Chapter 298: 164 Father and son (First change/update)_2

Fen Lin, suddenly abandoned by his brothers: “….”

Last New Year’s Eve was a bit rushed, one because Gu Jiao had just arrived not long ago and was still in a daze and had not fully adapted to her identity…well, actually she was just broke.

The second reason was also being broke.

This year, they are not so broke anymore.

Xiao Liulang had made quite a bit of money from Lin Chengye’s business, the money he earned in the county had been invested in mining, and the money he made in the Capital City had been invested in a medical hall. But Xiao Liulang had more sources of income apart from Lin Chengye’s business.

He occasionally wrote articles and poems for others and managed to earn a hundred taels of silver.

A hundred taels of silver was not a small amount. It could buy a mansion in the county. He gave thirty taels for Xiaojingkong’s rent for the month, and gave the remaining seventy taels to Gu Jiao for household expenses.

Xiaojingkong didn’t leave after receiving the rent, he stayed in the study room.

Xiao Liulang looked at him indifferently, “What’s wrong? Is the sum of silver incorrect?”

Xiaojingkong was conflicted.

On one hand, he didn’t want his bad brother-in-law to trick him. After all, he had expressed much anticipation for the 800 li priority mail for the first time.

On the other hand, he hoped that his bad brother-in-law had fooled him so that the bad brother-in-law would turn into Xiaoba, and he could round up and flatten him.

Xiaojingkong glanced complicatedly at his bad brother-in-law, didn’t say anything, and left quietly.

Xiaojingkong didn’t stick to Xiao Liulang unless necessary, like learning a foreign language, so he usually didn’t come to Xiao Liulang’s study room.

But today Xiaojingkong kept peeking from time to time, making Xiao Liulang puzzled.

Xiaojingkong was even more puzzled.

Why hasn’t the bad brother-in-law turned into Xiaoba?

The scale in Xiaojingkong’s heart was increasingly tilting, hoping for the first time that the bad brother-in-law had fooled him, because he couldn’t wait to knead and flatten the bad brother-in-law who had turned into Xiaoba!

The Guozijian finished its last day of classes and began vacation.

The next day, Xiao Liulang didn’t have to go to school, so he decided to go to the marketplace with Gu Jiao to buy more New Year’s goods.

In order to prepare for the New Year’s goods, the young couple got up earlier than usual.

When Xiaojingkong opened his eyes, Xiao Liulang was already not in bed.

He first looked around in the study room, then searched the front and back courtyards, then Gu Jiao’s, Gu Xiaoshun’s and Gu Yan’s rooms, he even didn’t miss the old lady’s room.

In the end, he concluded that his bad brother-in-law had really disappeared!

At this moment, Xiaoba wagged his tail and ran over.

The eyes of Xiaojingkong instantly glowed!

The family already had enough vegetables for the New Year, so this time they mainly bought snacks and things to entertain themselves.

“Should we buy firecrackers?” Xiao Liulang asked.

“Do we need to buy firecrackers?” Gu Jiao was puzzled, they had bamboos planted in their front yard, she could cut them and make firecrackers by herself!

But she hadn’t thought about the firecrackers before, she still had the thoughts of her previous life, thinking that the Capital City, being an important place, should forbid the lighting of fireworks and firecrackers.

Gu Jiao said, “Buy some red paper to write couplets and cut window flowers.”

Xiao Liulang nodded, “Okay.”

The red paper in the Capital City was nicer than those in the county city, so Gu Jiao bought a lot.@@novelbin@@

Xiao Liulang reminded, “This year, you don’t have to give couplets to Xue Ningxiang’s family.”

The red paper last year was given by Fen Lin. After Gu Jiao let Xiao Liulang write on them, she sent a pair to Xue Ningxiang’s family, along with some paper-cut window decorations.

Gu Jiao suddenly missed Xue Ningxiang.

She paused for a moment, then said, “But there’s a uncle, uncle’s family still needs to stick them.”

Xiao Liulang: Are you addicted to recognizing relatives?

After buying all the things, the two returned to Bishui Alley.

As soon as they entered the backyard, Xiao Liulang saw Xiaojingkong riding on a bench in the backyard, with Gu Yan’s puppy in front of him.

Xiaojingkong had put his tiger-head shoes and small vest on Xiaoba, and even took a comb and hair tie to tie Xiaoba’s hair.

Of course, he wasn’t good at tying, so the tufts of hair on Xiaoba’s head were actually tied by his neighbour’s uncle.

What he was doing now was just kneading Xiaoba.

He was ecstatic from kneading!

Xiaojingkong didn’t like playing with dogs before.

But, he’s a child after all, he changes his mind every day, so it’s not that strange.

Xiao Liulang was about to leave, but then he heard Xiaojingkong speaking to Xiaoba in a solemn tone, “Aheng~”

Xiao Liulang shuddered!

In the end, Xiaojingkong caught sight of Xiao Liulang.

But he had already identified Xiaoba in his arms as his bad brother-in-law, so was the bad brother-in-law appearing at the doorway Xiaoba?

Xiaojingkong hesitated, then suddenly raised his head and barked at Xiao Liulang, “Woof!”

Xiao Liulang: “….”

Xiao Liulang: “What the hell is wrong with you early in the morning?”

Xiaojingkong sighed.

He didn’t understand dog language.
