Chapter 102 What is an Aunt?
"Brother Li, this puppy can actually understand what we say! It looks like it is full, so it doesn't want to eat anymore." Qiao Xiaoxi said as she handed the remaining meat pie in her hand back to Li Yanming.
I touched the puppy's furry head to show my love.
Looking at the cute puppy in front of her, Qiao Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile with joy.
"Dog, do you want to go with me?" Qiao Xiaoxi seemed to read some expectation and desire from the dog's eyes.
Qiao Xiaoxi raised her head with a bright smile on her face.
She said to Li Yanming expectantly, "Brother Li, how about we take this puppy in? I think it's so cute!"
Li Yanming looked at Qiao Xiaoxi's sincere and kind eyes, and his heart was moved. He nodded and said, "Since the girl likes it, take it."
Qiao Xiaoxi smiled happily.
"Little guy, from now on, you are also a member of our family!" Qiao Xiaoxi said softly while gently stroking the puppy's head.
Qiao Xiaoxi muttered to herself thoughtfully: "Well... I have to give you a nice name, let's call you Li..."
Just when Qiao Xiaoxi was halfway through her words, a picture suddenly flashed through her mind.
When naming Qiao Kele, Zhao Wudi objected to Qiao Kele having the surname Zhao.
After all, this was ancient times, and livestock did not reach the status of pets, and people were still quite superstitious about having the same surname as livestock.
Okay, now let the puppy take my surname, Qiao!
Now that it has a surname, what kind of name should it be given?
Qiao Xiaoxi began to ponder...
"Got it! How about I call you Qiao Xiaohei from now on?" Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the puppy happily, hoping that the puppy would like it.
Sure enough, the puppy seemed to understand and barked twice, as if to express its approval of the new name.
Qiao Xiaoxi couldn't help but let out a clear and pleasant laugh.
"Qiao Xiaohei, come home with your sister soon! From today on, your sister will support you~" Qiao Xiaoxi said gently and gently lifted the chicken coop.
Qiao Xiaohei seemed to understand what Qiao Xiaoxi said and wagged his furry little tail happily.
Sometimes he rushed to Qiao Xiaoxi like a naughty child, and sometimes he ran back behind Qiao Xiaoxi flexibly, as if he was playing an interesting chasing game with Qiao Xiaoxi.
Qiao Xiaoxi looked at this lovely Qiao Xiaoxi, with a happy smile on her face.
He turned to Li Yanming and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you see, our family will be very lively in the future!" His words were full of expectations and longings for future life.
When Li Yanming heard Qiao Xiaoxi say the three words "our family", a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Looking at Qiao Xiaoxi's beautiful smiling face, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile.
Li Yanming thought, it turns out that this lovely girl's surname is Qiao!
Qiao Xiaoxi mentioned before that the name should be written as "Li Qiao" on the marriage certificate. Now it seems that the girl's last name is indeed Qiao.
At this moment, Qiao Xiaoxi was playing with the puppy happily, laughing happily from time to time.
After a while, she started teasing the little chicken in her hand. These are my closest friends.
Qiao Xiaoxi smiled at Li Yanming and said, "Brother Li, a home should have the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking, that's how it's lively!"
Li Yanming smiled and nodded, and they walked towards the village together.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Qian Xiucai standing by the road, waiting anxiously.
When he saw Li Yanming, he immediately came up to him and asked with concern, "Yanming, did Tianyou get into the academy smoothly?"
Li Yanming smiled cheerfully and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Qian, Tianyou has successfully entered the academy."
Scholar Qian was overjoyed after hearing this, and his excitement was beyond words: "Great! Great! Tianyou finally got his wish and entered the county school! I have no regrets in my life."
The two chatted for a while, talking about Tianyou's future.
To Qiao Xiaoxi, these were all distant things.
When the two passed by a high-walled courtyard, a beautiful woman caught Qiao Xiaoxi's attention.
The woman had a graceful figure and a pretty face. She was standing quietly in front of the gate, gazing at Qiao Xiaoxi gently with a friendly smile.
Qiao Xiaoxi was a little overwhelmed by this sudden attention, but she quickly reacted and responded with the same bright smile.
The woman said softly, "If you have free time, you might as well come to my house and play." Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.
Qiao Xiaoxi was flattered and nodded repeatedly, expressing her willingness to visit.
When I turned around to look at Li Yanming again, Li Yanming had walked away!
Oh my god! Why didn’t Li Yanming wait for me?
Qiao Xiaoxi smiled at the woman, turned around quickly, and chased after Li Yanming like a happy little bird.
"Brother Li, why don't you wait for me? This sister is so beautiful, absolutely stunning! What's her name?" Qiao Xiaoxi asked curiously, blinking her bright big eyes.
Li Yanming scratched his head and replied with a smile: "Brother Li is not suitable to wait for girls there."
"Her name is Zhang Caiyun, and she is a widow, so the villagers call her Widow Zhang for convenience."
Oh! Qiao Xiaoxi understood!
There are always many troubles for a widow!
A man with decent intentions should avoid suspicion.
Afraid of unnecessary gossip.
Qiao Xiaoxi still frowned and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Oh, how can you do this? I obviously have my own name, but you insist on calling me Widow Zhang. How unpleasant! This is simply exposing my scars! It's so rude! I think it's better to call me Sister Zhang."
Li Yanming listened and smiled and said, "Well, you are right, young lady. I like her. If you see her next time, you can call her Sister Zhang."
Qiao Xiaoxi clapped her hands and said happily, "Great! When I see Zhang Caiyun in the future, I will call her Sister Zhang."
The two returned home chatting and laughing.
Qiao Xiaoxi quickly found a wide basket and put the chicks in it.
The chicken coop is too crowded.
Qiao Xiaoxi looked at Qiao Xiaohei next to her.
"Qiao Xiaohei, don't bully my chicks. Help me take care of them. Don't let mice or wild cats bully them."
Qiao Xiaohei barked twice to show that he understood.
Qiao Xiaoxi took some green vegetables, chopped them into small pieces, grabbed some flour, and mixed it into the chopped vegetables.
Place on a plate and spread out.
Feed it to the chicks.
He scooped some more water and put it next to the chicks.
Li Yanming was surprised: "Girl knows how to feed chickens?"
Qiao Xiaoxi forgot that she was in ancient times.
He casually said: "Our auntie takes chicks every year, and she has always fed them like this, and also buys insects to feed them."
"What is your aunt?"
"Ah! What is auntie? Are you an old-fashioned person? Auntie is a protector--" Qiao Xiaoxi said, looking up and laughing.
When he saw Li Yanming, he stopped talking.
Talk to an ancient person about an aunt and a nanny.
Oh my! This word did not exist in ancient times.
Qiao Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly.
Li Yanming also smiled and stopped asking questions.
"What would you like to eat, young lady? Brother Li will make it for you."
Qiao Xiaoxi thought about it and smiled.
"I still want to eat shredded pork noodles."
"Okay, Brother Li, go make the shredded pork noodles."
