Chapter 227 The Laziness of Farmer's Lucky Baby 2nd Sister 33
Golden autumn September.
It wasn't until the Xia family finished their housewarming ceremony that people started arriving to "warm the house."
The three members of the Chao family arrived the fastest.
Xia Liangjun and Master Chao were close friends. They both had some family wealth, but they were single-mindedly focused on studying and passing the imperial examinations to bring honor to their ancestors.
In the end, he regretfully embarked on a life of business.
Fortunately, by middle age, his children had become successful, and the family's revival was in sight.
The thing that troubles Master Chao the most right now is the matter of Chao Shuang finding a son-in-law.
He always felt sorry for his eldest daughter, who was busy with her business and was over thirty years old but still couldn't find the time to start a family. At the same time, he didn't dare let her go through the ordeal of childbirth.
As time went on, she thought she could rely on her younger brother, Chao Si, to carry on the family line, but little did she know that this second son was even more disappointing.
Not only can he not get a wife, but he is also weak.
After much hardship, she had trained herself to look somewhat like a hero under the Xia brothers' guidance, and thought she could finally stand tall and take over the responsibilities from the father and daughter.
To everyone's surprise, after being politely refused, they reverted to their original state and shrank back.
I don't know what he's doing all day; he doesn't go out or try to win her back.
He really embarrassed his older sister.
When the Xia sisters received Chao Shuang, they realized that their house was right next door. Although they weren't exactly adjacent, it was much more convenient than before.
You don't need to ride a horse or drive a car; you can come directly on foot.
Chao Shuang has a cheerful personality, and she gets along well with most of them, except for Tian Chaoyu.
Before she could even sit down properly, Chao Shuang was invited over.
They are the ones who truly share the same interests.
As for Chao Si, he was dragged to the Xia family with a conflicted feeling, but he didn't dare to see the people he wanted to see. He could only be called over by Xia Yiliu and Yu Lingling, who were not at all like strangers, to have a little sparring.
The result is obvious.
The price of complacency is being defeated.
Chao Si lay motionless on the ground, and the two people who had a stable relationship with him and often practiced with him felt a subtle sense of sympathy.
But only a little.
They could tell who was on their side, and if Chao Si couldn't get his second sister's approval, then he couldn't possibly stand on the same side.
At most, he was a neighbor with a closer relationship, receiving more favors than Xia Yisong's colleagues, and the benefits of the return should be attributed to Chao Shuang.
just,
"Third brother, help me up, the ground is cold."
Should I take you back?
"No, I'll just find a bed and take a nap." Chao Si stretched lazily on the ground and even yawned.
He showed no signs of dejection.
It was as if they had just imagined it.
"Put on an extra cloth so that the dust doesn't soil Second Sister's soft couch."
"Alright." Chao Si's personal servant hurriedly stepped forward and laid out a softer bun for his master.
Then they helped him lie down without even trying to treat his wound.
Inside the newly built training ground is a pavilion, specially furnished to be very comfortable, with a soft couch, a square table, and several brocade quilts. All of this was so that Xia Youmi could move around a bit more.
She would occasionally practice with her brother, or simply lie there and chat with her family to pass the time.
But at least it can still get people out and about.
She hadn't even slept in this new place yet, but Chao Si got to try it out.
"Whoosh-"
Seeing that Chao Si fell asleep instantly after lying down, Xia Yiliu gave up on the idea of talking and returned to the front hall with her brother-in-law.
Only the master and servant remained.
In the afternoon, Xia Youmi heard about Chao Si's unusual behavior from her third brother.
I was planning to come and take a look.
As he walked, he kept analyzing the situation in his mind with Nian Nian. This shouldn't be happening! Judging from their past interactions, Chao Si is a shameless young man who just lies flat.
Although he loves his family.
But if he is used to being taken care of, and if he can reflect on his actions and feel unworthy of it, he might decide to become a strong person because of some fleeting attraction.
He must have mutated.
"Youmi—" Xia Youmi had just stepped into the pavilion when she heard a familiar and lazy voice calling from inside.
"What, with your face painted like that, have you lost all sense of decorum?"
Xia Youmi lifted the gauze curtain and saw Chao Si's miserable face, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Style is useless, it can even make people catch a cold."
"Tsk tsk, you've finally returned to your original appearance."
Xia Youmi sat on another tatami mat, feeling somewhat sentimental.
They had known each other for many years, so it seemed rather strange that he had suddenly become enlightened during his travels. This was also the reason why Xia Youmi ultimately "sent" him back.
She wouldn't reciprocate, so she should have cut his red thread long ago.
"I've figured it out..." Chao Si's voice was soft, and one could hear a hint of relief in it.
"That's good."
"Aren't you going to ask me what I've understood?"
"Ok?"
"I understand. What do you want? What do I want?"
After saying that, Chao Si slumped heavily onto the soft couch, nestled into the brocade quilt, which smelled sweet and had been properly dried in the sun, making her feel very at ease.
"Oh, alright."
Xia Youmi seemed to understand, but didn't really want to get to the bottom of it.
Chao Si is not only a silly and cheerful person, but also a sensitive and thoughtful person who is lazy but has a self-consistent core.
Such a spoiled brat with unclear temperament but simple goals is rare, but he will definitely be a happy, carefree guy.
There's really no need to drag the other person into the male lead's group for judgment.
Xia Youmi picked a few kumquats from the tree outside the pavilion, wiped them, handed them to Chao Si, and then strolled away from the training ground.
"Ouch, it's sour." Chao Si took a bite and almost choked.
The servant stepped forward to take it, but Chao Si waved his hand and then forced himself to swallow it.
"Young master, this is so plump and looks so good, why is it sour?" the servant asked innocently. "Could it be that it's not ripe enough?"
Chao Si popped another kumquat into his mouth and chewed it slowly:
"Perhaps... we're too familiar with each other."
evening,
Many more guests arrived and sat down at separate tables.
The banquet was prepared by the head chef of a large restaurant in Fengzhou City. He entrusted his apprentice to the Xia family to cook, so he naturally didn't mind showing off his skills on some important occasions.
Xia Youqing also has plans to invest in a restaurant, which would be mutually beneficial.
Yu Lingling's family was unwilling to settle in Fengzhou City, but he did not give up the idea of his family business. He took over a small tool shop and planned to learn how to run it first.
Tian Chaoyu didn't object to her family members' busy lives at all. Even she and Madam Hong had their eyes on several jewelry shops and planned to switch to selling feng shui pendants.
Xia Youmi and Xia Youtian didn't need to work, yet their property deeds, land deeds, and house deeds kept increasing.
Life is a mixture of chaos and order.
And so, Lunar New Year's Eve arrived.
This year marks our first New Year since settling in Fengzhou City, so we can't be careless at all.
Despite hiring many more people, things are much easier than before.
But everyone in the Xia family was still busy until the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Pearl flowers!"
"Hey lady, did your lipstick come off?"
"Second sister, stop laughing, quickly help me apply some more!"
The family members crowded into the dressing room that Xia Youmi had specially set up, discussing their outfits all at once.
Now, she's not the only one who can do makeup. Hong Ya and Xia Youtian learn these skills very quickly, and they share the makeup duties with Tian Chaoyu and Madam Hong.
Let Xia Youmi focus on drawing only for her eldest sister.
