What does this mean?
Seeing Tao Zhu's confused look again, Li Qiao couldn't help but laugh. Although his facial features were sharp and handsome, he still looked confused from time to time. This contrast made him feel itchy.
It happened that there were no pedestrians on the road at this time, so he grabbed Tao Zhu's calloused hand and said seriously: "Relax, don't be burdened."
Tao Zhu: "..."
He lowered his eyes, his cheeks felt slightly hot, and the hand he was holding also became warm.
All the pessimism in his mind dissipated a lot, replaced by the "feel" of his hands.
There are too many calluses on his hands and the skin is rough, so it is definitely not easy to touch...
Li Qiao looked extremely serious: "I don't think we should have children too early. We owe a lot of debt. We must pay off the debt first. Otherwise, if we give birth to a child, the child will suffer hardships with us."
"After paying off the debt, let's repair the house and buy dozens of acres of farmland, so that we can have the confidence to have children."
He was thrown into an orphanage by his parents. His childhood experiences left him with little desire for children.
In addition, he has seen too many tragedies in the apocalypse, so when he mentions children, the first thing that comes to his mind is not the innocence and cuteness of cubs, but responsibility.
If he couldn't protect his children from growing up safely and happily, then he would rather not have children.
Of course, this idea is a bit extreme in this world, so he added: "If we really can't give birth, we can adopt one."
"My eldest brother is more than ten years older than me. He has always regarded me as his son. If I want to become his grandson, he will definitely be willing to do so even if the generational hierarchy is a bit messy."
"My eldest sister-in-law should also be willing. She actually treats me as half a son. Otherwise, how could she tolerate my eldest brother ruining his fortune to pay off my gambling debts."
"...Do you really think so?"
Tao Zhu was very surprised, with surprise and disbelief on his face.
"Of course. To put it bluntly, if our child is born and faced with the experiences you have had since childhood, would you be willing to give birth?"
"I don't want to!"
Tao Zhu answered quickly and decisively.
Li Qiao suddenly laughed: "So don't be burdened. Don't think about having children until we have a house and a land."
"Although we say we need to drink enough water, I still hope that our children can really eat enough and eat delicious and spicy food every day."
"good."
Tao Zhu took a long breath.
He believed him for now.
"Oh, yes, there is one last thing." Li Qiao suddenly said.
"What?" Tao Zhu was relieved and became angry again.
"Your hands have slender fingers, round and clean nails, and well-defined joints. They are the most beautiful hands I have ever seen." Li Qiao looked serious.
Tao Zhu: "..."
The corners of his mouth were completely out of his control and turned up hard, but he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you think it's too rough?"
"It's nice to be rough and feel strong to the touch. If I like something soft and delicate, then I might as well go find a little girl. That's how I like you."
Li Qiao still had a serious face, but his hand gently scratched Tao Zhu's palm.
"……rogue!"
Holding back the slight itch, Tao Zhu glared at him, saying what he was talking nonsense in broad daylight.
rogue?
Li Qiao wants to cry out for injustice, but this is where he is going.
But looking at his earlobes that were so red that they were bleeding, he swallowed his words.
Brother Zhu is still too shy. A person like him who has seen countless big scenes should take it step by step.
Just as a passer-by came in front, he let go of Tao Zhu's hand: "Okay, okay, I'm a gangster. I'm only ganging on you. I won't talk nonsense. Just wait a moment. We have to make Feng Gao after we get home. Five It’s ten pounds.”
"No, you need to take a nap. I haven't made Feng Gao yet. When the time comes, you will take the lead and I will take the lead."
When it came to tomorrow's fifty-pound deal, Tao Zhu put away all his thoughts and shook his head in rejection.
"Okay, I'll sleep first." Li Qiao didn't show any pretense.
Fifty kilograms of rich cakes did take a long time, so he had to take a rest.
He had developed the ability to sleep with his eyes closed during the last days. Now he was lying on the cart and fell asleep in less than a minute.
Tao Zhu turned his head and glanced from his eyebrows to his chin. The more he looked at him, the happier he became.
As an older leftover, Tao Zhu naturally fantasized about his future husband-in-law, but after daydreaming countless times, he never dared to imagine that a man would praise him for his good looks and not care about his children.
And this person not only talks sweetly, but also uses actions to make him feel at ease.
He must catch such a good person. No one can stop him from getting married to this person.

I think this chapter is sweet~
Chapter 21 Making Feng Gao and Sending Feng Gao
When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu returned to Sanliu Village, it was noon. Old Tao hadn't woken up yet, and Tao Shu, Lai Dongmei, and Mrs. Tao were having lunch.
Li Qiao carried Old Tao into the house, left the medicine bag, and told Old Mrs. Tao the cooking method. Then, regardless of the curses and obstructions of Old Mrs. Tao, Tao Shu, and Lai Dongmei, he left Tao's house with Tao Zhu. .
After putting the maltose and uneaten steamed buns back home, the two of them went to the dealer to return the oxcart and bought a hundred kilograms of flour at the dealer.
As a landowner, the banker has no shortage of flour.
Of course, there is no shortage of dry firewood and eggs.
Therefore, when they came out of the banker's house, Li Qiao was carrying flour on his shoulders, and Tao Zhu was carrying a large bundle of dry firewood on his back and a basket of eggs in his arms, and the two of them returned to Li Qiao's small courtyard.
Tao Zhu didn't have time to look at the courtyard just now. At this time, he stood in the courtyard and looked around carefully, feeling a little surprised.
"You are so busy every day, do you still have time to clean the yard?"
This yard was cleaner than the dealer's yard, which was beyond his expectation.
"Sweep whatever you want."
Li Qiao replied with a smile.
That is to say, use the superpower to wash it with water. On the one hand, it saves trouble, and on the other hand, it is to practice the superpower.
Although making money is important, superpowers are more important. Since time travel, he has been practicing superpowers. When he is at home, when he is catching fish, when there is no one on the road, it is practice to find every opportunity.
Only supernatural powers can make him feel at ease.
"Diligent." Tao Zhu complimented him without knowing his details.
"Thank you Brother Zhu for your compliment."
Li Qiao smiled and thanked her: "Come, put down the firewood, let's take a rest and then make Feng Gao."
"No need to rest, rest after finishing."
Tao Zhu stared at the kitchen with fiery eyes.
This is the first time he has been exposed to such a big business - he is not qualified to touch the so-called businesses that his elder brother is busy with. He is mainly responsible for the work in the fields and the housework at home.
"good."
Li Qiao naturally had no objection.
So the two people entered the kitchen.
The recipe of Shaqima is quite simple. Mix eggs with flour, knead the dough, let the dough rise for a while, then roll it out like noodles, cut it into finger-long strips, and finally fry it in a pan.
After frying, stir-fry the maltose into syrup in a separate pot, then pour the fried noodles into the syrup, stir-fry, and finally scoop them out and flatten them on the chopping board.
In this way, Shaqima is ready.
Li Qiao was often hungry when he was in the orphanage, so later he was able to quietly work as a child when he was older. He went to catering establishments.
Not to mention how much the salary is, at least the food is enough.
Of course, he didn't eat for free, he secretly learned a lot of food recipes.
Although his cooking skills are average, he does know a lot of ways to eat.
Now he wanted to use Shaqima as a long-term livelihood. He used the serious concentration when practicing superpowers and dealing with zombies, and only tried it a few times before mastering the technique.
At this time, he taught Tao Zhu all the skills. Because the method was really simple and Tao Zhu was good at cooking, when the second pot was made, Tao Zhu started to do it himself.
The two of them divided the work and worked together all afternoon. When the sun went down, they finally made more than 60 kilograms of Shaqima.
The task was completed and the two were ready to make dinner.
"Brother Zhu, what do you want to eat for dinner?" Li Qiao asked.
"Hmm... I want to eat something salty."
Tao Zhu touched his belly and felt a little emotional.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Qiao kept feeding him Shaqima, which was so sweet that now he only wanted to eat salty things.
This was a scene he had never imagined.
Obviously yesterday he was soaked in coptis juice, but now he is so tired of sweets that he wants to change his taste.
"There is still a piece of dough left. Roll it out and eat noodles." Li Qiao also wanted to eat something salty.
Tao Zhu also fed him a few pieces of Shaqima in the afternoon. Now there was a sweet smell in his mouth, and he also wanted to change his taste.
"good."
Tao Zhu picked up the rolling pin and started rolling the noodles.
In the past, he could only eat a bowl of this kind of noodles without any other grains during the wheat harvest and Chinese New Year. Of course, if the wheat harvest was not good that year, he would not be able to eat this kind of noodles for the whole year.
