CH 114

However, that night, Xu Fan refused to take his medicine again because it was too bitter. He didn’t escape the fate of having the medicine poured into his mouth by Xu Zhao and Mother Xu. Afterwards, he was so mad that he angrily turned to face the wall, causing Xu Zhao and Mother Xu not know if they should laugh or cry.

Mother Xu looked at Xu Zhao with a smile.

Xu Zhao told Mother Xu that she should go to sleep first, then sat on the stool and called out, “Xu Fan.”

Xiao Xu’s small chubby face still faced the wall, and he didn’t say anything.

Xu Zhao called out again, “Xu Fan.”

Xu Fan tilted his small face to the side.

Xu Zhao laughed and asked, “Are you still coming to the county town on the sixth?”

Xu Fan still stayed silent.

Xu Zhao said, “There’s pig trotters, lamb, and rice crispy treats.”

Xu Fan turned his head and said, “I want to eat.”

Xu Zhao apologetically said, “But you didn’t take your medicine nicely, so you can’t go.”

Xu Fan turned his body toward Xu Zhao and said, “I took my medicine!”

“You took it while crying.”

“I-I-I took it while crying.”

So honest.

Xu Zhao smiled and asked, “Then can you say that you can still eat pig trotters?”

Xu Fan said without hesitation, “Yes.”

“Really?” Xu Zhao asked.

“…No.”

“Then what should we do?”

Xu Fan flattened his small lips.

Xu Zhao immediately said, “Crying won’t work. This matter is originally your fault. You promised to be good and take your medicine, but you cried and caused trouble. And you still think you can cry?”

Xu Zhao didn’t dislike Xu Youcheng as much as before, but he didn’t like him either. In any case, everyone minded their own businesses. It was fine as long as he lived his own life. And so, he moved the planting of the greenhouse fruits ahead of schedule.

However, before he could plant the greenhouse fruits, Xu Zhao had to take Xu Fan and Cui Dingchen to have a meal and watch a movie. Therefore, on the morning of the sixth, Xu Zhao specially cleaned himself up and cleaned up Xu Fan as well, even rubbing fragrance on him.

Xu Fan proudly hugged Father Xu and asked, “Grandpa, do I look good?”

Father Xu laughed and said, “Very good, very good.”

Xu Fan happily ran to Xu Zhao to show off. “Daddy, Grandpa said I look good. I-I’m wearing my new clothes together and have on fragrance.”

Xu Zhao smiled and replied, “Mn. We should head out.”

“Let’s go!”

It was still cold on the sixth. Xu Fan specially put on the Lei Feng hat for Xu Zhao and tied a scarf around his neck, dressing him all the way up. The little guy looked very good. He took Xu Zhao’s hand, and walked through the village in high spirits, greeting people when he saw them.

The villagers greeted Xu Fan very warmly, “Sanwa, you look very good today.”

Xu Fan was thick-skinned, so he replied, “I’m very good looking.”

“Where are you going all dressed up today?”

“To watch a movie!”

“Where are you going to watch the movie?”

“The county town. We’re going to watch a military movie!”

“Take me to watch it with you.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“You need a movie ticket. You don’t have. So you can’t come.”
