Chapter 156 Theft
The two of them made a fuss in the house for a while, and then they heard Qu Xiu shouting outside: "Brother Xu! The hot water is ready!"
Xu Shu then reluctantly put Mu Jinghua down, and seeing Mu Jinghua's blushing face, he chuckled and said, "Take a bath?"
Mu Jinghua walked out hand and foot together.
After walking two steps, he looked back at Xu Shu and said pitifully, "Can you please not put the flowers away?"
Xu Shu teased him deliberately: "If you don't put it away, where will you sleep?"
When asked this, Mu Jinghua was also troubled.
I don’t know how many trees Xu Shu planted, but there are so many flowers in bloom. Not only are the ground and the table covered with flowers, but even the bed and the beauty couch are covered with flowers.
So it has a shocking effect at first glance.
Just like this, I definitely won’t be able to sleep.
Mu Jinghua thought about it, clapped his hands and said, "Sleep with you!"
Xu Shu smiled dotingly: "Why, the real purpose is revealed?"
Mu Jinghua blinked, not quite understanding what Xu Shu meant, but still shook his hand coquettishly.
Xu Shu, however, became serious: "No, you can't do that. Go take a shower. I'll help you pick up the flowers and spread them on the grass outside. Are you satisfied?"
Mu Jinghua was not satisfied, he wanted to sleep with Xu Shu.
But Xu Shu didn't allow him to question, urging him: "That's it, go take a shower, have you got your change of clothes?"
I forgot about this too.
Mu Jinghua smiled embarrassedly and went to look for clothes in the closet that Xu Shu mentioned.
As soon as I opened the cabinet door, I felt a little confused again.
The clothes were hung neatly, filling up the closet, but in an orderly manner and clearly visible at a glance.
There was a partition under the cabinet where his underwear was placed, all neatly folded, and on the partition below that was his shoes.
These are all new, and I don’t know when Xu Shu bought them.
When Xu Shu saw him stunned, he knew that he must like it.
Although the little boy in this world looks and behaves more like a boy, everyone loves beauty. Moreover, little Mu Jin is still young and must not have a strong resistance to such things.
When Xu Hua was ten years old, her clothes could fill an entire room.
He pointed to the small drawer under the partition and said, "Open it and take a look."
Mu Jinghua followed his instructions and opened it. Seeing the neatly arranged hairpins, jade pendants, and even gold bracelets, she was flattered: "Is this... for me?"
Xu Shu nodded. These were all good stuff he took out of his backpack. Even a grown man like him couldn't carry them all.
Of course I keep it for my wife.
Mu Jinghua said, "Isn't it very expensive?"
"Not expensive." Xu Shuxia said, "It's not that bandits are rampant recently and business in town is getting harder and harder. These things only cost fifty taels in total."
"Fifty taels?" Mu Jinghua's eyes widened. "That's also very expensive."
Xu Shu didn't bother to argue with him about this matter. The kid was obviously used to a hard life and felt it was a pity to spend money. This was a bad idea.
After all, he has plenty of money.
"Go take a shower first." Xu Shu picked out two pieces of clothes for him and urged him to hurry up, "Otherwise the water will be cold soon."
Mu Jinghua wanted to say something else when he heard Qu Xiu urging him from outside: "Junior brother, why don't you come? It will be cold soon. I don't care about you anymore."
Mu Jinghua felt embarrassed to keep his senior brother waiting any longer, so he left reluctantly in the end.
Xu Shu shrugged helplessly and began to help him clean up the house.
Anyway, this hectic day is finally over.
Before going to bed, Mu Jinghua was planning to act a little coquettishly and ask Xu Shu to accompany him.
As soon as he touched the soft bed, he felt so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Xu Shu was watching him from the side and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you acting like a child? You don't even know you're sleepy? Why are you holding on?"
Seeing that Mu Jinghua didn't respond, perhaps he had fallen asleep, Xu Shu lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead. He lowered his voice and said, "Little Mujin, I won't leave you."
Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu say this in a daze, and a smile broke out on his face.
When she realized she was laughing, she was afraid of being seen by Xu Shu, so she subconsciously pulled the quilt around her to cover it up a little.
Then he froze, and his mind became clear for a moment.
Mu Jinghua moved his body at a loss, but suddenly discovered a new world: the bed was really soft.
It feels like sleeping on thick cotton, and the whole body is wrapped in warmth and softness.
Even his parents' bed didn't feel so soft, and Mu Jinghua's heart trembled.
It was like being held in Xu Shu's arms...
The next day, Xu Shu got up earlier than Mu Jinghua. He smiled proudly, thinking that it was a wise choice for the boss of Xunbu Shop to make Mu Jinghua's mattress thicker.
Otherwise, how could this child stay healthy if he goes to bed late and gets up early every day?
Xu Shu first went to the kitchen to boil water, cooked ten eggs, and made a pot of porridge, then began to run around the house.
After the third round, the eggs and porridge were cooked. Xu Shu washed his face and started to serve the porridge.
When he was carrying eggs and porridge towards the main courtyard, Mu Jinghua was running over in a hurry.
Seeing him stumbling, Xu Shu first took a step to the side to avoid spilling the porridge, then smiled and said, "Little lazy cat, are you willing to get up?"
Mu Jinghua was a little depressed and just asked, "Where is the master?"
"I went to discuss something with the village chief." Xu Shutong explained to him, "Do you remember the field I have? I was planning to plant some medicinal herbs, but we don't have enough people and no experience in farming, so I'll trouble your master to make the trip."
"After all, he has a good relationship with Shen Guang."
Seeing Mu Jinghua nodded, Xu Shu asked again: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Mu Jinghua nodded slowly.
“Will three eggs be enough to fill you up?”
Mu Jinghua nodded again.
"Then...would you like to go see the pottery kiln later?"
Mu Jinghua shook his head slightly.
"Are you not feeling well?" Xu Shu put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked with a frown.
Mu Jinghua also put down his chopsticks and shook his head.
Xu Shu was touched by his imitating behavior, so he tapped the boy's head with his finger and asked with a smile: "Why do you look so depressed? Don't you like your new room?"
Mu Jinghua was a little embarrassed: "I lost the crossbow you gave me."
Xu Shu exclaimed, then comforted him: "It's okay, let Xiao Ran make another one for you, or, if you like, I will learn how to make one for you myself."
Mu Jinghua still looked guilty. In fact, after hearing Xu Shu's generous forgiveness, he became even more uneasy and his eyes were red.
"Don't cry, it's just a small thing." Xu Shu was a little helpless and touched his hair gently.
Mu Jinghua stepped forward and hugged Xu Shu, saying aggrievedly: "I think Qiao Jianhong took it away."
