Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All novel Chapter 1781

Chapter 1781: Chapter 1328: I Never Had a Chance

Cai Xiufen smiled at Captain Kang, and when she heard that, Captain Kang had just taken a puff of dry tobacco, but suddenly got choked and coughed nonstop. Seeing this, Cai Xiufen burst out laughing: "What, you think what I said is wrong?"

"How old are you now, still not steady at all. Aren’t you afraid the eldest will hear and laugh at you?"

The coughing finally stopped, and Captain Kang gave Cai Xiufen a look that was hard to describe.

"What’s so funny about it?"

Cai Xiufen didn’t care.

Captain Kang put out his tobacco pot, then placed it together with the pipe on the kang cabinet.

"Where are you heading off to?"

Cai Xiufen was holding her sleeping little grandson—Kang Guoan’s son—in her arms. She saw Captain Kang coming off the kang to put on his shoes, so she couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m going to check in at my big brother’s place."

The old father’s birthday is tomorrow. Even though the eldest brother is handling everything, and he as the second, along with the third, just needs to chip in manpower and money, as a brother, he couldn’t really not lend a hand at all.

Besides, Mom and Dad only had the three of them. Now the old folks are up in age—every day together is one less. It’s good to go over, have a chat, keep them company.

"Don’t forget to wear that big cotton coat."

Cai Xiufen had no issue with Captain Kang going to Big Uncle Kang’s house, but she still reminded him to dress warmly, just so he wouldn’t catch a chill outside.

"What big cotton coat? Li Bao’s said it more than once, this is called a down jacket."

Since every room in the house has heating pipes—even the living room’s cozy—unless they leave the house, Captain Kang, Cai Xiufen, and all the others don’t wear thick coats.

Like right now, Captain Kang’s only wearing a thin sweater with a snug down vest on top.

"It’s all the same, just called different things."

Cai Xiufen gave Captain Kang a sidelong glance: "So old now, and you’re acting picky. But at the end of the day, you’re still an old geezer!"

He grabbed the down jacket hanging on the rack, put it on, and turned to Cai Xiufen: "I really don’t know what to say to you, woman."

The cotton coat’s filled with cotton, and the down jacket’s filled with... what?

His wife had lived in North City longer than him, how come she still didn’t know the difference between a cotton coat and a down jacket?

Captain Kang shook his head quietly to himself.

"Are you saying bad things about me in your heart?"

Just as he was about to step out, Cai Xiufen’s voice came from behind. Captain Kang’s footsteps paused.

"What bad things could I say?"

He set his gaze on Cai Xiufen, face stiff, as he asked.

"Saying I don’t know the difference between a cotton coat and a down jacket."

The two of them had lived together for decades. Never so much as raised their voices. No need to speak of their feelings—it meant they knew each other well enough that even the smallest expression could reveal what the other was thinking.

Sure enough, as soon as Cai Xiufen spoke, she caught Captain Kang guiltily dodging her look.

"Admit it, huh?"

"Admit what? Always overthinking for nothing!"
