Chapter 145 Having A Boyfriend Like Milksop
When they went out to carry crabs, Zheng Duoyin chose the dirtiest shoes. Hearing this, he realized his shoes were filthy and blushed deeply.
He touched his nose and muttered, "Who carries crabs in clean shoes?"
Zhou Sheng patted him on the shoulder and mocked, "Carrying crabs doesn't mean you have to wear shoes for working in the fields."
"Shoo!"
Zheng Duoyin angrily picked up the shoes and bucket and walked ahead, followed by Zhou Sheng and Zhu Xiaohua.
Zhou Sheng laughed. "Duoyin, you're not getting angry like a little girl, are you? Hahaha..."
"Get lost! If it weren't for your future wife here, I would’ve already done something to you." Zheng Duoyin glared at him.
Xie Yuntang, at the back, blushed slightly and handed his shoes to Su Tao, somewhat stubbornly. "Sister Taozi, you wear these."
"No need, I'm not cold."
Seeing that he didn't move, Su Tao had no choice but to take his shoes, sat on the ground, and started taking her shoes off, not avoiding Xie Yuntang at all.
Instead, Xie Yuntang hurriedly turned around, afraid that Zheng Duoyin and the others would turn around and see, and took off his outer garment to cover her.
Su Tao, "..."
Milksop was really a good man who upheld male virtue.
She took off her wet socks, wiped them neatly on her trouser legs, and then put on his shoes.
His shoes were clean and comfortable.
However, the shoes were too long. She didn’t know that Xie Yuntang's feet were so big.
She usually only thought he was tall.
Thinking of this, she looked up at the figure next to her. Xie Yuntang’s hair tied up at the back of his head was slightly flying, and there was a strange, indescribable vibe about him.
It seemed reassuring.
"Milksop, help me up."
Xie Yuntang finally looked over, then reached out to help her up, and then he put back on his outer garment.
Of all the families, Xie Yuntang's family was the most easygoing. Of course, they went to the Xie family's house. Zheng Duoyin and Zhou Sheng cleaned the crabs, while Zhu Xiaohua watched from the side, occasionally helping to scoop water.
Xie Yuntang led Su Tao inside to change her shoes. Although Su Tao was no longer staying with the Xie family, she still had some clothes and shoes there.
After putting on clean shoes, Su Tao opened a drawer with familiarity, took out some candied fruit, and popped one into her mouth.
Then she took some out for the others to eat, acting like the lady of the house.
Xie Yuntang said nothing, indulgently following behind her.
Zhou Sheng took one, but immediately gave it to Zhu Xiaohua. Zhu Xiaohua blushed and said shyly, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. If you like it, I'll go to town to buy you some tomorrow," Zhou Sheng said honestly.
Although he knew candied fruit was expensive, a man should treat his wife well.
Su Tao almost choked on the sweetness, but she still felt a little envious. She definitely wanted to find a boyfriend when she got home.
Someone like Milksop.
Subconsciously, only someone like Milksop could unconditionally indulge her.
There was only one Milksop...
"I'm going to find a wife too."
Zheng Duoyin was a little jealous, then looked at Su Tao and joked, "Big Sister, why don’t we become a couple?"
Big Sister was great except for being a bit fierce. She was especially pretty too.
Sometimes he felt shy just looking at her.
Xie Yuntang's face immediately tightened, showing slight anger. "Duoyin, don't say things like that."
Zheng Duoyin knew he disliked joking, so he touched his nose sheepishly. "Just kidding, just kidding."
Su Tao didn't think anything of it, and gave him a light tap on the head, saying fiercely, "Become a couple, my foot! You find one yourself, I need to pick a good one." She then raised an eyebrow.
Zheng Duoyin clutched his head in pain, saying, "Big Sister, you're too fierce! No one will dare marry you."
Su Tao didn't care. She ate another piece of candied fruit, and said smugly, "I wouldn't even look at anyone who wanted to marry me. Marrying anyone would just be a bargain for them, so I won't get married."
Zheng Duoyin was speechless. "..."
"Big Sister, you're so... thick-skinned. Only you could say something like that."
"Thank you for the compliment. Hurry up and get the crabs ready so that they can be fried and eaten."
Su Tao raised her hand and gave him another slap, then handed the candied fruit to Xie Yuntang, casually asking, "Do you want some?" As she spoke , she noticed Mrs. Xie-Qin watching them from the main hall.
She subconsciously took a piece of candied fruit and fed it to Xie Yuntang's mouth, "Here."
Xie Yuntang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and ate it. "Thank you, Sister Taozi." His earlobes turned slightly red as he spoke.
"Sister, you're being unfair! I didn't get any. I want one too!" Zheng Duoyin howled.
"You're just being envious."
Su Tao rolled her eyes at him. In the past few years, she hadn't learned anything else from Lin Sanzhu, but she had picked up a whole bunch of swear words.
These vulgar words were something only she could say in front of so many men.
Zheng Duoyin, "..."
Zhou Sheng coughed. "..."
Zhu Xiaohua remained silent.
Xie Yuntang seemed used to it. He was afraid Su Tao would feed Zheng Duoyin, so he said, "I'll get you some." He then handed Zheng Duoyin a piece.
Zheng Duoyin accepted it, somewhat flattered, and popped it into his mouth, saying jokingly, "I didn't expect Yuntang to give me one."
Su Tao rolled her eyes at him, then whispered to Xie Yuntang, "You're not allowed to give him anything, okay?"
Milksop’s things could only be given to her.
Xie Yuntang nodded. "Okay."
Although he spoke softly, Zheng Duoyin still heard him. Usually, the group didn't hold back when they talked, and he blurted out, "Big Sister, you're so domineering! You forbid Yuntang from this, you forbid Yuntang from that. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were his wife. You’re so strict."
"Mind your own business. Milksop, go get the needle, I'm going to sew his mouth shut." Su Tao glared at Zheng Duoyin angrily, then nudged Xie Yuntang.
Seeing that Xie Yuntang was really going to get the needle, Zheng Duoyin chickened out and quickly apologized, "Big Sister, I was wrong, I was wrong."
A plate of crabs was fried, but Zhou Sheng and the others only had a few bites and then went back after a while.
Su Tao glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late. Lin Sanzhu and Su Fu were both busy today, so she had to go back and cook.
Even though her cooking wasn’t good, she still had to cook.
Sigh, sometimes she found it unbelievable that she was so diligent.
Her father would be heartbroken if he found out.
"Milksop, I'm going back too."
"Aren't you going to eat?" Xie Yuntang was a little reluctant.
He only spent time with Su Tao during the day, and sometimes when she didn't come to school, he could only visit her at noon.
"My parents are busy today. I have to go back and cook."
"I'll help you."
Hearing this, Su Tao was naturally happy to have someone help with the cooking, "Okay."
Then she said to Mrs. Xie-Qin and Xie Qing, "Uncle Xie, Auntie Xie, I'm going back home with Brother Yuntang. He'll come back after dinner."
Mrs. Xie-Qin smiled and nodded in agreement. "Okay."
……
At Su Tao’s house.
The gate to the yard was locked from the outside, clearly indicating no one was home.
Su Tao fumbled for her key to unlock the door, and the chickens in the yard started clucking incessantly as soon as they saw her. "Stop clucking, it's so annoying."
Although she said that, she still deftly fed them the chicken feed beside her. "Eat more, get fat and I'll eat you all up for the New Year."
Xie Yuntang smiled, which Su Tao naturally heard. She turned and glared at him. "Milksop, you've even learned to smirk now. If you weren't so handsome, you'd definitely look creepy."
"Go and start a fire."
