turned around and called Qin Canglan again.
It was Su Xiaoxiao’s turn to be surprised.
Did Dahu know this person too?
Su Xiaoxiao had left early and returned late yesterday and had yet to exchange information with her family, so she did not know that Qin Canglan had sent Dahu home.
Dahu looked up and asked, “Mother, can I continue to play?”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you get the owner’s permission?”
“Yes!” Dahu nodded.
Su Xiaoxiao could tell that Dahu was very curious about the music in the courtyard. Instead of letting the little fellow come secretly, it was better to let him do it openly.
“Okay, Mom will pick you up later.”
Dahu bade the two of them farewell and entered happily.
The three little ones were children who were abnormally sensitive to danger. The fact that Dahu liked to come here meant that the master inside was not a bad person.
“Do you want to come home with me?” Su Xiaoxiao turned around and politely invited Qin Canglan.
She mainly wanted to know what had happened yesterday.
Qin Canglan was stunned. “Can, can I?”
Before Su Xiaoxiao could answer, he said, “Then I’ll accept it!”
It was so fast as if he was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would go back on her word.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the additional feed in the courtyard and said, “Ergou, did you buy new feed?”
Su Ergou had just finished repairing Erhu and Xiaohu’s slingshots when he replied, “I didn’t buy it.”
“Ahem, I brought it,” Qin Canglan said.
Su Ergou told her what happened yesterday.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I see.”
Qin Canglan sat on a small stool that was incompatible with his size. He looked around like a big and clumsy bear.
Strangely, he missed the young man from yesterday.
Father Su was not around, nor was Wei Ting. Wei Ting entered the palace, and Father Su was at the market.
Father Su discovered a market five miles away. The goods in that market were much cheaper than the things in the nearby market, but it closed quickly. The market was empty before noon.
Therefore, he, who had been used to lying in bed for ten thousand years, forced himself to wake up early. Before dawn, he carried his burden to shop for things.
In the countryside, if they wanted to eat vegetables, they could pick them from the fields. Although they did not farm, and only extorted… ahem, it would not cost much.
How was it like the capital? Three copper coins for a cabbage, two copper coins for a catty of radishes. The sweet potato leaves used to feed pigs in the countryside were even more expensive. They were actually five copper coins a catty.
