Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 263: Chapter 263: I’m Just Teasing You_1

”You...” Xiao Changyi didn’t answer, but just let out a helpless sigh that carried a doting smile within. The smile was light and faint, like a cup of clear tea, refreshing to one’s heart and spleen.

An Jing truly thought that her husband was so enticing at that moment, even though he could still come across as aloof, yet he exuded such a fatal attraction. Unable to hold back, she tilted her head up a little more and kissed him.

It was just a peck, like a dragonfly skimming the water, coming and going with a touch.

As soon as she pulled away from his lips, she said with a smiling eye, ”I know why, I was just teasing you.” She had always known that she was the most important to him.

Xiao Changyi’s cool lips curled slightly, hiding all his amusement at the corners of his mouth, ”I knew you were teasing me.”

An Jing raised an eyebrow, ”Are you trying to get me to praise you for being smart?”

Xiao Changyi shook his head slightly, ”No, I just wanted to tell you that sometimes your feigned ignorance is too obvious.”

An Jing wasn’t annoyed, but rather found it amusing. Her husband was actually poking fun at her, that was good, very good.

”I’m only this obvious in front of you.”

Upon hearing An Jing’s words, Xiao Changyi felt utterly content and extremely honest, ”I like you this way.”

An Jing, however, declared dominantly, ”No matter what you are like, I like you!”

Xiao Changyi chuckled, echoing her words along with his assurance, ”No matter what you are like, I like you.”

”That’s more like it.” An Jing was even happier.

Then, An Jing noticed a problem, ”Husband, have you noticed that I’ve grown taller?” Before, she only reached his chest, but now she was almost to his shoulder.

”Mm.” Xiao Changyi nodded his head. She had grown taller. Now he didn’t have to bend down, just lower his head to kiss her.

An Jing smiled with deep meaning, ”Do you feel in your heart that it’s less effort for us to kiss now?”

Xiao Changyi actually nodded, ”Mm.”

”Pfft...” An Jing burst into laughter in an instant. How could her husband be so adorable!

...

After harvesting the peanuts, An Jing and Xiao Changyi began gathering the sweet potatoes in the field.

That day, just as An Jing and Xiao Changyi had returned home from collecting sweet potatoes, Shi Xiaolan came over.

Seeing the size of the sweet potatoes, Shi Xiaolan sighed, ”This mountainous soil really is barren; one sweet potato from our home can match two of yours in size.”

An Jing also knew that their sweet potatoes were on the smaller side, but they didn’t rely on them as a staple food, so she laughed, ”We planted them as soon as they were available, so they’re like this. Hopefully, they will be better in the future. Xiao Lan, are you not busy at home, how come you have time to visit?”

Shi Xiaolan said, ”Well, there is a rich family in town that wants to build a mansion and they asked Fu Zi’s uncle to help find some people to work. It pays fifteen coins a day and could last for about a month. I came to ask if Brother Xiao would like to go.”

An Jing knew Shi Xiaolan meant well, but she never intended to let Xiao Changyi work for others to earn money; she hoped that every coin at home would be the result of both her and her husband’s efforts.

Moreover, working for others, if one encounters a kind family it’s okay, but if not, one is surely to be treated poorly, and how could she possibly bear to see her husband put through that?

Not to mention, they were not short on money now.

”No need, we are quite busy at home. I can’t do that much work alone; my husband needs to help me.” An Jing declined politely.

”But it’s fifteen coins a day, and it could last for quite a long time...” Shi Xiaolan said with regret. Her husband Fu Zi actually wanted to go, but unfortunately, with his lame leg, they definitely wouldn’t take him.
