To be able to show that he wasn’t mendacity, the poor baby hurriedly jumped up, grabbed the bow and arrow held on the wall in entrance of Aunty Xie, and confirmed him the clear bowl.
Aunty Xie checked out it with suspicion, “You really need contained in the mountain yesterday afternoon?”
“Sure, sure, I did.”
“Okay, you might be actually good. A ger dares to enter the mountain by himself huh?” Aunty Xie wired his hand and pinched Xu Qing’s ear, who was nonetheless proving his innocence, and shouted loudly.
Ugh, he actually couldn’t disguise from others. Xu Qing’s face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum in ache, “Ahh, I used to be unsuitable. I used to be unsuitable. Please.”
“Will you go once more, huh?”
“Gained’t go. Gained’t go once more.”
As quickly as Aunty Xie let go, Xu Qing instantly reached out and rubbed the ear that Aunty Xie simply pinched. How may this individual be so robust?
“Actually? , you’re a ger. Working into the mountain alone, I don’t know whether it is …” Aunty Xie paused, “You’re the final descent of the Xu household.”
Xu Qing stopped rubbing his ear, walked to Aunty Xie‘s aspect, and pulled him to take a seat down, “I do know. Thanks, aunt.”

You’re nonetheless considerate.” Aunty Xie actually didn’t count on Xu Qing to consider recruiting a husband. He was fearful.

Xu Qing may nearly stuff an egg inside his wide-open mouth. Aunty Xie checked out Xu Qing’s expression and knew that he thought unsuitable. His face darkened a bit of bit, “Do you imply neither marrying nor recruiting?” Earlier than Xu Qing may reply, he was much more shocked by what Aunty Xie mentioned afterwards, “Don’t that for those who’re not married by 21, you may be matched by the officers in your twenty first birthday?

“Alright, don’t be too afraid. I requested somebody to quietly regarded into the state of affairs yesterday. The lads who simply got here again from the navy are probably the most wanted yearly. Inform aunty, what variety you want? I’ll search for one.”
Xu Qing lowered his head and fell silent. He did quite a lot of calculations, however he didn’t notice that there have been such issues on this world. Overlook it, the truth is, it’s fairly lonely to be all by himself.
“I need to recruit.” Xu Qing regarded up at Aunty Xie and mentioned firmly, “He have to be a number of years older than me. Mustn’t ever married earlier than.” He has a sense of cleanliness (T/N: it was actually written like that within the raws).
“Will need to have good mood,” in any other case how may they get alongside?
“Will need to have a technical talent.” You’ll be able to’t simply eat plain rice.
“And have an look I like …”
“Cease, cease!” Aunty Xie was a bit of dizzy, “I can perceive what you mentioned earlier, however this look factor … what do you want then?”
Xu Qing was shocked. What he favored? He was nonetheless single in his earlier life, and he has by no means even dated earlier than. “Anyway, it must be somebody pleasing to my eyes,” Xu Qing, who was blushing and rubbing his neck, stammered distortedly.
Aunty Xie was pleased. He was afraid Xu Qing was ready till formally matched by the officers. This time he can proceed with confidence.
“Alright. Then I’m leaving. There are corn buns I made this morning within the basket. Eat once they’re nonetheless sizzling. I’ll be certain that to choose one for you.”
Xu Qing was now not ashamed when he heard that Aunty Xie was leaving. He grabbed the basket and stuffed it in Aunty Xie‘s hand, “In case you don’t settle for the rabbit meat, I gained’t recruit.”
“What are you speaking about? Okay, okay, didn’t I say that I haven’t had rabbit meat in years? If it wasn’t for not realizing the origin of the meat, your uncle and I’d have completed it paired with a drink way back. Thanks. Now go away. Don’t ship me off. Go wash and clear up.
