Because of the help of the wooden stick, the flames suddenly became high. The flames that were dying were completely saved.

I looked at my masterpiece with satisfaction and started to use another longer stick to move back and forth inside the stove mouth to control the heat.

Houli's family had a very simple meal for lunch, just the usual noodle soup. After the old lady waited for me to take care of boiling the hot water, she also rolled out the noodles.

I smacked my lips as I watched the noodles about one finger wide being put into the pot, and licked the corners of my mouth with great appetite. My mother has never served me noodles for a long time, and we usually eat rice at home.

"Hey, our family usually eats these, Xiao Lin, don't blame me." The old woman smiled and stirred the pot twice with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

I smiled and shook my head, saying it was okay. Houli stayed in the room for a while before coming out, and the bell came with him.

As soon as Lingdang saw me fiddling with the stove fire, she ran over quickly, ignoring the choking smoke, squatted next to me, and started to stand upside down with me.

Houli had nothing to do, so he started chatting with me about his family's family affairs. He even asked me about the current situation of my family. I had to think about my reply and make up the most reasonable lie for him.

Watching me chatting eloquently with Houli, Ling Ding kept rolling his eyes at me.

I looked at him speechlessly and shrugged my shoulders. What did this guy look like at me? Seeing how uncomfortable I said it, he still despised me, otherwise he would do it himself?

If he hadn't come to see Xiao Wu, I really wouldn't have come.

After having lunch at Houli's house, Houli finally remembered business and took Lingdang and me into the main house. Houli's wife and newborn Xiao Wu were in the main house.

As soon as Lingdang and I entered, we immediately saw the woman sitting on the bed. The woman's face was a little pale, but her face was filled with a happy expression. She was completely different from Houli.

She was very happy about the arrival of this new baby.

But when he turned around and saw Houli with a sad face, the expression on his face instantly dimmed a bit and then became gloomy.

"Hello, sister-in-law." The atmosphere couldn't help but feel a little awkward, so I quickly said hello. When the woman saw me, she regained her smile and politely replied: "This is Xiao Lin, right? He's really handsome. This

Young man."

Listening to others complimenting me on how handsome I am, I still nodded with great pleasure. Men always feel arrogant when they are complimented on how handsome they are.

Because only at that moment can a man's ambition and vanity be greatly satisfied. Especially when these words are spoken from the honest villagers, not from the smooth-tongued people in the city.

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Brother Hou is obviously much more handsome than me, otherwise how could he marry such a beautiful sister-in-law?" I replied with a smile.

The woman's face turned red at what I said, and she said a little shyly: "You kid, why are you talking so out of touch? You're even older than me."

"But my sister-in-law is good-looking and her charm is still there." I lowered my head and said, because my words were still somewhat frivolous, so out of politeness, I could only lower my head and say it.

Houli smiled and slapped me on the back: "I haven't seen you for so long, and you have become very eloquent. At that time, you were still a reckless boy who stuttered."

"Brother Hou, look what you said, people are changing." I scratched my head in embarrassment.

Lingdang couldn't stand the politeness we kept here, and went straight to the bed. He didn't dare to get too close to the woman, he just stood there, pointed to the quiet child in the woman's arms and said, "You can let me hug you."

What about Xiao Wu?"

"Okay, but be gentle." The woman looked at the childish Ling Dang, obviously a little worried. After all, people in the city, especially such a big boy, are a little ignorant of propriety.

Xiao Wu was only about a day old, and his body was very delicate, so he couldn't be bumped into. And even the salary was very particular.

The woman began to talk slowly to the bell, and the bell listened patiently, and finally handed Xiao Wu over.

Xiao Wu, who had been quietly twiddling his fingers, was staring at Ling Ding who was about to take him into his arms with his big, watery eyes.

"Xiao Wu," Ling Dang followed the woman's instructions and hugged Xiao Wu in the hug she taught him. The moment Xiao Wu fell into her arms, Ling Dang's expression became softer.

It looked like he was handling a treasure, so cautiously that the corners of my mouth twitched as I looked at it.

Is this a bell? Does a bell have such an expression? I can’t believe it no matter how much I think about it.

Lingdang whispered Xiao Wu's name in a low voice, saying it over and over again. He called her for a long time without even moving to touch Xiao Wu.

Seeing him being so careful, I couldn't help walking over and teasing the chubby Xiao Wu with him. Xiao Wu had big dark eyes and the hair on his head had been shaved off.

Yes, I have a little bald head.

The moment I came closer, Xiao Wu's eyes glanced at me. Suddenly, he smiled. He smiled cheerfully, his mouth slightly grinning, without a single tooth in his mouth.

Only the pink gums are exposed.

"Ah, daddy, look at Xiao Wu, does he recognize you?" Ling Dang whispered, the expression on his face became even more joyful. As his first friend, Xiao Wu is naturally the one he cares about most.

The one I can't worry about.

When your friends are happy, you will be happy. This sentence is correct. Because Ling Dang was like this at this time. When he looked at the cheerful Xiao Wu, his own mood was inexplicably much better.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could he recognize me at such a young age? And after reincarnation, people have no memory of past lives." I rolled my eyes at Ling Ding, then flicked my tongue and continued to tease Xiao Wu.

After being silent for a while, I smiled shamelessly and said, "Maybe it's because I'm so handsome. Xiao Wu laughs, which means he agrees with me that I'm handsome." I didn't lower my voice when saying this.

explain.

So Hou Li and the woman over there also heard it. They both turned their heads at the same time and smiled helplessly at each other.

As a result of my words, Xiao Wu smiled even more happily. "Giggle, giggle," the unique sound of a baby's laughter sounded in the room.

The rest of us felt a lot more comfortable because of the laughter. After being silent for a while, Ling Dang finally reached out and tried to poke Xiao Wu in the face with his finger.

But in front of Xiao Wu's face, he stopped. Because he noticed that his nails were a little too long, and he was afraid of hurting Xiao Wu, so he didn't dare to touch them again.
